This book is a neat combination of history, folklore, prayers and blessings collected by Alexander Carmichael in Scotland in the 1800s. In a long introduction describing his experience, he says
The customs described were fascinating, and what really struck me was that there seemed to be a blessing or prayer for every occasion. I was touched that they even had blessings for their cattle as they sent them out to graze.
I highlighted a few of my favorite lines. This is one I liked, part of a blessing said while kindling a fire.
I enjoyed the poetry of the language, and I felt like I learned something too. Neat book. ( )
