To Win Love "O Aonghus who bore the wounds of love and longing, If this person be ordained for me, Let me hold their hand now, and breathe their breath. O My Love, I set a charm on the top of your head; To the sole of your foot; To each side of your breast; That you may not leave me nor forsake me. As a foal after a mare, As a child after the mother, May you stay with me and follow with me till death comes to part us asunder. Let It Be So." Note: This is an adaptation of a christianised charm. Source version can be found in Ancient Legends, Mystic Charms and Superstitions of Ireland, by Lady Wilde. 1888. © Shee-Eire: |
