The Descent of Brigid/The genealogy of the holy maiden Brigid
Radiant flame of gold, noble foster-mother of Christ,
Brighid the daughter of Dugall the brown,
Son of Aodh, son of Art, son of Conn,
Son of Criara, son of Cairbre,
Son of Cas, son of Cormac, son of Cartach, son of Carruin.
Every day and every night
That I say the genealogy of Bríde,
I shall not be killed, I shall not be harried,
I shall not be put in cell, I shall not be wounded,
Neither shall Christ leave me in forgetfulness.
No fire, no sun, no moon shall burn me,
No lake, no water, nor sea shall drown mc,
No arrow of fairy nor dart of fay shall wound me,
And I under the protection of my Holy Mary,
And my gentle foster-mother is my beloved Bríde.
Carmina Gadelica, Volume 1, by Alexander Carmicheal
The Caim of Bríde
Be the compassing of Bríde around me
Keeping me from ill and evil,
Keeping me from death and doom,
From malice and misfortune.
Be the fiery sword of Bríde
Defending me from all black swarms.
Be the shield of blessed Bríde
Protecting me from all sharp edges.
Be the cloak of gentle Bríde
Encircling me.
Be the compassing of Bríde around me,
Keeping me from hurt and harm,
Keeping me from wound and woe,
From darkness and despair.
Be the compassing of Bríde around me
This day and every day,
This night and every night.
Carmina Gadelica, Volume III, by Alexander Carmichael
