Blessings of Healing and Protecting Animals

These Wildlife Blessings are inspired by the Fellowship of Isis’ “Autumn: Litany of the Earth.” It spreads blessings to all animals through eight deities that relate directly to living animals and their dwelling places. In these blessings, we focus on the deities of animals relating to Ancient Egypt.

Blessings of Healing, Strengthening and Protecting Animals:

Allow the work of healing, strengthening and protection for the animals to be done, as well as carrying out the work of blessing for the animals that need healing and blessings from a distance.

A suggestion for a daily blessing on the animals in their care:
Make the sign of the Ankh with your hands on the animal and say: Blessed be you, in the name of the eight wildlife deities and in the name of Mother Earth, Aset (Isis). So be it, let it be so!61e260f1f467e42601fd4f812cb1b868
