Dragon Mother – a blessing for stoves and fireplaces
Dragon Mother, spirit of fire, Bless our home with your presence. Taste the fruit of field and forest: I bring you a feast of oak and pine I bring you a feast of ash and thorn Apple and walnut, cherry and hedge. Bless our hearth with your warmth and light. Let your breath fill our home with sweetness Guard and watch us as we sleep, Your eyes a crimson promise. Dragon Mother, bless our hearth with fire.
