May your troubles be less and your blessings be more. The history of Irish blessings can be traced back to the early Celtic culture of Ireland, a culture rich in oral tradition and storytelling, and blessings and expressions of good wishes, kindness and positivity were a common part of daily life. These blessings were passed down from generation to generation, preserving the spiritual heritage of the Irish people.

Over time, they became an integral part of the Irish cultural identity, and they were brought to other parts of the world by Irish immigrants. Today, Irish blessings continue to be a popular part of the cultural heritage of Ireland and to those with Irish ancestors who travelled and settled overseas and are used in a wide range of contexts, from religious services and weddings to everyday greetings and expressions of good wishes. Filled with heart-warming words of hope and comfort, The Little Book of Irish Blessings is the perfect companion or gift for anyone seeking a touch of Irish magic in their life.

May you always have a rainbow of hope in your heart, and may the sun always shine on your face. May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night, and the road downhill all the way to your door.
