  1. Old Prayers

    Share Share Post
    This is a prayer for people going on a journey. "In the name of God, without hurt or harm to anybody, may God and His blessed mother bring me back again." When people were working in olden times and they saw a fairy blast they would take a bit of clay and say "take this and don't take me"
