From Amy/See the very interesting and beautifully written article below regarding the connection between Buddhism and St. Patrick.

[Red Pine (translator) :: Bill Porter (author)]

In Christian lore, Patrick became the deer when he first returned to Ireland. After lighting the paschal fire in defiance of the tribal chieftain, he sang his protection song, often called "The Deer's Cry," and became a deer, binding himself to all the powers of creation and culminating in Christ:

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ at my right, Christ at my left, Christ in the fort, Christ in the chariot-seat, Christ in the mighty stern.

The Buddha's great protection song, the Metta Sutta, has the same encircling power given in a similar context of spiritual conflict. A group of monks settled in a forest for a retreat and the spirits tried to drive them away. The Buddha's encouragement wasn't enough so he bestowed on them a paritta protection chant. They made relatives with the spirits, who accepted and even began to protect them.

Radiating kindness over the entire world: Spreading upwards to the skies, And downwards to the depths; Outwards and unbounded, Freed from hatred and ill-will. Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down

Catholics might see the Buddha as an "anonymous Christian," someone perfected by God's grace though never having learned of Jesus. Buddhist might see Patrick as a Bodhisattva, one that defers entry into Nirvana to pray for the happiness of all living beings.

I'll leave that debate to the side, for in them both I see the Deer: the essence of the spiritual journey and its connection to land, radiating compassion above, below, and all around.

Shoe Protection Spell

This season, but before it gets too hot, is a great time of year to go outdoors and get in some exercise, and that could mean you'll spend a lot of time on your feet. If you're a hiker, backpacker, jogger, or if you just try to get in a few laps around the neighborhood, do this spell on your shoes to protect you as you travel.

You'll need:

Your favorite pair of walking or running shoes

A black permanent marker

Flip over your shoes, and on the bottom of the left one, write the word SAFE. On the right, write SOUND.

Put the shoes on, and sit on the floor, knees bent into the side, so the souls touch each other. Say:

I may walk the world round, but I'll always come home safe and sound

I walk for miles both far and near, hale and hearty when I returned here

Shoes when you go out walking or running, and be sure to check the souls periodically to see if you need to refresh the words.

A chant for protection

A short chant for protection I’ve been using for a while now. I usually use this before leaving my house or leaving work. Has worked very well for me, so I figured I’d share it.

“Let me freely go by these streets and roads.

Unharmed and unscathed may I roam.

Until I find safety and comfort,

Upon me, protection shall be conferred.”

Remember to focus on your intent as you say the chant, or think of it, for it will, as with all spells, work best that way.

I hope it works for you very well. It has worked me out of quite a few situations, including one today.

Good luck, and blessings to you all.
