Mar a tha fios againn, tha mòran chreutairean draoidheil agus iongantach a' fuireach ann an glinn agus mòintichean na dùthcha againn. Tha e an-còmhnaidh math urnaigh a bhith agad air eagal ‘s gum bi thu feumach air.
This is a prayer for protection we found in the collection of folklore - Ortha nan Gàidheal/Carmina Gadelica, collected by Alexander Carmichael in the 1800's.

Beannaich, a Thriath nam flath fial
Mi fèin 's gach sìon a ta na m' chòir Beannaich mi nam uile ghnìomh Dèan mi tèarainte ri m' bheò Dèan mi tèarainte ri m' bheò Bho gach gruagach is ban-sìth Bho gach mì-rùn agus bròn Bho gach glaistig is ban-nìgh Gach luch-sìth agus luch-feòir Gach luch-sìth agus luch-feòir Bho gach fuath bhiodh feadh nam beann Bho gach greann bhiodh teann d' am thoir Bho gach uruisg measg nan gleann Teasraig mi gu ceann mo lò Teasraig mi gu ceann mo lò |
Bless, O Chief of generous chiefs
Myself and everything anear me Bless me in all my actions Make thou me safe forever From every brownie and banshee From every evil wish and sorrow From every nymph and water-wraith From every fairy-mouse and grass-mouse From every troll among the hills From every siren hard pressing me From every ghoul within the glens Oh, save me till the end of my day |
