Irish Blessings are more than just words spoken for good luck or good fortune. They are a part of everyday life. The culture behind is deeply rooted in the traditions and beliefs of its people. One of the most significant aspects of this heritage is the use of blessings, which are a reflection of the country’s rich history and its people’s faith, that continues to inspire and comfort people across the world.
„May You Be Blessed“, the Sage Gnomes‘ collection of Irish Blessings brings together a diverse range of sayings, each imbued with a unique perspective and voice. Some of the blessings reflect the deep spiritual faith of the Irish, while others are more lighthearted and humorous. But all of them offer a glimpse into the warmth, generosity, and resilience that are hallmarks of the Irish people.
The collection in this uniquely illustrated Ebook is a testament to the country’s remarkable traditions and values. The blessings presented come from a time when life was simple, and people relied on each other for support and guidance. They are a reminder of the beauty and importance of community, and the strength of the human spirit.
For some, love is just a word, for others the foundation of a happy life, and for still others a purely physical matter.
The famous German poet and thinker Johann Wolfgang von Goethe wrote over two hundred years ago, „Happy alone is the soul that loves.“
This cutely illustrated collection of quotes combines the views of well-known prudent people and Sage Gnomes of all times on the topic, to shed light on the magical phenomenon of love from all sides. No matter what you think about love, you most likely will discover aspects you haven’t seen before. And if love has been just a word for you so far, reading this book might give it the importance it deserves. Because, as the German philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach noted a long time ago: „Being nothing and loving nothing is identical.“
