    Blessing, new or old?

    I normally don't post anything in this section as I tend to get my tail feathers shot off. But this popped into my head late last night and I would appreciate your knowledge and input on this blessing.

    May your life be filled with the enthusiasm and wonder of a maiden.
    The patience and love of a mother.
    And the knowledge and wisdom of a crone.

    I don't know if I came across this somewhere in my readings or if it is something new. If you've seen this somewhere or something like it please let me know what it is from so I can look it up and read about it's origin.
    Thank you all for any help and input with this in advance.

    Also if this is not the correct place for this feel free to move it to the right one.

    I've never seen it before, but it's beautiful, Monk.

      Seems like a sensible request to me, hope your tail feathers remain intact!

      Sorry I can't help at the moment with its origins but I love it, can I use it? I'll try to find out where it comes from and if I find it I'll let you know.
      It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.

        I can see no reason why it couldn't be used, so please feel free to do so.

              Thanks and sure.

              It's kind of....I don't know unusual the way this came about. I had emailed someone and in their replay they ended with a short blessing of "Goddess bless". I felt kind of small because I didn't have one for them in my reply. Them within minuets this blessing came into head and for once I had the forethought to write it down then and there.

                It reminds me a lot of the shortened phrase which goes:

                Dance like the Maiden, laugh like the Mother and think like the Crone.

                Could very well be someone who's altered it into a blessing, and a lovely one at that.

                  I don't recall seeing this before, but it is possible as I've read many books in the last forty years. Do you happen to know a book that might contain more information about it?

                    Unfortunately, I don't. After some googling around, I've found a few pages that quote Amythyst Raine for this saying, but most times it doesn't state a source at all. I'll definitely keep an eye out for it; sorry I couldn't be of more help!
