“Books on ritual and ceremony are far too rare as it is, but rarer still—and so of even greater value—is this unique collection of prayers, blessings, and ceremonies for animals, and for the humans who love and cherish them.

She gives us all the tools we need to create our own blessings for the animals. What a gift!”

Louise Hay, author of You Can Heal You Life and Empowering Women.
