Saint Francis of Assisi's Protection Doll and Blessing for Animals
Picture
St. Francis of Assisi
Just a few days ago when gardening, my son uncovered a statue of St. Francis that had been buried in the front yard; unusual, since it is typically St. Joseph that is buried when the owner of a home wishes to sell or rent. In any event, that is what prompted me to share this spell with you. That, and because my most popular doll sold for years now has been my Black Cat Charm Doll.

St. Francis of Assissi Protection Doll for Pets
The relationship between humans and their pets is like no other because communication is at its most basic. The unconditional love and undying loyalty are virtues few people can achieve; yet, they are second nature to many animals.

In the Roman Catholic tradition, people will take their pets to church with them for a special blessing. At Franciscan churches, a friar with brown robe and white cord often welcomes each animal with a special prayer. There may be occasions when you want to bless your animal companions or provide them with extra protection. When this is the case, make the following animal poppet and perform the St. Francis of Assisi blessing to keep them safe and blessed.

Make a poppet in the likeness of your pet. For example, if you have a dog, make a dog poppet, if you have a cat, make a cat poppet, if you have a bird, make a bird poppet, and so on. Stuff the poppet with a blend of the following herbs: mugwort, sage, cedar, Dragon’s Blood, and lavender. Add some of your pet’s hair, feathers, nails, scales, etc. and a piece of paper bearing their name to the doll and stitch it closed. Place the poppet on your altar and say the following prayer in remembrance of St. Francis of Assisi’s love for all creatures.

Franciscan Blessing for All Animals
Blessed are you, Lord God,
maker of all living creatures.
On the fifth and sixth days of creation,
you called forth fish in the sea,
birds in the air and animals on the land.
You inspired St. Francis to call all animals
his brothers and sisters.
We ask you to bless this animal.
By the power of your love,
enable it to live according to your plan.
May we always praise you
for all your beauty in creation.
Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures! Amen.


Franciscan Blessing for a Sick Animal
Heavenly Father,
you created all things for your glory
and made us stewards of this creature.
If it is your will, restore it to health and strength.
Blessed are you, Lord God,
and holy is your name for ever and ever. Amen.

As the prayer is offered, the poppet is gently sprinkled with holy water. When you are done, keep the doll in a safe place in your home.
