An Irish Blessing for Hallowe'en:

"At all Hallows Tide, may God keep you safe from goblin and pooka and black-hearted stranger; From harm of the water and hurt of the fire; From thorns of the bramble, from all other danger; From Will O' The Wisp haunting the mire; From stumbles and tumbles and tricksters to vex you; May God in His mercy, this week protect you."
