Blessing of the foundations of a new six floor apartment building in Chiang Mai Thailand by Brahmin priest. Buddhism exists side-by-side with, and to some extent intermingles with, pre-Buddhist animism and Brahman practices. Most Thais, whether or not they profess to be Buddhists, believe in a rich supernatural world. When ill, or at other times of crisis, or to seek supernatural help, Thais may enlist the aid of a practitioner who is believed to be able to propitiate or obtain help from various spirits. Local spirits are believed to inhabit a variety of objects, and shrines to them may be found in houses, businesses in Buddhist temples, along roads, and in forests. Blessing ceremonies to ward off evil spirits and bad luck are carried out both by Buddhist monks and Brahmins.

The final word of the October photo challenge was BLESSING. And what better equine blessing have I ever witnessed than the story of Guinevere, whose dam was one step away from the slaughter pipeline before she was purchased by the proprietor of Camelot Auction and foaled Guin at the auction? Guin is now six months old and spends her days at Helping Hearts Equine Rescue, romping with Indigo, her Friesian playmate.
