Gentle tea of rose, lavender & calendula promoting self & unconditional love as well as good communication & boundaries. The Dragon is also on the table as sometimes in Love we need to be brave in battle to let go but sometimes but also to express loudly how we feel.

Lastly these beautiful Rose oracle cards blessed with sacred frankincense to make all our love sacred and help us change the mundane … 😘🥰

Here’s a tradition that is done right around the country on St. Brigid’s Eve - leaving out something for St. Brigid to bless.

I know some people leave out a white cloth, more a red one and more a blue one. Some people call it a “Bratach” and many more don’t. No right or wrong - just different practices.

Over the years, I’ve found the scarf to be the most popular item and I found examples of it being used from Donegal to Wexford and Offaly to Tipperary.

The general thinking is that Brigid blesses the scarf as she is passing with the belief that this blessed scarf added an extra layer of protection for your throat against colds in coming months. In the past red flannel was also used with the idea it’d protected the chest. There is a lot of crossover with St Blaises day too in this practice which is centered around the blessing of the throat.,

Coats and jumpers are/were also left out - again with the same belief of protection against colds - especially for children. People also believed this they work for headaches too and I know a woman from Waterford who leaves out one of her husbands ties and she uses it during the year to tie on her head when she gets headaches. She told me she “looks like the Karate kid going around the kitchen” but she doesn’t care less as it does the job and “Brigid blest it”.

So there you have it, a tradition done by some, and all different. By the way the tradition was brought over to Newfoundland by us and I’ll share a few accounts of it in the coming days.

Where it all began

When my son was born in 2002 I decided to look at ways to use the most gentle of product & medicine. I was introduced to Gina McGarry, Herbalist & Author who lived nearby in Mullingar. I soon became fascinated with the world of Herbs and started training with Gina soon after. I now have my own Herbal practice & teaching faculty as well as recently becoming a Course Facilitator at Ginas’ Academy where I start teaching in March 2020 with Earths Healer Foundation. Brighids Academy of Healing Arts is based just outside Mullingar and I welcome you to contact me there or here @ Sweet Rose Remedies

I have a special interest in Herbs for Children & most recently I am working on a range of skincare which is natural & created with thought & love. I carry stock at my husbands clinic in Mullingar, Alan Kanes Clinic, from earache oil to muscle balm to head lice treatments. My age old recipe for Coughs & Colds is popular so pop by soon and meet us.
