Product Details

There are two kinds of stories of salt, stone, and Brigid.
The first is that if anyone came to brigid with a longing for salt she would turn a stone before them from stone to salt.
The other is that once a man with a large sack of salt refused to grant Brigid a pinch. He said it was a sack of stones to deny her, and so it was. The man was crushed by the weight. Brigid asked again what it was he had in his sack. The man wised up and said it was salt, and so it was. Needless to say Brigid had salt in her dinner that night.

A Brat Bhríde is an Irish tradition of leaving a cloth, ribbon, shawl, scarf, or other similar item left out on the eve of Saint Brigid's day/ Imbolc then collected again before sunrise on the day. Birgid comes by in the night to bless the Brat Bhríde with healing and protection. These were all left out by me on the 1500th Saint Brigid's day since her death. You could use it to start the yearly tradition in your own home next year! Any little bits of moss or dirt are because I tied them to a tree in the rain.

These Brat Bhríde are 15 inches long by 0.75 inches wide. The perfect size for tying to a thin tree branch.

This design comes in two color options to pick from. Each order is for a single Brat Bhríde.

Hand woven with wool and wool blend yarn sourced from a repurposed art supply store
