Product Details

Ireland has over 3,000 holy wells and Brigid herself is the patron to many. Though she is generally associated with fire and flames her holy wells are a place of pilgrimage and healing. Many people visit to seek cures to ailments or to leave tokens including ribbons like this one!!

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.

This Brat Bhríde is 15 inches long by just over 0.75 inches wide. The perfect size for tying to a thin tree branch.

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