Forge fire Brat Bhríde

Product Details

Brigid both the goddess and the saint are associated with many higher arts and vocations. Among those is smithing. Any kind of smithing, be it intricate or simple, comes from her fire beautiful. She was a metal worker and a poet. This design is inspired by the glowing hot orange of her forge.

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 o.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
