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.

We pick up a candle and buy it because we like to have them decorate the house and cosy it up on a dark night. We like maybe to have one on certain nights in the window as traditions have taught us over the years. But would you like to know the significance of colour or how to use aromatherapy blends to scent your candle to bring more joy, prosperity & grounding into your home? Look out for my next workshop as this one sold out in a few hours .roots.farm - looking forward to seeing you there x Bernie
