Found growing in across the moorlands of Ireland and Scotland, Heather is said to be a flower/ herb of Brigid. Magically it is wonderful for spells relating to purification, protection and new beginnings – so its use is very appropriate to Imbolc. Ritual bathing was another important custom at Imbolc and so a heather bath would be lovely! Plus herbalists consider this a cleansing and detoxifying plant that can help with aching bones and joints! Just gather a large bundle of heather, place in a large pot and cover with boiling water, let simmer for a few hours, then strain it into the bath.
