I will email a cyber gift certificate of $20.00 {CDN/US} value to the winner which can be used either purchase from my
Etsy store or to purchase
services on my website. {$20.00 CDN/US value}
Brigid's Cross
I purchased this
Brigid's Cross from a crafter in Ireland. It is approximately 6 inches and is made with reeds. One side has been glazed for protection {by the maker} and the side that is pictured is natural. Hang in your home for protection or place on your shrine/altar dedicated to Brigid {the Goddess or Saint}. {$15.00 CDN/US value}
Dried Juniper Tips
This
common juniper{Juniperus communis} was wildcrafted by myself. I am including in this giveaway, as it was traditionally used for blessings and purification {
saining} in some Gaelic speaking places. It could be added to
water for blessing or burnt as an incense during you Imbolc purification and blessing rituals. The winner will receive a half ounce in a re-sealable baggie. {$4.00 CDN/US value}
Three Sacred Fires Incense
My
Three Sacred Fires incense, is a blend that I made to be burnt as a devotional offering to Brigid. It contains various ingredients such as heather flowers, motherwort, lady's mantle, rowan berries and cedarwood {partial ingredient list}. The winner will receive a half ounce in a re-sealable baggie.{$4.75 CDN/US value}
Beeswax Home Blessing Candles
These are candles that I make for home blessing for both personal and client use. They were hand-dipped by myself using premium local beeswax and contain rowan protection oil {unscented}, nettle leaves, meadowsweet, lemon balm, hawthorn leaves, and elder flowers {all the plant materials were grown or harvested by me}. The winner will receive a pair of these rustic pretties. {$7.00 CDN/US value}
Hand-Dyed Linen
I
hand-dyed this linen a while back for magical purposes, using various plant materials and is suitable for pretty much any type of working. I am including it in this giveaway as I thought that it would make a great
brat Bríde, but could also be used for other things such as poppets or charm bags. The winner will receive a square that is approximately 9 inches. {$1.50 CDN/US value}
Rowan Wood & Red Thread
The wee rowan twigs were wildcrafted by myself and the thread was left out to be blessed
last Imbolc. I am including them in the giveaway so the winner can make their own
rowan cross, which could be hung over the doorway for protection and blessings {the Tairis website has a ritual outline
here.}.
