Our Natural Fragrance Rollers Are Different
We started handcrafting our fragrance rollers after many of our customers asked us to make our house-blended fragrances available as natural perfume which they could wear every day. Made with a base of 100% pure natural plant extracts, our fragrance rollers can be used for aromatherapy, pulse point therapy, or just plain smelling amazing.
What Is Lughnasadh?
Lughnasadh, celebrated on August 1st, marks the beginning of the harvest season and is named for the Celtic deity Lugh, a revered warrior-king of the Tuatha Dé Danann, the mythic gods of Ireland. Lugh was known for his mastery of many arts and skills, making him a symbol of excellence, leadership, versatility, and abundance. In his honor, Celtic communities gathered at this time of year to give thanks for the grain, fruits, and vegetables ripening in the fields after their long months of labor.
The festival of Lughnasadh was more than a spiritual observance; it was a time of gathering and joy, where communities held games, athletic competitions, and feats of strength. People would strike deals, renew friendships, arrange marriages, and celebrate the fullness of life in all its forms. This seasonal turning point offered a communal pause to acknowledge Nature's generosity, strengthen social bonds, and honor the ancestors.
Later, in the medieval Era, Lughnasadh’s themes of harvest and gratitude were absorbed into Lammas, meaning “loaf mass,” where the first loaves baked from the year’s grain were blessed in churches.
So, how to celebrate Lughnasadh and Lammas today? You can practice some traditional ways by baking bread, long seen as a symbol of sustenance. Set aside time for reflection or altar offerings to honor Nature, your personal growth, or perhaps Lugh or your ancestors, often overlooked in modern society.
The Brigid Difference
At Brigid, we take living naturally seriously. For thousands of years, our ancestors cured and nourished themselves with natural plant extracts and raw materials from the world around them, not industrial chemicals and buzzy additives. We embrace this way of living, and want to make it easier for you as well. That's why we craft everything we sell in small batches ourselves, using ingredients free of parabens, plastics, and pthalates.
