Bewitching ingredient!

Nothing beats the juicy sweetness of a ripe blackberry. This pretty fruit is also a magical treat. Associated with the planet Venus, and the Celtic goddess of healing, Brigid, it has many uses from protection and prosperity, to boosting positive vibes. Chew fresh from the bush and ask Mother Nature to bless you with abundance.
