Traditionally, the brat bhríde, or Brigid’s Cloak, was laid outside before sunset on the eve of Brigid’s Feastday, 1st February, and brought back in before sunrise. Blessed by Brigid, ancient Spring goddess and saint, the dew which fell that night imbued the cloth with powers of healing and protection which lasted throughout the year.
It would then be kept in a special place in the house and brought out as needed when illness occurred. It could be wrapped around the head to cure a headache; it was widely used by midwives to help women in childbirth, for Brigid was especially known as being the patron of healers and midwives. It was used on sick animals also, especially cows and sheep for which Brigid had a special affinity.

Considering I'm up at 5am to feed the cats breakfast(I go back to bed after)that's not a problem.
For it to work though you have to bring it back in before sunrise the next day though :)

Loved this x
Almost everything on Imbolc is pretty easy. A lot of crafts. I think it should last three or four days.
Now this is something that is easy to do. I want to try it. I like the simple things, the best.
