25g Blackberry Leaf (Rubus fructicosus)

Blackberry is also known as Bly, Bramble, Bramberry, Brambleberry, Bramble-Kite,  Brombeere, Bumble-Kite, Brummel, Cloudberry, Dewberry, Fingerberry, Goutberry, Scaldhead,  Thimbleberry,

The flowers and fruit have long been invested with magical powers and Blackberry was believed to confer protection from "evil runes" and was used to cure snakebites. Merely sitting under a Blackberry bush was considered sufficient to cure rheumatism and boils

Blackberry was considered to be sacred to the Celtic & Pagan deities of Europe, and was widely used in rituals of worship.

A bramble bush that forms a natural arch is said to be a great aid to magical healing.

On a sunny day, crawl through the arch backwards and then forward three times, going as nearly east to west as possible. This will apparently cause boils, rheumatism, whooping cough and even blackheads to disappear.

The blackberry leaves are used in spells of wealth, as are the berries themselves, and the vines are protective if grown.
