One such remedy addressed a swelling known as 'the Rose,' treated with a blend of carefully chosen herbs mixed with butter. The mixture was formed into small balls and applied to the afflicted area three times daily. Folklore held that if the sore emerged during a new moon, it would endure until the moon began to wane—highlighting the deep ties between healing and the rhythms of the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.rachelmerrigan.com\/\"\u003eRachel Merrigan\u003c\/a\u003e is an emerging Irish artist, focusing on printmaking techniques such as screenprinting and etching.  Her research-based practice explores the superstitious landscape of Ireland, focusing on ancient healing practices. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExploring the loss of knowledge around indigenous healing in favour of modern medicine, her work examines our connection to the ancient practices and landscape that provided the folklore for these stories.
