dianaandpansson:goddess29:dianaandpansson:CloutiesBritish strips of cloth tied to trees near holy wells or sacred places. These cloths would be tied around a body part suffering from an ailment as the person walked to the sacred land. With the assistance of a charmer, the cloth would be tied to the tree and as it decayed, so would the ailment with it. Clearly, the cloth must be made of biodegradable material.
