Oat Tops
(Avena sativa)
Product description
Oat Tops—the tender, flowering tops of the common oat—are the herb of gentle healing, protection, and emotional resilience. Their soft, feathery panicles carry a calming, nurturing energy: scatter dried tops around your altar to soothe frayed nerves, steep them in a restorative ritual bath to restore balance and ease stress, or layer them beneath protective candles to amplify comforting intentions and strengthen your spirit.
Folklore Story
In Celtic tradition, farmers would weave garlands of oats at harvest’s end to honor the spirit of Plenty and ensure the coming year’s safety. One tale tells of a village struck by famine whose children fell ill: elders brewed oat tops into a healing decoction and waved the steam through each home—by dawn, vitality had returned, and oats were forever hailed as “Heart’s Hearth,” a gentle guardian of well-being.
