Sounds more like American Wicca than any real Celtic tradition.....Bloodroot & Hogwart with a dash of rue etc. My Granny never did anything like that.
There is a deep connection between Wicca and Celtic. Many of the wiccan traditions came from ancient celtic pagan traditions.

If we celebrate our Celtic heritage, then we should understand the roots of our past fully. Celtic traditions are pagan. Many of those traditions were adopted by the Christian church and transformed into something the common people would understand and relate to. However, the core of Celtic pagan life revolved around nature and what was seen as their elements. A sprig of rue may seem like a bunch of nonsense to some, but then so would hanging a horseshoe over one's door.
