Since the birch is the tree of life and rebirth, its branches are used to decorate houses and clothes on Bonfire Night. Brooms made from birch branches are used in purification rituals.

ASPEN.

Aspen is a witchcraft tree. Possessing witchcraft power, the wood of this tree blocks the power of a human sorcerer (but is powerless against the Magician). The lower crowns were made from aspen and the roofs of the bathhouses were made, since in the bathhouse a person is cleansed and most peoples give birth in the bathhouse, too, in order to avoid slander and damage. Experienced witches know how to use (modulate) the tree’s own power, creating incantations and spells on aspen branches. Aspen wood is used to make caskets for storing witchcraft and magical tools - wood blocks both the power of the tool and any attempt to “reach” it from the outside, better than silk. This way you can hide something valuable from those who see it. Another aspen is the “language” of the Forest.

The Greeks left us a legacy of the legend about the golden apples of the Hesperides, the Scandinavians - about the goddess Idunn and the apples of immortality, the Celtic epic tells of the blissful Island of Apples Avalon, among the Slavs - these are fabulous “rejuvenating apples”. The apple tree is one of the first cultivated trees and therefore in esoteric teaching is associated with conscious choice.

PINE.

Pine loves people and wishes them well. In addition, this tree very subtly senses the accumulating evil and uses all its considerable strength to dispel it. This is why pines have great difficulty surviving in cities - there is too much bad energy there, and this tree always “takes the fire upon itself.” If you have a choice, always choose pine. Pine boards and pine furniture will always be well protected from evil forces. And pine branches with cones should decorate any home, especially in winter, when the weakened sun does not have time to drive away the creatures of darkness from the human home. Pine especially patronizes Leos.

ROWAN.

Rowan is astrologically connected to Uranus, with which the power of lightning is also associated. It is believed that rowan trees are not afraid of lightning, and therefore, all settlements, as well as temples, were planted with these trees as protection. The spirit of the mountain ash represents the keeper of secret truths - secrets associated with the immortality and personal freedom of the gods. In Celtic mythology, the rowan was considered a magical tree, and its bright red berries were considered the “food of the gods”, guarded by a green dragon. Rowan berries are widely used as an amulet that protects against evil spirits and witchcraft. Rowan wood is used for Brigid's sacred fire. In the same way, talismans can be made from rowan wood to protect against temptations on the path of spiritual development.

Protective runes were usually carved into rowan wood, since rowan was known for its ability to protect against witchcraft.

SPRUCE.

The sacred tree of the Hunter in its dark, aggressive aspect of the God of Death, a guide to the kingdom of Death. The Hut on Chicken Legs - Yaga's abode, is built of spruce logs and stands in a dense spruce forest, which perfectly describes the properties of this tree. Wood goblins live in the spruce forest. Many peoples associate spruce with death - funeral pyres were made from spruce trunks, coffins were made from spruce boards (but one out of five boards must be maple). At the same time, the spruce symbolizes the sacred meaning of Death, as liberation, purification, a sacrament opposite to birth in the Wheel of Life. Spruce (branches) are used as protection from the Hunter’s anger or evil jokes, i.e. houses - from bad weather and hurricanes, crops - from hail. But you cannot use trunks in construction - the Hunter will get angry and strike the building with lightning. In the same way, you cannot use spruce to fire a stove. But a forest fire made of dead spruce will ensure the Hunter’s mercy. It is best to spend the night in the forest under a spruce tree, because... it will protect against the night games of spirits. But in a thunderstorm it’s better not to hide under a spruce tree. The braid of the braid is made from a spruce trunk - perhaps this connected the braid with Death in the Western tradition. In healing, spruce is used to treat diseases under the Hunter's control.

With a willow twig, Cerridwen stirs the drink of transformations in her magic cauldron. In everyday witchcraft practices, willow is almost never used, because its power is difficult to modulate - the powerful potential of transformation is subject to the World Law, and very often, instead of “what you want,” what you get is “what should be.” Sacrificial cages were woven from willow vines because... the willow contributed to the immediate and “correct” revival of the spirit of the victim.

OAK.

Oak is a tree traditionally associated with the thunder gods, Zeus, Jupiter, Dagda, etc. However, this connection arose relatively late in the history of mankind, when these gods took a dominant position in the pantheons, because very often the oak was the tree growing at ancient altars. The sacred property of the oak is almost forgotten and can only be traced by examining the name of this tree in different languages. The energy of the oak (living tree) creates vortexes that connect the worlds. Therefore, the so-called “Gates” or “Portals” are most often located in oak groves, or where these groves once were. And therefore the oak is the tree of wisdom and Strength, because in its vicinity it is possible to directly communicate with inhabitants of other worlds and Gods.

They draw strength from every element: the earth, where the secrets of the universe are hidden in the primordial layers, water, which permeates the earth and gives life, sun rays, giving energy, and air, bringing freedom and renewal. Tree energy is a field of knowledge well known to our ancestors. The priests of ancient peoples knew how to use this power carefully and with respect.

How to charge from trees

In order to find “your” tree for recharging, you need to look for it. Sooner or later, one of them in a forest or park will attract attention, “call”, so to speak. Close contact will make it possible to understand whether the tree wants to communicate with you. Trees also have a soul, although not the same as that of people and animals. But if a resonance is created when communicating with a tree, it means you have found your green friend.

Before you start charging from the tree, you need to say hello to it. Then you should get to know each other a little and talk. Look carefully at the tree, how majestic and powerful it is, what a strong trunk, marvel at the beauty of the branches and crown of the tree, touch it. Get ready to merge together. Now is the time to tell about your problem or request and ask for help and strength - to recharge with the energy of the tree. Close your eyes, imagine how the energy sap runs through the tree, filling and cleansing you. Stay in this state for as long as you need.

At the end, be sure to thank the tree for its help!

One of the most beautiful trees on the planet. The white graceful trunk creates a feeling of extraordinary gentle light emanating from this tree. Despite the fact that it grows in both Scandinavia and Europe, the white-trunked birch has long been a symbol of Russia. For us, who live here, it is a symbol of the homeland, its protective, feminine principle. Birch belongs to the zodiac sign of Cancer. She transmits for us his strength and the moving, unsteady energy of the Moon. Its energy is cold and refreshing, like clean water, and just like water after bathing, it plunges us into sleep, lifting people to the heights of heaven. It gives a person the support of his family.

In the old days they said: “Birch is a capricious and capricious tree. It doesn’t welcome every person, it doesn’t help everyone. But if it loves someone, that person should be happy and successful in everything.”

Knowing the “capriciousness” of the tree, they tried not to plant a birch tree near the house, especially since, according to folk beliefs, elemental spirits and shadows of the dead often hide in its foliage. Therefore, they placed a birch tree at the gate so that trouble would not enter the yard, and they placed a bench next to it so that at the right time they could “talk” to the tree, ask it for strength and help.

According to popular belief, birch is especially favorable to children, innocent girls and pregnant women.

For children, swings were placed near the birch trees, girls decorated birch trees with their ribbons taken from the braid, on the holiday of Lada and Lelya, on Ivan Kupala, in order to get married successfully. Before giving birth, pregnant women asked the birch tree for strength and help so that the birth would be easy and successful, and the child would grow up healthy and happy.

It has long been believed that in May birch has the greatest healing power. Therefore, from May 1 to May 12, its juice was collected and given to sick, sick and weak people to drink so that they would quickly recover and gain strength. To prevent the tree from becoming weak, no more than 1 liter of sap was collected from each birch, the wound was carefully covered, and the tree was thanked for its help. This tree was not touched again for a year, just as no branches were cut from the donor tree for a year. It was believed that if a birch tree is asked for help too often, it may become offended and take revenge on the person who offended her, sending him “trouble” and failure in his personal life. Usually, to collect birch sap, trees growing in the forest aged from 7 to 50 years were used, since it was believed that in addition to health, birch can give a person youth, and for this the tree itself should not be too old. In May, half-bloomed Birch buds for medicinal purposes.

The weeping birch was considered a special tree - it was sometimes called the “navy tree,” that is, the tree of the dead. Its juice, buds, bark, wood and leaves have never been used for medicinal purposes - only for magical ones. They said that this tree has a connection with the world of the dead, that mermaids and drowned women love it. Therefore, the weeping birch was always decorated with mermaid for a week to protect against the mischief of spirits. They tried not to break this tree so as not to incur anger otherworldly forces. In the old days, people went to him, trying to enlist the help of their ancestors in some important matter or ask for protection from harm.

In general, there has always been a special attitude towards birch in Russia. They took care of it, looked after it, specially planted it, trying to “ring” the village with a protective belt of birch trees. Jewelry made from birch wood was used to protect against evil spirits. Long before the advent of Christianity, during the time corresponding to the present Trinity, brooms made from freshly cut branches of this tree were used to “sweep out” evil spirits from the hut. On this day, the whole hut was washed with a decoction of twigs from diseases and misfortunes. On the same day, women washed themselves in a bathhouse with an infusion of birch leaves in order to relieve themselves of allergic diseases and restore lost strength and good spirits.

Birch is a tree that stays awake all day. She falls asleep just before dawn. As the first roosters crow, having dispersed the evil spirits with their voice, the birch tree plunges into a sweet and deep sleep for 2 hours, so that, waking up at dawn, it can give the world its pure strength. Her sleep period occurs at approximately 3-5 am, and her peak alertness is at 6-9 am.

It is clear that the energy of birch is closer to a woman. Maiden round dances around birch trees made it possible to “unwind” the energy of the tree so that it would give its strength and protection to the area where it grows. This natural connection between a woman and a birch tree is reflected in epithets, proverbs and sayings. “Slim as a birch tree,” “beautiful as a birch tree,” they said about herself beautiful woman in a village filled with strength and health, inseparable from true beauty, in contrast to the perverted beauty of our century, which can only be achieved through violence against one’s own body and health.

Oak is a clear night owl. He wakes up in the morning, slowly, by noon he unfurls leaves and branches to recharge himself with energy, and clearly does not want to part with it. Having had lunch and breakfast at the same time, he falls asleep, probably remembering that “after a hearty lunch you are supposed to sleep.” And sleeps from about 15 to 17 hours. In the evening, having had enough and rest, he begins to become interested in the world around him. Oak willingly communicates with those who listen to him from 18 o'clock, fueling the energy of creativity and giving inspiration to those around him. But a real surge of strength comes to him after nine in the evening, when he willingly heals and helps people change their fate. Having generously distributed his strength to the world, after 3 am he falls asleep soundly, only to wake up again around noon.

Oak is one of the most energetically powerful trees in central Russia. Oak in Rus' has always been considered a holy tree, a tree associated with masculine energy and power. No wonder the man was compared to an oak tree.

We have a huge number of traditions and legends associated with this tree, from the parable of the death of Koshcheeva, kept in a casket on the treasured oak tree, to the legend about the horses of the king of the underworld, hidden under the roots of a three-trunked oak tree.

Indeed, oak is a very complex tree. It conducts the energy of the planet Jupiter into our world and is directly related to the zodiac sign of Sagittarius. These energies determine world processes, the destinies of people and nations, and allow people who have fully mastered them to control their own destinies and the destinies of others. Therefore, oaks are considered sacred trees not only in Russia, but also in all countries where they grow.

Temples and sanctuaries always stood in oak groves, and people were treated there. The energy of this tree has the power to “raise the dead,” as our ancestors said. Oak is a conductor tree that connects a person with the world and the Universe. Therefore, if a person managed to establish contact with him, the tree can give him such powers that will not only prolong his life, but also have a beneficial effect on the fate of his children and grandchildren - sometimes up to the fifth generation.

Remember the somewhat rude expression about the dead, so common among us: “He gave oak.” Do you know where it came from? From an old legend that the souls of the dead climb upward along the trunk of an oak tree, like a heavenly staircase, to the bright kingdom of the immortals.

In Rus' there have always been many magical practices that made it possible, using the energy of this tree, to turn to the dead for help and gain additional strength and good luck.

But even without using any special magical or extrasensory methods, anyone can receive a piece of its strength and health from an oak tree.

For this:

• you need to walk more often in oak groves;
• if possible, use objects made of oak in your everyday life (especially great power is transmitted to a person through oak floors or
• through the walls of a house built of oak logs);
• You should never break or chop oak for fun.

Oak is one of the few trees capable of transmitting information over vast distances. And if you cripple an oak tree in Moscow and decide to feed on the power of a tree growing, for example, in Novgorod, you will not get anything good. For he already knows about what happened and looks at you as a barbarian who must be punished for his outrage.

Unlike most trees, which are closely related to other trees in the area where they grow, oaks are single growers. They have energetic connections only with trees of their own species, regardless of the distance between them. This allows them, like pine, to grow calmly in solitude, without losing any of their strength.

Oak is a strong and powerful tree. Loves ambitious and energetic people. Can't stand people who whine all the time. His masculine energy is strong and tough, domineering and hot. It is not very suitable for women, since with constant communication it can give them fullness and excessive self-sufficiency, which will interfere with meetings with the opposite sex. It is useful for women born under the sign of Sagittarius to stand under an oak tree at least once a year - before their birthday or on this day itself - and mentally communicate with it, discussing their life plans. Such a meeting can help you quickly realize what you want in life.

Oak loves men more than women. It helps those born or living in an oak grove to find happiness in work, achieve fame and public recognition, provided that the person does not change his place of residence. Oak increases a person's strength and energy. Contributes to the growth of his authority, provides protection during magical and religious ceremonies, helps to understand the deep meaning of current events, develops the innate ability for synthesis, and often fuels inspiration in creative individuals.

An ordinary oak board, processed on Thursday at sunrise, on which the motto is carved: “God bless you!”, nailed to the home altar, can protect the family from many troubles.

Oak stabilizes the energies of the human body, opens and cleanses the subtle bodies and upper chakras, fills us with powerful and even fiery force. These properties are used in medicine.

IN practical magic more use is made of its ability to open a path to space for man and information from near-Earth space. Therefore, in Rus', where there is little sun and a strong lack of energy, they loved to use oak wood for buildings, thus compensating for the lack of warm fiery energy for the human body. Moreover, bog oak has always been the most popular. Bog oak wood is slightly reddish, not greyish; like natural oak. This enhances the warmth of the wood and slightly lifts the mood. Ordinary oak undoubtedly calms the nervous system and fills the body with strength, but it does not contribute to fun. In a completely oak, unpainted house you feel like you are in a church - pleasant, good, light in your soul, but the stormy fun seems somehow indecent.

Usually in the old days the walls of a wooden house were made of oak, and the floors and flooring were oak. This arrangement of wood contributed to the best protection of humans from the influences negative energy from the outside and made it possible to restore lost strength in the shortest possible time, since oak easily transfers its energy to a person through direct contact, and its strength allows us to balance the work of our entire body. No wonder people said: “Strong as an oak!”

And in a modern city house it would not be out of place to have oak floors and oak chairs, which would allow you to quickly restore the energy spent during the day!

It was a pleasure to plant oak trees in Rus' near the house - they helped to maintain health and strength for many years.

Oak wood is little susceptible to rotting, as it stores huge reserves of light energy, which it gives off for centuries. Buildings and furniture made of oak can warm the soul and raise the strength and health of more than one generation.

If you want to have this living tree as a constant companion in your life, use bonsai! Of course, oak is a very demanding tree and it is very difficult to grow and care for it.

It is better to place the bonsai oak in a study or in a place for meditation, near the altar - there its energy will bring maximum benefit!

Oak takes a long time to get used to people. Sometimes six months or a year pass before he really begins to consider you his. But if he accepts you into his heart, he will not let you go and will never forget you! A piece of its power will be with you wherever you are, because we have already said that oak has the ability to transmit its energy over vast distances. If he has accepted you, his leaves will imperceptibly reach out to you when you come, and his young branches will cling to your clothes, not wanting to let you go. If a double acorn falls into your hand from your favorite tree, save it! In itself, it is a talisman of good luck in business, but in in this case its power will be greater, since it is supported by the wishes of the oak itself. A simple fallen acorn speaks of changes awaiting you in your career, which may be somewhat unexpected and confusing, but which will always lead to the better. A fallen dry branch speaks of this. that it's time for you to change jobs. A fallen dry leaf means unpleasant news awaits you. Fallen green leaf- interesting business conversations and news. A fallen green branch with green foliage - moving and perhaps business trips.

Tree of female magic. The willow's power is great and at times quite brutal. Since ancient times, it has been associated with the Moon, fertility, all the dark rituals performed by women dedicated to Earth and Water; many pagan mysteries are strongly associated with willow. The power that the willow gives cannot be called good - the problems of good and evil are completely indifferent to this tree. His power serves only nature, the only law that has power over the willow is the law of balance and justice. She feels that in nature, evil can turn out to be good, and the concepts of lies or meanness simply do not exist.

Willow does not understand the intricacies of human ethics, but very well perceives all the emotions that are generated by love, jealousy, blind maternal affection, and the desire for revenge. All impulses energetically related to the red color of the aura will find response and support in the willow tree. Despite its thoughtful appearance and melancholic graceful silhouette, willow is a tree of strong passions.

Willow is especially willing to welcome man-haters. As originally a female tree, she gives them amazing strength. Drawing strength from the aura of this tree, a woman is able to bewitch, turn away, damage the offender, and ruin his entire fate. There is no need to blame the willow for this, it only perceives the emotions of an offended woman, the tree itself does not harm anyone, its powers can only be used.

Don’t try to ask the willow for happiness for your loved one, don’t ask family happiness. She can only help you attract the attention of your chosen one and bewitch him. Only you yourself can then arrange your own destiny, without the participation of willow.

As is usually the case, willow doesn't give you anything for free. As always, when we get something, we have to pay something. And if you come to willow for help, be prepared to pay. How? It depends on your luck, but just don’t try to deceive or bargain. Willow is an extremely sensitive and touchy tree; it may not want to communicate with you further.

Wreaths woven from thin willow twigs, which are left on the road along which the chosen one must pass, are known as a common love spell. A decoction of the leaves for a love spell is mixed into a drink. Although this is hardly practical - it tastes very bitter. A willow twig was sewn into the seam of clothing to hold a man. Another common way to keep a husband in the family is to braid the legs of the marital bed with thin willow branches. They weave necklaces and bracelets from willow bark, throw them into the river on the night of Ivan Kupala, and ask for a groom.

The power of this tree goes back to ancient times, to the ancient cults of the Great Mother Earth; in later times, she was also worshiped as the spirit of water; women’s illnesses and longing for love were treated with the ash of burnt wood.

Let us immediately make a reservation that we are talking about the so-called horse chestnut, which grows in our middle lane. The southern chestnut, with its tasty nuts, is not as energetically beneficial.

Direct contact with a chestnut tree is like a fast-flowing river. The pure and strong flow of energy that “flows” through the chestnut will easily wash away ailments, but you will not be able to recharge from the chestnut with energy. This tree is quite busy with itself. Of all the trees growing in the middle zone, the chestnut is the sunniest tree, directed towards the sky and warmth.

The main benefit of this tree is not even in itself. The fruits ripening on it are what should interest you. Chestnuts, peeled from their prickly green shells, have an unusually strong absorbent effect. They best help women with breast diseases. For prevention, it is recommended to constantly put a chestnut or two in your pockets; even last year's or even older ones will do - as long as their shell is not wrinkled and dry. Usually one such nut is “enough” for two to three years.

In addition, we know of numerous evidence of the good effects of chestnuts for mastopathy, mastitis, and milk stagnation during breastfeeding. They use chestnuts simply - putting them in a bra, or gently massaging painful lumps by rolling the chestnut over the skin. Just avoid rough pressure; movements should be very gentle. Attention! We do not have any reliable evidence of the healing effect of chestnuts against breast cancer.

The medicinal properties of chestnut are also used in the treatment of stagnation of venous blood, this is the basis for the action of numerous medicines, especially against varicose veins and against hemorrhoids.

Energetically, the chestnut is an egoist; you cannot get support from it. Unless you need a certain amount of healthy egoism, which is so necessary to stop the attacks of painful soul-searching and dissatisfaction with yourself. In addition, chestnut is a big fan of surprises. And communicating with him, even if you don’t expect to receive anything, can bring you good luck, some pleasant incident, a lucky coincidence in life.

Chat with a chestnut tree if you have finally decided to take care of yourself and pay attention to your health - it will help you put aside worries about others for a while. After all, if you completely push yourself, it won’t make it any easier for those around you; taking care of yourself is not an empty whim. Even if you are a convinced altruist and are ready to sacrifice your life for the good of others, if you are healthy and in a good mood, you will bring significantly more benefit to those around you.

Another calming tree. Tree of enlightenment of reason.

If fears, doubts, and causeless anxiety stubbornly haunt you, contact with larch will bring you great relief. Its main effect is to help you understand the true nature of human actions. Especially people close to you.

Having come into direct contact with the larch for a little more than three minutes, then simply rest a little under its crown. Imagine well a person whose actions and thoughts you do not understand. Perhaps it will be a husband who has suddenly become inattentive and preoccupied and does not notice you. And you look into his soul with the help of larch - maybe the culprit is some kind of trouble that he doesn’t tell you about? Perhaps there is no other woman? Larch will help you be objective in situations in which it is almost impossible to maintain impartiality.

Rest in places where there are deciduous forests, as well as bouquets of branches, is useful. In addition, as a remedy for depression, it is recommended to chew young shoots of larch or just a few needles. They are not prickly at all and even taste quite pleasant.

This is a tree that patronizes a family with children. The larger the family, the more children, and perhaps grandchildren, the more willingly the alder tree supports its members.

Alder helps support family ties, its influence helps to unite all family members; alder tends to unite people into a clan.

The influence of alder will not help you in matters of mutual love between spouses, in matters of adultery. But if you come to her with problems of family relationships, that is, parents and children, daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, son-in-law and mother-in-law, alder will willingly help you find a solution.

This is a tree for women who are guardians of the hearth, the tree of the “big house”. It will not support you in your personal requests - everything is only for household members. Let someone from your household ask for you. Alder will not help you take your husband away from another woman, but it will help tie you to your home, to your family with such strong ties that even passionate love cannot compare with them.

For practical use, alder blossom is collected in the spring, kept dried and sewn into linen in closets with clothes, in the kitchen closet, in general, where women's care reigns supreme.

To influence your husband, you should secretly sew an alder cone into the seam of his clothing in secret from him. The rule is the same as for rose hips - the color and cones must be collected with your hands.

Aspen is a tree of destruction. It absorbs negative energy and suppresses the violet part of the spectrum of the human aura. It was this property that was considered magical in earlier times.

But this is only partly true. Aspen is rather a conductor for energy of a certain spectrum, which relates to the magical, paranormal abilities of the human body, and is also a conductor of energy that is not inherent in our material world, but brought or penetrated to us from other worlds. It was this property that was revered most in aspen.

Everyone knows that best way fighting werewolves, vampires or the living dead - an aspen stake. If we consider all of the listed phenomena, and the induction of energies of the other world onto a person or his body is considered as an obsession, then it is aspen that “grounds” or takes this energy to another state, to the earth, to water, and returns it to a pure free state.

In the aspen forest, almost no manipulation with energy, practically no supersensory influence is possible - there we lose all extrasensory or even magical abilities. But an aspen grove is the best place where you can find refuge from magical persecution; perhaps even with the help of an aspen you can get rid of the persecution of an energy vampire, and to some extent alleviate the consequences of the damage or evil eye.

Direct contact with aspen will cleanse your aura of induced harmful influences, but it will not be able to save you from family curses, troubles generated by your own ill will or envy. In addition, contact with aspen will help you avoid exposure to phenomena of the intangible world. Not only living wood has such qualities, but also products made from aspen wood. Therefore, bracelets, rings, in a word, all aspen jewelry that is closed on itself can serve as excellent talismans for you.

Traditional medicine also recognizes the property of aspen to relieve fevers if the appropriate ritual is performed. They take a belt or ribbon from the patient, come to a separate aspen tree at dawn and, tying the patient’s thing around the trunk, read a spell in which they ask the braid to take away fever and illness from the patient. Aspen also enjoyed well-deserved love among women, as it shared and soothed the grief of women - widows, abandoned girls, mothers who had lost a child.

This tree is the best friend of young girls and boys. A gentle tree, friendly to youth, healing the spiritual disappointments of the young. Bird cherry is the tree of Romeo and Juliet, tender affection, youthful passion, but not allowing anything base. If it is not your soul that speaks in you, but your body, bird cherry will not bring you any benefit.

Even if you are no longer young, but are tired of the pragmatism of reality, come to the bird cherry tree, even if it does not bloom. Her aura will clear the spectrum of emotional blue and green. Helps you fall in love with people again.

This is all the more important because under the influence of bird cherry it will be much easier for you to forgive and ask for forgiveness, which, as we have already said, is necessary for the harmony of your state. Even if for some reason you don’t go to church, contact with bird cherry will make it easier for you to sincerely repent. The cleansing effect of bird cherry is preserved in dried flowers and berries. Just remember that the purely pharmacological effect of the decoction of bird cherry berries is fixative.

Rowan is an owl. She gets up in the summer at about 10. She reaches her peak of activity at 12-16 hours, and falls asleep around two in the morning.

It is one of the 12 sacred trees of Scandinavia. This beauty is actually a warrior tree, capable of giving a very tough rebuff to the influence of evil. According to some beliefs, she is a distant ancestor of the first sacred tree of good on Earth, which dried up with the arrival of the forces of evil on our planet. Many ancient legends say that rowan is the fruit of true love.

According to one legend, a wife turned to her, at whose feet her beloved husband died. Evil people wanted to separate them, but they could not achieve this either with the help of gold, or with the help of power and weapons, or even with the help of death. Their life was wonderful, and their death was also wonderful. Kissed in last time husband, the faithful wife cried out to the Lord to protect her from the power of the murderers, and at that very moment she became a mountain ash on his grave. Its fruits became red like blood shed in the name of love.

Evil always hates love, since love is a divine feeling, not subject to any spells or witchcraft, and a man and a woman who sincerely love each other become one, like the Creator, and emerge from the power of the evil forces of our planet.

Rowan stores the bitter fire of love in its berries. This tree can ignite the flame of a true sense of selflessness in the hearts of people.

Since the rowan is a warrior tree, it also protects true love from misfortunes and troubles. Its ripe bunches were and are used as amulets against the dirty deeds of others during a wedding and as a talisman of family happiness in the house. To do this, small rowan branches (always with ripe, bright fruits) are simply placed on the window.

As long as the berries are red, the branch will not lose its strength - no misfortune that can separate loving hearts will enter the house.

In Western Europe, it was believed that rowan protected against evil spirits. Therefore, a cross made of rowan was often used at home as a protective talisman.

It is doubtful that rowan directly protects a person from the action of evil spirits. This is not the nature of this tree. Born from death to continue life in another guise, having conquered death, rowan really protects... but from energy dead world, including from the walking dead, and partly from zombies and their influence.

At least, in Rus' it was used precisely for this. By the way, it is now completely forgotten that rowan wine (purely Russian wine) was considered healing, and it was almost never consumed, except in cases of severe loss of strength or depression. Sometimes rowan decoction or rowan branches were used as an additional remedy in the treatment of damage and the evil eye, and nervous diseases. It was believed that the life force of the rowan tree could drive away the ghosts of death from a person and return him to our world. Often, in order to bring a fainted person back to his senses (that is, who has lost a real understanding of reality) and force him to at least go for treatment (which can actually be very, very difficult to do), a rowan cross was placed under his bed at night. Anyone can make such a cross themselves.

To do this, at noon in September, when the Sun goes through the sign of Virgo, two branches of rowan with berries were cut with a non-household knife (that is, never used for household chores: cutting bread, chopping vegetables, etc.) with a knife (or a new one). The berries were then placed on the window as a talisman or used for food, and two branches of equal length were crossed and tied tightly in the middle with red threads. Then the “Our Father” was read over this cross three times, a drop of church candle wax was dropped onto the intersection of the threads, it was dipped into holy water three times and passed over the candle flame three times and was ready for use. This cross can also be placed under the bed to ward off bad thoughts or dreams (but for no more than 21 days in a row), hung in the house as a talisman against the forces of the dead kingdom, etc.

The energy of rowan is quite hard, it contains certain radiations close to X-rays, which pierce right through our body. Therefore, many, being under the mountain ash, feel uncomfortable. Rowan cleanses our body of accumulated dirt and toxins, forcing us to expel excess salts, poisons and putrefactive products with sweat and waste. First of all, rowan cleanses our intestines and blood. People who have accumulated a lot of dirt inside them will feel unwell at the first moment after the influence of this tree; their temperature may even rise or their blood pressure may jump. Although later, when the body is cleansed, strength and health will come. Therefore, it is better to start communicating with mountain ash for 5-10 minutes and gradually increase it to an hour. It is better not to stay under her for more than an hour - you will clearly feel an excess of her energy, which can lead to a headache or a nervous breakdown. Communication with this tree is standard. Its energy affects us most harmoniously if we stand with our backs leaning against it, with our spine straightened. This position allows the mountain ash not only to cleanse us, but also to tear away from us the energetic attachments that extend from other people and interfere with our personal happiness.

Rowan bonsai has a beneficial effect on us, wherever we are. Another thing is that the energy of the mountain ash itself affects everyone in its own way. It has the most beneficial effect on representatives of the earthly signs of the Zodiac: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. It also has a good effect on Scorpios. The rest of the zodiac signs are not shown constant communication with her.

Since ancient times, rowan wood has been used only as decorations, crafts, and for magical purposes. It is almost never used in industry and finishing. You will not experience much delight under the constant influence of the heavy and harsh energy of rowan wood. She is like rowan wine - slightly intoxicating, healing and bitter at the same time. Therefore, what is good in medicinal purposes in small doses, with increasing doses it can become poisonous.

The only tree that, unlike others, does not fall asleep for the winter. It will offer you its energetic support all year round, not just in the summer. Although spruce does not carry particularly strong properties, its energy will be available to those who feel a lack of strength during the winter months.

The fact that trees have medicinal properties has been known for a long time. People since the Stone Age have treated wounds with plantain leaves - one of the most effective medicinal herbs.

They thought that medicinal plants had magical powers that exorcised the demons of disease. Today, more than 10,000 are known worldwide medicinal plants. Biologically active substances contained in leaves, fruits, bark or roots have been studied in their own way chemical composition.

Currently, only 5% of plants on Earth have been studied for the content of medicinal substances in them.

Introduction

The fact that trees have medicinal properties has been known for a long time. People since the Stone Age have treated wounds with plantain leaves, one of the most effective medicinal herbs.

They thought that medicinal plants had magical powers that exorcised the demons of disease. Today, more than 10,000 medicinal plants are known throughout the world. Biologically active substances contained in leaves, fruits, bark or roots were studied according to their chemical composition. Pharmaceutical factories today produce a large number of medications in the form of suppositories, tablets or drops.

Currently, only 5% of the Earth's plants have been studied for the content of medicinal substances in them.

Scientists believe that endangered tropical rain forests contain plants that can heal even such serious illnesses like AIDS and cancer.

Target: Study of the medicinal properties of trees and their use in medicine.

Tasks:

1. Study the medicinal properties of trees.
2. Learn to distinguish trees by energy: donor or vampire?
3. Study the method of using the medicinal properties of trees to improve the health of the body.

Main part

Tree energy

The trees we are all familiar with have very powerful energy. With their help, you can also improve your condition. health . And since nature has given us such an opportunity, it would be simply stupid not to take advantage of it.

Trees work the same way as our own hands (if you didn’t know: one hand draws energy, the other adds). That is, some trees give energy (donors), others take it (vampires - oh, what a terrible word, but also useful).

In order to determine which tree you are on, you need to press tightly against the trunk and stand there for several minutes. If you feel a surge of strength, then this is a donor. And if on the contrary - weakness, headache, dizziness and other unpleasant symptoms - a vampire.

There is no need to be afraid of trees - vampires, since we need both types for treatment. If you are sick, then first you need to communicate with a vampire in order to pull off all the negativity present in your field, and then recharge and replenish your energy from the donor tree.

Strong donors - oak, birch, spruce, pine, cedar, apricot.

Trees have the most powerful energy during flowering.– it’s spring, don’t miss the moment.

Strong vampires - aspen, poplar, alder.
For sick and weakened people, it is best to start with willow and birch, their energy is very light.

In order to determine which tree is right for you, take a piece of foil from a candy or chocolate bar and stroke it with your fingernail. If the foil sticks to the bark of the tree, the tree is yours, and if it sticks to your hand, don’t experiment with that tree anymore.

Birch – DOCTOR

Birch is a wonderful creation

Reminds me of a girl's figure.

Inspiration comes from her.

So many birds sing about her.

Birch - often surprises

With its wonderful beauty

And the leaf always captivates me

With its alluring yellowness.

Birch tree from a fairy tale.

She's naive and simple

You can't take your eyes off this paint

Any girl's eyes

And I fell in love with her since childhood

I'll tell her the whole truth

Her warmth warms my heart so much

I am writing to you about this.

Birch is one of the most beautiful trees on the planet. The white graceful trunk creates a feeling of extraordinary gentle light emanating from this tree. Despite the fact that it grows in both Scandinavia and Europe, the white-trunked birch has long been a symbol of Russia. For us, who live here, it is a symbol of the homeland, its protective, feminine principle.
Birch belongs to the zodiac sign of Cancer. She transmits for us his strength and the moving, unsteady energy of the Moon. Its energy is cold and refreshing, like clean water, and just like water after bathing, it plunges us into a sleep that lifts people to the heights of heaven. It gives a person the support of his family.

In the old days they said: “Birch is a capricious and capricious tree. It doesn’t welcome every person, it doesn’t help everyone. But if it loves someone, that person should be happy and successful in everything.”

Birch is a tree that stays awake all day. She falls asleep just before dawn. As the first roosters crow, having dispersed the evil spirits with their voice, the birch tree plunges into a sweet and deep sleep for 2 hours, so that, waking up at dawn, it can give the world its pure strength. Her sleep period occurs at approximately 3-5 am, and her peak alertness is at 6-9 am.
It is clear that the energy of birch is closer to a woman. Maiden round dances around birch trees made it possible to “unwind” the energy of the tree so that it would give its strength and protection to the area where it grows. This natural connection between a woman and a birch tree is reflected in epithets, proverbs and sayings. “Slim as a birch tree,” “beautiful as a birch tree,” they said about the most beautiful woman in the village, filled with strength and health, inseparable from true beauty, in contrast to the perverted beauty of our century, which can only be achieved through violence against one’s own body and health .
In general, there has always been a special attitude towards birch in Russia. They took care of it, looked after it, specially planted it, trying to “ring” the village with a protective belt of birch trees. Jewelry made from birch wood was used to protect against evil spirits. Long before the advent of Christianity, during the time corresponding to the present Trinity, brooms made from freshly cut branches of this tree were used to “sweep out” evil spirits from the hut. On this day, the whole hut was washed with a decoction of twigs from diseases and misfortunes.

The weeping birch was considered a special tree - it was sometimes called the “navy tree,” that is, the tree of the dead. Its juice, buds, bark, wood and leaves have never been used for medicinal purposes - only for magical ones. They said that this tree has a connection with the world of the dead, that mermaids and drowned women love it. Therefore, the weeping birch was always decorated with mermaid for a week to protect against the mischief of spirits. They tried not to break this tree, so as not to incur the wrath of otherworldly forces. In the old days, people went to him, trying to enlist the help of their ancestors in some important matter or ask for protection from harm.

It has long been believed that in May, birch has the greatest healing power. Therefore, from May 1 to May 12, its juice was collected and given to sick, sick and weak people to drink so that they would quickly recover and gain strength. To prevent the tree from becoming weak, no more than 1 liter of sap was collected from each birch, the wound was carefully covered, and the tree was thanked for its help. This tree was not touched again for a year, just as no branches were cut from the donor tree for a year. It was believed that if you visit the birch tree too often

If she seeks help, she may become offended and take revenge on the person who offended her, sending him “trouble” and failure in his personal life. Usually, to collect birch sap, trees growing in the forest aged from 7 to 50 years were used, since it was believed that in addition to health, birch can give a person youth, and for this the tree itself should not be too old. In May, half-bloomed birch buds were collected for medicinal purposes.

Knowing the “capriciousness” of the tree, they tried not to plant a birch tree near the house, especially since, according to popular beliefs, elemental spirits and shadows of the dead often hide in its foliage. Therefore, they placed a birch tree at the gate so that trouble would not enter the yard, and they placed a bench next to it so that at the right time they could “talk” to the tree, ask it for strength and help.
According to popular belief, birch is especially favorable to children, innocent girls and pregnant women.
For children, swings were placed near the birch trees, girls decorated birch trees with their ribbons taken from the braid, on the holiday of Lada and Lelya, on Ivan Kupala, in order to get married successfully.

Healing properties of pine

Scots pine- coniferous evergreen tree of the pine family (Pinaceae), up to 50 m high. Lives up to 350-400 years. Grows on sandy, sandy loam, podzolic, turf, gley and peat-bog soils.

Chestnut leaves can be harvested from May to September (before they begin to yellow). If harvesting is carried out from the same trees, leaves should be collected at the end of summer, before leaf fall. Young chestnut trees 2-3 m high are most convenient for harvesting. Collecting about 1/3 of the leaves on a tree does not harm it. Dry them under canopies, in dryers or in rooms with good ventilation, laying them out in a layer no more than 10 cm thick. In the first 2-3 days, to speed up drying, the drying leaves are turned over 1-2 times a day.

Healing properties of poplar

One of the Greek legends talks about how poplars appeared on Earth. Phaeton (the son of the Sun god), in order to prove his divine origin, decided to ride across the sky in Helios’s chariot, but could not cope with the team, which, sweeping away everything in its path, rushed from the sky to Earth. Zeus struck the chariot with lightning and smashed it to prevent all life on Earth from dying. The phaeton died in the waves of the river. Phaethon's sisters mourned immensely, and the Sun did not shine that day. The gods took pity on the grief of the sisters and turned them into slender trees sacred to the Greeks - poplars.

The combination of antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties in aspen bark makes it used in the complex treatment of tuberculosis, smallpox, malaria, dysentery, pneumonia, coughs of various origins, rheumatism and inflammation of the bladder mucosa.

Legends associated with aspen

Aspen leaves still tremble with horror, remembering the Crucifixion. It was believed that the Cross of the Lord was made of aspen, and “since then the branches of this tree have been gripped by fear and trembled incessantly.” However, aspen does not actually grow in Palestine. The trembling of aspen leaves in the Russian tradition is associated with another episode of the New Testament - the suicide of Judas Iscariot.

People consider aspen a cursed tree because, according to legend, Judas the Traitor hanged himself on it. In fact, a rather wide aspen leaf naturally has a very thin and flexible stalk, unable to hold it straight; This is why aspen foliage is extremely sensitive to even the lightest breeze. There is an assumption that this is due to the fact that aspen, due to rapid growth, does not have time to build up a sufficiently large thickness and strength of the main trunk, while the total leaf area reaches quite large sizes. Therefore on strong wind a plant with leaves tightly pressed to the stems would constantly lose them (aspen leaves are held on long, rather loose petioles); and a rigid trunk would break (the aspen trunk is extremely flexible).
It is also believed that an aspen stake driven into the heart of a vampire can stop him.

It's better to leave this place.
It is best to approach your tree barefoot and wearing light clothing made from natural fabrics.
To improve your health, you need to stand near the donor tree for 3-5 minutes at a distance of 2-3 centimeters. There is no need to snuggle and kiss the tree.
