Herbs-amulets to protect the house, family, children. Slavic wards and their meaning

A woman in many cults and mythologies occupies a central place, because she is not only the notorious guardian of the hearth, but also the defender of her family from an external negative and sinister forces. In the help of herbalists often take their own trees, herbs and inflorescences, because it is in them that the combination of the strength of several powerful elements - air, water and earth is concealed. Armed with the multifaceted experience of ancestors, women can easily cook not only ointment or broth, but also build the strongest amulet. And as for an individual, and for the whole family. Sometimes, too, various conspiracies were used.

Oberegi

Travnitsy long ago conventionally divided their green arsenal into several groups:

• Grass-amulets - serve to create sources of protection and peace;
• Healing and regenerating plants - are used for the production of ointments, extracts and infusions;
• Herbs that have a loving force - are used to create loving means;
• Grass for luck - this kind of plants are used to create amulets or amulets, as well as bouquets, collections.

Some types of plants can serve as a good start, and bring certain troubles, than do not ignore sorcerers and envious persons. Each herbalist at the beginning of her own path scrupulously studies this area of knowledge, because so powerful herbs can be used against humans in the first place.

Properties

Diseases, melancholy and fatigue have long been considered the consequences of the influence of evil forces on the human body. Herbs-amulets are designed not only to reflect the negative, but also to accumulate the man's own reserves and, if possible, multiply them.

From a historical point of view, plants have long found their admirers, because even before the advent of mankind animals with might and main used the healing properties of plants during indisposition or poisoning. And in the modern world, owners often share their impressions of methodical attacks of cats in gardens or forests, often many housewives caught a pet for eating snowdrops or plantain.

From damage

The most popular among the unenlightened population are the herbs from spoiling. Why is that? Because the evil eye and corruption are the most common deeds of the material wealth of the modern mankind. Chronic dependence on well-being and economic confusion in any state give rise to wild envy in society, which leads to the prosperity of uncharacteristic desires in it.

Not always spoiled thoughtful, and all its victims are calculated in advance - quite often there is a confluence of several factors that give thought or wish so powerful a charge. A person can simply grieve over his sadness and on such a gloomy background think of someone happier or luckier, which ultimately leads to devastating consequences for the latter. However, we are distracted, and therefore we will return to the topic of our article. So, the herbs ...

When to collect plants?

In order for all kinds of grass and flower buds to fully reveal their magical potential, every herbalist knows a whole algorithm of behavior during the collection, drying and combining of raw materials. Slavs called the most fruitful period of gathering herbs the day of the summer solstice. In the hot season, there are several powerful holidays, which multiply the power of the elements laid in the plants. The Agrafena Kupalnitsa day is considered to be the beginning of the collection time. It was on the evening of July 6 that people considered washing an obligatory procedure, because with water not only the external mud left, but the inner world was also cleansed.

At the Bathhouse, the girls took out the festive chests of the finest outfits and wooed to their neighbors. The owners were asked to wash the guests, thereby encouraging them to give ribbons, brand-new beads or wreaths. Travniki at night often went to collect the richest harvest, which could easily provide the healer with raw materials for the whole next year.

The next rich in power holiday was the day of Ivan Kupala. Thanks to the herbs collected at that time, many Slavic amulets gained additional durability against evil forces. But the search for this night could only know the herbalists, leading or long practicing medicine men. To ensure that good luck does not leave in the dark, you need to go out of the house unnoticed. In many places this mission was assigned to "clean" elderly women - they can not conceive a child and are not in sexual relations. Some of the stories in the stories about the herbalists to the descendants mentioned an important requirement - collecting grass is required a few days before Ivan Kupala to remove the cross. Often in the forest, healers and gatherers were completely freed from the world, dropping even their shirts, and appeared before the plants in true purity.

Where to put the grass?

After the collection, the grass was immediately distributed to fellow villagers or dried, and already dry plants were added to the "border" spaces - a threshold, a pipe or under a home stove. After the conspiracies whispered. Wards of these herbs, as well as potions and broths were in great demand.

Below we will consider the most powerful, popular and popular in the grass.

Ivan-da-Marya

The inconspicuous Ivan-da-Marya is a serious protector of the home from theft. The plant has flowers of yellow and rich purple. Therefore, dividing them when unfolding in the room, the healers were confident in the strength of their connection. It was believed that the plant can not remain in silence with its half, and it is the whispers of flowers that will provide shelter protection from thieves.

Ararat-grass

Priceless grass was considered to be amulets, the bloom of which fell on the day of Ivan Kupala, and those that gave three full buds, and were famous for their unlimited power. Those who know herbalists include ararat-grass, which decorates the place where the channels of the two powerful rivers Oka and Moscow merge. Tradition said that to get such a strong plant can only be a fearless and powerful man, because in Ivanovo night, a wilderness is guarded by all evil spirits. The owner of such a flower acquired power over both the dark forces and all the magic potions. Therefore, the plant at all times was plenty of fans.

Ararat decorates its head with buds of blue and warm yellow color, attracting many Slavic beauties. In search of grass traveled in the afternoon or clear at midnight on Ivan Kupala. But this complexity just started - to get a plant is not so easy. The seekers were obliged to delineate the groove around the find (in the direction opposite to the sun, that is, against the sun), and afterwards to pull the flower behind the stalk. If the ararat-grass came out together with the root and the ground, it promised success in the search for magical plants. In the case when she broke down, you could safely go back home - witchcraft in this grass, or in the rest of the others that night could not be found.

Break-grass

If you are interested in grass-preserves for the house, then know that the above-mentioned ararat-grass also applies to them. Finding her did not have to worry about her luck that night - the herbs themselves were trying to get into his basket. Many sorcerers, having received ararat in their arsenal, went in search of a rift-grass. This flower by magical power is always equated with a fern. Before the break-grass, not a single castle, not a single obstacle (not for nothing that it was called so!), And who found it could become invisible. In Ivanov night the grass blossoms exactly as much as it takes to fully read the Lord's and the Mother of God's prayers, and then the fire flower withers.

It is not so easy to obtain it. For this, it is necessary for Ivan Kupala to find a wasteland and mow the grass on it until the metal blade breaks into two parts. The sound of metal will become a sure sign of good luck - in the haystack a necessary potion will necessarily be found. After taking all the mowing in an armful from the place where the blade broke, they threw it into the nearest river and waited. The rupture-grass not only does not sink in the water, but also floats against its current.

Special interest in this plant was fueled, for understandable reasons, by thieves. Fans of easy money consider it to be the most important in their arsenal, because the plant does not just have special properties, which are shown by other herbs-amulets, but also allows penetrating through any obstacle (even a lock will not be needed), it is only necessary to lay the grass in the previously prepared cut in Finger. So say the belief ...

Fern

Put under the skin, this potion can also be used against the enemy. According to legends, when touched by a living being, it caused the death of the latter. The old women always warned the girls to avoid the places where this herb grows. Fern, however, has always been of great interest to people. Still would! After all, he too could make a person invisible, and in addition, he also gave the person who found the ability to leaf through the pages of the future and the past, and also to conduct a dialogue with animals.

Pouches

The trend of recent years has become very comfortable and, no doubt, colorful bags of herbs. They are often used by young mummies, trying to protect their child from ill-wishers or onlookers. Of a good piece of linen cloth is sewn a capacious pouch. A thread is attached to it for tightening. In the bag itself all the available herbs are unloaded from evil people. After that, it is placed in the crib of the baby or by the wheelchair during walks. Which plants are suitable for this?

Herbs for protection

In order to protect the child use a dry basil, a good branch of elderberry and St. John's wort. To strengthen the strength to resist disease, it is better to put verbena and elecampane in a linen pocket. Basil since the times of the kings is famous for its powerful protective properties, especially as a home guard. The maids of many lords unfolded well-packed bags in all the rooms, so that the aroma of the plant would drive away bad weather, evil spirits and future enemies.

Verbena

Verbena is famous not only for its protective properties (many say that vampires are also wary of the owners of this plant), but is also famous for its ability to attract love, luck and even well-being. The craftsmen often use her flowers as part of the composition.

Clover

Verbena and fairy clover are not inferior to verbena - for good reason his abilities are described in many stories and even cult films. Trefoil mother gently dried and put in sachets. And the clover with the four leaflets brought good luck to the recruit. Such a talisman witch doctors advised never to lose and store from moisture.

Henbane

Picking herbs, wardrobes for the house, the wise herbalists did not forget about bleach (the usual expression "bleached over" does not in vain sounds in legends, legends, proverbs and other folklore works). This plant is able to withstand madness. Therefore, in many countries, a bag of bleached belts was hidden in our amulets. Magicians and sorcerer scrupulously mixed the poisonous plant with other medicinal herbs, and then safely fell into a solid state of trance. Also, the ability of the bleached to reflect all the attacks of hypnotists is highlighted.

Sagebrush

Every year, wizards are less likely to use wormwood in their recipes. The reviews of modern herbalists are filled with regret that even with careful assembling of the very tops of the plant, it is not possible to protect themselves from vigorous pollen. After that, the bitter taste does not leave a witch for a few more days. That's just not everyone knows the potential of tart wormwood - in the old days it was considered a bridge between reality and the subtle world of other matters. Experienced shamans and sorcerers resorted to the help of plants to adjust the connection with the spirits. It also helps to protect people from evil eye, evil spirits and is considered a catalyst of fertility.

Many craftsmen made Slavic amulets with the addition of grains of wormwood, because the latent bitterness in it has a colossal antidemonic charge. Shamans use a dry potion to conduct smoking sessions: with the help of thick smoke, they not only can trance, but also see the true state of things. Do you want to protect the dwelling and the whole family from evil forces? Herbalists are advised to hang in each room a small bouquet of dry wormwood, well tying it with a thread. Bitterness will drive away not only the evil spirits next door to the inhabitants, but also create a kind of dome around the room, through which other forces will not easily penetrate. The Chinese advise a bunch of wormwood to hide near the front door - so storms and evil people can not damage the house. And some Slavic herbalists talk about the benefits of taking a bath with a dry plant - so accumulated evil will be completely washed away.

Odolen - grass-amulet: the meaning of the plant

The most powerful charge of magical power is possessed in the Kupala night, unobtrusive in appearance, an odolen-grass (a white water lily). It has the unlimited power of the Sun and symbolizes the infinity of its movement. This plant is considered to be the most ancient Slavic wards, which are actively used in the modern world.

The main spectrum of the action of the lag was considered by the Slavs protection against diseases and magical intrigues, therefore the plant served not only as a material object (grass-amulet) - its name was often used in the text of conspiracies and spells. As for the magical properties of the water lily, many noted its ability to purify the mind of a lost person, to give strength to the spirit and body in the fight against negative influence. Over time, the image of a delicate flower began to be repeated in jewelry - amulets, rings and earrings were worn in case of extreme danger or serious illness. However, healers advised not to draw the other world into the life of a healthy person through the regular use of such jewelry.

To create a mascot with the image of grass, they often used silver and gold, less often - stone or polished wood. The water lily, which included the most powerful charge of solar energy, was considered a strictly individual talisman, that's why the choice was balanced, so as not to offend the odin. Grass-amulet, the value of which varies depending on the needs of its owner, is used even in everyday life, for example, in the ornamentation of dishes and clothes. Cutlery with a pattern of plants protect the family from poisoning, and clothes decorated with such embroidery, will save from danger on the road or in battle (in the latter case, the pattern was applied to the armor).

Creating amulets, many craftsmen tried to combine a delicate water lily with a powerful fern, because its Slavs were considered a worthy couple odoleten grass. Talismans for the family were also made in pairs: a man - a majestic fern, and female energy is more suited to flight-grass (another name); Each product was created as a half, so that in the end the couple had a connecting element in the form of a charm.

Thistle

The Slavs protected the home in the first place. After all, sorcerers and witches were the first enemies of the health and happiness of any family. Therefore, in the arsenal of the sensible herbalist, there was always a thistle. As a guardian, this plant not only had to arouse the evil spirit, but also to drive it away. In many villages on the grave of a sorcerer, knowledgeable people always planted a thistle, thereby sealing the world of the living from the influence of the deceased. Also, a mixture of several herbs could help the priest to expel the evil spirit that had overcome him from the exhausted body, thereby speeding up the exorcism procedure.

Slavs used a thistle flower with the goal of personal protection of a person from spoilage and evil eye. To do this, the envious intruder had to go to the meadow on a hot day before the new moon and tear off the color of the plant neatly. It is necessary to conduct the procedure all alone and try to think about your own defense. After the flower you need to wrap your hair and carry around for a year, and at the time of the next new moon - in hot weather - is to find a new flower. The old one needs to be thanked from the heart and completely burned. In general, all the plant amulets after use for their intended purpose should be given to fire - so the enemy can not use them, and the talisman itself will be cleared and take its place. If this is not done, over the years such talismans become the most powerful amulets, because they take the power of the predecessor and mobilize their resources.

Of the seven herbs

Strong herbalists prepare the amulet of seven herbs, including the most powerful plants and inflorescences. Such kind of gathering complex protects and cleanses a person from evil thoughts, unnecessary desires and envy. Only a connoisseur and collector of old traditions and teachings can correctly select and combine a protective "company", and this can be found in villages and small settlements where people have not lost their true connection with nature and their nature. It is not necessary to trust charlatans, especially since most herbs can both positively influence a person, and if not properly handled, they eat up their energy resources.

Conclusion

Selecting herbs, amulets for the family, each woman is obliged to completely clear her consciousness of negativity, domestic problems and offenses, otherwise the magic power of plants will be lost. The same rules are followed by those who create dolls or various compositions designed to protect the house from evil spirits, malicious intent and unkind people.
