Folk omens about rowan

Rowan and red viburnum have long been revered in Rus'. Sad legends about love were associated with them. Therefore, it was believed that the pain of unrequited love subsides as soon as viburnum branches are applied to the chest. And a young rowan was planted near the house as soon as the newlyweds settled in it.

September 23 – Peter and Pavel Ryabinnik

The holiday was special in Rus'. Both Saints Peter and Paul were called “Rowan berries”. It was on this day that wonderful berries were harvested. Because after the first frost, the berries they grabbed were considered the most useful. And their taste becomes much more pleasant. The windows of houses were decorated with berries to ward off evil spirits. The symbol of the club of God himself was its branches: the tree guarded the house.

The flowering of rowan was associated with the onset of warmth, and this was a signal to sow flax. After all, they expected a big harvest when they had time to do it while the tree was in bloom. At the same time, cucumbers, pumpkins, and peas were sown. Later, the flowering of rowan was associated with the protracted autumn season. A poor harvest of rowan itself means that autumn will not be rainy. But if the branches are generously strewn with berries, the rains will come, and the winter will be frosty.

The tree protected not only from evil spirits, but also from the dead. Immediately after the funeral, a cross made of rowan branches was installed on the grave, it was fastened with red threads. The branches of the tree were also strengthened on the door of the house. By the way, it was not allowed to cut rowan trees, and the one who did this was supposed to get sick and die. If the branches were needed for a good cause, they asked the rowan tree for permission to take them.

The energy of rowan can cleanse the human body of toxins. To do this, you should press your back against its trunk for 5-10 minutes. If the contamination is too strong, it can become bad: the pressure and temperature will rise. The procedure should be carried out when the tree is blooming or its berries are fully ripe. And, oddly enough, in the city, not in the forest.

August 11 – Kalinov day

The name of the tree comes from the ancient name of the Sun - Kolo and symbolizes the immortality of the family. That is why even now wedding towels are filled with bunches of viburnum. She is also a symbol of women’s destiny, and in order for a newborn girl to grow up happy, she was bathed in water with viburnum berries.

The tree personified the goddess who patronized lovers. And the wedding loaf was decorated with viburnum bunches. Viburnum symbolizes fire and water, which give strength to metal, and it owes its name to the word “heat”, that is, “to harden”. And if your soul is heavy, it has long been advised to hug Mother Viburnum, and she will calm you down and give you strength.

Special signs on Kalinov Day

If there was fog on the morning of Viburnum Day, it meant that there would be rich harvests of barley and oats. And, if the latter throws out green sprouts again on this day, autumn will turn out to be rainy. At the same time, beekeepers should take care of their bees, because this is an unfavorable time for insects. In the old days, frosts were often observed on August 11, and it was noted that it would be warm at the beginning of autumn. The flowering of viburnum coincides with the spawning time of crucian carp.

This tree is also a tool for magicians, because it promotes insights. Beads made from pieces of branches can help develop the ability of clairvoyance in an ordinary person. You just need to wear them without taking them off. They will also be a talisman against the evil eye. The roots will also give strength if they are infused in cognac and camphor alcohol mixed in equal parts.

By rubbing your palms with such soaked roots, a person absorbs the energy of this. By the way, it is not considered that strong compared to other trees. But viburnum is one of those amulets that give their power to the person being protected completely. Gamblers also carry a handful of viburnum with them as an amulet.

Rowan- an amazing perennial plant that has bright berries that stand out significantly against the calmer background of nature. Rowan is widely distributed throughout Europe, Asia and North America. Due to this signs when there is a lot of rowan, or simply associated with rowan, are very diverse, since almost every nation dealt with such a plant and talked about it in their folklore.

Based on many beliefs, Rowan is an analogue of the soul man, and therefore serves to connect him with nature. So, for example, a separately grown shoot of this plant in the yard has very good symbolism. On the other hand, it is very strictly forbidden to cause any kind of injury to this plant, namely, in no case should you injure the trunk of this tree, or simply break off several branches at once unnecessarily. And if you do happen to do this, you should immediately ask the plant for forgiveness.

Rowan is a powerful amulet against witchcraft throughout almost the entire territory of Europe - from the Russian Federation to Great Britain.

Folk

Often, rowan berries, namely, their quantity, were used to judge what kind of winter was expected.

  • So, based on popular beliefs, a lot of rowan trees symbolize a damp, very rainy, but at the same time mild autumn, which has a very beneficial effect on nature.
  • There is a sign according to which a large number of berries on rowan will provoke a cold and frosty winter. In the beliefs of the Slavs, it was believed that rowan in this way takes care of birds and animals, and thus helps them survive in the cold.

But in truth, the climate conditions that cause cold weather (the formation of various kinds of cyclones and anticyclones, high humidity, due to which the berries ripen) are very favorable for the plant as a whole. Therefore, the sign based on which: “ a lot of rowan - for frost" - can be explained mostly by the weather, which is favorable for the ripening of the fruits of a given plant.

Ritual

Signs of different nations about rowan are closely related not only to weather conditions, but also to the occult properties of this berry. Due to the unusually rich, red color of the fruits and the time period of their ripening (late autumn, after frost), many people attribute mysterious properties to rowan. The berry was even used previously in human burial rituals.

  • Based on the beliefs of the Scots, rowan protects the house from witches.
  • Signs predicted for Russian peasants protect houses from the dead using rowan branches above the doors.
  • In an old herbal book you can read: “If the mountain ash is very bad this year, then you should expect the misfortunes of deadly enemies - war or famine with starvation.” Scientists explain the emergence of such a negative sign with people’s fear of rowan as a plant of sorcerers and the fact that its berries are very similar in color to blood.

A few more signs

  1. If the plant has fully blossomed, then the frosts will go away fully.
  2. If on a tree the leaves have withered and remained for the winter, bitter frosts are expected. This sign is true not only for rowan, but also other plants.
  3. Three rowan trees near the site are a talisman against fire.
  4. A rowan tree under the window is a talisman against envy.
  5. A rowan tree on the porch is wealth.
  6. Rowan in the garden - a full harvest.

Rowan has strong bactericidal properties, therefore, together with silver, it is an excellent means for purifying water. In the most ancient times, when people went to mow, they threw a bunch of this plant into the creek to make the water drinkable. Tourists and travelers still use this technique to this day: a rowan branch with fresh leaves is dropped into contaminated water for 2 hours - and the water is disinfected and then you can drink it.

The ancient power of rowan

  • Rowan is a female plant. She takes girls under protection, giving true beauty and health.
  • In Ancient Rus', no one could do without these fruits. In Voronezh, a matchmaker sprinkled a rowan root on the boot of a young man to remove any damage from him, if any. The newlyweds' shoes were lined with leaves of this tree, and wreaths with berries were placed on their heads. It was believed that in this guise the couple protected from the evil eye. Rowan branches were used to clear the bedroom for the wedding night, the bride wore beads made from these berries, and the groom attached whole bunches to his belt.
  • A large number of signs are associated with rowan - if the wreath that was on the bride’s head was torn, this meant that the wedding was not taking place for love. If rowan wreath, on the contrary, remains fresh for a long time, this means that real feelings live in the hearts, and happiness awaits the young.
  • If beads made from these berries, which were suspended over the bed, suddenly tore and crumbled, which means that wedding. And where most of the berries have gone, the sweet one will arrive from there.
  • If a girl suddenly saw near the window rowan berries, which are scattered in the snow, a branch by the window or a couple of berries on the windowsill - that means she will soon find happiness.
  • There was also a belief that if a girl took a steam bath rowan broom, and then throws it into the yard of his beloved, he will find her “by scent,” and the girl will forever keep her youth and beauty.
  • If a rowan tree that grows in the yard suddenly stopped bearing fruit and got sick, that means something is expected unkind. The same will happen if the seedlings of this tree suddenly stop growing.
  • This plant has been sought since ancient times help with female infertility, sexual diseases, sexual frigidity. Berries were traditionally added to teas and potions, helping to overcome non-reciprocal love; amulets were made from them to protect from evil spells, ward off the evil eye and evil damage.
  • Even today, girls in villages make beads from these berries in the fall, without even thinking that previously such beads were an excellent amulet. Such beads were worn all year round, until fresh berries appeared. Such a talisman was considered the best protection against alien magic of any kind. When new beads were made, the old ones were burned or ground. Therefore, rowan is a very powerful plant.

    Folk omens about rowan

    • The sign of a lot of rowan indicates that you can expect a long, warm autumn, with prolonged rains, and a cold winter with snow. The plant warns that it would be better to stock up on supplies for the winter before it’s too late.
    • If the mountain ash blooms early and abundantly, the summer will be hot and dry.
    • The rowan leaves turned yellow and began to fall off even before the onset of autumn - get ready for a long, cold winter with severe frosts.
    • Half-open flowers are falling from the tree - the cold will come late this year. If some of the berries fall off before they are ripe, the harvest will be good.
    • Signs about rowan in the fall say that if the leaves turn yellow but do not fall off for a long time, the most severe cold will occur in the middle of winter.
    • The berries are ripe early - winter is just around the corner.
    • You cannot chop rowan trees or cut branches from them. But bunches of berries (only ripe ones) can and should even be picked. Brought into the house, they will become a symbol of prosperity and abundance.
    • In Scotland, it was believed that rowan in the house would help ward off the evil eye, ward off evil spirits and protect the home from evil spirits, including witches, ghouls and ghouls. And to prevent vampires and werewolves from entering the house, it was necessary to hang a sprig with the berries of this plant at the threshold, which acted as an analogue of garlic (evil spirits are also afraid of it).

    Is it worth planting rowan in the yard (under the window, on the plot)

    To luck and prosperity

    A rowan tree in the yard is a positive omen, especially if the tree itself sprouted from seeds brought by birds. But the sprout that has sprouted through your efforts will also bring good luck and prosperity to the house.

    From thieves, fire and against wickedness

    If several of these green beauties grow on a plot at once, then not only ghouls and ghouls, but also thieves will avoid it. Home owners also don’t have to worry about fires.

    For women, from villains

    This tree is also considered the patron saint of women and a talisman of women’s health. If you plant a rowan tree near the house where a girl or woman lives, it will give her fertility, beauty and longevity.

    If you plant a rowan tree near a threshold, then an evil person or an uninvited guest will not cross it.

    From diseases

    If a seriously ill person lives in the house, then rowan with its powerful vital energy will help him get back on his feet. To do this, you need to place him in a room located as close as possible to the tree, and give him a decoction of aromatic and healthy berries to drink three times a day.
