The magical properties of aspen are used in amulets and rituals with spells. Folk signs about aspen What is an aspen stake at the door

06.03.2024 Numerology

From an early age, we have all heard about the sacred properties of aspen, and this is not only a stereotype of a material imposed by cinema, with the help of which vampires are destroyed. In fact, the properties of aspen are much more extensive. Aspen can really protect us from sacred entities: ghosts, energy vampires and other irrational evil spirits that love to visit us at night.

If you suspect that such people have settled in your house, then you should immediately fumigate it with smoke from aspen coals. Also, in this case, it would not hurt to hang a cross made of aspen wood above the sleeping place.

If there is none, then you can make the cross yourself using aspen branches. An aspen cross can be attached above the door frame. After fumigating the home with smoke and hanging crosses, you should sweep the house with an aspen broom, and collect the garbage and take it to the forest.

Aspen also protects and protects you well from the presence of evil and unkind people. To do this, carry three small aspen sticks in the left pocket of your everyday clothes. Aspen absorbs negative energy very well, and when you suddenly feel that you simply need to throw off the weight of accumulated problems and free yourself from negativity, then turn to aspen for help. After all, communication with this amazing tree helps to get rid of causeless fear, some obsessive thoughts and calm the nervous system. Aspen is even capable of averting the seemingly inevitable.

Aspen peg

An aspen peg is not only a symbol of the fight against evil spirits, but also a powerful Object of Power, with which you can protect your home and yourself from bad energy, as well as preserve positive energy by stopping its leakage.

You must make an aspen peg from a living tree. Under no circumstances use dry wood or regular timber that was cut down God knows when. Such a peg will be of little use; It’s better to visit the forest: breathe in fresh air, and prepare the necessary material. In the forest we will need to carry out a spell that will give you full magical protection in the form of an aspen peg.

Ritual "Living Tree"

To perform this ritual, you need to stock up on a completely new knife with a wooden handle that has not yet been used; a small bag (the size of a notebook sheet of paper) sewn from undyed natural fabric.

Wait until the moon begins to rise, and in the morning you go to nature or to a park where there are aspen trees. The ritual must be performed before noon. Choose a clear, sunny day. The tree should not be too old or too young.

To perform the ritual, turn your face to the east and say:

“My mother. Mother Earth. Kind and almighty. I know you love me, you love me, you will help me. You will help me, you will protect me. You are a blooming garden, you are the blue seas. You are the blue seas, you are the high mountains. You are the high mountains, you are the green forests. You are green forests, you are fast rivers. You are my home, you are my soul. We are one. Show me a bright day. Save me on the starry night. Protect me from evil misfortune. Give me happiness and give me love. I am your child"

After this, we cut off several aspen branches. In this case, the knife must be held in the right hand, and when cutting a branch, say:

“My dear friends! My green friends! You will give us joy, Health, Happiness and Love!”

Place the cut aspen branches in a bag and tie it tightly. Don't forget to thank the aspen tree that gave you its branches:

“Thank you, dears. Thank you, good ones, for Joy, for Happiness, for Goodness and Love!”

In this case, you should first bow to the tree, and then to the entire forest or park where you performed the ritual.

The aspen peg needs to be cut with the same knife that you cut the branches. The size of the peg should not exceed the width of your palm. One of the ends of the aspen peg must be sharpened, and an even perpendicular cut must be made on the other.

Now we need to determine the place where the aspen peg will bring the greatest benefit. In any home there are energy faults, which most often appear where dirty water flows. Most likely, this will be the bathroom of your apartment. It is necessary to find the most vulnerable spot in it.

To do this, you need to take an aspen peg in your right hand with the point up. Make a fist with the peg and extend your arm forward. Walk with your outstretched hand, holding your peg, through all the places where dirty water flows: kitchen sink, toilet, bathroom. In the place where there is an energy gap, your hand will spontaneously twitch or tremble.

After the energy leak has been found, you will need to perform the ritual of driving in an aspen peg. This is done as follows. Holding the peg with the point downwards in your left hand, slap it from above several times with your right hand, saying the following words:

“Let the bad go away and the good come (you need to say it three times), aspen peg, stand in your place, protect the house from evil.”

After this, the peg is wrapped in new white cotton fabric, sprinkled on the package and hidden next to the energy rift. Now the aspen peg will prevent positive energy from leaking into the fracture, and prevent negative energy from penetrating.

Aspen Peg. The most powerful energy of protection

“Aspen is a special tree; many ancient legends are associated with it. They say different things about this tree, both good and bad. But what all these stories agree on is that the energy of aspen is very powerful, there is enormous power hidden in it. Aspen is like a very strong magnet, and that magnet stands at the gate between two worlds. She absorbs all the negativity into herself and throws it into the other world, but does not allow everything that is good in this world to be dragged there.”

“You need to drive an aspen stake at a fault, where the world and the world converge, flow into each other. And then it will be good for everyone, and especially for those who have built their house in a bad place.”

The Aspen Peg is such an Object of Power, with the help of which we can, as it were, correct the energy of our home. It’s not often that we have the opportunity to choose the right housing from all sides in terms of energy. And often the problems that arise in our lives are not at all connected with the energy of our apartment. But you must always remember: if you suddenly have problems, first of all you need to check if everything is in order with the apartment. Are there any destructive entities there, is the energy moving in the right direction, etc.

Anastasia told me that the Aspen Peg helps with this.

How to make the Aspen Peg gain its Power

The Aspen Peg is necessarily prepared from living aspen and therefore the Living Tree ritual is used.

Living Tree Ritual

To perform the ritual you will need:

Knife and scissors, new ones that have never been used to cut anything. The scissors must be all-metal, the knife must have a wooden handle, it can also be made entirely of metal;

A linen bag made of natural, undyed fabric, the size of a regular sheet of paper.

This ritual should be performed before 11 am. The day should be clear, sunny, without clouds. The moon must be waxing.

You can look for the tree you need either in the forest or in a park or square. To perform this ritual, you should first turn your face to the east and read the following words:

My mother, Mother Earth, kind and almighty.

I know you love me, you love me

Will you help me.

You will help me, you will protect me.

You are a blooming garden, you are the blue seas.

You are the blue seas, you are the high mountains.

You are high mountains, you are green forests.

You are green forests, you are fast rivers.

You are my home, you are my soul. We are one.

Show me a bright day.

Save me on the starry night.

Protect me from evil misfortune.

Give me happiness and give me love.

I am your child.

A knife or scissors (whichever is more convenient) should be taken only in the right hand, even if you are left-handed. Before cutting a branch, you should read these words:

My dear friends! My green friends!

You will give us joy, Health, Happiness and Love!

The cut parts of the tree should be immediately placed in a linen bag, tied tightly and said:

Thank you, dears.

Thank you good ones

For Joy, for Happiness, for Goodness and Love!

Then you should bow first to the tree itself, and then to the forest (or park) as a whole.

When the aspen branch is cut, they begin to make the Aspen Peg.

The peg is cut using the same knife that took part in the ritual. The peg should be small, its length should correspond to the width of your palm.

It is very important that one of its ends is sharpened and the other is cut evenly.

To do this, take the peg with the point up in your right hand, clench your hand into a fist and extend it. Next, go to the kitchen sink, go to the toilet and into the bathroom. At the fracture site, your hand will tremble or even twitch. If this does not happen in one go, go around all these places again, do this until the Peg shows you the place.

When the place is found, you need to perform the ritual of Driving the Peg.

To do this, taking the Aspen Peg in your left hand with the tip inward and holding it suspended, with your right hand we slam it with the words:

Let the bad go away

And good things will come (three times),

Aspen peg, get up in your place,

Protect your house from evil!

Then the Peg must be wrapped in new white cotton cloth and hidden somewhere in the same room where the fault is located. The protective properties of the Aspen Peg do not weaken over time; it is effective as long as it is located next to the fault.

Correct appeal. Tips and prohibitions

The Aspen Peg goes well with all Objects of Power and other magical things and substances. This amulet has practically no enemies; it is so strong that its effect is almost impossible to destroy.

What else can the Aspen Peg do?

To protect your home from all evil spirits

“There are such bad houses that it’s like a black net has been thrown over them; everything bad that happens to be nearby is collected in that net. Over time, a “rich” catch of all kinds of black stuff can accumulate in such a dwelling, and people feel very bad in this place. They are constantly sick and quarrel, many become drunkards, families often collapse in such houses, people die unexpected deaths. Such a network can be destroyed with the help of an Aspen Peg. There is a special ritual for this.”

This ritual is performed on the waning moon. It is best to do this when there is no one else in the entire apartment except yourself. In order to clean the entire apartment, you need to carry out a special cleansing in each of the rooms, even in the hallway, bathroom, toilet and corridors, removing the network and at the same time expelling the negative entities entangled in it. To do this, in each room you need to stand in the middle with an Aspen Peg in your right hand, and “draw” a cross over the floor with it, saying the following spell words:

Black network, pull yourself into the Peg,

Never go back.

And everything that happened to you

Take me to another world.

When you have treated all the rooms of the apartment in this way, stand at the threshold, facing out of the house, and repeat the words of the hex three more times. After this, return the Aspen Peg to its place, thanking it at the same time. This cleaning can be done once a year.

To close the door to another world after the death of a relative

Anastasia explained to me that many ancient rituals, which we consider superstitions, are in fact very necessary and important. It is imperative to follow them, and if you do not do it as prescribed, various troubles can occur. There are many rituals associated with the death of a close relative, and these rituals actually perform a protective function; it is especially important, as Anastasia says, “to close the door to that world so that what is not needed does not break out to us.”

This ritual can be performed at any time, but no later than three years after the person’s death. But still, it is best if it is a new moon, since the moon is not a helper in such matters. At midnight you need to stand at the front door facing the exit and, holding the Peg in your left hand, say:

I close the door to darkness,

I call upon the heavenly light,

I call the peg a lock,

No one can get through the door

A peg stands in the way.

Then transfer it to your right hand, be sure to thank it out loud and return it to its place.

The same must be done on the site, driving in pegs in the corners and under the main gate. Then pour the holy water over these pegs in which they were placed while they were charging. Remember, it is aspen pegs that are needed that aliens from dark worlds avoid. No wonder it is said: “ Aspen is not wood" And " There are no devils in the aspen forest" Inside the apartment or home, hang a bunch of red hot pepper or a juniper branch above the main entrance.

TREMBLING TREE

Aspen is a protector from evil spirits, theft, damage and the evil eye. A trembling tree absorbs negative energy. An aspen stake is a powerful weapon against evil spirits and everything bad. It’s not for nothing that bathhouses in Rus' were built from aspen. Aspen is a comforter for women who have lost loved ones and relatives.

Ancient magicians made caskets out of it for storing magical items. Aspen removes fear and averts death. At the same time, aspen is a greedy tree: it is not recommended for a healthy person to sleep in an aspen grove, as it can take more energy than required, and the person will experience headaches and apathy.

To protect the house from the evil eye, evil spirits and uninvited guests, you need to plant several
aspen You can leave a place for a bench under the aspen trees and spend time there with incomprehensible melancholy and confusion.

Aspen bracelets and rings serve as excellent protection from the harmful influences of the other world, from family curses, as well as from troubles that were caused by your own envy, condemnation and anger.

Aspen jewelry cleanses the aura and absorbs negative energy. In Rus', it was believed that pets held through aspen rods on St. George's night were protected from the evil eye and damage.

How to properly prepare aspen pegs? They must be planed, placed in a container with blessed water, while saying: “Most Holy God, save and protect my house from all evil spirits, as well as from thieves, enemies and other adversaries.” Afterwards, read the “Our Father” at least seven times.

Then the aspen pegs need to be tied to form a cross, and strengthened (can be nailed) over the doors in the house. To make it even more fun, hang a bunch of garlic, hot red pepper or a juniper branch above the front door of the house and inside it.

On a plot of land, it is necessary to drive pegs in its corners and under the gates. After all the pegs are installed, water them with the same water in which they were charged.

MAPLE YOU ARE MINE

Maple is the tree closest to humans in terms of energy. Helps with stress, depression, promotes
gaining peace of mind, self-confidence, giving a charge of vigor and good mood. The tree of harmony balances all energy flows - both in the house and in a person. Maple takes on all emotional outbursts and frees you from negativity.

Such amulets can be of any shape - in the form of beads, pendants, animal figurines, etc. When creating an amulet, tune in to the person you are protecting and simply give him a piece of yourself.

If you have never noticed your artistic talent, just give your loved one a maple twig. Usually amulets are kept at home and kept for life. There is a sign: if after the death of the giver the maple branch cracks, it means you are remembered and protected even from the other world!

WHITE BIRCH UNDER MY WINDOW

The Slavs have always had a special relationship with this tree. Birch was valued for its medicinal properties and was considered a warm, homely tree. Russian peasants wore bast shoes made of birch bark, which prevented rheumatism! Cradles for children were made only from birch.

Many amulets were made from birch bark. By the way, even the word “amulet” has a common root with the words “birch bark” and “birch”. It was believed that the special - solar - energy of the birch stands guard over the defenseless, protects them from evil.

The most powerful magical talisman was called a sharkunok. It was worn around the neck like an amulet, and inside it was filled with cereals. In a moment of danger, you just had to shake the sharkun so that the cereal would make noise. This action drove away evil spirits. And the cereal could be cooked in a cast iron over a fire if there was no other food. So the sharkunok is a real Russian “two in one” invention.

Making a sharkun is not difficult. It is enough to make a small box the size of an amulet from birch bark. To make birch bark obedient, it is first soaked in boiling water, due to which it becomes elastic and bends well. The finished box is secured with rubber bands and soaked in boiling water again to give it shape.

After drying, the sharkunok is filled with any cereal - millet, pearl barley, rice. Sharkunok is good for children. In the absence of parents, he will protect the child from misfortunes, you just need to rattle the grains like a rattle. The sharkun can also be hung on a cradle.

An excellent amulet for girls is a birch bark ring that drives away bad thoughts and attracts your betrothed. You shouldn't wear a ring all the time. If it helped during severe depression, rinse it with running cold water, preferably in a stream, but you can also under a tap, dry it with a towel and place it on a ventilated windowsill for a week or two. Make sure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight.

A wonderful amulet is brooms made from birch branches. Carefully pick off several branches with leaves (no more than 5-6 cm long), wrap them in birch bark and dry them. Then go around the entire apartment with a broom, fanning every corner, and place it in the place where you feel a response from it in your hand. Repeat the ritual once a month. This will help protect your home from negative energy and bring warmth and comfort to your home.

ALDER EARRING, LIKE DOWN

Alder is a wonderful assistant in the fight against diseases and damage. Pendants made from it can also improve marital relationships if worn at the same time and if there is a desire to correct these relationships. In order for the disagreement to quickly become a thing of the past, you need to invest a lot of time and effort into creating such an amulet.

Select suitable branches on the tree, ask him to forgive him for cutting them, then carefully clear them of bark and bury them near some pond at a depth of about a meter. Remember this place, come there once a week or two, stand right in this place for several minutes, water it with the water in which you washed your hands. If you believe in God, read a prayer; if not, just feel the energy of the place.

After six months, dig up the branches. Alder practically does not rot, and by clearing the top layer, you will get an excellent pliable material for a talisman. Cut out the pendants in the shape you like and wear them with your loved one. The power of the tree and your love will overcome all adversity.

BLACK ELDERBERRY

Our ancestors have always treated this tree with love. Elderberry was considered the best protector from the machinations of evil spirits and diseases. Indeed, elderberry saves from 33 misfortunes: gout, burns, rheumatism, constipation, colds and much more. Elderberry is the brownie's first friend, therefore, in order to please him, you need to keep at least a sprig of elderberry in the house. Then the brownie will be favorable to you.

But elderberry quickly drives away various evil spirits from the home. But for this you need to perform rituals from time to time. Light a dry elderberry sprig so that it barely smolders, and fumigate the room with it. When it burns halfway, extinguish it by blowing on it and throw it under your feet. Hide the wand either under the threshold or behind the door frame.

KING OAK

Probably, our ancestors did not respect any other tree as much as this one. Oak was considered the most noble of all trees. Our ancestors believed that the oak tree was under the protection of storms and thunder.

Events fateful for the life of the community were held near the sacred oaks - farewells to war, courts, weddings, trade deals. The oak was revered as a sacred tree, and the older the tree, the more respect it received.

Oak bark cannot be ignited, and things made of oak are not subject to rotting even in sea water. Perhaps people have always idolized this tree for these qualities. Oak - a symbol of strength, power, masculinity - was most often used as a talisman for the stronger sex. Knives were carved from oak for the boys. After the wedding, the newlyweds always went to the oak tree and walked around it three times.

It was planted near the house to protect it from lightning and hail. If a couple dreamed of a son, an oak tree was planted near the house. With its help, the sick were treated: hair cut from them was placed in a hollow, and water was poured under the tree, in which the weak were bathed.

If you dream of powerful protection for your home, healthy, strong offspring, prosperity and well-being of your family, there is only one piece of advice - plant an oak tree near your house. You won't know grief!

Natalya KUVSHINOVA

Once upon a time, our ancestors lived in harmony with nature and believed in its mystical power. They believed that all plants have their own energy and knew how to interact with them correctly. Trees were especially revered - healers of body and soul. However, people have a mixed opinion about aspen.

According to legend, the cross of Jesus Christ was made from this tree, so it is considered cursed, and after the crucifixion, the traitor Judas hanged himself on an aspen, realizing the horror of what he had done. Since then, it has been believed that its leaves “tremble with fear.” However, in some rituals, aspen is used as a talisman against evil spirits. Let's take a closer look at folk signs about this tree.

You can't plant aspen near your house

The unwanted proximity can be explained simply - this tree belongs to the category of powerful energy vampires of the plant world. Moreover, it takes away both positive and negative energy, so even after a short stay nearby a person feels weakness, headache and apathy.

Aspen on the site is a bad omen that promises illness and family troubles. To avoid causing trouble, you should not use its wood as firewood for a stove or fireplace, or when building a home.

Planting aspen near a house or cottage (less than 50 m from the building) is also dangerous from a practical point of view. The tree grows quickly, but its trunk is often susceptible to heart rot. The disease develops unnoticed, gradually destroying the aspen from the inside. Outwardly it looks healthy, but in a strong wind it can fall on the house or its inhabitants.

Interesting!

Despite this, the use of aspen wood in the construction of steam rooms in baths is completely acceptable. This breed is very resistant to temperature changes and does not rot in water for a long time.

If a tree has already grown near the house, then according to the signs, it needs to be cut down, the stump completely uprooted and burned all together. Such radical measures will help avoid misfortunes.

The sorcerer, in order to become invisible or turn into a wolf, had to somersault over an aspen stump. Witches used tree branches to make a potion. An old belief says that a person who wants to make friends with a goblin should call him at night, standing on fallen aspen trees in the forest.

A tree growing near a house becomes the abode of evil entities that can lure one of the household members to the side of dark forces. Aspen branches will help you find out whether someone in the family has become a minion of the evil one. They need to be cut at midnight and placed in front of the mirror. If after a few hours they darken or the bark begins to peel off, then evil spirits have settled in the house.

Amulet from evil spirits

The Slavs had a ritual - on Kupala night they stuck aspen branches into the walls of the stable and on both sides of the gate. They protected livestock from the tricks of witches - stealing milk and causing damage. The new horse was forced to step over an aspen beam laid at the entrance gate.

An aspen stake is the most famous means of destroying vampires and werewolves. It was driven into the chest of a deceased person at a funeral to prevent him from becoming a “walking dead man.”

Interesting!

If the deceased did not die a natural death, a stake was driven into the grave or an aspen cross was placed on it.

Aspen “takes away” diseases

In the old days, it was believed that if a sick person was planted on a freshly cut stump, the tree would accept his illness. In exchange for healing, he must promise the aspen never to harm it: not to break its branches, not to chop or burn.

For the same purpose, the patient’s personal belongings were buried under a tree. At a time when the cholera epidemic was raging, small felled aspen trees were driven into the ground on four sides of the village. It was believed that such a ritual could protect its inhabitants from the invasion of disease.
