And not only by signs, but also from purely practical reasons.
If you believe the popular saying, a man’s life cannot be considered successful if he does not plant a tree next to his own house built. But there is still the question of which tree to plant! If you believe folk signs, the choice must be approached very carefully. And a house on the ground, next to which there is no tree – it seems as if it is not a house at all. We decided to figure out which signs have common sense, and which ones are not very good.
The energy of this tree is very good, according to esotericism. And she heals the air by her mere presence. But remember what pine forests look like: rows of trees and yellow soil from fallen needles. No grass, no shrubs. The thing is that the pine tree creates a thick shadow. At the same time, the soil is practically not enriched with humus, because there is no foliage, and there is no sense from the needles. Therefore, nothing grows next to the pine tree.
The Christmas tree does not shade the site so much as to worry about it, but signs oppose it. Popular beliefs claim that this tree takes energy from the inhabitants of the house, ruins the harvest, and brings trouble. Moreover, men survive. The roots of this sign are growing in the tradition of covering the dead with fir branches before burial. A persistent negative association has developed over the centuries.
A very convenient plant – it does not require much care, it looks great, and with proper care from the thuja, you can create a magnificent hedge. But the signs about her are contradictory. On the one hand, thuja drives away evil spirits, so it is an excellent choice as a hedge. On the other hand, it prevents the girl from this house from getting married. So-so choice.
What could be more romantic than a birch tree under the window? The birch behind the gate, the folk omen is responsible. Growing behind a fence, this tree will protect the house from evil eyes and various evil spirits. And in the yard it will negatively affect the women’s health of the inhabitants of the house, it may even provoke infertility. However, there is also a rational grain in the horrors around the birch: next to it, other plants survive with difficulty – the birch takes from the soil all the water that it can reach with its branched roots.
On the one hand, this tree is a symbol of longevity. On the other hand, they say that as soon as one of the family members gets sick, the oak will instantly suck the remnants of vitality out of him. they say, he only supports the strong in body and spirit. And the head of the family is in the greatest danger. First of all, his oak will test its strength. And if a man is not too healthy or not too brave, then the oak will try to get rid of him. And if we talk about the rational, then the tree has too powerful roots – they can shake the foundation of the house.
Under these names one and the same tree is hidden, equally undesirable in the yard of the house. Some species of willow are called weeping for a reason – if one is planted next to a dwelling, then its inhabitants will weep for most of their life. The scariest part of the omen: the one who plants the willow will die that same year. And if you plant this tree in honor of the birth of a baby, it means doom him to an unhappy fate.
It is unlikely that anyone would think of planting an aspen next to the house, but if it suddenly comes, it is not necessary. First, the reputation of the tree was badly damaged by the Bible. After all, Judas Iscariot hanged himself on this tree. Secondly, Russian folk signs say that aspen will bring misfortune and grief to the family. At the very least, the inhabitants of the house will be attacked by chronic apathy, depression and enduring fatigue.
There is no esotericism here, pure pragmatics. Poplar is one of the most unwanted trees in the city. The fact is that it is quite fragile, because it has a hollow barrel. therefore, from strong gusts of wind, the poplar can break and do a lot of troubles. Well, poplar fluff, again, to which many people are allergic.
And even necessary! Folk omens are very practical in approaching the issue, recommending planting fruit and berry trees in the yard and on the site. Rowan, pear, cherry, rosehip, viburnum and apple – all these plants have wonderful energy, bring peace to the family, give good luck and help to get married well.
Of the “impractical” trees, signs recommend planting maple, juniper (by the way, the seasoning from it is very good), larch and acacia. It’s beautiful too!
