It should not be discarded.

Chapter 2

In Rus', the healing properties of plants have been known since ancient times. From time immemorial, magicians, sorcerers and healers treated people with herbs.

in many monasteries learned monks collected and dried medicinal plants, which were given in Greek herbalists. Many medicinal herbs were brought to the royal court from other countries. Thus, a science was created, which today has become known as phytotherapy.

The first compilers and keepers of medical prescriptions in Rus' were the Magi - ancient Slavic priests who studied the healing effects of plants. The pagan worldview that prevailed at that time gave the treatment a supernatural character. It was believed that the Magi not only knew the methods of treatment, but also owned sorcery. Later, they were replaced by greengrocers - connoisseurs of "potions" of herbs and healers - that was the name of doctors then. In many ancient Russian cities there were green shops and green rows, where everything needed for various diseases was sold - herbs, roots, all kinds of oils and ointments. Shopkeepers and greengrocers not only sold herbs, but also prepared complex medicinal compositions. In villages where more people lived, and the opportunity to be treated by doctors was reduced to a minimum, more often they turned to healers, fortune-tellers, grandmothers-whisperers. For them, "treatment" was a kind of work, and quite profitable. And the more perfect they knew the herbs, the more complex the preparations were, choosing comparable components, the more people came to them for treatment. However, before treating, the necessary plants had to be found, plucked, dried, preserving the life-giving gift of Nature. The ancient healers had their secrets.

In Rus', the collection of herbs was timed to coincide with the day of Agrafena-bathing (July 6, according to a new style). It and the following day of Ivan Kupala (July 7) coincided with the mass flowering of medicinal plants. According to folk legends, on these nights, plants could talk and, if a person with good intentions approached them, they revealed to him the secrets of healing.

The herbalists - that was the name of the collectors of medicinal plants - pulled out each herb with a special spell: “Lord, bless! And you, mother earth, bless this weed to pick! You gave birth to her for a person - in every way, for the benefit of a person: therefore I take you ... Grass from the earth, and medicine from God. Amen. Amen. Amen"

Before the night gathering of forest herbs, it was necessary to fast. Plants were recommended to be collected away from housing, "where you can not hear the cock's cry." Before picking the grass, one had to throw off all the clothes, bathe in the dew and read a special spell. It was believed that the plant would have medicinal power only if the herbalist or herbalist had a previously dug up root of the weed-grass. “There is plakun-grass, it grows near lakes, it is high as an arrow, the color of crimson and that grass is very good. It is suitable to keep clean in huts or carry it with you on the way, the unclean spirit will not touch and tear the grass with this root, have it with you, and when you do not have this root with you, then hosha after applying the grass to the plakunov root, then there will be any grass to have its own strength, and cut a cross out of it and carry good things with you.” According to popular beliefs, weeping grass drove away evil witchcraft and helped people, because it appeared from the tears of the Virgin Mary, who mourned the crucified Son. With a bunch of grass in their hands, the collector or herb collector stood facing the east and said: “Plakun, plakun! You cried for a long time and a lot, but you cried a little. Do not roll your tears across the open field, do not carry your howl across the blue sea. Herbalists were recommended to have a special bench with them, which was made from nine species of only coniferous trees. When the plant was pulled out of the ground, it was necessary to kneel on this bench and at the same time say: “Heaven is the father, earth is the mother, and you, grass, let yourself be torn.” Thus herbalists expressed their respectful, careful attitude to a plant that had the healing power they were going to use.

From time immemorial, special rules existed and were sacredly observed, which all collectors remembered and followed. Firstly, it was allowed to tear so that "the grass would not hurt." Secondly, it was impossible to tear all the grass, you can only take a little from "a lot." It was considered a sin to collect herbs, especially poisonous ones, in order to harm others.

Over time, women increasingly began to take part in the Kupala collection of medicinal herbs, since initially they were closer to nature. They used healing and magical herbs for purely practical purposes - to treat their loved ones, to enhance their attractiveness and preserve youth. It was women who, during the collection of Ivanovo flowers and herbs, began to sing special Kupala songs, convinced that without this peculiar rite, the collected plants lost their healing power, even if they were consecrated in the church.

On Ivan Kupala, women made stocks of medicinal herbs for the whole year. Preference was given to proven ones, such as Ivan da Marya, centaury, Rosichka, swimsuit, St. Men were more likely to look for a fern, since, according to legend, with its help it was possible to find a treasure hidden in the ground. After collecting the herbs, they brought them into the house and put them in a cold place until the next day, and in the morning they were taken to the church for consecration. Collected during this period and consecrated herbs had a special healing power.

Herbalists of the past believed that bees show the best places and times for collecting herbs, and therefore plants should be taken where there are a lot of them. When collecting medicinal plants, weather conditions were also taken into account: “... sometimes the summer is student-like, once it’s very hot,” because they influenced the effectiveness of the prepared drug. Interesting advice has come down to us today traditional healers. So, the best for the treatment of the patient are herbs collected in the area where he lives. Some herbs should be collected for treatment only at midnight and on a new moon, others - during a flawed month, others - in the absence of a moon. It was believed that during the full moon, the plant absorbs more water than at other times. Hence the conclusion: the herbs dry longer and at the same time lose more healing substances. Poisonous plants were recommended to be collected only at night.

Advice on drying plants has survived to this day. For example, the roots should be “digged up and cleaned and thoroughly washed and dried, so that the moisture will dry up.” An interesting and still used recommendation for drying wild rose flowers: “the color of the svoroborina needs to be dried in the wind, and not in the sun, or they gave the sun through the window or through the towel, often their twisted one.” In the ancient herbalists, clear instructions and warnings were given regarding the shelf life and the possibility of falsification of raw materials: “Many deceivers who seduce people and sell forest angelica root for garden sell and the master is seduced by this and the treatment is imperfect.”

In the hallway of an old house
protective herbs hang,

healing power rite.

Kohl with goodness enter this house,

from trouble, from sadness, separation -
happiness to joy
forever give.

Kol with evil

12 magical plants of the Rosicrucian Order

A sixteen-year-old German youth from a poor noble family named Christian Rosencreutz makes a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, then travels to Turkey, through the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, where he joins the sacred, secret wisdom. He expounds the acquired knowledge in Latin in the book "M". After that, following the instructions of the eastern sages, he goes to Morocco, all the magicians with whom he communicated passed on their knowledge to him. Having mastered open wisdom, Rosencreutz understands the main idea: a person must be in harmony with the Creator, Heaven and Earth. Life, actions, words of man, politics, religion, health must be in harmony with the Omnipresent. All diseases are from the evil one.
He returns to Europe, meets with the best Western scientists, who laugh at him and reject his "greatest gifts".

However, by that time the world itself was waiting for changes, reforms, many scientists were not satisfied with the rigid paradigms of Galen, Porfiry, Aristotle. Among them was Paracelsus, who subsequently did not join any Brotherhood, but, having read the book "M", was convinced of the correctness of his assumptions and discovery. Rosenkreutz returns to Germany, realizing that scientific world filled with talkative philosophers, healers who hate occult knowledge, magic, astrology, that the time for reform has not yet come and retires in his house, indulging in scientific pursuits. Later, he passed on all his knowledge to three students. They wrote down the Teaching, which later served as the basis for the creation of the Brotherhood. The name of the Brotherhood comes from the surname of the founder, the German surname Rosencreutz means a pink cross, or rather a cross of roses. Thus, the Brotherhood (of the Rose and the Cross) was founded by only four people, later their number increased to eight. Their program included leaving worldly affairs, wearing monastic clothes, free healing, the secret of brotherhood for a hundred years. The Rosicrucians used the R.C. Christian Rosenkreutz himself died at the age of one hundred and six, his body was given over to a secret burial. For the initiation into the Order of new members, the first Manifesto was written, which had a powerful resonance. Creative people admired the beauty and skill of presenting the material; learned minds tried to catch snatches of ancient wisdom; mystics and magicians were attracted to noble causes; politicians seized opportunities to comprehend the subtle art of restoring peace, order and balance; money-grubbers saw him as an opportunity for enrichment; sick - hope for healing. The emblem of the order was a black cross - a symbol of the physical body, entwined with seven red roses - a symbol of plant-like, purified blood.

Rosicrucian medicine was based on twelve magical plants (note: twelve, like the twelve signs of the Zodiac, the twelve houses of the horoscope, twelve hours a.m. and twelve hours after noon):

Arnica
wrestler blue
Butterbur
Valerian
Verbena
Heliotrope
Gentian
St. John's wort
Mandrake
Rose
Alpine cudweed
Fuchsia

Various combinations of these plants created a formula for success not only in the form of healing, but also an increase in life expectancy.

Magic plants of the Rosicrucian order (Plants according to the sign of the Zodiac) The development of knowledge in any field has always been accompanied by dangers, secrets, intrigues .. And the best confirmation of this is the creation of the Orders. It was in the Orders that the knowledge that had been accumulated over the centuries was stored. Today we will talk about the magic of the Rosicrucian order. There are several versions of the origin of this order. But we do not have a history lesson, so we will focus on the generally accepted one. A certain young man of 16 years old, from a poor noble family, probably unaware of his magical abilities, makes a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, then travels to Turkey, through the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, where he joins the sacred, secret wisdom. On the way to Morocco, he meets with elder magicians who pass on their knowledge to him. The young man returns to Europe and tries to tell his knowledge there. Muggle scholars ridicule him and his theories. But, being already quite strong magician , he decides to establish his own Order and pass on secrets only to a select few. Secluded in his house, he writes a book and passes on his knowledge to the first students. The Brotherhood of the Rose and Cross is created (the German surname Rosencreutz means the pink cross, or rather the cross of roses). The signature on the documents looked like the seal of R.C. Their program included leaving worldly affairs, wearing monastic clothes, free healing, the secret of brotherhood for a hundred years. A manifesto was written, which led to the admiration of many people. Creative people liked the skill of presenting the material and beauty, scientists caught snippets of ancient wisdom in the text, the noble goals of the Brotherhood attracted magicians, etc. The emblem of the order was a black cross - a symbol of the physical body, entwined with seven red roses - a symbol of vegetable-like, purified blood. An interesting fact is that the Brotherhood was in sight for 108 years, then it went underground for 108 years and after 108 years it was again revived to an active life. But it's still a story :) And we are interested in the medicine of the Brotherhood. It was based on twelve magical plants (probably using the sexagesimal system adopted by ancient Egypt and Babylon). Various combinations of the plants listed below created a formula for success not only in the form of healing, but also to increase life expectancy. Knowledge of astrology was used by the Rosicrucians in order to correlate these magical plants used in the healing and healing process with the characteristics of the signs of the Zodiac. According to their properties, each of these 12 plants correlates with one or another sign of the Zodiac, as well as with a specific planet of our system. Description of plants can be found below. 12 magical plants: Arnica Fighter blue Butterbur Valerian Verbena Heliotrope Gentian St. John's wort Mandragora Rose Sushenitsa Fuchsia Basic plants are described in my Library. Perhaps others will be added later. But still it is worth mentioning each of these plants, at least a little. Arnica Arnica is a genus of perennial herbs in the Compositae family. The ancient Greek physician Dioscorides named the plant with its yellow, sunflower-like flowers ptarmica, which means "sneezing" in Greek. Indeed, the flowers and leaves of this plant cause sneezing. Later, the students of Dioscorides distorted the name of ptarmica, and the plant became known as arnica. The Rosicrucians used the flowers of this plant. Decoctions and tinctures of Arnica have a peculiar smell, a sharp bitter taste, which indicates a cold, airy, dry element of the plant (Aquarius). Infusions of flowers are used as a hemostatic agent in obstetric and gynecological practice. In the form of lotions or compresses for bruises, abrasions, hematomas, pustular diseases, light burns and frostbite. In addition, arnica has a choleretic effect. Wrestler blueWrestler blue (A. Napellus) - wrestler, buttercup blue, backache-grass - by Greek mythology, this plant grew from the foam that fell from the mouth of Cerberus when Hercules (11th of the twelve labors) pulled him out of the underworld. The plant was attributed the properties to drive away evil spirits, remove stones and sand from the kidneys and liver. In the Middle Ages, it was widely used in wedding ceremonies. He was placed under the threshold even before the arrival of the newlyweds at the groom's house. If the bride jumped over the threshold or the groom carried her over it in his arms, then all the slander, bad wishes for the bride came back and fell upon the ill-wishers. The triumph of law and retribution. The blue wrestler is associated with the sign of Capricorn, this is evidenced by the legend of his appearance ( underworld, underworld). Butterbur Butterbur (Petasites), podbel, a genus of perennial herbs of the Compositae family. Often blooms before the leaves open.

Time flows, everything changes, but almost all of these herbs are used in modern or traditional medicine even now. Knowledge of the past helps us today.

Today we will talk about the magic of the Rosicrucian order.

There are several versions of the origin of this order. But we do not have a history lesson, so we will focus on the generally accepted one. A certain young man of 16 years old, from a poor noble family, probably not knowing about his magical abilities, makes a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, then travels to Turkey, through the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, where he joins the sacred, secret wisdom. On the way to Morocco, he meets with elder magicians who pass on their knowledge to him.

The young man returns to Europe and tries to tell his knowledge there. Muggle scholars ridicule him and his theories. But, being already quite a strong magician, he decides to found his own Order and pass on the secrets only to the elect.

Secluded in his house, he writes a book and passes on his knowledge to the first students. The Brotherhood of the Rose and Cross is created (the German surname Rosencreutz means the pink cross, or rather the cross of roses). The signature on the documents looked like the seal of R.C. Their program included leaving worldly affairs, wearing monastic clothes, free healing, the secret of brotherhood for a hundred years. A manifesto was written, which led to the admiration of many people.

Creative people liked the skill of presenting the material and beauty, scientists caught in In the text, fragments of ancient wisdom, the noble goals of the Brotherhood attracted magicians, etc. The emblem of the order was a black cross - a symbol of the physical body, entwined with seven red roses - a symbol of vegetable-like, purified blood.

An interesting fact is that the Brotherhood was in sight for 108 years, then it went underground for 108 years and after 108 years it was again revived to an active life.

But it's still a story :) And we are interested in the medicine of the Brotherhood. It was based on twelve magical plants (probably using the sexagesimal system adopted by ancient Egypt and Babylon).

Various combinations of the plants listed below created a formula for success not only in the form of healing, but also to increase life expectancy.

Knowledge of astrology was used by the Rosicrucians in order to correlate these magical plants used in the healing and healing process with the characteristics of the signs of the Zodiac. According to their properties, each of these 12 plants correlates with one or another sign of the Zodiac, as well as with a specific planet of our system.

12 magical plants:

Arnica.

A perennial herb that grows wild in the mountains. The Rosicrucians used arnica flowers. Decoctions and tinctures of Arnica have a peculiar smell, a sharp bitter taste, which indicates a cold, airy, dry element of the plant (Aquarius).

Since ancient times, the reducing and hemostatic effect on the uterus has been known.

In the Middle Ages, Arnica was widely used in gynecological practice. In addition, it has a choleretic effect.

Aquarius is responsible for the hormonal background, for the gallbladder, in addition, the very nature of the plant and the zone of its growth indicate the connection of Arnica with this zodiac sign, ruled by Uranus.

Wrestler blue or Aconite..

According to Greek mythology, this plant grew from the foam that fell from the mouth of Cerberus when Hercules (11th of twelve labors) pulled him out of hell. Poisonous. Other names Tsar-grass, Cover-grass. Drives away demons, evil spirits, removes stones and sand from the kidneys and liver.

In the Middle Ages, it was widely used in wedding ceremonies; it was placed under the threshold even before the newlyweds arrived at the groom's house.

If the bride jumped over the threshold or the groom carried her over it in his arms, then all the slander, bad wishes for the bride came back and fell upon the ill-wishers. The triumph of law and retribution.

The blue wrestler is associated with the sign of Capricorn and Saturn, this is evidenced by the legend of its appearance (underground kingdom, underworld), its healing properties (removal of sand, stones), wedding ceremonies testify to this.

Butterbur or mother - and - stepmother ..

Another name is kamchuzhnaya grass (Kamchug - unripe abscess). It has been widely used since ancient times for various chest diseases as an expectorant, anti-inflammatory agent; pus sucking agent.

Probably, any kid knows about the symbolism of the two sides of the leaf of this plant: the tender, soft, warm part is associated with the mother, and the hard, cold, slippery part is associated with the stepmother.

The legend (the image of the mother) and the main use in medicine (chest, lungs) indicate the sign - Cancer.

Valerian.

The Rosicrucians used valerian root, especially large plants were preferred.

Valerian was attributed hypnotic properties, it was believed that she could make a person walk on all fours, meow, howl, bite, scratch. But mostly Valerian is used for various kinds of nervous disorders, cough, bronchial asthma. Undoubtedly, Valerian belongs to the Gemini plants.

Verbena.

The ancients attributed wonderful qualities to Verbena, they assured that it helps to eliminate lies and fictitious rumors, strengthening alliances, reconciliation of the warring.
Ambassadors going to negotiate with the enemy always took Verbena with them. Druids were in awe of Verbena, in their opinion, she could heal any disease.

It was believed that if the room in which they eat is sprinkled with Verbena, then the feast will be very cheerful. A specially prepared drink from Verbena kindles love, enhances sexual desire. Ancient and medieval beauties used it as a cosmetic hair care product.

The name Verbena comes from Veneris vena - the vein of Venus. And as you know: love, sympathy, friendliness, partnership, mutual understanding, peaceful negotiations, attraction, beauty, hair, veins are under the sign of Libra (ruler Venus), therefore Verbena is attributed to Libra plants.

Heliotrope.

The connection with the Sun of this plant even reflects its name - Heliotropium (following the Sun). The flower is dedicated to Apollo.
It was believed that Heliotrope protects from enemies, helps a person to show his best qualities, advance, take an honorable position, promotes states of revelation.

All of these qualities and the name allows Heliotrope to be attributed to the plants of Leo (the ruler of the Sun) Gentian. A remedy known since antiquity, a typical representative of the group of “bitter” plants.

It has a pronounced bitter taste even at a dilution of 1:20,000, but this did not prevent its use as a good means of combating infectious diseases, for the treatment of difficult-to-heal wounds, gallbladder diseases, various inflammations, and also as an antipyretic and tonic. The plant of Scorpio (the ruler of Mars) has such properties.

St. John's wort.

A plant revered by many European nations. They preferred to collect it on Ivan's night Kupala.
In Germany, it was believed that a person is not afraid of any witchcraft, no damage, if he wears St. John's wort.

In southern Germany and Bohemia, St. John's wort was sewn into sashes and put into boots to protect against injuries to the lower back and limbs (Sagittarius control zone). The decoction washed the legs from fatigue as a result of a long walk.

The Rosicrucians used St. John's wort as a means of kindling a fire in the body, a means of dispersing the blood, protecting, protecting from evil spirits. St. John's wort is under the sign of Sagittarius (ruler Jupiter). And yes, the title confirms it.

The Rosicrucians knew all this, as well as the fact that Mandragora is a strong narcotic substance that can soothe pains and put a person into a state of sleep.

Its psychotropic qualities, the halo of legends, myths, dreams around the Mandragora testify to the nature close to the sign of Pisces (ruler Neptune).

Rose

The rose for the Rosicrucians was the flower of initiation, symbolizing love, patience, martyrdom, purity of idea, associated with Christ. Within the framework of this work, we cannot detail the legends about the symbolism of the Grail associated with the mysticism of blood.

We will only point out that Joseph of Arimathea, while washing the body of Christ, collected His Blood into a cup, which again began to ooze from Him. This Blood has taken all the influences of Christ incarnated in the human body, and is now free and pure.

Usually dark red blood is a symbol of the lower, animal passions in a person. Purified from all sin, the blood took on a vegetative character, became “the color of a rose.” It became a symbol of the cleansing power of Christ.

The Rosicrucians believed that the aroma of a rose acts refreshingly, strengthens, never intoxicates, gives new strength, ideas, relieves overwork, fatigue, headaches, makes everything around revive, renew, turn green.

The listed qualities, as well as the fact that for the Rosicrucians the rose was a special flower, the main one associated with the name of the founder, I think that it can be safely attributed to the sign of Aries (ruler Pluto).

Training “Corruption, evil eye, curse. Deliverance and protection”

The evil eye, corruption, curses - these words have only recently entered our lexicon, and today announcements about the removal of damage or the removal of the crown of celibacy are perceived as ordinary and do not cause surprise.

Around the concepts of "evil eye" and "damage" there is a lot of obscure, mysterious, and even completely far-fetched. Necessarily these words are associated with an evil eye, a sorcerer or a witch, a village grandmother.

In fact, the evil eye and damage akin to wounds or damage to our energy body, as a result of which not only the mental state, but also health can suffer. Distinguish household evil eye, obtained as a result of a surge of emotions of ordinary people, and received from "specialists". They differ in strength and duration of exposure.

Please note that there are not many real specialists in the world who are capable of cause serious damage to human health by magical methods. However, there are so-called "risk groups" most exposed to energy impact:

• Pregnant women and infants.

• People with low immunity have little rest, drink and smoke, work hard.

• Rude and foul-mouthed.

• Energy disruption.

Scary? May be. But there is another law of the universe that can protect you. Namely, the one that says that each person is fully responsible for his life and no one else can deprive him of his freedom of choice. That is You are able to make sure that not a single person on earth can harm you energetically.
