What are you crying about, Plakun-flower?
Plakun-Grass for all herbs MatiMother's tears and the sadness of the earth Have risen like a weeper-flower from the earth.
"The mother of all herbs is plakun-grass. With this root, all herbs must be collected, and any herb will receive its strength," says an old herbalist. Tear every weed with the verdict: "Weed from the earth, but medicine from God." Speak three times, staying clean. Second: "The sky is the father, the earth is the mother, and you are the grass, let me tear you." In Rus', they have always treated plakun-grass with respect. It is believed that plakun-grass has great magical and healing power. Healers used it in their conspiracies, and ordinary people tried to have it in their home as a talisman against misfortunes and illnesses. It is also called wild cornflower, and oak forest, and coast, and blood, and willow-grass. If you collect medicinal herbs - always have a plakun-grass with you. Put it and when drying among other plants.
A verse in the Pigeon Book to the question: What herb answers to all mother's herbs: "... Plakun-Grass to all Mother's herbs. Why Plakun-Grass to all Mother's herbs? When she grieved for the sorrows of the Russian Land.
This wonderful plant is known from ancient legends. The Pigeon Book says that it grew out of the tears of the Virgin shed during the agony of Jesus Christ:
"Mother, the Most Pure Theotokos, For Jesus Christ wept a lot, For her son, for her beloved; She dropped the most pure tears On mother on the damp earth; From those tears from the most pure, Plakun-Grass was born; Therefore, Plakun-Grass to Mati's herbs."
"The Mother of God cried the Mother of God, And Plakun-Grass wiped herself, Because Plakun-Grass Mati all herbs ..."
Plakun-Grass - "Mati to all herbs." It allows you to command the spirits, to master the treasures. She humbles the satanic forces, makes them obedient to the will of man, destroys the spells of sorcerers and witches, saves from the devil's temptation and disease, a cross made of this grass, put on a demoniac, casts out demons from him. Platonov
The old slander contained detailed instructions for the collection and use of a magical agent: "Collect plakun-grass at the morning dawn on Midsummer Day. As you dig, take off all the iron, otherwise the root will not be given to your hands and will not have strength." And when you start digging, say: "Cryer! Cryer! You cried a lot and a lot, but you cried a little, do not roll your tears across the open field, do not spread your howl across the blue sea! Be afraid of evil demons, half-demons, old Kiev witches! And they will not give you submission, drown them in tears; but they will run away from your disgrace, shut them up in the pits of the underworld. May my word be strong and firm with you. Age of ages!"
And it was also ordered to keep plakun-grass clean, to give livestock with restless behavior, to put beds in the heads of children with insomnia. According to experienced herbalists, in the flowers and root of Plakun-grass is its main power. The root of this "mother of all herbs" conceals a power that protects faint-hearted people from any temptation.
Some refer the name "Plakun" to Ivan-tea (epilobium angustifolium), others to meadow St. : http://www.florets.ru
"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! Be afraid of evil demons, half-demons, old Kiev witches! them in tears, but if they run away from your disgrace, lock them up in the pits of the underworld. May my word be strong and firm with you.
According to experienced herbalists, in the flowers and root of Plakun-grass is its main power. The root of this "mother of all herbs" conceals a power that protects faint-hearted people from any temptation.
Some attribute the name "Plakun" to Ivan-tea (epilobium angustifolium), others to meadow St.
In the first case, "Plakun" is curative as "breaking poultices." This plant, which blooms in June-July, is very often found on forest edges, on mountain slopes and in gardens in wooded areas.
In the second case, the common folk healers attribute to it a multi-healing power, as well as a "dilutive and antihelminthic." They also treat consumption in the rural wilderness. Village healers collect it in flood meadows and forest lowlands, dry it and use it both in the form of powders and in the form of tinctures (in wine or water) for the most diverse diseases. With a favorable outcome of the treatment, they attribute the main force to their slander-whispers, and in case of an unfortunate one, they refer to the fact that the sick person followed the medical instructions without faith in their power. In one old medical book, published at the beginning of the 19th century and compiled according to folk remedies in connection with their scientific evaluation, some advice was given, and in conclusion - with ingenuous frankness - it was said: "If it does not help, bury with honor." Our common healers could say the same thing if they were required to explain the verbal science of healing adopted from their great-grandfathers.
Wild cornflowers ("Plakun") give, according to the assurances of not only healers, but also real doctors, help in the treatment of jaundice. Water infused with their flowers is one of the remedies against eye diseases in general, and lacrimation is a particular one.
In all cases, "grass to all herbs of the mother" (to take it for this or that plant) is a good grass that gives people a lot of help - it's not for nothing that the popular rumor is winged and says that it was born for the first time in God's white world from the most pure tears of the Mother of God shed by the Ever-Virgin according to Her beloved son, who brought the dark world the Light of salvation.
