In Russia, they were sure that if a flower was plucked, depriving it of its roots, then, fighting for its life, it would begin to absorb the surrounding energy of the place where it was. With his wilting, he seemed to personify death, which is why healers always dried herbs in separate buildings, where neither people nor animals lived.
And in many Slavic countries, the ridiculous tradition of giving plucked flowers has not yet taken root, they believe that their place is only in the cemetery.
So, the great Bulgarian soothsayer Vanga, sensing that a man with a bouquet of flowers entered her room, jumped up and shouted not to bring death into her house.
Although the person did this not with some evil intention, but only in order to show respect and love (so he, at least, believed).
In our recent history, we have been taught that a bouquet of flowers is a symbol of love, and we carry them home without any fear for any reason.
At the beginning of the second millennium AD, Byzantine priests who flooded Russia then began to actively plant the tradition of decorating houses and churches with plucked flowers, trying thereby to destroy one of the most ancient Slavic truths about a dead flower sucking vitality from all that exists.
It so happened that it was the Russian scientists, the Kirlian spouses, who experimented with plucked plants and placed them in a high-voltage field, who saw an amazing glow in the pictures.

The petals were exactly the same, plucked at the same time, but with only one difference - the first flower remained in the ground, and the second was cut. So, the glow emitted under the influence of high voltage turned out to be different - the glow of the second petal was weak and barely perceptible, as if screaming - I am dying.

Scientists tried to apply this discovery in the diagnosis of human diseases, and this led to a sensational discovery of the mystical aura of a person, which they finally managed to see. The aura of a sick or dying person exactly matched the glow around a plucked flower.
No matter how beautiful the presented plucked flowers are, we must agree that the pictures of wilted plants are simply disheartening.
Therefore, having decided to make a flower gift, make a choice in favor of fresh flowers in a pot. Having decided to pick a flower in a field or in a flower bed, remember the pain that you will deliver to the plant, and in fact it, like all life on the planet, also wants to live.
By the way, it was not customary for the Slavs to cut down the New Year tree.
All living things need roots, only by holding on to the roots, humanity has a chance to survive. Our distant Ancestors probably knew this, and today it would not hurt us to learn from them how to treat ourselves and the world around us in order to learn to live anew in harmony with the Universe.
