YEASTING TREE
Aspen is a protector from evil spirits, theft, damage and evil eye. A trembling tree absorbs negative energy. The aspen stake is a powerful weapon against evil spirits and all that is bad. No wonder in Russia baths were built from aspen. Aspen is a comforter of women who have lost loved ones and relatives.
Ancient magicians made caskets out of it for storing magical items. Aspen relieves 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 is required, and a person will be provided with a headache and apathy.
To protect the house from the evil eye, evil spirits and uninvited guests, you need to plant several aspen trees around it. You can leave a place for a bench under the aspen trees and spend time there with an incomprehensible melancholy and confusion.
Aspen bracelets and rings serve as an 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.
