The magical properties of thistle

In this material we will look at another plant that has magical powers, including cleansing and protective effects.

Thistle (lat. Carduus), also known as thistle, prickly tartar, thistle, prickly burdock, is a weed (biennial) plant of the Asteraceae or Asteraceae family. It grows among grain crops, as well as in cultivated fields. Distributed in the countries of the former USSR, the Caucasus, Crimea, Europe and Asia, as well as North Africa.

Thistle is also a plant with magical properties. This plant is used to expel evil spirits, demons, devils, weak demons, evil spirits, and the restless. This plant also protects against damage due to envy, and is also used to fumigate rooms for cleaning purposes and to “treat” fear in children. It is a weaker plant than wormwood.

Thistle is pollinated by bees and the honey from this plant has medicinal properties. In folk medicine, thistle is used as a hemostatic, anti-inflammatory and neurotonic agent. It is also used in the treatment of menstrual disorders and diseases of the female genital organs.

In folk medicine, thistle is used:

For the treatment of skin cancer (use a strong decoction of thistle herb)
For skin diseases (including scrofula)
For the treatment of acute respiratory infections, upper respiratory tract and lungs
For washing wounds (use thistle juice)
For the treatment of rheumatism, etc.

In magic, thistle is used to protect and expel evil spirits and evil spirits. They can use either a dried plant (as a talisman) or add it to mixtures for fumigation during cleansing.

In magic, thistle is used:

To create amulets (magic bags)
To fill volts (protective dolls)
To calm sadness (infusions)
To create magical mixtures and potions
As a fumigation mixture for cleaning
As an ingredient during rituals, etc.

Remember that herbs sold in pharmacies and markets will not suit you for magical purposes. For the use of thistle in magic and ritual, the location where the plant grew, as well as the time and process of collecting the herb, play an important role. I also remind you that plants collected at Places of Power on specially designated days have great magical power!

Note: It is believed that thistle collected on Ivan Kupala has powerful protective properties!
