Black elderberry has magical properties. The benefits and magical properties of elderberry

6 The elder tree is never struck by lightning. (Lincolnshire and some other places. This superstition still exists).
If you burn elderberry in the hearth of your home, death will soon come to your house. (Sussex).
A rider who carries two small branches of elderberry in his pockets will never rub or bruise his horse's back, no matter how fast he gallops. (This advice was given by Culpepper (English Physician), and we know some riders who still carry elderberry sprigs.) If you beat a boy with an elder stick, he will stop growing. (Everywhere in the 17th century).
If you collect elderberry leaves on the last day of April and apply them to wounds, the wounds will not become inflamed.
To cure epilepsy, cut a piece of elderberry branch between two "joints" where you have never fallen Sunbeam, and hang it around the patient’s neck. (It was common in the 17th century).
All these superstitions about elderberry arose as a result of the legend that the cross on which Christ was crucified was made from elderberry, and that the traitor Judas hanged himself on an elderberry. In all Christian countries, elderberry has been used for centuries as a remedy against damage. In medieval Scotland, houses and gardens were protected from witches by hanging elderberry branches on doors and windows. In the old cemetery on the island of Sanda, the remains of an elder tree have been lying since time immemorial, and anyone who steps over them risks dying before the end of the year. In Germany, cut nails and hair secretly buried under an elderberry bush so that witches could not reach them and use contagious magic to harm their owner. To cure fever, the Slavs bent three shoots of an elderberry bush to the ground and pressed them down with stones. The patient crawled under this arch three times, and then cut down the shoots with the words: “With three shoots I cut out the disease.” Strangely, in England there was also a similar ritual performed with oak or aspen. The Bavarians treated fever by sticking an elderberry branch into the ground with certain words . In this way, the fever was transferred to the branch, and whoever pulled this branch out of the ground could become infected with the disease. Elderberry was also considered effective means from epilepsy (epilepsy). An Irish superstition says: “Cut a branch of elderberry into nine pieces and hang them like beads around the neck of someone with epilepsy. In this way you will get rid of the disease.” It should be added, however, that if these beads fall to the ground, the spell will be broken and the talisman must be burned immediately and a new one made. According to Russian folk beliefs, elderberry also had special magical properties. So, "the elder cane is attributed magical property protect and protect the traveler from dangerous animals and evil people, for this it is advised to do this: on the eve of the holiday of All Saints, cut off the elder cane of the desired size, hollow out the soft core from the lower end and in this void put wolf eyes, tongues from three green lizards, the heart of a dog and three swallow hearts, all of this turned into the powder should be put into the said void. To this powder you need to add iron ore powder and cover it with an iron knob." Unlike English beliefs, elderberry in Russian folk tradition is not associated with Christian themes. According to Russian legends, the cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified was made of cypress, and Judas hanged himself from an aspen tree. To remove a wart, rub it with a green elderberry branch and bury the branch to rot.

I promised for a long time w-e-d-m-a article about elderberry to figure out how you can transplant it to your plot. On the one hand, there are a lot of superstitions that imply that it is better not to mess with the plant. On the other hand, there is centuries-old experience of use in medicine and cooking. Having gone through a bunch of material, including and-no and fiction, came to certain practical conclusions, which I propose to everyone who wants to have elderberry in their garden.

1. Every self-respecting witch simply needs elderberry - for amulets, for a broom, for potions, and simply for demonstrating her culinary delights.
2. If the witch is not the lucky owner of elderberry hash on summer cottage- what to do? Option one is to bring the plant from the forest. In this case, you will need to dig it up entirely with roots. To do this, you can invite some friend who is crippled or mentally ill, not very violent, they are already
it won’t get worse...:) You can try to dig it yourself with the words “Old lady, give me your tree, and I’ll give you mine when I have it,” but it’s better not to risk it. All folk beliefs of different nations agree on this that it is impossible to unambiguously dig up the roots. Hence the second option - to take cuttings from a forest elderberry according to all the rules of art. Cut the cuttings again from magic words, within the time limits specified by traditional healers.
3. Plant elderberries only outside the house, do not bring them inside.
4. The elderberry is growing a lot, sooner or later there will be a need to cut down the extra bushes. For this purpose - see paragraph 2 or, as I was told, folk way- you need to use a shovel or an ax, the blade of which is lubricated with lard, blessed for Easter. The main thing is not to forget in advance, on the coming Easter, to stuff a piece of lard into the basket.
5. Decide for yourself - to grow a plant from seeds, from cuttings, or bring it as an adult. In the first case, it seems to me, the entire growing process will resemble the creation of a homunculus by alchemists - you will receive an object of power created by your own hands, a powerful talisman that is literally from birth, You can use it for future good purposes.

What do we know from folk customs about magical and medicinal properties elderberries?
The Slavs believed that under the elderberry, in its roots, as well as in the tree itself, there lived a spirit, a demonic creature, a devil. Therefore, elderberries are never dug up by the roots - nothing will ever grow in the place where the elderberry was dug up. Among the Hutsuls, places where elderberry grows are considered unclean. The Serbs believed that the elderberry bush was the home of the Veela, so whoever cut it down would face death or paralysis. Sometimes cripples or mentally ill people were hired for this purpose. Obviously, elderberry has been known to people since ancient times, as it is mentioned in some conspiracies reflecting protohistorical events - the fall of Adam and Eve, the murder of Abel: “Good evening to you, elderberry, my faithful friend! Tell me, bully, what happened to him, how he killed his father’s son, and committed sin for his mother? “It was like that there: it rubbed and crumpled, and what’s more, it was so damaged.” According to the commentary of a healer from the Chelm region, the elderberry (boz) is Adam: “Help, God, elderberry! The man of God, holy Adam, created from the beginning of the world.” According to Christian legend, Judas hanged himself on an elder tree, although the more famous version is on an aspen.
On the other hand, the elderberry bush is the habitat of household spirits, guardians of the household. That's why it so often grows near residential buildings, stalls and barns. I wonder how they all fit there, under one bush, and even together with the devil? Under the elderberry, incantations were pronounced “from misfortune”, “to gain strength and courage”, “to get rid of any trouble”, “so that the court does not condemn”.
IN folk medicine in the treatment of certain diseases (consumption, fever, toothache) they were “transferred” to elderberry. They buried a tangle under the elderberry tree, poured water under it, in which they bathed the sick child, and tied the bush with threads from the patient’s clothes. The Slovenes buried a child's cropped hair under an elderberry to protect him from headaches, and the Slovaks bathed children in a decoction of elderflower flowers to ensure their health. A healthy person should not sleep under an elderberry, but the mother took a sick child under a flowering elderberry bush and left him there, while she returned home and performed three “jobs,” while maintaining silence. Water was poured through the elderberry branches, which was then given to the sick. The Polish spell - "Holy elderberry, I keep you from being burned by fire, and you keep me from toothache" - a stunning mixture of sympathetic magic and religious worship, it is clear that the plant has been sacred since pre-Christian times. Among the southern Slavs, elderberry was used for bites from snakes, scorpions and wasps, as well as in veterinary medicine.
Elderberry branches were used as a universal amulet - they were hung over the door of the house on the eve of St. George's Day and on the night of Ivan Kupala. Lusatians used elderberry branches to protect a woman in labor and a newborn, while the Slovaks washed the place where the deceased lay with elderberry decoction. As a plant associated with the lower world, elderberry was sometimes planted on graves and was also used to make rain.
Among the Czechs and Slovenes, girls used elderberries to tell fortunes about marriage. On Christmastide, the girl went to the elderberry tree, shook the bush and said: “I’m shaking, I’m shaking the elderberry, respond, dog, from the other side where my dear lives.” On Kupala night, one could also see the betrothed in the elderberry bush.
On the website of one modern healer I found a review: “...I learned my love for herbs from early childhood, from my grandfather’s creaky wooden house, under the window of which a black elderberry grew.
Village magicians consider the black elderberry to be an evil tree; sleeping under it leads to madness and mental disorders. If you hit an animal or person with an elderberry branch, it can be damaged. Grandfather talked about this. But he loved his elderberry and took care of it. Now I know that the black elder was a guardian tree.”
So what can you expect from elderberry – good or bad, beneficial or harmful? The fact that there is no clear answer indicates a mixture of folk and religious myths for the long history of use of this plant.

Celtic beliefs about elderberry.
In all Northern European countries, elderberry was revered for its magical power. Rune masters associated the runes of the human world with elderberry - Fehu and Otal. According to the Elder Edda, the goddess Freya chose the black elderberry as her home. One of the ritual manuals of Old Europe says: “Hollow out an elderberry cane from the lower end and put there crushed wolf eyes and the tongues of three green lizards, the heart of a dog and three swallow hearts, to this add iron ore powder and cover it with an iron knob - and this elderberry cane will protect you on the road from all sorts of misfortunes and protect dashing people from forest animals.” In the Middle Ages, elderberry was considered a witch tree, the twigs of which were used by witches for night flights. It was impossible to burn elderberry in the house, as this would bring inevitable misfortune. The elderberry is the darkness of the lower world, it provides the opportunity for active aggressive protection (as opposed to passive security, which is symbolized by the thorn - Dancing Witch), therefore it is believed that when the elderberry grows at the gate of the house, it is good, but bringing it into the house is not worth it . It is also worth thinking seriously before breaking an elderberry branch and growing runes on it.
Elderberry is often mentioned in connection with the customs and morals of fairies, magical people. It is very useful for birds, which feed on its berries in winter, and fairies are known to love birds. The berries can be burned as an offering for fairies, or homemade elderberry wine can be made. Whoever drinks elderberry wine will be able to see the fairies, and if it is a glass from which the fairies themselves drank before, then the ability to see will remain forever. You can’t break or cut an elderberry without asking; you need to ask the tree in special words: “Old lady, give me your tree, and I’ll give you mine when I have it.” It was also forbidden to burn elderberries in the fireplace, so as not to invite misfortune, and to make a cradle out of it for a child, so that the fairies would not pinch him at night.
One of the representatives of the New Age trend in modern paganism, Douglas Monroe, in The Lost Books of Merlin, cites the legend of the ancient Irish about Failinn. He was the king of tiny people, next to whom even dwarfs looked like giants. These little men were engaged in causing all sorts of harm to houses if their inhabitants did not leave a thimble of elderberry wine on the porch step every night. Elderberry wine is one of the earliest wines mentioned in Celtic mythology. It had magical properties, being the favorite drink of all mystical creatures - from ordinary wizards and elves to Dragons and Unicorns. It was an “Otherworldly Magic Libation”, which was used during all the holidays of the Dark Half of the year, that is, winter (Autumn Equinox, Samhain, Winter Solstice, Imbolc). For the druids filling the tiny
The Renaissance cauldron with elderberry wine was part of the final initiation ritual of their disciples. Elderberries symbolically allow those who eat them to experience the taste of the Other World, and then return to the world of the living with new knowledge. The book also contains old recipe making elderberry wine, taken from a thirteenth-century cookbook entitled For the Royal Taste. Recipes from the royal court of Richard I.” They say that in England for several centuries there has been a society of lovers of black elderberry wine, which is prepared not only from the fruits, but also from the flowers.

Elderberry wine (ROB)
Drop 1 gallon (4.55 L) of elderberries into 3 gallons (13.65 L) of good spring water. Boil for 1 hour, strain and add 3 lb (1.36 kg) dark clover honey. Allow to cool to body temperature, then stir in 1 oz (28.4 g) brewer's yeast. Close and leave to ferment for 2 weeks, then carefully remove the foam and pour into dark glass bottles using a ladle. Do not close tightly until fermentation stops, then place in a cold cellar, covered with sand. To obtain the best taste, age for at least 1 year.
In addition, you can make pancakes from elderberry blossoms - dip them in liquid yeast-free dough, deep-fry them, then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. In Poland, France and other European countries they are even fried like donuts.
Other recipes for elderberry dishes - confitures, tinctures, liqueurs, marmalade, etc., etc. - can be found on gardening forums. Here we are more interested in the fact that the plant is still actively used in home cooking, despite many concerns. But the modern summer resident is very different in mentality from the indigenous peasant and often does not believe in “all mysticism.” Whether this is good or bad is not known, but my husband, once in his youth, collected elderberry blossoms for the pharmacy for the whole summer, without using any protective measures, and without even knowing about them. And now go prove that it was not because of the elderberry that he fell from a third-floor window that year, fortunately, he escaped with only light bruises.

Elderberry as a garden crop
Here we should clarify - botanists know several types of elderberry: red, Canadian, Kamchatka, black, etc. Three types can grow in central Russia: red (scientific name cystic or common), herbaceous and black.
Elderberry herbaceous is a bushy perennial up to 1.5 m tall, with a powerful horizontal rhizome, poisonous, the rhizome is used as a diaphoretic, diuretic and laxative; Fresh dark purple berries are poisonous because they contain a large number of hydrocyanic acid. The strong unpleasant odor is used to repel insects, rodents, pests such as bud mites, butterflies. That is why it may have been planted near barns, or at least They didn’t really uproot it if it grew like a weed in the gardens.
Black elderberry is a branched shrub or small tree from 3 to 7 m tall, with a characteristically unpleasant-smelling bark (this corpse-like smell probably served as the basis for the legend of Judas, besides, on a tree 3 m high, it is indeed, if desired, quite possible to hang yourself - Dancing Witch).In its flowers and bark, a substance was identified that releases hydrocyanic acid when broken down - here you have the Other World on a silver platter. Tea from the flowers is used for colds, as well as a blood purifier for unclean skin and unpleasant smell bodies. The recommendations of traditional medicine on the use of black elderberry bark are interesting, in the best magical traditions– if the bark is peeled from top to bottom, it acts as a laxative, if from bottom to top, it acts as an emetic. Side effects: the flowers are generally not dangerous. Leaves and bark - can sometimes cause stomach and intestinal irritation. Unripe fruits are slightly poisonous. Fresh Juice in its raw form causes vomiting and diarrhea, just like the fruit. On the contrary, like jam, they are very good for health, as they contain vitamins and valuable minerals. In order for the processed products of black elderberry to be tasty, you must add citric acid, or use sour fruits and berries (apples, gooseberries). Juice and black elderberries have a strong analgesic effect.B Western Europe A condensed berry extract is produced, it is 160 times less active than morphine, but without side effects.

The cluster or red elderberry also has an unpleasant odor that repels flies, so it is traditionally planted near cesspools, compost heaps, toilets. The leaves and flowers are an insecticidal remedy against leaf-gnawing and sucking pests; in addition, mice do not like this plant. red) elderberry can be used for washing hands - very useful property for a summer resident whose hands are always stained from God knows what and lemon juice no longer helps. Soiled hands are first thoroughly rubbed with mashed ripe berries, then rinsed clean water, and then wash it with soap. Stains from grass, dandelions and even chokeberries and other dark berries are washed off.
From the seeds of the red elderberry the oil used in technical purposes, alcohol is obtained from the fruits, and green paint is obtained from the leaves. The wood is well polished and used in turning. The swells on the roots of the red elderberry are of particular ornamental value. Children's squeaker toys, as well as various devices for home crafts, were made from the young, spongy inside branches - bobbins, reels, bobbins, under the general name “tarsus”, therefore in Dahl’s dictionary the red elderberry is called a squeaker and a tarsus. According to the magical properties of the red elderberry, only Paul Sedir noted - “water from the leaves kills flies.”
The healing books also say that a small twig of elderberry, picked shortly before the October full moon and broken into 9 parts, helps against dropsy. Elderberry root also helps, but it needs to be dug up at noon on Ivan Kupala. This probably means the herbaceous elderberry, but the agreed timing of harvesting the plant is also important. If we want to transplant elderberry to our plot, perhaps we should use these dates - the plant will retain its medicinal power. In general, new branches on black elderberry easily grow to replace broken old ones, and any branch that ends up on the ground can take root. Experts classify elderberry as an easy-to-root species - 70-100% of cuttings take root within 14-20 days. It is recommended to use the so-called. green cuttings, when cuttings are taken from a part of the current year’s green or partially woody shoot with leaves, in particular for elderberry, they are collected in June-July (that is, at the same time as indicated by herbal healers - Dancing Witch). The reproduction rate with green cuttings is higher than when using lignified cuttings or layering. Elderberry is a frost-resistant, shade-tolerant plant, demanding of soil moisture and fertility, and tolerates replanting well. Seeds are sown in autumn or spring, it grows quickly, but then bears fruit in 3-5 years. The ideal method of propagation is layering. It is believed that it is more realistic to “tame” wood elder than, for example, lingonberries and blueberries. But we now know that from the point of view of magic it is impossible to just dig up an elderberry from the forest.

Harry Potter, Andersen and the elderberry

Probably, the story about the elderberry would not be complete if we did not recall Andersen’s fairy tale “Mother Elderberry” and the seventh part of the adventures of Harry Potter, where a magic wand made from elderberry is endowed with the property of winning all magical duels. In Andersen's fairy tale, Mother Elderberry, aka Dryad, aka Remembrance, helps a sick child overcome illness. Goffman also mentioned the elderberry, in the fairy tale “The Golden Pot” - the hero falls in love with a beautiful snake that appeared to him in a blooming and singing elderberry bush.

Many people believe that burning an elderberry tree is dangerous, especially since gypsies always prohibit the use of elderberry for fire. However, magicians have used elderberry wood for centuries to make wands.

Elderberry has a very strong magical effect and is very actively used by magicians of all countries. Elderberry was quite often used as a talisman, providing very strong energetic protection against evil forces.
They made an elderberry amulet like this: they took a small twig a few centimeters in size from the middle of the elderberry crown and carried it with them in their right breast pocket - this action will protect you from various evil spirits and simply evil forces.
They also made another amulet: they took a small white linen bag and put 12 elderberries in it, and put it in the bed next to the head, under the pillow. If you tie such a bag and hang it around your neck, then the amulet will continue to scare away various ghosts, spirits, other evil spirits and undead from you, and will keep you safe. But at night you need to remove the bag and put it back under the pillow.
If it happens to you that you simply feel an encroachment on your life in the form of various evil spells, then you can get rid of them by calling on elderberry for help. To do this, you need to ask permission from the tree to pick one branch, ask for forgiveness for such rudeness, and only after that take 3 elderberry branches. One of the 3 branches must be chewed for 3 minutes, then spat out over the threshold. You should always carry the second branch with you; you can simply hang it around your neck. The third branch must be placed in the bed, and preferably under the mattress at the head of the head. You can also attach elderberry sprigs above the windows and leave a few by the front door, in the corner closest to it.
But you should remember that elderberry not only protects from evil forces, evil spirits live in it, so you need to be more careful with it.
It is believed that this is why the elderberry “bleeds” if its branches are cut. And before cutting it down, they read the following spell:
Mrs. Elderberry, give me some of your wood. I'll give you mine when I become a tree myself.

The soft core was hollowed out, and the resulting void was filled with powder from wolf eyes, lizard tongues, hearts of dogs and swallows.

In all Northern European countries, this tree is revered for its great magical powers. Rune masters usually associate the runes of the human world with elderberry - Fehu and Odal. New elder branches easily grow to replace broken old ones, and any branch that ends up on the ground can take root. Tea is brewed from elderberry flowers “to purify the blood”; a soothing infusion is obtained from the bark; but the fumes emanating from this plant are considered pathogenic and even fatal for those who linger under its shade(I don’t even recommend trying it. You start feeling nauseous after just 5 minutes of standing next to it). According to the Elder Edda, the goddess Freya chose the black elderberry as her home. Popular beliefs warn against burning elderberry wood in the house, as this brings inevitable misfortune. In the Middle Ages, the elderberry was considered a witch tree, the twigs of which were used by witches for night flights. Elderberry is the darkness of the Lower World. It provides the opportunity for active aggressive defense, and therefore in Northern Europe it is believed that when an elderberry grows at the gate of a house, it is good, but bringing it into the house is not worth it. And therefore you should think seriously before breaking an elderberry branch and carving runes on it.

In Europe, this plant symbolizes witchcraft, magic and the power of spirits. A sprig of elderberry was worn on Walpurgis Night.
Elderberry symbolizes diligence. Sorcerers and magicians believe that this plant prolongs life and gives the ability to guess the future. If you constantly carry a sprig of elderberry with you, it will serve as a talisman against harmful forces. Given the dual nature of any magical plant, sometimes in predictions elderberry marks the arrival of misfortune.
