Fern in the garden: omens and superstitions

Fern is one of the oldest plants, which has been ascribed to magical properties at all times. Of course, people plant it much more often near the house, in their summer cottages, although there are those who use fern as an indoor plant. Today we will talk about signs and superstitions about ferns in the garden and at home. You will find out what kind of energy this green plant has, for which the owners love and at the same time dislike it. Perhaps this information will help you make the right decision about whether to plant fern in the country and in a city apartment.

Fern symbolism in different cultures

On the territory of different countries there were their own signs and superstitions about fern. So, for example, the Slavs believed that the green forest fern blooms only once a year - on the night of Ivan Kupala. The brave man who will decide to take a walk through the forest at this time and will see the flower will acquire a special magical property - the ability to see treasures deeply hidden underground. Modern Slavs believe that you can tell the fern about your most cherished desire at the moment when it produces spores - and then it will certainly come true.

Several centuries ago, there was a belief in England that a person who discovered a flowering fern would gain the ability to become invisible at will. Modern British perceive the plant as a love talisman. They are sure that the power of this mysterious plant enhances feelings between lovers, and also helps single men find their soul mate.

Residents of Western European countries consider the fern a reliable amulet that protects the house from thunderstorms and lightning - for this they grow a plant, or simply store a few plucked leaves of this "forest inhabitant" in the yard or in the dwelling itself. Also, during a long drought, when there has been no rain for a long time, people deliberately cut and burn fern leaves, believing that this can cause precipitation.

Signs and omens about the fern in the garden

Now let's look at signs and superstitions about garden ferns. The most common belief says that fern planted in the garden will protect the yard from evil spirits, various troubles, and bad energy. One can say that the fern will not let any negativity into your site, even if someone deliberately tries to harm you. And if damage was sent to you or your home, the plant can “take the hit on itself”, but, most likely, after that it will start getting sick or die.

The rest of the magical properties of fern associated with growing it in a summer cottage are reminiscent of those that have already been listed when we talked about ferns in different cultures. Many people still believe that it removes any natural disasters from home, while others claim that it keeps love between family members living under the same roof.

Whatever it is, but astrologers, for example, argue that this plant should definitely be planted in your garden for people born under the Zodiac signs Gemini and Aquarius, because it is for them that it will allow them to find inner harmony, which they sometimes lack so much.

Omens and signs about the fern in the house

But the signs and superstitions about the indoor fern, alas, are not so positive. Despite such impressive properties described above, this plant is a strong energy vampire; so most esotericists do not recommend growing it at home. It is believed that the fern will draw energy from the household members, because of which they will feel tired, passive, lazy. And the more the fern grows, the stronger his "vampire" properties will turn out to be.

However, there are other opinions. So, for example, it is recommended to have such a “friend” at home for people who love risk and excitement, since the plant will “suggest” to its owner the right decisions regarding making money, as well as protect him from rash spending, dubious investments. However, avid casino players and betting shop regulars should not keep a fern at home: the plant does not perceive a random win as honestly earned money, so they will not be able to get good tips about the correct bets from it.

Rules for having fern at home

If the signs and superstitions about the fern in the house do not scare you, and you still decide to grow it in your home, follow these simple rules:
• Do not put a flower pot with fern in the bedroom, the best place is the farthest corner of the living room, closer to the TV, so that the green "friend" is not fed by your energy, but draws it from "viewing" news releases. Speaking seriously, instead of a TV, any household appliances will do - so the plant will absorb harmful radiation.
• Do not start a fern plant if there is a sick or elderly person in the house: such people are the most vulnerable in terms of energy, so they may feel bad with such a “flatmate”.
• If, after the appearance of the plant in the house, you began to suffer from headaches, and in the morning you feel overwhelmed, tired, it is better to take it to the summer house or give it into someone’s good hands. These signs indicate that you are unlikely to get along with this wayward forest plant.
• But if everything is fine with your well-being and the fern is getting more and more beautiful every day - congratulations! This means that you and the plant are comfortable together, which means it will only show its positive properties.
