Lesson with children on the topic of rowan. Rowan tree: description and photo. The most famous rowan hybrids
Like a beautiful maiden, a rowan tree stands in the autumn forest among dark spruce trees and white-trunked birches. She threw a shawl embroidered with carved golden-red leaves over her shoulders and put on a necklace of scarlet berries.
Rowan is often grown as an ornamental tree, but can also be used as food. Fresh rowan fruits have a bitter taste, but after the first frost the bitterness disappears.
What can you cook from rowan?
Rowan fruits are consumed fresh, in the form of preserves, jams, jelly, as well as soaked and pickled.
Animals and birds love rowan. The bear wanders through the thickets of the forest, collecting mushrooms, berries, acorns - fattening up for the winter. If he finds a rowan tree in the forest, strewn with clusters of berries, he will deftly tilt the flexible tree and enjoy its fruits with pleasure.
The forest giants, moose, also like rowan berries. They, reaching to the very top of the tree, eat its fruits and branches with appetite, and the berries that have fallen to the ground are then picked up by voles, hedgehogs and squirrels.
Listen to the poem.
There are long braids on her shoulders,
The eyebrows are bold and sable.
Sundress with a wide border,
Colored half shawl with fringe.
Embroidered with golden leaves,
Painted with scarlet brushes.
I come up and can’t believe my eyes:
That is not a young girl standing there,
And the rowan is a thin tree!
Answer the questions
What does a rowan tree look like?
What color is a bunch of rowan berries?
What animals love to eat it?
The slender, beautiful rowan tree grows in our forests. It attracts attention at any time of the year.
In autumn, the mountain ash turns into a real beauty! The lacy-lace leaves first lighten, then become yellow-orange and red. Bright juicy clusters of ripe rowan berries blaze among them. And the rowan stands elegantly, like a girl in a colorful sundress with a ruby necklace around her neck.
With the arrival of winter, the fashionista does not lose her beauty. It covers the flexible thin branches with lush snow caps, from under which scarlet earrings of berries peek out.
In spring, emerald patterned lace leaves begin to bloom on the thin-trunked tree. Then small white flowers appear from the buds, collected in large fluffy caps. Their spicy-tart aroma can be felt from afar.
In summer, rowan berries gain strength, at first the light green peas slowly turn yellow, then turn light orange.
No one passes by the beauty indifferently. Children make beads from crimson berries. Housewives make delicious jam. Birds in cold winters are saved from hunger by nutritious fruits.
For a long time, people admired her beauty, called her curly, dedicated poems to her and sang in songs. Rowan deserves love and respect!

There are a lot of rowan trees in our forests. It is impossible not to notice her. Bright clusters, like red corals, delight our eyes in autumn. Peter Vyazemsky wrote about rowan:
“Forgetting the picture of the lake,
And the snowy belt of dark mountains,
In you, my dear mountain ash,
My insatiable gaze was fixed."
Rowan is a genus of woody plants from the Rosaceae family. About one hundred species of rowan are known. The main ones among them are the mountain ash (the queen of the autumn forest) and the chokeberry (the queen of the autumn garden).
Useful properties of rowan ordinary have long been familiar to medicine. Healers of the Ancient East paid attention to such a valuable property of rowan as the ability “retain nutrients in the body.” It contains a significant content of vitamins and easily digestible sugars, so the berry is irreplaceable for vitamin deficiencies. In terms of carotene content, rowan will give a head start to some varieties of carrots. A drink made from rowan with rose hips is useful.
The berry has an anti-inflammatory, hemostatic effect. When treating, the fruits, flowers and leaves of mountain ash are used. It is beneficial for the intestines and has a choleretic effect.
Poem about rowan
“You are a rowan, you are curly,
Bloom in the green garden in front of the hut,
You are curly, youthful,
Snow-white fluff - curls are your color.
Remove yourself with a scarlet bead,
Bright berries light up with beauty;
I'll braid them with dark blond,
I’ll braid it with dark brown hair.”
Chokeberry grows wild in the eastern regions of North America. Its distribution in Russia is associated with the name of breeder I.V. Michurin. In 1900, he ordered cuttings of this type of rowan from Germany for crossing with the common rowan. The scientist highly valued this crop as a fruit plant. Subsequently, M.A. Lisavenko played a major role in the spread of chokeberry in our country. In 1935, he received cuttings from Michurinsk and comprehensively studied this culture. In 1942, at the Altai fruit experimental station, he started a plantation of 1000 bushes.
Useful properties of chokeberry no less famous. For example, vitamin P (capillary-strengthening) in its fruits is twice as much as in black currants, and 20 times more than in apples and oranges. It serves as a raw material for the “vitamin” industry. The pulp of the fruit of the chokeberry beauty contains a lot of iodine.
Matinees began to pour in handfuls of silver more often. And the rowan tree in the dark thicket preserved the bounty of summer.
Rowan is a resident of forest clearings, edges and river urema, but from time immemorial the Russian people wanted to bring this tree closer to themselves. They planted it in front of windows in the front garden, near the hedge in the garden, on roadsides and in parks. Perhaps the custom of planting mountain ash near your home dates back to those ancient times when people believed in the magical power of the tree. In many places in Russia, even in the last century, there was a custom when building a new house to plant young mountain ash next to it. Rowan was supposed to protect the house from all sorts of machinations of evil spirits. Northern peoples assigned the role of a soothsayer to the mountain ash. One of the heroines of the Karelian-Finnish folk epic “Kalevala” teaches her daughter-in-law:
Protect with great diligence There are rowan trees in your yard. They are good, rowan trees. Their branches are good, the greenery on the branches is good, and the fruits are even better. Through them the maiden learns, the defenseless one learns, how she lives - according to her taste, or according to the desire of her husband.
Throwing rowan branches into the fire, they wondered about the intentions of people who had arrived from afar. Another heroine advises her daughter:
Daughter, dear little one, Put a rowan on the fire, Set fire to the beauty of the trees; If blood spills in a stream, They will come to war against us; If water flows, then we will remain in peace.
Old beliefs have long been forgotten, but people continue to plant rowan near their houses, and not for its magical power, but for its modest, but such touching beauty. But rowan is good in all seasons! It is beautiful in early spring, when young light green leaves with a clear carved pattern barely bloom on it. Light and bright, it stands in the early summer in a white boil of fragrant flowers. You can’t take your eyes off it in late autumn, when ripe crimson berries become a bright decoration of its branches.
It has long been noted that when the mountain ash begins to bloom, real summer warmth sets in. It is popularly called “rowanberry warmth”. At this very time, rowan flowers generously provide bees with pollen and nectar. And since the rowan was always in front of the peasants, they involuntarily noticed: “If the rowan blooms brightly, there will be a lot of oats,” “If the rowan blooms well, it means a flax harvest.” And when the rowan berry ripened and its clusters glowed with ruby flashes in the yellow lace of foliage, they concluded: “There are a lot of rowan berries in the forest - the autumn will be rainy, but if there are few, it will be dry.”
Many beautiful and imaginative riddles about the mountain ash were composed by the people. “Under the tier, tier hangs a zipun with a red garus.” This riddle was invented in the old days, when zipuns made of homemade cloth, embroidered with garus (dyed wool thread), were ordinary peasant outerwear. And perhaps this riddle was invented by a master embroiderer who sat on gloomy autumn days at the window, behind which clusters of rowan berries hung, with her needlework. But then the leaves fell, many trees lost their beauty, but not the mountain ash.
“The dress was lost, but the buttons remained,” the needlewoman could say. Perhaps this is how a new riddle about the mountain ash was born. And how many songs about the mountain ash people have composed - it’s impossible to count them all. In other years, until deep winter, bright clusters of rowan berries hang on the branches. People say: “In September there is only one berry, and that bitter rowan!” But this is in September, but later, when the frost hits it, it becomes sugary. Various forest animals like to feast on rowan berries. Whom you will meet in autumn and winter on rowan trees laden with fruits. There is also solid upland game - hazel grouse, black grouse and wood grouse, and smaller birds - bee-eaters, waxwings, bullfinches and field thrushes.
Since autumn, rowan berries have been prepared for future use. In the Yaroslavl region, after the first frost, bunches of rowan were torn from the branches and laid in the hayloft in rows, alternating a layer of hay with a layer of rowan. Throughout the long winter, the berries remained fresh, did not rot, did not dry out or freeze. You could make jam from fresh berries at any time or use them for any other needs. Sweet and sour, with a slight bitterness, juicy rowan berries, extracted from the hay in the dead of winter or early spring, were a favorite delicacy of village children. In addition, rowan is a storehouse of vitamins. Hunters and travelers claim that eating a handful of fresh rowan is enough to relieve a headache. Housewives make jam and pastille from rowan berries, and prepare vinegar and kvass from the juice. Yu7 In winter, frozen and dried berries are fed to livestock and poultry in many places. Rowan berries are widely used in the modern food industry.
For many peoples, cutting rowan trees was considered a great sin. Belarusian peasants believed that it was enough not only to cut down a tree, but even to break one branch, and the mountain ash would certainly take revenge on the offender, and misfortune would befall his house.
In pre-revolutionary Georgia, there was a belief that prohibited the use of rowan wood for firewood. But if, nevertheless, by chance a rowan log fell into the stove or fireplace, then in the house they expected that someone would definitely get sick and would get sick until the ash of the rowan wood was thrown away. Perhaps this belief is due to the fact that rowan wood was very highly valued and, of course, burning the precious material was simply a crime. Rowan wood was used by craftsmen where special strength was required. During swidden farming, Russian peasants had to burn various trees, but if they came across a rowan, they did not burn it, but left it for various crafts. Wood from dried trees was also used for crafts - seasoned wood that did not require special drying.
Rowan is a sound breed. The pinkish-white sapwood at the end in a wide ring surrounds the red-brown core. Each annual ring consists of early light wood and late dark wood. Therefore, the annual layers are clearly visible in all sections. The medullary rays of rowan are very narrow: in tangential and transverse sections they are not at all visible to the naked eye, but in radial sections they are barely noticeable. Core repetitions in the form of brown lines and shapeless spots are found in wood. In terms of physical and mechanical properties, rowan wood is close to apple tree. It is also heavy, strong, very hard and dries out a lot. Drying freshly cut wood is not so easy. If drying is careless and too hasty, the wood becomes covered with many large and small cracks. It is much safer to use wood from dried rowan trees.
Rowan wood stains well and accepts mordant. After sanding and polishing it acquires a beautiful silky shine. Dense and homogeneous, it can be easily processed by cutting tools and is an excellent material for turning and carving. Moreover, the carving can be made very thin.
Old masters preferred to make parts of some machines - reels, blocks, spinning wheel spools, loom shuttles - from durable mountain ash wood.
Rowan wood is very flexible. Since ancient times, its thin branches have been used for weaving, and its thicker branches have been used in cooperage for hoops. The flexibility of rowan has long been appreciated by fishermen. You can always make a flexible, elastic and long fishing rod from a Yu8 rowan branch.
The wood of rowan roots is of great value for artistic and decorative works. Durable, with an expressive texture, it is especially good for carving and chiselling work. With great skill, folk craftsmen hollowed out and cut the root wood of rowan trees into bowls, ladles, spoons and ladles. Rowan root is a wonderful material for decorative chamber sculpture.

The story "Rowan"
Nomination “Prose” – 12-16 years old
Tanya studies in the fifth grade of the Kirskaya Secondary School in the Alatyr district of the Chuvash Republic. Since the first grade, he never tires of delighting parents and teachers with his abilities and achievements.
The girl is very literate, reads a lot, writes wonderful essays, tries to write poetry, and loves mathematics. Tanya never sits idle, after classes she attends the basketball club, goes to music school, is engaged in design and research activities, and actively takes part in various creative competitions.
Tanya is not bored at home either, because her beloved mother and younger brother Nikita, grandmother and grandfather are waiting for her there. Together they make crafts, bake pies, ski, and pick mushrooms and berries.
My small homeland is the village of Kirya in the Chuvash Republic, which is surrounded by forest on all sides. From early childhood, my grandmother and I went to the forest to pick mushrooms, berries, and medicinal herbs. Mom and grandmother make delicious preparations for the winter from mushrooms and berries. My grandmother dries medicinal herbs, and in winter she brews and gives us aromatic, medicinal tea.
Last year, on an autumn Sunday, my grandmother and I went into the forest to pick mushrooms and admire the beauty of the autumn forest. The weather was wonderful. A light breeze swirled colorful leaves in the air. A soft carpet of fallen leaves rustled underfoot. There were a lot of mushrooms in the forest: these were beautiful ones - white milk mushrooms, and red chanterelles, proud boletuses and cheerful honey mushrooms. I happily ran from mushroom to mushroom and was amazed at how beautiful they all were.
Suddenly something crunched under my feet. I took a closer look and realized that I had stepped on a small mountain ash. I felt sad to the point of tears for my carelessness and felt very sorry for the young tree. My grandmother began to calm me down, saying that the mountain ash would get better. How will I know about this, how can I then find her in a dense forest! What if I destroyed the mountain ash? Seeing my grief, my grandmother suggested taking a rowan tree and planting it near the house. I was delighted with the offer. With great difficulty we managed to dig up the tree, and we went home happy.
The whole family planted rowan. Even little brother Nikita did not stand aside. And having sat down, everyone made their deepest wishes. The rowan plant, planted with love, quickly took root. In winter, we wrapped it in warm cloth and lined it with spruce branches so that mice would not destroy the bark of the young tree.
The long, cold winter has passed and spring has arrived. The first leaves appeared on the mountain ash. We were very glad! We learned that rowan is a long-living tree. The first years of life it grows very quickly, half a meter per year. It begins to bear fruit after three to six years. Rowan berries have numerous healing properties.
This fall we brought another rowan seedling from the forest. Now our mountain ash is not bored - her friend is growing next to her.
Years will pass, and mature rowan trees will decorate both our house and our street. In spring they will be fragrant with fragrant white flowers, and in winter they will be fed with healthy berries. The wish I made is gradually beginning to come true: a rowan grove has appeared near our house.

Essay about rowan
Autumn beauty in a bright outfit.
In summer, rowan is invisible. She blends in with other trees. But in the fall, when the trees dress in yellow, it can be seen from afar. The bright red berries attract the attention of people and birds. People admire the tree. Birds feast on his gifts.
Even in winter, when the snow is white everywhere, rowan berries delight with their juicy tassels. Her images can be found on many New Year's cards. Artists love rowan because it makes winter more fun and colorful. Poets also love wood. They often compare its juicy berries to beads.
Rowan is not only a beautiful tree. Grandmothers and mothers collect its berries after frost hits. They are said to be very useful at this time. They give people vitamins and medicine.
I asked my grandmother why she eats rowan berries. She said they were replacing her heart drops. Then I thought that the human heart is a motor, and rowan berries are oil for it, preventing the motor from rusting.
I don't eat rowan berries because I have a healthy heart. But I love admiring the tree. One day I was treated to rowan jam. It was delicious. If I become an artist, I will definitely paint a landscape with rowan trees. It will bring people joy and good mood.
For me, the mountain ash is a symbol of my Motherland. This is a tree that decorates nature all year round and is always useful. In spring it blooms magnificently, in summer it gives coolness, in winter and autumn it makes the world brighter. But still, most of all I like rowan in the fall.
- Essay on the topic “What were the autumn leaves whispering about?” It was a foggy autumn morning. I walked through the forest, deep in thought. I walked slowly, without haste, and the wind blew my scarf and leaves hanging from the high branches. They swayed in the wind and seemed to be peacefully talking about something. What were these leaves whispering about? Perhaps they were whispering about the past summer and the hot rays of the sun, without which they had now become so yellow and dry. Perhaps they were trying to call for cool streams that could give them something to drink and bring them back to life. Perhaps they were whispering about me. But only a whisper […]

At the time when they were young, a little older than us, they defended their Motherland from a cruel enemy in the Soviet army.

- An essay-reasoning on the topic “What is friendship?” Friendship is a mutual, vibrant feeling, in no way inferior to love. It’s not only necessary to be friends, it’s simply necessary to be friends.

I really love this modest branched tree, growing almost everywhere in our forests. I love its feathery green leaves, rustling even in a light breeze. There is something cheerful, joyful, Russian in this tree, which always smiles at everyone. In our folk songs, the mountain ash is often affectionately remembered. For a long time, Russian peasants planted rowan trees under the windows of their wooden huts.
Rowan can also be seen in the north of our country, where fruit trees - apple and pear trees - do not grow. The trunk of the rowan tree is clean and smooth, covered with thin shiny bark. The rowan tree blooms in late spring, when the forests are dressed in green, the clear-voiced nightingales are singing and singing at the edges and on the banks of rivers and forest streams. Modest, similar to large yellowish clusters, rowan flowers are hardly noticeable and are not distinguished by their lush beauty. In summer, clusters of small round berries begin to turn red on the rowan tree. They ripen slowly in the summer sun.
Forest rowan berries are hard and tasteless. In summer, birds do not peck them and people do not touch them. Only in late autumn, when the yellowed and reddened leaves fall from the trees and the first autumn frosts press down, do the rowan berries become sweet.
In late autumn, rowan thrushes feed on rowan berries. Rowan berries hang on the trees until the winter snow, and migrating thrushes remain in our forests for a long time. On the white snow under the branches of rowan trees, the scales of berries pecked by birds turn red.
Once upon a time in Russian villages, peasants collected bunches of red rowan, touched by frost, in late autumn. They tied them in bunches and hung them in the cold under the roofs of houses and barns. Frozen rowan is very tasty and aromatic. On holidays, children from Russian forest villages feasted on frozen, sweet mountain ash. Once upon a time, skillful housewives made tasty, slightly bitter jam from rowan, and candied rowan bunches in thick syrup. Such candied rowan berries could even be bought in city confectionery stores.

Legend of love
One day, the daughter of a rich merchant fell in love with a simple guy, but her father did not want to hear about such a poor groom.
To save his family from shame, he decided to resort to the help of a sorcerer. His daughter accidentally found out about this and the girl decided to run away from her home. On a dark and rainy night, she hurried to the river bank to the meeting place with her beloved. At the same hour the sorcerer also left the house. But the guy noticed the sorcerer. In order to take the danger away from the girl, the brave young man rushed into the water.
The sorcerer waited until he swam across the river and waved his magic staff when the young man was already climbing out to the shore. Then lightning flashed, thunder struck, and the guy turned into an oak tree. All this happened in front of the girl, who was a little late to the meeting place because of the rain. And the girl also remained standing on the shore. Her slender figure became the trunk of a rowan tree, and her arms - branches stretched towards her beloved.
In the spring she puts on a white outfit, and in the fall she sheds red tears into the water, sad that “the river is wide, you cannot cross, the river is deep, but you cannot drown.” So there are two lonely trees standing on different banks, loving each other.
“And “it’s impossible for a rowan tree to move to an oak tree, apparently, an orphan’s eyelids can swing alone.”
Since then, rowan has kept the bitter fire of love in its berries. This tree can ignite the flame of a true sense of selflessness in the hearts of people.
“Take care, rowan, of your darling on the way»
When preparing their husbands for the journey, their wives sewed crosses from rowan twigs onto their clothes, tying them with red thread. Rowan bunches were placed in traveling bags as a remedy for scurvy and fatigue on the road.
Rowan takes under its protection, gives beauty and health, endurance, strength.
And although the rowan is a short, fragile tree, it is not afraid of drought or frost and lives, blooms and bears fruit for about 100 years. The thin mountain ash has a strong character: “The wind blows its curls, tearing off the white color, but there is no tree in the world stronger than the mountain ash.”
They believed that she could bring a weak person back to life, could block the path of ghosts and adversity, and could endow people with her strength.
We are not talking about physical, but about the mystical, spiritual power with which this tree is endowed. For many peoples, the best staff for a wizard is a rowan tree, the best wreath for a bride is made from her flowers, the best amulet against dark forces is clusters of red tart berries. It is not for nothing that not a single wedding in Rus' would be complete without rowan. The shoes of the newlyweds were lined with rowan leaves, and wreaths from its branches with scatterings of berries were placed on their heads. It was believed that in such an outfit the young were hidden from the evil eye from head to toe.
The ancient Slavs believed that rowan brings fertility and prosperity. Its berries were considered a symbol of family happiness, strong and faithful love, and a strong family. Therefore, the newlyweds planted it near their house, placing bunches of berries on the windowsill or between the frames. According to an old belief, as long as the berries retain their color, nothing threatens the family union and, in addition, it was believed that rowan protects the house from evil forces. Quarreling lovers were advised to sit together in the shade of a rowan tree. Under the rowan tree they met and parted, and they asked the rowan tree for advice.
Rabin is a symbol of shy beauty, it is a tree of love and newlyweds.
Rowan holidays
On the day of the Autumn Equinox, the Slavs traditionally decorated their houses with clusters of red rowan berries. Rowan served as a talisman, keeping peace and happiness at home. As long as the berries are red, the branch will not lose its strength - no misfortune that can separate loving hearts will enter the house.
In Rus', in some regions, Rowan name days were also celebrated. These holidays took place four times a year: in the spring, after plowing and the opening of the rowan leaf; in the summer, when the sowing season ended and the rowan blossomed; in the fall, when the harvest was completed and the New Year began, then the mountain ash ripened; and in winter, when they were preparing for the new season. All these holidays were accompanied by a special melodic bell ringing, which was popularly called “Rowan Ringing”.
People also called the holiday dedicated to rowan trees the day of “Peter-Paul Rowannikov”. It fell on September 23, the day of Saints Peter and Paul. According to legend, from this day on the sun goes to bed for the winter, closes its eyes until spring, Indian summer ends and golden autumn comes. The first frosts have already arrived, the bitter rowan becomes sweet and can be collected, be sure to leave some berries for the birds. On this day, rowan branches were picked into bunches and hung under the roofs of houses. Branches were also stuck at the edge of each field. This custom is associated with the idea of rowan as a tree that can protect from all sorts of troubles.
Rowan healing
Rowan was considered a talisman in magic and folk healing. The Slavs said: “Stay under the mountain ash - you will scare away the disease.”
For various illnesses, a person climbed through a rowan bush three times.
In case of toothache, secretly at dawn they knelt down in front of the rowan tree, hugged and kissed it and uttered a spell: “Rowan berry, rowan berry, take my illness, from now on and forever I will not eat your berries,” and then returned home, without looking back and trying not to meet anyone.
Rowan is a tree of health, and if you keep a vase with rowan branches near the bed of a sick person, he will be healed more quickly. In addition, rowan symbolizes harmony in family life.
Protector
Our ancestors treated the mountain ash with respect and considered the tree sacred. It was forbidden to break the tree or cause pain. Anyone who harmed the mountain ash was deprived of its protection. People bowed to the tree and asked for help before picking a branch with rowan thunderstorms.
The ancient Slavs considered the beautiful rowan tree to be a protector, a talisman for the home against magical attacks from sorcerers and evil spirits, and bad news. To do this, rowan trees were planted near the porch or at the gate. A sprig of rowan with fruits has long been attached above the front door, where it protected both the house and its household. If you look closely at the underside of the rowan berry, you will notice that its shape is an equilateral five-pointed star, and this is one of the most ancient and most important pagan symbols - a symbol of protection.
The northerners lined their homes and temples with rowan trees, thus protecting buildings from lightning strikes. And almost everywhere the tree itself was dedicated to the Thunder God. Among the Slavs, it was the tree of Perun, not only from lightning, but also from fires.
It was believed that its bright berries could stop the red flames. And in Rus', for the same purpose, they planted mountain ash around the hut, and its clusters hung in the entryway in case of fire from the stoves
Legend about the ship
In one of the ancient legends there is a story about how a certain young hero, who went on a long voyage, cannot return to his native castle for a long time, captured by a witch, because the evil magician every time creates storms on the way of his ship. And only then does the young man manage to break through the magical obstacles and free the castle, when a wise man tells him to replace the ship’s keel with a rowan one, for evil witchcraft dissipates where the wood of this tree, beloved by many peoples, appears...
Magic rowan bunches...
There is an Irish legend about Fraorte, in which the magic rowan berries, which are guarded by a dragon, could replace nine meals, and in addition were an excellent remedy for healing the wounded and added an extra year to a person’s life.
And the ancient legend says that rowan berries, like apples and nuts, were considered the food of the gods.
Rowan is considered a symbol of well-being and prosperity. The Slavs called the mountain ash a sacred tree and were sure that lightning was hidden in its crown. She was always loved for her bright, but so shy, beauty. Since ancient times, it was believed that rowan was endowed with remarkable magical powers. In the old days, a rowan branch with bright red ruby berries was perceived as a symbol of Perun’s club, capable of protecting a person from all sorts of troubles.
In the past, sacred rowan groves grew in sacred places, such as the sanctuaries of ancient gods. This was due to the fact that rowan was considered a tree that provided magical protection and contributed to predictions.
Protective runes were usually carved into rowan wood, since it has long been known for its ability to protect against witchcraft.
And the fishermen, going out to sea to fish, took a rowan branch with them to the boat. They believed that she would bring them a good catch and a safe return home.
An ancient Indian legend about the mountain ash
One day, many years ago, a cold winter came. Hunters wandered through the forest in search of food, barely making their way through huge snowdrifts. The more they walked, the more fear shackled their souls: the forest was literally strewn with birds and small animals that had died from the cold. The tribes united and offered their prayers to Great Manitou asking him to help them.
The Great Spirit replied: “Take a drop of blood from each dead bird and animal and smear it on the tree.” The Indians carried out the order. The next morning, clusters of red berries appeared on all the trees that they had smeared with blood, and birds and small animals sat on the branches and happily ate them.
The happy Indians danced until late at night, praising the Great Manitou, who promised them that whenever the cold winter approached, there would be many berries on the rowan tree.
And there is also the wonderful quality of rowan. It has bactericidal properties, therefore, along with silver, it is an excellent means for purifying water. Since ancient times, when people went to mow, they threw a bunch of rowan berries into the creeks so that the water would be drinkable. And hunters, fishermen and tourists still use this technique: a rowan branch with leaves is dipped into musty water for two hours - and the water is disinfected and becomes suitable for drinking.
“Oh, rowan, rowan, give me some wise advice.”
In hungry years, vitamin fruits saved the lives of not only furry and feathered animals, but also many people, and rowan branches could stop an entire war. For example, the Celts had such a custom. Before the start of the battle, they asked for advice from the wise Druids, who told fortunes using the “rowan fire”. Slowly, the sorcerers built a fire in a special way from logs and rowan branches, and meanwhile the two troops stood opposite each other, shifting from foot to foot. In which direction the flame turned, that will be broken. The “losers” were supposed to retreat, and the more successful enemy was supposed to pursue the fleeing ones. Many preferred not to argue with the will of the gods and left the battlefield without waiting for it to begin. It happened that by the end of the ritual, the army, doomed to defeat by the mountain ash, simply disappeared.
Whether or not there was such a story, the rowan tree definitely always stood and stands guard over peace and tranquility.
