Old signs say that not every tree can be planted in your yard or summer cottage.
Beliefs are also associated with the willow. For Christians, the sharp-leaved willow has a special meaning. However, folk signs do not recommend planting the plant on the plot, and here is why.
Willow on the plot: signs
One of the beliefs says that a person who has planted a willow shortens his life until the moment when the stalk is suitable for a shovel. The signs also promise a series of misfortunes and troubles to his relatives.
In the old days, people believed that it was especially dangerous to plant a willow on the day when a child was born in the family. In such a case, they said that the fate of the newborn would be sad.
Signs advise against planting a tree near the house whose branches are drooping. People who violate this warning will spend their entire lives in tears and sadness.
Another belief says that the willow has a powerful healing aura. But the plant needs energy, so it will take it from the owners of the house.
