Thistle flower is a talisman for the home against evil spirits

Thistle is an amazing plant that combines beauty, endurance and unpretentiousness. It can grow in the most difficult and difficult conditions and is often considered a weed. Now thistle is sometimes used to decorate a garden in a "wild" style. In Rus', the plant was attributed with protective properties. The name itself - Thistle - in Russian consists of two words meaning "expelling devils, evil spirits." Russian women greatly revered the thistle flower. Dried bouquets of the plant were hung in houses in summer and autumn, and in spring these bouquets were burned, along with all the bad things they had collected. The smoke from burnt thistle flowers was used to fumigate sick people to drive out the disease. A stylized image of the thistle flower was widely used in folk art to decorate the home and clothes. These were embroidery, lace, painting of dishes and other household items. The thistle flower was also widely used in other European cultures. For example, it is a symbol of Scotland. There was even an Order of the Knights of the Thistle. The motto of the knights of this Order was the phrase - No one will touch me with impunity. In more modern culture, the thistle is also popular. Motifs with thistle were used by painters, jewelers and artists. This flower was especially popular during the Art Nouveau period.
