<h6>Thistle</h6><br>
<p>Today I want to show the wildflowers called thistle. <br>These flowers are purple in color, very bright and beautiful.</p>
<blockquote>In ancient times, thistles were used not only in healing and cooking, but they were used in various ceremonies. People believed that this medicinal plant can drive out evil spirits from both man and dwellings. Based on this, a small bouquet of these flowers was hung above the door at the entrance so that evil spirits did not penetrate the house.
If it was believed that if a sorcerer died in the village, then a thistle would be planted on his grave so that he would not rise from the grave.
In ancient times, an amulet of flowers from the thistle was created. It was believed that if you wrap a lock of a person around a flower, then this would protect him from the evil spell directed against him.</blockquote>
