Our distant ancestors did not doubt that the plants came to this world are not accidental, they are of particular importance. The paths of their appearance were shrouded in the secret, generating numerous theories, including "magic". One of these symbols was Astra. The legend of the flower, the appearance of which and served as the source of the name, attributes to him the Divine origin. So, where did this beautiful plant come from?
The most beautiful description of the history of this "star" plant got to our contemporaries from the inhabitants of ancient Greece. It was they who first recorded explaining where Astra came from. The legend of the flower says that people must be thanked for him to Persephone.
How is the forever young goddess of spring connected with the advent of this plant? Persephone is an unfortunate spouse Aida, who ruled the underground kingdom. He forcibly took her wife, kidding her mother demeters. The gods prescribed the young spouse to hold at least half of her life (autumn and winter) in the monastery of her husband, so after year she fell under the ground with the arrival of cold weather.
And here is Astra? The legend of the flower claims that once in late August, an unhappy goddess noticed the lovers of the young man and the girl who exchanged kisses, being hidden night darkness. Persephone, devoid of love and forced to soon go to Aida, buried out of despair. The tears of sufferers turned into star dust, descending to the Earth and transforming into wonderful asters. It is not surprising that this plant from ancient times is associated with the Greeks with love.
Not only percepton "accused" in the appearance on our planet such a miracle as Astra. The legend of the flower, which is popular in China, contains another explanation. It all started with the journey of two Taoist clergymen who decided to get to the stars. The path of monks, as expected, was long and heavy. They had to penetrate the juniper thickets, fall, clogging on the ice trails, wander around the unwriting forest.
Finally, the priests climbed the Altai mountain. Once on top, they decided to relax, as their legs were rimmed into the blood, some rags remained from clothes. The monks hardly descended into the valley, where they saw a transparent stream and a floral meadow. And here is the legend about the flower? Astra turned out to be the excellent plant that was found in the Valley travelers. Noticing this miracle, they realized that the stars were not only in heaven.
Monks were not kept from not capturing with them patterns of plants. They began to grow them on monastic lands, invented the appropriate name. Translated from the Latin word "Astra" means "star".
People who once inhabited ancient Greece were distinguished by a rich imagination. It is not surprising that they are also offered another legend about the flower. Astra is known to be considered a symbol of a sign of the Virgin. People who are managed by a romantic constellation will be interested to know why this is the plant that is chosen for them.
It turns out that the ancient Greeks who lived even before our era were actively interested in astrology, had already had an idea of \u200b\u200bthe constellation of the Virgin. It, in turn, was identified by the inhabitants of the ancient world with the goddess Aphrodite. The theory says that the tears shed because of the death of an excellent beloved, turned into cosmic dust. This is another legend about the flower (Astra, as it turns out, popular has long been different) differs from history, the heroines of which is perverse. Donkey dust on Earth, gradually transformed into a plant.
It was the first state whose residents began to grow asters. Taking into account the "Divine" versions of the origin of the "star" plants, there is nothing surprising that they were given a special place. The legend about the autumn Flower Astre, in which they believed in those days, argued that he had the ability to divert the trouble from home, to drive evil spirits. This explains the habit of the ancient Greeks to decorate these plants from the doors.
Interestingly, the Asters was delivered to the Crimea from Greece. The evidence that the flower was grown by even Scythians was found in Simferopol.

Curiously, but the Scythians saw the sun in this work and also considered him a divine gift.
In ancient Greece, the widespread temples, glorifying powerful and excellent Aphrodite. As mentioned above, the legend about the autumn flower (Astra is in mind) assures that the tears turned into a plant, this explains why it was chosen as a symbol, the drawings of which altari decorated. The parishioners visiting the Temple of Aphrodite for the Ascension of Prayers, also woven the plant in hair, clothes.
Not many know that Astra was used during fortune-telling with young Grechany. The girls who wish to make a family learned thanks to the magical ritual the name of the narrowed.

Who - Dukati and Piastra
Fill the music pocket,
Polyvo-smoky fog.
They are not anxious
Flowers from summer on the edge.
Their unacceptableness is similar
For the accuracy of my.
They fade - this is clear:
Nothing is eternal under the Moon.
And the head is nodding asters,
In all the consonants with me.
But we still rain wash
Find in the sky of the Sun copper
And through wet eyelashes
To look at this world, look ...
Blue shadows, sharp sounds,
All is close spicy flavor.
And asters ask me in hand -
And still stand.
And we do not ask with pain:
"Where are the autumn brought us?" -
Only petals tremble unwittingly,
How ripples from quiet oars ...
Who - Dukati and Piastra
Fill the music pocket,
And I will warm the Astra's heart -
Polyvo-smoky fog.

Flowers from summer on the edge.

Astra is translated from Greek as a "star". And in fact, the Astra reminds with its sharp ruffles-rays, descended into the garden.
The ancient Greeks came up with an excellent myth about the origin of Astra: once at the end of August, the goddess of the spring of Persephone, which was to return to the underground sad kingdom of Aida, looked from the sky to the ground. She saw a couple in love which exchanged love oaths in the night darkness. Persephone became bitterly because she was not given love, and it was destined to hold half aim in the dark kingdom, and she was crying. Her tears with star dust fell on the ground and turned into asters. Since then, Astra is a symbol that in Greek mythology is associated with the Persephone and her mother Dememetra, the goddess of fertility.
For the first time, garden asters appeared in ancient Greece. They occupied important place Among other colors. According to beliefs, astes planted at the entrance, distilled off the trouble and defended the house from trouble. The colors of Astra decorated altars in the temples, the asters walked into the garlands, decorated with their clothes and hairstyles. And the young Greeks learned the name of the future husband: at night they went to the garden, to the bushes of Astr, and listened. It was believed that asters could ask the stars and tell the girl how they would call her narrowed.
Flower - Astra
From Greece Astra fell into the Crimea. When excavations in Simferopol, the ASTR image found among sacred symbols on the walls of the tsarist tomb. The Scythians in the honorable sun and his symbolism: Kolovrats and sun discs. Astra yellow core and radiant petals reminded them not to the star, but the sun. Therefore, she was considered at the Scythians with a flower close to the gods. Then Astra was brought to Italy, where he got to China and remained there a popular flower, when in Europe they had forgotten about her.
Flowers love in China. There is a whole culture, how to grow them, give, how to make bouquets, how to admire and what a value is every flower. Adorable Astra personifies the Chinese beauty, elegance and modesty. In East esoteric teaching, Feng Shui Astra refers love and romance. Bouquet of "Stars" put in the house in the love zone (in the southeastern part of the house), and in the garden in the same zone, the bushes of Astra are planted.
Once in the East it was believed that to protect against evil spirits, it is necessary to burn in the premises of the petals of Astra. And she is credited with the ability to return lost feelings. When problems in the family occur, the spouse is losing interest in their half, the Chinese woman is preparing a special salad, where, in addition to traditional components, aster petals. It is believed that such a dish is able to return the passion. There is a rational grain: often indifference to proximity is a sign of malaise, and Astra in folk medicine applies from many diseases.
In Europe, Astra returned in the XVIII century, her seeds brought from China. At this time, the custom was common to express thoughts and feelings with colors. A bouquet could tell about the dust of passion, tenderness, admiration and even hate. Astra took an honorable place among symbolic plants. On the gallant language of colors of the Royal Court of France, it meant "a variety of love." If Kavaler gave a lady a bouquet of Astra, he wanted to say that his love was multifaceted and includes all shades - from worship and timidity to passionate desire.
Astra - a symbol of eternal life
In Eastern Europe, Astra is often perceived as a symbol of sadness and longing to leave. For the incomplete beauty of the Czechs called her autumn rose. However, Astra never personifies the grief, but only a quiet bright sadness. Tatars are seen in Astra a symbol of eternal life and prosperity and even put it on the emblem of their republic.
Astrologers advise to sow ASTR seeds on the growing moon in cancer, and planting seedlings - on the growing moon in the Virgin.
If you do not have a garden plot, you can buy a room arrow (plant or seeds) or ask for friends to bring the bustard of ordinary perennial Astr. - They are well sued in flower pots.
Put the Astra in the southeastern part of the garden (or place a bouquet or a pot of room as terrestrial in this part of the apartment). This is a love zone on Feng Shui. Activating her astrams, you attract love and family happiness. If you are already in a happy marriage, Astra in this zone will support the harmony in the family and contribute to the duration and strength of the relationship. It is best to choose terracotta or classic lilac and purple flowers.
You can, following the example of the ancient Greeks, put asters in the flower bed entrance doorSo that they bring good luck. In no case, do not plant flowers in the shade - esoterically Astra is connected with the Sun, and there will be no "work" without it.
