The Ringing Cedar

       Summarizing the stories from the books of the series “Ringing Cedars of Russia” by author Vladimir Megre and published stories of individual people, also in Latvia, here you will get acquainted with amazing nature of the cedar tree, it’s healing properties, the possibilities of cultivation in the climatic conditions of Latvia, comparing the different countries in which the cedar tree grows. That’s, it will not only be about Siberian cedar, which seeds and production you can buy in our online store, but also about the Lebanese cedar and cedars adapted to European climatic conditions.
       The indigenous peoples living in Siberia, the things mentioned here from the stories are completely known and obvious – they have been using the cedar tree from time immemorial, processing it, for the manufacture of decorative products, they have gotten used to the cedar both in tradition and in everyday life. And in the books of the aforementioned author V. Megre the wisdom and teachings of the elders living in Siberia are just mentioned, how to grow and use a cedar tree.
       God created the cedar as store of energies of the Cosmos. Radiation emanates from a person in a state of love. In a split second, it, reflected from the planets floating above a person, again reaches the Earth and gives life to all living things… Only light radiation leaves a person go in the Space. A dark radiation emanates from a person who is under the influence of evil feelings, which cannot rise up and therefore gets into the depths of the Earth. Reflected from the bowels, it returns to the surface in the form of well-known natural disasters.
       The cedar lives about 550 years. With millions of its leaf-needles, in day and night it catches and accumulates light energy, it’s entire spectrum. During the life of a cedar, all bodies pass over it, reflecting light energy.
        Even in a small piece of cedar there is more energy beneficial for a person than all man-made energy installations on Earth combined.
      The cedar receives the energy emanating from a person through the Cosmos, stores and gives it back at the right time, when it is not enough in the Cosmos, and therefore in a person, in everything that lives and grows on Earth.
       What is a Ringing cedar?.. There are, but very rarely, cedars that accumulate, but don’t give back accumulated energy. After 500 years of their life, they begin to ring. This is how they speak with their quiet ringing, this is how they give a sign that people should take them, cut they down to use the accumulated energy on Earth. So the cedar begs for three years it, deprived of the opportunity to give away the accumulated through the Cosmos, loses the ability to give directly to man. Then he begins to burn energy in himself. This agonizing process of burning and dying of him lasts 27 years.
       According to the story of a Siberian elder (from the book Anastasia – the first book in series), we recently discovered such a cedar and determined that it had been ringing for two years already. Quiet ringing, very quiet. Maybe he is trying to stretch out his request for a longer time, but he has only one more year left. It needs to be cut down and distributed to people…
       The cedar, from needle leaves to bark, has highly effective therapeutic properties. Cedar needles have a high phytoncidity, the ability to easily disinfect the surrounding air, and cedar wood has a characteristic, very pleasant balsamic smell.
     A small piece of cedar wood placed in the home repels moths. The fruits of the Siberian cedar effectively restore male strength and restore youth to a person, significantly increase the body’s resistance, and help it resist many diseases.
       From the stories about cedars heard and read in various literature, the author V. Megre summarized and compared the materials. In books of ethnoscience, a lot is said about the healing properties of cedar. It says that everything from its needle leaves to the bark has highly effective therapeutic properties. Siberian cedar wood has a beautiful appearance, and it is used by craftsmen of artistic woodcarving, making furniture and resonance boards for musical instruments. The quality indicators of the cedar growing in the northern regions are much higher than in the more southern ones.
       Historical information also has been collected, which mentions that famous personalities suffered from bullet wounds, but were very hardy, as they grew up on pine nuts in the Siberian area. There are similar stories from today’s athletes about cases of their endurance. Even in the Bible the cedar is mentioned 42 times, especially in the book of Moses, where God taught how to heal people and decontaminate home with… CEDAR! King Solomon built a temple out of cedar. To deliver the cedar from Lebanon, he gave for it to another king – Heron – twenty cities of his kingdom. Incredible! Given for some material for construction… True, he was rendered one more service. At the request of King Solomon, he was given people who knew how to cut trees, selecting the most suitable ones.
       The druids had a bowl of cedar resin, and it was called the “Chalice of Life”. From the burning of the resin in the bowl, occurred The Fire of Zoroaster.
      To grow a cedar in Latvia, it’s recommended to choose its origin, from which countries and lands it came… Even the Lebanese cedar can be acclimatized when the cedar grows large and adapts to our climatic conditions, does not freeze. In the mountains of Lebanon, where cedar grow, there are also snowy winters, and if trees grow there absolutely naturally, then they would also grow here, under human care. Only small seedlings should be covered from the cold and protected from strong winds. The Lebanese cedar is known for its size, stamina and beauty. He is among the trees like a lord, reaching 30 meters in height and 14 meters around the stump. Once in the mountains of Lebanon there were large cedar forests, which are now trying to revive.
       Korean (Manchurian) cedar pine (in Latin – Pinus koraiensis) is resistant to much higher frosts and winds, it’s root system allows the tree to stay in open mountain ranges, coastal zones amid strong winds, unlike other species of cedar that need shelter in the form of the surrounding woods. Grows well in deep, rich, moist, well-drained soils. At a young age, it is shade-tolerant, it regenerates well under the forest canopy. In our conditions it grows up to 6-7 meters, in the autumn of the second year, cones with seeds – cedar nuts begin to fall down.
       Siberian cedar, or more precisely – Siberian cedar pine (in Latin – Pinus sibirica) can be tried to grow in Latgale, in turn, closer to the coastal area, it is better to choose European cedar pine. They are suitable for our climate and are real, since two beautiful, large 100-year-old cedar pines grow right here in Riga, in park of Zeluste’s manor near the Lake Jugla. Siberian cedar pines grow with pleasure throughout the territory of Latvia – the most beautiful ones are in the dendrological park in Ogre. Two Siberian cedar pines grow in the park of the Bulduri Horticultural High School.
       Siberian pine is a real Siberian cedar. Initially, it was simply called a cedar, and the Lebanese cedar was named in Latin Cedrus – the Cedar tree. It means that Siberian (and European, Korean too) cedars are real, but Lebanese cedars are “like them”.
