a question about an old Russian Tradition

[Marlow Shami]

Dear SEELANGers,

Greetings--

I am doing some research on old Russian Traditions and hope some of you 
might have additional information or resources that could help deepen my 
understanding of the traditions (more details) for my project. 

The old tradition states trees gain protection 
from storms if one ties red ribbons around them.  Another Old Russian custom 
imparts that one should tie a red ribbon from a birch tree to repel the evil 
eye.   
The third Russian legend tells how a birch showed its gratitude to a young 
girl who 
tied a red string around it by saving her from parental abuse.

Any help you can provide in my learning more about these traditions is deeply 
appreciated.
