HOW TO APPRECIATE THE DOMOVOI SERIOUSLY AND FOR A LONG TIME....

Do you have a brownie? A kind of contradictory and unpredictable creature that stomps at night, scatters your slippers, hides combs, lighters and other little things from you? Harmful and dirty ...
But since ancient times, the brownie was considered the main guardian of the house, his personality was taken seriously and with respect, preferring not to spoil relations.

The brownie is unforgiving and terribly fond of gifts. His taste is unpretentious: milk in a saucer on the floor; a crust of bread left on the table after the master's meal; porridge or honey in a special bowl, left in the kitchen, so that the brownie comes out exactly at midnight and has dinner. And a miracle happens: the dirty trickster becomes humble and helpful, protects your good, helps in everyday life, and peace and tranquility reign in the house.

Everything would be fine, but the milk sours and poisons your life with its smell, and the neighboring cockroaches come to feast on other leftover food. Our distant ancestors puzzled for a long time - how to appease the brownie? And they came up with a house. Domovushka- this is an item for decorating everyday life and at home, intended as a gift for a brownie.

It is better to make it yourself than to buy it in a souvenir shop or in the market: this is your brownie, and the best gift for him is made with your own hands. Any natural materials are suitable for manufacturing: leather, bast, cereals, salt dough, dried berries, mushrooms, flowers that need to be attached to the base object - a miniature broom, bast shoes, home slippers.

The first thing to determine is an object on which you can attach small decorations in all their diversity. It could be:

• a broom turned upside down as a talisman against evil spirits;
• decorative bast shoes or slippers as a designation of the place where the brownie lives;
• a wreath or decorative braid as a symbol of infinity and continuity of your family;
• a bread shovel or a painted spoon as the personification of prosperity in the house and hospitality of the owners.

If you have not found anything suitable, you can sew a bag of coarse fabric, for example, linen or burlap, stuff it with cotton wool or cereals and tie it with a beautiful ribbon.

Make sure in advance that the house can be firmly hung on the wall, attach a hook or loop at the back. You can decorate the resulting base with anything,
call on imagination and taste to help, stock up on glue or thread, gather your noisy family around the table and act. Any dried plants look very beautiful in such compositions, especially dried ears of cereals. Any homemade salt dough pastries, small bagels or dryers are suitable for decoration - your brownie will always be full and kind to you.

Sunflower seeds and corn symbolize the energy of the sun and health, rowan fruits - female beauty, beans - physical strength, rice grains - peace in the house, coniferous cones - a symbol of achieving the goal, flax - a talisman against damage and the evil eye, garlic drives away evil spirits. You can use fragrant plants: mint, juniper, lavender.

It is better to hang a brownie in the kitchen, closer to the stove, and if the house has a fireplace, then above it, since brownies love the warmth of an open fire and most often live nearby. This mystical decoration will help you win the trust and love of the brownie, acquire in his face a caring friend and a brave defender. And if the brownie loves someone, he will serve faithfully and faithfully, protecting the coziness and comfort of your home, the peace and prosperity of your family.

HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE HOUSEHOLD?

Lamb, Poltergeist, Brownie - all these words, in fact, mean the same thing, a certain energy essence, a small spirit that settles in human dwellings.
They say that the brownie still lives in every village hut, in many city apartments, but not everyone knows about it.
According to ancient beliefs, from the souls of trees cut down and used to build a house, a house owner was born.

It is believed that a brownie is born as an old grandfather and dies as a baby. Most often, the brownie looks like an old man - small, like a stump, all covered with gray hair (even his palms are hairy), gray from antiquity and dust. Sometimes, in order to avert a curious gaze from himself, he takes on the appearance of the owner of the house - well, like a spitting image! In general, the brownie likes to wear the master's clothes, but always manages to put them back in place as soon as a person needs things.

In childhood, brownies look like balls, covered with long, rough to the touch hair. The hands are small, with soft fingers. Legs may be absent - then the brownies move through the air, hovering a dozen centimeters from the floor. At the sight of a person, they usually become almost transparent and hover motionlessly under the ceiling, but sometimes they begin to fly very quickly around the room, leaving behind a grayish trail.

In adolescence, brownies do not have a gender, but for a long time living next to a person, he gradually acquires the appearance, character and gender of his master.
In different regions of Russia, the brownie takes on different images. In addition to the old man, the village brownies pretend to be a hare, a bear, a lynx, or are shown as a shadow on the wall. City brownies often take the form of a mouse, snake, weasel or cat.

And his name is different - Domovik; Granddad; Posten; Lizun; Domozhil; Master; Wen; undead; Sousedko, Zapechnik, Guardian Spirit, Demon-harmmaker, but that's all he is - the keeper of the hearth, the invisible helper of the owners.

The Brownie differs from demons in that he does not do evil, but only jokes sometimes, even renders services if he loves the owner or mistress. The one he loves, he curls his hair and beards into braids, and the one he does not love, he pinches him to bruises at night. Some kind of trouble is judged by these bruises, especially if the bruise hurts a lot.
If the brownie fell in love with the household, then he warns of misfortune, guards the house and yard

This neighborhood can be different, it depends on the "character" of your "roommate". But, what is most surprising, the characters of brownies are formed by the people themselves.

Brownies they feed on our emotions, they will never “eat” us by force, like, for example, vampires, they simply feed on the energy that you create around you. If you are an absurd, noisy person, in your house there is a “prickly” energy and a heavy, oppressive atmosphere, then your brownie in such an environment will in no way be able to be kind and affectionate. If he doesn’t run away from such an unkind house at all, then, most likely, he will manifest himself as follows: scare the owners with howls and screams, hide things, spoil furniture and utensils, push, frighten, strangle people and other unpleasant actions on his part.

With such actions, we, without thinking twice, say that the house has wound up Poltergeist, and we begin to expel him in every possible way, not at all thinking that it is our poor Brownie who is forced to defend himself, since he has already “brutalized” from constant scandals and negativity. In this case, in the kitchen, in a secluded corner at sunset, leave a saucer with milk and a bakery product and sincerely ask for forgiveness from the house.

But if his pranks are expressed in spontaneous combustion of objects, bad graffiti on the walls, and other things of that kind, then Domovoy should show who is the boss in the house. You need to take a belt in your hand and go around the house and quilting furniture, walls, floors and things to sentence in an authoritative and strong voice:

“Know your place, know your place.
You must guard the house, take care of the economy,
Yes, to please the mistress, and not to fight,
Know your place, know your place."
You can say any words, the main thing is that they be spoken by the owner of the house.

If you are unable to negotiate with the brownie, take a broom and, saying: "I'm sweeping you out, a stranger, a harmful brownie, I'm kicking you out" - mark the floors, looking into every corner with a broom. And so every day, except Friday, all week. I want to warn you, it's worth trying all the methods of influencing your Brownie. And scold, and scold, and caress, and only if nothing comes of it, and he is really very angry, then kick him out, but remember, life is bad without Brownie.

Calm, friendly, positive hosts have the same calm and positive Brownies in their homes, but a good Brownie, unlike an angry one, is more difficult to track, since he does not manifest himself so clearly.

According to common belief, the Brownie lives behind the stove, and if the owner has horses and a stable, then he is placed near the horses. In urban conditions, they settle under the stove, in the oven, under the bathroom, on the mezzanine or in the closet.

Kind brownie usually quietly dozing somewhere under the ceiling in the form of a bundle of energy, coming to the aid of the owners at the right moments. In houses with such brownies, things are less likely to be lost, or they are found very quickly, people swear less often, money is saved better, providing the owners with sustainable material wealth, and pets do not get sick. It is almost impossible to see a good brownie, unless you are endowed with a special gift that allows you to see the energy of everything around you, but his presence is felt in a sense of care and patronage.
However, pets and small children can see the brownie: Barabashka, for example, sometimes even plays with the child and answers his questions.

Do not try to communicate with Domov, to see him, it may be unsafe for your psyche. All magical creatures are not very fond of people intruding into their lives, and Brownies are no exception. To get rid of your too obsessive attention, Brownies can affect your psyche, so much so that you lose sleep and appetite, the whole rhythm of life is disrupted, serious mental and health problems can begin. And if this doesn’t stop you, and you continue to impose your communication on Domovoy, then he can turn into an angry poltergeist.

What does the brownie do?

He helps to manage the household, protects property from damage, theft and other troubles, primarily from fire. Sometimes they hear how he, sitting in the master's place, is engaged in the master's work, while none of this is visible.
The brownie not only performs the duties of the owner of the house, but also patronizes livestock, guards and takes care of it. His main business is to inspect the household. The brownie sees every little thing, tirelessly cares and fusses so that everything is in order and ready: he helps the hard worker, corrects his mistake; he is pleased with the offspring of domestic animals and birds; he does not tolerate unnecessary expenses and is angry with them - in a word, the brownie is inclined to work, thrifty and prudent.

He monitors the energetic cleanliness of housing. Unlike a person, he sees all the energy garbage scattered around the apartment, and this makes him very upset. The brownie gets dirty in it, his mood worsens. It can also clean small energy debris from the apartment. He cannot cope with serious damage, so you can help him by performing the ritual of cleansing the house with a candle. However, it is worth remembering: if you very often and very seriously clean your apartment energetically, then it is possible that by your actions you will expel your brownie from home.

When everything is in order in the house, clean and tidy, there is no energetic dirt, the brownie feels great. He loves such a master and helps him in every possible way.

The brownie keeps things safe. In such a house, everything will work, dishes will not break and appliances will not break. He helps to find the missing things. To do this, you just need to ask him about it: “Owner-father, help, tell me where this and that lies ...”

He also watches over small children and prevents various troubles. The brownie loves to appear to small children, who accept him as a big plush toy and fumble and play with him from the heart.
The brownie plays with children with pleasure. If the brownie loves to mess with your baby, this is a good sign. He will not only play with him, but also protect him from minor troubles - matches, scissors, etc.
If a small child does not sleep well at night and is naughty, before putting the child to bed, put a treat for the house and ask him: "Brownie, brownie! Calm down my child!"

The brownie can wake up the owner in the morning if he has important business. Can remind you of forgotten things.
Before leaving the house, he will always remind a good owner: turn off the light, gas, water, iron, etc.

The brownie feels the approach of damage in advance. If, for example, an unkind person with evil intentions and black thoughts comes to visit you, then the brownie begins to worry. He tries to warn the owner. If the owner of the apartment does not hear the whispers of the brownie, then the latter will do anything to attract attention. An unkind guest can break out of the hands of a mug and break, spill something on the tablecloth. Sometimes the dishes break at the owner himself - this is also a warning.

Unpleasant guests brownie tries to survive with all his might. He begins to choke them, put pressure on them. Such guests become uncomfortable with you - everything annoys them, they are stuffy, in the end they have one thought left - to quickly leave your house.

It is believed that Brownie often warns his owners about any changes in life. For example, he leans on a sleeping person during the night and crushes him, so that at this time you can neither move nor say a word. Lie down calmly, restore your breath and mentally ask the brownie what he wants to say - good or bad: "For good or for worse?" . The answer will follow immediately - a hollow voice will say "yes" or "no". If good, he will stroke you; if the hand is woolen - this is for the money. Feel the pain - a warning about the illness of someone close.
Most often, Brownie gives information to the oldest person in the family. It can be dreams, prophecies, signs, hints, knocks, any images seen with peripheral vision.

In his free time from sleep, he wanders around the apartment, goes about his business, plays with animals.
If the Brownie disliked your cat, be sure that she will not last long in the house. If, on the contrary, he fell in love, he will play with her. Pay attention, sometimes your fluffy pet suddenly topples over on its back and starts waving its paws in the air. It is her brownie tickling. Sometimes a cat, while licking itself, will wake up and stare into the void, and looks as if following someone with a look. This invisible traveler is the brownie.
The brownie's favorite pastime is hide and seek. He hides the right thing and has fun watching the search. To find the missing, you need to say: “Brownie, brownie, don’t joke with me. I took the thing, played it - put it back, return it.
If spoons, knives, watches, etc. disappear in the house and you cannot find the missing thing, then stand in the corner of the room and contact the brownie: "Brownie, brownie, play and give back" . Look in each room separately.
If he is naughty too often, then he seriously suffers from loneliness. Then, after the next hide and seek, hint that you are not against his marriage. To do this, you need to tie any handkerchief, except for the nasal one, around the leg of the chair and say: “Brownie-grandfather, here’s a girlfriend for you, look at her, what you took, return it.” If Dmovoy lives well, he acquires a wife - Domovikha and a child - Domovenko.

Domovoy's wife - Domovikha, Domakha, Bolshukha, Marukh, Kikimora (not to be confused with the forest and swamp kikimora!) Often messes up and is weird. He rearranges furniture, shifts things to his taste, confuses threads, frightens children with a sudden clatter of heels. But sometimes it helps the owners, warns them of trouble.
Usually Domovuha-kikimora appears in the form of a dry little woman, a head with a thimble, straw legs. In mid-May (the time for the matchmaking of brownies), her skin turns green, and damn sparks appear in her eyes. It can also appear as a girl with a white face, black eyes and long black hair.

How not to offend Domovoy.

In the common people they have respect for Domovoy, so that the peasant is afraid of offending him with something and is even careful not to pronounce his name without purpose. In conversations, they do not call him a brownie, but "grandfather, master, big or himself."

It is believed that he does not like mirrors, also goats, as well as those who sleep near the threshold or under the threshold. They say that Brownie does not like lazy people.
You can’t whistle in the house, since the Brownie can’t stand the whistle, he can leave the house, and sometimes immediately and forever.

Brownies also really dislike tobacco smoke, so it’s better never to smoke in your house, as this smoke settles on household utensils, furniture and does not disappear.

According to popular beliefs, piercing and cutting objects (forks, knives, etc.), as well as salt, pepper, garlic, and onions, should not be left on the table at night, because this prevents Domovoy from protecting the house and resisting evil forces.

In addition, the Brownie does not tolerate dirty kitchen appliances and dishes standing in the kitchen for a long time, and when the owner is far from the kitchen, you can hear the characteristic knocks and rattling of dishes. The brownie's anger can be subdued by placing a few coins on the hallway cabinet or on the roof of the bookcase in the hall.

Do not forget to greet and say goodbye to Domov, calling him respectfully "Master". Sometimes Brownie can reveal his name to you - this is a very positive sign.

How to communicate with Domov

Previously, people believed that if you talk to Domov, you can either become numb or become a stutterer forever. Therefore, it is recommended to simply listen to what Brownie warns about. If the dishes rattle, a fire may occur; if it is doused with water, then to illness; and if he cries and groans, then I will burn; if he starts howling and slamming doors - to death.

If the family has only the appearance of well-being, but in fact the husband and wife do not get along, then knives often disappear in such a house.
Another sign from Domovoy may be the constant loss of socks. Most often, this is a warning to a man who lives a double life or leaves all the housework on his wife, completely withdrawing himself. However, this may also be a protest against the fact that general cleaning has not been done for a long time, and Brownie does not like disorder. Clean up the apartment, and all the socks will become paired. In a word, if the Brownie starts to buzz, then something is wrong in the family.

It is necessary to determine the Domovoy place where he would sleep, hide. Although, usually, the brownie finds and equips such a place for himself, but sometimes he directly shows what he likes here - be indulgent.

Brownie is a thinking being. Moreover, he easily reads your thoughts. First you need to know that you can talk with Domov both mentally and out loud. If your family perceives this normally, then it is possible in the presence of family members.
Of course, the brownie has a name, but since you don’t know him, you can refer to him as “Grandfather”, “Grandfather-housewife”, “Master-father”, “House-father”, “Sir-brownie”, “Neighbor”. Speaking about the brownie in the third person, respectfully call him “he”, “himself” - your brownie will appreciate the respectful attitude. Ask him to help with something, promise something tasty or toys.

Usually Brownie speaks to you in his own language, which is not always easy to understand. He can be asked “Brownie, brownie, we don’t wish you harm, explain what you want” . The answer can be felt with the palm of your hand: heat means yes, cold means no.

What does the brownie like to play with?
Old beads, jewelry, shiny buttons, old coins. Put all this in a beautiful box without a lid and tell Brownie that this is a gift for him, and put it in a secret place. No one should touch the box and its contents. The box can be sewn from postcards, glued together or taken ready-made and dressed up with all sorts of shiny pieces of paper, rain.
Give Domovoy some money. Usually it is five kopecks in one coin. It is placed in a hard-to-reach place in the house, often left between cracks in the floor. At this time they say: "Grandfather brownie! Here's some money for boots and seeds. I give from the bottom of my heart, I give you!”
If the Brownie is spoiled, then he should be scolded: “Such an adult grandfather and play pranks. Oh no no no!" . He will be ashamed and he will try to make amends.

The best way to communicate with Domovoi is treat him delicious . The brownie will surely appreciate your care, and will try to thank you sooner or later. All esoteric literature recommends pouring milk into a clean saucer, and putting the treat in a secluded warm corner. Also, you can add a few sweets, cookies to milk. Sometimes you need to pamper your Brownie with porridge - for example, on the first day of each month.

It is better to put goodies under the battery. If there are dogs, cats or other animals in the house, then put it on the refrigerator or in a corner so that the Brownie is comfortable, and away from human eyes, and so that the animals do not get it. Putting goodies, you should say: "This is for you, Grandfather-housewife" . Then happiness in the house will increase, and peace between households.

On big holidays (Maundy Thursday, Easter, Christmas) in good families, after a festive dinner, they always left a house treat on the table.
Even the name day of Domovoy "housekeeper" was celebrated, they were celebrated on February 10, on Efrim Sirin. On this day, it was necessary to leave the “owner” of the hotel on the table. Usually it is bread with porridge. At the same time they said: “Owner-father, take care of the economy », "The hostess-priest, take bread and salt, drive prosperity" . After the celebratory supper, the "susedko" was humble and obliging all year round. If this is not done, then the Brownie from a good creature could turn into an evil and harmful one, and after that all things in the household will go awry.

All the food that was given to the brownie is then given to pets or any animals on the street, birds. Porridge is removed the next day, and sweets are kept until the next first day.

Also, on family holidays, do not forget to put a glass of wine on Brownie (do not offer vodka) and something tasty. At the same time say: "X the owner-father, sir brownie, love me, yes, perhaps, accept my treat. . Everyone clinks glasses with a glass of Brownie.

On the ninth of June, on the day of Fyodor, the brownie settles down to sleep on a broom, and it can be accidentally taken out of the house along with the garbage. Therefore, on this day, the peasants in Russia did not grind the floors at all, so that prosperity and comfort would not leave the house together with the brownie.

But on the twelfth of April, on John of the Ladder, the brownie could play tricks and rage all night until the roosters crowed.

How to check if your house has a brownie

By the way, in such a simple way - leaving treats for the Brownie - you can check if he is, in general, in your house, using the pendulum technique in the morning.

Hang any object on a long thread - a ring, a large bead, any object that seems most suitable for this. The pendulum answers questions by swinging in different directions, yes or no. Leaving the offering for the night, check the energy of milk in the morning. Yes, milk will be untouched at first glance, if cats do not lap it up, because brownies are energy entities, and they feed on energy, respectively. Your pendulum will not be able to answer the question whether milk is good or bad, it will simply stand still without swinging, because all the energy from milk will go away. This means you have a brownie, and he accepted your offering.

Also, the presence of the Brownie can be checked like this: in apartments, it is quite possible that the favorite place of the Brownie's housing is the bathroom, namely the washing machine. If you put a mirror on a stand on it, then most likely, during the day this mirror will be overturned.

When moving to a new house or apartment, do not forget to take your Brownie with you.

In order to avoid trouble, from time immemorial, when moving to a new house, it was necessary to carry out a small ritual so that the brownie moved with the owners. Since it is believed that the Brownie cannot live without people. Abandoned in an old and abandoned house, having lost his owners, Domovoy bitterly cries and howls ...

On the last night, the host must invite him, setting him a treat - a slice of bread with salt and a cup of milk. They say: “Father, my master, my good brownie. I will give you new mansions, bright chambers. Come with me, without you there will be no happiness.
Leaving the old apartment, on the threshold say: "My master, come with me" . In the old days, when moving to a new place, the housewives took the coal out of the stove, put it in a bast shoe (or other shoes) and solemnly transported it to a new home. They believed that a brownie could turn into such a coal if he wanted to move to a new building. Well, now they are carrying Domovoy in a bag, where he is politely asked to climb. An ember or an awl, which should be put in a bag, becomes the material embodiment of the Brownie. Domovoy will not go with you without an invitation . And stay alone and abandoned. And with your Domovoy, well-being in a new place is guaranteed to you.

An ideal gift for the Brownie in this case is a 2-3-month-old kitten, best of all motley (tri-color) or striped, therefore, when moving to a new place of residence, this animal is let in first, saying: “Here you are, master, a shaggy beast for rich housing” . Then the kitten should be immediately brought to the kitchen to the stove, put on the floor, without letting go, and say: “I give you, brownie-father, a furry beast for a rich yard” . If the brownie accepts the "beast", then he will definitely take him under his protection and can severely take revenge on those who offend the cat (cat). They say that “whoever kicks a cat will hurt his leg, and whoever kills a cat will have no luck in anything for seven years”
Then make a pie. Knead the dough: 800 g flour, 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons sugar, 200 g butter, 2 pinches of salt. Bake a bun. Do not touch the product for three days. After the specified period in the evening, set the table for the whole family, put an extra appliance and a glass. The elder in the house pours wine, cuts the bun. He divides one half for everyone, and puts the other half along with a glass on the table with the words: “Father brownie, love me, protect and take care of my good, accept my treat and drink wine from a full cup.” If after a day the wine is drunk, then add it again, saying the same words, if not, then ask the brownie to accept the treat in your own words 9 times.

If your family began to be haunted by troubles, life troubles, quarrels and scandals became more frequent in the house, you need to establish contact with your Brownie by performing the following ritual:

Bread and salt are placed on the place you have chosen for the brownie and a cup of milk is placed with the words: “Neighbor-homebody, a slave is coming to you, carrying his head low; do not torment him in vain, but make friends with him, make friends with him, and do an easy service. Here is a warm place and a small treat for you.” After a day, remove the treat.

How to attract a brownie if he is not in the house?

The absence of the Brownie is felt immediately: sleep is disturbed, there is no peace in the soul, things break and deteriorate, animals do not take root, with time longing sets in and the desire to live disappears.
The ritual described above was how to pick up your brownie if you move to a new place of residence. If, having bought a house in a new building, you moved there from your parents (or in other cases when it is not possible to take Domovoy with you), you can attract Domovoy in the following way: at midnight (if you wear a cross, hang it on your back) put a glass on the table milk and a loaf of bread and say three times: “My master, come to my house, be always with me, here is your home. Batiushka, breadwinner, come to my new house to eat bread here, drink milk, and we will not know sorrow and grief. Amen". leave the treat on the table for 3 days, and then, as a sign of love and respect, finish your bread and drink the milk left on the table.
It’s a completely natural question - does Brownie live with you now - you can easily resolve it, paying attention to how subtly the situation in the house has changed, how light and comfortable it has become, how longing is gradually passing. After that, thank him by putting a treat.

There is a second way to invite a brownie to your house:
On the new moon, when you begin to have dinner, put two saucers with refreshments - pour a little milk into one and identify it under the stove or by the stove oven with the words: "Eat, drink, grandfather, as much as you want, and live with me."
In the second saucer, put a little of what you have on the table. When you bet, you need to say: “Eat, eat, grandfather, as much as you want, and live with me” . If you speak sincerely, then Brownie will certainly come and stay with you. And expel all kinds of evil

Although the brownie is considered the cousin of the devil, he fights with his forces, protecting us. Let's not create obstacles for him in this useful work.
Observing all the fads, you will be surprised how much your life in the house has changed. Relationships became smoother, you began to feel better, more confident, calmer and, as a result of all this, became more successful.

Interesting fact: At the end of the holiday of meeting spring (from the day of the vernal equinox to Ladodenia), the ancient Slavs began the actual spring, according to the current calendar - April 1. This day was considered the Day of Awakening Domovoy. The Slavs believed that for the winter he (like many animals and spirits) hibernated, waking up only occasionally to do the necessary housework. And when spring came finally and irrevocably, the main guardian spirit of the hearth - Brownie - had to wake up to put things in order in the house, clean the barn, start preparing for the sowing season, lubricate the carts.
When we suddenly wake up in the middle of a sweet dream to the ringing of an alarm clock or from the loud voice of caring relatives, we are often unhappy with this. We yawn and grumble why we woke up so early. Children in general begin to act up. And the Brownie often has the habits of a child, and after a long winter hibernation, he also wakes up not very joyful. And then he starts to play pranks. Either he pours out flour or cereals, or soils his linen, in a peasant economy he could confuse manes for horses, scare cows. Not much!..
Of course, our distant ancestors tried to cajole the disgruntled Domovoy with porridge, milk and bread, but, as you know, spectacles should also be attached to bread. Such spectacles for the awakened spirit were widespread festivities, jokes, laughter of people in the house, who played each other all day. To make it more fun for the brownie, the inhabitants of the house put on their clothes inside out, like the very spirit of the ancestor, who, as you know, wears his fur vest with the seams out; different socks or shoes certainly flaunted on their feet, and in conversation everyone tried to deceive each other or joke so that the owner-priest brownie would forget that he had just woken up.
Over time, they forgot about the meeting of spring and the cajoling of the brownie on the first of April, but the tradition of joking, playing and deceiving on this day remained. As the proverb remained - on the first of April I do not trust anyone.

Appeals to psychics on the topic of how to appease a brownie in an apartment are not uncommon. He constantly pursued the residents of the monastery, which is located in the private sector, today it is also seen in multi-apartment residential buildings.

Why is it important to make friends with brownies

Imagine the situation: you bought a brand new apartment, moved in safely, settled down, and after a month or two you realize that someone else lives on these square meters. Moreover, he considers himself a full-fledged owner and tries in every possible way to force you to leave the premises.

Noticing otherworldly things - turning on lights or non-working electrical appliances, sounds, rustles, a gaze, moving objects - you will begin to think that you are going crazy. Arrange an interrogation of your loved ones living with you, and then realize that you have become a victim of the intrigues of an old house-man.

Nickname is inaccurate. Psychics argue that the image of a little shaggy grandfather, which has become entrenched in folklore, does not correspond to the appearance of the entity that settles with you. :

• the spirit of a deceased relative of the owners;
• the previous owner of the apartment, who died an unintended death or committed suicide;
• accidentally or intentionally caused otherworldly force (demon, poltergeist).

Do not rush to get rid of the tenant. Find out what he wants from you first. Remember, the brownie is shown before important events in life. With a good attitude of residents, it protects the house from magical interference, negative energy and other troubles. Then it is impossible to eliminate the invisible assistant, you can simply agree with him.

Use one of the methods that we present:

1. The mysterious neighbor is flattered when he is treated with respect, as the head of the house, and is called the father or the owner, he is addressed as “housekeeper” or “grandfather”.
2. By the nature of brownies - a silent one, however, groans and gives signals about future changes. Despite the lack of sociability, the "owner" loves when they ask him for advice, talk about experiences, just say a greeting every morning or after an absence.
3. In order for the keeper of the hearth to live comfortably, take care of the place of lodging for the night. Choose a secluded corner and build a cozy bed: take a basket or a shoe box, lay bright shreds of fabric on the bottom so that grandfather can sleep softly. Do not forget to make a blanket so that the brownies do not freeze on cold winter evenings.
4. The spirit loves when people take care of the premises, which he so diligently protects from evil. Do not be shy about signs of respect for your home: occasionally stroke the walls, pat on the sofa, clean the apartment more often so that dirt and rubbish do not accumulate.

The Slavs performed one simple ritual - try to do it yourself.

It is necessary to perform the ceremony on the third night of the full moon. Clean up the house the day before, light a candle at midnight and stand with it in the center of any of the rooms. Bow to four sides and say:

Master-father, bless our house for happiness and prosperity!

Repeat the sacrament three times - on the second and third full moon.

In the old days, the presence of an invisible helper was considered important. Ancestors tried pick up a brownie when moving to other housing, and many specially fed.

Sorcerers know that treats are loved by the entities that live around. When brownie naughty or strangles at night, try to treat delicious.

Boil porridge with milk, as the Slavic ancestors did, or leave a plate with a sweet treat (candy, candy, cookies) in a secluded corner - it was popularly believed that the mysterious neighbor lives behind the stove. There are also ways to make friends with a housekeeper in an apartment.

In order for the invisible owner to show favor, leave food for him in the cache at night. In the corner near the refrigerator or the space under the battery.

Know: brownie loves milk - pour more often into a glass of your favorite drink. Pour buckwheat porridge into a saucer. Treats for brownies - a piece of bread seasoned with salt.

However, do not overdo it with treats, constantly appeasing the brownie, you risk acquiring unwanted living creatures from the insect order. When you store up a gift for the night, do not forget to clean up the rest in the morning.

There are also certain days when people feed a home defender. This is the night before January 28, February 7 and April 1.

Choose a beautiful plate, put something tasty on it and turn to the keeper with the words:

“Our dear host, invisible to the eyes! With great respect I offer you a treat.
Protect our monastery and all household members, so as not to decay in fire and drown in water,
So that prosperity arrives and the house is a full bowl!

Surely you have heard stories about how the old man loves to play pranks: he hides money, jewelry and other small items, rattles dishes in the kitchen at night, crumbs are found on the table in the morning. Or personally encountered similar tricks of a secret tenant.

The evil spirit drives out those people who, due to circumstances, have to rent someone else's housing. He is unhappy that a stream of different people passes through the walls of the house, and tries to show himself as a full owner.

It is possible to improve relations - give a trifle that will become a toy for him.

A wonderful gift to the keeper of the hearth - old beads that no one wears. He will also be delighted with beautiful buttons.

When you choose a trinket, decorate it in a beautiful bright box and leave it in a secluded place. Angry will enjoy the new toy without fear that he will be noticed doing such an activity.

There is no time or desire to make bright containers - you can bring a shiny coin to your housewife - hide it behind the plinth. Warn the creature to do this:

“Here, master, money for boots! Here's a penny for sweets, grandfather!

In each house lives a responsible "tenant" - brownie. Among the people, he is considered the main entity that leads all the otherworldly creatures that live in our house; but his primary task is to keep order in the dwelling.

The brownie hates when there are scandals, quarrels or some kind of bickering in the house. He is offended and very worried when people carelessly treat things, stop paying attention to the household, make a mess. If this happens, then he can begin to "educate" people. When the brownie is angry, then the household members have a bad mood for a long time, the equipment starts to fail, small things are lost, the light turns on spontaneously or the bulbs burn out, everything breaks and flies out of hand.

It is worth noting that if problems and troubles concern not only the household, and are also not limited to the territory in which you live, then most likely an evil eye or a curse is on you. You can find additional information on the negative energy impact in the "Magic, rituals and conspiracies" section or use the search on the site.

What you need to do to get along with the brownie

For him, it is necessary that the house was always clean. In Russian beliefs, it is believed that he walks under the wall and lives in a corner behind a broom. So, there should not be any dirty panicles and garbage in the corners.

Once a month, the brownie needs to be specially coaxed, or rather, fed. Boil him some kind of porridge, preferably buckwheat or rice. Put the treat behind the stove, and if the stove is mortise, then in the corner next to it. In the past, our ancestors put food on the stove, in our time it is enough to put it in an apartment near the stove.

On a clean, light-colored napkin, put a spoonful of porridge in a saucer and be sure to add 2-3 tablespoons of honey to it, as he loves sweets very much. If possible, then put a glass of Cahors. After everything is done, say words of gratitude, for example like this: our host brownie, thank you very much for having us, thank you for the fact that we have everything clean and in good order, that you look after our house, for that we are all in a good mood, etc. The next day, this porridge and wine should be poured under a tree in the yard, since the brownie does not eat the food itself, but its energy, in other words, the “soul” of food.

If you please the brownie, then he will always return what he hid from you. You can find a lost thing in the same place where you searched several times before, or perhaps in a completely different place in the house. In the future, he will only help you in certain household affairs, because the brownie is primarily a family member.

Most people have never thought about them - the invisible owners of our dwellings - brownies. But if something starts to happen in the apartment, then they are remembered, and all the misfortunes are blamed on them. The question "how to appease a brownie" is often asked by those who feel that they are being strangled in their sleep. Or if a "poltergeist" settled in the apartment, he is also a "drum". Know that the brownie has absolutely nothing to do with it, and these phenomena must be considered separately from it.

If you wake up with a feeling of horror, as if someone is strangling or crushing you, if at the same time you feel icy cold or numbness of different parts of the body, this has nothing to do with the tricks of the brownie. Ask yourself if you have been under any stress lately. Are you too nervous and worried? All of the above are typical symptoms of sleep paralysis. You can turn to a neurologist, it is better to drink a course of mild sedatives yourself, preferably of plant origin. For example, valerian. Keep in mind that stress can be subtle - you just suppressed your emotions for too long, and you have an internal crisis. Naturally, in this case, you need to figure out what is happening to you. But "sleep paralysis" should not be brushed aside. Its consequences can be very tragic - from neurosis to cardiac arrest in a dream.

The second case when the brownie is undeservedly suspected of "minor dirty tricks" is the appearance or manifestation in the apartment of an evil, noisy spirit, which is now called the "poltergeist". If your light bulbs or chandelier shades burst, objects (especially sharp ones) fall, things break, various groans, creaks and steps are heard - these are typical symptoms of the presence of a “drum”. It is useless to negotiate with him, and his actions are not only annoying, but also harmful. Sometimes they can be life-threatening especially if there is a small child in the house. "Poltergeist", unlike the brownie, are afraid and do not like cats. Therefore, if you see that your fluffy pet jumps up in horror for no reason and looks into empty space, most likely you have unwanted guests. The easiest way out: spray the entire apartment with holy water, directly from the spray bottle. If the case is difficult, invite the priest home and ask him to bless your home.

Is there a brownie at home?

A real brownie is a big help around the house. It is unlikely that you will see its manifestations clearly, but you can feel them. First of all, it creates a feeling of comfort, or, in modern psychological terms, “improves the microclimate in the family. But he is also capable of small feats - to protect you from a fall, a cut, a rash decision. He will look after a small child, save the house from theft - just scare away thieves from him. It will also save you from a fire - no, it will not flood the fire with water. Just at the right moment, you suddenly remember that you forgot to turn off the stove or you will feel the smell of burning in time. The manifestations of the brownie are always soft and delicate. No wonder in the old days he was treated very affectionately by “master”, “neighbor”, and tried in every possible way to appease him. Think for yourself, if the brownie were at least a little dangerous or harmful, would they invite him to a new house when moving, and even conduct special rituals for this?

Brownies are very fond of communication - affectionate and respectful. They always listen to you and will definitely hear all your words. Just make it clear that you are talking specifically to the brownie, and not just muttering to yourself.

The brownie will especially favor the house in which it is always cleanly tidied up. Sweep more often, throw out the garbage in time, do not allow the appearance of “abandoned corners”. All things should be in their places. Brownies are very friendly with cats, but they will not get along with restless or aggressive dogs.

Treat for the brownie

How to show the brownie that you love him and care about him? Offer him a treat. And in the most beautiful dish, but put it higher, for example, on a closet. It can be milk in a saucer and a piece of cake or just buns. You can offer a candy, a piece of chocolate, but he will be more pleased with the pastries that you made with your own hands.

A treat for the brownie is left in the evening with the words: "House-Domovoi, this is a treat for you from us, with our full respect." Or: “Father brownie, guardian and zealot of my family. Come back from the wide roads, from the outskirts of others, to your father's threshold, to your corner. Batiushka brownie, sit down side by side, let's talk amicably. Amen". And even quite simply: “this is for you, housewife, help yourself”, “brownie-brownie, sit down to eat with me.” And if you have children, teach them such a counting rhyme: “Brownie Yegorka, treat yourself to sour cream with a slide and don’t grumble or shout about the housework.” It goes without saying that in this case cream or sour cream should be present in the treat.

Many are waiting for the treat to “get lost”, that is, the brownie will taste it. Like, if all the food is in place, then there is no brownie or he did not accept your offering. Nothing like this! Do you know why incense sticks are lit in temples? Because spirits feed exclusively on fragrances. In ancient times, lambs were sacrificed - they were also thrown into the "sacrificial fire". So your brownie-neighbor will taste not the treat itself, but its “spirit”. At the same time, it is very important that you utter the dedication words, in any arbitrary form. Otherwise, the "victim" is not considered. By the way, for the same reason, food left for a cat or dog cannot be considered a treat for a brownie - it was not intended for him.

How to pick up a brownie when moving

When moving to a new apartment, you can take your faithful assistant with you. To do this, you need to sweep, then lightly scatter the garbage and invite the brownie to come with you three times. Then the garbage is collected and transported to a new place together with a broom. There you should again scatter garbage and invite the brownie to settle with you three times. After a day, garbage can be collected and thrown away in the usual manner, and a treat can be served to the brownie. It is better to take a new broom for this, however, then you can use it. It would be nice to be the first to let a cat into a new apartment, it is believed that she is able to remove negative and alien energy to you. If there is no cat, just bring in a new broom - the result will be the same.

Brownie Day

In Russia, the name day of the brownie is considered to be April 1st. On this day, take a closer look at the brownie, and along with the treat, say: “Congratulations, grandfather, happy birthday!”. It is advisable to choose a treat so that it does not deteriorate, and you need to update it on the 1st of each month.

But the most important rule for communicating with brownies is a peaceful atmosphere in the house. Do not allow swearing, screaming, violent showdown. From constant quarrels, the brownie will first become nervous, and then angry. There will still be no great harm from him, but he will deprive you of his patronage and protection. Therefore, if you want to keep peace and comfort in your home, resolve all issues in a friendly and gentle tone. And then your "housekeeper" will help you in everything, protect and fill the house with goodness and prosperity.

Beliefs about spirits protecting homes from troubles originated in Russia a very long time ago. The first mentions date back to the XIV-XV centuries, but the word "Brownie" itself, which characterizes the home spirit, appeared somewhat later in the XVII-XVIII centuries. Our Rusichi ancestors believed that a brownie is present in every dwelling and invisibly protects its inhabitants from troubles, illnesses, failures and evil spirits. The modern demonological dictionary has 46 other names of the brownie used in the old days. Here are some of them:

• barn
• Dodrozhsh
• Breadwinner
• Father
• stableman
• Sosedushko

The modern definition of a brownie sounds somewhat different.

Brownie The energy structure of any room or other enclosed space.

It is believed that the brownie can be present not only in the house, but also in the bathhouse, car and even the yard.

Brownie origin

There is no clear opinion about the origin of the brownie. Christianity believes that the brownie is a negative spirit that should not be present in the room. As if brownies are the ancestors of the clan, cursed by God for a certain period and forced to serve the descendants, each time taking on the guise of the previous already deceased owner of the dwelling.

Question how to appease a brownie, any priest of the Russian Orthodox Church will tell you that not everything is in order in your house and you should bless the apartment. The ancient Slavs, being pagans, thought differently and revered their brownies. It was believed that the brownie is a spirit that replaced the pagan god Rod, or Chur, the memory of which was preserved in the exclamation-amulet “Chur, me!”. Modern man sometimes uses this exclamation, absolutely not guessing what Chur he is calling.

The brownie can be embodied in completely different guises. To some he appeared as a small clumsy man, others saw him in the guise of a small but rather strong old man, to the third he appeared as a big fluffy cat. Some are sure that the appearance of the brownie changes depending on how the household will accept it better, but if he appeared in the guise of one of the family members, then this is not good. A person will either get sick or die.

Communication with the brownie

The brownie doesn’t particularly like to communicate, but if he wants to protect the household from trouble or warn about something, he can make strange causeless sounds (knocks), if the danger is great, he can go on and call, then the person will hear it like the rustle of leaves or the howling of the wind, although outside the window will be absolutely calm.

His warnings are not limited to auditory manifestations. It is not uncommon for a brownie to pinch or strangle its owners in a dream. It has not yet led to a death, but it is not pleasant enough. If at the moment of suffocation they wake up and, having pulled themselves together, ask the brownie, for good or for worse, his behavior, then there is a chance to find out valuable information about your near future.

Some are sure that the brownie should be appeased, since a good relationship with him can have a very favorable effect on the life of the owner of the house.

Brownie is an energy entity that loves a clean aura in an apartment. He sees all the energy garbage scattered around the house, stepping into which he gets dirty, which upsets him very much and puts him in a bad mood.

If a person does not eliminate annoying brownie reasons, he may leave the house forever. If in the house on the contrary, cleanliness and order are both energetic and spiritual, then the brownie is happy to help his master.

It can warn about a fire, or remind you of forgotten things, help you find a thing or wake you up in the morning for work. If a bad person comes to the house, then the brownie will do everything to kick him out. The guest can, as if by accident, break the dishes, spill the contents of the glass on the tablecloth. The owner, too, can suddenly drop something out of his hands. This brownie warns and tries to protect you. To achieve such favor from the brownie, you need to establish contact with him.

How to make friends with brownies

There are two proven ways to appease the brownie. At midnight of the third day of the full moon in a clean apartment, you need to stand in the center of the room with a lit candle and bow on all four sides, then say:

Hostess, sir, let's go to my house, to a rich courtyard, to live, to be, to wealth!

The second way to make friends with a brownie is quite simple and does not require repetition. It is enough to choose the end of any week and at midnight from Sunday to Monday in the kitchen put a crust of rye bread thickly sprinkled with salt with a piece of meat or boiled potatoes on the edge of the table and read three times:

The owner, dear, invisible to the eyes! Accept the treat, I offer it with respect. Protect us with your strength and zeal, so as not to be flooded with water, so as not to be scorched by fire, so as not to lose wealth.

In the morning, come to the kitchen before everyone in the household and eat this treat yourself.

How else to appease the brownie and make friends with him? This is done simply. Make a sacrifice to him. On the night of January 28, his favorite treat is placed in the oven on the most beautiful plate in the form of a crust of rye bread sprinkled with salt with two tablespoons of buckwheat porridge and left until morning. Take it all away and throw it away.

Brownies love it very much when people remember them, leave treats for them, thank them for their help with the housework, give small shiny things and new coins, say hello (by the way, you need to talk aloud with the brownie, it is believed that he cannot read thoughts) and respectfully address “Master ".

They do not like house quarrels, screams, obscene language, drunkenness, scandals and whistling, they also do not like it when spicy seasonings, knives, spoons and forks are left in the kitchen at night. They prevent them from cleaning the house of negative energy.

Brownie and pets

No less than brownie people pay attention to pets. Many have probably noticed that some people do not have pets at home. They either run or die. It happens because of the brownie. The brownie does not allow the animal that you do not like to sleep, eat, and move around the house. Often this can be seen if the animal bristles for no reason or periodically runs from place to place.

If the brownie opposite the pets liked it, then he cherishes and cherishes him. It is most often seen in cats. Some have a clean, smooth coat, as if someone is caring for it (except for the cat itself, of course). Occasionally, you can watch a picture of a cat following something invisible with its eyes or behaving as if someone is standing nearby. She can even roll over on her back and wave her paws in the air, it tickles her brownie.

In order to accurately determine whether the brownie likes the new pet or not, you need to:

1. Select an animal in the suit of the owner. If he is brunette, get a black cat, and if he is blond, get a white one.
2. Before buying an animal, place a piece of heavily salted bread on the back of a chair or on the wooden arm of the chair. If during the night the piece disappears or falls, the brownie agrees with your choice.
3. An animal brought into the house should be led through a sheepskin coat with a sheepskin up. So the brownie quickly recognizes your new inhabitant of the home.

Sometimes it happens that a prankster brownie pulls off small things. It would seem that a minute ago it lay here before my eyes, and then suddenly disappeared. In such cases, you need to move to the corner of the room and say:

Brownie, brownie, play and give.

If not a thing was found, you can scold it:

Such an adult grandfather and play pranks. Oh no no no!.

Father, my master, my kind brownie. I will give you new mansions, bright chambers. Come with me, without you there will be no happiness.

In the morning, you need to put an awl or coal in a bag or bag, invite the brownie to move with you again in the manner described above and carefully transfer the brownie.
