Ancient beliefs even influence people who consider themselves atheists. Indeed, having lost a thing in the middle of the apartment, many mechanically turn to the devil with a request to give it back, or inform their family that they have covered the loss with the tail of the brownie. How to appease this mysterious creature, not many people think, but when housewarming, the majority of the inhabitants of our country let a cat first. They act so simply because it is accepted, otherwise there will be no luck.
Where did the tradition come from? From ancient times it was believed that a cat, a mystical creature, with its mysterious energy cleans the home of devilry, prepares a place for the owner. And this evil, our ancestors were sure, is the real owner of the house, the keeper of the home. Fairy tales were told about Babayka, they sang songs.
Beliefs say that Brownie (Master, Drum, Poltergeist, Noisy Spirit) lives in every house, apartment, castle.
The welfare of residents, their peace of mind depends on the owner. That is why it is very important to appease the brownie. There are entire ceremonies dedicated to the ram. Today, these rituals are becoming fashionable again, perhaps because many are tired of the swiftness and reality of the world around them.
The first of April is not only the day of Fools or Laughter. On this day, a brownie celebrates his birthday. How to appease him on this holiday? Of course, present a gift. It can be a saucer with milk, a piece of bread with salt, even a glass of vodka. The treat should be set out in an inaccessible place. If the next day the food disappears - Lamb is pleased with the gift. If it remains, the Boss left it for the birds, which should be given the remaining treats. If the gift to Barabashka is not acceptable, then the gifts will be scattered in the morning.
On February 7, Barabashka celebrates its name day. It was believed that a good homeowner would always find something to appease the brownie on that day. You can bring your own cooked sweets to the lamb: pie, sweet bun. It is good to pronounce a conspiracy, urging the Spirit to sit side by side, relax, and then continue to keep peace and order in the house.
Not only people like to live well, but also a brownie. How to appease him when there are no holidays? Build a sleeping place. It is very interesting to do with children.
You need to find a beautiful little box. It can be a shoe box, a tin from under candies or a beautiful bombardier. There should be put “bedding”: a sheet from a piece of elegant fabric, a do-it-yourself blanket sewn, a pillow.
Such a sleeping place is equipped in a secluded corner so that no one bothers the Master when he is resting.
But only gifts to the Master are few. He requires constant attention, then he and Brownie. How to appease him on weekdays? In principle, as well as in the rest.
Old people are sure that the Spirit does not tolerate dirt, disorder in the house. In an untidy apartment, he begins to rage, to make noise at night. Then it can completely cease to play the role of the Master, leave the house. Troubles await the residents of the abandoned house: money in the family does not stop, husbands start drinking, and wives start walking.
Therefore, the home must be kept clean and tidy. The good mistress of the Brownie at night helps to clean the apartment, keeps the house from trouble.
It is very important not to forget the Boss when moving. Otherwise, Domovoi will be very offended. How to appease him after a serious offense, no one knows.
Therefore, when changing housing, you need to take a shovel, a large bag, a warm mitten (different beliefs in different places), put in front of the threshold and loudly invite Lamb to new housing. After some time, raise the improvised "sleigh" and move it with honor to a new place of residence. And already there, put him a treat, make a new berth.
Of course, most likely, Brownie is a myth that came to us from a very long time. But does a drop of a fairy tale interfere in our fussy life? What if the Lamb exists?
