Trolls, gnomes, elves, goblins exist only in fairy tales and folk legends and tales. That’s what adults think. But children often believe in their existence. The kids gather in whole gangs and try to summon these
mythical creatures. Whether the children succeed is unknown. The most common occupation among them, among such cases, is to challenge a certain fairy-tale entity, which is characterized by a love of obscene expressions. How do the
guys do
this ? In this article we will tell you how to call a dumb gnome.
Who is a dumb gnome?
Children of all ages simply adore everything mysterious and mystical. Which of us in childhood did not cause the spirits of famous persons who had gone into the world of another? It is enough to recall how we sat with bated breath over a saucer with letters, and an invisible force moved the needle and thread, thereby answering a variety of questions. The challenge of the mother dwarf is also a kind of children's entertainment ritual. Hardly anyone ever saw him. But it’s known how he looks. As a rule, this is a small man, no taller than a meter. A thick beard, a cap on his head and a silver hammer in his hands are his mandatory attributes. In some cases, he may appear, for example, in a helmet with horns and an iron chain mail, captured by a wide belt. We will talk about how to call a dumb gnome later (there are several different ways). In the meantime, we find out what distinguishes this mythical entity from other similar creatures.
Characteristic features of a fabulous creature
The appearance of the aforementioned gnome will not go unnoticed: you can find out about this by the obscene expressions characteristic of this character of children's stories. Yes, he swears. Why is he doing this? Most likely, the gnome is not too happy that he was disturbed and summoned. And he really loves sweets. Often, confectionery is used to attract it. Many children believe that a dwarf can fulfill wishes. Whether it is true or not is not known for certain. But when the creature finds itself, you can try to make your most cherished desire. What if it comes true?
How to call a dull gnome? Method number 1: hot on the heels
Want to see the traces of a mystical creature? This method is suitable for those who want to learn how to call a dumb gnome during the day. We do this: we smear the palm of any hand with toothpaste, we go into a dark closet, where daylight does not penetrate . And now we need to call our fabulous miracle. We stretch our hand forward with the palm up and say the following spell: “Dumb gnome, come!” It would be nice to close your eyes. If you feel some movement and see small circles in your palm, then the gnome has come.
Method number 2
Unconvincing? Or is there no closet? Good! Now we will tell you how you can call the dumb gnome in another way. By the way, it is perhaps the most common. This will require a long thread of any color. On it you need to tie a few knots. And the more they will be, the better. Then you need to tie the thread to the legs of the table or bed, lifting it 2-3 cm from the floor. To enhance the effect, you can tie a candy or any other good treat to it. After all, as you know, these characters just love sweets. Now we put out the light and say the magic words three times “Dwarf, come!” After some time, the creature will come and, confused in the bundles, will begin to swear. The main thing is that your "barricades" are not noticed by adults ... for example, mom. Of course, she won’t swear, but she’ll be sure to be interrogated.
Method number 3
You can call fabulous creatures not only at home, but also on the street. We learn how to call a dumb gnome, for example, in the forest. You need to do this three together. You should find three trees of different sizes in advance. Let one be large, the other medium, and the third small. It is important that these trees form a triangle. Now you need to take a satin ribbon and tie the trunks with it. The result should be a triangle. The call of the gnome should be outlined at 12 o’clock in the morning. But it is necessary to come to the place of “meeting” 10 minutes before this time. As soon as it breaks through midnight, you need to hold hands, repeat three times, “Dumb Gnome, appear!” And spit over his left shoulder. After a while, the creature will appear. Within 13 minutes, it will gnaw through the tape. After this time, until the gnome touched the callers, you need to have time to say three times: “Gnome, go away!” It is believed that calling this spirit is very dangerous. After all, if he touches a person, he may die. That's just interesting, why call him at all? .. Oh, children, children ...
Method number 4
This method also works at night. To implement the plan, you will need a few people and a piece of white paper with a pencil. On it you need to draw a portrait of one of those present, only in a gnome costume. To perform this ritual is to retire to some secluded place late in the evening or at night. A garden house, a street gazebo, and just a house terrace are suitable for this. The portrait is placed in the center on the floor and surround it from all sides. Instead of paper and pencil, you can use ordinary chalk. In this case, a portrait of the gnome is painted directly on the floor or on the pavement. When everything is prepared, they hold hands and cast a spell: “Dear gnome, come, look at yourself!” After a while he will come. A gnome will appear on the head of the person from whom the portrait was written off. But only an “artist” can see him, that is, the one who painted the fairy-tale creature. The rest will only hear him. The gnome will terribly swear: he is dissatisfied with the quality of the drawing. He will say that he was poorly portrayed as “to tear off the hands of such a woe-artist” and so on.
Eyewitness accounts
Children have been telling similar fables for many, many years ... Often, however, with the proviso that this did not happen to them, but the neighbors Vasya, Dima, Petya knew one boy ... etc.
It’s interesting, but has anyone ever seen or even heard someone a dumb gnome actually? It is clear that, as a rule, children cause it. If we turn to their comments on various forums dedicated to mysticism, we can conclude that these creatures are absolutely real and often find themselves. Moreover, many kids know firsthand how to call a dumb gnome. This is what they write about the results of such magical rituals. Nobody had to see firsthand what this entity looks like. But many heard and felt it. Someone claims that they distinguished sneezing and a hoarse voice in silence. Most often it was a slurred speech. But it was possible to recognize obscene expressions in it. It was clear that someone was very angry and was trying to convey this to others. When the guys looked around, they did not see anyone. And it was impossible to ignore these strange sounds. If only the children tried to forget and fall asleep, mysterious things began to happen in the room. Either the cabinets opened by themselves, then here and there scattered things appeared. What is it? Rich childhood imagination or reality? It’s hard to determine.
Gnomes in fairy tales
Do spirits and various mystical entities actually exist? We will never find the answer to this question for sure. They exist for those who believe in them. As already mentioned, many children know, for example, how to call a dumb gnome.
Photos of these fabulous creatures, however, have never been seen, since no one has ever photographed them. But at the same time, some guys feel someone's presence, not to mention the swearing that they say is quite distinguishable. But in legends and tales, gnomes definitely exist. Here it is worth recalling the
tales of the brothers Grimm, Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann and Wilhelm Gauf. In them, the gnomes appear before readers in the form of ugly dwarfs with a beard and a cap on their heads. They can be both positive characters (as in the fairy tale about Snow White), and negative ("The Little White and the Rosette"). Dwarves can both reward people for their kindness, and punish for indifference, anger, greed. As a rule, these fabulous creatures possess untold wealth and diligently guard it. They also know the secrets of witchcraft and, if necessary, can put these skills into practice.
Warlike creatures
In the stories of John Tolkien and Clive Lewis, the dwarves look a little different. Here they appear in the image of warlike dwarfs in iron helmets and chain mail. In their hands, as a rule, their favorite weapon is an ax.
