Brownie in Slavic mythology is the patron of the house and its owner. According to the beliefs of our ancestors, it is present in residential buildings and even in churches. People with developed clairvoyance feel the presence of brownies, sometimes even see them.
The Orthodox Church does not recognize the existence of brownies, because our pagan ancestors believed in them. Later they began to believe that the spirit replaced the god Rod or Chur, as it was also called. By the way, the phrase "Chur me!" still helps to get rid of the evil spirits that stuck on the street at night.
What does a brownie look like in a house?
You can see a brownie by chance at dawn, when he puts things in order in the living room. But smart people never try to look at the owner of the house. It is believed that this is not good and can even lead to serious illnesses. House magicians and people with psychic abilities see it. Others just feel their invisible presence.
It is believed that the longer the brownie lives with the tenants of the premises, the more he becomes like them. Usually he is depicted as an old man of small stature with a shaggy beard and in old clothes. The growth of a brownie, people who have seen it, say, can reach a meter. And sometimes the owner of the house is so small that it can easily be confused with a small child.
In the houses of the rich and the brownie looks good: well-fed, with a beautiful beard, in good clothes. In poor families, he is slender, with patched clothes and a rare beard.
Those who saw the brownie with their own eyes sometimes describe it as a fluffy ball. Perhaps he just appears to the residents in this guise. Indeed, according to popular beliefs, a brownie is able to turn into a cat, a dog and even a rat. Therefore, if a kitten suddenly appears at your doorstep, be sure to take it home. In this way, the brownie can check how well you treat cats, his old friends.
The age of the brownie, say magicians, is up to 600 years. And since they are born by the elderly, the older they are, the younger they look. They die as babies. Yes, yes, and they die. One healer claimed to have attended a brownie’s funeral once.
The character of the house keepers is difficult, but not evil. If the brownie is mischievous, he is just bored, and he needs to be appeased, to establish a relationship with him.
It is not recommended to carry out rituals in order to see the brownie. First, it can seriously anger a magical entity. He will begin to harass the household. For example, it will scare, scratch your face or even throw you off the stairs. Secondly, the spirits are not very pleasant in appearance, which can greatly impress a novice magician.
He can voluntarily appear to the tenant only if he wants to warn him of a serious danger. Psychics say that if a brownie nevertheless dreamed of one of the household members, he should in no case be looked into the eyes, otherwise a person could be seriously ill.
How do brownies appear?
Scientists are sure that the brownie is the embodiment of the energy of residents. People who have been living in a house for decades leave their energy mark in it. But esotericists believe that a brownie is a mental entity that is not connected by energy threads with residents, but patronizes them.
Brownie often holds the neutral side - he does not belong to either good or evil forces. However, each of them has its own character. Most often, brownies are friendly to people living with them. However, there are evil entities that constantly disturb and frighten residents.
Types of Brownies
Mages claim that there are 3 types of sousushki (as the ancient Slavs called them).
The first type is the "classic" housekeepers, kind little old men with a beard who came from a parallel world when people began to build their homes. They protect the house from evil forces, help in household chores, treat pets of residents. They mutually beneficial coexist with people, as they feed on the energy of the house. If there are no quarrels and scandals at home, the room is regularly cleaned of negative energy, the aura here is favorable, and the brownie eats it. But if there are frequent scandals in the family, the brownie begins to disturb the residents, letting them know that he is unhappy. Some believe that they also have their own family.
The second type is the deceased, who were sent to work out karma. Such people during life were too busy with themselves, paid little attention to family and home. These are entities who love order, but never engage in household chores. They should not be afraid, they are peaceful. Their goal is to monitor the house and family living in it, to help and protect from evil spirits. Higher powers give them energy, sending souls to work on sins.
And finally, the third type of brownies cannot be called good. These are not even brownies, but evil entities that settle in empty houses. They feed on the energy of quarrels and scandals, so they provoke them. In such homes, residents may suffer from a lack of health and money. These evil entities must be driven out of the house.
Brownie abilities
Patronizes the brownies, according to the beliefs of our ancestors, the Slavic god Veles, who endowed them with some magical abilities.
The nurse knows how to predict the future. More often than not, he warns of trouble, but sometimes his appearance also portends good news. Sometimes a brownie rests with his whole body on a sleeping person, and then you need to ask: "For worse or for good?" He will most likely answer your question. If there is no answer, then this is not a warning - the brownie is simply not happy with you.
Sometimes they knock on furniture. If you heard a knock in an empty apartment, you can also ask this question.
It happens that the house does not like the guests who come to the residents. He can suddenly drop and break a mug, make him feel uncomfortable. If the guest stays for the night, the brownie will begin to scare him in every way: strangle, whisper in his ear, make noise.
Residents should also look at the person. How much can you trust him? Perhaps the brownie feels that the guest is not good, and tries by all means to survive him from the house. After all, his main task is to protect the home from evil.
The brownie can send prophetic dreams or wake the sleeping one during nightmares.
Sometimes on the forums there are stories about how brownies treat people, relieve symptoms of heart ailments. Usually they help the family if they are very attached to it. The strongest connection with the grandfather is for those families who live in the house for more than one generation.
How to find out if there is a brownie in the house?
We all subconsciously to some extent feel the presence of an otherworldly keeper in the house. The first type of brownies manifests itself in various extraneous rustlings. The time of their activity is night.
Signs of brownie in the house are quite eloquent. Residents often hear the clatter of feet, reminiscent of the steps of a small child or animal. In the kitchen, the sound of utensils may be heard. Cats often play with brownies. From the outside it looks like an animal is playing with someone invisible. If a cat stares into empty space, but does not show aggression, these are also manifestations of a good spirit.
Small things may disappear. Most often, a brownie just has fun, and then throws things back, but sometimes this is a sign that you should be more careful and collected - the brownie does not like your carelessness and tendency to throw things around. After all, he keeps order in the house. If things are not found, try to contact him.
These perfumes are sweet tooths, so sweets can periodically disappear from the vase. If a child is missing toys, this is probably a manifestation of a brownie. By the way, there is a belief that young children are able to see brownies and even play with them.
A grandfather, who treats the residents of the house well, often helps them. The house remains clean and pleasant atmosphere, harmony reigns in the family. At night it’s not scary to sleep without light.
The second type of brownies manifests itself somewhat differently. Residents out of the corner of their eyes can notice a dark shadow growing from a short person. However, fear is not felt. He takes care of the household, whispers the right decisions to them and even reassures him during scandals. Sometimes the first homeowner becomes the real brownie in the house, who built it and invested a lot of energy in it.
The brownie cleans the minor energy negativity that we bring into the house from the street. But he is unable to eliminate the great corruption. If one has settled in your home, the brownie is unhappy and is trying to inform you of this. His dissatisfaction can be manifested by night sighs, slamming doors, missing things and other petty dirty tricks. In rare cases, animals do not take root in the house. But most often, the owner of the house treats pets well.
Brownie or evil spirit?
However, serious concern should be given if households feel the presence of an evil entity. It spoils the atmosphere of the house, somewhere the warmth and comfort of the rooms disappear. Residents constantly quarrel with each other, because the essence is fed by their negative emotions. At night it is difficult to fall asleep without light, the darkness scares, and sometimes leads to panic horror.
Extraneous noise, groans, squeaks, steps, breaking equipment, breaking dishes, falling objects, often sharp, can be heard. Animals at home do not take root, which is especially true for cats. This suggests that the energy of the house is so damaged that it transformed into a poltergeist.
What if the brownie in the house settled evil? There are ways to get rid of this essence, however, tenants themselves can not cope - they simply do not have enough strength. It is recommended that you call a priest who will drive away evil spells with prayers.
Many people are interested in the question of whether there are brownies in apartment buildings. A brownie lives in every dwelling of people, regardless of whether it is a house or an apartment. However, there are unclean high-rise buildings with unfavorable energy, in the apartments of which good entities do not live. The poor energy of such houses usually has a long history and is associated with tragedies. Therefore, when buying an apartment, it is extremely important to know about its previous owners.
When entering a potential home, listen to it. Feel it. Surely intuition will tell you how favorable this house is, how its true owner will react to you. Alas, brownies do not always accept new residents and sometimes they survive in every possible way.
How to learn about the presence of a brownie, what to say?
In almost all houses where early people lived, there are spirits. The exception is only new buildings. Therefore, before moving the brownie you need to call with you. How to do this, read the following paragraphs.
If you didn’t call the spirit from your previous home, it will take years for the brownie to appear in the new apartment. But he will certainly appear over time.
But how do you know if there is a brownie in the house?
In the evening, empty the kitchen table, it should only have a tablecloth. Put a full glass of semisweet wine on it, and on a saucer next to it, put a slice of fresh loaf spread with butter. To see traces of small legs, you can sprinkle white flour around, but this is not necessary.
Say these words: "Father Brownie, come, eat your dinner."
No one should go into the kitchen until morning: neither households, nor animals. Get up before sunrise and first enter the kitchen. Most likely, the wine will be a little missed, and a piece of bread will be bitten.
And this method is suitable for those who doubt the existence of a brownie and are not afraid of his discontent. Before going to bed, take a piece of paper, write on it "I am the master of the house."
Put a glass of water on a note in the center of the table, after removing foreign objects from there. On the table should be only a glass on a sheet with a note. The brownie will certainly prove to be the ringing of dishes, stomping and other extraneous sounds. Some powerful spirits even pinch or strangle residents.
The thing is that you cannot pronounce the phrase “I am the master of the house”, as well as write this, because the true master here is the brownie, and people are only his tenants. Therefore, such a provocation will cause a violent reaction from the side of the grave.
The stronger the essence, the brighter and more aggressive it will manifest itself. Physical contact is only possible with a very strong spirit. And if your brownie is strong, it means that the house is under reliable protection, because he will get rid of any evil spirits that will stare at the dwelling.
To make peace with an angry brownie, say: "Chur with me, and you, brownie, stay. We will make peace and be friends. You will help me, and I will feed you."
So you can find out if there is a brownie in the house. But magicians do not recommend trying to anger a brownie or to see it with his own eyes. An angry host can even lead to madness.
