What to say to the brownie when milk is poured. How to appease, feed and make friends with brownies? Animals - a cat, a dog and a brownie in the house: how are they related? If you have just bought a house

Since ancient times, people believe in brownies, witches, poltergeists and other otherworldly ... personalities, good and evil spirits. This belief does not die in our technological age. To be convinced of this, it is enough to come to any housewarming party. Who is the first to enter a new apartment or a new house? That's right, cat. And why? No one knows. It's just the way it is. So did parents, grandfathers, great-grandfathers ...

Brownie, brownie, brownie,
Would you sit next to me ... "

The word “brownie” itself appeared in Rus' somewhere in the 17th-18th centuries, but the concept of a spirit living in a house and in a yard appeared much earlier (XIV-XV). In its manifestations, this spirit was very similar to the brownie and was often called the "horizon demon", perhaps this name is associated with the noisy fuss that the brownie is sometimes capable of.

Knowledgeable people say that the brownie lives in every house. It doesn't matter what kind of house it is. A city apartment, a solid rural house or a count's castle, everywhere there is a guardian. His main duty is to keep order in the house. And if the order in the house is not observed, it can bring trouble. First, forks and spoons will fly, then ...
In general, "guys, let's live together" with the brownie.

How to appease a brownie.
1. The cat should enter the new house first. It is she who, with her energy, will cleanse the room of negative energy, and if this is not done, the brownie will simply have nowhere to live!
2. Clean the house regularly. Dust and mess do not like the brownie. And you don’t have to offend cats, in which, by the way, the brownie often reincarnates.
3. Never swear in the house, solve all matters in peace. Negative energy scares the brownie and opens the door to all evil spirits.
4. Few people know that before the advent of Christianity, every peasant family celebrated the birthday of a brownie. This holiday was held ... on April 1st. It was believed that on this day the brownie wakes up from hibernation. According to popular beliefs, there are days, one way or another connected with brownies. So, according to some sources, February 7 is “name day of the brownie”.

Once a year (preferably on February 7th or April 1st) you should feed the brownie. Pour vodka into a glass and put a piece of sweet cake or pie next to it, and say to them: “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". Cross yourself, bow down. Leave a glass and a sweet treat in the corner. If the brownie loves you, the glass will quickly empty. And the brownie himself, in gratitude for the attention, will keep peace and tranquility in the family, save the house from troubles and ruin.

If you have small children, it will be fun to equip a “sleeping” place for the keeper of the family hearth with them. To do this, lay a bright cloth in a small box or basket, a pillow and a blanket sewn with your own hands. Put the "crib" in a quiet secluded place and invite the brownie. I don’t know about the brownie, but the children will definitely appreciate your game in a fairy tale.

If you are moving from one place to another, be sure to take the brownie with you. To do this, stand in the middle of the apartment, open the bag and invite him to go with you.

If you are afraid of a brownie, turn communication with him into a fun game, and life in your house will definitely change for the better.

When changing homes, the owners always call the brownie with them with bread and salt. The invitation is most often made in such expressions: “come, master, live with us,” or: “my brownie, come with me.” Also, when moving to a new house, the brownie can be transported with you on a broom. And in the old days they were transported on a bread shovel. At the same time, one should say: “Here are those sleighs, go with us.”

If small things disappear in the house for no reason, and then they are in the most unexpected places, this should simply be taken into account. Not finding a thing in its usual place, just say out loud (you can whisper) “Brownie, brownie, played and give it back” or “Jester, jester, joked - give it back!”. Strange, but things are usually found. Just stay calm, don't fuss.

These are just some of the beliefs associated with brownies. You see, they are very simple. So, shall we follow them?

It definitely won't get worse!

In ancient times, people believed that the world around us was inhabited by various magical creatures that must be respected and should not be offended. The most popular was considered a brownie - a good spirit invisible to the human eye, responsible for the well-being, comfort and prosperity in the house. Faith in its power has not faded even over the centuries. It happens that despite all the attempts of the owners not to offend the spirit, he begins to get angry, so it will be useful to know how to appease the brownie.

Responsibilities of a brownie

People do not stop arguing who the brownie is. There are several versions. According to the first, these magical creatures were once spirits that lived inside trees, from which houses were then built. Having got to the people, they did not want to return to the forest anymore and remained to live with the man. According to the second version, brownies are the souls of ancestors who, after death, were returned to earth to protect and protect their relatives.

Ancient people believed that no dwelling could do without this creature. A harmful spirit, capable not only of good deeds, but also of petty dirty tricks, began to be called brownie in the days of ancient Rus'. Often the spirits were called demons-harmonizers. This name comes from the habit of the brownie, when he is dissatisfied with something, to make various noises in the house. No one knows what this magical creature looks like. In folk tales, the brownie is depicted as a shaggy old man dressed in patched clothes.

These magical creatures avoid showing themselves to humans, but this does not prevent them from reliably protecting human housing. The keeper of the hearth patronizes all family members. He worries about the health and happiness of people, makes sure that no one offends them.

Thanks to the protection of the brownie, dark forces do not penetrate the apartment. Spirit interacts with people and pets. It is generally accepted that custodians protect housing from fires and intruders, are responsible for order, look for lost things, and support a person in difficult moments of life.

When the keeper of the hearth is friends with his family, positive energy reigns in the home, so it is important not to quarrel with him. If the house spirit gets angry, he will begin to express his displeasure, arranging dirty tricks and evil jokes. Rituals will help correct the situation, suggesting how to appease the brownie in a private house.

Signs of a brownie in an apartment

These magical creatures are hidden from human eyes: they cannot be seen or heard. The brownie will only show himself if he is angry and dissatisfied. To understand that you have fallen out of favor with the house spirit, the following factors will help:

• your personal belongings began to disappear;
• lost items can be found, but not at all where you put them;
• regularly after cleaning, bread crumbs appear on the kitchen floor;
• furniture began to break, water taps stopped working, disorder reigns in the cabinets;
• at night, strange sounds are heard (rustle, tramp of small legs, creaking);
• you feel someone's invisible presence and feel inner unrest.

If something like this happens in your home, take action immediately. It's easy to fix the situation.

1. Remember that household spirits do not tolerate scandals. Loud family fights will cause the brownie to get angry. Try to show attention and care to your family, do not use swear words and do not shout during communication. Speak calmly, confidently and politely. Negative emotions should be driven away. It's important to stay positive.
2. Take an active life position, brownies do not tolerate lazy people. Spirits love to keep their home clean and comfortable, so do not forget to arrange a general cleaning with sorting out old things and getting rid of unnecessary rubbish. Make sure that dirty dishes and unironed linen do not accumulate in the kitchen.
3. Brownies do not tolerate people leading an immoral lifestyle, prone to bad habits (smoking and alcoholism).

Try to keep order, communicate with relatives without scandals, start leading a healthy lifestyle and then the brownie in your apartment will be joyful and kind.

Ways to coax a brownie

Popular beliefs will help restore the location of a magical creature. Do not expect the result to come immediately, be patient, your family members must realize that they were wrong and acted badly. To appease the keepers of the hearth, our ancestors tried to follow the following rules.

1. Each brownie has his favorite place in the home. It can be a kitchen stove, a warm radiator, a cozy wardrobe. In these corners, the brownie arranges housing for himself. Common areas (bath and toilet) are not suitable for him. Try to respect the spirit and do not swear at his pranks.
2. Magical home helpers need communication. In ancient times, people believed that brownies could read human thoughts, so they tried to turn to them for advice and help. Get into the habit of daily communication with good spirits, tell them about your problems, the brightest impressions and experienced emotions. Returning home after a long day at work, start saying hello to the brownie, and getting ready for work, say goodbye and promise to return as soon as possible.
3. When thinking about how to appease a brownie in an apartment, do not forget about the main rule. The Spirit loves to be honored. The owner of the hearth likes when he is affectionately called: “Grandfather-all-knowing”, “Dear friend”, “Father-owner”.
4. Spirits protect housing from dark forces, and you can support them in this. Make your own amulet that will protect your home. Most suitable for these purposes are such magical attributes as a horseshoe, gold coins and bells.

Our ancestors believed that the brownie, like any person, has his own birthday. Name days of spirits are usually celebrated in the second month of winter. On the night of February 10, a holiday was held at which the guardian was honored. On the day of the name day, all kinds of treats were prepared for the home spirit.

Popular rituals

Using the following magical rituals, you can return the favor of the brownie, easily make it so that he stops being angry with you. Folk conspiracies can be used with equal efficiency both in a private and in an apartment building.

Treat for the brownie

Delicious food will help appease the spirit. The owner of the hearth is a sweet tooth. Offer him a choice of honey, chocolate candy, cake, cookies. You can treat the spirit with rich porridge or homemade borscht, just keep in mind that he does not like meat dishes. Brownies' favorite drink is milk, therefore, leaving a treat for him, do not forget about a glass of this product.

Collect food on a small saucer and leave it overnight in a hard-to-reach place (behind a radiator, stove, in a kitchen cabinet, behind a trash can, near an air vent). Make sure that your pets do not encroach on food. Be sure to say out loud that the treat was prepared specifically for the good spirit:

“Grandfather neighbor! My brownie, Khvedenka! I brought you delicious dishes, sweet dishes! Share my food with me!"

In the morning you can ask the brownie for whatever you want. The rite will work great if you want to find any things. Address the spirit with these words:

"Brownie, brownie, play and give it back!".

You can try another conspiracy:

“Father brownie, give me a hint where to find me mine (name of thing)!”.

Sometimes the brownie just wants to play and therefore hides objects where a person can never find them. When the owner indulges, you can use magic words that will shame him:

“Grandfather is already old, an adult, but everything is playing around! Oh no no no!".

In the morning, do not forget to remove the leftover food. Remember that it is forbidden to throw it away, it is better to feed it to the birds or bury it in the ground. It is recommended to make such offerings when the brownie began to get angry at least once a week.

With the help of regular edible offerings, you can ask the brownie to be more attentive to protecting the home. At the beginning of each month, a magical text was read over the prepared treat:

“Father brownie, accept a treat, I offer it with respect! The owner-priest, sir-domovoy, perhaps love me, guard my goodness, take care of my cattle, accept my treat and drink water from a full cup.

Gifts to the brownie

Pleasant offerings will help appease the brownie living in the apartment. Magical creatures love various shiny objects, so bright things disappear in the house. In order to convince the spirit not to do this, in ancient times people made a chest with gifts for the brownie. This is done simply. Find a small box and cover it with colored paper or cloth. Put your gifts there. It can be beads, rings, coins, buttons.

Then hide the chest with jewelry in a place where, as you think, the brownie will definitely find it. Do not forget to address the household spirit, saying that these gifts are intended for him. Now the magical creature will not be bored, and he will stop carrying your things. To enhance the rite, you can read the plot:

“Take care of our house and us in it! Multiply good, and reflect evil!

A conspiracy from a harmful brownie

If you failed to appease the owner of the hearth, and he continues to play pranks, the following rite will help to cope with him. Wait until the moon in the sky begins to decrease. Go to the temple in advance (this should be done on Monday or Friday) and buy a candle. It is important that you do not make any other purchases on this day.

Late in the evening, when everyone has gone to bed, start the ritual. Walk slowly through all the rooms in the house with a lit candle in your hand. Light up all the nooks and crannies and read the text:

“Domovoi-prankster, go away to your brothers from my house, don’t eat my bread anymore, don’t get in the way!”.

Wax from a candle should be carefully collected and buried in the nearest wasteland. The ritual will work within a few days, and the owner of the hearth will stop pestering you with his cunning pranks.

Ritual for the protection and well-being of the house

In the event of your departure, you can ask the brownie coaxed by gifts to look after housing. So that during the absence of the owners, a good spirit monitors the order and safety of the house, avoiding any incidents, having prepared a treat, repeat the magic text several times:

“The owner of the brownie, take my cattle. Feed and water, watch and drive home from the field. Be my words strong! Amen! Amen! Amen!".

The ancient ritual has undergone changes in its interpretation in our days. Now the magic words contain a request to take care not only of pets, but also of housing.

Brownie and moving

If you have purchased a new apartment and are going to move there to live, do not forget to invite the house spirit with you, these magical creatures are not found in a newly built housing. The ritual to help pick up the brownie when moving is easy to perform.

Please note that the first visitor to your new home should be a cat. It is desirable that this be your pet. The animal should be allowed into the apartment before the furniture from the old housing is brought in. Bring along a bottle of alcoholic beverage, fresh bread and common table salt. First, run the cat into the room. Then put the brought food on a clean towel and say, invoking the brownie:

“Owner-father, accept a treat for our housewarming party!”.

Prepare a canvas bag. Put a treat and a gold coin there, leave these things in the kitchen. In the morning, carefully tie it with a multi-colored ribbon and go to your new home. Put the burden behind the oven and release the brownie, assuring him in words that he will be cozy, comfortable and safe here.

When moving to rented accommodation, keep in mind that the keeper of the hearth may already live there, so you should make contact with him. After moving, exit to the kitchen. Arrange delicious offerings on a plate, be sure to pour a glass of fresh milk. Place the gifts in the center of the kitchen and say the magic words three times to help appease someone else's brownie:

From our ancestors, we got legends about mystical creatures living in human dwellings - brownies. Even for those who are skeptical about "grandmother's tales", it will be interesting to know how to appease the brownie, and for those who believe it is also useful.

Who is a brownie

Since ancient times, the Slavs believed that a spirit lives in any human dwelling, looking after the house, the people living in it, the garden and domestic animals. There is no single version of the origin of brownies. Some legends call them the spirits of revered ancestors, others call them energy entities, the offspring of the owners of the house, others call them the souls of the trees from which the hut was built. But in all versions, this spirit is considered economic, hardworking, attracting prosperity, but at the same time capricious, mischievous and vengeful.

Signs that he is in a house or apartment

The creaking of the floor or steps can also give out the presence of a brownie in your house or apartment.

It’s easy to understand that a brownie lives in an apartment. You just need to pay attention to the following signs:

• There is a feeling that there is someone intangible at home. Out of nowhere, a grunt or an old man's cough is heard, the floor creaks, as if from someone's steps. Interior doors open and close without human intervention. Often, especially in the evenings, residents feel someone's gaze on the backs of their heads, but turning around, they see no one.
• Pets (especially cats) sit still, staring at one point and showing signs of excitement or irritation. Sometimes they play with someone invisible or chase and beat him.
• A knock on the walls and ceiling is clearly heard, especially in the bedroom. Moving objects - they are not in their places. The loss of small, but necessary things that can be found in the same places where they disappeared from.
• Electric light bulbs suddenly begin to flash and crackle, often burn out.

Often, to these signs, they add the feeling that in a dream someone sits on their chest and suffocates, which is why you wake up in a cold sweat and fear. This feeling is called "sleep paralysis" and does not indicate the pranks of the brownie, but about problems with the heart.

Why tease him

It often happens that he is unfavorable to the inhabitants of the dwelling. In such cases, it must be appeased. There are several reasons for this:

• To protect the house. Brownie is a guardian spirit by nature. In the house that he took under his protection, no big trouble will ever happen, quarrels will bypass its inhabitants, and prosperity will increase.
• So that things don't get lost. The brownie hides mostly small things, but can also hide important things, such as a passport and car keys. If this happens regularly - you need to appease him.
• For the successful sale of the apartment. Brownies are tied to their home and family members. Therefore, they may interfere with the sale of the apartment.
• For the health of pets. Despite the fact that he favors pets, he can harass animals that are not to his liking. Such an animal becomes nervous, lethargic, quickly loses weight.

When is the best time to appease a brownie?

Before the ritual, put things in order in all rooms, get rid of garbage

It is not tied to calendar, daily or lunar cycles, so you can coax it at any time. But before the rituals, it is necessary to carry out preparatory work:

• Make a general cleaning - brownies do not tolerate dirt and dust. In addition, a cluttered apartment accumulates negative energy.
• A week before the ritual, you must refrain from quarrels and scandals.
• Remove sharp objects from open surfaces - knives, forks, screwdrivers. Popular belief says that they can hurt the brownie.

However, there are two exceptions:

• Brownie name day. The Russian people celebrated them on April 1 or February 7, according to the old style. It was believed that on this date he wakes up from his winter sleep and begins his direct duties as a good household genius. On this day, all attempts to appease this household spirit will be met more favorably than usual.
• Third night after full moon. Esotericists consider this time to be the most suitable for contacts with mystical entities.

And, of course, rituals must be carried out as soon as the brownie makes itself felt - hides things, scares with sounds, stares intently at the back of the head.

Popular rituals

It is best to coax a brownie with homemade cookies and fresh milk.

There are several rituals for building a relationship with this creature, and the choice depends only on your goal. There are no differences in how to appease a brownie in a private house or apartment.

Lost Search

If a thing is missing in the apartment, you need to do the following:

• Clean up the room where they were last seen missing to appease the brownie.
• Place a chair in the middle of the room. Tie a clean red rag to the leg.
• Say the words and leave the room.

The following words must be spoken:

Brownie, brownie, play and give.

Another variant:

Father, brownie, give me a hint where to find mine (name of thing)!

If these phrases do not help you, say the following:

Grandfather is already old, grown up, but everything is playing around! Oh no no no!

After 10-15 minutes, the person who performed the ritual will want to go and look for the loss in some unexpected place, and there it will be.

Your own corner

You can appease him if you set aside a special corner for him in the apartment. It is furnished at the discretion of the owner. There you can put a small bed with a pillow and a patchwork quilt, a home-made table with small bowls, lay a rug knitted with your own hands (the brownie loves needlework).

treat

This will help the food left for him at night, in simple dishes, preferably clay or wooden, made by hand. Food should also be simple, but tasty. A slice of homemade pie is great.

If a corner in the apartment is already equipped for the brownie, food is placed there. If not, you can leave a plate of treats on the table. After you need to say these words:

Grandpa Neighbor!

My brownie Khvedenka!

I brought you delicious food

sweet dishes,

Share my food with me.

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 prosperity.

And do not be upset that in the morning the food will be untouched, because this is an intangible entity, it eats at the energy level. It is important to give a brownie a gift from the heart

This ritual is best used when the brownie is mischievous. A gift is made for him with his own hands - it can be a rag doll or a handful of buttons in a basket. Our rural ancestors put offerings in the underground or behind the stove, in a city apartment you can put them in any secluded corner. Brownies love everything bright and shiny. The most important thing is that a gift cannot be taken away, let alone thrown away, even if several years have passed.

If you decide to give a gift, you can ask the brownie for protection:

Take care of our home and us in it! Multiply good, and reflect evil!

On the first day of the month and for the establishment of a pet

Our ancestors once a month urged the brownie to be more attentive to their duties as the guardian of the hearth. For this, on the first day of each month, it is recommended to serve a treat (and in a private house they put a bowl of water under the threshold) and say at the same time:

Father brownie, accept the treat, I offer it with respect!

The host-father, sir-domovoy, perhaps love me, guard my goodness, take care of my cattle, accept my treat and drink water from a full cup.

Before getting a pet, place a piece of salted bread on the back of a chair. In doing so, you must say:

I give you, brownie-father, a furry beast for a rich yard.

If the next morning you do not find him or he is on the floor, then the brownie has approved your new pet.

Coaxing a brownie can become a sweet family ritual, and positive results won't be long in coming. If you treat him warmly and in a friendly way, then your home will be protected, and relationships with family members will be strong.

Then leave milk and bread by the stove, and in the morning, as a sign of respect, drink milk yourself and eat bread.

Which no one heard except me My friend lived far away and the last bus left, she called and asked to spend the night. Early in the morning, as a decent hostess, I went to the guest’s kitchen to bake pancakes for breakfast. I see Lena's head turned to the side, her eyes are open, yeah - that means she's not sleeping. And she was lying somehow in the center of the bed, and in order for me to lie down, she had to move. I lay down, and she did not move on her. Len, what are you doing? Listen, your cat is so mischievous, at first he grabbed my legs, then he climbed onto my chest and his hair climbs into my mouth, I turned my head to the side. I can't move my arm or leg. You came in just then he jumped off Len yes I don't have any cats For a minute she looked at me dumbfounded, then she says. So it’s your brownie He didn’t like that I sleep on your bed, and even in your nightgown, so he decided to drive me away

How exactly your home will be depends on you.
Brownie is a thinking creature. Moreover, he easily reads your thoughts.
What does the brownie do?
He keeps the house clean. 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.
Domovoi do not enter the bathroom at all. And in the countryside, completely different creatures live in the baths - banniki. Due to constant communication with the blackness, banniks become evil and dangerous. You spend a little longer in the bath than you need to, and instead of pleasant freshness, you feel empty and powerless.
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.

To do this, you just need to ask him about it: "Owner-priest, help, tell me where this and that lies ..." He also watches over small children and prevents various troubles. The brownie will never allow a fire, an accident, theft, provided, of course, that he likes the owner.
The brownie can wake up the owner in the morning if he has important business. Can remind you of forgotten things. It can also clean small energy debris from the apartment.
He can’t cope with serious damage, but he can disperse a trifle.
The brownie feels the approach of damage in advance. If, for example, an unkind person with black thoughts came to visit you, bringing with him a pile of blackness, envy, then the brownie begins to worry. 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 leave your house faster.
Even brownies are irritated by tobacco smoke. This smoke does not disappear anywhere, it settles on the furniture, in the corners of the apartment.
It is also worth remembering: if you clean your apartment energetically very often and very seriously, then it is possible that by your actions you will drive your brownie out of the house.
In general, if you get a strong brownie, then he can destroy the owner of the apartment or his property. And on the contrary, he will always remind a good owner before leaving the house: turn off the light, gas, water, iron, etc.
Usually the brownie sleeps somewhere under the ceiling. Yes, he can fly, and the force of gravity does not act on him. 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.
Domovoy should not be ashamed. Although he is called a man's name, he looks at women indifferently. The brownie has no gender. So you can safely change clothes in your apartment wherever you want.
Sometimes a brownie can appear to people. This happens in two cases - either before a good event, or before a bad one. And then you can ask him: "For worse or for better?" The brownie will answer in a dull voice: "For worse!" or "To good!"
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. Outwardly, the brownie looks like a furry little man (about 1 m tall) with a face that looks like the head of the family, but can also appear in other guises.
The brownie plays with children with pleasure, like with a cat or a dog. 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.
Many can tell about this resident of their apartments. Do not be afraid if you suspect that you have it too. So, what does it take to make the brownie feel good, help and not be naughty?
First you need to know that you can talk aloud with the brownie. If your family perceives this normally, then it is possible in the presence of family members. Ask him to help with something, promise something tasty or toys.
If the brownie gets spoiled, then he should be scolded: “Such an adult grandfather and you play pranks. Oh no no no!". He will be ashamed and he will try to make amends.
Sometimes he should be given cereal, milk, sweets, cookies - every first day of the month. It is better to put goodies under the battery in a saucer. 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 that this is for you, grandfather housewife. Then happiness in the house will increase, and peace between households.
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.
It is necessary to determine for him a place where he would sleep, hide.
Usually the brownie finds and equips such a place for himself, but sometimes he directly shows what he likes here - be indulgent.
Never leave piercing and cutting objects on the table overnight: forks, knives, scissors; salt, pepper, garlic, onion - all this makes it very difficult for the brownie to fight against evil forces.
Although he 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.
If you are unable to negotiate with the brownie, take a broom and, saying: “I sweep you out, a stranger, a harmful brownie, I drive 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 it, indicated here. 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 a brownie.
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 the 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 the brownie 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 money for boots and seeds. I give it from my heart, I give it to you!"
You can address the brownie like this: “Grandfather”, “Grandfather-housekeeper”, “Owner-father”, “House-father”, “Sir-brownie”.
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.
When moving to a new house or apartment, do not forget to take your brownie with you.
Leaving the old apartment, say on the threshold: “My master, come with me,” or at night the master should invite him, putting 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. They carry the brownie 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. The brownie will not go with you without an invitation. And stay alone and abandoned. And with your brownie, well-being in a new place is guaranteed to you.
He can appear in real life in the form of a cat, therefore, when moving to a new place of residence, this animal is the first to be let in, saying: “Here you are, owner, a shaggy beast for rich housing.” If there is a stove in the house, she should bow 9 times, then bring the cat to the stove with the words: “Here you are, the owner, a shaggy beast for rich housing.”
Sometimes a brownie can choke at night, but you don’t need to be afraid, but try to ask: “For worse or for better?” The answer will follow immediately, as it warns of any changes in life.
Sometimes he will dislike the people living in this house. 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.
Do not forget to greet and say goodbye to the brownie, calling him respectfully "Master". Sometimes a brownie can reveal his name to you - this is a very positive sign.
Sometimes spoons, knives, watches, etc. disappear in the house. If you cannot find the missing thing, then stand in the corner of the room and turn to the brownie: “Brownie, brownie, play and give it back.” Look in each room separately.
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!"
For family holidays, do not forget to put a glass of wine on the brownie (do not offer vodka) and something tasty.
At the same time, say: "The owner-father, sir brownie, love me and perhaps accept my treat." Everyone clinks glasses with a glass of brownie.
If your family began to be haunted by troubles, troubles in life, 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-house-mate, 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.
You can’t whistle in the house, since the brownie can’t stand the whistle, he can leave the house, sometimes right away.
The absence of a 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.
How to attract a brownie if he was not in the house?
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 the brownie with you), you can attract the brownie 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 a brownie live with you - 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 at 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 begin to bet, you need to say: "Eat, eat, grandfather, as much as you want, and live with me." if you speak sincerely, then the brownie will certainly appear and drive out all kinds of evil spirits and remain with you.
Meditation
In meditation, you can call the spirit of your home - the brownie and get to know him. Ask his name, and also ask if he needs something. Perhaps he will ask you to fix something in the house, or change something. In turn, you can ask for any help. Thank him for the help he gives you and your home.
In my archives, I found another way to communicate with the brownie:
Exactly at midnight from Sunday to Monday, either a crust of black bread with a piece of meat, or boiled potatoes, or a cucumber is placed on the edge of the kitchen table. Then the slander is read three times: “Owner, dear, invisible to the eyes! And the next morning, be sure to rush to the kitchen before all the other household members and personally eat this treat.
The neighbor upstairs also has a brownie and she smells him every day. The brownie is not so important what he is treated to, but it is important that they remember him and do not forget to invite him to the table. It is necessary to say, brownie priest, sit down with us at the table, help yourself to what God has sent. Or in the evening, the brownie priest, help yourself to a bite of what God sent.
If when I cook something or take a pancake, it slips to the floor or something else falls, spills. I catch myself, the brownie pushes by the arm, I haven’t treated him for a long time.
moving brownie
- Exactly the matchmakers are moving, - muttered Faddeitch. - And ride, and ride. No way, you see, it doesn’t sit still. Got it! Pilot pilots, first of all, planes ... all my life - either there, then here, then completely to hell in the middle of nowhere.
Maruska snorted.
Faddeich sniffed angrily.
- And what a house it was! Age-oops! Grandparents lived! No, he quit. Anyway, grit, I won't be back. Wilderness, grit ... and there will be wilderness, if everyone is separated!
“Well, I would have sat in that house,” Maruska said contemptuously.
- One? Faddeich blinked. - And what to interpret with you! What do you understand...
Maruska snorted louder than before, stretched herself and, raising her fluffy tail with her pipe, went to beg the hostess for something tasty.
And Faddeich, after grumbling for decency a little more, darted to himself under the stove to collect his things. He left his uncomplicated belongings in a battered backpack, sat down on the path. He sighed: somehow it will be in a new place? And the floors there, I suppose, are concrete, and the walls are cold ...
And, waving his hand, he shuffled towards the sofa cushions, stools, bookshelves and other goods destined for transportation on the last flight that cluttered the corridor. Groaning, he squeezed himself into a nest prepared ahead of time under the seat of an old armchair - and calmed down. What should a brownie do on the road? It is clear that - to sleep, to accumulate strength. In a new house, tea, you won’t get any trouble.
####
"I can't see that chair," the hostess said angrily. - It's older than me! Look, it will fall apart. Vikushka, stop squeezing the unfortunate cat! Put her in the carrier and go downstairs, we'll be leaving soon.
Maruska hated being carried. However, to hiss when the mistress is not in the spirit ... no, a decent cat will not allow herself such a thing. A plastic lid clicked over her head, Maruska curled up into a ball and prepared for a long and boring idleness.
And then, nearly knocking Vikushka down with the carrier, Baba Anya darted into the corridor. She twirled her beak-like nose, surveying the remains of her neighbor's property.
- But you are right, Lenochka, oh right! In a new apartment and such rubbish to drag - do not expect prosperity.
- Squeaks, - inappropriately complained the hostess. - As Vikushka flops into him, so his heart skips a beat.
Baba Anya busily felt the worn upholstery of the chair.
- You would give it, Lenochka, to my fool in the garage. And I would give you a ficus - it’s dark with me, ficus, withers away.
The hostess hesitated, looked back at the owner. He waved his hand.
- Decide, as you know.
- That's all right, - Baba Anya cackled, - that's wonderful.
Maruska hissed in the carrier, but the owners, of course, did not understand her. Even Vikushka.
####
Faddeich woke up from a pungent stench. The head was cracking. Gasoline fumes crawled into the gap under the seat like a gray snake. Nearby something roared, clanged - and it became quiet. Groaning, groaning, and wrinkling his nose, Faddeich got out.
And he was dumbfounded.
Concrete floor, brick walls... a puddle of gasoline sharply kicking in the nose... a mountain of empty bottles, some smelly rags, pieces of iron... a broom in the corner - for furniture, not otherwise, the floors are never swept... no, this is not a new house! Faddeich blinked, sobbed, tossed about in search of a way out. Almost fell into a hole in the middle of the floor. Brick and iron, and a pungent stench, and mountains of rubbish. Locked up! No food, no fresh air! Oh, misfortune, inevitable death ...
Faddeitch fell on the concrete floor and wept. And then a street breeze blew on him, sweetly smelling of dust and dry grass. The brownie rushed to the smell, remembering the tricky word "ventilation", somehow heard from the owner. He looks - a piece of pipe is embedded in a brick wall with a window. Narrow, but if you want to live, you can crawl into a mouse hole. Faddeich screwed himself into the pipe, scratched himself into the white light, and rushed as fast as he could wherever his eyes looked - just to get away from the terrible trap that stank of gasoline.
I ran for a long time. Completely out of strength. Finally, he collapsed into the grass under a bench, in a strange, unfamiliar yard, and began to cry. Where to go? Where to look for yours?
However, tears will not help the cause. Faddeich recovered his breath, calmed down, began to think. I remembered that the owner had said: now it will be two steps to work, and the neighbors are all their own, from the unit. So, you need to go to the outskirts where the planes are roaring and buzzing - and only there to look for a new home.
- Eh, pilots-pilots, - Faddeich sighed. He got to his feet, brushed himself off, straightened his backpack - and wandered off.
####
Baba Anya stood on the balcony and watched the moped roar into the yard, how Marinka from the next entrance sits in the back seat and the granddaughter, hitting the gas, proudly takes her to ride.
“That’s how I’ll wait for my great-granddaughters,” Baba Anya sighed. She rubbed her dry palms, snapped her fingers, and disappeared.
If one of the curious neighbors were now looking at the woman's balcony, it would have seemed to him that the old woman simply darted into the room. But in fact, she found herself in a garage, now free from the granddaughter and his moped. She went to the neighbor's chair, lifted the seat:
- And where is my future assistant here? Show up, show yourself, now I'm your mistress. I exchanged honor for honor, according to customs, according to decency.
If the brownie were here, nothing would be left for him after these words, how to recognize a new mistress over himself. But Anya did not wait for an answer. Frowning, she walked around the garage, rummaging through a pile of oily, gasoline-stinking rags.
- Oh, you! I ran away, I didn’t have time ... well, nothing, you won’t go far, - Baba Anya grabbed a broom, whispering, muttered something unintelligible under her breath - not otherwise, a spell, - and the broom, trembling, hung over the floor next to the old woman. She sat down on a clumsy broomstick sideways, like a lady. Whooped:
- Go!
The broom, laying a steep turn, flew out of the garage. The iron clanged behind him, the lock clicked by itself. The broom was enveloped in a misty camouflage haze.
- Seek! - A ball of unevenly spun black wool jumped out of Grandma's hand, spun, ran a semicircle in front of the garage and jumped, taking the trail.
####
Faddeich could not even imagine that it was no accident that he ended up in someone else's garage. And even more so, the brownie did not expect a chase. Fortunately, he had already crossed three streets - and the streets during the day are very similar to rivers and, like rivers, hide the trace of a fugitive. An old woman on a broomstick rushed over the stream of cars, looking for an indistinct trace of a creature smelling of home comfort in the gray exhausts, while Faddeitch went farther and farther away. There was no need to think about the direction: the planes taking off over the city were visible from the northern window of the now abandoned apartment. That's just not close to the northern outskirts, oh, how not close ...
Happiness is that brownies know how to be invisible - otherwise, perhaps, one would have to bypass wide yards with walking children. No, Faddeitch would not have had any trouble making his way along the sidewalks, but all the same, the possibility of cutting corners greatly shortens the path. In addition, in one yard, the brownie picked up an apple core, and in another snatched a bread crust from sparrows - a meager, but dinner.
- Eh, pilots-pilots, - Faddeich muttered, checking the way to the north. - At least one of his meet, since such an opportunity.
But from "their" only cats came across. And the cat, although it understands what's what, is too proud a creature. She will not ask a tired brownie wandering through her yard, what wind brought him here.
####
Maruska at first hissed, then began to yell.
“Marusenka,” muttered Vikushka, “don’t be afraid, good one. We'll go soon.
- Violent beast, - the driver shook his head. - As soon as you cope, and not scratched at all.
"She doesn't like being carried, but she's so affectionate," Vikushka explained. - Calm down, Marusenka, we'll come, I'll let you out ...
Why, Maruska twitched her tail, people are so stupid. And also "reasonable man", ha! This is a smart cat! And how much effort even the smartest cat has to put into taming the owners - it's scary to think! And in the end - they are locked in a cage when you need to act and every minute is precious! And the truck is dragged around the city from the outskirts to the outskirts, either at traffic lights, or at crossings, and Vikushka keeps saying, stupid, her “don’t be afraid” ...
It must have been at least half an hour before the truck finally stopped at the new house. Vikushka went up to the third floor - the first, clutching the cat carrier to her. The lid clicked. Maruska did not wait for her honor to be released to check the new apartment: she jumped out, dodged, flashed down the stairs like a red lightning.
- Marusya, - shouted Vikushka behind, - Marusenka, come back!
Silly girl, thought Maruska. Stupid people, where are you without Faddeich! Stupid, stupid hostess, she gave it away herself! I traded happiness in the house for a ficus, ffe! I'll be back, Maruska thought, the first thing I'll do is smash that ficus. To smithereens. There is nothing for him to do in a good house, a witch's ransom!
####
Faddeich is tired. The sun was already sinking behind the skyscrapers of the western outskirts, long shadows outlined the asphalt heated during the day. It was clear that he would have to spend the night under the stairs of someone else's entrance, or in a random doghouse, or at the side of an unfamiliar cat. Yes, that's enough, thought Faddeich, will I find my own? Maybe it would be wiser to look around and choose new owners and new housing? After all, it’s not at all difficult: for the whole huge city there are hardly a dozen brownies - those who did not leave their owners to the mercy of fate, who forever left their grandfather’s huts ...
But, thinking this way, Faddeich walked and walked - to where the landing planes were roaring over the city outskirts. There, where he settles down for God knows what over the past fifteen years, his new place ... his family, I suddenly thought. Not masters, no - what kind of masters are they when they don't even know about him? Just the people he got along with. Who… loves?
The human word seemed stupid and out of place. Brownie - the one who takes care of the house, from time immemorial it has been so. But his house was left far and away, his house was abandoned long ago, abandoned forever, like the whole village. But there is a man who remembers that house. Which is rooted in it - like Faddeich, the stupid brownie, who has forgotten the age-old foundations, who has changed his house - to people. Common roots - not so little.
####
The tangle lost track, and there was nothing surprising in that: centuries-old proven means are not always suitable for a changed life. But Anya was not going to give up. Putting the broom back in place - exactly five minutes before her granddaughter returned - she hid behind the back wall of the garage and called Chura. Someone who, and a garbage rat, will find in the city at least a runaway brownie, even the bald devil himself. Ask, however, not cheap. But it's worth it.
The old woman did not bargain, and Chura took the trail a few moments before the exhaust of the moped finally filled up all the smells. Now she won’t let her go, and no such rivers-roads will knock her down. Baba Anya rubbed her withered hands contentedly, snapped her fingers and was transported home. While the frivolous granddaughter is saying goodbye to his maiden, the mushrooms stewed in sour cream will ripen, the potatoes will be cooked ... oh, Baba Anya thought, let her invite Marinka to visit? The brownie is almost in their pocket, it's time to think about the wedding. Of course, Marinka could do it herself, she is a smart girl, and her mother is the best housewife in the yard. But everything is calmer with brownies.
####
Maruska did not repeat the path of the truck. Is she a cat, after all, or is she not a cat? And if the cat - so really will not find a direct path? And it doesn’t mean anything that she hasn’t been on the street since her birth. The mind is either there or it isn't.
Therefore, Maruska boldly straightened the path through the yards - all the more boldly, since the street with the roar of cars and the hustle of pedestrians frightened the domestic cat to complete dumbfoundment. Yards, however, threatened to meet with dogs - but Maruska was lucky. Or rather, the time was good: apartment dogs rarely walk their owners in the middle of the day, their time is morning and evening, and the yard dogs on this hot day obviously preferred wallowing in the sun to running after cats.
However, in one alley, next to the garbage cans, Maruska still had to sit out on a tree - while a flock of spotted islands shared their prey: bones thrown by someone, deliciously smelling of broth. In another place, an inexperienced cat in travel turned into a dead end and almost got lost: I had to ask for advice from the locals, striped and arrogant, and for a long time listen to their ridicule in half with a description of the right road.
And the sun was already sinking behind the skyscrapers of the western outskirts, and Maruska began to fear that she would not be able to return before nightfall. Vikushka, perhaps, is crying, the owners are rushing about, not knowing how to calm the cub. Instead of a joyful housewarming… and it’s their own fault, Maruska twitched her tail. But the understanding that the hostess was really to blame herself, and that she, Maruska, was doing everything right, did not help to forget Vikushkino's desperate "Come back!" A cub, he is a cub, thought the cat. Let him be stupid, but how can you not love him and not feel sorry for him? And Maruska ran even faster. And so it happened that she almost slipped past Faddeich.
####
Faddeich put the thought of lodging for the night out of his head: the summer evenings are long, and it seemed to him that there was not much left to go. But he was hungry again, and he really wanted milk. The hosts, I suppose, do not even suspect that Maruska is begging for milk not for herself, the brownie smiled sadly. Oh, and what a time: if it weren’t for a cat, people wouldn’t even think of it ...
A sharp sense of danger came from behind. Still not understanding what was the matter, the brownie recoiled, and only then realized: the smell. A sharp gust of wind carried the stink of a garbage rat to him.
Faddeitch groaned and thrashed about. Under the bench? Too open. To the entrance? Well, how will there be a hole from which reinforcements will arrive in time for the enemy? Glance fell on the drainpipe, flattened from below so that you could sit. Faddeich jumped up and pulled himself up, jerking his legs. Fenced off from the yard with a backpack. And he groaned: you fool, after all, sit down and have nowhere to go! Himself, as they say, caught.
A patch of asphalt was visible through the gap between the backpack and the side of the pipe, and just now this asphalt was being sniffed by the long mustaches of a gray robber.
Chura lifted her head and sniffed the air. Bared her teeth:
- Get off yourself, grandpa. I will not touch, I paid for the delivery.
"Ran away," muttered Faddeich. - I know your delivery, trash trash.
- As you like, - the rat turned its nose and suddenly, jumping up, grabbed the backpack with its teeth. Faddeitch yelled, released the straps. The rat shook its head, and the backpack flew off to the side.
And he fell right in front of the muzzle of a fluffy red cat rushing headlong.
Maruska looked back. She saw how Faddeich, white with horror, shoved his feet away from the rat that had stood on its hind legs. And without wasting time to think, she jumped.
No one taught her how to hunt rats. But either you are a cat - or not. Maruska closed her teeth on a thick rat's scruff, pressed her paw for fidelity, and, having intercepted the prey as the memory of her ancestral hunters suggested, she clenched her jaws.
The rat didn't squeak. Only claws scraped on the asphalt. But Faddeich squeaked:
- Marusya!
And he fell out of his shelter right on the cat's back.
“Sit there,” Maruska snorted. Just hold on, I'll run fast.
####
Smelling of garbage and rats, Maruska was bathed with flea shampoo, swaddled in a fluffy towel and dried with a hair dryer. In vain she hissed that every decent cat perfectly knows how to clean itself without the master's help. Vikushka tugged at her fluffy fur with an iron comb and kept repeating:
- Marusya, our Marusenka ...
Faddeich rustled under the kitchen stove, settling in a new place. And the hostess, brewing tea, grumbled under her breath:
- Wow, a new house - and the mice are already wound up. A. Gorelikova
What is a brownie, or How to appease a brownie 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 from time immemorial, 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 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 can 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
How to call a brownie to a new house.
In ancient times, people very carefully approached the choice of housing, in each house a brownie had to live. If he was not, then he was called to his house.
People always tried to maintain good relations with him, did not forget to turn to "grandfather-neighbor" with an affectionate word, leave some delicious food.
And then he paid good for good: he looked after the cattle, helped keep the house in order, warned of impending misfortune - for example, he could wake him up at night.
Many fairy tales and legends have been written about brownies, and they were not born from scratch. Genetically everyone remembers them.
Therefore, here we will talk about how to call a house spirit into your home and how to make contact with him so that he becomes your assistant in the house and in life. House spirits know many secrets and can teach you.
We are told many wonderful stories about brownies, letters come with requests to tell us about how to call a brownie, how to properly communicate with brownies, why brownies like to play pranks.
Who are these brownies?
In the literature on mythology, several types of brownies are distinguished:
The first type is a zoomorphic house spirit that lives in the home space and ensures the well-being of the family; genetically, this spirit is associated with previously living ancestors.
The second type is a character in the form of Laska, whose main function is to take care of the health and well-being of family members.
The third type is an anthropomorphic male character, the patron spirit of the family, the house, the entire economy, it is directly the master spirit, the ruler. Usually this is a hereditary brownie, and he has a personal name.
The fourth type is the spirit-enricher, consisting in the service of a person and bringing him wealth for obligations on the part of a person as feeding, and the person had to support him in a special way.
The fifth type - spirits living in the underground of the house or in the dark corners of the house, adjacent to the household, they are able, under certain conditions, to take care of and help the household. They also brought wealth. They are very different in appearance, function and character.

Sometimes it was believed that the Domovoy had a family - a wife (domakha, domovichiha, bolshuha) and children. By analogy with the names of the female spirit of the house (maruha, kikimora), it is assumed that Mara could be the most ancient name of Domovoy.
Similar beliefs about the spirits of the house existed among the Western Slavs and many other peoples.

Why do you need a brownie?

Brownies can help people, but they do it only under an unspoken agreement “You - to me, I - to you”. That is, if the house spirit feels gratitude from the owners, care and constant contact, then in response it thanks the person, helps him to do good in his destiny.

house spirits:

* Guard the apartment.
* Protect the owners (old and experienced brownies).
* Promote prosperity and wealth in the family.
* Mess around with little kids, take care of them.
* If a person calls him for help in a difficult situation outside the walls of the house, for example, while traveling, he will hear.
* Helps in solving difficult situations.
* Protects from trouble, warning about it in advance.

Brownies are prone to hoarding and prosperity. It is believed that the one who has a brownie will always have order in the house. If a person has a guardian spirit, then there will be complete order in his fate, even if some unexpected, global problems appear in the fate of a person. The guardian spirit, considering itself a co-owner of this fate, will promptly solve or pacify difficult problems.

Brownie grandfather,
come home.
Come live with us
we will love you.

This action must be repeated three days in a row. And somewhere in 3-4 days you will feel someone's presence. Since the call contains the words “Grandfather Brownie”, then this vibration will bring you a spirit from the family line of your incarnations. Or some lonely spirit who will definitely be kind to you.
