What to do if a bastard starts up in the house
You, probably, as well as I thought, that the drum is actually a brownie, but no. The little drum is a special creature, a small domestic spirit that never mischief, but peacefully coexists with you in the same space. But this is only one of the versions. There are others.
It has been known about the bastard since the time of Slavic mythology. It is there that he is designated as a small creature that can move from one reality to another and feed on the energy of a person’s physical and intellectual labor. He always moves after the owners from place to place. And it depends only on you whether you will be on good terms with him or not.
As a rule, he denotes his presence with extraneous sounds, which sometimes cause bewilderment among the residents of an apartment or house. It is understandable when in the middle of the night floorboards creak, curtains rustle or someone is coughing next to you, it is impossible not to be frightened.
Eater or bearded man. Who’s better?
There is an opinion that the darling and the brownie are still one and the same creature, but they are found in two different guises.
A kind, cheerful and calm creature living mainly in the kitchen will be a fan of an eater. He loves to rearrange dishes from place to place, run around the house and chase pets. But the bearded men are much angrier and more capricious. They are very quarrelsome, and if they do not like the new owners, then they do everything possible to drive them away. It is they who strangle people at night and scare them to gray hair.
Where do brownies come from?
A reel, a brownie, a poltergeist – these are all accumulations of energy. And people produce energy. Therefore, these cute or, conversely, evil creatures appear only thanks to us.
We transform them from our thoughts, words, emotions. All our experiences and joys, with which the home is saturated, seem to roll into balls, like dust, and “come to life.”
This creature is the bearer of our mood, it copies our character and disposition. Therefore, if you want your invisible home spirit to be calm and kind, become such yourself.
If your little one is playing pranks more and more, then it’s time to agree on the rules of social community and … to appease him. After all, he is, after all, a spirit, which means, according to the tradition of Slavic culture, he needs to sacrifice something.
In the old days, brownies were fed. They did it on the brownie’s birthday, April 1, and on his name day – February 7. However, if it seems to you that it is time to build bridges and make friends, do it right now.
Pour milk into a beautiful saucer, put a number of chocolates or a sweet bun next to it and tenderly say three times: “Grandpa-housewife, take a treat from me, I present you with great respect!”
Brownies are very fond of order and cleanliness. Keep an eye on your home and do not upset the spirit of the home by doing wet cleaning in a timely manner.
If you notice that your things have begun to disappear, it means that the old man is bored. Give him a chest or a box with every little thing as a gift, and you will immediately find the loss, because now he does not need to hide the master’s things, as he has his own.
Having made friends with the brownie, do not forget to take him to his new home. To do this, when moving, say: “My brownie, come with me.”
And there will be joy, happiness and kindness in your house.
