What does a real brownie look like? Meeting in reality and rare photos. What does a brownie look like in real photos (10 photos)

In the old days it was believed that in every dwelling there is a real "owner", whose name is brownie. He protects the owner's family from troubles, looks after the household, helps in difficult moment... But this creature can do harm. This happens if he is offended. Perhaps, no one knows exactly what a brownie looks like. But many legends and legends have survived to our time, from which we can learn a lot of interesting things about the appearance of this creature, its character and inclinations.

Who is a brownie?

The ancient Slavs believed in various mythical creatures that guarded forests, fields, swamps, reservoirs and villages. Legends have survived to this day about the existence in every house, be it in the village or in the city, brownies who took care of their owners and were the patrons of their homes. Such a creature was called in different ways: brownie, khatnik, golbeshnik, baker, grandfather-brother, master, owner, and so on. It all depends on where this mythical hero lives. The baker, of course, is found behind the stove, the barn is in the barn, the bannik is in the bathhouse, and so on. Today we are thinking: "Does the brownie exist at all?" And in the days of our great-grandmothers, absolutely everyone believed in him. It was believed that there is it in every family.

If the owners of the house move somewhere, they must certainly take their brownie with them. Otherwise, the family will not escape troubles. There were people who claimed to have seen this creature. He appears before eyewitnesses in the form of a small hairy old man. And what a brownie looks like in reality, perhaps, no one knows. Indeed, sometimes he can take the form of one of the pets. So, for example, our cat can spin at its feet for a long time when we cook in the kitchen. Entering the room, you can find that Murka is sleeping peacefully on the sofa. "Who was that?" - we are surprised. The appearance of the patron of a house can tell a lot about its owner. If the family of the spirit is good, prosperous, owns a strong household, then this creature also has a pleasant, well-groomed appearance. And if the owner is in poverty, drinks bitter, has no wealth, then his brownie looks like a morbid creature in old rags. Few people could see him. The spirit appeared only in special cases... For example, when he was summoned with a special spell or when he himself expressed a desire to appear to someone. It is believed that seeing him is a bad sign. So the "owner" of the house warns his wards about the impending danger. In general, many legends are associated with this creature and popular signs... They will be discussed below.

Legends about the origin of the creature

The ancient Slavs believed that the brownie was none other than the firstborn of the family, its long-dead member, whom the Lord gave the opportunity to atone for his earthly sins by serving living relatives. There are other legends about how this fabulous creature appeared. Here is one of them: “The first people, Adam and Eve, had many children. One day the Lord called the whole family to visit. But Adam did not want to lead all the children to God, and took only two sons - Cain and Abel. But is it possible to hide something from the Lord? He got angry with Adam and turned the remaining children in the house into spirits. They became good, non-evil spirits. " And they also told about the origin of the brownies: “God got angry with the evil demons who rebelled against him and threw them to the ground. Some of these representatives of evil spirits found their way into people's homes. Having settled next to a person, these spirits settled down and became limp, became kind helpers to him. Unlike its other congeners: kikimor, goblin, water and others. Our ancestors tried to imagine what a brownie looks like. He was painted as a small wrinkled old man with cheerful lively eyes and a large beard.

It was believed that he lived an average of 500-600 years. Born as an old man, but dies as a baby. The younger he is, the older he is.

Golbeshnik from North Russian legends

In each area of ​​our vast homeland, the mythical master of the house was represented in its own way. Residents of the northern region of Russia believed that in every family there is a creature that no one sees. His name is Golbeshnik. Where does this strange name come from? It was believed that the spirit lives under the stove behind the partition (golbets) from the side of the underground. This creature is kind, takes care of the household of the family, often grumbles. But at the same time he does no harm to anyone. It was believed that if such a brownie is in the house, then its owners are protected from troubles and intrigues. bad people... But if another spirit, called oppression, settled in the family, then misfortune could also happen. This creature piled on a person during sleep in the form of a pet and strangled. It could end in tears: in the morning the relatives found the sleeping man dead. Therefore, they tried hard to "take" out of the house. Life stories about brownies are like fairy tales. However, eyewitnesses claim that many phenomena in our apartments are those that cannot be explained in terms of common sense, occur due to the fault of the spirits dwelling here. There were also other varieties of brownies in the legends of western and northern villages: lick (licked the wool of livestock and hair of small children), marshmallow (appeared in the form of a ghost on the walls of the house), and so on. Such a variety of the appearance of a home guardian is characteristic of the beliefs of this region of Russia.

On the nature and "kind of activity" of the spirit

As we have already found out, brownies are more often kind than evil. It all depends on whether the owner is good or bad in the house, and on how he relates to the spirits that live in his home. If the owners care about the cleanliness of the rooms, about the health of the livestock in the yard, about their material prosperity, then this creature helps its wards in everything. What does a brownie do? He protects the house from thieves, warns of impending danger, makes friends with the owner's dog and horses. With the latter, he likes to indulge often, for example, to braid their manes in pigtails. But if he dislikes any cattle, he will torture her to death. Therefore, a far-sighted owner, acquiring new pets, tries to please the spirit. He buys individuals of those breeds and colors that his grandfather-brother likes.

The patron does not favor only goats. It is believed that he is afraid of them. This spirit is very fond of playing pranks. A real brownie is a big joker. At night, he fiddles in the kitchen, rattling plates and cups. Sometimes it can break something, trample. The household members who have risen are unlikely to find the mischievous person at his occupation. They will see only fragments broken dishes, dirt in the kitchen, bad writing on the wall, and so on. Or it may be that the hostess, who left the dough or milk on the stove to come up, turned away only for a minute, and the food was already on the floor. They say: "He pampers the brownie." He loves cleanliness and order in the apartment. But lazy, greedy and unfair owners are often punished. And pranks alone are not enough here. To the greedy owner he will let thieves into the house. The unfair will set a fire so that the owner will lose everything, and so on. But most of all he does not like the brownie when they forget about him. If the owner does not honor the guardian spirits of his family, then these creatures begin to be mischievous and mischievous. To appease them, it is enough to leave the treat in the corner of the house or yard. They do not differ in fastidiousness in food. Therefore, a treat can be anything edible: sweets, bread, milk, grain, and so on.

"Relatives" of the brownie

Kikimora. She is the closest relative of the patron spirit of the house. Looks like a dwarf woman with a thimble head and a straw-thin body. It can live both in the house behind the stove (home), and in the field, in the forest, swamp (swamp or forest). Refers to evil spirits. If this is a domestic creature, then it often makes noise at night, interferes with the owners' sleep, harms their livestock (more often chickens), breaks dishes.

Getting rid of it is quite difficult. But you can protect your home so that the kikimora and the brownie cannot play pranks in it. In the apartment, you need to do the following: tie the salt shaker on the table with a juniper belt. If the kikimora torments the owner's chickens, then a talisman must be hung over the perch - the neck of a broken jug with a piece of red cloth. Our ancestors believed that dead unbaptized babies turned into these ugly females. Kikimora marsh or forest appeared before people in the form of a small dry old woman in rags, slovenly and a little eccentric. Legends circulated about her as a kidnapper of small children, instead of whom she threw an enchanted pole to her parents.

Bannik. Like the kikimora, it is the closest relative of the guardian spirit. He even looks very much like a brownie. He is often depicted as a small, dark old man with a long, mildewed beard. He lives in a bathhouse. She loves to be mischievous. It will scald someone with boiling water, then it will frighten someone with a knock on the wall. How to appease the brownie-bathhouse attendant? Leave him a piece of rye bread, sprinkled with savory salt. This is his favorite treat. And in the newly built bathhouse, a special cruel ritual is performed: they take a black chicken and, without plucking it, strangle it and bury it right there in the ground at the doorstep. It is believed that in this way you can protect yourself from the intrigues of the spirit.

Goblin. This is a forest spirit. In each locality, he was called differently: the leshak, and the forestry, and the owner of the forest, and the forest grandfather, and so on. He takes care of the forest, the animals and birds that inhabit it. Many people think that he is kind. However, this spirit treats everyone differently. To a good man help to get out of the forest if he gets lost. But he will deliberately confuse the bad: he will start to scare, haunt, make him wander aimlessly in circles. Nobody knows what the goblin looks like. It is believed to be an invisible spirit. In ancient legends, he is represented as a lonely big old man, resembling a decrepit tree. Mushroom pickers and berry pickers can sometimes walk past him and not notice. This is not surprising: only by looking closely, you can see hair that looks like twigs, arms and legs that resemble tree roots, a beard covered with lichens. Although quite often the spirit of the forest can take the guise of some plant or animal. Some people talked about meeting them in the woods. They met an inconspicuous person whose faces they could not remember. The stranger talked to them, helped them get out. And upon coming home, people could not even describe it. No one could remember what he looked like. It was believed that the goblin lived in a wooden hut in a dark dense spruce forest far from human eyes. All animals and birds, sensing the approach of death, come to the house of the spirit to find a last refuge here. He takes care of his charges. So, in a time of famine, he drives flocks of animals to other forests for food. It was with this phenomenon that the mass migrations of animals were associated. For a long time people tried to appease the devil, since in the villages they lived by the gifts of the forest. Having got angry, the spirit could bring many troubles to a person. One of them is cattle kidnapping. For the village economy, this was a big loss. And the goblin could steal the baby from the cradle. Instead of a child, parents in the morning found a sheaf of straw, a block of wood or a log. It was believed that the spirits of the forest brought up the kidnapped children, passing them secret witchcraft knowledge. Such a person subsequently became a healer or an evil magician.

Bean goose. It is a spirit that lives in a threshing floor (a wooden extension near the house for drying hay). If you do not get along with the bean goose, he can start a fire in his possession, and the owner will be left without hay. He will have nothing to feed his pets. It is believed to be the most evil spirit of all of the above. It is extremely difficult to cajole him. The only way to do this is to sacrifice a black cock to him. This ritual is bloody. They proceed as follows: they bring pies and a rooster to the threshing floor. On the threshold, the bird's head is cut off and all corners of the structure are sprinkled with blood. The pies are left right there. They leave without looking back. The custom was most widespread in the Kostroma province.

Folk omens

Since ancient times, people believed that if you live according to the laws of nature, respecting its patrons, then you can not be afraid of something bad. It was believed that when you move to another house, you must definitely call the guardian spirit with you.

They did it as follows: they took an old boot or hat and, holding the thing in their left hand, walked around the whole house counterclockwise. At the same time, it was necessary to pronounce the following incantation: “Grandpa-neighbor, here's our sleigh, go live with us. There is a house, brownie, let's go live with me. Lead your mistress as well as I can, I will reward ”. You need to go around the apartment when all the furniture is taken out. You should be the last to leave, having locked the door. And this is what our ancestors did when they wanted the kind brownie to move with them to a new place: for housewarming they put one coin in the underground, and sometimes four (according to the number of corners in the house). The first loaf that was baked in the oven of the new hut was taken out, cut off from it, salted and thrown behind the stove to treat its patron. There are many other folk signs associated with this creature:

If the brownie often strangles his master at night, you need to invite a priest to the house to consecrate him three times.

If the spirit of the home is often mischievous, bothers its wards, you need to put a handful of thyme in the pillow.

If the brownie does not like the owner, you need to bury the goat's head or skull in front of the house.

If in the morning the tenants find bruises on their bodies, it means that the spirit does not like them, you need to appease it.

If the creature strokes the owner with a warm and smooth hand - this is to well-being, and if with a cold and rough - unfortunately.

If any of your acquaintances is staying for the night in an apartment for the first time, you need to ask permission from the "owner" of the house. Otherwise, he will get angry and will not let the person rest at night, pushing and oppressing him. And this despite the fact that no one has ever seen him and does not know what a brownie looks like. His photo does not exist. However, many claim that they felt unreasonable anxiety and excitement in such a situation.

Hearing the groans or howl of the patron of the house - to the death of its owner.

How to call a brownie?

It is believed that you can see the guardian spirit at home only if he himself wishes it. Since ancient times, people have wondered what a brownie looks like. And there were those who claimed that at a certain moment they noticed how a small humanoid, overgrown with thick fur creature was watching them. The villagers believed this was a bad sign. This is how the spirit warns of danger. And how to make a brownie appear to us? How to call it, knew many peasants who lived in the village. The method is pretty simple. Need in a bucket with clean water discard unused comb and leave for three days. Over time, human hair was found there. He was taken out and dried. At a certain moment, the spirit of the house could appear for a few seconds.

But he did not always appear in human form. There were cases when people told that at the entrance to the barn or the farmyard they saw a huge black cat, which, when they appeared, would rush into the corner and disappear. They talked about it like this: "The brownie showed up."

How to appease the "owner" of the house?

In the old days, people were afraid of brownies and tried in every possible way to "butter up" them. Spirits love it when people remember them, leave a treat and congratulate you on the holiday. There are several ways to appease a brownie. The simplest of them is to leave a small present in the corner of the room. Also, the "owner" of the house loves to be called affectionately. He does not like the word "brownie". He prefers the nicknames "grandfather", "hostess", "kindly", "himself" and so on. This spirit is very sensitive to a trick on the part of a person. Therefore, speaking with him, you need to put your soul into the words, pronounce them from the heart. This creature also has its own holiday - on the night of February 9-10. It is imperative to treat your brownie with something tasty that day. The ancient Slavs even had such a tradition: to cook sweet porridge especially for him and put it in the evening behind the stove. It was believed that if you forget about this day, the brownie will get angry and begin to do bad things to their owners.

Friends of children and cats

If there is a baby in the family, then he probably knows what a brownie looks like. The real patron of the home can only in exceptional cases appear to the head of the family or mistress. But children see him often, especially small ones. He loves them, protects them from dangers, suppresses their pampering with sharp objects and matches. Little kids seeing strange creature in the house, do not be afraid of it. Perhaps they perceive it as part of the interior. You can often see a child playing with someone invisible, laughing and screaming. Pets probably see the little man too. By their reaction, you can always guess whether the brownie is in the house or not. If the cat looks intently into the corner, hisses for no reason, the dog barks anxiously at this place, you can be sure that you have a guardian spirit in front of you. If the animal runs after the invisible person, plays with it, it means that the brownie liked it.

But if cats, dogs and other animals do not take root in the apartment, they die or disappear, then the spirit disliked them.

Influence on culture

In Russia, the image of the guardian spirit, as they used to be very much loved, is so adored now. It doesn't matter for us whether there really are brownies. We are ready to listen to stories about them endlessly. Suffice it to recall here the popular cartoon from our childhood about the brownie Kuzyu or the book by Nick Perumov "Russian sword". In 1976, a fairy tale feature film entitled "The Duck Village" was released on television. The brownie Bump was played by the legendary actor Rolan Bykov. These strange mythical men are popular not only in Russian culture, but also abroad. So, in the heptalogy of Joan Kathleen Rowling "Harry Potter" there is a mention of such creatures - house elves. According to the history of the book series, they live in families of wealthy wizards and serve as masters. They can only get freedom if the owner gives them clothes. The theme of guardian spirits is reflected in fine arts... The wonderful artist Boris Kustodiev has a painting "The Merchant's Wife and the Brownie". In it, the master depicted a very piquant scene: a white-skinned, dazzlingly beautiful young merchant's wife is lounging on the bed half-asleep, and a pot-bellied, overgrown with thick wool, eerie-looking "owner" of this hot Russian hut is watching her. Looking at this work, you can vividly imagine what a brownie looks like.

Many stories can be heard today about the poltergeist in apartments. What it is: are there spirits at home, or some other entity - we do not know. And does the brownie even exist? Probably, for those who believe in him, he is real. And for those who are convinced that there is no "evil", it does not exist.

Have you ever lost things in your home, and then suddenly found themselves in the most inappropriate place? And no one wakes you up at night? Do you hear mugs, spoons and the sound of little feet when everyone is asleep? If you answered at least one question - yes, then you should know that a brownie lives in your house! But whether he is bad or evil, we have to figure it out ...

Who is the brownie

From the earliest times, people believed in the brownie and knew about its existence. The traditional image of the brownie is presented as a little bearded kind grandfather who lives behind the stove. The brownie is the keeper of the hearth, protects the owners from diseases, misfortunes and troubles. You need to be friends with the brownie - for his birthday - February 10, prepare porridge with butter and honey, put it on the table. Talk to the brownie, ask for advice, he will definitely answer you in a dream or with a sign that you will certainly see and understand everything! If you suddenly lost some thing, it would seem only that lying in a prominent place say out loud 3 times: “Brownie, brownie, play and give it back!”. In a few minutes you will see the lost object, this brownie plays with you like that.

Little children up to three years old see the housewife, he loves them very much for their clean energy. If you see that your baby froze and looks at one point smiling, then the brownie is playing with him. Mothers told stories of how toys fell into the baby's crib in an unknown way and the mobile began to swing.

How to see a brownie

Seeing a brownie happens very rarely, mainly before a bad fateful event, from the consequences of which the brownie will want to warn you with its appearance. He can warn in different ways:

• Before a fire in the house, the brownie woke one familiar girl in the middle of the night, looked intently into her eyes and pointed his finger at a bucket of water, after which he disappeared like a haze. After 2 days, the house burned down to the ground.
• To another woman, before the death of her husband, the brownie opened the window, which was blocked for the winter and started bat, which is known to be a harbinger of death. Amazing, isn't it?
• Maybe it will save about death - during the fire, he woke the hostess of the house with a cool breeze in the neck, after which the woman woke up and saw that the house was on fire.

There are various rituals for summoning a brownie, but we strongly recommend that you never do this! If the queen of spades, for example, or bloody mary are not proven phenomena, then the brownie, albeit not proven by scientists, but almost all people believe in its existence. It is impossible to disturb the keeper of the house for the sake of pampering; misfortunes, troubles, financial losses may begin in the family.

Brownie's grievances

Also, the brownie can take offense at you and begin to misbehave:

• If, in the event of moving to another house, you did not take it with you, you will not give rest to other residents. Before leaving for a new home, you must say: “Brownie go after me, you are ahead of me!”;
• When there is dirt, quarrels, fights in the house, the brownie starts to “rattle off” - turn off the light, rattle dishes, scatter objects around the house. There is also a belief that in such houses light bulbs often burn out, equipment breaks down, dishes break. In such cases, it is necessary to carry out a "general" cleaning in the house, walk with candles in all corners, apologize to the brownies and treat them with sweets.
• If you offend the brownie with something, it can appear at night and choke you. In this case, you need to appease the brownie - put sweets with cookies and a saucer of milk on the kitchen table since yesterday.
• Households and pets form strong friendships - if someone kicks a cat or hits a dog, they will take revenge.

Make friends with the brownie, he hears your thoughts and deeds. The brownie will deservedly appreciate your love for him, which will manifest itself in successful endeavors and the health of the family as a whole!

Do you believe in brownies? Find out from the article what these creatures are, how they look and what they bring to people.

A modern man, what is he? Terribly pragmatic. More often he equates with physical comfort and environment - good repair, expensive appliances, comfortable furniture.

For religion, faith in magic and magic in his life, if there is a place, then very little. And then he is sincerely surprised that something strange begins to happen in the house: things disappear, equipment breaks down, dishes break, rustles and sighs are heard. This is how the brownie shows itself. And he is clearly not happy with the fact that he was not treated with due respect.

Is there a brownie?

You need to immediately understand that the brownie is not a person, not an animal, and not even any creature that has a physical shell. He is an esoteric, astral creature.

The existence of the brownie has not been proven by scientists. It is not assigned to any of the existing species living beings and is not allocated to a new one. All photos in which the guardian of the house is allegedly captured in one of his likenesses are considered hoaxes, since their authenticity has not been confirmed.

Moreover, a person with a rational mindset will be able to find a scientific, completely logical explanation for all the tricks of the brownie, which will convince himself and others that this creature does not exist.

One of the versions: a brownie is a kind spirit that protects a house or apartment.

But our ancestors believed that in every house there is a guardian spirit, a mystical creature that, with a good attitude towards it, protects the dwelling itself and everyone who lives in it. The Slavs called the brownie god (from Ukrainian "kut" - corner).
The little housewife was respected, they tried to appease him, they left toys and food. He could even have his own corner and sleeping place. And no one was surprised by the hints and warnings that the brownie gave people, and sometimes his pranks. He was the patron saint of the home, protected it from fires, criminal encroachment, and gave the family living in it health, a secure life. He looked after the brownie and cattle and pets. And he was reckless only when the household treated him badly.

IMPORTANT: The brownie was considered a member of the family, and sometimes its head. No wonder he was called "master", "uncle", "grandfather", "brother".

Where does a brownie appear from in a house or apartment? What is the nature of this creature? There are very different opinions on this matter.

1. According to one version, the brownie is a ghost, the spirit of one of the deceased family members. Either the one who died first, or the one who sinned a lot, did not repent and could not go to another world, remaining forever the guardian of the dwelling.
2. According to another version, the house is a clot of energy left by the inhabitants of the house. If it is good, positive, then the brownie will be kind, if it is evil, negative, it will be dirty and frighten people.
3. Some of our ancestors believed that the brownies are the descendants of Adam and Eve, who are forced to live next to people, but hide from them because of their terrible appearance.
4. Also, the Slavs thought that God himself sent the housekeepers to their homes.

According to the Church, the brownie is an unclean force, a demon.

IMPORTANT: The Church has its own opinion on this matter. Orthodox Christianity does not deny the existence of brownies, but considers them to be demons, "from the evil one."

Believers who have icons at home, go to church, try to lead a godly lifestyle, repent of their sins, raise their children correctly, there is a Guardian Angel in their homes. And they no longer need any other "protector".
If the inhabitants of the house sin, swear, guess, conjure, conduct mystical rituals, if there are no icons in it, a demon may well start - a brownie, which will persuade everyone in the house to side with evil. And such a house needs to be cleansed.
The fact that some people consider it good to cohabit with the brownie, hold his figurines and images, Orthodox priests explain by the fact that even more than a thousand years after the baptism of Russia, they cannot get rid of pagan traditions and idols. After all, in fact, the brownie is the god of the pagan pantheon of the ancient Slavs.

IMPORTANT: In occultism there is the concept of "egregor". It means the condensation of energy, the continuation of thoughts, feelings, experiences of a person. If the brownie is an egregor, it exists as long as people believe in it. As pagan gods, they were relevant. And now, when they not only deify, but even doubt their existence, they can really disappear.

Brownie in the house: what does it mean, is it good or bad?

So, the brownie lives in the house. For better or for worse? After all, some advise to appease him, feed and entertain, while others - to drive him out, survive, to carry out a ritual of purification. For example, holy water, as described in

If a person is a deeply religious person, he will never want to cohabit with an unclean woman, much less to please her. But most of us are rarely distinguished by religious dogmas, beliefs, omens. For such a brownie is good. It is believed that he:

• protects an apartment or house from fire, robberies, and other troubles
• helps a family living in an apartment
• monitors the cleanliness of the house
• creates coziness
• indicates a malfunction of household appliances
• plays with small children and pets
• warns of trouble, gives signs
• attracts material well-being

The brownie keeps order in the house and gets very angry if it is not observed.

If a brownie makes dirty tricks, breaks or throws things around, makes noise, frightens household members, this does not mean that he is bad. The main food of this creature is not milk with bread or cookies, as many think, but the energy emanating from family members. If they are slovenly, quarrel among themselves, angry towards others, the housekeeper becomes the same. In order for him to turn from a dirty trick into a guardian again, you need to change your behavior and try to make friends with him.

• a creature that looks like a cat, covered with hair, with clawed paws, long ears, rare, sharp teeth and yellow eyes
• one of the deceased family members
• gray or smoky cat

Some describe the brownie as a cute, dense, round creature. Others - as something thin, tattered. The appearance of this creature largely depends on what kind of lifestyle people lead. If they are sloppy, do not keep order in the house, the brownie has to do everything for them. From this he loses weight, becomes emaciated and looks really scary.

Now there are photo and video cameras in every mobile, you can shoot anything. Therefore, the Internet began to dazzle with photos with supposedly brownies. It is difficult to determine from them whether they are genuine or not. The pictures show shadows, some kind of blurry silhouettes, they are difficult to make out. Nevertheless, some of these photos give goosebumps, so it is better not to look at them for the faint of heart and impressionable.

Where does the brownie live and hide in the house, apartment according to the beliefs of the Slavs?

According to Slavic beliefs, the brownie lives in warm and cozy places - behind the stove or on the stove.

In apartments where there are no such stoves, he lives in a secluded corner filled with furniture, in a pantry or in a large closet.

The brownie's favorite place is in the warmth, behind the stove.

If a person has a strong intuition, he can feel the habitat of the house. It can be calculated using a pendulum, a vine, and other rituals. But it is better not to do this: the owner - the priest loves to remain incognito, he will make himself felt if necessary.

Where do brownies come from in new homes?

Ideas about where brownies in homes come from are very different.

3. Paranormal experts believe that he appears home in a habitable house, that is, one where the energy of its inhabitants has already accumulated.
4. If the house is new, you want a good spirit to guard it, the brownie is called through special rituals. A family moving from an old place and wanting to take the owner away from there may try to take him with them. But this is extremely difficult to do, since the housekeeper is a sedentary creature, having chosen a dwelling, he is unlikely to leave it.
5. If not the whole family is moving, one of its members, the chance to take the brownie with you is even less.

Is a brownie needed in the house and for what?

The amulet is a brownie.

In the cartoon about the brownie Kuzyu the crow and Baba Yaga could not get enough of him. “Happiness has come!” They said. Our ancestors considered this creature as happiness. The brownie kept records of the household, symbolized fertility, gave health to people and animals. They tried to make friends with him, left him gifts.
Now, not everyone will be happy with such cohabitation.

1. Firstly, people who see a brownie feel fear and, they say, may become numb or gray.
2. Secondly, the way of life of families is changing a lot. It becomes difficult for the house-man to live as he pleases. The spirit can be frightened, angered by a vacuum cleaner and TV, loud music. And he can hardly find a secluded place in a small apartment. And an evil brownie is a disaster. He makes noise, scares people, hides things, sprinkles cereals, because of him milk turns sour. It remains to either make peace with him, accept his rule, or try to drive him out by performing rituals of cleansing the dwelling.
3. It is already clear that Orthodox Christian, leading a righteous lifestyle, certainly will not tolerate evil spirits at home. For him, the brownie is evil. After all, the Guardian Angel and the housekeeper will not get along under the same roof, the latter is clearly not needed here, rather you need to get rid of him.

VIDEO: Brownie. How to check if there is a brownie at home?

For a long time, people believed that the house was guarded by a certain creature, which we call a brownie. This is the owner who guards the energy of the house, looks after him and sometimes betrays his presence, which can frighten some household residents.

Many people feel the presence of evil forces in the house - then the house becomes uncomfortable, they do not want to enter it, there are frequent quarrels. It is a mistake to call the evil spirit a brownie. This is an evil entity that needs to be cast out. A brownie cannot do serious harm.

For a long time, disputes about who the brownie is, what he looks like, where he lives and how he affects the inhabitants of the house have not ceased. This article will help you deal with these issues, as well as ways to make friends with the owner of the house.

Is there a brownie?

You need to immediately understand that the brownie is not a person, not an animal, and not even any creature that has a physical shell. He is an esoteric, astral creature.

The existence of the brownie has not been proven by scientists. It is not assigned to any of the existing species of living beings and is not allocated to a new one. All photos in which the guardian of the house is allegedly captured in one of his likenesses are considered hoaxes, since their authenticity has not been confirmed.

Moreover, a person with a rational mindset will be able to find a scientific, completely logical explanation for all the tricks of the brownie, which will convince himself and others that this creature does not exist.

One of the versions: a brownie is a kind spirit that protects a house or apartment.

But our ancestors believed that in every house there is a guardian spirit, a mystical creature, which, with a good attitude towards it, protects the dwelling itself and everyone who lives in it. The Slavs called the brownie god (from Ukrainian "kut" - corner).

• The little housewife was respected, they tried to appease him, they left toys and food.
• He could even have his own corner and sleeping place.
• And no one was surprised by the hints and warnings that the brownie gave people, and sometimes his pranks.
• He was the patron saint of the home, protected it from fires, criminal encroachment, and gave the family living in it health, a secure life.
• He looked after the brownie and cattle and pets.
• And he was reckless only when the household treated him badly.

IMPORTANT: The brownie was considered a member of the family, and sometimes its head. No wonder he was called "master", "uncle", "grandfather", "brother".

The origin of the brownie

There is a legend about the origin of this "domestic" evil spirits (as well as all other evil spirits. This legend has many variants, but their essence is approximately the same):

When the Devil rebelled against the Lord God, he, as a punishment, overthrew him from heaven along with all the evil and rebellious angels, some of them, together with the devil, went straight to hell. But there were others who were not so burdened with evil and sins. They did not go to hell, but they remained on earth in the guise of familiar earthly evil spirits - such as mermaids, mermaids, kikimors, goblin ...

And those of the evil spirits who were kinder than others or repented, being thrown from heaven, were reincarnated into "domestic" evil spirits. According to legends, the brownie was considered the leader of the domestic evil, who appeared in the same way. It is believed that of all the impure, he is one of the most friendly creatures towards humans.

1. According to Belarusian legends, the brownie hatches from an egg that was laid by a rooster. After that, it is necessary to carry this egg under the arm for six months without removing it and always on the left side - after which the "brownie-snake" hatched.
2. According to one of the beliefs, it was believed that house spirits were people who died without the sacrament.
3. There is a less common version that a creature that was accidentally or intentionally destroyed in the house during its construction can become a brownie.

There were opinions according to which any creature that the builder of the house measured, and the measure was buried by him in one of the corners of the future house, after death turned into a house spirit and at the same time retained its former distinctive features, for example, meowing and scratching if it was measured by a cat , etc.

What science thinks about this

Scientifically, the existence of the spirit of the house has not been proven. Absolute majority researchers are skeptical about the stories about the brownie. But there are respected people who quite seriously believe that brownies are the souls of our relatives.

As a rule, they are men who died unbaptized or unsung during a funeral. Having behind great amount sins that were not forgiven, they are not able to leave the world of the living, therefore they are forced to settle where their relatives live.

The less popular version is as follows. Brownie is the soul of a woman who practiced black magic, and after death she became entangled with the devil himself.

What does a brownie look like

• If you ask a child what a brownie looks like, then most likely he will describe the type of a hero from the famous cartoon "brownie Kuzya".
• In the minds of adults, this is an old man in big bast shoes, a shirt stained with black ash and always with a long beard. As a rule, he lives behind a Russian stove. In the modern version, this is a kitchen or storage room.

The question of how much a brownie is a reduced copy of a real person is of interest to many. In the mystical sphere, the brownie appears to be a formless being, which has only an astral body, but does not have a physical shell.

Before people, he can appear in the following qualities:

1. glowing ball,
2. an animal that from afar resembles a bizarre cat with long hair and bright eyes,
3. a shadow of a spatial form, in the image of a deceased relative.

Some homeowners claim that they saw the brownie as a completely cute and fluffy creature. Others - that it is something thin. Largely appearance the keeper of the hearth depends on how his owners look like (the owners of the house / apartment in which he lives).

If people do not take care of their own home, do not clean, disorder reigns everywhere, then the housekeeper has to fulfill all household obligations for them, so he loses weight and looks untidy.

Indeed, if there is “age-old dust” on the shelves, then how can you be well-groomed and clean. Today, almost everyone has improved gadgets with which to take a variety of pictures. Therefore, the brownie appears before the public, now in the form of light, now in the form of a shadow. How much a photo or video can correspond to reality is difficult to say.

What a brownie looks like for many centuries remains a mystery, shrouded in darkness.

Brownie in the house - is it good or bad?

So, the brownie lives in the house. For better or for worse? After all, some advise to appease him, feed and entertain, while others - to drive him out, survive, carry out a ritual of purification.

If a person is a deeply religious person, he will never want to cohabit with an unclean woman, much less to please her. But most of us are rarely distinguished by religious dogmas, beliefs, omens. For such a brownie is good.

It is believed that he:

• protects an apartment or house from fire, robberies, and other troubles
• helps a family living in an apartment
• monitors the cleanliness of the house
• creates coziness
• indicates a malfunction of household appliances
• plays with small children and pets
• warns of trouble, gives signs
• attracts material well-being

The brownie keeps order in the house and gets very angry if it is not observed.

1. If a brownie makes dirty tricks, breaks or throws things around, makes noise, frightens household members, this does not mean that he is bad. The main food of this creature is not milk with bread or cookies, as many think, but the energy emanating from family members.
2. If they are slovenly, quarrel among themselves, angry towards others, the housekeeper becomes the same.
3. In order for him to turn from a dirty trick into a guardian again, you need to change your behavior and try to make friends with him.

Where do brownies come from in new homes?

Ideas about where brownies in homes come from are very different.

1. According to one of them, the deceased owner of the house or the one who built it becomes the housewife.
2. According to the other, the brownie is sent by God himself as a reward to decent people, strong families, good owners.
3. Paranormal experts believe that he appears home in a habitable house, that is, one where the energy of its inhabitants has already accumulated.
4. If the house is new, you want a good spirit to guard it, the brownie is called through special rituals. A family moving from an old place and wanting to take the owner away from there may try to take him with them. But this is extremely difficult to do, since the housekeeper is a sedentary creature, having chosen a dwelling, he is unlikely to leave it.
5. If not the whole family is moving, one of its members, the chance to take the brownie with you is even less.

Types of brownies

There are three types of entities that can live with a person in the same house. In fact, there are many more of them, but this classification is enough for most people to understand which spirit shares their dwelling with - evil or good.

The first variety

This is a brownie in its classical representation, which was already known to our ancestors. That is, this creature is not from our world, the purpose of which is mutually beneficial coexistence with a person.

He protects the house and those who live in it from evil spirits and misfortunes, helps with household chores and takes care of animals. In return for this, the brownie receives respect, food and a roof over his head.

Almost all spirits of this type are considered kind, because it is in their own interests to have positive energy in the room. The better the family lives, the better such an entity feels. Some believe that only such brownies have their own families, wives and children.

Second variety

These are the dead, working off their karma. You should not be afraid of them, they are usually very peaceful and have a positive attitude towards those in whose house they live. They are abandoned higher powers in the role of brownies, if during life they paid too much or too little attention to their home and family.

• These are people who are obsessed with order, lazy in everyday life, not paying attention to children and parents.
• Their goal is to correct their mistakes by helping another family live happily and keep the household in order.

This is also a good spirit. His influence on the house depends on who he was during his lifetime. For example, an entrepreneur who is punished for spending too much at work and hardly being with family can help you succeed. But in doing so, he will guide you towards a reasonable balance between family and work. The signs of the presence of good spirits in the house are identical, regardless of whether they belong to two different types.

Third variety

The third species cannot be called a brownie, but it is often mistaken for one that has an evil character and harms the place in which it lives. These are entities of various origins, who had the opportunity to take advantage of the fact that you did not have a brownie and took his place.

1. Unlike him, they need negative energy, and they do everything so that it accumulates in your home.
2. He will not bring his family to death, because then he will have nothing to eat, but it is not worth the risk.
3. In this case, your home needs cleaning in any way that is acceptable to you.

These three types can be divided into two - good brownies and evil ones. They show their presence in different ways.

How to find out if there is a kind brownie in the house

The presence of a kind brownie in an apartment is always noticeable if you listen to yourself. Their habits are usually very similar.

• If you do not have pets, but at night you hear footsteps similar to those of a medium-sized dog, this is most likely a brownie.
• You should not be afraid of these sounds, they only mean that the spirit that keeps the house checks whether everything is safe in the territory under its control, and is engaged in its other duties.
• This is evidenced by rustles, crackles and other nocturnal sounds.

Cats and dogs see brownies and can even play with them. If you are wondering how to find out if there is a brownie in the house, watch your pet. Cats may start to purr without apparent reasons, which means that the brownie scratches them behind the ear. Sometimes they play together, because brownies, like young cats, are very fond of playing. From the outside, it looks like a cat is chasing and playing with someone invisible. If a cat behaves strangely, and at the same time he is not scared, and does not show aggression, there is definitely a kind brownie in your house.

Dogs play with good spirits much less often than cats. Usually they just look at something invisible without reacting to their owners. If the dog does not show aggression and fear at the same time, then everything is in order. They love these entities and children, especially babies. Watch to see if your child is walking with someone you can't see. It is believed that children can see brownies.

Brownies are very fond of sorting through the dishes in the kitchen. If it rings for no apparent reason, it means that you have a good spirit. He can steal candy and other sweets if you leave them in a visible place. Especially prefers the essence of a candy without wrappers. If she has kids, they can scatter or rearrange your child's toys.

Signs

1. If you are not afraid to sleep in the dark in your home, it means that you subconsciously understand that someone is concerned about your safety. Some even clearly feel that there is some kind of entity that protects the house and its residents.
2. Brownies, provided they are well treated, can send good or prophetic dreams, banish nightmares or wake up during them, as well as not let sleep the beginning of the working day.
3. They often tell you when guests will come or when your family members will return to the house. Notice if you have a premonition before a knock on a door or a phone call.

In an apartment in which a good spirit lives, it is pleasant not only to sleep at night, but also to be. You are happy to return to your home, to your family good relationship, and even if a quarrel flares up, everyone quickly calms down and adequately resolves the dispute. You should be friends with a kind brownie, leave him food and toys, thank him for his help and care.

Sometimes they show dissatisfaction, but it will still be different from the manifestation of evil spirits.

How to find out that an evil house spirit is in the apartment

In principle, it is impossible to call an evil creature a brownie, but they are very often confused, therefore such a classification is considered correct at the present time. If such a creature is in your apartment, sleeping without light will be uncomfortable. Even adults in such conditions may be afraid to be alone in an apartment, especially after the onset of darkness, which adds strength to the dark creatures.

• Quarrels and scandals, excessive drinking and other sources negative energy are present in a living space exclusively at the same time as an evil spirit, which is often confused with a brownie.
• Sometimes, if people live “wrong”, the kind brownie gets offended and leaves, and evil spirits come to replace him.
• Frequent illness of all family members is another sign of the presence of something bad in the house. It is unpleasant to be in an apartment where evil lives.

Perhaps you have no desire to go home after a day at work? Try to clear the apartment of negativity. It also influences the desire of friends and neighbors to visit you. It is uncomfortable to be in an apartment, the tenants of which are adjacent to evil spirits, usually people want to quickly go to their native walls.

Any evil entity that lives in your house should be driven away and a real brownie should be called, who will protect him from further attacks of evil forces.

How to call a brownie

As a rule, brownies can appear in response to the call of their owners. Even if after the ceremony, he does not appear, this does not at all mean that he did not come in an incorporeal form. But the brownie may not come at all. It so happens that he simply left the home due to improper treatment, or the relationship between family members is so negative that he simply became uncomfortable in this place.

In order for the brownie to make contact, you need to stay alone in the apartment, since these creatures are shy and extra people will only doom the attempt to summon the entity to failure.

1. The brownie will never refuse a treat. Also in Ancient Rus it was customary for him to offer sweets, bakery products, milk or cheese.
2. For a week, before the ceremony, it is recommended to leave a saucer with a treat in the corner of the kitchen.
3. Before carrying out the ritual, you need to lay a tablecloth white and arrange all the possible sweets. It can be candy, cookies, lollipops, or chocolate.
4. When the table is ready, you need to turn away, allowing the brownie to taste the prepared delicacy without hindering him.
5. Speak three times following text: "Grandpa, come to me for a treat!"

If the brownie dares to come, then the person will understand this almost immediately. You can hear quiet movements or stomping. But in no case should one turn and react, otherwise he will be frightened and run away for cover.

When a person calls the keeper of the hearth, then most often this is due to the desire to ask him for something. In this case, there is no need to rush. To begin with, it takes time for him to taste the cooked treat.

1. To understand what the answer is, you need to give it a designation.
2. For example, if he touches the left hand - yes, the right - no.

Do not think that the brownie will start talking about the future or act as a consultant. All communication will take place exclusively through signs or the movement of objects.

Upon completion of the ceremony, you must definitely thank for your help. You can only turn to face the table when the brownie is gone. After a day, all the remnants of sweets must be buried under an adult tree near the house in which the ritual took place.

When to call the brownie

It is best to call the brownie either late in the evening or at night. This is not a strict rule, since many people communicate with him in the daytime, but during the day the brownie most often sleeps.

In order for the brownie to come into contact, first of all, it is necessary to take care of him not only the day before, but throughout the entire time.

• Respect should always be shown to the householder.
• Otherwise, he will begin to be naughty at night and even scare his owners out of resentment.
• If you plan to move, then immediately you need to deliver him a treat, luring him to a new home.
• It is also important for a creature that harmony and order reign at home.
• He does not tolerate dirt, so if cleaning is a rare holiday, then he is unlikely to remain in such a family.

Rite of passage with pencils

An alternative way to summon a brownie is not difficult. You need to use pencils as improvised means. However, it is worth remembering that you should only call the brownie in extreme cases when it is impossible to find a solution to a problem or problem on your own. You can use the rite if the family has been living in an apartment or house for at least six years. Magicians, psychics and sorcerers recommend carrying out the ceremony together with a spouse or spouse, but in no case with a blood relative.

1. Everyone should take three pencils and put them together in such a way that the beech "P" is obtained.
2. Then we say the following words: “Father, father, please tell me (ask a clearly formulated question). If "yes", then raise the sticks up, if "no", then lower them down. "

If he accepted the call for help home, he will definitely answer all the questions. Before carrying out the ritual, it is necessary to think carefully about the prepared requests, since you can only ask for something or ask questions three times.

As a conclusion, you definitely need to thank the brownie and give him time to grab a few more prepared gifts. You can open your eyes or turn to the table only after the creature leaves.

Rite of passage

• Another version of the ceremony is carried out with spoons.
• First, you need to prepare four spoons of any size, and also cut strips from paper.
• Wrap the spoons with paper strips so that a small amount remains in the form of tails.
• Turn off the light in the room and lay out all the objects in a circle.
• We read the following words: “Come, come, master! If you come - unfold any spoon one and wrap it back. "

If home accepts the invitation, then challenging person will certainly hear a rustle, but you cannot turn around. To understand if the brownie is ready to listen, you can touch the spoons. If they are cold, then everything is in order and you can state your request.

How to communicate with the spirit at home

If a person not only knows who the brownies are, but also perceives them as defenders of their home, perhaps as comrades, then you can turn to them for help.

Try to establish a telepathic connection. Mentally tell about difficult situations that have arisen in your life, ask a question of interest. Maybe the spirit that hears you will give some sign, suggest the only correct decision.

The disappeared note will mean that your request has been considered, and you will receive an answer shortly. If a note left by you has become crumpled or torn, this is a sign that the brownie does not want to help you in a matter that he considers wrong or meaningless.

Many sources, including the "Brownie's Diary", say that the old man who lives behind your stove cannot be bribed. He can only be appeased. You don't even need sweets or any special attributes for this. It is enough to turn to him with a kind word, sing a funny song or make a few compliments.

If you are looking for a way to negotiate with the brownie, then it is possible that he will be very offended by you and will be mischievous.

When the spirit of the home is dangerous

People leading a godless lifestyle often face manifestations of aggression from the brownie. Somewhere expensive accessories disappear from the house, for example gold rings or earrings, and someone feels the indignation of the spirit.

For example, there are many stories where people complain that they are being choked at night. Fragile objects can also break, and strange and eerie sounds can be heard.

How to put up with a brownie

If it so happens that you angered the spirit of the house, which is angry with you, makes it so that harmony has completely disappeared in the family, ask him for forgiveness. The brownie always answers good for good. The most important thing for him is that you found the strength to realize the wrongness of your own behavior and decided to change the situation for the better.

How to appease a brownie

Separate utensils	The brownie is a full member of the family, so he must have his own saucer and cup

Over the centuries, people have made a lot of effort to make friends with the brownie and make a good impression on him.

Making a good impression

• If the goal cannot be achieved, then it is worth waiting for pranks at night, and complete chaos will reign in the house. Not a single guest will stay in such a dwelling.
• However, if you treat the domovoy with respect, honor him and spoil him with goodies from time to time, then you can achieve his location and then the domovoy will be happy to help and protect the dwelling.

The fact that the brownie is positively disposed towards the living family can be understood if people began to find things that disappeared many years ago.

In Ancient Russia, it was believed that a brownie was best helper owners and house guard. If the family was in trouble, the brownie gave signs and tried to warn of the impending danger. It is always pleasant to be where the good brownie lives, but much depends on the people themselves.

You should not be afraid of the presence of the homemaker. It is important to know that if he makes himself felt, then it is worth looking for the reasons for this behavior. Probably, in this way, he wants to say something, and maybe express his displeasure. In order to appease the brownie, there are many ways.

Where do the creatures live

Brownies prefer to choose a warm corner for themselves. In old Russian huts, this was the place behind the stove. Since today, even in private houses, there are not stoves everywhere, this can become a place behind a fireplace or an attic. It is worth noting that when they moved in, many years ago, people specially equipped a small place for a brownie, made a bed and put a saucer with cookies or sweets.

The brownie can walk all over the territory of the house, but he will always live in the same place.

If one of the family members has committed a bad deed around the house (almost burned down the house, broke something, etc.) and understands this, then it is best to ask for forgiveness so that the brownie would hear and not punish the offender. However, words alone will not be enough, you will have to make up for your offense with good actions - fix something, clean up.

Brownies love it when people communicate with them in a positive way. It is important to remember that these are creatures that cannot read minds, so it is important to speak out loud so that they can hear everything. Also, you should not turn to the domovoy out of selfish motives, the domovoy will feel it anyway and may react negatively.

It's a good idea to develop a ritual, wish him a good day, for example, every morning.

The cat will constantly hiss in one of the corners of the room or behind the closet, it will bristle its fur, raise its tail ... in general, this means a conflict with the brownie. It can be solved simply. Cats are intelligent creatures and often try to copy the actions of people, although we do not notice it - they do it in their own way. Just show him how you feed the brownie. Show more than once, let the cat watch. Perhaps he will try to repeat it.
• If it doesn't work out, don't be discouraged. Playing with a cat at night (both the cat and the brownie are nocturnal creatures), gently and carefully bring him to that very corner. At first, he may hiss and be indignant, but then he will get carried away with the game and forget about his negativity. And there may come a moment when the brownie will connect to the fun, for example, roll out from under the closet the cat's favorite mouse or just a ball of thread. Support the game - and consider that the contact is established.

Rats

With domestic rats, everything is much more complicated. If she does not want to be friends, but the situation may turn out "either me or him." And you will not help in any way, you will have to keep the rats in a cage and not let them out in the habitats of the brownie.

However, if they become friends, the positive effect of the presence of the brownie will increase many times over. Rats are very loyal and loyal creatures, they feel better than any other pets emotional condition person and can correct it. And even paired with a brownie and even more so!

If the landlord does not hear the whispers of the brownie, then the latter goes to great lengths to draw attention to himself. An unkind guest can escape from the hands of a mug and break, spill something on the tablecloth. Sometimes the dishes are beating near the owner himself - this is also a warning.

The brownie tries to survive unpleasant guests with all its might. He begins to choke them, to put pressure on them. Such guests become uncomfortable with you - everything annoys them, they feel stuffy, in the end they only have one thought - to quickly leave your house.

It is believed that the Brownie often warns its owners about any changes in life.

1. For example, he pounds on the sleeping person during the night and presses him, so that at this time you can neither move nor say a word.
2. Lie quietly, restore your breathing and mentally ask the brownie what he wants to say - good or bad: "For better or for worse?"
3. The answer will follow immediately - a dull voice will say "yes" or "no".
4. If good, he will pet you; if the hand is woolen, it means money. Feel the pain - a warning about the illness of someone close to you.

Most often, the Brownie gives information to the oldest person in the family. These can be dreams, prophecies, signs, hints, knocks, any images seen with peripheral vision.

If the brownie is naughty

If spoons, knives disappear in the house, wrist watch and so on and 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." Search in each room separately.

If he plays pranks too often, it means that he is seriously suffering from loneliness. Then after the next hide and seek, hint that you are not against his marriage.

To do this, you need to tie any handkerchief, except for the nose, around the leg of the chair and say: "Brownie-grandfather, here's a friend, look at her, what you took, - return." If the Domovoy lives well, he gets a wife - Domovikha and a child - Domovik.

Folk omens

Since ancient times, people believed that if you live according to the laws of nature, respecting its patrons, then you can not be afraid of something bad. It was believed that when you move to another house, you must definitely call the guardian spirit with you.

At the same time, it was necessary to pronounce the following incantation: “Grandpa-neighbor, here's our sleigh, go live with us. There is a house, brownie, let's go live with me. Lead your mistress as well as I can, I will reward ”.
• You need to go around the apartment when all the furniture is taken out. You should be the last to leave, having locked the door.

And this is what our ancestors did when they wanted the kind brownie to move with them to a new place: for housewarming they put one coin in the underground, and sometimes four (according to the number of corners in the house).

2. If the spirit of the home is often mischievous, bothers its wards, you need to put a handful of thyme in the pillow.
3. If the brownie does not like the owner, you need to bury the goat's head or skull in front of the house.
4. If in the morning the tenants find bruises on their bodies, it means that the spirit does not like them, you need to appease it.
5. If the creature strokes the owner with a warm and smooth hand - this is to well-being, and if with a cold and rough - unfortunately.
6. If any of your acquaintances is staying for the night in an apartment for the first time, you need to ask permission from the "owner" of the house. Otherwise, he will get angry and will not let the person rest at night, pushing and oppressing him. And this despite the fact that no one has ever seen him and does not know what a brownie looks like. His photo does not exist.
