Moving to a new apartment - signs of our ancestors
When moving to a new place, our ancestors must. If you do not take the brownie with you, he will suffer, howl at night and interfere with new tenants. You don't want the suffering of the being that helped you all the time, do you?
When part of the family remains at the old place of residence, the brownie is not taken away. If someone lived in a new house for you before, the brownie is most likely already there, and you should make friends with him. If the house is new and built recently, a good house spirit must be called.
The old broom usually climbed into new housing. There are two reasons for this. The first - brownies live under brooms. The second reason is that the old broom can be severely damaged.
Leaving the old place of residence, they left a few coins so that the new tenants would live in abundance. Accordingly, prosperity awaited the new settlers, because what you wish for another, you will receive yourself. Before moving into a new apartment, they also throw coins on the floor for a rich life.
One of the relatives, not busy transporting things, kneaded the dough in the old place. Then bread was baked from it already in the new house.
In the past, it was believed that whoever entered the house first would die. New housing makes a sacrifice for the well-being of new tenants and their longevity. Therefore, it was customary for the older members of the family to enter first. Later, they began to run the cat first into the house. It's a cat, not a cat. It is desirable that it be black. The cat will not be harmed by this, and he will live as long as he is released. It was believed that the lamb for their evil spirits would not be offended.
Watch where the cat lies, what places he chooses to sleep and rest. Usually beds or a cradle for a child were placed there. Cats always choose favorable places in the house and try to stay away from unfavorable ones. Now not everyone keeps cats, so figurines depicting black cats often “enter” new houses first. In the future, they stand near the door and protect the house from evil spirits.
After the cat got used to the new place, they did a general cleaning of the entire room. Salt was often added to the water for purification.
In villages, before moving to a new home, they still let a rooster into it for the night. In the morning, with its crowing, the rooster drives out all the evil spirits that could settle in the room. And after that, jelly is prepared from the bird and served to guests for housewarming. Also, the rooster is considered a symbol of wealth and fertility, which he brings during his stay in the house.
The corners of the new dwelling were smeared with honey to live sweetly.
In the old days, it was customary to fumigate new dwellings with wormwood, juniper or other herbs with cleansing and fireless properties. They also cleaned the room with candles and special prayers. You can also read "Our Father", This is a universal prayer suitable for any situation.
Signs when moving to a new home - Feng Shui
Feng Shui experts believe that you should choose the right date for moving to a new home. To make this task easier, you can use . It is best to move in one day, immediately transport all things and no longer have to return to the old place. Don't start moving in the evening. Ideally, when these chores begin in the morning and end in the evening.
Feng Shui does not advise residents to take things out of an old house on their own. You can ask relatives to do this or hire movers. If relatives ask why they have to do the gathering while you are messing around - just answer: feng shui orders.
But it is precisely those who are going to live there who should bring the acquired good into the new apartment. Of course, sometimes this is not feasible, but you should take part even if you have hired helpers.
First of all, you should bring the most valuable and expensive things into the house. It will bring wealth and prosperity.
Leaving old housing dirty should not be. Be sure to put it in order before you leave for a new home. This expresses gratitude to the old house for warmth and comfort, which will allow you to start living in a pleasant atmosphere at a new address. Old housing can take care of you and make life better in the new one. Say goodbye to him, thank you out loud or to yourself for the years of care, take good memories with you, and let go of the bad ones.
There is another reason for cleaning in an old apartment, but it has nothing to do with Feng Shui. Our ancestors believed that new tenants could spoil the garbage. And not necessarily on purpose, because negative words and emotions also matter. No one will be happy to see the dirt in their new home, and certainly will not thank the previous owners for this. For the same reason, they fix minor problems like leaking taps.
Clearing a new place to live is an important step in moving. Open the windows to let in fresh air, and then briefly open all the taps in the bathroom and kitchen. Then you should turn on the lights in each room, turn on any pleasant music and put on the kettle to drink tea for the first time in the new house.
housewarming tips
Our ancestors arranged two housewarming holidays. The first was a festive dinner for all the residents of the new house, and the second was already inviting guests and accepting gifts.
The first celebration is now celebrated quite simply - they prepare several relatively simple dishes in advance and immediately after settling into a new living space, champagne is opened. Sometimes relatives and friends who helped with the move also participate in this small festive lunch or dinner. After the celebration is over, they usually treat the brownie to what was on the table. Do not forget that he does not like meat and eggs.
In a few days, when all issues related to the arrangement of a new apartment are resolved, it is already possible to invite guests and arrange a housewarming feast. Why is this necessary in terms of signs? The fact is that cheerful gatherings with friends and relatives attract positive energy to the house. It is especially good if children's laughter sounds in your house during housewarming.
If during the housewarming celebration guests sit down at a rich and generous table, it means that people in this house will always be in abundance. A beautifully decorated table with a clean tablecloth and "ceremonial" dishes portends. At the table, they only talk about pleasant things, do not discuss things and phenomena of a negative nature.
In the center of the table, a towel with red and green flowers embroidery is usually placed, and a housewarming loaf is placed on it. It is decorated with sprigs of mountain ash, viburnum or other berries that grow in your region.
Each guest must throw a coin over the threshold, inside the house. This rain of money attracts the energy of gaining material wealth and career growth. Well, if the owners of the house fall under it.
When the invitees go home, instead of saying goodbye, they need to say these words:
Peace to your home!
Try not to turn housewarming into a banal booze, it will not bring anything good. Take a tour of the new house, share your experience of repairing and buying furniture, arrange dances and hold interesting contests for your friends. Do not forget about kind words and that the time should pass as pleasantly as possible for you and your guests.
What to give for housewarming - signs
Guests usually come with gifts. Signs agree on what to give for a housewarming - almost everything except money. Of course, you might think that newcomers need to do a lot of shopping for the house, spending money on repairs and other needs. But if you give money instead of a gift, you can call need into the house.
Sharp objects are unwanted gifts. As in all other cases, for example, when receiving such a birthday present, you should give the giver a few coins in return. It is also not customary to give watches and mirrors.
There are also things perfect for a housewarming gift. In the past, spoons, mugs and pots were given with the wishes of satiety and prosperity. Now a service, a set of glasses, pots or pans, or kitchen appliances - a blender or a food processor, would be more appropriate.
Tables were given with the same wishes in the old days. It is not necessary to give a dining table, you can give a small coffee table or even a special table for breakfast in bed.
A good gift for new settlers is a horseshoe. If you choose a stylishly designed one, then it will become not only a talisman that attracts good luck, but also an original decoration of the hallway.
Our ancestors gave sheep wool with the wishes of wealth. Now you can give blankets, blankets and pillows - good analogues of natural sheep wool. But it is undesirable to give bed linen, it is believed that only those who will sleep on it should choose it. Fire symbolizes warmth and wealth, which makes heaters, electronic fireplaces, lamps and candles good options for presenting to newcomers.
Moving for any person is a very important event. A lot of people are worried about how it will pass, whether they have chosen the right home, and whether they are in for any surprises when they move into a new apartment.
Most expect happy changes in the future from life, but some are afraid to break its usual course. Leaving the house where generations of their relatives lived, they are afraid of losing their luck.
In a new home, it is necessary to capture from the old apartment all the most beloved and expensive. Here, from the first day, very beautiful music should sound, the best carpets should lie on the floor, and the furniture should be put up as new as possible. Immediately after entering, it is advisable to sit down at the table and taste delicious dishes in order to create a great mood that will forever settle in this house.
The vast majority of people use various rituals for such an event.
Carrying out rituals when moving to a new apartment was considered mandatory. There are a large number of signs indicating which day will be successful for such a decision, and at what time it is better to postpone the chores. If everything is done correctly, then happiness will not leave the house, the family will be strong, and friends will always sit at the table.
Do not forget about rituals and signs, because they are very important for a person to feel good in a new home.
Various rituals have always become very effective. The most common, still used today, was the consecration of the premises and the sprinkling of holy water on it. An apartment inhabited by the previous owners may contain traces of someone else's negative energy, unkind thoughts, illnesses or deaths. Therefore, it should be cleansed of it.
The rite is very simple. For him, you need to purchase a candle in the Church and stock up on holy water. After moving, it is necessary to spray all the walls and corners in the house with it three times.
Then, with a candle in hand, you need to go around all the rooms at least three times. It should be thoroughly cleaned in advance, the floors washed and the curtains washed. If you sweep away the rubbish and clean the walls, then the evil energy will also be removed. Therefore, it is advisable to simultaneously repeat the words of a prayer or mentally drive away all the bad things from the apartment.
The ceremony of moving to a new home should contain all the necessary steps:
- You have to get up very early;
- then soak the flour;
- after that it is required to persuade the Brownie to follow the owners;
- it is worth thanking the old dwelling from the bottom of our hearts;
- it is desirable to enter the new with a feeling of joy.
In order for old troubles not to migrate with the owners to another house, it is necessary to throw away all broken things, old unusable clothes and worn-out shoes. The only exception is relics that are passed down from generation to generation, or are a good memory of some event.
How to enter a new room
According to an old tradition, the cat crosses the threshold first. He must do it himself. You can't push it or bring it in by hand. Only after he has entered the door and walked around the house do people come in.
You need to enter the apartment, starting with the oldest member of the family, and ending with the youngest.
The one who crosses the threshold first must carry the flower pot on outstretched arms so that the plant is in the room before the person. Then it will collect all the negative energy of the home.
You should enter very carefully, without stumbling, because such an incident is a very bad omen.
When entering a new room, each family member should think of something special. On such a day, all wishes come true.
Entering a new apartment, you need to put three coins of great denomination under the threshold so that well-being never leaves the house.
After the youngest has entered, the mother should pour more salt outside the door. This is done in order to create an insurmountable obstacle for evil spirits. Other family members simultaneously hang icons and amulets on the walls.
Settling in a new house
It is advisable not only to sprinkle, but also to wipe all vertical and horizontal surfaces with holy water. In this way, they finally consolidate their presence in the home.
It is necessary to lay out things for moving so that the table is brought into the house first of all. Such a sign is very important, because the faster food is cooked in a new place, the richer and happier life will become in it.
Men and older children should arrange things, and the mother and younger children at this time will prepare refreshments for all those gathered.
The first night in a new apartment is very important. In order to spend it calmly, you need not be too lazy and deliver all things to it.
A nightgown or pajamas must be worn and have the smell of an old home. If, for some reason, it is not possible to stay to sleep in the house, then you should put your night clothes there on the unfolded bed.
Before you go to bed, be sure to tidy up and, to the best of your ability, put all the faults in order. If possible, the first day in a new home is best spent after a complete renovation of the premises.
It is advisable to invite the best friends and dearest relatives to help with moving and to celebrate the event.
What are the best days to move
Many people cannot decide which day is best to move.
There are many signs for such an event:
- The first days of the week do not favor him. Those who still decide on this risk falling into a long series of failures;
- Tuesday will be a very successful move. Happiness will forever enter the new home;
- on Wednesday it is better to refrain from settling in an apartment. There is a belief that then the shelter will become temporary, and friends will not take root in it;
- Thursday is a good time to move. All difficulties that arose on this day will be safely resolved;
And the second half of the week:
- on Friday it is better to stay in the same house, otherwise a person will face numerous sorrows and troubles;
- Saturday is considered the most prosperous time for moving, since even the most daring ideas are realized during such a period;
- Sunday is quite suitable for the implementation of plans, but it is better to devote such a time to rest.
Therefore, on which days it is preferable to change housing, a person must decide for himself.
It is also important to consider the phases of the moon. On the full moon and new moon, moving should be taken extremely seriously.
A good omen is the appearance of a new moon in the sky. Everything that is done at this time is simply doomed to success. Therefore, very often various rituals and conspiracies are held on such a day. However, such a period is not very suitable for changing a home.
And on the full moon, the new house will become a place of rare material well-being. Family happiness will never leave him, and children's laughter will sound here all the time. Everyday difficulties will also bypass him.
Therefore, in order not to lose joy and vitality, you need to choose the right days for moving.
The weather is of great importance for this:
- Leaving the old house during the rain has always been considered the key to success. Water is a very powerful substance that can wash away any heaviest bunch of negative energy. Thus, all past troubles will remain in the former dwelling, and a person will enter a new apartment completely cleansed;
- if a rainbow is visible in the sky, it is a very good omen. A move made on such a day promises a lot of happiness and joy in the future. In addition, this sign indicates that the new home has been chosen correctly;
- but if a thunderstorm broke out on the street, then such a sign becomes a very unkind harbinger. Such an event indicates that the house will become a place of constant contention. It is also believed that higher powers warn that it is not too late to completely abandon the move.
Conspiracy to appease Brownie
But now the change of housing has taken place and the first thing to do is to appease the Brownie.
For such a ritual, it is desirable to have:
- Flowers in a pot;
- new broom;
- tablecloth for dining table;
- everything you need to cook porridge;
- Matchbox;
- a pack of salt;
- kneaded dough;
- plate;
- a candle;
- personal amulet;
- green branch;
- cloves;
- hammer.
We kindle our fire
We settle our Rod in a new apartment.
We put fresh Zhito on the table
So that prosperity in housing comes to us.
We hang our talisman-amulet
From the evil eye and damage, illness and trouble
We say to Domovoy
Moving to a new home is a very significant event in a person's life. Each of us wants to live in a new place happily ever after.
In moments of joy, it is especially important not to forget the rules of moving to a new home.
What do folk omens say?
There are a large number of signs about moving to a new house, which have been known since ancient times. Which for example?
House consecration. Be sure to invite a priest to bless the house before you move in. Let the candle burn in the house for a while. Read the prayer "Our Father". A consecrated house is considered blessed by God.
Icon and bread with salt. Never enter a new home empty-handed.
Proper moving day. Sunday, Thursday or Friday are the most favorable days for moving. Luck, love and prosperity will smile at you in a new home. Also, the move should be carried out on the growing moon or on the full moon. This will bring prosperity to your home.
Moving a kitten to a new home. Everyone knows that the cat should be the first to cross the threshold of the house, preferably black, with a calm and affectionate disposition. People believed that the cat would take all the negative energy onto itself. The most important thing is not to force the cat through. Everything should go according to the desire of the animal. After the cat enters, you can go to the rest. Where the cat first falls asleep, you need to put a bed. This place will be favorable for sleep.
If the cat still refuses to enter the house, you should seriously think about it. Perhaps this house is not your castle.
An old broom - to a new house. With the help of an old broom they lure and take a brownie with them. It is believed that he must be in the house to protect and protect you from dangers. Upon arrival at a new home, treat the brownie with milk. Place an old broom behind the front door with the handle down. He will protect you from ill-wishers.
metal horseshoe, which must be attached to the front door "horns up" - for happiness and good luck. If you hang a horseshoe "horns down", then all well-being will go away.
silver coins, thrown on the floor in a new house will bring wealth to its residents. 3 coins under the rug near the house, left there forever, will not be superfluous.
Neutralization of negative energy. House cleaning will help you with this. Tidy up so that the windows, floor and everything else shine with cleanliness. Get rid of dust and debris.
Herbs from evil spirits. Protection will be a bunch of dry herb St. John's wort, celandine or thistle, placed in the corner of the house.
Housewarming. Of great importance is an organized meal in honor of moving to a new home. Do not be stingy when laying the festive table. Also, don't forget to invite your family and neighbors.
Ancient customs. For or against
Folk signs are, of course, good, but what about us, modern people who are always fussing, in a hurry somewhere? Sometimes, you don’t even remember the old customs. So the question arises, should they be carried out?
Undoubtedly, this is everyone's business. Some people consider everything to be ordinary superstition, turn a blind eye to it and go boldly through life, others do everything to the smallest detail in order to be calm and not torment themselves for irresponsibility for the rest of their lives.
Of course, it is important to know what are the customs of moving to a new home, but there is no need to blindly copy them. Much in our present world is already outdated and is not as important as before. Therefore, follow your worldview, but still look into the past from the corner of your eye.
Finally, remember, changing the house, we change our destiny. Know the customs of moving to a new home, and it is up to you to follow them or not.
“The Russian move is pointless and merciless,” my friend stated, trying to cram three ficuses, a half-sleeping bed and a cage with a hamster into one Daewoo Matiz. However, turning a move from a natural disaster into a glorious victory over chaos is not so difficult.
It's good to be a kitty, it's good to be a dog... a wandering monk, a street musician, a gypsy Aza and someone else, just as delightfully homeless... that is, free. Move - I don't want to!
No bales, pots and antique dumplings for you, I took a knapsack, girded myself and went (kisa and the dog in this regard are generally raspberries).
Of course, even in a secular society, some manage to flutter around rented apartments for years without acquiring unnecessary things, oversized household appliances, pets and flowers in tubs. But we, what are we to do? Ordinary mortals who fell under the influence of the consumer society? There is only one thing left: the system.
Preliminary valuation of property upon moving
The very first thing is to carefully examine and determine what and in what order you will prepare for the move. Namely:
carefully shake all the cupboards, pantries and mezzanines and throw away everything that you definitely don’t need anymore: cups with chips, filings of scanwords, memorable notes that have been gathering dust in the closet since the third year, half-dead indoor plants and broken gadgets - it is necessary to get rid of the rubbish BEFORE moving, and not in the process, and certainly not after.
Make a list of things that you pack first: warm clothes and shoes in summer, as well as things that you rarely use.
Take care in advance to find a professional carrier, rely on the fact that friends in a sedan can handle things in two or three calls, you should be careful: these same two or three calls through busy city traffic can easily stretch for a whole day.
Bulky things do not fit in the passenger car, and volunteers often fail. Custom "Gazelle" will not cost too much, but it will save your nerves and time, moreover, two or four loaders are usually attached to the car.
The best option for moving around Moscow with an average amount of things, as practice shows, is one truck plus one passenger car, in which you can put all the most valuable things. The most important thing is yourself.
How to properly pack
We put together what is left after the general cleaning. Have you used the plastic film wrapping service at the airport that protects bags and suitcases? This film is sold in building markets and is inexpensive. A few meters - and the transportation of a double mattress is no longer a nightmare.
It's hard to believe, but "pimple" cellophane was invented not to burst bubbles on it, but for cases when it is necessary to protect household appliances and hard furniture from damage. It is also useful for packing dishes (if you are too lazy to pack each plate, put them in piles and wrap them in polyethylene).
Soft things (clothing, bags, blankets) seal in vacuum bags. An option is ordinary garbage bags: pack, release the air and carefully wrap each bag with tape.
Transport flowers in pots in cardboard boxes. You can buy them, or you can get them for free in a stall near the house: for your favorite customers, helpful sellers will not regret it. We continue to master the science of how to move to a new apartment.
Small boxes with the same type of cargo, such as shoes, are more convenient to load by packing in one large box. And in large boxes you can load individual bags with clothes, towels and blankets.
After disassembling the furniture, put the screws and dowels in your purse (or cosmetic bag). It is better to sort the cogs - separately from the bed, separately from the computer table. Take your handbag in your "hand luggage" - then in a new place you will quickly assemble the furniture again. In order not to accidentally put the refrigerator on top of a fragile Chinese service, be sure to sign the boxes.
In what order to ship things
Usually, experienced movers know in what order to load things when moving and put them in the car, but control will not hurt. First of all, we load dimensional things. When transporting, you should get a kind of pyramid, at the base of which is the heaviest and most stable, and on top are light trifles.
Do not transport plants and fragile things in a truck, it is better to load boxes and packages with them into a passenger car. Leave an empty bag (the size of a sports bag) on the day of the move. In it you will pack the essentials: cosmetics, hair dryer, bath accessories and home clothes.
Firm selection
Interview your friends: everyone moves, which means that someone may have a phone number of a reliable company. It’s good if furniture assemblers and packers work in their staff, and there is a clear price list for each service. Be sure to find out how the payment for services takes place, whether the company issues checks, whether it concludes a contract. Do not be lazy to "break through" on forums and blogs reviews about the activities of the company.
Leave open household chemicals to new owners or neighbors. A half-empty bottle can leak and ruin things. Bored things and furniture - if the owners do not mind. It might be useful for new tenants. I also eat from the refrigerator - even if you have 20 kg of dumplings and a case of soda. Dumplings will defrost, and soda can explode from rolling. Invite friends before moving: they will help to capitalize stocks.
clean up after yourself
The house after the removal of things is like a dirty orphan. Taking care of him is a good tone and a good omen. And therefore: collect scraps of packaging, pieces of paper and vials from under valerian; walk around the apartment with a vacuum cleaner (do not pack it first!); wipe the stove, window sills and tables with a damp cloth; turn off the water pipes and gas.
Leave receipts for payment for services, documents for the equipment that remains, keys and something from yourself, such as a box of chocolates, if your communication was pleasant.

An important sign when moving, especially if you move into an apartment after the old owners, is getting rid of the negative energy accumulated there. To do this, it is very important to do a general cleaning immediately after the move, thoroughly washing the floors, wiping the dust in all places.
We also know from our grandmothers that in a new house a horseshoe can be hung over the front door, this should be done with the horns down. This sign is connected with the fact that happiness and prosperity reigned in a new apartment or house.
But from evil forces and evil spirits in the old days, bunches of St. John's wort were hung in houses - this is the so-called amulet.
The sign, according to which, when moving, you should be the first to let a cat into the house will help your new home become hospitable. Therefore, they say that the cat should come in by itself, it is enough just to put it at the door. In general, a lot of signs and even superstitions are associated with a cat. Some look closely at her behavior in a new place, remember the places that she has chosen. For example, in the place where the cat fell asleep for the first time, they put a bed. But this is not always correct, because the bed is located according to the principles of Feng Shui in the bedroom, and according to other signs. Well, what if the cat fell asleep in the kitchen or in the bathroom? Of course, you won't sleep there!
1. Try to drive into the full moon. If this succeeded, then let the cat into the house first (if any) and say three times: "As a full month, so life in the house would be complete."
2. If everything was fine in your old apartment, then say three times in the old place and three times in the new one: "Grandfather-neighbor, let's go to the apartment with us. Look after, settle, put to sleep, drink, feed, drive home."
3. If you have already moved in, but did not take the old brownie to a new house: on any three days (in a row) of the new moon, when you can see the young month, you need to open the window and shout (it is very desirable to shout): "Grandfather brownie, come home. Go to live with us, we will love you."
4. The first slice of bread cut off at the first dinner in the new house (not suitable for apartment residents) must be buried in the ground, in the right corner under the house, saying: “Feeder, feeder, come to the new bread house here to eat and listen to the young owners. "
5. If you have a basin, basket, etc. where you put your laundry before washing and it serves you for this purpose for at least 3 months, then you can bring it into the house three times and say: “As (basin, goat or ...) collects a lot of laundry, so let my house collect wealth. "
How to take your brownie from the old to the new apartment
It is unlikely that today many people pay attention to this fad, but in the old days they didn’t squeeze it into a new dwelling without a brownie at all - they had to lure it with them by any means.
In general, a brownie is your friend and buddy, who not only protects the house from trouble, but also takes care of the household. And when you are friends with him, you probably noticed that you live well. Therefore, it is important to take your friend, the brownie, to your new apartment when moving. The easiest way to do this is to place a box at the front door after collecting your things, in which soft things will be folded, and then leave it for at least 10-15 minutes. Your brownie will definitely climb into this box and go with you. And some beliefs convince us that in order to move along with your brownie, it is enough to grab a broom from the old apartment.
One way or another, but after arrival it is necessary to let the brownie in. Place the same box at the entrance and open it. Then pour milk into a saucer and place it on the floor. The brownie will certainly go to feast from your caring hands, especially since he could get hungry on the road.
There are, of course, whole rites that can be performed, but they are best used in more serious cases. For example, if you had a miserable life in your old place, or you moved into a bad place, etc. Or you have problems in relation to family ties, etc. Situations are different, everything is determined on a case-by-case basis.
And do not forget when selling any of your real estate, whether it is a house, apartment, retail outlet, shop, etc. take the brownie with you if things were going well for you there. And also treat your housewives. Leave milk, gingerbread, sweets. It is best to allocate a place near the stove, if this is not possible, then put it higher, but in the kitchen. If the treat begins to eat the animal - do not interfere, let him eat.
Folk signs are a great help for those who want to create a calm atmosphere in their new home. Any ritual is a game: it is important to follow certain rules here, but improvisation is not forbidden!
First guests
The safety of the home was "checked" by animals. The "pioneers" were not cats, but roosters. They were let into the courtyard to scare away evil forces. The cat came second - they let her into the house for comfort and warm winters. The dog was trusted to find places with positive energy - where it lay down, they put a bed. And only after these rituals did people enter the house.
Ball of happiness
Another ritual required dexterity from the new settlers. When opening the door to a new house, it was necessary to throw a ball of thread into the hallway, holding on to the very tip. The "guiding thread", as in fairy tales and epics, helped to master a new space, make it safe and predictable. This was helped by items from the old house - a handful of garbage, fire, a loaf of bread.
Brownie and homeliness
Calling a brownie from an old home to a new one is one of the favorite rituals of our great-grandmothers. To do this, they took an old bast shoe and left treats in it the night before a housewarming party. At the same time, the women asked the brownie not to leave them, to take care of housing, cattle and the owners themselves.
The next morning, the brownie was loudly invited to the new house. An old broom or broom was brought from the former dwelling - it was believed that it was under them that good spirits lived. In the evening, a feast was arranged in the new house - for the brownie, his friends and household.
Leafing through the calendar
For our great-grandmothers, the success of the move was determined by many details. They moved to a new house on a certain day - certainly before the full moon. The full moon was considered a symbol of fertility and promised a "full cup".
Shield and sword
Sometimes the dwelling had to be cleared of someone else's negative energy. To do this, they took a candle consecrated in the church or a sprig of St. John's wort. The ritual began from the front door - the new settlers moved in a circle, imagining a happy life in the house.
Having passed the circle, they turned to face the front door and presented a strong shield. It was believed that now he will protect the house from misfortune.
Later, the shield began to be "painted" in different colors. White or silver attracted good helpers and good people to the house. The golden shield brought wealth. A red or pink shield promised love and large families. The blue color was chosen by those who wanted good luck in trading. The green shield meant the health of all households.
Two housewarmings
One housewarming party will not bring happiness for everyone, the ancestors believed. And they had two holidays. The first, modest - for family members. The second, sweeping, for friends, relatives and neighbors. Each guest carried a treat - so that the table in the new house would always burst with food, and the owners would live long and merrily.
Childbirth and weddings
The magic of purity
Clutter is not the best companion for new settlers. The old house was cleaned and washed before leaving - this protected the owners from damage and the evil eye. In the first year of life in a new place, broken dishes were thrown away without hesitation. It was believed that she "does not let" happiness into the house.

Signs when moving to a new apartment should be considered during this important event. Many people don't even remember them. They will not require much time, but their consequences will have a beneficial effect on your new home. You will live more comfortably and calmly. We will remind you of these simple actions.
- It is necessary to properly say goodbye to the old housing. It is important to thank him for the years he lived within its walls and show him due respect. Before you leave it forever, put things in order there. Wash floors, windows, and everything you can. On boxes and other packaging for things you need to draw crosses. This will serve as their protection against loss during the move.

Ritual of farewell to old housing
On the eve of the move, you need to cook a pie and eat it all with the household in the old apartment. You can't take leftovers with you. If life was not easy for you there, make the cake salty. With a good life - it should be sweet.
Signs and rituals for housewarming
- There is a rule - when moving to a new home, you need to take with you a brownie who has lived with you for many years.
- There are several options for this. One of them is to do an action with a broom from an old apartment. Just take it with you when you move. Thus, your spirit of the house and his and the protector will also move to a new home. If there was no broom in the household, proceed as follows. Take a small box and put some soft things in it, you can stuff it with scraps of fabric. Put her for a while at the front door and the brownie will “settle in her. Take the box with you and you can be sure that the brownie has also moved.
- During the move, at the entrance to a new apartment, the cat must be the first to let it in. The place he chooses to stay is the most suitable place for a bed. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account that the cat meets the requirements of this folk sign. He must be a cat, not a cat. But the thing is, not everyone has cats. In this case, it is not recommended to use a dog instead of a cat. It serves to protect housing and should not be the first to cross the threshold. The dog should enter the new apartment last. It is not necessary for anyone to pass ahead of the cat. Wait until he gets comfortable and dares to enter anyway. Behind him come all the other newcomers.
- Following this, immediately “feed” the brownie. You can put a container of milk. This is done so that he does not consider you greedy and does not go to live with other more generous owners. After that, you can proceed to wet cleaning and parsing things.
- Wet cleaning is an important ritual when moving. It must be done in all areas of the apartment. This does not depend on the cleanliness of the home. Even if it's perfectly clean. This saves the home from bad energy. She might have gathered in it before you moved in.
- When entering a new dwelling, scatter coins on the floor. It would be better if they were made of precious metal. This ritual will attract material well-being to the house.
- Get a new broom, horseshoe and St. John's wort in advance. Put the broom in the corner at the front door, and above it, strengthen the horseshoe with the horns down. Grass in bags can be hung in several secluded places. Such a kit will help protect the apartment from an unclean spirit and ill-wishers.

Signs of moving in our time, hardly anyone remembers, not to mention their observance. But our ancestors took this step very seriously and collected knowledge about the move literally bit by bit. Now this knowledge is called signs and it is very necessary to know them in order to live in a new place in joy, prosperity and prosperity.
Do you know, for example, why very often various bunches of herbs are hung in the corners of village houses? No, this is not only a universal drying method. It is also a sign of moving. When moving to a new house, bundles of St. John's wort were hung in the corners in order to neutralize the negative energy . But that is not all. According to the centuries-old experience of our distant ancestors, when moving, you must:
1. take the brownie with you. Well, everyone has heard about the brownie. So, the one who lived side by side with you for so long should definitely be taken with you to a new place of residence. It is very easy to do this. It is necessary to sweep the floors in the old house before leaving and take this broom with you. And in a new apartment or house, also sweep the floors with the same old broom. Such manipulation is a guarantee that the brownie moved with you. Do not forget to treat the brownie with milk in a new place.
And if there is no broom in the house (and why is it in times of high technology, especially there are robotic vacuum cleaners), there is a way out anyway. Take any empty box, fill it with something soft (foam rubber, soft scraps of fabric) and leave it near the threshold for a while. In this box, he will move with you.
2. Everyone knows that the cat should enter the house first. It's a cat, not a cat. And, if you follow the sign correctly, then the cat must certainly be black. This sign of moving has pagan roots, when, according to customs, the oldest member of the family was supposed to enter the new house. Previously, several generations lived in the same house, and if there was a move, the right to enter the new house first was given to the oldest. It is not difficult to guess that he was the first and died there. Therefore, in order to neutralize this "rock" the oldest was replaced by a cat. After all, cats get along well in this world, and “get along” with the other world, which means that nothing will happen to them.
3. As soon as all the furniture and boxes with things are brought into the new house, it is necessary to cleanse the home of someone else's energy, which is not always positive. To do this, the house must be cleaned: wash the windows and floors. IN plain water for cleaning, you can add a little holy to enhance the cleansing effect. You can also walk through all the rooms of the new dwelling with a lit church candle, while reading the prayer "Our Father". In the old days they "smoked" the room with lavender.
4. To attract well-being above the threshold, hang the horseshoe talisman with the horns down. And so that bad people bypass the house, put a knife under the path at the threshold.
5. If you want to live in abundance in a new house, before the first entrance (after the cat), throw a few silver coins over the threshold (precisely silver), then money fountain won't run out. And, leaving the old one, leave a small amount at home (ordinary, not silver money) for other owners. Then you will live in abundance and provide the same to the new tenants of your old apartment.
6. Be sure to arrange a housewarming party. But by all means, first a housewarming party, and then disassembling the boxes and arranging the interior. Let there be as many children as possible among the invitees. According to the children's sign of moving, sincere laughter attracts positive energy to the house. Do not skimp on treats, then there will always be a full table.
7. Although the move promises big expenses, nevertheless somehow warn those who are invited to the housewarming party not to give gifts with money (although it is convenient now), but it is beneficial for newcomers. You can directly say that they wanted to receive as a gift for arranging a new place of residence. The donated money indicates that you need it, and the need will linger for a long time.
8. The best day of the move is Saturday, and the most favorable when it snows outside the window promises wealth.
Previously, even in a new house, a rooster was left for the night, it was believed that the morning crowing of a rooster would finally disperse evil spirits and life in a new house would be happy.
