Does a brownie exist, what does it look like, where does it live in a house or apartment? How to find out if there is a brownie in the house: signs of presence. Brownie is our caring neighbor

Since ancient times, people believed that the house was guarded by a certain creature, which we call a brownie. This is the owner who protects the energy of the house, looks after it and sometimes reveals his presence, which can frighten some household members.

Many people feel the presence of evil forces in the house - then the house becomes uncomfortable, they don’t want to go into it, and frequent quarrels occur. It is a mistake to call an evil spirit a brownie. This is an evil entity that needs to be exorcised. A brownie cannot cause serious harm.

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

Does a brownie exist?

You need to immediately understand that a brownie is not a person, not an animal, or even any creature with a physical shell. He is an esoteric, astral creation.

The existence of the brownie has not been proven by scientists. It is not assigned to any of the existing types of living beings and is not allocated to a new one. All photos in which the keeper of the house is supposedly 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, thereby convincing himself and others that this creature does not exist.

One version: a brownie is a good spirit that protects a house or apartment.

But our ancestors believed that in every house there lives a guardian spirit, a mystical creature who, if treated well, protects the home itself and everyone who lives in it. The Slavs called the brownie the kutny god (from Ukrainian “kut” - corner).

• They respected the brownie, tried to appease him, and left him toys and food.
• He could even have his own corner and sleeping place.
• And no one was surprised by the tips and warnings that the brownie gave to people, and sometimes by his pranks.
• He was the patron of the home, protected it from fires and criminal attacks, and gave health and a prosperous life to the family living in it.
• He looked after the brownie and livestock and pets.
• And he became reckless only when his household treated him badly.

IMPORTANT: The brownie was considered a member of the family, and sometimes its head. It was not for nothing that he was called “master”, “uncle”, “grandfather”, “brother”.

Origin of the brownie

There is such 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, as punishment he cast him out of 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 remained on earth in the guise of earthly evil spirits familiar to us - such as merman, mermaids, kikimoras, goblins...

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

1. According to Belarusian legends, a brownie hatches from an egg laid by a rooster. After which you need to carry this egg under your armpit and always on the left side for six months without taking it off - after which the “little brownie snake” hatches.
2. According to one of the beliefs, there was an opinion that house spirits were people who died without communion.
3. There is a less common version that a brownie can become a creature that was accidentally or intentionally destroyed in a house during its construction.

There were opinions according to which any creature that was measured by a house builder, 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 previous distinctive features, for example, meowed and scratched if it was a cat that was measured , and so on.

What does science think about this?

From a scientific point of view, the existence of a house spirit has not been proven. The vast majority of scientists are skeptical about 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 were not in the funeral service. Having a huge number of sins behind them that have not been forgiven, they are not able to leave the world of the living, so they are forced to settle where their relatives live.

A less popular version goes like this. The brownie is the soul of a woman who practiced black magic during her life, and after death became entangled with the devil himself.

What does a brownie look like?

• If you ask a child what a brownie looks like, he will most likely describe the type of character from the famous cartoon “Kuzya the Brownie.”
• In the minds of adults, this is an old man in large 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 room or pantry.

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

He can appear before people in the following qualities:

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

Some home owners claim that they have seen the brownie as a very cute and fluffy creature. Others say that it is something thin. In many ways, the appearance of the hearth keeper depends on how his owners look (the owners of the house/apartment in which he lives).

If people don’t take care of their own home, don’t clean it, there is chaos everywhere, then the brownie has to fulfill all household obligations for them, so he loses weight and looks unkempt.

Indeed, if there is “age-old dust” on the shelves, then how can you be well-groomed and clean. Today, almost everyone has advanced gadgets with which they take a wide variety of pictures. Therefore, the brownie appears before the public, sometimes in the form of light, sometimes in the form of shadow. It is difficult to say how true a photo or video may be.

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

Is a brownie in the house good or bad?

So, the brownie lives in the house. Is this for worse or for good? After all, some advise to cajole him, feed and entertain him, while others advise him to drive him out, survive, and perform a cleansing ritual.

If a person is deeply religious, he will never want to cohabit with an unclean woman, much less please her. But most of us rarely distinguish between religious dogmas, beliefs, and signs. For such people, 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
• keeps the house clean
• creates comfort
• indicates malfunction of household appliances
• plays with small children and pets
• warns of troubles, gives signs
• attracts material well-being

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

1. If a brownie causes mischief, breaks or scatters things, makes noise, scares the household, this does not mean that he is bad. The main food of this creature is not milk with bread or cookies, as many people think, but the energy coming from family members.
2. If they are sloppy, quarrel among themselves, and angry towards others, the house elf becomes the same.
3. In order for him to turn from a dirty trickster into a guardian again, you need to change your behavior and try to make friends with him.

Where do brownies come from in new houses?

Ideas about where brownies in homes come from vary greatly.

1. According to one of them, the deceased owner of the house or the one who built it becomes a housewife.
2. According to another, God himself sends brownies to decent people, strong families, and good owners as a reward.
3. Experts in paranormal phenomena believe that home appears in a lived-in 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 summoned through special rituals. A family that is moving from an old place and wants to remove the owner from there may try to take him with them. But this is extremely difficult to do, since the brownie is a sedentary creature, and once it has chosen a home, it is unlikely to leave it.
5. If not the whole family moves, but only one of its members, the chance of taking 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 home - evil or good.

First variety

This is a brownie in its classical representation, which was known to our ancestors. That is, this creature is not from our world, whose goal is mutually beneficial coexistence with humans.

He protects the house and those who live in it from evil spirits and misfortune, 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 good, because it is in their 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 dead people working off their karma. There is no need to be afraid of them; they are usually very peaceful and have a positive attitude towards those in whose house they live. They are left by higher powers in the role of brownies if during their lifetime they paid too much or too little attention to their home and family.

• These are people obsessed with order, lazy in everyday life, and do not pay attention to children and parents.
• Their goal is to correct their mistakes, helping another family live happily and keep their 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 time at work and little time with his family can help you succeed. But at the same time, 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 their belonging to two different types.

Third variety

The third species cannot be called a brownie, but it is often mistaken for one, having an evil character and damaging the place in which it lives. These are entities of different 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 will do everything to ensure 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 acceptable to you.

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

General signs of the presence of a brownie

Table: signs of the presence and evidence of the existence of brownies in a residential area

Pet behavior	Cats, dogs and other pets see these mystical creatures. If an animal plays with someone invisible, wags its tail, caresses, it means a good brownie has settled in the house. If an animal shows aggression, barks, hisses, or hides in fear in a corner or under the bed, this is a sign that an evil spirit has settled in the apartment, wanting to evict the owners and harm them.

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

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

• If you don't have pets, but you hear footsteps at night that sound like a medium-sized dog, it's most likely a brownie.
• You should not be afraid of these sounds; they only mean that the spirit guarding the house is checking whether everything is safe in the territory under its control, and is busy with its other duties.
• This is evidenced by rustling, crackling and other night 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 begin to purr for no apparent reason, which means that the brownie is scratching them behind the ear. Sometimes they play together, because brownies, like young cats, love to play. From the outside it looks like the cat is chasing and playing with someone invisible. If the cat behaves strangely, and at the same time he is not scared and does not show aggression, there is definitely a good 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 or fear, then everything is in order. These entities also love children, especially infants. See if your child is hanging out with someone you don't see. It is believed that children can see brownies.

Brownies love to sort through dishes in the kitchen. If it rings for no apparent reason, it means you have a good spirit. He may steal candies and other sweets if you leave them in plain sight. Particularly prefers the essence of the candy without the wrappers. If she has kids, they may scatter your child's toys or rearrange them.

Signs

1. If you are not afraid to sleep in the dark in your home, it means that you subconsciously understand that someone cares about your safety. Some even clearly feel that there is some kind of entity that protects the house and its inhabitants.
2. Brownies, if treated well, can send good or prophetic dreams, drive away nightmares or wake you up during them, and also prevent you from oversleeping at the beginning of the working day.
3. They often tell you when guests will arrive or your family members will return to the house. Notice if you have a feeling before a knock on the 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, your family has good relationships, and even if a quarrel breaks out, everyone quickly calms down and adequately resolves the dispute. You should be friends with a good brownie, leave him treats and toys, and 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 there is an evil house spirit in the apartment

In principle, it is impossible to call an evil creature a brownie, but they are very often confused, so this 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 remain alone in the apartment, especially with the onset of darkness, which adds strength to dark creatures.

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

Perhaps you don't want to go home after a working day? Try to clear your apartment of negativity. It also influences the desire of friends and neighbors to come visit you. It is uncomfortable to be in an apartment whose residents live next to evil spirits; usually people want to quickly retreat to their own 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 show up, this does not mean that he did not come in an incorporeal form. But the brownie may not come at all. It happens that he simply left his 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 timid and unnecessary people will only doom the attempt to summon the entity to failure.

1. A brownie will never refuse a treat. Even in Ancient Rus', it was customary to offer him sweets, baked goods, milk or cheese.
2. During the week, before the ceremony, it is recommended to leave a saucer with treats in the corner of the kitchen.
3. Before the ritual, you need to lay out a white tablecloth and arrange all possible sweets. It could be sweets, cookies, lollipops or chocolate.
4. When the table is ready, you need to turn away, giving the brownie the opportunity to taste the prepared delicacy without embarrassing him.
5. Say the following text three times: “Grandfather, come to me for a treat!”

If a brownie dares to come, the person will understand this almost immediately. Quiet movements or stomping may be heard. But under no circumstances should you turn around and react, otherwise he will get scared and run for cover.

When a person calls the keeper of the hearth, it is most often due to the desire to ask him for something. There is no need to rush in this case. First, it takes time for the brownie to taste the prepared treat.

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

You should 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.

At the end of the ceremony, be sure to thank for your help. You can turn your face to the table only at the moment when the brownie is no longer there. Every other day, all leftover sweets must be buried under a mature tree not far from the house where 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 during the daytime, but during the day the brownie most often sleeps.

In order for the brownie to make contact, you first need to take care of him not only the day before, but throughout the entire time.

• You should always show respect to the brownie.
• Otherwise, he will begin to play pranks at night and even frighten his owners out of resentment.
• If you plan to move, then you should immediately provide him with treats to lure him to his new home.
• It is also important for the 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 stay in such a family.

Ritual with pencils

An alternative way to summon a brownie is not difficult. Pencils should be used as improvised means. However, it is worth remembering that calling a brownie is only worthwhile in extreme cases, when it is impossible to find a solution to a problem or problem on your own. The ritual can be used if the family has lived in an apartment or house for at least six years. Magicians, psychics and sorcerers recommend performing the ritual together with your spouse, but in no case with a blood relative.

1. Everyone must take three pencils and put them together so that they form a letter “P”.
2. Next we pronounce 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 received a call for help at home, he will definitely answer all 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.

To finish, 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 has left.

Ritual with spoons

• Another version of the ritual is performed using 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 lights in the room and arrange all the objects in a circle.
• We read the following words: “Come, come, master! If you come, unwrap any spoon and wrap it back.”

If you accept an invitation home, the calling person will certainly hear a rustling sound, but you cannot turn around. To understand whether 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 of your home

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

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

A missing note will mean that your request has been considered and you will receive a response as soon as possible. If the note you left 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 pointless.

Many sources, including the “Diary of a Brownie,” say that the old man living behind your stove cannot be bribed. You can only appease him. 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 give a few compliments.

If you are looking for a way to come to an agreement with the brownie, then it is possible that he will be very offended by you and will play pranks.

When the House Spirit Is Dangerous

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

For example, there are many stories of people complaining that they are being strangled at night. Fragile objects may also break, and strange and eerie sounds may be heard.

How to put up with a brownie

If it so happens that you have angered the spirit of the house, who is angry with you, causing harmony to completely disappear in the family, ask him for forgiveness. The brownie always returns kindness for kindness. 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

Table: ways to appease a brownie

Way	Description
Talk	Pay attention to the keeper of the house, talk to him more often, thank him for his help
Highlighting your own toys	Spirits love to play with toys and small objects, so they often “borrow” them for play from the owners of the house. Give him a separate box, put toys and jewelry in it. Tell him that from now on the box belongs to the brownie and ask him to play only with his things. The creature will be delighted with the gift and will stop “stealing” from the house
Congratulations	Always wish your brownie a happy birthday on January 28th. Give sweets as a gift: cookies, candies, honey
Separate dishes	The brownie is a full member of the family, so he must have his own saucer and cup

For many centuries, people have put a lot of effort into making friends with the brownie and making a good impression on him.

Making a good impression

• If you cannot achieve your goal, then you should expect pranks at night, and complete chaos will begin to reign in the house. Not a single guest will linger in such a home.
• However, if you treat the brownie with respect, honor him and spoil him with goodies from time to time, you can achieve his favor and then the brownie will be happy to help and protect the home.

The fact that the brownie is positive towards the living family can be understood if people began to find things that were lost many years ago.

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

There is no need to be afraid of the presence of a home keeper. It is important to know that if it makes itself 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 dissatisfaction. In order to appease a 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 homes there are not stoves everywhere, this could be the place behind the fireplace or the attic. It is worth noting that when moving in, many years ago, people specially set up a small place for the brownie, made a bed and placed a saucer with cookies or sweets.

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

If one of the family members committed a bad act 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 hears and does not punish the offender. However, words alone will not be enough; you will have to make up for your wrongdoing with good actions - fix something, tidy up.

Brownies love it when people interact with them on a positive note. It is important to remember that these are creatures that cannot read minds, so it is important to talk out loud so that they can hear everything. Also, you should not contact the brownie for selfish reasons; the brownie will still feel it and may react negatively.

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

What do brownies eat?

Spirits love to feast on:

• Cookies.
• Honey.
• Refined sugar.
• Jam.
• Sour cream.
• Milk.
• Sweets.
• Fresh baked goods.

House and pets

Many animals are very sensitive to the presence of brownie-type entities in the house. In first place, of course, are cats, then dogs. They are well felt by talking parrots and domestic rats. Decorative rabbits and snakes are completely insensitive to brownies.

And if dogs and parrots, by and large, don’t care about relationships with brownies, then cats and rats are very important. And your task is to help such different creatures find a common language.

Cats

Cats walk on their own, cats are creatures, to a large extent, not living in our world, and they communicate with brownies in their own language. Most often, their relationships are built on mutual independence and calm respect.

If suddenly you notice that your cat from time to time drags mice or pieces of sausage to a certain place in the house, it means that he has definitely made friends with the brownie and is trying to show him signs of attention in his own ways. Try not to disturb them, unless you can pet the cat.

• The opposite situation may be true. The cat will constantly hiss at one corner of the room or behind a closet, bristle its fur, raise its tail... in general, this means a conflict with the brownie. It can be solved simply. Cats are smart creatures and often try to copy the actions of people, although we don’t notice this - they do it in their own way. Just show him how you feed the brownie. Show it more than once, let the cat watch. Perhaps he will try to repeat this.
• If it doesn't work out, don't be upset. When playing with a cat at night (both the cat and the brownie are nocturnal creatures), unobtrusively and carefully lead 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 the moment may come when the brownie joins in the fun, for example, rolls out the cat’s favorite mouse or just a ball of thread from under the closet. Support the game and consider that contact has been established.

Rats

With domestic rats everything is much more complicated. If she doesn’t want to be friends, it may turn out to be an “either me or him” situation. And you won’t be able to help here; you’ll have to keep the rats in a cage and not release them into the brownie’s permanent habitat.

However, if they become friends, the positive effect of the brownie’s presence will increase many times over. Rats are very faithful and devoted creatures; they sense the emotional state of a person better than any other pets and can correct it. And even more so when paired with a brownie!

Wild rats do not get along with brownies. In a house where the brownie feels comfortable, rats, even if they live, do not bother the owners.

What does a weirdo do?

1. He helps manage the household, protects property from damage, theft and other troubles, primarily from fire. Sometimes they hear how he, sitting in the master's place, is engaged in the master's work, while none of this is visible.
2. The brownie not only performs the duties of the owner of the house, but also protects and cares for livestock. His main job is to inspect the farm.
3. The brownie sees every little thing, tirelessly cares and worries so that everything is in order and ready: he will help the hard worker, correct his mistake; he enjoys the offspring of domestic animals and birds; he does not tolerate unnecessary expenses and is angry with them - in a word, the brownie is inclined to work, thrifty and prudent.
4. He monitors the energetic cleanliness of the home. Unlike a person, he sees all the energy garbage scattered around the apartment, and this upsets him very much. The brownie gets dirty in it, his mood worsens. It can also clean out small energy debris from the apartment.

However, it is worth remembering: if you very often and very seriously clean your apartment energetically, then it is possible that by your actions you will drive your brownie out of the house.
When everything in the house is in order, clean and tidy, there is no energetic dirt, the brownie feels great. He loves such an owner and helps him in every possible way.

The brownie monitors the safety of things. In such a house, everything will work, dishes will not break and equipment will not break. He helps find missing things. To do this, you just need to ask him about it: “Master-father, help, tell me where this and that lies...”

• He also monitors small children and prevents various troubles. The brownie loves to appear to small children, who accept him as a big plush toy and tinker and play with him with all their hearts.
• The brownie plays with children with pleasure. If a brownie likes to fuss with your baby, this is a good sign. He will not only play with it, but also protect it from minor troubles - matches, scissors, etc.
• If a small child does not sleep well at night and is capricious, before putting the child to bed, put out a treat for the brownie and ask him: “Brownie, brownie! Calm my child!”

The brownie can wake up the owner in the morning if he has important things to do. It can remind you of forgotten things. Before leaving the house, he will always remind a good owner: turn off the lights, gas, water, iron, etc.

Brownie from evil forces

The brownie senses the approach of damage in advance.

If, for example, an unkind person with evil intentions and dark thoughts comes to visit you, then the brownie begins to worry. He tries to warn the owner. If the owner of the apartment does not hear the brownie’s whispers, then the latter will do anything to attract attention. An unkind guest may have a mug escape from his hands and break, spilling something on the tablecloth. Sometimes the dishes break at the hands of the owner - this is also a warning.

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

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

1. For example, he falls on the sleeping person during the night and presses him, so that at this time he cannot move or say a word.
2. Lie down calmly, regain your breath and mentally ask the brownie what he wants to say - good or bad: “For good or for bad?”
3. The answer will follow immediately - a dull voice will say “yes” or “no”.
4. If it's good, he'll pet you; if the hand is made of wool, 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 could be dreams, prophecies, signs, hints, knocks, or any images seen with peripheral vision.

If the brownie is naughty

If spoons, knives, wristwatches, etc. disappear in the house and you cannot find the missing item, then stand in the corner of the room and ask the brownie: “Brownie, brownie, play and give it back.” Search each room separately.

If he plays pranks too often, it means 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 a handkerchief, around the leg of a chair and say: “Brownie-grandfather, here’s your girlfriend, look at her, what did you take, return it.” If the Brownie lives well, he gets a wife - Domovikha and a child - Domovenok.

Folk signs

Since ancient times, people believed that if you live according to the laws of nature, respecting its patrons, then you don’t have to fear anything bad. It was believed that when moving to another house, you must call your 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 entire house counterclockwise. At the same time, it was necessary to pronounce the following spell: “Grandfather-neighbor, here is our sleigh for you, come live with us. There's a house there, brownie, come live with me. Lead your mistress as well as I can, I will reward you.”
• You need to walk around the apartment when all the furniture is taken out. You should be the last one to leave, locking the door.

And this is what our ancestors did when they wanted a good brownie to move with them to a new place: for housewarming they put one coin in the basement, 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, the top was cut off, salted and thrown behind the oven to treat their patron. There are many other folk signs associated with this creature:

1. If a brownie often strangles his owner at night, you need to invite a priest to the house so that he can bless him three times.
2. If the spirit of the home often plays pranks and bothers its charges, you need to put a handful of thyme in the pillow.
3. If the brownie does not love the owner, you need to bury the head or skull of the goat in front of the threshold of the house.
4. If in the morning the residents find bruises on their bodies, it means that the spirit does not like them and needs to be appeased.
5. If a creature strokes its owner with a warm and smooth hand, this is a sign of well-being, but if it is cold and rough, it is unlucky.
6. If someone you know is staying overnight in an apartment for the first time, you need to ask permission from the “owner” of the house. Otherwise, he will become angry and will not allow the person to rest at night, pushing and harassing him. And this despite the fact that no one has ever seen him and does not know what a brownie looks like. There is no photo of him. However, many claim that they felt causeless anxiety and excitement in such a situation.
7. Hearing the groans or howls of the patron of the house means the death of its owner.

(Kutny god) is the home spirit of the Slavs, the mythological owner and patron of the house. He promotes the well-being of the family, children and household members in everyday life, monitors the household, the condition of the house, and animals. He may even interfere in people’s relationships with each other, fall in love or hate someone living at home. Each brownie has his own character, his own quirks and characteristics. Our ancestors tried to establish contact with Domov - they invited him to a new house when they moved, and honored him on special days.

What does a real Brownie look like?

The Slavs believed that Domovoy was the founder of the family. The very appearance of Domovoy, as people imagined him, and sometimes saw him, if you believe the stories, reflected this.

My sister’s daughter is coming down from the street and sees an old woman coming down in red boots and a red fur coat. The beard is narrow and long.

In general, the Brownie was also considered the main owner of the home, which is why they said that he could take the form of the head of the family or its oldest member. Brownies often have wives, who are called Domovs. They also believed that Domakhs were Domovoi in female manifestation, the spirit mistresses of houses where only women lived.

How does a Brownie appear in a house or apartment?

Our ancestors believed that the Brownie lived in every house. There are brownies in apartments too. The brownie is most often invisible in the house, and appears only before some important event, usually in the evening or at night. Then people will find out what a real brownie looks like.

I’m sitting, pressing my back to the stove. A little man came in, a little off the floor, and said: “In three days the war will end.” The war ended three days later.

But more often than not, this household spirit is not seen, but its presence is felt: it can stroke a person’s hand or head, sometimes lean on and crush during sleep. It was rumored that such attacks by Domovoy foreshadowed the future.

It sometimes happens that if he is naked, naked like a person, it presses for bad, but if he is furry, like a cat, it presses for good.

Sometimes it was advised to ask Domovoy directly: whether his appearance was for good or for bad. The spirit can be quite aggressive - it will pinch until it bruises, and if such bruises are very painful, then this is also unfortunate. If the Brownie especially loves one of the family members or pets, he braids his hair or wool into peculiar “braids” - tangles that cannot be combed out. He cares for and cherishes the animals that he likes, but those that do not belong to the court begin to wither and get sick. In apartments and houses, the Brownie is also manifested by the fact that it makes various sounds and noises. The one who heard them can also judge future events in the family by their character.

You won’t find photos that show what Domovoi or Domovys look like, but we can quite imagine them from the stories. Sometimes this is a double of the owner or mistress, one of his friends and relatives. Sometimes they see a little old man, bearded and covered with fur. Moreover, they believed that the richer the household, the more shaggy the Brownie. They often transform into small wild or domestic animals: weasels, dogs, cats, snakes. But in any form, Domovoy’s fur matches the color of the hair of the owner of the house.

Where does Domovoy live?

The brownie lives in the red corner, on the stove, at the threshold, in the attic, underground - in a word, where he wants and where he will not be disturbed. It is often seen in outbuildings: a barn, a barn, sometimes even in a bathhouse. They didn’t put anything in the places where they believed the Domovoi lived, they didn’t go there themselves, otherwise you might feel a strong oppression at night or get sick.

When is Domovoi honored?

Domovoy has a special holiday: Winter Wonders, which mark 28 January. Then this household spirit is treated to porridge in order to appease it, otherwise it might commit mischief.

The brownie is one of the many spirits of Slavic myths and beliefs. Now, when interest in the traditions and customs of antiquity is growing, past stories and stories are once again coming to life in our minds. Our ancestors believed that everything in nature, around us, has its own soul, its own character. And knowing this fills life with special meaning.

In the old days, it was believed that in every home there is a real “owner”, whose name is brownie. He protects the owner’s family from harm, looks after the household, and helps in difficult times. But this creature can do harm. This happens if he is offended. Perhaps no one knows exactly what a brownie looks like. But many traditions and legends have reached 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, ponds and villages. Legends have survived to this day about the existence in every house, whether in the countryside or in the city, of brownies who took care of their owners and were the patrons of their homes. Such a creature was called differently: brownie, hutnik, golbeshnik, baker, grandfather-brother, gospodar, master, and so on. It all depends on where this mythical hero lives. The baker, of course, is found behind the stove, the barn-maker is in the barn, the bannik is in the bathhouse, and so on. Today we are thinking: “Does a brownie even exist?” And in the time of our great-grandmothers, absolutely everyone believed in him. It was believed that there is one in every family.

If the owners of the house move somewhere, they should definitely take their brownie with them. Otherwise, the family will be in trouble. There were people who claimed to have seen this creature. He appears before eyewitnesses in the form of a small, hairy old man. But perhaps no one knows what a brownie looks like in reality. After all, sometimes he can take the form of one of the pets. For example, our cat can fidget for a long time when we are cooking in the kitchen. Entering the room, you can find that Murka is sleeping peacefully on the sofa. “Who was it?” - 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 farm, then this creature also has a pleasant, well-groomed appearance. And if the owner is poor, drinks bitter drinks, has no wealth, then his brownie looks like a sickly creature in old rags. Rarely did anyone see him. The spirit appeared only on special occasions. 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. This is how the “owner” of the house warns his wards about the impending danger. In general, many legends and folk signs are associated with this creature. They will be discussed below.

Legends about the origin of the creature

The ancient Slavs believed that a brownie was none other than the firstborn of a family, its long-dead member, to whom the Lord gave the opportunity to atone for his earthly sins by serving his 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 invited the whole family to visit. But Adam did not want to lead all the children to God, but 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 children remaining in the house into spirits. They became good creatures, not related to evil spirits.” They also told about the origin of the brownies: “God was 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, becoming good helpers for him. Unlike their other relatives: kikimor, goblin, water and others. Our ancestors tried to imagine what a brownie looks like. He was depicted as a small, wrinkled old man with cheerful lively eyes and a large beard.

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

Golbeshnik from Northern Russian legends

In each locality of our vast homeland, the mythical owner of the house was represented in its own way. Residents of the northern region of Russia believed that in every family there lived a creature that no one could see. His name is Golbeshnik. Where does this strange name come from? It was believed that the spirit lived under the stove behind a partition (golbets) on the underground side. This creature is kind, takes care of the family's household, and often grumbles. But at the same time he does no harm to anyone. It was believed that if such a brownie is in a house, it means that its owners are protected from troubles and the machinations of bad people. But if another spirit, called gnetko, settled in the family, then misfortune could happen. This creature fell on a person during sleep in the form of a pet and strangled him. It could have ended disastrously: in the morning the relatives found the sleeping man dead. Therefore, they tried oppressively to “take” me out of the house. Real-life stories about brownies are like fairy tales. However, eyewitnesses claim that many phenomena in our apartments, those that cannot be explained from the point of view of common sense, occur due to the fault of the spirits living here. There were other types of brownie in the legends of western and northern villages: licker (licked the fur of livestock and the hair of small children), pasten (appeared in the form of a ghost on the walls of the house) and so on. Such diversity in the appearance of a home guardian is typical of the beliefs of this region of Russia.

On the character and “type 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 of the house is good or bad, and on how he relates to the spirits living in his home. If the owners care about the cleanliness of the rooms, the health of the livestock in the yard, and their material wealth, then this creature helps its charges in everything. What does the brownie do? He protects the house from thieves, warns of impending danger, and makes friends with the master's dog and horses. He often likes to play around with the latter, for example, braiding their manes. But if he dislikes any animal, he will torture it to death. Therefore, a far-sighted owner, when 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 loves to play pranks. A real brownie is a big joker. At night he potters around in the kitchen, rattling plates and cups. Sometimes it can break something or trample on it. The members of the household who are up are unlikely to catch the mischievous man doing his thing. They will only see fragments of broken dishes, dirt in the kitchen, bad writing on the wall, and so on. Or it may be that the housewife, who left the dough or milk on the stove to rise, turned away for just a minute, and the food was already on the floor. They say: “The brownie spoils him.” He loves cleanliness and order in the apartment. But lazy, greedy and unfair owners are often punished. And this is not done with pranks alone. A greedy owner will let thieves into his house. The unjust one will start a fire so that the owner will lose everything, and so on. But most of all the brownie doesn’t like it when people forget about him. If the owner does not honor the guardian spirits of his family, then these creatures begin to mischief and play pranks. To appease them, just leave a treat in a corner of the house or yard. They are not picky eaters. 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. She looks like a dwarf woman with a head the size of a thimble and a body as thin as a straw. It can live both in a house behind a stove (domestic), and in a field, forest, swamp (swamp or forest). Refers to evil spirits. If this is a domestic creature, then it often makes noise at night, disturbs the owners’ sleep, harms their livestock (usually chickens), and breaks dishes.

It's quite difficult to get rid of it. 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 a juniper belt around the salt shaker on the table. If a kikimora harasses 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. The swamp or forest kikimora appeared before people in the form of a small, dry old woman in rags, sloppy and a little eccentric. There were legends about her as a kidnapper of small children, in whose place she tossed an enchanted log to their parents.

Bannik. Just like the kikimora, it is the closest relative of the guardian spirit. He even looks very similar to a brownie. He is often depicted as a small, dark old man with a long, musty beard. He lives in a bathhouse. Loves to play pranks. Either he will scald someone with boiling water, or he will scare someone by knocking on the wall. How to appease a brownie-bathhouse attendant? Leave him a crust of rye bread, sprinkled with salt. This is his favorite treat. And in the newly built bathhouse they perform a special cruel ritual: they take a black chicken and, without plucking it, strangle it and bury it right there in the ground at the threshold. It is believed that in this way one can protect oneself from the machinations of the spirit.

Leshy. This is the forest spirit. In each locality he was called differently: leshak, forester, owner of the forest, grandfather of the forest, 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. It will help a good person get out of the forest if he gets lost. But he will deliberately confuse the bad guy: he will start to scare him, yell at him, and make him wander aimlessly in circles. No one knows what a goblin looks like. It is believed to be an invisible spirit. In ancient tales he is represented as a lonely, large old man, resembling a decrepit tree. Mushroom and berry pickers can sometimes pass by it and not notice. This is no wonder: only by looking closely, you can see hair that looks like twigs, arms and legs that resemble tree roots, and a beard covered with lichens. Although often the spirit of the forest can take the form of some plant or animal. Some people talked about meeting them in the forest thicket. They met an inconspicuous man whose face they could not remember. The stranger talked to them and helped them get out. And when they got home, people couldn’t even describe it. Nobody 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, feeling the approach of death, come to the house of the spirit to find their last refuge here. He cares about his charges. So, in times of famine, he drives flocks of animals to other forests for food. It was with this phenomenon that mass migrations of animals were associated. For a long time, people tried to appease the devil, since in the villages they lived on the gifts of the forest. When angry, a spirit could bring a lot of trouble to a person. One of them is livestock theft. This was a great loss for the village economy. Or a goblin could steal a baby from its cradle. Instead of a child, the parents found a sheaf of straw, a log or a log in the morning. It was believed that the spirits of the forest raised the kidnapped children, passing on secret witchcraft knowledge to them. Such a person subsequently became a healer or an evil magician.

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

Folk signs

Since ancient times, people believed that if you live according to the laws of nature, respecting its patrons, then you don’t have to fear anything bad. It was believed that when moving to another house, you must call your 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 entire house counterclockwise. At the same time, it was necessary to pronounce the following spell: “Grandfather-neighbor, here is our sleigh for you, come live with us. There's a house there, brownie, come live with me. Lead your mistress as well as I can, I will reward you.” You need to walk around the apartment when all the furniture is taken out. You should be the last one to leave, locking the door. And this is what our ancestors did when they wanted a good brownie to move with them to a new place: for housewarming they put one coin in the basement, 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, the top was cut off, salted and thrown behind the oven to treat their patron. There are many other folk signs associated with this creature:

If a brownie often strangles his owner at night, you need to invite a priest to the house so that he can bless him three times.

If the spirit of the home often plays pranks and bothers its charges, you need to put a handful of thyme in the pillow.

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

If in the morning the residents find bruises on their bodies, it means that the spirit does not like them and needs to be appeased.

If a creature strokes its owner with a warm and smooth hand, this is a sign of well-being, but if it is cold and rough, it is unlucky.

If someone you know is staying overnight in an apartment for the first time, you need to ask permission from the “owner” of the house. Otherwise, he will become angry and will not allow the person to rest at night, pushing and harassing him. And this despite the fact that no one has ever seen him and does not know what a brownie looks like. There is no photo of him. However, many claim that they felt causeless anxiety and excitement in such a situation.

Hearing the groans or howls of the patron of the house means the death of its owner.

How to call a brownie?

It is believed that one 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 also those who claimed that at a certain moment they noticed how a small humanoid creature overgrown with thick hair was watching them. The villagers believed that this was an evil sign. This is how the spirit warns of danger. How can we make a brownie appear to us? Many peasants living in the countryside knew how to call him. The method is quite simple. You need to throw the unused comb into a bucket of clean water and leave it for three days. After time, human hair was found there. They took it out and dried it. At a certain moment, the spirit of the house might appear for a few seconds.

But he did not always appear in human form. There were cases when people reported that when entering a barn or barnyard they saw a huge black cat, which, when they appeared, rushed into a corner and disappeared. 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 “cajole” them. Spirits love it when people remember them, leave treats and congratulate them on the holiday. There are several ways to appease a brownie. The simplest of them is to leave a small gift in the corner of the room. The “owner” of the house also loves it when people call him affectionately. He doesn't like the word "brownie". He prefers the nicknames “grandfather”, “hostess”, “dobrozhil”, “himself” and so on. This spirit is very sensitive to trickery on the part of man. Therefore, when speaking with him, you need to put your soul into your words, pronounce them from your heart. This creature also has its own holiday - on the night of February 9-10. You should definitely treat your brownie with something tasty on this day. The ancient Slavs even had such a tradition: to cook sweet porridge especially for him and put it behind the stove in the evening. It was believed that if you forget about this day, the brownie will get angry and begin to play dirty tricks on his masters.

Friends of children and cats

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

But if cats, dogs and other living creatures do not take root in an apartment, die or disappear, it means that the spirit does not like them.

Impact on culture

In Russia, the image of a guardian spirit was very much loved in the past, and is still adored now. It doesn’t matter to us whether brownies actually exist. We are ready to listen to stories about them endlessly. It is enough here to recall the popular cartoon from our childhood about the brownie Kuzya or the book by Nik Perumov “Russian Sword”. In 1976, a feature fairy tale film called “Duck Village” was released on television. The brownie Shishka was played by the legendary actor Rolan Bykov. These strange mythical men are popular not only in Russian culture, but also abroad. Thus, in Joan Kathleen Rowling's heptalogy "Harry Potter" there is a mention of similar creatures - house elves. According to the history of the book series, they live in the families of wealthy wizards and serve their masters. They will be able to gain freedom only if the owner gives them clothes. The theme of guardian spirits is also reflected in fine art. 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 basking on the bed, half asleep, and the pot-bellied, thick-haired, eerie-looking “owner” of this hotly heated 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 poltergeists in apartments. We don’t know what these are: spirits of the house, or some other entities. 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 spirits”, there is none.

Every house has a brownie. But almost no one saw him, with the exception of people who were able to establish a connection with the magical owner and meet him face to face.

Our ancestors believed that in every home there lives an invisible owner, who takes care of and protects the house from all troubles. A brownie is a good spirit that you can make friends with and see out of the corner of your eye. In fairy tales, legends and myths, the otherworldly neighbor is portrayed as a tiny old man with a beard and shabby clothes, who, moreover, is a surprisingly terrible grumbler, but an indispensable helper. However, this image is just one of many incarnations of the brownie.

Who is a brownie and what does he look like?

Among esotericists there is an opinion that most otherworldly forces are evil beings. They love to play dirty tricks, hide or spoil your things, cause chaos and disturb your sleep with their noise. But if this is still a real brownie living in your house, he will definitely make friends with you and will help you and your home in every possible way.

In a good mood, an invisible assistant protects and protects your home, keeps order, and sometimes helps you look into the future and predict your fate. But if you make him angry or offended, expect trouble. It can make your pets sick, create a terrible mess and scare you every time. Therefore, most people try to make friends with him, and not just to see him. The brownie will gladly accept from you various sweets left especially for him. But if you've seriously decided to get to know your home assistant, you should find out more about them before calling them. According to all legends and myths, there are three main types of brownies, which differ not only in appearance, but also in their responsibilities and tasks.

Good brownie

According to legend, this is the classic and most common image of a brownie, who lives and helps people from the very moment they appeared on earth. Disputes about whether there are brownies or not are still ongoing, but we do not undertake to deny the presence of an otherworldly entity next to us. The invisible helper lives only in those houses where people live. It protects family well-being, helps to manage the household and maintain order. Such entities feed on the remnants of energy emanating from a person.

Such brownies are kind and sympathetic spirits who are ready to make contact with a person. They often play with animals or children living in the house, help in every possible way and lift your spirits. They look exactly the same as people. Usually shown in the form of an old man with a fluffy beard. Sometimes they can become mischievous and mischievous when they don’t like your behavior. But they are not ready for more than making noise with dishes or hiding a personal item from you.

It is quite easy to see a kind helper, especially if you have no disagreements with him. Sometimes people see them in the form of fluffy balls or animals. But no one has ever been able to capture such a miracle: brownies are very shy and immediately hide if you accidentally see it. If we look at the myths, many Domovyats have their own families in which the future guardians of the hearth grow up. Such an assistant should be taken with you when moving, so as not to lose a faithful and reliable patron of your family happiness.

Souls of dead people

There are cases when the soul of a deceased person, which during life moved away from its karmic task, can serve as a brownie. Basically, to serve another family and home, people who have given little to their loved ones and their home are sent by higher powers. Their main task is to take care of the house and its owners. Such entities are mostly peaceful and submissive.

They are not at all like an ordinary brownie. They are tall, incorporeal and look like black or gray spirits. Such entities do not like to show themselves and are in every possible way against any contact with a person. They feed on cosmic energy and are not energy vampires. Compared to the classic brownie, the souls of the dead have greater power and are most often useful. In their arsenal there are skills acquired during earthly life, which they actively use to help the owners of the house.

Angry brownie

Children are frightened by such horror stories as the little drummer or the evil brownie. The terrible tale appeared not without reason: esotericists claim that such entities actually exist, and they only cause chilling horror if they suddenly appear in the house. This is the third type of incarnation of a brownie. More precisely, these are real monsters who know how to masterfully disguise themselves as a good brownie. They settle in abandoned houses or empty apartments, and sometimes they can purposefully drive the owner out of his own home, turning life into hard labor. They feed on any energy and cause harm to everyone who lives near them. The most favorite dish for them is your fear, so they will do everything possible to scare you properly and get enough of you.

The “evil brownie” looks like a shadow, a black silhouette with burning eyes, long arms, claws and a wolfish grin. When they appear in an apartment, a person is overwhelmed by anxious thoughts, causeless fear and panic. According to eyewitnesses, someone's evil gaze literally begins to haunt you. In this case, it is necessary to take immediate measures and kick out the uninvited guest.

To see a brownie, you first need to understand who he is. If a kind helper lives in your house, make friends with him, leave him treats and tasty delicacies. Then all sorrows and adversities will pass you by, and peace, harmony and understanding will reign in the apartment. We wish you a great mood, success,and don't forget to press the buttons and

Many people interested in the supernatural are interested in the question - what does a real brownie look like? It is quite difficult to answer this question unambiguously; different people who have encountered this creature describe it differently. However, it is possible that the brownie is simply capable of taking on different appearances at will.

What does a brownie look like?

Most often, people who met the brownie describe him as a short old man with a good-natured expression on his face, wearing shabby, darned pants and a straw hat on his head. It is believed that the younger he looks, the older he actually is.

Other witnesses describe the brownie as a short, shaggy creature (covered from head to toe with long, thick hair) with a human face.

Many experts on the issue claim that brownies often prefer to appear in front of people in the form of pets (usually cats), usually with green eyes and ashy fur.

Finally, there is an opinion that a brownie is able to take on the appearance of the owner of the home, although he will only be visible in the mirror. In any case, these creatures absolutely do not like to come across us without a serious need. It is much easier to hear them, especially at night, or see the results of their activities.

Why is he coming?

Many people are concerned about the question: why does the brownie come? Usually these secretive creatures appear when they have something to tell you. In addition, this is possible if you are moving to a new home and its owner has come to meet you. Or when you return home after a long absence.

Why at night?

How to call a brownie

Of course, many curious people want to communicate with this mysterious creature. To the question of how to call a brownie at will, the answer is quite well known - the easiest way to lure him out is with a treat. It’s better if it’s gingerbread or delicious cookies. It should be served in a saucer on a table covered with a tablecloth.

You should stand with your back to the treat and say “ Father, come for a treat! " When a feeling of an outside presence appears, you can ask your questions, but only so that the answer can be unequivocal - either “no” or “yes”.

A positive answer will cause itching in the right hand, a negative answer, respectively, in the left. Be sure to thank the “owner” for his answers. Then bury the treat next to any tree except aspen.

In general, a brownie should be regularly treated to something tasty and treated with complete respect!
