The ancient Slavs considered the brownie to be the patron of the home.
This creature was classified not as a deity, but as a spirit. Even though they didn’t worship him, they still tried to make friends with him - such a friend and helper is a very good acquaintance. How to find out where a brownie lives? Is it possible to see him and how to contact him? Does it need to be fed? How can it help and how can it be useful? You will find all the answers in our article.

Do they really exist

The brownie is a supernatural creature whose existence has not been proven by science. Nevertheless, many people believe in it, and there is reason to trust folk tales.

There is a widespread belief among people that a good spirit, also known as a brownie, grandfather or neighbor, lives in every house and even in every apartment. There are different ways to check for its presence, but in some cases this is not necessary. We can say with confidence that a house where several generations of the same family have lived definitely has a protective spirit.

It is not known whether the spirit appears of its own free will or whether people themselves, by the power of thought, create a brownie in real life. Grandfather is not tied to a place, although he leaves it very reluctantly. If the need arises, he can move with his family.

So are there really brownies? Scientists deny the fact of their existence, but many eyewitnesses are, although not proof, still a fact that should be taken into account. A persistent image has been preserved in folklore, which proves the fact that in the past the house spirit was taken very seriously.

Surely, among your acquaintances there will be people who say that they saw a brownie in their apartment or in a relative’s apartment and even received a warning from him about impending troubles.

Brownie Day

In Rus', the name day of the brownie is considered to be April 1st. On this day, treat the brownie more attentively, and along with the treat say: “Congratulations, grandpa, on your birthday!” It is advisable to choose a treat so that it does not spoil, and it needs to be renewed on the 1st of every month. But the most important rule for communicating with a brownie is a peaceful atmosphere in the house. Do not allow swearing, shouting, or violent showdowns. From constant quarrels, the brownie will first become nervous and then angry. There will still be no great harm from him, but he will deprive you of his protection and protection. Therefore, if you want to maintain peace and comfort in your home, resolve all issues in a friendly and gentle tone. And then your “housewife” will help you in everything, protect you and fill your home with goodness and prosperity.

Brownies are mysterious creatures that live in every house, apartment and yard. He is often called the keeper, the hostess, or the old master. In ancient Rus' they believed that family well-being, material wealth and harmony depended on the correct approach to the brownie. When moving to a new home, the keeper was always taken with them. He was moved on a broom, in a birch bark bast shoe or on a bread spatula, calling in a whisper: “Here is a good sleigh for you, come our dear brownie with us!” If the old owner falls in love with the head of the house, he feeds and cares for his livestock, takes care of everything, and helps. Whose house he doesn’t like, he does dirty tricks, promotes thefts, disturbs people at night and drives family members beyond the threshold of the house. To be friends with a brownie, to receive help and gifts from him, you need to know special secrets on how to appease him.

Brownies are different

Disputes about the origins of brownies continue today. There are quite a lot of versions. Some seem more logical, others are scary. It is impossible to understand which of them are the most truthful.

Everyone chooses for themselves what to believe. People simply settle on what fits into their worldview and accept it as the truth.

Types of brownies:

The ancient Slavs believed that the brownie had nothing to do with the human world. This is a creature from the world of spirits and magical creatures that has settled next to people. For what purpose? Mutually beneficial coexistence. The spirit receives a roof over its head and food, and in return helps with the housework and protects the inhabitants of the house or apartment.
According to another version, the invisible owner of the house is a dead man. Sounds creepy, yes! But you shouldn’t be afraid of him - he’s also a good brownie. The Higher Powers left the soul of the deceased on Earth to cleanse karma. Perhaps during his lifetime he was unable to devote time to his family, he did not know how to care and love, so now he is learning all this after death.
In addition to the good guy, there is also an evil brownie. It’s not entirely correct to call him a brownie, but that’s the way it is. What is he? An ethereal entity seething with negative energy. Perhaps this is a random guest. Or your family itself created it with a bad environment in the house. It is difficult to get rid of it, but it is possible.

An animal can also become a home protector. Actually, any, but usually it's a cat or a dog. Why not other animals (rats, hamsters, parrots), no one knows.

A brownie in the form of a cat or dog appears after the death of a pet. If its owners love it very much, the animal decides to stay with them after death.

How do they look

A good brownie can take on different forms. Some of them are so frightening that they evoke thoughts of exorcism.

But don’t rush to run after the exorcist! Listen to your feelings. Maybe you were scared out of surprise? Try to understand whether you feel slight fear or panic? If the fear quickly evaporates, there is no need to sound the alarm. It’s just that your housewife likes to joke and therefore appears to the inhabitants of the apartment in a creepy role.

What do brownies look like:

On balls of wool. Often at first glance they resemble small black kittens. And sometimes they are large, very furry, with glowing eyes. "Cats" can be black or gray.
To the shadow. This is an unusual shadow. She has no owner behind whose back she must walk. This means that the shadow can be on any surface in the house - even on the wall, even on the ceiling. Or it will even fly through the air in front of your nose, scaring the hell out of you.
For one of the deceased relatives. Such a meeting can cost gray hairs, because we all read horror films about ghosts in childhood and know that we can’t expect good from them. Brownies usually appear as ghosts when they want to warn of danger.

The neighbors themselves choose in what form they will appear before us. Their appearance depends on many factors, including the atmosphere in the house and the mood of the spirit itself. Because of this, it can be confused with an evil entity - a restless soul or a poltergeist.

Therefore, it is better not to judge by appearance, but to try to feel the energy. Understand whether good or bad energy comes from a being. And only then act.

Brownie character

But the keeper of the house will not cause serious harm. He is prone to small pranks, sometimes without any reason. By their nature, brownies are not aggressive, so it is difficult to anger them. Much of the behavior of the keeper of the house depends on the owner himself. The spirit will not tolerate an inattentive owner who cannot fix a dripping faucet for months. The brownie will constantly pester such a person, and at the same time intrigue other family members. The brownie will respect a caring owner, trying to help in running the household.

According to superstition, the keeper of the house may become very angry if a woman shows her loose hair to another man.

Brownies usually have a quiet and secretive disposition. They do not like to communicate with representatives of the human world. Sometimes, wanting to warn the owner about trouble, the keeper can talk to the person. His voice is quiet, like the rustling of autumn leaves or dry grass. But if you want, you can recognize what he is saying.

There is no need to be afraid of the drummer. If fear arises, it is not recommended to demonstrate it. This may offend the guardian, and he will no longer show his face.

If a person sees a brownie crying, trouble will inevitably follow. If you manage to notice his laughter, a big joyful event is coming soon.

But such meetings occur infrequently. In its real form, the brownie usually appears only to small children or to those people who suffer from alcoholism or drug addiction. The reason is that hardly anyone will believe their stories.

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

The ancient Slavs tried to live in harmony with the world, did not divide everything into good and bad, believing that these two extremes were necessary for the balance of the Universe.

Older women passed on the knowledge they received from their grandmothers and great-grandmothers to their children and grandchildren. They taught them how to appease an evil spirit and drive away the bad one, how to protect themselves and loved ones from the evil eye or witchcraft. Then they knew for sure how to check if there was a brownie in the house.

Signs of the presence of a good spirit in a house and apartment:

You've probably heard that young children often have imaginary friends. Now imagine that it’s not fantasy at all. Children see what is inaccessible to the eyes of adults, looking at the world through glasses of skepticism and disapproval. They know how to communicate with spirits and ghosts. By observing their behavior, you can understand whether there is a good spirit in the house.
There is another way to find out if a brownie is watching over you. Now you will have to watch not children, but pets - a cat or a dog. An animal can sit for a long time, looking at one place, as if chasing something invisible around the apartment or playing with itself. All this indicates that next to her is a neighbor whom you do not see.
What is the easiest way to find the owner of the house? Wait until he deigns to show himself. You may have to wait a very long time. It all depends on the character of the housewife - some don’t mind appearing to people, others betray their presence in the apartment only with sounds or the feeling of a breeze passing by.

The previous methods help to accurately determine whether there is a good spirit in the house. But what if they don't suit you?

Try to determine the presence of a brownie by little things:

Listen, are there any extraneous sounds in the apartment? Creaks, rustles, stomping feet, sighs, tapping - all this indicates that an invisible helper lives nearby.
See if things are missing in the apartment? How often do you lose something at home? And how often do you find something missing in a place where there was nothing just a few minutes ago? This old man is playing around!
Have you ever felt like someone woke you up during a nightmare? Although all your relatives claim that they have not entered your room since the morning. Brownies often wake up their owners when they have bad dreams.

Why do brownies come at night? This is a moment of silence in the apartment. At night we are usually not busy with everyday worries. This means that we are more likely to pay attention to the signs given by the spirit.

Are there brownies in apartments?

The very word “brownie” suggests that this creature lives in the house. Thinking about this, some begin to ask: will there be a brownie in the apartment?

No need to worry about it! Good spirits that keep order are found where people live - in small houses, large houses and, of course, in apartments.

So why was this spirit called a brownie? It's simple - at the time when people decided to come up with a name for this entity, there was no other type of housing. At that time, high-rise buildings with hundreds of apartments propping up the sky were still unknown to humanity. Everyone lived in houses for one or at most several families.

Signs of presence in the house

How to recognize an unusual neighbor? Drums can be kind, bringing peace and comfort to the house. There is an interesting opinion that this is the spirit of a deceased person who did not pay much attention to his family during his lifetime. And after death, as punishment, he must serve her and protect her.

If Barabashka treats you kindly, then he will not annoy you with his presence. Most likely, the reason for your appearance in the house is your emotional state. You can understand that a creature treats you well by the following signs:

The house is warm, comfortable and calm.
When you are alone, you do not experience discomfort and nightmares do not bother you at night.
Sounds are heard, but they are more like cat steps.
Cookies and sweets disappear from the house.
Illnesses and misfortunes are very rare.

But even the peacefully minded Barabashka can show character. The reason for this may be dirt and scattered things, swearing between household members. If you make him angry, he may even strangle you in your sleep. Some argue that Barabashka starts in the house in which the misfortune occurred and is a restless spirit with a negative attitude. You can define such a neighbor as follows:

It's scary to fall asleep in the dark, you're overcome with anxiety.
You can hear knocking and strange sounds at night.
Objects move on their own.
Doors creak, windows open as if from a draft.
Children look at one point for a long time.

Negative drums, as esotericists say, do not appear in the house by themselves. Someone is bringing them.

Important! A person endowed with dark power, with the help of an evil-minded Barabashka, can even plague a family. Therefore, it is important to expel the creature from the energy field of your home in time.

How to drive away a pest and get a helper

In some cases, it is very difficult to distinguish a raging brownie from a real pest. Especially if he has only recently started doing mischief. Then it is recommended to observe. See if his mood improves or stays the same.

What you need to pay attention to:

The inhabitants of the house or apartment, as well as their guests, become uncomfortable in the room.
As soon as the lights go out in the apartment and it’s time to sleep, panic attacks you. And yet you cannot even understand what you are afraid of.
Pets began to get nervous. They rush restlessly around the house, chasing something invisible or hissing into the void. Felines are especially sensitive to such changes.
Things begin to disappear in the house, some extraneous sounds are regularly heard that arise on their own - knocks, creaks, pops.

A good brownie can break up like that, offended by you. Or just trying to keep you out of trouble. If after a while it doesn’t get better, and everything even seems to get worse, it’s time to take action!

How to kick out a brownie:

spray a house or apartment with blessed water;
walk around the entire apartment with lit incense;
place candles in the corners of the rooms.

Candles should not be scented. Their shape doesn't matter. Church ones will also work - they will work better. Let the candles burn out completely and only then remove them. Be sure to use an odd number.

None of this helped? It's a pity! But this also happens. It happens that a very strong spirit settles in a house - ordinary people are unable to drive it away. How then to get rid of the brownie? Invite someone who can handle this better than you - a priest or a paranormal specialist. Now choose who you trust more.

The vile spirit has been exorcised. Now you can calmly breathe out and think about what to do next. And then you must definitely invite a new brownie.

We know how to get and appease a brownie:

At night, before going to bed, leave some sweets in the kitchen for the new keeper of the house. Don't forget to warn your family that treats are not allowed! Before you close the door and go to bed, say this phrase out loud:

“Brownie, brownie, I brought you some sweets, come for lunch.
I brought you cheesecakes, stay for dinner. Brownie, brownie, I brought you tea - stay until the morning, Stay with us to live forever.” Having heard this, not a single good brownie will be able to resist coming to visit you.

How to ask a brownie for help?

Housekeepers are always happy to help their owners - especially those who carefully and conscientiously manage their household. You can contact them about missing items, family relationships, difficulties with children’s studies, and other needs.

For the brownie to return the item

The spirit knows the location of all objects in the home. In order for him to return an item or help find an item, you should ask him about it: “Brownie-father, help! Tell me where (name of thing) is.”

They are often addressed as follows: “Brownie-brownie, play and give it back!”

When asking the keeper for help, you must promise him toys or treats. When the item is found, you need to thank it with food or milk.

If your spouse pays less attention

A specially purchased pin is placed under the stove, addressing the brownie: “Housewife, good master, help! Turn my faithful husband to me. Let him not wander or wander around with anyone, but hold on to me tightly. Exactly!". Then a treat should be provided for the brownie. After three days, the pin is pinned to the spouse’s clothes.

He will become more attentive and caring within the next week.

If children don't want to study

On a full moon, you should put any delicacy for the brownie in the kitchen, and next to it - a glass of water.

The words are said three times: “Brownie, my caring master! I ask you, charge this water with wisdom. Let my children be wise and meek, obedient and smart. Help, father! Please accept my treat for your help.”

To protect the brownie from troubles

A glass of vodka or wine is placed in a special place where the brownie lives, and the words are said: “Housewife-brownie! Come out, sit next to me, and we’ll talk well. I ask you, protect me from everyone, (name), and help my children too.”

During the appeal, you can ask the spirit in your own words to help get rid of disturbing troubles. The drink is left to stand overnight.

So that there is good luck and happiness in the house

You can ask the keeper of the house for happiness on any day of the waxing moon.

To do this, pour a cup of milk and cut off a small piece of bread. You need to stand so as to look east. The milk is divided into two parts, pouring a small amount into the second empty cup. The bread is then broken into two halves. This should be done with your hands, not with a knife.

When the preparations are completed, they say the words for food: “Brownie-grandfather, good housewife! I share a meal with you, I ask you for good luck and happiness. Help me in all matters, give me joy, don’t refuse me! Exactly".

Then half the bread should be eaten, washed down with milk. The remaining food is placed on the kitchen table. In the morning, the food must be fed to your pet. If there are no animals at home, then the food is given to a street cat or dog.

How to appease a brownie in an apartment or house

Like any other living creature, a neighbor can be offended. Sometimes the reasons for his dissatisfaction are obvious, but sometimes it is very difficult to guess what you did wrong.

Why do brownies get offended:

You don't care about order - you rarely clean the apartment or do it anyhow.
Leave sharp or cutting objects on the table. This spoils the good energy that Dedko so diligently creates.
In the house and apartment you can constantly hear curses, reproaches and quarrels. Again, this is negative energy that the neighbor is struggling with.
Family members forget to treat the brownie. For him, human food comes as a treat, and not the main food, but do not forget about small signs of attention.

The more negative energy accumulates in the house, the more upset the good spirit becomes. After all, his task is to maintain an atmosphere of well-being in the apartment.

How to appease a brownie:

Conduct energy cleansing of the apartment. For example, washing floors with salt or walking around rooms with a candle. And it’s nice for you to breathe, and it’s less work for him!
Leave some goodies for your little friend from time to time. Don't know what he eats? Everything is very simple. Brownies, like children, love sweets: cookies, candies, honey or jam, sugar, milk.
Dedko is still a neat guy. He is happy when there is no dust or dirt in the house. Walk around the apartment with a damp cloth, sweep and wash the floors, and his mood will immediately improve.
Do not forget to thank the spirit for its help when it warns of danger. Brownies are not required to do this. They only care so much about people when they are very attached to them. It's always nice to know that your help is appreciated.

Interesting fact. Surely you have never thought that brownies also celebrate birthdays! You won't have to guess when your protector was born. A long time ago, people already chose a day that became a holiday for the brownie. The Domovits' birthday falls on February 10th.

Description of Brownie

The brownie is a kind spirit, the keeper of the house and everything that is in it. The brownie looks like a small old man (20–30 centimeters tall) with a large beard. It is believed that the older the brownie, the younger he looks, since they are born old men and die babies. The god Veles patronizes the brownies, from whom the spirits inherited several abilities, for example, the ability to predict the future, but the main thing, of course, is wisdom and the ability to heal people and animals.

The brownie lives in almost every home, choosing secluded places to live: behind the stove, under the threshold, in the attic, behind a chest, in a corner, or even in a chimney.

The brownie takes every possible care of his home and the family that lives in it, protecting them from evil spirits and misfortunes. If a family keeps animals, then the brownie will look after them; the good spirit especially loves horses, but if the brownie doesn’t like the animal, he can beat it to death.

The brownie loves cleanliness and order in the house, and does not like it when the inhabitants of the house are lazy. But the spirit dislikes it much more when the inhabitants of the house begin to quarrel with each other or treat it with disrespect. An angry brownie begins to let him know that the person is wrong: he knocks on doors and windows; interferes with sleep at night, making terrible sounds or screams, sometimes even wakes a person up, pinching him painfully, after which large and painful bruises remain on the body, which hurt more, the more angry the brownie is; and in extreme cases, the spirit is capable of throwing dishes, writing bad messages on the walls and starting small fires. However, the brownie will not cause serious harm to a person, and sometimes the spirit living in the house plays pranks without any particular reason.

The brownie rarely appears to a person, although children and animals can see him, often he even plays with them, but the spirit can be heard quite often, usually this is an unusual knocking or incomprehensible grumbling, sometimes the brownie howls - this portends trouble in the house. When moving, it is customary to invite the brownie with you; to do this, they put a basket in which they put bread and salt or a cup of porridge and say: “Grandfather Brownie, come out. Come live with us!”, and in the new place they again put the basket in the center of the room and say: “Grandfather Brownie, come home. Come live with us!”
