Having formulated the desired thought, you need to imagine how divine energy flows through the body to the hands. Take a toy in your hands, mentally ask it for what you want and thank it.

Stage 1: Pattern

The components of the planned doll are indicated on paper. After which they are placed on burlap. Outline with a felt-tip pen (pencil or chalk). It is necessary to maintain an allowance on the side. It is small - 5 mm. They are cut out. Their quantity:

• one head,
• one nose,
• 8 components of arms and legs,
• 4 components of the sole.

In creating this house amulet, the master class implies the following parameters:

• head: 6 cm in diameter,
• feet length – 6 cm,
• length of the component arms and legs: 10 cm.

These and other parameters are more accurately reflected in these drawings

Stage 2: Component Assembly

This is where the head is assembled first. To do this, move 1 cm away from the extreme side of the pattern. Using a needle, make a stitch. It should go along the entire diameter. Pull the material together, leaving a small hole. It is needed for stuffing. Filling for the head – padding polyester. It is distributed evenly in it. Then the hole is tightened and the thread is fixed.

Assembling the nose follows the same principle. The nose is attached to the center of the face with a needle or glue gun.

Eye positions are outlined. The eyes are glued. These are small buttons.

After this, you can collect the components of the arms and legs. Holes for stuffing are preserved. The filler is the same as in the head. The sole is attached to the foot components. The holes are sewn up.

Then the torso is lined up, filled and sutured. Its filler is padding polyester.

After this, you can form the arms and legs.

Buttons are used to form joints. They are attached to the body. Then the head is sewn on.

Home protection toy

In ancient times, a toy was considered the personification of a living person and symbolized his reduced copy. She was always treated with extreme care and great caution. A correctly selected toy, located in the right place, can scare away many misfortunes and troubles from the apartment.

As an amulet against evil spirits, the ancient Slavic peoples used dolls without faces (sometimes there was a cross in this place). To make them, special techniques were used, the obligatory condition of which was the prohibition of using a needle.

Dolls have always meant feminine strength and wisdom, they helped:

• maintain positive energy in the home;
• bring prosperity and wealth to the home;
• scare away envious people;
• the keeper of the hearth can cope with housework;
• getting older girls pregnant;
• maintain harmony in marriage, avoid scandals. The toy was a gift to newlyweds on their wedding day as a blessing from their parents. Also, during the presentation, the giver can say “Tili-tili dough for the bride and groom.”

Amulet toys can be placed in any corner of the house: at the doorstep, in the bedroom, in the kitchen, in the living room, etc. But to ensure complete protection, the doll must live in the same room where its “ward” is often located. Clothes for the toy are also made independently (for example, you can knit a dress for it or use nylon). The main thing is to store it carefully and hide it from prying eyes.

Stage 3: Embroidering clothes

Here you need to rely on the 3 and 4 indicated drawings. The patterns are transferred to paper and then to fabric. Allowances of 5 mm are taken into account. Shoulder seams are used to assemble the shirt. Sleeves are inserted. The seams on the sides need to be stitched. A contrasting trim is used to decorate the sleeves of the shirt. The pants are assembled at the seams. The top bends. The elastic band is retracted. After which the doll can be dressed up.

Stage 6: Beard

Tow is also used here. The beard is glued using the same principle as hair. It must be evenly distributed around the circumference of the nose and glued. The excess is cut off.

The amulet is ready. It needs to be supplemented with a bag that is easy to sew.

Rice or buckwheat is poured into the bag. About a quarter of the bag.

Such a Brownie must be equipped with the following attributes:

1. The key to the apartment. This is the key to maintaining peace in the house.
2. With money. This is a guarantee of financial well-being.
3. With a spoon. This will prevent hunger in the house.

Brownie's dirty tricks

In addition to the good qualities of the owner and patron, the brownie can be playful. He loves to play, joke with his owners and do little mischief. He can make certain objects disappear, such as car or apartment keys. Thus, it shows that it is time to clean the house or take out the trash. If you don’t pay attention to the brownie and treat the house as a consumer, then the spirit will soon make itself known from a bad side. It can bring residents to such a state that they themselves want to move out of this housing. An owner who is too wasteful may wake up in the morning and find himself with a bruise, although he has not hit himself before. The larger the bruise, the more likely the threat to such an owner.

For bad owners, a brownie can turn out to be a very nasty spirit. In such houses you can often feel uneasy, hear knocks and even screams. In a strong rage, a brownie can even set the apartment on fire. During sleep, a person feels heaviness in the chest and suffocation. This is how a brownie can choke, but when he lets go of a person, the heaviness goes away. Therefore, the brownie can be both feared and respected.

Features of the “broom” type

A broom is a household amulet that is found in every apartment and house. But it's not just this cleaning product. When sweeping the floor, cleansing of dark thoughts and dark energy occurs.

The criteria for correct use of a broom are:

1. The collected garbage is completely and immediately thrown out the door. This is how your determination to protect your home from evil spirits is manifested.
2. Sweep the floors immediately after guests leave. Moreover, the entire apartment must be cleaned. After all, even relatives or good friends can, without knowing it, cause difficulties in your family.
3. The correct position of the broom is that the sweeping side is directed towards the ceiling. So gloomy energy rushes into the sky and does not remain in the house.

You can also test guests using a broom. If a guest is curious why the broom is placed this way, it means he has unclean thoughts. If the guest doesn’t care how the broom is positioned, he doesn’t pay attention to it, then his intentions are pure.

Where did the brownie come from?

In Ancient Rus' he was called “master”, “dedko”, “bayun” and other words. In Scandinavian countries it was "tomtra". In Poland, “chowaniec”. In the USA "bogey". The spirit of the brownie has been described in different world cultures since ancient times. It has many names, but it has one purpose - to protect the home from harm and attract good luck to it. According to the main legend, brownies appeared on Earth when Satan rebelled against God. The Almighty, as punishment, threw the Devil and all his servants from heaven. Many demons flew through the earth and went straight into hell, but some of them were able to stay on Earth, such as mermaids, goblins, kikimoras and house-elfs. Those spirits who were able to repent before God received the status of “domestic evil spirits” and began to serve people.

What to do with the amulet if it is damaged

During long-term use, the amulet may lose its attractive appearance: the color of the threads will become faded, and cracks will appear on the clay figurine. This means that over a long period of service, the brownie successfully fulfilled its protective function. Further use of the amulet makes no sense, since its magical power has dried up. You need to get rid of such a talisman.

The old amulet must be thanked for its help and protection, and then buried in the ground in the forest. To replace the old talisman, you need to buy or sew a new one.

It becomes obvious that the brownie is a bright spirit who will happily serve a person. Of course, sometimes brownies play pranks, but there is never any malicious intent in their pranks. By their actions, they draw a person’s attention to the fact that home and family are the greatest values, therefore the apartment must be kept clean and tidy, and family members must live in peace and harmony.

3. The horns should point up.
4. If you dream of having children, hang this amulet over your sleeping bed.

Are amulets depicting brownies dangerous?

During the formation of Orthodoxy in Russian lands, absolutely all ancient gods and spirits were declared harmful. The housekeepers also came under “repression” when the church put these good home guardians on the same level as the devils. It is believed that a brownie cannot live in a consecrated dwelling. Holy water, incense, church candles are the enemies of the guardian spirits of the hearth.

Today it is not known for sure whether ominous stories about brownies appeared before the baptism of Rus', or long before that. Thus, excavations in Bulgaria and Serbia confirm that in ancient times the construction of a house could not be done without making a human sacrifice, and later cattle were used for the same purpose. According to one of the many versions of their origin, the spirits of the victims are the same brownies.

There is also a bad omen associated with the house spirit: seeing him in a black outfit is bad news. Sometimes a house-elf who is offended by something comes into conflict with the inhabitants of the house. Then things begin to disappear, food quickly spoils, pets often get sick, or even leave home.

Despite this, in folk tradition the attitude towards the Master was and remains positive - brownies are seen as helpers, guardians of the family. Before making a brownie with her own hands, the craftswoman must decide for herself how she feels about the brownie, whether the presence of a talisman in the house will be joyful for her. If the answer is positive, the craftswoman should not expect any harm from the brownie: how the amulets work depends on the energy invested in them during production.
