February 1: Makaryev Day or Makar-Vesnokazchik. And today — IMBOLK
Krympress reports:
February 1 — Day of reverence for the memory of the Monk Macarius the Great — the very day of winter, into which our ancestors actively “calculated”, what kind of spring will be and when to wait for her arrival. Today’s forecast was considered the most truthful, so note and check:
- The first day of February is clear — the spring heat will be installed quickly. February will also be clear and warm.
- From the roofs, the spring will be early.
- The blizzard went — it will not subside for a long time. All February there will be revenge, until Shrovetide. This sign is especially accurate if it is at noon at noon.
- The starry sky is to a protracted winter.
- If the high atmospheric pressure quickly decreases, and the wind direction has changed from eastern to northeast, then it will soon snow and the wind will intensify.
- Around the solar disk there were circles — wait for a snowstorm.
- Strong frosts hit — the summer months will be hot and arid.
By the way, this night there are prophetic dreams that come true in the very near future.
Name days are celebrated on this day: Anton, Arseny, Gregory, Louise, Makar, Mark, Savva, Fedor, Peter, Nikolai, Efim.
As for another celebration, which also falls on February 1 (and on the 2nd, since this is the day of the transitional quarter on the sunny calendar, halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox). IMBOLK is dedicated to the BRIGIT — the goddess of life and creative power, nature and revival, prosperity and prosperity, initiation, sacred knowledge.
In fact, imbulk is a winter rite of purification, one of the four fiery holidays. In different traditions, the revival of nature is noted. It is believed that the space is cleared for the sprouts of the new. The first signs of spring are manifested through the cold, and the wheel of the year in its rotation begins to move to heat, lengthening the day.
This day should be approached responsibly and devoted to its purity. It is customary to put yourself in order — “wash” to IMBOLK, pour pets with water, clean the house.
AND! On this holiday, dairy products must be on the table! As well as spicy, meat dishes with pepper, onions, garlic, various seeds and herbal teas. Moreover, all these foods must be added raisins. Do not forget to treat with milk and brownies! And if you put a saucer with a hot drink by the window or door, then immensely please the spirits that will be without a roof over your head that night.
And also — light candles today. On February 1, they symbolize the return of heat and the increasing power of the sun.
Bright Immobolka and an ambulance, happy spring!
