Krympress reports:
On September 4, the peasants went to guard Gumna. Moreover, they did it for a reason: they put on a sheepskin coat inside out and took a poker with them. Why? The reason was good — they were defended in this way from the goblin. The people believed that on this day he runs from one village to another and was fooling around — scatters hay everywhere. And also the goblin inhuman cries scared passers -by.
By the way, in the folk calendar, Leshim was dedicated to several days. In particular, it was believed that on September 27, the goblin distiliates animals in the forest, and therefore tried not to leave the house without much need. In October, there was also a time when they honored Leshi and said that he fell under the ground to wait out the winter, but before that it was raging a lot, because of which it is dangerous to meet him.
In general, the Leshi in Rus’ was very revered, because he was a good spirit, who watched that no one would cause any harm to the farm. They said that the goblin would never harm people doing good deeds. So, it was believed that such a spirit helps to get out of the forest and not get lost, and he, on the contrary, made evil people on the rampant to wandering around the forest paths. Those who met the goblin said that he could remind of some relative or acquaintance in appearance. However, a red sash is always tied on Lesh — this is what helps to recognize the spirit. Also, the left floor of his caftan is open, and the shoes are worn from the left leg to the right, and vice versa.
Signs of the day:
- Sunny day — by warm autumn.
- To appease the house and courtyard spirits, the mistresses in the old days baked pies and cut a black rooster. These treats were left on the stable, in the bathhouse, in Ovin, etc., so that the spirits were reinforced and not harm the hosts.
- Ench in near the house Zaja — the goblin walks nearby.
- It is dangerous to go to the forest on this day — the goblin will stop (lure into the thicket).
- If a young and beautiful girl disappeared on this day, it was believed that the Leshy himself took her as a wife.
- If you do a good deed on this day, it will return to you three times.
- Give and accept gifts on September 4 — to minor troubles.
- Girls on this day should not eat before sunset to remain young and beautiful as long as possible.
- The one who was born on this day will grow up with a kind and touchy person. His Galisman stone is Beryl.
