How to "appease" the spirit of the house
Our ancestors believed that every room, be it a residential building or outbuildings, has its own patron. The spirit that lives with people is the "brownie". If you treat him well, he will be quiet and not frighten people. “Domovoy” was left with food for the night, they talked to him, and when he moved to a new place, he was sure to “take” with them.
But the spirits of the house are not always supportive of people. Sometimes, they do not want to come into contact with new tenants and try in every possible way to get rid of the owners. This often happens after the death of the previous owner of a house or apartment. The house categorically refuses to accept another owner. Up to the point that a person has to hastily put up an apartment for auction.
So, after the death of matter, Natalya got an apartment in an old, quiet and very prestigious district of Moscow. Natalya's mother, a domineering, cruel and wayward old woman, died suddenly and lay alone in the apartment for another day, until the worried daughter rushed to her. The woman was buried. From the apartment they gradually took out all the garbage that she collected in the surrounding garbage dumps in the last years of her life.
Natalya's husband was categorically opposed to this housing remaining in his wife's use. He insisted on the sale of the apartment and the subsequent purchase of dachas and cars with the proceeds. But Natalya stubbornly did not want to part with her property. She understood that the apartment was her main wealth. She was going to renovate and rent out the inherited housing. The situation in the family was seriously tense, the husband threatened to divorce, and drove his wife out of his house. Vladimir flatly gave up the idea of making repairs in this apartment, so that later he could rent it out. He was blinded by the idea of selling a neglected, but elite "Stalinka", for which he could get good money at the same time.
At the same time, the woman was worried that she was physically unable to be in her mother's apartment. She literally felt sick if she stayed there alone for a long time. The house “did not accept” the new mistress: as soon as Natalya crossed the threshold of her mother’s dwelling, the apartment was immediately filled with strange rustles and knocks. The doors of the wardrobes opened with a loud crack, and with the windows completely closed, a draft swept through the rooms. The old oak parquet was starting to creak under the weight of invisible feet. The new mistress thought with horror that she would have to move into this unfriendly and uncomfortable house, but she could no longer endure her husband's insults and nagging either.
Natalia, in tears, turned to her friend Olga for help. A friend was engaged in occult sciences, read fortune-telling on cards, knew various conspiracies. To begin with, Olga gave Natalia a bunch of candles burned in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem and water and earth brought from the Holy Land. She advised her friend to carry out a ceremony with fire, water and earth in order to expel the evil spirit from the apartment that interferes with life.
The remedy helped briefly. But after a while the spirit again began to "mock" the new mistress. Just like Natalia's husband, who could not come to terms with the loss of "easy money" from the sale of the apartment. He delivered an ultimatum - either the apartment is put up for auction in the next week, or Natalya moves there with all her things, and let her settle down there as she wants.

Olga listened to her friend and said that since the move is inevitable, then you need to make friends with the spirit of the house. Their main mistake was trying to exorcise the spirit. A friend told Natalya to go to her mother's apartment alone, be sure to take something from food and utensils with her. Cups, spoons, plates. All household items must be duplicated. Olga also said that Natalia needs to take with her some of her comfortable home clothes and changeable shoes.
Arriving at the apartment, Natalya, following the advice of her friend, changed into her home clothes, put a kettle on the stove, laid out simple food and cutlery on the table. The house was silent. There were no extraneous sounds, rustles and steps. Natalya poured tea into two cups. I took out a pack of salt and a loaf of black bread specially bought for this meal. She broke off a hump, generously salted it, put it on the table. “Help yourself, this is for you. I sit down with you at the table, share bread and salt with you. Take me, Dom. The woman uttered the ritual words, ate her portion of the bread sprinkled with salt, and lit a candle. After a few minutes, she felt very tired. The events of the last days, sleepless nights and quarrels with her husband made themselves felt. Natalya lay down on the cot, covered herself with her jacket, and fell asleep. Falling asleep, she thought with surprise,that he feels some strange warmth and peace. It seemed to her that she had been sleeping for just a few minutes. In fact, it took about two hours. The candle burned out on the table, but there was no top of salt. There was silence in the house. The parquet did not creak by itself, the invisible wind did not blow. There was no longer the old smell in the apartment, so characteristic of rooms where old things were kept for a long time. Only a subtle scent of some unfamiliar flowers or plants hovered around the rooms. The house received Natalia. The friend was right: bread had to be shared with the spirit of housing.

"Dead" things
It is believed that forty days after the death of a person, you should not touch or throw away everything that belonged to the deceased. After this period, it is already possible to distribute the clothes of the deceased and take out the things belonging to him from the house. But some people, even a year after the funeral, keep various objects in their apartment that remind them of the deceased. Photos of deceased people are hung in prominent places in the apartment, and this is absolutely impossible to do. Disregard of these rules often leads to unpleasant and even tragic events.
Anna's relationship with her mother was always tense. As a child, the parent was too strict with her daughter, then she was unhappy with her marriage. The mother always found a reason to find fault with her son-in-law, then began to interfere in the upbringing of her granddaughter. Even when the young family moved to a separate apartment, their mother continued to poison their lives. The personal life of an elderly lady at one time did not work out. Anna's father, unable to withstand the pressure from his wife, left the family when the girl was still very young. The difficult character became quite nasty when the elderly woman became terminally ill. Anna tossed between hospital, family and work. But from my mother I heard only reproaches that she was a bad daughter, that it was because of her that she fell ill, and that after her death the girl would finally slide “to the bottom of life”. The reproaches were unfair and unfounded,but they hurt Anna painfully. She understood that her mother was sick, and she had very little to live. She tried with all her might to make peace with her mother, albeit at the very last moment.
The mother died without saying anything good to her daughter. After the death of her parent, Anna began to suffer from nightmares. Mother came to her in a dream, cursed her and her granddaughter. She threatened that soon her daughter would divorce her husband, she would be left alone, and she would never have personal happiness. Tormented by night visions, Anna turned to a specialist in occult sciences for help. He told the woman to get rid of all the things that once belonged to her mother and are still in Anna's apartment as soon as possible. Forty days had not yet passed, so Anna decided to wait. But the nightmares were almost real. The mother came every night and threatened that the young woman would not be happy in this life, just as her mother was not happy. She said that this was a just punishment, and Anna did not deserve anything good from fate. That she is the nasty daughter of her father, who left them. Then Anna made up her mind. Without regret, she got rid of the "gifts" she presented to her mother. Everything was thrown into the trash heap, right down to the carpets and dishes, once given by the mother-in-law to the young for housewarming. Anna left nothing in her apartment that her “loving” mother brought into the house. Even the few toys given to her daughter by her grandmother, she secretly collected in the nursery and took them to the garbage chute.she secretly collected it in the nursery and carried it to the garbage chute.she secretly collected it in the nursery and carried it to the garbage chute.
After that, Anna went to church, and ordered memorial prayers for a year. From that day on, the mother no longer came to her daughter with curses.
Things and houses store information about everyone who "comes into contact with" them. Our ancestors were aware of this, although they did not possess such information technologies and capabilities that we have now.
