It is believed that Maslenitsa is a pagan holiday rather than an Orthodox one. But it is not so. Pancake week - prep week to Great Lent.

Shrovetide is a time to be dedicated good communication with neighbors, relatives, friends, charity. The Church calls to remember that at no time is it worth having fun, losing your head and conscience.
Shrovetide Week, Shrovetide is the colloquial name of Cheese Week - the last week before Lent. During Shrovetide, meat is not eaten, but fish and dairy products can be consumed. During Maslenitsa week, the fast on Wednesday and Friday is canceled.
In the church
On Shrovetide, Lenten services begin in churches. The Divine Liturgy is not celebrated on Wednesday and Friday; the Lenten prayer of Saint Ephraim the Syrian is read:
"Lord and Master of my life, do not give me the spirit of idleness, despondency, love of command and idle talk! But grant me the spirit of chastity, humility, patience and love to your servant. as blessed art thou forever and ever. Amen. "
This prayer is repeated many times during all Lenten services.
What to do on Shrovetide
The main dish on Shrovetide is pancakes, which are baked every day from Monday, but especially a lot - from Thursday to Sunday ( wide Shrovetide). Shrovetide food becomes the most important form life. That is why people used to say that at this time one should eat as many times as the dog wags its tail or how many times the crow crows. Unlike many other holidays, on Maslenitsa not only gluttony at home, in the family, but also often go to visit and invite guests to their place.
Shrovetide is also family celebration... Spring is associated with the beginning of a new life, with procreation. Therefore, in the past, they especially honored and congratulated young people who got married last year. They were sledged all over the village, but for a poor and meager treat they could be thrown face down into the snow. People of the Catholic faith, as well as in some Ukrainian villages, have a custom to punish people who have not married in any way. It is believed that they are going against the law of God. On Shrovetide, bachelors were tied to their feet with a special shoe and forced to walk with such a mark all day.
Forgiveness Sunday
The last Sunday before the beginning of Lent is called the Church of Cheeseweed Week (it is on this day that the consumption of dairy products ends), or Forgiveness Sunday... On this day, after the evening service in churches, a special rite of forgiveness is performed, when the clergy and parishioners mutually ask each other for forgiveness in order to enter Great post with pure soul reconciled with all neighbors.
On Forgiveness Sunday, it is customary to ask for forgiveness from all relatives and friends, to which they usually answer: "God will forgive!"

It is curious that Shrovetide, popular among Christians, once came as a good tradition from pagans. Oven pancakes - symbols spring sun and to see off the passing winter was a kind, almost holy rite.
And the fact that Shrovetide began just after Parent's Day, says that the pancakes were baked in memory of the departed parents and ancestors. The first pancake, which usually turns out to be lumpy, was usually displayed separately, as if for the departed. Despite the fact that the Slavs became Christians over the centuries, the celebration of Maslenitsa remained. Well, it's good if there is a reason to remember relatives and have fun with friends and family.
Shrovetide lasts six days in a row and ends with Forgiveness Sunday. Each day has its own customs and traditions, which are useful and interesting to know.

For example, if the young live in the first year and this is the first joint Maslenitsa, it means that on Monday morning the mother-in-law should come and teach the young housewife to make first-class pancakes. But, nevertheless, the tradition of visiting and giving generously remained.

On the first day of Shrovetide, a conspiracy was read that helped get rid of the effects of the evil witch's spell:
“You witches, branded devils, when you count the stars in the sky and grains of sand in the sea, then you can cause harm to me, my home and my people. "

In the old days in Russia, on Shrovetide, they not only walked and had fun, but also wondered.
It was then that the time came to "look into the mouth" of your beloved and find out what the character of your future husband is. It's not for nothing that they say that they choose a husband for pancakes, and a wife for pies.
HUSBAND CHOSE PANCAKES .
Pancakes with caviar are preferred by real men. Such a house will be intact, and a strong household, and his wife and children will be shod and dressed. And here tender words and do not expect kisses from him - all the strength of such a person goes to the household. And in general - love is proved by deeds, not words.
"Intellectuals" eat pancakes with red fish - an almost abusive word in the peasant world. The thoughts and feelings of such a person are too far removed from the sinful earth. Both day and night, these persons soar in the clouds, demanding from their beloved an understanding of their great plans and unrealizable projects. And the fact that the hut looked askance, that the cattle had no hay in store - this is a "low life". Should he, the poet, take care of this ...
Pancakes with cottage cheese are eaten by kind, flexible and kind-hearted people. Such a side will definitely need a boy-woman who will command the house and manage the household. A loving husband with pleasure he will carry out all her commands.
Pancakes with sour cream, despite their deliciousness, are eaten only by persons with a “double bottom”. Such a hubby will agree in everything with the dearest half, and with the dear mother, and with the neighbor Vasya.
He has only one opinion about what is happening - the one he last heard. These people are weak-willed, spineless. They strive to accommodate everyone, to please everyone.
Pancakes with butter husbands are tender and affectionate. True, 100 times a day telling their wife that she is the one and only, and kissing her on the cheek 200 times, they consider their responsibilities to the family fulfilled. They will not prove their love and responsibility to the family by any chores around the house and around the house. But after all, even then to say, deeds are not love, they only interfere with kissing, having mercy and holding on to the handle.
Pancakes with sugar are eaten by lovers of children. The main thing in their love is not the quality of upbringing. single child, a a large number of kids in the house. And his wife will have no time to shoot with her eyes, and it seems that he has proved to everyone around that you are a man. But what to feed and what to wear is the tenth thing.
Pancakes with hard-boiled eggs are eaten by the most unpleasant husbands... And in the company such will sit with his nose hanging, with a sour expression on his face.
And at home it will itch with or without reason. In a word, a bore. There is no great practical harm from such, they fulfill their fatherly and masculine duties. Not at the behest of the soul and heart, but because “it is necessary”, “it is so accepted”. So, in general, you can live with such a treasure even your whole life. But then there will be nothing to remember - neither good nor bad.
But pancakes with jam are loved by “the first guys in the village”. Such a person can escape to the city - “to work”, and visit his widow-neighbor. True, money is found in the house, and he will not leave his wife with attention and affection. And having run into other people's girls, he will still return to the family. That's just this loving wife often meets not with kisses, but with a grip.
CHOSEN WIFE BY PIES.
By the way, about the character future wife can be judged by the kind of pies she treats to the guests.
Large pies - pies and pies - are served by a slightly lazy person.
But the pies are also different.
Big "sandals" are made by greedy girls - they seem to have eaten a pie, but you can't reach for another.
Small, tidy at the hostess who will maintain order in the house, and her character is nice, flexible, respectful to elders.
The girls who have all their thoughts and feelings “written on their faces” bake pies upside down. These girls are frank, sincere, and, in modern terms, most of them are extroverts.
Pies are made with a shovel downward by young ladies as quiet as that pool in which devils are found. He will say “yes”, nod his head, but will do it all the same in his own way. This one can and go on secretly, if only everything was sewn-covered.
Round pies or cheesecakes (with any filling) like to bake housewives (in the very good sense of this word). And over the husband and over the children they will be busy from morning till night. And they are not bad hostesses. But for them to caress their husband in bed is the same as washing a pile of linen or grinding grain.
In general, labor service.
All kinds of pretzels and braids are baked by people who are bright, romantic, but unreliable. Everything in their hands burns, but often burns out. I have just doted on my husband - and now she is swinging with a grasp. Life with this one is an adventure. And not always pleasant.
Triangular pies (like oriental khachapuri) like to make lomaks and imaginals. She just has something to stand out, and what - it does not matter.
But what if you came to visit your beloved, and on the table is a dish with a wide variety of pies?
Console yourself that your sweetheart is a versatile personality, there is a little bit of everything in her and in moderation.
And most importantly, she is a good hostess.
Wednesday - "Lakomka".
On Wednesday you must certainly come to the mother-in-law for pancakes. Moreover, no excuses are accepted! The mother-in-law, in turn, is happy to try for her son-in-law and arranges a rich table on which pancakes with various fillings - caviar, jam, honey. The table should also be rich in drinks and other treats. On this day, the family gathers at the table, praising the mother-in-law and her culinary skills.
Lush tables were laid in all houses. Numerous stalls opened right on the street, selling hot sbitni (drinks made from water, honey and spices), hot nuts, honey gingerbread.
On the third day of Shrovetide, which is celebrated this week, it is customary to treat sons-in-law... At the same time, it used to be quite unprofitable to feed a son-in-law, since, according to tradition, pancakes were baked both small and large, and dairy, and with caviar, and with herring.
As a rule, both unmarried youth and adults are actively involved in skiing from the mountains and on horseback from Wednesday. Only babies and old people who have not left the house do not ride in triplets on Shrovetide.
Whole line Shrovetide customs was aimed at speeding up weddings, promoting single youth to find a mate.
The skating of young couples, according to the ancestors, was supposed to help awaken the earth from winter sleep. The artificial ice mountains symbolized the womb of the earth, in which new life was born.
Young women made a round of the village and hung wooden blocks for overgrown guys because they did not want to marry, and they, in turn, tried to buy them off with sweets and pancakes.
A special attitude was towards those young couples who got married this year: they had to participate in skating, to be shown in best outfits kissing in public.
Thursday - "take a walk"... On this day, it was customary to arrange the famous fist fights, the capture of specially built snow fortresses.
Thursday at Pancake Week was considered the day of veneration of the god Veles (Volos) - the patron saint of livestock. Therefore, on this day, before baking pancakes for the family, they baked pancakes-pancakes for their nurse-cow. Treating a cow with such a pancake, they read prayers and conspiracies.
Thursday was very responsible for the owner, because only on St. Blasius (this Christian saint replaced the god Veles) it was necessary to go round the young horses.
On Thursday wide festivities continue, everyone gives each other gifts, and the children rush to carol. In the city, however, no one really cares about carols, but in the villages and villages this good tradition has been preserved. A scarecrow of Maslenitsa can be carried along the streets, for show. A scarecrow is made of everything that is at hand - straw, old things, holiday decorations... During the festivities, you need to actively and cheerfully sing songs so that everything in the family is good.
Friday is an interesting day. Mother-in-law's day.
The sons-in-law, who actively treated themselves to pancakes at their mother-in-law, should now invite them to their home and set the table. Moreover, the mother-in-law needs to be invited personally, and the more active and affectionate the son-in-law calls out, the more loved he will be.
And to make everything look beautiful and festive, on this day all the relatives of both sides gather, and everyone sees how the son-in-law greets and plentifully treats his beloved mother-in-law.
True, this custom was very peculiar. The curiosity was that the invited mother-in-law had to send everything necessary for baking pancakes to the young people in the evening: a frying pan, a scoop and even a tub in which the dough was kneaded.
A number of Shrovetide customs were aimed at speeding up weddings, helping young people to find a mate.
They did not forget about the sister-in-law.
On Saturday — seeing off, for the sister-in-law's gatherings (the sister-in-law is the husband's sister), the young daughter-in-law invited her husband's relatives to visit her.
It is interesting that the word “sister-in-law” itself, as it was believed, comes from the word “evil”, since the husband's sisters were distrustful and wary of their daughter-in-law (“who came out of nowhere”) - remember, for example, Russian folk tales.
If the sisters-in-law were not yet married, then she invited her unmarried girlfriends... If the husband's sisters were already married, then the daughter-in-law invited the married relatives and took the guests to their sister-in-law with the whole train.
The newlywed daughter-in-law was to present her sister-in-law with gifts.
On Saturday, the ashes of the burnt scarecrows need to be scattered over the fields - for a rich harvest in the fall. On this day, the final farewell to winter takes place and everyone rejoices at the arrival of the new sowing season.
Seventh day - Forgiveness Sunday. On this day, you need to prepare for Great Lent and cleanse your soul and body. It is imperative to bow down and ask everyone for forgiveness. The last Shrovetide fires flare up again, around which people sing songs and burn straw.
On Sunday, they arranged to see off Maslenitsa. Young people in a sleigh with an effigy of Maslenitsa rode around the village and outskirts with songs until nightfall.
Late in the evening, a scarecrow was burned on a fire prepared in the morning. As a rule, the Shrovetide bonfire was kindled by the oldest representatives of the village community or those young people who were “lucky” to “find” a fern flower on the last night at Kupala.
According to legend, it was in it that the life-giving energy of the sun dying for the winter was preserved. Therefore, the Shrovetide bonfire was always built on the very high place near the village, that is, as close as possible to the cosmic luminary, in order to "return" its lost strength to it.
Shrovetide bonfires- this is also a memorial rite, since they served as a kind of invitation for deceased ancestors to a hearty dinner on the eve of Lent.
Happened \ ' coaxing \ 'spirits on whole year forward... And after a straw scarecrow was burned in a fire, the ashes were scattered across the field and trampled into the snow in order to wake up the sleeping earth and restore it the ability of a new generation. A lot of people always gathered around the Shrovetide bonfire, it was fun, songs sounded, games were arranged.
Burning pancakes is a funny tradition of seeing off Shrovetide. It is imperative to throw a pancake into the fire, tell Maslenitsa to leave, and then stain as many others as possible with soot.
Don't forget about your deceased relatives. On Sunday you need to visit their graves and leave pancakes there. And after a hard and have a fun day the final tradition is the bathhouse. In it, you need to steam up from the heart, whip with brooms and meet the Great Lent the next day.
On the last day of Maslenitsa - Sunday- they sat down at the table seven times, according to the number of weeks in Great Lent. And in the evening the whole family had to treat themselves to food of animal origin for the last time before fasting.
After dinner, nothing was removed from the table, everything left was covered with a white tablecloth, and then sheep skin fur up. All this was done so that there were no quarrels and disagreements in the family for a whole year.
On the eve of Great Lent, trying to cleanse themselves from all sinful things, people asked each other for forgiveness.
The ceremony of forgiveness takes place in the evening, after dinner.
Addressing each other, people said:
"Forgive me, please, if I am guilty of anything in front of you."
In some families, the following ceremony was performed on Forgiveness Sunday. In the evening, all family members sat around the table in the house. The head of the family, the father, sat on a separate chair.
Each of the household members present in turn approached the father, bowed at his feet and asked for forgiveness for everything bad deeds in the past year (for insult, incontinence, swearing, disobedience, drinking, malicious acts).
After the youngest in the family asked for forgiveness, everyone took their places, and the father came out in the middle of the house (room), bowed to everyone in the belt and also asked for forgiveness for his sinful actions.
For the same purpose, before sunset that day, they went to the cemetery, left pancakes on the graves and bowed to the ashes of their relatives.
Even on this day, they tried to drink less alcohol.
It was necessary to meet spring with a clear conscience and body, so at the end of Maslenitsa everyone went to the bathhouse.
On Forgiveness Sunday, you must fall asleep before midnight, then in the morning you will easily wake up.
Signs for Shrovetide:
First of all, Maslenitsa is the time of commemoration of the dead. And the first pancakes baked on the Monday of Shrove Tuesday are dedicated to the ancestors. Kneading the dough and baking pancakes should be done in silence, going over the faces of relatives in memory, remembering their words and deeds. The first pancake cannot be eaten: it should be crumbled on the street for birds.
According to the ancient belief, the birds, after eating the food, will fly into heaven and ask the Lord for you and your loved ones. In the evening, gather the whole family for a meal. It will strengthen family bonds and will give you reliable protection ancestors.
Fortune telling on Shrovetide:
Pancake fortune telling can be done by inviting friends. Make different fillings: sweet, salty, spicy, unleavened, put dry beans in a few pancakes. Roll the pancakes and place on a serving platter. Each of those sitting at the table chooses one at a time - the filling will tell you what awaits him. Sweet - to joy, sharp - to stormy life, salty - to serious work, fresh - to life without change. And a bean - to monetary luck.
Another fortune-telling on Shrovetide was carried out not on pancakes, but on a pie: in this way you can find out whether your cherished desire... Bake a pie, cover with a napkin, let cool.
Take a knife, dip it in holy water, wipe it with a napkin that covered the cake, with the words:
“As water comes from a knife, so thinness comes from the house. We eat royal and boyar pies. Pie buddy, give me a vow.
Now sprinkle the cake with holy water and stick a knife into it. If the knife remains straight, it is too early to wait for changes. If it leans in your direction, the wish will come true, if you do not interfere with yourself. If the knife deviates from you straight or to the right, it will not come true. If the knife deviates to your left, everything is fine, wait for your dream to come true. If the knife falls - to failure.

A PURIFICATION RITUAL is performed on Shrove Tuesday Sunday.
This ritual is done to return happiness, to correct karma.
It is not necessary for a healer to perform this rite, it can take on the patient's karma.
It is better when everyone makes it to themselves.
Take the paper and write down what worries you the most: bad deeds, illnesses, attitudes towards the world and people ... In a word, what you would like to get rid of. Roll the sheet into a tube and cut into 3 equal parts.
Prepare protective circles from Thursday salt and holy water (there is a distance of 30 cm between them).
In front of the circle of salt you read "Our Father", then you cross this circle and stand in front of the circle of holy water.
You read the prayers "Virgin Mary, Rejoice" and "Guardian Angel" and cross the water circle.
There should be 4 lighted candles in front of you in the last circle.
Read Psalm 90 and take turns burning 3 parts of the leaf, when they burn, say "Hallelujah!" 40 times.
Then - the obligatory observance of a 3-day fast and a visit to the church, where you have to put 12 candles to any icons in one parish.
CLEAN MONDAY.
After Maslenitsa was over, the peasants went to the bathhouse - ahead was "Clean Monday," the first day of Lent.
The last echo of the holiday is the Saturday of Great Lent. On this day, it was customary to "celebrate Maslenitsa": to bake lean pancakes with hemp or sunflower oil.
After that, Shrovetide fun finally died out.

And long ago it was celebrated on a day vernal equinox, to which many peoples accounted for New Year... The essence of this holiday is renewal. The old, decrepit was dying, people celebrated a feast on it and welcomed the beginning of a new life cycle... It is no coincidence that the main dish on Maslenitsa is pancakes: it was this food of the Slavs that was memorial.
By the way, even in Christian times, it is customary to dedicate the first pancake baked for Shrovetide to the dead. It is relatively recently - in the 19th century - that the scientists of the so-called "mythological school" invented that a pancake was a symbol of the sun among the Slavic peoples. Nothing like this. Pancakes were treated at the commemoration. In the case of Cheese Week, the commemoration was celebrated over a dying year.
It was also customary to refer to the patronage and protection of ancestors - after all, they were already in the Kingdom of the Dead, where the past went. And the birth of a new year, the beginning of a new spring 
meant renewal of the fertile cycle of mother earth.
Our ancestors also associated human fertility with the fertility of the land, so on Maslenitsa there were bridesmaids, conspiracies, joint festivities of guys and girls. And family people honored relatives in every possible way: mother-in-law - sons-in-law and matchmakers, daughters-in-law - mother-in-law with father-in-law and sister-in-law. Unmarried girls charmed love, luring the betrothed; kind hostesses performed rituals for prosperity and well-being, protection of the house from adversity.

The festivities last a whole week, always starting on Monday. Shrovetide conspiracies are special magic power... With their help, you can attract various benefits into your life, get rid of bad habits and cleanse your home of negativity.
The beginning of the festivities
The first day of Shrovetide week is popularly called “meeting”. It is believed that it is on this day that winter meets spring. In the evening, on the eve of the holiday, as soon as the first asterisk appears in the sky, the oldest representative of the fair sex in the house should go to the pond or krynitsa and ask for a month to blow on the dough:
"Look out the window for a month, show your golden horns, blow on the dough."
You can't eat the first pancake on Monday. It should be taken out on the porch and laid as a delicacy for dead souls. When putting a pancake on the porch, you need to say:
“Relatives from the other world, we are waiting for your greetings, here we have left the first pancake for you.”
On the first day of Shrove Tuesday, it is customary for the newlyweds to travel around the village in beautiful, carved sleighs and visit everyone who was at their wedding festivities. Also on Monday they made a straw effigy, clothed it in women's clothing and sledged all over the settlement. A conspiracy read on the first Monday after the oil week will help to double your cash receipts, you should come to the place where the largest festivities and find some money there.
Having picked up a coin, read the conspiracy:
“(His name) did not walk on the ground for a long time, he found the money. As I went to them, so let them now go into my hands by themselves. How many people were here for Shrovetide, so much may I have money. "
On Monday, we read Shrovetide conspiracies that protect against the witch's evil eye:
"A witch, a witch, a branded devil, how not to drink all the water from the reservoirs of the world, how not to gnaw all the trees on the ground, you cannot ruin my life, damage my house and harm my relatives."
The ritual can be performed outdoors, looking up at the starry sky.
Fortune telling
Tuesday is popularly called "flirting". On this day, the future husband was chosen over pancakes. According to the preferences of gourmets, it was possible to find out what the character of a man is and decide whether to associate his life with him:
- prefers real pancakes with caviar strong man, who has a harmony in the household and his children-wife are always dressed like candy;
- pancakes with red fish are preferred by an intelligent guy, they did not appreciate such people in Russia, because they are not accustomed to living in the village, they have only higher goals yes spiritual world on the mind, but they are not accustomed to earthly affairs;
- pancakes with cottage cheese are loved by flexible, gentle men who need a woman commander nearby so that they can unquestioningly carry out her commands;
- people who try to please everyone like pancakes with sour cream, they always agree with everyone, do not have their own opinion;
- butter pancakes put tender, gentle men, ideal in relationships, but not in household chores, because besides talking about their love, they can do nothing more;
- pancakes with eggs can only be eaten the most unpleasant person, in a simple bore, he performs all duties only on a knurled basis, but he is not enough for more, he always grumbles, not cheerful;
- loving guys love pancakes with jam, such a man will have time to do everything at home, to provide for his family, and to run to his neighbor to the left.
How to remove negativity
A cleansing ritual with a Shrovetide conspiracy was held on Monday. For the ceremony, you need to collect clean snow in a large basin. The basin, along with the snow, should be brought into the house and wiped off completely from head to toe, rubbing carefully. During this procedure, conspiracies should be read all the time:
“Come out, pour out all corruption and malice from my body. Let the icy snow flow down with water and wash away all slander and other people's evil slander. All angels and archangels drive away corruption from me. Amen".
From what remains in the basin, a snow man should be fashioned. Draw his eyes, mouth and nose. Next, you need to write your name backwards on the snowman and read this conspiracy 33 times:
“Whoever caused the damage, took it back, but could not return it. I never do anything bad to anyone and do not wish, and the one who does not live according to honor, let him himself receive retribution for his evil. "
When the snowman melts, the water should be poured out at the intersection, away from your house, on the same evening, do not leave the used liquid in the house overnight.
How to protect yourself from envious people
An envious person is a deeply unhappy person who cannot find his place in life, therefore he envies every little thing. Negative energy they are poured out on everyone around, often from such a flow one can suffer greatly. When a person is envied, he starts to get sick, fails after failure. To protect themselves from such influences, a special spell is read on the last day of Shrovetide.
“Higher powers, I hope for your favor, I ask for protection. As I will walk along the path, neither envious nor enemies will meet me on the way. On the narrow path I will only meet friends, I welcome them to my home. All my paths are clean, there are no pebbles on them, no swampy swamps, no deep holes. "
For greater efficiency, you should cast the spell three times.
How to lure money into the house
To perform the ritual, you will need snow collected from the intersection. For snow, you need to put a golden penny at the crossroads to pay off. At home, light a green lamp and start casting a spell over the snow.
“As the snow melted in the field, the water increased in the river. As I (name) went along the path, wherever I went, they can't give me a refusal anywhere, they offer work everywhere. I will choose a business to my liking, but it’s profitable but okay I’ll cope with it ”.
As the snow melts, you need to wash your face with water and pour the rest of the liquid through the window onto the street.
A spell to instruct the walking husband on the true path
The ritual is held on the last day of the oil week. If your husband walks on other women or looks at other people's skirts, read this spell over the pancake dough:
“As I ate pancakes, but went out the door, I could not step back. The green longing for home and his wife immediately overpowered him. As he looks at others, so let him now only look at the lawful spouse, he does not know life without her, but does not turn his head around. "
Pancakes need to be made from the charmed dough. Make tea for the pancakes, or even better, put your beloved alcoholic beverage, on which you should also, in advance, read the conspiracy:
“As I tasted the drink, I noticed my wife again. Now others will not be seen everywhere, only I have sunk into my heart and soul forever, so I stayed there, that's all free place I got my hands on it. "
Dryer for husband
With the beginning Maslenitsa week they start making pancakes every day. So on the second day of the festivities, the first pancake should be eaten by itself, the second should be fed to the birds, and on the third, read the hex:
“As melancholy walked, tossed about, so I got into a pancake in this one. Whoever eats it now will dry up for me (name). "
This pancake must be eaten by your husband. The very next day you will notice how his behavior and attitude towards you will change. With this ritual, you can revive old passion or return the feelings of a husband who was about to leave.
Protective spells
From our ancestors, many signs and conspiracies have come to us, which correspond to the days of the celebration of the carnival. Magic these days is very strong, it is a sin not to use it for the good of the family. Some of them are successfully used in modern life.
- On Monday, they make a talisman for prosperity and satiety: under the pan in which the dough is kneaded for pancakes, you should fold a handful of coins and read the corresponding plot, after which the coins should be hidden and kept in the house until the next butter dish.
- On the second day, conspiracies are read that will help ward off death and illness from the house. At night, it is customary to put a treat to the housekeeper and ask him for protection and help.
- On the third day, you need to hang a broom at the doorstep and read the following words: "Do not let witchcraft into the house, drive away witches from the doorway."
- On Thursday they read a conspiracy for peace and harmony in the family. In a jug of milk, you should put as many grains of wheat as there are people in your family and say: "just as the grains in the jug do not crowd and push, so peace in my family is peace".
