Why coals fall out of the furnace. The coals fell out of the oven

Sweep, sweep, but don’t take it out of the hut, but rake it under the bench and put it in the oven so that the smoke will take it out

We continue the theme of furnace folklore. This time let's talk about signs and superstitions.

A pot of porridge in the oven cracked - not good. A pot of porridge is one of the symbols of well-being in the house. The respectful attitude towards the pot in the oven is further enhanced by the fact that it is round and hot (echoes of the deification of the Sun). With the help of a stove pot (as well as a broom), they were transferred from the old dwelling to the new brownie. The stove pot was also often used in divination, to communicate with the souls of the dead.

The bread in the oven split in two - to the departure of one of the household. This refers to the detachment of a part of the loaf from the whole. Bread is a symbol of the unity of the family: they say about someone who is outside the family: "a cut piece." And according to the association "bifurcation of the loaf - split of the family" they make the assumption that someone can leave.

Porridge comes out of the pot to the exit of the oven - this is unfortunate, but if to the far wall - to abundance. Despite the fact that this belief contains three symbols at once (porridge, pot, oven), its essence is quite simple, because it is based on an external comparison: to the exit from the furnace means to the exit from the house, and to the wall means there will be more in the house, there will be abundance. At the mystical level, this is interpreted as the deeds of the spirits living in the furnace: they push food out or leave it for themselves, thereby expressing favor.

Do not clean the house when the bread is in the oven - there will be no prosperity. During the baking of bread, it was forbidden to leave the house, and even make noise. All this is due to the fact that bread was treated as a living (spiritualized) being. If you leave the house, the bread will be offended that it was left alone. And the noise can scare him. As for cleaning, it's just an insult to bread! At the household level, the belief is interpreted as useful and rational: do not do several things at once - none will succeed. Especially as difficult as baking bread, which requires the constant presence of the hostess at the oven.

A brick fell out of the oven - do not wait for good. This is due to the attitude to the stove as one of the most important symbols of the house. The stove in the minds of the people is not only warmth and hot food, but also a place through which the house is connected to the outside world (we remember stories about witches flying out of the chimney). Previously, they also slept on the stove, so dreams and the image of the stove were also combined. The fallen brick violates the integrity of the furnace as the boundary between the house and the open world. Through the resulting hole, evil spirits, the soul of the deceased, illness, sent damage, etc. can enter the house. Some beliefs associate the fallen brick with the penetration of the mythical fire serpent into the house. It seems that everyday meaning is also hidden in this, since we are talking about the increasing possibility of a fire.

Buzzed in the chimney - the soul of the deceased is tormented. It was believed: if you close the stove damper, then the connection of the house with the outside world stops. This means that the soul that wanted to visit the house remained in the chimney and suffers there, howling. In this case, you need to pray for the dead.

The stove was closed with a damper when someone went on the road. This was done so that home conversations about him would not fly out the pipe and would not be heard by "strangers".

The house is warm, and the cat lies on the stove - to be frost. If a cat hides its head under its belly - to frost. If a cat sleeps in a ball in the summer - to close bad weather. - Numerous signs associated with a cat and foreshadowing this or that weather are based on the fact that the cat is very sensitive to weather changes and can anticipate them. The craving for warmth before a cold snap in cats remained even after the disappearance of stoves. If you carefully observe, you will see that before the frost, the cat lies on a steam heating battery: it seems to be gaining heat for the period of cold weather. So, it makes sense to take into account folk signs, in which a causal relationship is clearly visible.

To bewitch a guy, you need to take the damper from the stove, pour grains on it and feed the rooster. This is due to the attraction of the magical symbols of the house: the rooster symbolizes fertility (its masculine principle), repels evil spirits; stove - a symbol of the hearth; grains are a symbol of life and prosperity. Feeding the rooster, the girl says: "As the damper keeps its mouth, so the rooster keeps at home, and my fiance - me." There are a great many such charms, conspiracies, fortune-telling.

The matchmaker warms her hands by the stove before starting negotiations on the wedding - otherwise there will be no sense in collusion. The sign goes back to the belief that the souls of the dead live in the oven. Warming his hands, the matchmaker, as it were, welcomes them. Although, if you think about it, a person who came from a frost (and there were reservations when it was late autumn outside) really does not interfere with warming up - then things will go better. Moreover, the matchmaker had to stand all the time, she was forbidden to sit. The matchmaker was usually greeted with the chorus "Oh, Lada, Lada!", which called for help the ancient Russian goddess Lada, the patroness of love and marriages. Since that time, they say: "get on with the wedding", "get along in the family."

A newly acquired cat should be poked with its muzzle into the stove damper. In order for the cat to know the house of the new owner, you should wash the paws of the cat brought into the house on the stove damper, while saying: "Just as the damper does not leave the stove, so do not leave the house."

During the marriage, the young had to go around the stove three times, so the groom thanked that hearth for giving him a wife and taking her to his own, asking the fire and ancestors for health and children. When the wedding was over, they threw an empty pot into the oven and said, “How many shards, so many young guys.” This is where the custom of breaking glasses came from.

The stove was a symbol of peace and tranquility, it was impossible to swear or express yourself in front of her. Now we say: "Hush: there are children or ladies here"; and then they said: “The oven is in the hut!” If you were allowed into the house and arranged on the floors, then you became a friend and practically a member of the family: they did not expect evil from you and did not plot evil for you

Returning from the funeral, touch the stove with your hand - so that there is no new dead in the house for a long time. This sign is connected with the fact that the furnace is directly connected with the element of Fire. Old people say that if you hold on to the stove after the cemetery, then you will burn all the bad omens in the bud. Therefore, it is imperative that after you return from the funeral, if you do not hold on to the stove, you never know, maybe there is no stove, then be sure to light a candle. A candle is also a fire that can burn all negative energies.

Unfortunately, not all signs could be explained and interpreted.

You can’t sit with your back to the stove, otherwise the brownie will be offended.
If someone has “cats scratching” in their souls or if their conscience is not clear, you just need to warm your hands by the stove.
If someone from the household left his nest for a long time, then the stove was closed with a damper so that he was lucky on the way.
While bread is baking in the oven, do not sit on the oven - the bread will be thin
If the stove sweats - to the tears of the hostess
The firewood in the oven fell apart - to the guests.
Scatter ashes - to a quarrel
The gruel in the oven blushes - in summer to rain, in winter - to snow
Red fire in the furnace - to frost; white - to the thaw.
Put the stove on the new moon - it will be warmer.
The fire in the furnace went out - an unexpected guest.
Burnt coal on a torch crumbles - to frost
If someone carries firewood for the stove and one log falls - be guests, then the same if the smut falls out of the stove by itself. If a burning coal falls out - to an angry guest.
If there is some rustling or ringing in the pipe, there will be a trial over a trifle.
Putting firewood in the oven with wits forward - to a quarrel. Peasants in Rus' kept a smut after a fire as a means of protection against re-ignition of a dwelling.
When bread is baking, do not sweep the hut: you will sweep the ergot

The dream in which you kindle the stove portends a trip to distant lands, which will be fraught with the risk of losing your fiancé, who, during your absence, can easily be intercepted by rivals.

Seeing a burning stove speaks of a close interweaving in your destiny of material interests and the desire for spiritual self-improvement. Warming up by the stove, having come from a strong cold, means that you will soon find out a bunch of news that has accumulated during your long absence.

Drying by the stove, getting wet in heavy rain - in the near future visit a sick person to whom you owe a lot in your life and career. A red-hot metal potbelly stove portends disappointing information about the progress of your business partners.

A tiled stove means that you will experience a feeling of disappointment due to unfulfilled expectations. Burning yourself on the stove means that you will learn with joyful surprise that you are owed a large amount of money.

A cold stove portends a useless business. A beautiful tiled stove in an old mansion you dreamed about portends a severe punishment for a serious act.

Breaking an old stove in a dream means an early and too hasty marriage, which will lead to an equally hasty divorce. If in a dream you put a new stove in your home or in the country - this is to receive money, which will turn out to be less than you expected to receive.

Oven - signs, superstitions, customs.

The stove is the heart of the house, its center is both logical and magical! It is not for nothing that stove walls and pipes often remain from ancient houses; it is not for nothing that in some areas the stove was laid before the log house itself. From here, life-giving warmth spread from the center, food was prepared here, children, the elderly, the sick and women in childbirth sought protection from illnesses and bad weather here! Many unique customs are associated with the Russian oven.

The whole life of a person, one way or another, was connected with the house and the stove, and it was here that he was protected by ancestors and household spirits, one of the most common personifications of which was the brownie. He kept the house, helped the rightful owners and punished the negligent, warned of troubles and kept the hearth. Different nationalities attributed different habitats to him, but they all agreed that the most favorite place in the hut was the stove, he could live on the stove, behind it in the podpech or in the golbets. In the Tambov region, a treasury was attached for him, where he could not lie down himself, put bread or a cross. In the Novgorod province, sleeping on the stove should only be across, so as not to interfere with the owner, who rested along. Near the stove, behind it or in it, treats were left for the housewife: porridge, bread and salt, milk, honey. Like any zealous owner, grandfather kept not only the hut, but the whole yard and everyone who inhabited this yard. Note that the word "bake" has a second meaning - to care or worry. Therefore, pushing a pot of porridge into the cage, the Smolensk peasants asked: “Hostess, father, take bread and salt, drive a cattle,” and in the northern provinces they were echoed a little differently: “House-grandfather, poi everyone, feed the sheep, okay, okay, but the smooth surface and smooth them softly. If one of the household or cattle disappeared, it was necessary to open the dampers in the chimney and shout the name of the loss into the furnace so that the brownie smoke would fly out of the chimney and return him or them. Leaving old housing for various reasons, people tried to take "happiness" with them, for this they, in the simplest version, took coals from the old hearth and transferred them to a new one with the words "you are welcome, grandfather, to new housing." Sometimes, for the same purpose, a well-worn bast shoe was stuffed under the stove or into the stove and they said: "Brownie-Brownie, get in the sleigh - ride with us!"

Of considerable importance was the stove in many other rituals that were not directly related to the house and the house, but which were of great importance for the Slavic family and well-established life, the mother stove passed through a person’s whole life and participated in all its important milestones. So, if at the time of the birth of a child the fire burned evenly, then the child should have been calm and healthy. If the stove is not in order, then the baby will be sloppy and snotty. And if the fire goes out, then the child will grow up evil and worthless, or even a criminal. Ukrainians talk about those who are distinguished by extraordinary luck: "I was born at the stove." In some Slavic families, it was even customary to “bake” a baby if he was born weak and premature: he was wrapped in dough or in a mother’s shirt and stuffed into the oven on a bread shovel, so they symbolically killed both the disease and the sickest child in order to revive him already healthy.

When a matchmaker came to the girl’s house, she stretched out her hands to the stove, purifying herself with fire and calling him to help herself, and the beauty herself hid from matchmakers on the stove, and only her consent to go down from there meant that she would change her father’s house to her husband’s house.

During the marriage, the young had to go around the stove three times, so the groom thanked that hearth for giving him a wife and taking her to his own, asking the fire and ancestors for health and children. When the wedding was over, they threw an empty pot into the oven and said, “How many shards, so many young guys.” This is where the custom of breaking glasses came from.

If someone from the household left his nest for a long time, then the stove was closed with a damper so that he was lucky on the way.

The stove was a symbol of peace and tranquility, it was impossible to swear or express yourself with it. Now we say: "Hush: there are children or ladies here"; and then they said: “The oven is in the hut!” If you were allowed into the house and arranged on the floor, then you became a friend and practically a member of the family: no harm was expected from you and no harm was planned for you.

Even in death, the stove remained with its household members. If longing for the departed crushed with a heavy burden, then one should open the damper, sweep away the rubbish and say: "Litter in the oven, and longing from the shoulders." So that the souls of the deceased ancestors could see their descendants on the day of the commemoration, the chimney was kept open, and refreshments were often left on the stove itself. In Ukraine and Belarus, when bread was taken out of the oven, a couple of logs were put in its place in order to “go through hell” in the next world.

Almost all northern peoples knew how to stack stoves in their homes. One of the countries with a developed and centuries-old tradition of stove heating can be called Finland, and indeed all Finnish peoples. A feature of Finnish stoves has always been that since ancient times, not man-made bricks were used for their construction, but natural natural material: talc-magnesite or talc-chlorite, the “folk” names of which speak of it more clearly “oven” or “fiery” stone. So the ovens have firmly entered the culture and life of all Finnish and related peoples. So they also had their own brownie or "owner of the stove", who also took care of the house and the people who lived there. The Vepsians believed that he often appeared in the form of a large mouse, living mainly behind the stove, and they threw out the milk teeth of their children there with the words: with the words: “Mouse-mouse! You're wearing a wooden one, give me a bone one!" The same Vepsians washed a newborn in a hut on a hearth near the stove, adding charms to the water: coal, salt, spoons, cobwebs, wood chips, a pig's snout, a comb or bread to bring the baby into the house and protect it from the evil eye, spoilage and diseases. Then the mother-in-law brought her grandson to the stove or put him for a short time on the hearth in order to introduce him to the ancient family shrine and give him under the protection of the spirit of fire. Karelians did the same with newborns, but they laid stillborn babies on the hearth of the stove, washing them, wrapping them in a rag and placing them inside the largest bast shoes. And the Vepsians, and the Karelians and the Finns, the bride, saying goodbye to the house, was sitting by the stove. Here they sacrificed a ribbon-will from her hair to the “pyachin izhand” (spirits of the hearth), burning it on the coals of the fire. Returning from a funeral or just a cemetery, representatives of the Finnish tribes touched the stove with their palms, informing the owners of the stove that they had buried a relative and were gathering together for a memorial meal. The fire in the box was constantly maintained, it protected the whole family from diseases and misfortunes, but at Christmas it was “renewed”, producing a flame by rubbing the barn grates against each other. Just like in Russia, in Finland, some echoes of the ancient way of life have survived to this day, for example, on New Year's Eve, the Finns tell fortunes on tin, which is heated in a special ladle in a fireplace, stove or simply on a stove, and then poured into a bucket of snow or water. By the shape of the ingot, its surface or structure, they predict what awaits them in the new year.

Many more unique customs, signs, conspiracies and superstitions are associated with Russian and Finnish stoves. More details with many of them can be found in the books of Solovyov, Fedotov, Semenova and many others. And in one of the following topics we will talk a little about the healing power of a real stove.

The stove in Rus' warms, feeds, illuminates, washes, dries, heals, predicts the weather and conjures frost.

Scientists calculate the age of the ancestor of the Russian stove by many millennia. For the first time, man placed fire under a clay vault back in the Stone Age. In Rus', adobe vaulted ovens were built in the 10th-11th centuries, and they acquired their familiar, traditional look by the 18th century.

Starting to build a hut, they first determined where to put the stove, and only after that did the layout of the rest of the premises. From here came the famous proverbs and sayings: "Dance from the stove" and "The peasant is quick-witted - he put a hut on the stove." The stove was built on the floor of a massive log house - a guardianship, and under it they left an empty place - an under-furnace. All the oven utensils were kept on guardianship: tongs, pokers, shovels for baking bread. In winter, chickens were planted in the undergrowth so that they warmed themselves and better laid eggs.

Why were children put in a Russian oven

Russian stoves were traditionally built on a large scale, the main household activities were concentrated around them and family vacations took place. The stove not only warmed and cooked - it had enough space to steam. Washing in the ovens was preferred by young girls, who were afraid of "bathing evil spirits." Since ancient times, it was believed that furnace steam heals from many diseases. No wonder they said: any ailment will unhook if you warm your bones in the oven. Our ancestors scooped out coals and ash from the heated stove, and then put sick children on shovels in the furnace to warm up. Furnace ash in Rus' was an indispensable component of ointments and decoctions.

Interesting fact:
The stove and ashes in the villages were used for laundry. The woman put the laundry in a cast-iron pot filled with water, lowered a bag of ashes into it and put it in the oven. After boiling with dark gray ash, the linen became not only snow-white, but also more durable.

The villagers were able to predict the weather by the stove. There was a whole set of folk signs, according to which the peasants noticed various details, and then interpreted their meaning.

If the firewood in the stove burns with a bang, it will be frost, and if with a buzzing noise, wait for a snowstorm.

Firewood burns sluggishly or goes out - a thaw will come in the coming days.

The firewood in the stove flares up well and burns with a slight crackle, and the smoke from the chimney rises - a sure sign of a sunny and calm day.

The smoke bends like a yoke and spreads along the ground - confirmation of the upcoming bad weather.

The real test for the stoves was the hard frosts of mother winter - Nikolsky, Christmas, Vasilyevsky or Epiphany. At this time, it became clear whether the stove keeps heat long enough and how much heat the prepared firewood gives. The chimney also played an important role. The warmth and purity of the air in the house depended on whether the valves and dampers were open or closed in it. If you open the damper - the fumes and smoke will disappear, if you close it - you will keep warm longer.

Typically, oven walls are 25–40 centimeters thick, and due to this, good heat storage is created and a thermos effect occurs. The advantage of a real Russian stove is in the even distribution of heat. Even in the most severe frost, it can maintain heat in the hut throughout the day from one fire.

To protect winter crops and fruit trees from freezing with the help of an open chimney or portage window, the peasants traditionally performed the rite of the frost spell.

“An old man or the eldest man in the family would climb onto the stove with a wooden spoon filled with jelly, stick his head through the portage window and say: “Frost! Freezing! Come eat kissel. Freezing! Freezing! Don't beat our oats, flax and hemp into the ground. When, having closed the window, the old man began to get down from the stove, the eldest woman in the house suddenly poured water on him so that the curse died on his lips. It was believed that after such a treat, the frost became kind and went home.

Gennady Fedotov in the book "Russian stove"
