February 10 – roll up your sleeves

February 10 in the folk calendar – Ephraim – cricket intercessor. In general, not the best day for those who honor folk signs, but suffer from insects in the house – today it is impossible to harm any insects. It is believed that otherwise the brownie, which protects all the living creatures in the house, including crickets, spiders and cockroaches, can get angry and start playing dirty tricks.

But, according to signs, on this day any household work will be argued, whether it is cleaning, washing, ironing, cooking or mending clothes. And one more thing: if on the eve it was impossible to look in the mirror for a long time, then today – admire yourself to your health: it is believed that this will only add to your beauty.

But if you manage carelessly, swear and scandal – expect problems. The brownie can make it so that everything will literally fall out of hand, the food will boil and burn, the necessary things will disappear, and garbage and dirt will appear in the most unexpected places.

If someone fell ill that day, it was believed that these were also tricks of the brownie.

To appease the “owner of the house”, they left a plate of treats for him in a secluded corner in the kitchen or behind the stove and invited him to a meal.

Folk signs on February 10 are as follows:

– if the wind is buzzing in the chimney – to a cold snap;

– if the fire in the furnace is red in the evening, there will be no snowfall at night;

– if the forest seems to have turned black – to a thaw.

Dreams that are dreamed on the night of February 11 must be judged by the nature of the dream. If the dream is terrible – your strength is running out, health problems may begin. A good dream suggests that everything you have planned will come true.
