February 3 – talk to the birch

February 3 in the folk calendar is Maxim’s Day. This is a good time to repay kindness. You can remember with a kind word those who once helped you in life. Even better is to thank these people personally, and not only in words, but also in deeds.

Those who were tormented by an insoluble problem, on this day went for help to … a birch. It was believed that if you lean against it and tell what worries you, you can get an answer to your questions and help in resolving the situation. And also, according to popular beliefs, birch helped get rid of a headache if you hug a tree by touching it with your forehead.

Also, our ancestors believed that the good done on Maximov’s day would definitely return. But if you refuse to help a person, you can incur troubles, including financial ones.

It was customary to bake pies with various fillings and treat them to relatives, guests, neighbors and those who beg for alms. You can’t leave anyone hungry on this day, and even if there isn’t a lot of food in the house, you should try to feed each family member, and at least give the guest a drink of tea with bagels or cookies. Otherwise, things can get to the point that you yourself will have to live from hand to mouth.

Unmarried girls tried to share bread with another person – according to signs, if this is done, then you can soon meet your betrothed.

It was believed that Maximov’s day is good for reconciliation. They believed that people who reconciled on this day in the future will always be able to find a common language, and the relationship between them will become trusting.

If an important meeting fell through on February 3, you should not worry, but rejoice. So, it could lead to trouble, and you were saved from the problems and misfortunes that this meeting promised.

However, you should not ignore calls, messages and other attempts of other people to contact you – you can miss something very important.

You can’t laugh at other people’s failures of other people and spread rumors – otherwise you yourself will soon become the object of ridicule and gossip. You can’t swear and quarrel, especially for lovers and married couples – you will lose your happiness.

Natural signs on February 3 are as follows:

– if during the day the sky is cloudless, and the sunset is red – to frost;

– if this day is frosty, but without precipitation – August will be hot;

– if the day is fine and sunny – spring will be early and warm.

Dreams that are dreamed on the night of February 4 are often prophetic, especially if they are bright, clear, realistic and well remembered.
