February 4 – check the bins

February 4 in the folk calendar is Timothy’s Day. On this day, they again began to audit stocks – they calculated how long they would last and whether it was time to start saving or to trade in surpluses. In particularly prosperous households, such calculations stretched over several days.

On Timothy Day, girls rode down ice or snow slides, using their spinning wheels instead of sleds – it was believed that the one who traveled the farthest would have the most flax for yarn this year.

It is better to postpone any repair or preparatory work for it for a few days – according to popular belief, not only people, but also the brownie at this time is auditing everything on the farm. And if you confuse him, he can begin to harm the owners of the home.

Father-in-law on this day should not interfere in the affairs of the son’s family – otherwise he will be under his wife’s heel.

Also, according to popular beliefs, you don’t need to have parties and walk until the morning on this day, otherwise unpleasant and confusing situations may arise in the near future, from which it will be difficult to get out. When leaving the house, you need to cross the threshold with your left foot – otherwise there will be continuous problems until the end of winter. You can not cut your nails and hair – to failures in your personal life. It is better not to spy on other people, not to look into other people’s windows – so that other people’s problems do not become yours.

Also, this is not the best day for transplanting indoor flowers.

Folk signs on February 4 are as follows:

– if the sky is clear – by early spring;

– if snow sticks to trees and poles – to warming;

– if a blizzard swirled – snowfalls will last a week.

Dreams that occurred on the night of February 5 can help in matters of the heart – a dream can tell you how to find a soul mate, how to behave in order to resolve problems in a couple or improve family life.
