Folk signs: November 6 – light a torch and sing a song

November 6 in the folk calendar – Svetets. There is a version that it is called so because from that day evening maiden gatherings for needlework were usually held. The room where the gatherings took place was often illuminated by burning torches, which were installed in a special device – a light.

Today, girls’ gatherings do not have to be done at needlework and in the dark. Although you can arrange a candlelit party. An important condition is not to sit in silence. So going to karaoke or a concert can be a good alternative. Moreover, if you believe the signs, it is better to spend this day in the company and with musical accompaniment – this helps to ward off evil spirits.

Also, according to popular belief, this day is good for marriage. But only if both the groom and the bride are not too jealous. Otherwise, it is better to postpone the wedding to another time, otherwise raging passions and distrust in the future can destroy the family.

Of the everyday signs in Svettsy, the main ones were: if you remove cockroaches on this day, you can forget about the mustachioed scourge for a long time; broken dishes, contrary to the usual, – unfortunately; if you give someone your things that you cover yourself with (a scarf, a blanket, a blanket, etc.), you can give away your luck; if you buy shoes that someone has worn or tried on before you, you can adopt his troubles and problems.

Natural signs on November 6 are as follows:

– if the weather is abnormally warm – and the winter will be warm;

– at sunset, the clouds covered the sky – there will be snowfall;

– if a white dog follows you – soon life will become happy and carefree;

– if the dog is overgrown with thick fur after molting, the winter will be cold;

– if you fall into a hole on this day – to a long life.

If you want to get an answer to a question that concerns you, ask it before going to bed – a dream that occurred that night can give an answer to it. Having coped with problems in a dream, you can do it in life.
