The impure force loves crossroads

In the popular true stories (stories about the real incident) often refers to incidents with the evil spirit in rozstani. The archaic word "rosstan" means the intersection of the paths, the crossroads.

According to folklorist of Orange: "the Meeting happened at midnight."

Maximov said: "Crossroads is a favorite place of evil forces".

One of the informants folklorist Zinoviev warned: "it is Impossible to rastani to go to bed!". And then gave a terrible incident from his own sad practice nights at intersections.

In another Siberian bilicki said: "On rozstani roads will fall — kicked out, not allowed to sleep".

The theme of miracles, things happening at the intersections of forest roads or steppe, is one of the most popular topics beleckogo folklore. Rostani, if you believe the popular rumor, supposedly another good day to improve his failing health. According to legends, crossroads — the habitat of evil forces — has around him, speaking in modern language, a specific energy background.

"Other Rostang at midnight, sometimes, preventive". In modern language this statement translated, it's the middle of the night radiates from itself, "preventiva". It was from this mysterious "force" emanating at night from the intersection, you can say little stories, to benefit for yourself to "get" the "power."

Afanasyev reported suffering from night blindness Russian peasants who went at midnight to Rostang and sat there, hoping to see the light. Russian peasants for centuries have tried repeatedly to identify, to detect any system in the "healing work" of rozstani. Alas, the system was not found; not found it to this day. Rosstan "works" on the principle of roulette. Sometimes, it instantaneously cures night blindness. Or, another example, infertility in women the night the first visit it "preparepage crossroads". And sometimes, recovery from a particular disease occurs only after the tenth, or even one hundred and tenth visit rostani. But most often "sitting on rostani" came to nothing — they do not affect the well-being seated.

Is it because it happens that not all have the patience to come back here night after night, week after week, month after month in the hope that one night Rostang suddenly might well "work"? Maximov described method suchasnogo mockery of the evil spirit.

"This is just to go with the Easter egg at a crossroad and rolling the egg along the road at midnight". Devils from the ground with fright and jumps out. They begin to writhe. Stand in silence on the spot and look at them cramps; you posetivshego egg, the devils won't notice if you don't move.

Have Maksimova and other description contact experiments of rural youth in rozstani. New year's eve guys and girls are going to the crossroads on divination. "Sit down, — says Maksimov, — here in a circle, draw yourself a circle, are covered with white linen tablecloth and tensely listened to the silence of cold winter nights". This type of divination has long been designated in the Russian true stories with the term "listen to rostani". Guys and girls — here's another old idiom — "go listen".

From century to century, it was popular belief in the Russian people believed that rastani — especially if it "preventive"! — you can hear a voice coming directly from the ground. This voice will tell the fortune-teller about his future. The whole point of divination in rostani, in fact, was to try to gain futurological information.

There are a variety of methods of divination. Among them there are such, from which the hair stand on end. For example, messages about the divination method of "lying cross" at midnight at the intersection of forest roads in a circle outlined with a wooden stick. Well try to lie all night on the damp ground in the darkness of night in the deep woods, momentarily expecting that there will be something out of the ordinary...

Among other things, "lying down with the cross" is not just lying, and the procedure, which should "bring evil." Famous historical precedents when people who went to sleep on rozstani method "lying cross", was discovered dead in the morning. To read little stories about the "lying cross" an idle fiction of the mind, human fantasies, now past the main in them a striking similarity of a reference signal such true stories, rasskazyvaetsya in the countryside practically on the whole territory of Russia, from the White sea to the Far East. Circumstances getting in touch with rostagno different. The essence of the contact, the technology is one and the same.

And here's the important part. Every time in the bilicki says: "It was with me. There was-and then some", that is, the dependence of real life here, in my opinion, elementary video. Therefore, the true stories imprinted real life experience.
