Andron Stargazer: what not to do on October 25 and what signs work on this day

On the day of Andron the Stargazer, according to popular beliefs, there are strict prohibitions. So, it is forbidden to sweep the floor with a simple broom - you can sweep out happiness and luck from the house. The broom on this day you need to tie a white ribbon and surround them with all the corners to attract wealth and love to the house.

You can not engage in heavy physical work – otherwise, according to signs, you can “punish” yourself with even more difficult and exhausting work in the future. Do not laugh loudly: this, according to legend, can cause great misfortune. You cannot hurt anyone, otherwise the offender will lose happiness; it is forbidden to resent others - this promises the same consequences.

According to ancient signs, on October 25, you should not buy church candles for the house - this can lead to illness. At the knock on the door, it was forbidden to ask "Who is there?" - in order to prevent trouble from entering the house. You can also not wash, whiten the walls, knock out bed linen and guess on maps.

During this period, threshing continued in the villages - cereals and flour were made from grain. Therefore, the most popular dish on the peasant table was porridge: barley, oatmeal or wheat. Porridge was served with butter or lard, and for children was seasoned with sweet jam.

The main “forecaster” of the day was the starry sky. If the stars shine brightly on October 25, expect frost. Dimmed - to the thaw. Blink - to changes in the weather, and blink strongly - to the snow. A weak wind blowing in one direction foreshadowed cloudy weather for several days in a row. And if on the day of Andron Stargazer thunder - winter will be snowy and warm.
