The dwellings were built of wood. Other materials at that time, of course, did not exist. But the Slavs used far from all types of trees for construction. After all, some were considered dangerous and bringing troubles and misfortunes. Optimal breeds for buildings were coniferous (spruce, pine). They defended the house from excessive humidity, and were helpful. In no case, our ancestors did not allow Osin to move. She was considered an unclean tree.
Another important condition was how old the tree and where it was shot. First, it was impossible to chop trees from the cemetery. Secondly, it was impossible to take too young or too old wood. Thirdly, it was impossible to use a trunk of a tree having a wood, thighs or an unusual form. Since the cutting of trees in the Slavs was akin to the murder of a man, they necessarily brought victims to nature.
After the tree was cut and delivered to the place of future construction, it had to be processed. To begin with, the bark and cut off the bitch. So the tree was left for a while to leave the woody perfume. The main tool in the construction of the ax. Although the German tribes at that time were already saws, but they spoiled the tree faster, and cracks appeared on it.
There were certain rules for the construction of dwellings. For example, it was impossible to erect in the following places:
- Where was the bath once.
- Where the road once passed.
- Where the remains of the dead were found.
- Where did the confrontation between the cutting objects occurred with the blows.
- Where once overthrew the WHO.
- Where before the house was standing in which Zipper got.
All these places were considered energetically negative and even dangerous for the life of the future owners of the new home. And where did you follow my house then? In places where the horned cattle is resting. For example, in Ukraine, specially produced cattle and watched where she would tell relax. In addition, the choice of construction site could be determined by ghostas.
Pay attention to the start of construction. In some areas, the most important mission was performed by the fortunelists. They called a specific start date. In Siberia, for example, considered at a good time the beginning of spring, new moon. There was also a belief that the construction process must necessarily get into the trinity.
