Как исполнить желание в Велесову ночь.

Для многих ночь с 31 октября на 1 ноября ассоциируется с Хэллоуином или Самайном, западными праздниками в канун Дня всех Святых. Но в славянской традиции на эту дату приходится свой праздник – Велесова ночь.

Велесова Ночь – магическая, наступит с 31 октября на 1 ноября , когда Белобог окончательно передаёт Коло Года Чернобогу, а Врата Нави (астрального плана бытия) до первых петухов (либо до самого рассвета) широко распахнуты в Явь.

Праздник этот для наших предков имел особое значение, ведь именно в этот день происходило непосредственное «общение» с Духами умерших. В Велесову ночь духи предков возвращаются к своим потомкам, чтобы преподнести им уроки и благословить весь Род. Ночью c 31 октября на 1 ноября на улицу ставят тарелку с угощением для душ умерших.Зажигались праздничные свечи, защищающие от злых духов, на порог и подоконники клали рябиновые ветви, а во дворе до самого утра горел костер. На Алтарь праздника кладутся яблоки, тыквы, кабачки, осенние цветы. Вспоминают ушедших близких, друзей, родственников, но без сожаления.

Перед сном в Велесову ночь можно загадать желание. Для его исполнения положите под подушку яблоко, а утром съешьте. Кстати, при очищении яблока от кожуры следите за тем, какой длинны получается стружка – чем она длиннее, тем дольше вы проживете.

How to make a wish come true on Veles night.

For many, the night from October 31 to November 1 is associated with Halloween or Samhain, Western holidays on the eve of All Saints' Day. But in the Slavic tradition, this date has its own holiday - Veles night.

Veles night is magical, it comes from October 31 to November 1, when Belobog finally hands over the Kolo of the Year to Chernobog, and the Gates of Navi (the astral plane of existence) are wide open to Yav until the first roosters (or until dawn).

This holiday had a special meaning for our ancestors, because it was on this day that direct "communication" with the Spirits of the dead took place. On Veles night, the spirits of the ancestors return to their descendants to teach them lessons and bless the entire Family. On the night from October 31 to November 1, a plate with treats for the souls of the dead is placed outside. Festive candles were lit to protect against evil spirits, rowan branches were placed on the threshold and windowsills, and a fire burned in the yard until the morning. Apples, pumpkins, squash, autumn flowers are placed on the Altar of the holiday. They remember their departed loved ones, friends, relatives, but without regret.

Before going to bed on Veles' night, you can make a wish. To make it come true, put an apple under your pillow and eat it in the morning. By the way, when peeling an apple, watch how long the shavings are - the longer they are, the longer you will live.

Traditions for a widowed 'mech.

A square foot or so from something of the pilot's- the fabric cover of a cooling vest, out-of-'mech uniform, whichever -is cut out and hung at whatever most resembles its neck. There are some with scarves or mantles from the number they've been through, some with whole sweeping cloaks.

Get the hangar crew to take the external plating off. The ashes or dog tags will be stored within, safe under the armor. (Anything that could punch through will probably kill the 'mech as well.)

There's an alternative to that, where they take an armor plate off per pilot lost. "Killer" 'mechs are stripped down to bare frames, sent into combat with the expectation of being wrecked in repentance for the pilots they've lost (although, obviously, with the eject systems triple-checked). It's wastefully expensive, but some units just harbor a grudge like that.

Weld the armaments in place. No upgrades, no refits, not unless it loses the whole limb. Even then, most outfits will have it replaced with the exact same model.

If it has hands- after all, that is not something to take for granted -the 'mech will often serve as pallbearer (if there's time for it; obviously, mid-campaign is no time to take a 'mech off the front for a funeral).

Flame it into shutdown, until the metal glows and the systems spark, then patch it up and reboot it. A symbolic co-death for the metal to the meat before being restored to full service.

Vanessa, who is a chimney sweep, was coming from work when I photographed her in Cologne, Germany a few months ago. She shared with me her vivid childhood memories, when a chimney sweep would visit her house from time to time to clean the chimneys. His presence fascinated her, and his departure left behind a sense of security within the family. At the age of 13, Vanessa decided to become a chimney sweep as well and began learning the trade. Then she started to work at only 16.

Being a chimney sweep is a hazardous occupation, with Vanesa constantly ascending to great heights on rooftops. It demands strength, courage and resilience. Vanessa has them all, and, moreover, she loves what she does.

Within her closely-knit community, ancient traditions are still held dear. Vanessa’s beautiful uniform not only provides her with fire protection but also serves as a representation of the ancient community she belongs to. As I photographed Vanesa, people from the street would approach her to ask to touch the buttons on her clothing, as it is a local tradition believed to bring good luck

Rehearsal for festa major. Video shared by Món Casteller.

In Tarragona (Catalonia), there is the tradition that on the day after festa major (traditional Catalan holiday celebrated in each town or city on their patron saint's day), which in Tarragona is celebrated on September 24th, the four castellers groups of the city go up and down the stairs in front of the city's cathedral doing a pilar and continue walking the pilar through the down-hill street until they cross all the Font square near it. The whole process is about 500 meters and takes each group an average of 10 to 15 minutes to do.

Castellers are the Catalan tradition of doing "human towers", which can have many people on each layer or floor. A pilar is when the "tower" only has one person on each floor, like you can see in the video. In this video, you can see the group Colla Castellera de Sant Pere i Sant Pau practising going down the stairs in front of the Cathedral.

Tradition of "Name Day" in Different Countries

by languages.eu

Name Day is a celebration of an individual's given name and has been a tradition in many cultures for centuries. For example, according to the Swedish name day list, today — February 5, it's the name day for Agata/Agda. Tomorrow it's for Dorotea, Doris, and so on.

It consists of celebrating a day of the year that is associated with one's baptismal name, which is normatively that of a biblical character or other saint. Where they are popular, individuals celebrate both their name day and their birthday in a given year. It has become less popular nowadays in certain countries and only grandparents celebrate the name days of their grandchildren.

Name Day tradition is a common practice in France 🇫🇷 even though it isn’t celebrated the same way as in other coloured countries above.

Historically, this was a tradition in all regions of Europe practicing Christianity, including Germany, Ireland, Denmark, and so on.
