This place has long been one of the most milestones on the path of life, personified the beginning of some inner life cycles. In the bath, they always steamed before important events and when they felt the danger. The bathhouse was traditional the place where the bride went before going down the aisle, and which is still very interesting – a place for the birth of a child.
If you look at the bathhouse from the point of view of the magician, we will see how unique is its very appearance in human life. Bathhouse gives chance for a person who is not particularly knowledgeable in magic to ask for help to the primary elements. After all, in essence, a bath is a combination of four elements. There are elements of Water, Air, Fire. Well, the elements of the Earth manifested in stones, wood and the very base of the room.

BANNIK – FRIEND BATH
In ancient times, in Slavic mythology, a separate bath was allocated deity, called him respectfully – Bannik. Only after some time, with the advent of a new faith and the transformation of ancient traditions the deity has been simplified to some essential spirit, but its significance and strength remained the same.
The banner looks like a brownie; how the brownie was considered the master home space, so Bannik was in charge of the bath space. It is difficult to attribute it to the category of good or evil spirits, because, like a brownie situation, it all depends on whether relationship with Bannik.
Studying folk tales about the bathing spirit, you can meet the most different stories. The good ones tell how the good Bannik helped children and family, healed the owners of the house from diseases. But there are stories which says that Bannik, who was offended by the bad the hosts’ behavior and got angry, was capable of cruel revenge and even to harm a person. Moreover, if you offend Bannika, he can take revenge quirky, for example – steal up the terrible breath of a person in the bath, and no one will know who committed bad.
Jokes are bad with Bannik, but you cannot do without him. Without this spirit the bath will be inanimate, and who else but Bannik is able to drive away any evil power from the premises. So Bannika still needs to be started in a new bathhouse and try not to offend him.
BANNER’S BELL
What is needed for Bannik to appear in the bath? Vintage beliefs tell us that if you have visited the bathhouse at least once woman in childbirth and gave birth to a baby there, the appearance of a bathhouse in your bathhouse spirit guaranteed. But since at the present time, agree it is much safer to give birth in a hospital, under the supervision of a medical staff, talk about alternatives.
You can call Bannik yourself. If a young family is inviting, then It will be ideal if they revive a sleeping bathhouse with their energy. To cause a surge in energy, you need to do in the bath love joys. Exactly!
If you are going to a new bathhouse, you should take donations with you – generous gifts for Bannik. As gifts, a large the amount of kvass (preferably in a large wooden jug), as well as black bread densely sprinkled with salt. The bread was left as an offering for Bannik (an analogue of how we make sweet treats in order to appease the domestic spirit of the brownie). Doused with kvass the walls of the bath.
To invite Bannik, bringing gifts, you should say The following magic words:
I call here the owner of the bath, I call here Bannik good
you’ll live peacefully here, our bathhouse to protect!
Yes, it will happen!
And in the future you should periodically appease Bannik with gifts, so that he does not get angry, does not take offense and helps the owners. Setting off for a bath, you can take a piece of black rye bread with you every time with salt, periodically repeat pouring kvass on the walls.
Entering the room, it is advisable to ask Bannik permissions.
He is very pleased when the owners monitor the cleanliness of the bath, lead peacefully, without any evil debate and clarification relationship.
The bathing spirit does not like too much heat in the bath, and yet it doesn’t like if people are in a hurry to finish the procedure as soon as possible ablutions. Bannik approves when hosts use during bathing herbs, all kinds of herbal infusions. If Banniku fall in love, then he himself begins to help keep the bathhouse clean, and steam is better does, and adds strength and health to the owners.
After steaming, Banniku was left with steam, a broom fresh for him personally and bath tub (vessel with clean water). Like, and he you need to take a steam bath in your home.
Also, from the additional rules for the fret with Bannikov, you need to remember that it’s undesirable to go to the bathhouse yourself. And at night after sunset, there’s no need to appear there at all necessary.
Bannik tries to benefit your health and life, driving away evil strength, new yourself you can help him in this difficult matter. Plant there are as many nettles as possible around the bathhouse, with particular emphasis on space near the threshold. The magical properties of nettle are to cleanse and protect from the invasion of evil forces. Densely and furiously planting a bathhouse at the doorstep nettles, you thereby render all possible assistance to Bannik, since it will be difficult for unclean forces to overcome such a barrier.
By the way, they leave the bathhouse as people leave the church – that is, back forward so as not to offend host disrespectful behavior baths.
Just in case, let’s say that if you accidentally break what a bathing rule and anger Bannik, people say that then salvation must be sought by running out of the bathhouse to the house and calling other close spirits: brownie (spirit of the house) and a sheepskin (spirit of a barn). Since there is not even a sheepskin near every private house today, then you need to call the brownie to help out and save.
HOW DOES THE BATH SPIRIT LOOK
Bannik usually tried to remain invisible to the human eye. Nevertheless, he did not particularly care about the noiselessness of his behavior. He could be heard – especially at night, when the spirit took apart a bunch new unburned brooms that were stored in the bathhouse, or simply rested, sitting on a shelf under the ceiling and muttering some of his own tunes.
Rarely could Bannik appear even if it became necessary for him. Sometimes people themselves called Bannik during magic action inside the bath. Coming, he often looked a bit like brownie. Appeared in the guise of a little grandfather, sometimes without clothes or sometimes covered with birch and oak leaves from bath brooms. Grandfather was with long gray hair and a beard. It was said that the eyes the sauna grandfather has unusual ones – very large and iridescent, but not natural monophonic. In some regions they say that Bannik can appear as a huge furry black entity, silhouette recalling something by a person.
