Folk signs about winter are a real storehouse of wisdom. This time of year is shrouded in mystery and wonder. Many people believe that it is in winter that real magic happens, but is it really so?
In the article:
Signs say that people born in the cold season are very prudent, wise, able to overcome any obstacles. Our ancestors were sure that people born in winter are able to work miracles.
Also, our ancestors paid attention to what would happen in the future.
Snow speaks of the onset of real winter. From the day it fell, you need to count 40 days. That's when the real winter fairy tale begins.
If a animal all the time he tries to be closer to objects that radiate heat (to a stove or a battery), then there will soon be a blizzard. If the pet behaves calmly and does not look for a warm corner, then the winter will not be cold.
The sign says that if a bullfinch chirps under your window, then winter will end soon.
If at the end of February it is very slippery, there is a lot of ice and icicles, then this indicates that spring will not come soon and will be very cold. The starry sky on the night of January 1-2 also testifies to the long winter. If at this time there are very few stars in the sky, then spring will come very soon.
Winter is a magical time of the year. Remember, if you pay attention to the signs of winter and listen to the clues of nature, you can easily find out what awaits you.
