Today, November 1st, do not let inner passions take over your soul.
Give up anger, pride and other bad thoughts so as not to darken the day.
What not to do
Caring for horses
On Ivanov's Day, you need to take care of your horses. It is important not to overload them with work, but rather to feed and pet them.
Giving up evening work
It is better not to do housework in the evening, so as not to spoil your plans. If something is planned, it is better to reschedule it for another time.
Owl on the house
If an owl sits on the roof, it must not be driven away. This means that it has come to remove troubles from the house.
Protection from evil spirits
With the onset of cold weather, evil spirits try to penetrate into homes. To protect yourself, you need to use prayers and amulets, especially on November 1.
Do not dry your laundry outside.
It is not recommended to dry bed linen outside, so that evil spirits do not hide in it.
Spider in the house
If you see a spider, do not kill it. It is the spirit of an ancestor who has come to help if you have problems.
Closed windows and doors
Don't leave windows and doors open unattended. If you're ventilating a room, keep a cross or amulet nearby.
What can be done

Charity and helping others
