Many Russians know about the Taoist art of organizing space and increasing the positive energy flows of Feng Shui. And often you can see that the construction of wooden houses is in accordance with the principles of Feng Shui. But this art does not quite correspond to our mentality, the traditions and beliefs of the ancient Slavs are much closer to us, the Russian people!
The Slavs knew that the family happiness and financial well-being of the owners of the house are closely related to how correctly the place was chosen for building the house. Until now, there is a set of rules "Spravny Dom", which reflects many aspects of choosing a place for a house and building it.
Seat selection rules
- You can not build on the site of a former cemetery or ashes.
- You can not start construction near the existing or destroyed chapels, churches, monasteries.
- You can’t build a house where the big road ran - happiness will “leave” the family.
- Can't build in geopathogenic zone. It is easy to determine such a place - there are few shrubs and green spaces, the relief is very even, there are many different-sized stones on the surface of the earth. These are the signs of a break earth's crust, the energy of such a site is not suitable for happiness and longevity. Ancient people noticed that the inhabitants of houses built in such inappropriate places, suffer from headaches and insomnia, abuse alcohol.
- When choosing a site for construction wooden house chose beautiful natural landscapes, areas near ponds and forests.
- Vegetation can also be determined a good place or bad. Presence coniferous trees, rowan and maple was considered good sign, but oaks, ash trees, willow, willow and aspen grow where they pass close ground water. This is unfavorable for the foundation, leads to big problems during the construction and operation of the house.
- Trees with "clumsy" trunks are also bad. Such flaws indicate infertile soil.
Rules for building a house from the ancient Slavs
- It was advised to start the construction of the hut on the new moon and in early spring(during Lent). In this case, you can achieve good luck in all matters, and not just in construction. The construction time was supposed to "capture" the Trinity.
- If you start construction on a day that is dedicated "by Christmas" to the Great Martyr, then it will be very difficult to complete the construction. But the days that are dedicated to the Reverends are very favorable for the start of any major business.
- In addition to the holidays "at Christmas time", the days of the week in the usual calendar are also important - it was recommended to do the "start" on Tuesday and Thursday - these are the days of traditional "men's work".
- It is necessary to start laying the furnace on the new moon (such constructions will give off heat better). On the waning moon, it was forbidden to start such an important business - such a furnace would be short-lived or very cold.
- The first crowns of the hut were laid along, and only then across. This promised deliverance from many of life's difficulties.
- They tried to have the "beginning" of the construction laid by the girl - then the house would be very warm.
- It was forbidden to put up pillars with a butt top - happiness can leave forever from such a house.
- During the first laying, they put in the front corner: a coin (for financial well-being), wool from a well-fed sheep (for warmth) and a piece of incense (to pacify the brownie).
- The floors were laid strictly towards the threshold, along the walls of the house, the other direction of the floor boards “threatened” with the absence of a happy life.
- Until the moment when the crown crown was laid, the masters did not leave the workplace, it was impossible to insert an ax into a tree or hit the wood with an ax butt.
- "Storage" - it was an indestructible custom: after laying two lower rims the owner gave the masters a shot of vodka.
- The house was never orientated window openings, doors or entrance gate to the north.
- When laying the foundation for a log house, signs advised planting a mountain ash in the yard, and after erecting an overhead crown (so that the walls were strong), planting an oak seedling.
Notes before moving in
In ancient times, building wooden houses associated with large quantity accept, there were many superstitions about this. Believe it or not folk wisdom, it's up to you, but it's worth noting that every sign has been tested for centuries and many of them confirmed their "right to life"!
The interior of Russian huts is mostly very similar and includes a number of elements that can be found in any home. If we talk about the device of the hut, then it consists of:
- 1-2 living quarters
- upper room
- lumber room
- terrace
The first thing a guest came across when entering the house was the canopy. This is a kind of zone between the heated room and the street. All the cold lingered in the hallway and did not enter the main room. The canopy was used by the Slavs for economic purposes. In this room they kept a yoke and other things. Located in the hallway lumber room. This is a room that was separated from the hallway by a partition. It housed a chest with flour, eggs and other products..
The heated room and the vestibule were separated by a door and a high threshold. Such a threshold was made so that it was more difficult for cold air to penetrate into a warm room. In addition, there was a tradition the guest, entering the room, had to bow, greet the hosts and the brownie. The high threshold just "forced" the guests to bow, entering the main part of the house. Since the entrance without bowing ensured hitting the head on the jamb. With the advent of Christianity in Rus', the bow to the brownie and the owners was supplemented by the overshadowing of oneself with the sign of the cross and the bow to the icons in the red corner.
Stepping over the threshold, the guest entered the main room of the hut. The first thing that caught my eye was the oven. It was located immediately to the left or right of the door. The Russian stove is the main element of the hut. The absence of a furnace indicates that the building is non-residential. And the Russian hut got its name precisely because of the stove, which allows you to heat the room. Another important feature this device - cooking food. Still no more useful way cooking than in the oven. Currently, there are various double boilers that allow you to save a maximum of useful elements in food. But all this is not comparable to cooked food from the oven. There are many beliefs associated with the oven. For example, it was believed that it was a favorite vacation spot for brownies. Or, when a child lost a milk tooth, he was taught to throw the tooth under the stove and say:
"Mouse, mouse, you have a burdock tooth, and you give me a bone tooth"
It was also believed that garbage from the house should be burned in a furnace so that the energy does not go outside, but remains inside the room.
Red corner in a Russian hut
The red corner is an integral part of the interior decoration of the Russian hut. It was located diagonally from the stove (most often this place fell on the eastern part of the house - a note to those who do not know where to set the red corner in modern dwelling). It was sacred place where there were towels, icons, faces of ancestors and divine books. Necessary part the red corner was the table. It was in this corner that our ancestors ate food. The table was considered a kind of altar, on which there was always bread:
"Bread on the table, so the table is the throne, but not a piece of bread - so is the table board"
Therefore, even today, tradition does not allow sitting on the table. And leaving knives and spoons is considered a bad omen. Until today, another belief associated with the table has survived: young people were forbidden to sit on the corner of the table in order to avoid the fate of celibacy.
Shop with a chest in the hut
Everyday household items in a Russian hut played their role. A hiding place or chest for clothes was important elements at home. Skrynya was inherited from mother to daughter. It included the dowry of the girl, which she received after marriage. This element of the interior of the Russian hut was located most often next to the stove.
Benches were also an important element of the interior of the Russian hut. Conventionally, they were divided into several types:
- long - differs from the rest in length. It was considered a women's place where they did embroidery, knitting, etc.
- short - during the meal, men sat on it.
- kutnaya - was installed near the furnace. Buckets of water, shelves for dishes, pots were placed on it.
- threshold - went along the wall where the door is located. Used as a kitchen table.
- judgment - a shop higher than others. Designed to store shelves with dishes and pots.
- konik - men's shop square shape with a carved horse's head on the side. It was located next to the door. On it, men were engaged in small crafts, so tools were stored under the bench.
- "beggar" was also located at the door. Any guest who entered the hut without the permission of the owners could sit on it. This is due to the fact that the guest cannot go into the hut further than the mother (log, serving as the basis for the ceiling). Visually, the matrix looks like a protruding log across the main stacked boards on the ceiling.
The upper room is another living space in the hut. Wealthy peasants had it, because not everyone could afford such a room. The chamber was most often arranged on the second floor.Hence its name gornitsa - "mountain". In it was another oven called dutch. This is a round stove. In many village houses they are still standing, being an ornament. Although even today you can find huts that are heated by these old appliances.
Enough has already been said about the stove. But it is impossible not to mention the tools that were used in working with Russian stoves. Poker is the most famous item. It is an iron rod with a bent end. A poker was used to stir and rake coals. Pomelo was used to clean the stove from coals..
With the help of a fork, it was possible to drag or move pots and cast iron. It was a metal arc that made it possible to grab the pot and carry it from place to place. The grip made it possible to put the cast iron in the oven without fear of getting burned..
Another item used in working with the stove is bread shovel. With it, the bread is placed in the oven and pulled out after cooking. And here is the word chaplya"Not many people know. This tool is called a frying pan in another way. It was used to grab a frying pan.
Cradle in Rus' had various forms. There were hollowed out, and wicker, and hanging, and "roly-poly" ones. Their names were surprisingly varied: cradle, unsteady, coliche, rocking chairs, lullaby. But a number of traditions are associated with the cradle, which remained unchanged. For example, it was considered necessary to place the cradle in the place where the baby could watch the dawn. Rocking an empty cradle was considered bad omen. We believe in these and many other beliefs to this day. After all, all the traditions of the ancestors were based on their personal experience, which the new generation adopted from their ancestors.
KNOW YOUR MEASUREMENT. Northern house building tradition
Interview with the master of wooden architecture Igor Tyulenev, who creates houses according to the principles of the old foundations of house building and sazhen proportioning. The interview was conducted specifically for the readers of the Pashkovka newspaper.
“The foundations of our Russian, Northern Tradition found a deep response in my heart,” says Igor Tyulenev. – Gradually I learned to perceive and understand and pass on the traditions of house building. And I continue to study. In Rus', everywhere they put an osmerik or six (a house with eight or six (like a honeycomb in bee hive) corners). And this is directly related to the harmony of the ascending and descending streams of force: the Earthly and Heavenly Yaris are alive (as it is now fashionable to call these streams - Yin and Yang, and the Ancestors called them - the nature of the Father and Mother, male and female energy) with their flow in a spiral. Towers and huts were mostly round in shape. Everything in house building has a certain importance, and the form is no exception.
For example, try, without changing the shape of the vessel or product, to fill ripe apples bottle from under mineral water. Nothing will come of it, either you have to break the bottle, or finely chop the apples. A basket is better for storing apples, they will breathe easily in it, and, accordingly, they will be well stored, but it would never occur to anyone to store fresh honey or ripe kvass in a wicker basket. That is, everything needs a proper container.
Life is Force, and the form is activated by that Force, and the house is filling. For example, a "petrol" car will not move on diesel fuel. Thus, the form may or may not be able to contain and perceive this or that energy, force. The well-known expression: “a house is a full bowl”, is now perceived as a house full of all kinds of “good” - things, furniture, but initially no one put such a meaning into this expression-wish. “A house is a full bowl” is a house filled to the brim with harmoniously intertwined flows of Earthly and Heavenly forces, which need a certain form for this, here the place of setting up the house is also of decisive importance.
I repeat, gradually, dwellings and other buildings took on a geometrically more “simple” shape, became square and rectangular. A right angle is formed at the intersection of the walls, but the Heavenly force tends to flow down, and the Earthly one rises. The Force, like water in a river, does not flow at a right angle, and therefore in the corners of today's brick, stone and panel houses, "negative" constantly accumulates, there the current of the Force is disturbed, without movement it “fades out”, the river turns into a swamp. A permanent minus point is formed in the corner. Subsequently, in order to avoid this process in wooden, already square houses, walls began to be hewn, thus giving a rounding of the corners, and allowing the flows of the Force to flow.
Why was wood preferred? building material?
- The trunk of a tree is essentially a retinue (coil, spiral, and Vita - Life) structure of tubular systems, since the entire trunk from the butt to the top is permeated with bellies - channels through which, while the tree is growing, juice flows - from the roots up the trunk , and reified sunlight from the leaves of the crown - also on the bellies, spreads throughout the tree. Depending on the purpose of the tree: to receive or give strength, its trunk acquired a left-handed or right-handed twist, the so-called swirl, in the process of growth, and because of this, the felled log became “right” or “left”.
Huts used to be cut down, combining these logs proportionally, or consciously giving the structure certain qualities, laying mainly right-handed or left-handed logs into the log house. Thanks to the method of stacking a log in a log house (butt - top), a continuous current of Zhiva and Yari was achieved in a spiral. In cups (places of cuts) the poles of energy change, a phase transition takes place by 90 degrees - plus to minus, the Force of the Father "becomes", is filled with the Force of the Mother, and vice versa. But this happens only if the core, the core of the tree, is not damaged. therefore earlier at home and chopped into okhryap - into the lower bowl. Today, experts criticize this method of logging, saying that moisture accumulates in the lower bowl, and the tree in the log house is more prone to decay, and they offer log cabins chopped into a hook - into the upper bowl. At the same time, they avoid making locks - fat tails, not realizing that the core of the tree broken in the log house in this case this is a disservice to the residents of such houses.
The roof closes the entire contour of the house. And here the angle of the roof already matters, or rather the corners, since there are many options for them in the canon of housing construction. A house was built with one corner of the roof, and a barn with another ... Now few people think about this, approaching this issue from the concepts of aesthetics, or the possibility of material, nothing more. The house is designed to accommodate Life with certain qualities. Thus, it is necessary to take into account the place of setting (they heard the expression “the house must be placed on a stone”, this is because the current of force crosses differently). Do not build houses on sand, not only because it can collapse, but also because sand is not a conductor, there will be no power in such a house.
You also need to take into account the shape of the house, and the angle of the roof, as well as the material from which the house is built, and then the house can be given any properties - a Healing House, a Ritual House, a Residential House. All buildings and houses must have one hundred percent compliance with Form and Content.
By the way, the stove in the house, as its engine, must necessarily rely on bearing beams floor, and not on an independent foundation - as is often the case now. Depending on how the stove stands in the house in relation to the entrance, to the right or to the left of it, the stove can be Straight and Unspun, respectively. So in your house, everything is either “rushing”, going well, or not very ... About the magic of the Russian stove, one can and should speak separately, its ability to give birth to bread, warm the house and keep the Fire of the hearth, in itself is priceless.
How were houses built in the old days?
- In the old days, houses were built by the whole Relatives, and often by the whole world, such a term was - help, everyone gathered and built together. The ovens were adobe, and only immaculate girls and boys were invited to “beat” the oven, what strength they put into the oven! “In your own home, even the walls help” - so they say. Since we are talking about the house as a concept, about the essence of its purpose, so to speak, I can say more simply: the House is a place of Power that you create artificially. Home is a tool of evolution given by Rod. Your home, a universal tool with which you can do everything! This house has now been built, but we do not know how to interact with it. I mean with the house itself, with its space.
Of course, in order for the house to truly become yours, you must build it yourself, or at least take the maximum part in its construction. It is necessary to structure it for yourself, in the process of birth at home, water it, where it is salty with your sweat, and, maybe, where you get hurt with a little blood, the more valuable it will become for you, the more you put your strength into it, into your home. Previously, at least three generations of relatives Father, Mother, Grandfather and Grandmother and children lived in one hut. Knowledge was transferred naturally. There was a continuity in the transfer of knowledge, from grandfather and father to grandson and son.
- I heard that there used to be the concept of "Construction sacrifice"?
- Yes it is. Before a tree was cut down, gifts were brought to each tree and each tree was directly asked for permission to cut down. Promising him continued existence in new form, in the shape of a Dwelling. And if the tree gave such permission, then it experienced a state of supreme joy. As a result of the action of such a higher emotion, the entire molecular structure of wood changed, and now it was friendly to humans. In the new incarnation - a new measure, this expression is equal to all. A tree cut down in such a state will imprint it forever in its body, and a house built from such a log will constantly share this state of joy with its residents. And also will protect them from all misfortunes.
Now almost no one does this. But what I want to say: the attitude of a person himself to the house, to Life can change everything down to the atomic level. It is very important what you have inside, with what mood you live and act. Even a house built from railway sleepers soaked in creosote can become a source of positive force if a bright person lives in it, full of the Joy of Life ...
House, Family Homestead as an artifact.
The estate is not only hedge, a garden, a kitchen garden, a forest, a clearing, a pond, but also a variety of buildings - a house, a pantry, a barn, a bathhouse, a gazebo.
Nature and man himself should be a model and measure for the structures created on the estate. Then all the buildings will be harmonious and beautiful, life will flow in them in the most favorable way for the psyche and health, and it will be possible to reveal and realize many of the abilities inherent in a person.
Today in architecture there are:
1. Estates and houses built according to living dimensions.
These houses are inherent in the properties of all living beings - they were created taking into account the golden ratio and the so-called wurf coefficients. Wurf is a three-member division of the human body (it will be discussed in more detail below). This includes houses created using the old Russian system of sazhens. This is how houses are built for a comfortable and pleasant life.
Basic fathoms in meters:
City police 2,848
Large 2,584
Great 2,440
Greek 2,304
Treasury 2,176
Pharaoh 2,091
Piletsky 2,055
Royal 1,974
Church 1,864
Folk 1,760
Chernyaeva 1,691
Egyptian 1,663
Masonry 1,597
Simple 1,508
Small 1,424
Lesser 1.345
All 16 fixed sazhens, according to which it is proposed to design structures, are calculated based on the size of historical buildings - cultural monuments. Fathoms increase in accordance with the coefficient of harmony of the musical series - 1.059.
I would like to emphasize that fathoms are a tool for creating volume, and not just a unit of length. From any size you can make a sazhen.
Harmonious dimensions give buildings and structures the following properties:
1. Beauty;
2. Durability;
3. Strength;
4. Excellent acoustics;
5. Health effect for people;
6. Harmonization of space.
Before the introduction of design by meters, not only houses, but also parks, cities were created according to sazhens, the name of one of the sazhens reminds us of this - the city.
The land in the estate was changed by tithes - 1 tithe - 109 acres. There are 2400 square fathoms in one tithe. 4,548 sq. m - square sazhen.
2.848x1.597=4.548 sq. m;
2.548x1.76 = 4.548 sq. m;
2.44x1.864=4.548 sq. m;
2.304x1.974=4.548 sq. m;
2.176x2.090=4.548 sq. m;
1.508x2x1.508=4.548 sq. m;
When creating a house according to sazhens, it is taken into account that in nature there are no identical figures - diversity pleases the eye, pacifies the psyche.
Amazing yields were also noted on the ridges, marked by sazhens.
Separately in the estate is the theme of creating a "living pond", i.e. such a reservoir, where the water is maximally self-purifying (does not overgrow), everything is favorable for the life of fish, crayfish and, at the request of the owners, for swimming. Of course, for the construction of a pond, it is first of all important to have a source of water (source indicators are green grass, willow, alder), a bed of clay, the location of the banks along geodetic lines. And only then is the marking of the pond by fathoms.
The depth of the bottom should be different, and it is desirable that the reservoir be deeper in the north, shallower in the south. For convenience, it is possible to build 1 or 2 terraces deep into the pond with a width of about 0.5 m for planting aquatic plants, such as water lilies, reeds. It is desirable to stretch the banks of the pond in the direction of the wind. The combination of natural forms and geodesic lines is important. For example, a pond shaped like a shrimp or a snake will not self-clean if built on a plain. But this form is great for a reservoir at the foot of a mountain or in a ravine.
The paths in the estate do not have to be straight. The energy goes tortuously. A striking example represent the streets of old Moscow. Standing at the beginning of such a street, you will not see its end - it is so crooked. It is necessary to follow nature, and there are no straight lines in it, especially parallel ones. Likewise with the ridges. It is better when long ridges are arranged in the form of a meander or snake.
2. Dead estates and houses.
These structures slow down natural processes, therefore, they are used to preserve inanimate products and bodies, like refrigerators, storehouses, crypts. Such houses are based on regular geometric shapes that are not found in nature - a square, a circle, an isosceles and equilateral triangle. The exception here is a hexagon - a honeycomb, a regular geometric figure, but alive.
The earth is measured in squares - square meter, square hundred, square hectare.
Ponds are created in the form of regular geometric shapes, regardless of geodetic lines, cardinal points and wind direction.
The paths are straight, turns at clear angles.
3. Other facilities.
Not "living" and "dead" estates and houses. Such structures are created by amateurs or are intended for some unknown, space purposes. These include new building, city apartments. The topic has not been studied, you can write a dissertation ....

Rationale for the use of fathoms
God has arranged the World, and in the Harmony of the World God's perfection is remotely reflected. God gave people reason and feelings capable of perceiving the Harmony of the World. Moreover, Harmony is inherent in the Man himself. And Man can not only perceive, but also reproduce the Harmony of the World in his works.
Harmony is measurable. One of the measures of Harmony is a human measure - a sazhen. Creating something by sazhens, Man gives Beauty and Harmony to his works. As much as it is organic for a Human to live in the nature created by God, it is natural for a Human to live and use the creations that reflect this Harmony.
It is natural for a person to live in a harmonious environment created by him. This so-called "cultural" environment. It is a secondary habitat artificially created by Man. However, this secondary nature must also comply with the laws of Harmony and be favorable for a person. Such a correspondence can be provided by a sazhen.
The uniqueness of the system of ancient Russian sazhens lies in the fact that “fundamentally, there is no single standard measuring unit for sazhens, and the measurement system itself is not Euclidean.
For many centuries, the lack of a single standard did not interfere, and moreover, it contributed to the construction of magnificent structures that were aesthetically proportional to nature, also because in ancient Russian architecture all articulations were three-part, notes in the book "Golden Fathoms Ancient Rus'» A. F. Chernyaev.
For example, fingers, toes, hands (shoulder-forearm-hand), legs (thigh, lower leg, foot), etc. - have a three-membered structure. Moreover, a two-term limb did not exist in nature.
The ratio of 3 lengths make up a proportion called wurf. Wurf values for the human body vary, averaging 1.31.
Moreover, the coefficient of the golden section squared, divided by two, is equal to the wurf. (1.618x1.618): 2=1.31.
At present, most architects in Russia have undeservedly forgotten the method of designing by sazhens and use the metric system.
Consider the history of the meter. Meter was first introduced in France in the 18th century and originally had two competing definitions:
As the length of a pendulum with a half-period of swing at a latitude of 45° equal to 1 s (in modern units, this length is m).
As one forty-millionth part of the Paris meridian (that is, one ten-millionth part of the distance from the north pole to the equator along the surface of the earth's ellipsoid at the longitude of Paris).
The modern definition of the meter in terms of time and the speed of light was introduced in 1983:
The meter is the length of the path, traversed by light in vacuum in (1/299,792,458) seconds.
It turns out that the meter is an artificially derived unit of measurement that is not directly related, and, accordingly, does not reflect the Harmony of the World and Man. A meter is a standard that forms a line. Fathoms are a natural measure for Man. They form a tripartite (3 - sacred number) a system by which the area and volume are harmoniously formed.
Peter the Great, as D.S. Merezhkovsky, in his work "The Antichrist", abolished the natural measures: a fathom, a finger, an elbow, an inch, which were present in clothes, utensils and architecture, making them fixed in the Western manner. It is not just that the meter was introduced in France and Russia during the revolutions. The destroyers knew why it was necessary to forget the wisdom and traditions of the ancestors, to destroy the roots...
Ancient people felt Harmony intuitively, without thinking about measurements. But the connection with God was weakening, and therefore rigidly fixed sizes of sazhens arose, rules for building various structures according to sazhens appeared.
Our ancestors carefully preserved and passed on the age-old wisdom and beauty, embodying them in the temples of Ancient Rus'. Life in estates and houses built according to sazhens allowed not to lose the feeling of the Harmony of the World, reminded Man of God.
Now we visit estates miraculously preserved after collectivization and urbanization. For example, in Moscow, near Red Square, the family estate of the Romanovs, where now only the house-museum remains, “The House of the Romanov Boyars”. The house-museum and part of the estate of the artist Vasnetsov in the former Troitsky Lane near the Sukharevskoye metro station have been preserved.
On Novy Arbat, a piece of the estate and the family home of the Lermontovs are hidden behind skyscrapers. Everyone knows Boldino - the family estate of the great Russian poet Pushkin. A charming corner is the estate of the artist Polenov in Tarusa, a museum run by his descendants.
The family estate of the “father of Russian aviation”, the memorial house-museum and the estate of Zhukovsky are located in the village of Orekhovo, which is 30 km from Vladimir, on the Vladimir-Alexandrov highway. And there are many such examples.
The revival of the ancient traditions of creating estates and estates will undoubtedly serve the socio-economic upsurge and improvement of life in the country, the development of the spiritual, creative forces and abilities of the new landlords.

Variety of fathoms
Consider various options the use of sazhens in the design of a residential building. Common to all methods: when building a house according to sazhens, the external dimensions of the house must have different sizes along 3 coordinate axes, and only even number fathoms. Similarly, the space inside the house is planned, only an even number of half-sazhens, elbows, spans, metacarpuses or vershoks is taken.
Details such as windows and doors rounded at the top, a high roof, various terraces and porches, asymmetric elements and parts of the house make it original and memorable. A separate topic is the decoration of the house with carvings, the so-called "patterning". This is a whole language of various figures, telling about the family living in the house. The furniture is made in accordance with the size of the house and the owners. Complements inner space home decoration color: curtains, carpets, paintings.
Design for 16 fixed fathoms
An even number of fathoms is plotted along the 3 axes, which must be different and not be next to each other in the list.
1. Piletsky 2.055
2. Egyptian 1,663
3. Lesser 1.345
4. Treasury 2.176
5. Folk 1,760
6. Small 1.424
7. Greek 2,304
8. Church 1,864
9. Simple 1,508
10. Great 2,440
11. Royal 1,974
12. Masonry 1,597
13. Large 2,584
14. Pharaoh 2,091
15. Chernyaeva 1,691
16. Policeman 2,848
So, the external dimensions of the house can be as follows: length - 6 church fathoms, height - 4 royal fathoms, width - 4 people's fathoms. If the house is round or polygonal, then the outer diameter is equal to an even number of fathoms, for example, 4 masonry fathoms.
Fathoms according to the golden proportions of the owner.
It is proposed to take five consecutive numbers of the golden ratio 0.382/0.618/1/1.618/2.618. These coefficients must be multiplied by the growth of the owner - as a result, a number of fathoms is obtained, proportional to its growth. For example, with a height of 1.764 m, the scale will be as follows: 0.674 / 1.090 / 1.764 / 2.854 / 4.618 m. The indicated row is successively multiplied by 2, 4, 8, 16 ... - a table is formed, according to which the sizes of individual fathoms are determined. The fathoms calculated by this method are divided into 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 ... parts, respectively. As a result, we get independent units: half a sazhen, elbows, spans, metacarpuses, vershoks.
Types of "human" fathoms.
The most famous "human" fathoms:

According to the indicated sazhens, a house is designed, taking into account the size of the owner and hostess. The external dimensions of the house are calculated according to the size of the owner, and the internal dimensions are calculated according to the size of the hostess. There is a certain meaning hidden here: such a correspondence is intended to reflect the relationship between the roles of men and women in the family.
In conclusion, it should be noted that regardless of the units of length (distance can be measured in feet, meters or parrots), when designing according to fathoms, we create a “living”, harmonious space for a Person for Love, creativity and relaxation.

Review of the hostess of the house, built according to the system of ancient Russian sazhens, about her house
My house is really built according to Russian sazhens. But only outside. Inside - how it happened. It is comfortable to live in it, we don’t want to leave it - we perceive it as a living being, very friendly and cheerful.
Is it the reason for this sazhen, or that it was built with love by our like-minded person, very clean and kind person, with extensive construction experience - it's hard to say.
Most often I hear such words about my house: “what a nice one you have!”. It seems small, but it seems - not very, moderately high, moderately - wide, so strong - in a word - okay. But in this, I think, the merit of fathoms.
He is pleasing to the eye with his proportions, well, smart, of course (after all, we love him - so we dressed him up). Guests, entering for a moment, do not leave for hours - they just sit on the steps or the terrace. This is especially noticeable in children, the mother of the baby will lower the baby to the ground to go home, and he again climbs the stairs to the house - and he is so happy.
Six months after the construction of the house, I attended Chernyaev's seminar in Lipetsk. There I learned an important thing that everyone should take into account when building a house, even if the construction is not in sazhens.
Ceiling height in the house furnace heating should be as large as possible - superheated air rises and hangs from the ceiling. If the ceilings are 3 meters (Chernyaev says 3.20 is better), then everything is fine. If it is lower, then our head is always in the discomfort zone.
Indeed, in heating season my son couldn't sleep upstairs bunk bed(the height of our ceilings is 2.5 meters) - it is very hot and stuffy up there.
I am for the fact that the houses of the settlers were solid, beautiful and well-ordered. Extra costs“for beauty” pay off a hundredfold - how many times my eyes catch my eye
In our fleeting age, people especially need to feel at least somewhere protected and safe. And a natural place that gives such a feeling is your home. Not without reason the popular saying says: "my house is my fortress". But in order for a house to be a home, it must be properly built and equipped. Today, everyone is familiar with the art of home improvement feng shui, which came to us from China, a little less people know the ancient Indian Vastu Shastra. However, our Ancestors - the Slavs had their own art of home improvement, which has evolved over thousands of years and is consonant with our ancestral Spirit. In the ancient Slavic Volkhov art "VoyYarg" there was a whole section dedicated to the arrangement and furnishing of the house, which was called "Okay House" or "House-amulet".
If we turn to the worldview of our Ancestors, we will see that the entire universe for them was built according to the principle of similarity, where the small - Yar, reflects the great - Yarg. So the house was a likeness of the Universe, a kind of universe created by the owner and connecting it with the outside world. But in order for the house to become a likeness of the living Universe, it is necessary to fill it with the Life Force - the Vein. To do this, it was necessary to comply with a number of conditions, the first of which was the choice right place for future housing.
There are strong, neutral and dead places. It is impossible to build housing on the latter, such places include cemeteries, places next to existing temples and shrines, or places where temples and shrines stood and were destroyed. Steep bends of rivers, places where the road used to pass - it was believed that happiness and wealth would not linger in such a place in the house. A strong place is rich in underground springs, trees and shrubs grow even and tall on it.
There was also a special ceremony to help determine whether the place was chosen for building a house.
The location of the house was also important, it was consistent with the cardinal points and, accordingly, with the so-called. geomagnetic network or, in the old way - Navi Lines. The house itself was built in the traditional span system of measures, which was tied to the human body. So, it was initially sweet with its owner, it was created exclusively for him. And a person in such a house felt free and comfortable. Internal layout at home it was consistent with the Kolovrats generated by the elemental Streams of Heaven and Earth. The outer decoration of the house was framed with protective patterns in order to attract positive elemental Streams into the house and eliminate the influence of the bad Streams. In the rooms of the house were placed special Items of Power, dedicated to the patron gods of these parts of the house.
During the construction of the house, a mortgage was laid under its foundation - special amulets with rune symbols and conspiracies that were supposed to attract, attract Zhilo to the house. The same amulets and signs were placed or drawn on the floor under the top covering, laid in corners, under baseboards and under the jambs of doors and windows.
The house itself was arranged according to a certain principle, and each part of it was interconnected with the Gods. Horizontally, the house was divided by the Perun Cross into four sectors, correlated with the four Gods - the organizers of the house space. Moreover, each of these sectors could also be divided according to the principle of nested spaces. Vertically, the house repeated the three-part structure of the world: the lower part - the foundation and the underground or cellar - Nav, the past, the foundation; the middle part - residential - Yav, the place where the life of the household passes; attic and roof - vault of heaven, Rule - the abode of higher Forces. Heavenly Streams go through the roof into the house, which is why in the old days the roof of any house was with slopes, so that the Force flowing from Heaven would not stagnate and create unnecessary tension, but would wash the house like rain. Gable roof usually located in the east-west direction, and on skates it was carved with horse heads, symbolizing the chariot or boat of Dazhbog-Sun, in which he sails across the Sky.
The southern side of the house was considered the strongest, the side in which the Strib (element) of the earth dominated the earthly Kolovrat of the elements, and the Strib of solar fire dominated the heavenly Kolovrat. It was on the south side, along which the Sun walks, that the facade was located - the face of the house. This side usually had the most windows.
The south side of the house also had a living room and a kitchen, since the south side is the side of fertility, goodness and health. Moreover, the living room merges with the eastern side, because the eastern side carries Streams of wandering, nomadic - just to welcome guests. The living room was patronized by Belobog - the organizer of manifest life and Striver - the owner of space, the Father of the winds. That is why all important family matters were decided in the living room, family councils and here the guests who came to the house were welcomed. The kitchen was connected with the western side, because the west carries the Streams of material wealth and stability. The kitchen is under the control of Chislobog - the keeper of time, numbers and the Deity of counting and calculations and Makosh - the heavenly spinner, the patroness of women. The space of the kitchen from the stove to the southern wall was called the women's kut - here the woman was a full-fledged hostess. In the kitchen there is also one of the most significant Places of Power at home - the oven. According to ancient Slavic legends, the first thing that the heavenly blacksmith Svarog bungled was the oven. And his first words were: "Let there be fire in this hearth!" And the light, already from the fire, appeared by itself. The first stove-maker was God Svarog, that's why all the Stove Masters are Svarog brothers. The stove is the gate to Nav - ancient world humanity. Behind each furnace lives the God of the beginning, our First Ancestor. He still lives there, only people have forgotten about it, whoever is friends with the stove can see Him. He usually appears in flames in the form of a Fireman. The female womb is arranged in the image of the furnace, inside which Svarog placed the Life-giving fire. You put raw material into it, and you get it ready-made, with Spirit and Soul. The oven brings death into life, from the past into the future. Hearth in the house - life in the house. A house without a hearth is not a house at all, even in a temporary house there is a hearth. AT modern apartments the kitchens are gas, electric, but stoves. Fire can have any nature. Any stove is a child of that Divine First Furnace. Any fire by which you warm yourself and on which you cook food turns the house into a temple. You need to treat the hearth with understanding, according to all the rules: keep it clean, as you keep your body clean, wipe it every day. If you ask the oven well, it will save the house from all evil spirits, and drive away the disease, and all sorrow. In the furnace you can burn your sadness, drive away any trouble. And you can tell bad dreams to the stove fire, bad forebodings. The oven is almost like God, omnipotent! Prabog lives in a world called Nav, the Nav's live there - the Souls of the Ancestors, and we will go there after death. From there, new Souls come into the world. The stove is an image of Mother Earth. At the stove they pray for future children and bake the premature and sick. In the furnace, wild fire turns into manual fire and serves a person.
From the west, the south side was usually adjoined by an adjoining or veranda. Moreover, the entrance to the house should be from the western side, so that the Streams of material prosperity and stability flow into the house. The entrance hall and the entrance are under the control of Perun - he rules the streams that pull into the house. And standing guard over the boundary separating the space of the house from the foreign world of the backyard, he rules over the course of Lived in the house. FROM outside on the porch above front door they usually hang a potkovka, which was sure to be under a horse and found on its own. To attract happiness and prosperity, they hang it upside down. The horseshoe placed in this way also symbolizes a full bowl in the house. But with inside needles or a knife are usually stuck under the architraves in order to interrupt the flow of bad streams and drive those who seek into the house with bad intentions. The architraves themselves above the front door and the pediment of the porch are decorated with carved signs of Perun - Hailstones.
On the western side of the house, all material values \u200b\u200bshould be located, be it money, jewelry or pantries with food supplies. Then prosperity and well-being will continuously dominate in the house. In the West, it is also necessary to equip a business place, then any business will bring tangible material results.
These are just some of the principles of arranging the Okay House by our Ancestors, which can be a talisman and a real family nest for those who inhabit it. The Slavic knowledge on home improvement itself is very extensive, and includes, among other things, information about the creation of home amulets that drive away misfortunes and ailments, and exalt goodness, ancient rituals that call the Power and Grace of the Gods and Elements into the house. And many many others.
And even if you don't live in own house, and in a high-rise apartment, using the wisdom of our Ancestors, you can turn it from a gray typical cold crypt into a native corner that warms the Soul and heart.
Perunov - the cross is one of the options for the protective sign laid in the house.
