00:00 We are in the house of Zgłupczyn.
00:04 Today we are presenting herbs in the magic of love.
00:08 And we are using them during the Andrzejkow Worships.
00:12 In the past, linseed was used in the Worships.
00:16 Balls were formed from the packs of linseeds,
00:20 which were set on fire.
00:22 If such a ball was lifted up,
00:25 it meant that next year we could expect a wedding.
00:29 However, if we used a plant called myrtle or myrtle,
00:36 we took off its leaves, which we let into the water.
00:41 Based on these leaves and their movement in the water,
00:45 we interpreted whether we could expect a wedding or not.
00:49 If these leaves came closer to each other,
00:52 it meant that we could expect a marriage next year.
00:58 We also interpreted apple peels.
01:02 When girls peeled an apple,
01:05 they checked what shape it was,
01:08 in what letter.
01:10 If, for example, it was in the letter M,
01:14 it meant that we could marry Maciej next year.
01:20 However, plants, herbs, bushes were also used as amulets.
01:27 They were carried with them, sewn into clothes,
01:30 which was supposed to cause love to the other person.
01:34 The popular aphrodisiac was lupczyk,
01:37 which was added to food,
01:39 i.e. through the stomach to the heart.
01:42 It was also wanted to arouse love for oneself with the help of meals.
01:48 Various procedures were also believed,
01:51 usually performed by boys on St. Catherine's Day,
01:57 and girls on St. Andrew's Day.
02:00 There were many fairies.
02:02 Depending on the region,
02:04 these fairies differed slightly.
02:07 Depending on the state,
02:10 in some areas,
02:12 some were more popular, others less.
02:15 Today, the group was surprised by the fairy from Lnógrz,
02:20 that when the linseed was burned,
02:22 the firewood rose to the top.
02:25 It was a surprise for them,
02:28 because they were certainly not a witness to such procedures every day.
02:33 Anyway, linseed and firewood were burned on the body in the past,
02:38 by putting the fetus on the firewood,
02:41 to dispel the charm,
02:44 or to get rid of various pains
02:49 that could come from the charm of the witch.
02:54 In the framework of folk therapies,
02:57 folk medicine, such procedures were used.
