===Other Lieldienas beliefs === * Before the sunrise, go to the barn to pick up crumbs, so that the money stays. * Wake up as early as possible on Lieldiena morning, in order to do your job well all year, just put on a new shirt and go whip the sleep away. * On Lieldienas morning, water from every (toward the sun's current position) rivers is holy. Use water, which flows toward the sun, - ''living water''- to wash mouth, so no one could harm you. It can be collected and it does not go bad all year. It can be used to bless buildings β such as barns, so that goblins and insects do not enter them. * Trim finger nails before the sunrise, so that eyes won't hurt. Also the rag is pulled over the pasture β to collect dew. The rag collected dew and were given to cows to drink. * On Lieldienas, lie down on dew, in order to be healthy all year round. * On the crossroads, where the fairies live and being vices of home, sweep rubbish before the sunrise, to chase away insects. Hence β donate to crossroads spirits, or to MΔras of dark dimension (whom Greeks called Hecate, while Indians called Kali.) * Lieldienas requires a lot of swinging - so you would not oversleep throughout the whole year! * With a tar draw signs on the barn doors to prevent changeling. β What signs are drawn? β The Incubus cross - either with 5, or 8 lines, and 3 toads, which are considered to be a sign of wealth. Draw fire crosses β to ward off evil spirits and a few more characters. * Judging by what drawn on new safety signs, the prohibitions are known β such as do not leave clothes outside for a night and do not give milk to strangers, so cattle are could not be enchanted. In the morning, before sunrise, go around the house 3 times with a scythe over shoulder β to chase away the evil spirits. * In order for cows to not gallop, ride around your borders on a broom 3 times, during the sunless Lieldienas morning. If on Lieldienas night you run around house with a rowan club β that house cannot be enchanted.
