It is necessary for his wife to the great God of Gode, who on a par with other light deities supports the world created by genus and weld, in constant motion.
Makosh (or Makosh) is the eldest of the goddesses that are hiding human destinies. She sends high in the heavenly panels, and next to her two helpers are sitting - share and no longer. Together, they will place the binding threads of the fate, which connect the person and the fruits of his efforts, both good and bad.
In order to be clearer, poking is what unites the beginning of any case with his end, the reason with the investigation, creation with the Creator, the intention with the result.
Macoos are known all the secrets of fate of human, it owns information and about past lives, and on subsequent incarnations. She is equally obeyed and life and death obey. She is also the goddess of magic, sorcerence, ladies of intersections between different worlds.
But that is not all. In addition, the Divine Mother performs the following functions:
- Provides its patronage to female fertility, motherhood;
- attracts a good harvest and high income;
- helps in any female activities (spinning, needlework);
- gives his defense and patronage to all hostesses and beans.
If the goddess did not give up a good look at the farm, then you can not count on a generous harvest, nor on high profits, family income.
Our ancestors of Slavs worshiped Makoli as a hostess of wildlife every full moon.
But Makos is a female deity, therefore it has variability - it attracts human and good, and bad events. Gives mercy and award only those who have a strong spirit, actively fights for their place under the sun. And lazy people do not complain and will not help them with their help and support.
It helps to find solutions even in the very meaning of hopeless situations. The main thing is that a person does not despair, did not lose faith and continued to move on without changing his goal. Observing this, Makosh sends to him, who is goddess of happiness and good luck. Srecha comes and provides his help.

The rejected will be carried out in the life of terrible old women: denying one-eyed, curve, nozzles, a week, disrespect for the place, where the carna and shill are crying over the graves of people.
Makoshi still has one important task - to control the observance of rituals, customs. Those who adhere to the traditions of the genus will honor the vintage rites, she gives their mercy. Eastern Slavs set the goddess figures made of wood, onto the wells. Also, she was brought to offerings in the form of fabrics, sacking, threads and sheep wool.
There are Machashi and their messengers among living beings. They are bees, spiders and ants - the largest workers from insects. That is why, if you saw a spider in your home, you do not need to be afraid and in no case can you kill it. So you will scare away from yourself good luck.
If the spider shove into your home, then it should be carefully caught and throwing out into the street. The same applies to bees and ants.
When the bumblebee either in the window either a bee, a certain event that concerns Makosha is foreshadowed. Our ancestors believed that the first bumblebee in the spring would necessarily contribute to a lot of luck at the next twelve months.
The insect wrapped in a handkerchief or a cloth so that he would notice a little there, and then they were released on the will. The rag latch retained a thin aroma of honey and pollen. She was considered a faith, which was kept in his home for good luck. Interestingly, but this custom has been preserved to this day. And now in some villages, Rodnovier is performed.
