Ritual “Reflating the Put” to the child: What is it for?
What are the ways to “cut the wagons” in a small child so that he gets as soon as possible and go? Many modern parents did not hear about this ancient custom at all, and some of the parents are completely worshiped by this rite and constantly think about how exactly, and at what time this rite is not late. After all, he will push the child to stand on his legs faster, will teach to easily start walking without anyone's help.
“Cutting Put” is carried out at the age of up to a year or a year. This rite takes its origins from paganism. It was previously believed that the newly born person does not have any abilities. He is helpless and vulnerable. He comes to us from the underground world. When a person is born, he needs to weaken an alliance with the supernatural world and find strength and will to struggle for his existence.
At the moment, it is already clear what they mean “bonds” and where they get their origins from. This is a fantastic union of the underworld with a child and in infancy, he needs to get rid of this union. To do this, they came up with the ritual of “cutting the Put”. In order to undoubtedly cut them, in the old days the person is called from a family who personifies strength and success.
The main question that arises in young parents before the ritual: “What benefit will he bring to the child?” However, grandparents sacredly believed in the rite of “cutting the Put” by the baby. Since, if you do not have time, this is done on time, it will be more difficult for the child to learn how to walk.
This ritual should:
- Protect the baby from evil spirits.
- Protect from misfortune, damage, fears in the future.
- Give confidence in life and in yourself.
- To teach to go through life with a high -raised head.
All of the above beliefs imply only concern for the baby. Each family members are trying to protect the child from all the dangers that happen in his path.
Kazakh ritual Tusau Caeser
The nomads of the ancient Kazakhs believed in the existence of the god Tengri. He embodied the sky in himself. The nomads believed in the existence of three worlds: underground, earthly and heaven. A person, when born, must go through all worlds. The newborn is tightly connected with the underground world and it appears there, trying to make maximum efforts in order to go to the world of earthly. With each month of the baby’s life, the connection weakens, and when the baby begins to walk and completely breaks. However, the child needs help to break the bonds. In this he will be helped by his native people.
To date, the most colorful and solemn ceremony of deliverance of the baby from the "Put" is carried out by Kazakh peoples. It is customary to gather the whole family, to invite close relatives. Kroch is put on a Kazakh national robe. If he already knows how to walk, let go along the path lined with white cloth.
The baby who has not yet learned how to walk on his own helps. The kid should, as it were, simulate running along the white track.
In this case, it is necessary to wrap the legs three times:
- With a colored thread (depicts the power of being and helps to overcome problems in the future, instills mind and honesty).
- A ribbon from the gut of the ram (symbolizes life in abundance and satiety).
- Dried grass (image of growth, physical and mental development, strong and rich offspring).
However, in ancient times, the legs were wrapped with a black and white thread. The rite should conduct a strong spirit, a brave and prosperous person who has achieved everything that he wanted in this life. They choose this person very thoroughly. He will be a kind of mentor to the child throughout his life will help in all his endeavors, and support in the most difficult times.
The path along which the baby passes is showered with sweets. At the end of the journey, three things will be waiting for him: fresh bread, money and all kinds of books. His future will depend on himself, and as usual, he himself makes a choice. The thing that he will choose and will be his purpose in the future.
After the rite, parents and invited guests give gifts and hold other rites, have fun and rejoice.
"Dissection of the Put" in the Slavic culture
In ancient times, the Slavic peoples had a very great mortality. It was believed that the child who is endowed with the gift of walking will be able to survive. Only the person who first can notice the first attempts and desire of the baby walk to go.
It was necessary to draw a line or cross through the baby’s legs, using any sharp object. It was a kind of dissection of the baby’s fear of walking on his own.
Modern young parents and grandmothers who keep the customs of their ancestors in memory, conduct the ceremony with the help of the rib of the palm. So they at the subconscious level, as it were, save the legs and give them the right to take independent steps.
When should the ritual be carried out?
It is not so important to conduct this rite with an invitation of a large number of guests, since it is carried out by Kazakhs, or in a family circle.
The main thing is to take into account some points:
- This action should be performed at the moment when the baby is trying, but he does not go out to take independent steps without the support of loved ones. Sometimes this can be combined with the first year of life.
- It will be wrong if you rush and adjust the child when the baby is only trying to raise the leg to take the first step. It is not recommended to do this when the baby is in one place.
- You should start cutting from the bottom, but be vigilant so as not to injure and frighten the child. It is better not to use sharp objects.
- Movements should be crosswise and should be repeated three times.
- Sometimes, in order to somehow identify the wagons, take ropes and conditionally dissect them. However, this is not so easy to do, because at this age the kids are very mobile.
Is it worth trusting the rite of “cutting Put”?
Modern mothers and dads are in spectacle, whether it is necessary to “break the wagons” at all, who is learning to walk. Is there any sense in these rituals?
- Some think that this rite will not affect the child in any way.
- Others believe that this rite will bring trouble, and it is dangerous for the baby. This opinion is shared by deeply believers. The Holy Scripture says that if you hook the imaginary unclean power, then you can violate the commandment about the existence of the only savior.
- Still others believe that there is no sense in this ritual, it does not work. When the time comes, the baby himself will learn to walk.
Sometimes modern families are not serious to this rite. They do not pay any attention when one of the family members or the priest himself quietly dissects the legs of the baby with the edge of the palm or knife.
- Moms believe that this ritual has no power, but when the grandmother leads his palm between the baby's legs, he sharply begins to learn to walk himself.
- Some parents believe that this ritual will not affect the mental and physical development of the child and is in no way connected with the ability to keep balance while walking.
- There are also parents who did not know about the existence of this ritual and say that their baby learned to walk without this rite.
If we assume that this method is less costly and simple, then why not. Nevertheless, only on you and your family will depend on the rite of “cutting” or not.
All parents, without exception, try to invest in an effort to give the child the opportunity to make his very first and such long -awaited steps. After all, who will help him walk in life with a confident and bold gait-mom and dad believe in something true. Some sacredly believe in the power of prayer, or magical ancient rituals that were transmitted to us from the ancestors.
