Basme i bajanje u bosanskoj tradiciji

Šta su basme? Najlakši odgovor na to je da su one arhaični vid narodne (magijske) poezije, preteča današnjih molitvi i dova, kojom se izražavaju ljudske emocije i želje spram svega onoga u čemu je nekadašnji čovjek vidio potrebu da se manifestuje. Naime, još od Neolita ljudi vjeruju da svijet oko nas, odnosno priroda, ima svoj paranormalni oblik, sferu u kojoj obitavaju sve njene sile, a sa kojom smo mi ljudi povezani preko svoga duha ili duše (duhovnog tijela).
Kako su riječi energija, od koje smo i sami mi sazdani, sasvim je realno za pojmiti da je stvorena ideja da se posebno odabranim, i često rimovanim, stihovima može djelovati na tu energiju i proizvesti neki učinak.
Kako smo već spomenuli, moć samog bajanja počiva na određenim zakonitostima od kojih je najvažnija upravo - rima, naročito u ljubavnim tekstovima. Bez toga gubi se energija bajanja te zato sve bajalice, posebno one prevedena sa drugog jezika, nemaju učinak.
"Lako prebiranje jezikom" ili brz i poetičan govor, nemoguć je bez rimovanih riječi. A da je upravo tako dovoljno potvrđuje pop-folk muzika tojest pjesme. Najpopularnije numere su upravo one koje imaju brz tekst (rimu), jer se lako pamte i samim tim su dinamične te nam tako svima privlače pažnju. Najbolji primjer je mega popularni pjevač Halid Bešlić. Malo je ljudi sa područja bivše Yu koji neznaju ovaj stih njegove pjesme a koji je, kako se vidi, u potpunosti rimovan:

Ko bi rek'o čuda da se dese,
da Miljacka mostove odnese,
da ne mogu tebi doć,
da ne mogu ulicom ti proć.

Ista stvar je i sa basmama. Moć riječi je da kod čovjeka pokrenu bilo koji osjećaj ili potrebu i u tome leži njihova ogromna snaga.
Bosanske basme i bajalice obiluju bogastvom narodnog jezika, poetičnim zanosom, kroz koji se pojedinac obraća prirodi, njenim silama, poistovjećujući se ili kiteći atributima koje joj pridaje.
Osim toga, basme i bajalice su neprocjenjiv dio književnog blaga, kroz njih, na primjer, uočavamo narječja pojedinih regija ali i ostavštinu ikavice, koja je bila veoma zastupljena u većem dijelu BiH u prošlim stoljećima, a u sjeverozapadnoj Bosni i sve do polovine prošlog vijeka.

Bosanske basme imaju svoje originalne stihove po kojima ih je vrlo lako prepoznati, i po tome su autentične. U onim egzorcističkim bajanjima uvijek susrećemo dijelove teksta "idite po svijetu k'o pčele po cvijetu" ili "iz masti u kost, iz kosti u meso, iz mesa u kožu..." U ljubavnim basmama, naglašava se upotreba pojmova Sunce, Mjesec, zvijezde, zlato, srebro a vrlo često se djevojka u basmi identificira sa vilama, kao nositeljima nadnaravne ljepote.
Kult vila, tako naglašen u ljubavnoj magiji, nije nimalo slučajan jer on svoje porijeklo ima u ilirskoj tradiciji, posebno kroz vile koje su često bile u društvu rogatog boga Vidasusa ili kao sama personifikacija boginje prirode Tane, sačuvane u legendi o kraljici vila Zlatnoj.
Basme i bajalice upravo su proizvod tog antičkog doba, kojima je dolaskom monoteizma odnosno Islama pridodat, ili bolje rečeno nakalemljen, vjerski motiv, najčešće na kraju, što se posebno dobro vidi u izjavi na završetku basme za traženje zdravlja "sa mojom basmom a božijom hazmom!", ili u nekim drugim "sa božijim emerom", "veledalin amin" itd.
Zbog toga su, prije svega, basme savršen spoj dva vremena, paganizma i monoteizma, i direktan pokazatelj kako su oni i više nego kompaktibilni elementi u duhovnoj svijesti našeg naroda.
Sve napisano tek je vrlo skroman uvid u ovaj aspekt narodnog usmenog stvaralaštva, koji predstavlja neprocjenjiv segment bosanske kulture i tradicije/identiteta. Zbog toga sve sročeno, osim intencije za upoznavanjem šireg kruga javnosti sa tematikom, ima i sasvim dovoljno pristojne smjernice o važnosti očuvanja (memorisanja) tog istog blaga za buduće generacije.

Basma da momak dođe ubrzo

Kad odlazi sa ljubavnog sastanka, a djevojka ga može vidjeti dok ide od nje kući, ona za njim tri puta ponovi ovu basmu i prije nego izgovori "veledalin amin" svaki put puhne za njim. Time ga obenđija da joj opet dođe ubrzo na susret.


N haj' tamo ne doš'o,
duši mjesta ne naš'o,
kod kuće te čekaju ovce,
ljute krvarice,
krvlju natopljene,
govnom namazane,
'vamo ti je ostala džamija,
i u džamija ja sultanija.
Crko, puko, seho, veho,
dok mi ne doš'o,
i mladu ne naš'o,
nikad me sa misli ne smet'o,
dok se meni ne vratio,
amin veledalin.

(Stijena - Cazin)

Basma za ljepotu i ljubav

Dok se ujutro umiva djevojka baje:

Ja se umi zeftinom, bejtinom,
studenom vodicom,
mednom rosicom.
Gdje je ova vila bila
sve do sada?
Obraz mi je obraz beg,
oči su mi vile, obrvice strile,
koga očima prostrilim,
obrvama premamim.
Ja uzmami i primami,
i putnika i namjernika
a najviše svog suđenika.
Amin, amin, amin!

(Sarajevo - Travnik)

Bajanje od uroka

Ima Sijerma devetoro djece;
od devetero - osmero,
od osmero - sedmero,
od sedmero - šestero,
od šestero - petero,
od petero - četvero,
od četvero - troje,
od troje - dvoje,
od dvoje - jedno,
od jedno - nijedno!
Idi, uročice, iz masti u kost,
iz kosti u meso,
iz mesa u kožu,
iz kože u dlaku,
iz dlake u visoku planinu,
gdje horoz ne pjeva,
gdje Ezan ne uči,
gdje se ovca ne janji,
gdje se krava ne teli,
gdje se kobila ne ždrijebi.
Idite muke po svijetu,
k'o pčele po cvijetu,
prslo, rasprslo,
u kamen udarilo,
u suhi bor, u planinu!
Veledalin amin.

(Sandžak)

Basma kad se ubire ljekovito (magijsko) bilje

Ja uzbrah ove trave,
iz bašče hazreti Have,
hazreti Hava travu sadila,
i sa njom svaki namet i nagaz skidala.

Kada koristi ubranu biljku onda stravarka govori:

Od majčice zemljice travčica,
od mene basmica,
a od Boga velikog i dragoga
derman i iladž!

(Velika Kladuša)

FALETARKE – BOSNIAN FORTUNE-TELLING CARDS

Faletarke are traditional fortune-telling cards from Bosnia, whose exact origin is still a subject of speculation. It is believed that they first appeared in the 19th century in Sarajevo and central Bosnia. Their creator is unknown. Among the Bosnian people, they are very well known and widely used due to their simplicity, as well as their great potential for revealing both the past and the future. The deck of cards you see before you is a modern version featuring English card names.

Below, you will find a detailed introduction to each card and its meaning.

Star

This is a card of destiny. Its absence in a spread, across three rows, means that the life of the querent (client) is not predetermined — there is no heavy karmic fate. Instead, the querent shapes their own happiness through personal decisions and choices. This is considered a blessing, as in this lifetime the person has been given the freedom to build themselves without past, inherited burdens that relentlessly push a person in a single direction.

The Bosnian name of the card is: ZVIJEZDA

Door

This card is very interesting in its interpretation because, on its own, it symbolizes entry and exit, new opportunities, someone’s arrival or departure, and as such it can be called a card of action. When the Padlock card is positioned next to it, it represents business problems, a sense of isolation, and monotony. If the Gentleman, Lady, or Society card appears before it in the spread, it foretells a visitor, guests, or a gathering at home.

           The Bosnian name of the card is: VRATA

Wreath

The Wreath is one of the happiest cards in the faletarki deck, and as such it generally signifies only positive events, such as a court victory if it appears next to the Scales card, marriage when it is beside the Love card, or recovery if it touches the Bed card.

The Bosnian name of the card is: VIJENAC

Misfortune

When this card appears first in a spread, it indicates that the querent is facing difficulties, whether related to love, work, health, money, or other areas of life. When Misfortune appears next to the Fortune card, it signifies a highly turbulent period that may last for several years.

            The Bosnian name of the card is: BELAJ

New House

This card always signifies a new phase in life: relocation, a change of job, moving abroad, or confronting new circumstances. It is a card of transformation and change.

The Bosnian name of the card is: NOVA KUĆA

Moon

This is a card of the night, discretion, intuition, and the subconscious. When combined with the Love card, it represents a romantic person — someone who enjoys dreaming and indulging in fantasies. When it appears in a spread, it advises the querent to take a pause, not to rush into decisions; at this time, they need peace and rest.

The Bosnian name of the card is: MJESEC

Money

This is a card of money, earnings, and profit. It represents all forms of material gain. When appearing next to a negative card such as Misfortune, it may indicate bankruptcy, and when placed beside the Lie card, it can symbolize a greedy and unscrupulous person.  

The Bosnian name of the card is: NOVAC

Padlock

This card, as illustrated by its image, signifies blockage — something that is closed, locked, and inaccessible. When placed next to the Path card, it symbolizes a delayed journey. When appearing beside the Scales card, it indicates imprisonment or the possibility of a legal sentence. If found, for example, next to the Love card, it speaks of strong emotions and a deep bond between two people. It may also indicate impotence, throat-related issues, or constipation.

The Bosnian name of the card is: KILIT

Friend

This is a card of friendship, good relationships, meeting new people, as well as reconciliation. When positioned near the Mill card, it signifies a business agreement or a job interview. If it touches the Fortune card, then the person asking the question is quite literally a favorite of luck.

The Bosnian name of the card is: PRIJATELJ

Spirit

This is one of the most mysterious cards in the entire deck, and most Bosnian fortune-tellers interpret it as an “empty card,” which usually means that nothing is currently happening in the life of the person asking the question — he or she is standing in a vacuum. It also indicates that nothing will come of one’s wishes, that they will not be fulfilled, and that someone’s promise will “turn into smoke” — meaning it will amount to nothing.

The Bosnian name of the card is: DUH

Love

 This is one of the most beautiful cards in the deck. It represents love in all its forms, not only love between two people. It may point to what the querent loves in life — for example, next to the Money card it suggests a love of material things; next to the Path card, it indicates an adventurous person who enjoys travel; next to the Society card, it shows someone who enjoys socializing and gatherings, and so on. When positioned between the Gentleman and the Lady, or between the Young Man and the Young Woman, it signifies pure and sincere love.

The Bosnian name of the card is: LJUBAV

Speed

This is my favorite card. It literally represents speed, and as such predicts that what the fortune-teller “sees” will manifest within a short period of time. For example, when this card is positioned next to the Path card, it announces that the querent will soon go on a journey, even if they are not currently planning one. Next to the Money card, it predicts quick financial gain; next to the Love card, an adventure, and so on.

            The Bosnian name of the card is: BRZINA

Hand of God

Probably the most energetically powerful card in the entire deck, its meaning is divine, as it represents God’s strength, the power of blessing, and protection. It completely neutralizes the negative influence of any unfavorable card next to which it is positioned. Bosnian fortune-tellers have a custom of placing this card on top of the deck when putting it away, face up toward the sky, believing that until the next reading the cards will be infused with divine energy that will enhance their intuition and inspiration.

The Bosnian name of the card is: BOŽJA RUKA

Fortune

This is a card of luck, positive energy, joy, and pleasure. When placed next to the Sun card, it symbolizes joy of life, ease, and inner peace. Its special quality is that it brings good fortune to any card it touches — to the left or right, above or below — softening negative influences or enhancing positive effects. In terms of timing, it indicates a period of six months.

The Bosnian name of the card is: NAFAKA

Stairs

 This is a card of ascent, progress, rising to a higher level, growth, and advancement. However, as Bosnian fortune-tellers explain, a cat is sleeping at the foot of the stairs — a classic symbol of flattery and ingratiation used for personal gain. Therefore, it is suggested that, in order for the querent’s rise to be faster and more secure, they should use charm, praise, and tactful appeasement in achieving their goal.

The Bosnian name of the card is: STEPENICE

News

This is a classic card featuring a bird in flight as a symbol of incoming news. However, the distinctive feature of this card is that the bird holds a key in its beak, and therefore the card offers a solution to a blockage, obstacle, difficulty, or problem when it touches the Padlock card. Likewise, when positioned next to the Door card, it literally opens it, thereby foretelling a resolution to the problem or success in what the querent is planning.

The Bosnian name of the card is: HABER

Waiting

This card literally signifies waiting, sluggishness, and slowness. Nothing happens quickly or in the near future. Patience is required. When this card is positioned next to a negative one, it indicates that a problem, illness, or unpleasant situation will last for a certain period of time. The positive aspect of this card is that when placed next to the Hand of God card, it foretells a very long life for the querent.

The Bosnian name of the card is: ČEKANJE

Burden

This is a karmic card; it represents our karma, the life burden we carry, as well as our obligations. It can also indicate hard work when it is located near the Mill card, or legal problems if it touches or is in close proximity to the Scales card.

The Bosnian name of the card is: Teret

Worry

As its name suggests, this is a card of worry, doubt, fear, and insecurity. Sometimes the worry is justified, especially when this card is positioned next to cards such as Misfortune, Enemy, Fire, Crossroads, and others. On the other hand, the worry is completely unnecessary if this card touches any of the following cards: Sun, Fortune, Wreath, Hand of God, Gain, etc. When placed next to the Love card, it indicates worries related to love; next to the Mill or Money card, business or financial worries; next to the Bed card, health-related worries.

           The Bosnian name of the card is: BRIGA

Strenght

This is a very powerful and strong card, as its name itself reveals. It represents strength, youth, endurance, libido, strong potential, and the ability of the querent to withstand all the difficulties surrounding them. When the Strength card is positioned next to the Wreath card, it brings victory, whether in sports, a court case, or a business project. When it touches the Love card, it reveals strong emotions and a deep bond between two people; however, if a negative card is also present, it may indicate possessiveness, jealousy, and a desire for dominance.

The Bosnian name of the card is: SNAGA

Grave

In classical symbolism, this card represents death, the end of a certain period, and the conclusion of a story. As such, it often evokes feelings of sadness, disappointment, and even loneliness. However, the meaning of this card is not exclusively negative; very often it simply signifies a shorter or longer pause between two events. For this reason, Bosnian fortune-tellers refer to it as an “empty card” — similar to the Spirit card — and most often interpret it with the following words: “At the moment, nothing interesting or important is happening in relation to your work (or love life, relationship, marriage), and patience is required. For now, stagnation prevails.”

          The Bosnian name of the card is: MEZAR

Conflict

Without any doubt, this is a card of conflict, disputes, human disagreements, discord, and uncontrolled emotions. Wherever it appears, this card reveals dissatisfaction — either on the part of the querent or from another person toward them. It symbolizes problems in communication, the need for diplomacy, but also the need for clearer expression of one’s thoughts and position. When placed next to the Love card, it foretells a romantic argument or marital crisis. Next to the Enemy card, it indicates that you may expect a hostile attack.

           The Bosnian name of the card is: SVAĐA

Letter

This is a card of surprise, which can be either positive or negative, and it also symbolizes the arrival of written news (in the form of a document). This card is often interpreted as a symbol of official paperwork; for example, when placed next to the Scales card, it indicates a summons or notice from the court. When the Path card appears nearby, it signals news from abroad, while if this card is positioned next to the Old House card, it may represent a will or testament.

          The Bosnian name of the card is: PISMO

Bed

This card points to rest, relaxation, intimate experiences, but also to illness. Everything depends on which card or cards surround it. When positioned next to the Beggar Woman or the Old Man card, it most often indicates illness or the need for rest. When placed next to or near the Love card, its meaning is literal: sex. However, if this card is positioned next to the Grave card, it signifies apathy, loss of energy, and a lack of strength and will.

          The Bosnian name of the card is: KREVET

Loss

This card is negative in its meaning, as it warns of loss, failure, and damage. As such, it represents a disturbing element that brings stagnation and signals the need for consolidation and recovery. When placed next to or near the Money card, it points to significant financial problems. A similar meaning applies when it appears near the Mill card, where it may indicate job loss, business setbacks, or even bankruptcy. When positioned next to the Child card, for a female querent, it often signifies miscarriage or the loss of a child. If the Stairs card appears next to it, there is protection from loss and the possibility of avoiding it.

           The Bosnian name of the card is: GUBITAK

Young Man

Although this card represents a young man, it often actually signifies a young querent, and in love readings for a woman it represents her lover. In addition, this card symbolizes infatuation, passion, freedom, rebellion against authority, and as such it brings “small revolutions” and sudden changes into everyday events. When this card is positioned next to the Young Woman card, the two together represent a romantic couple. The Young Man card next to the Gentleman or Lady card signifies a son, and next to the Old Man or Beggar Woman card, a male grandchild.

            The Bosnian name of the card is: MLADIĆ

Young Woman

This card always represents a young woman — a young female querent — who, in love divination for a man, becomes his lover. It symbolizes longing, passion, infatuation, capriciousness, and very narrow-minded thinking. Namely, the Young Man and Young Woman cards often provide a very limited view of reality; for them, everything is either black or white, with no other options in between. For this reason, especially when the cards are laid out to analyze a situation or a problem, these two cards should be interpreted as cards of obstruction and as an indication of the need for alternative solutions and different perspectives.

           The Bosnian name of the card is: DJEVOJKA

Enemy

This is one of the darkest cards in the entire Faletarke deck, as it represents an enemy, a rival, a person with hidden intentions — someone who never truly wishes you well. It always represents an obstacle. The Enemy card is most often interpreted in contact with another card; for example, if it touches the Loss card, it signifies a thief; if it touches the Old Man card, a sorcerer; when it touches the Beggar Woman card, a witch; next to the Love card, a rival; next to the Mill card, an unpleasant boss or coworker, and so on.

The Bosnian name of the card is: HASUM

Child

This is one of the gentlest cards in the entire deck, symbolizing early childhood, innocence, birth, first steps, and new beginnings. It is always a symbol of something new, and as such, it is a card of change. When positioned next to the Love card, it foretells a new love, a new emotional relationship, or a new romantic partner. Next to the Mill card, it indicates a new job; next to the Fortune card, new luck — an exceptionally positive period lasting six months — during which you can realize your wishes or plans. When analyzing the past, if this card is positioned next to the Beggar Woman card, it may reveal that the querent had an unhappy childhood.

The Bosnian name of the card is: DIJETE

Gentleman

In addition to representing a male querent of more mature age, this card signifies security, protection, certain life achievements, and often the entry into a new phase of life. When placed next to the Lady card, it represents a married man; when near the Child or Old Man card, it indicates a parent. When positioned close to the Mill card, it signifies a businessman, while next to the Wreath card it reveals an athlete.

          The Bosnian name of the card is: GOSPODIN

Lady

This card represents a female querent of mature age and often signifies a married woman or a mother. It may also represent a businesswoman when positioned near the Mill or Money card. When placed next to the Enemy card, it indicates a dangerous enemy. If it touches the Old House card, this woman is a relative.

           The Bosnian name of the card is:  GOSPOĐA

Beggar Woman

This is a card of helplessness, weakness, illness, poverty, and crisis. When placed next to the Money card, it indicates someone who will ask you for money, either as a loan or financial assistance. When positioned next to the Love card, it represents a partner who lacks self-respect. If it appears alongside the Enemy card, it serves as a warning to beware of manipulators. When this card touches the Old House card, it points to bankruptcy and a poor standard of living. Among the most unfavorable positions for this card is when it appears next to the Loss card, indicating major material loss and poverty, and next to the Misfortune card, where it signifies foreclosure, heavy debts, and a long period of hardship and failure.

            The Bosnian name of the card is: PROSJAKINJA

Scales

This is a classic card symbolizing justice, truth, and the pursuit of harmony. In its deeper meaning, it represents the court, a jury, or official figures such as lawyers, judges, notaries, or the police. It signifies what is commonly referred to as “the state.” When it appears first in a spread, it reveals that the querent is a person who strives for perfection, always tries to perform their work as well as possible, and is inclined toward good organization. This card stands in opposition to the Lie card.

           The Bosnian name of the card is: VAGA

Table

This is a card of everyday life pleasures as well as basic needs. It reflects the querent’s achievements, whether they are related to work, love, or family life. This card harmonizes perfectly with the Chair card; when they appear next to each other, it means that everything in the querent’s life is as it should be — they are content and at peace. When placed next to the Mill card, it signifies a business sale and indicates that any sale undertaken will bring positive results. The Table card next to the Bed card points to sensual pleasures, showing that the querent knows how to enjoy life.

           The Bosnian name of the card is: STOL

Bag

This is a classic card of travel, arrival or departure, especially if it is preceded by any of the following cards: Path, Crossroads, River, Door, Old House, or New House. On the other hand, when this card is positioned next to the Money card, it foretells large sums of money, savings in a bank, or significant profit. In health-related readings, the Bag card represents the stomach.

           The Bosnian name of the card is: TORBA

River

This is a fluid card, one that ensures no situation in which the querent finds themselves remains static, but instead is constantly changing. For some Bosnian fortune-tellers, the River card represents human life itself, and they interpret the surrounding cards in order to determine the most important events that have occurred or are yet to occur in the querent’s life. When placed next to the Child card, it foretells tears and sadness; when next to the Fire card, it signifies the calming of a tense situation, the cooling of emotions, and the beginning of indifference or emotional withdrawal by a romantic partner. A special quality of this card is that, through its presence, it drives away negative influences from a person’s life. For example, when positioned next to the Misfortune card, it indicates that problems are already slowly fading from the querent’s life.

The Bosnian name of the card is: RIJEKA

Crossroads

This is one of my favorite cards. It signifies an upcoming decision — one that the querent, whether they want to or not, will have to make soon. This card also grants freedom and the right to choose, teaching us that we must be responsible toward ourselves. When placed next to the Enemy card, it warns us not to listen to others, as they do not wish us well. When next to the Love card, it reveals that either we or our partner do not value fidelity and are inclined toward infidelity. When positioned next to the Money card, it indicates that the querent is spending money on meaningless things or unnecessary needs, advising a more cautious approach to finances and the household budget.

          The Bosnian name of the card is: RASKRŠĆE

Path

“Everyone chooses their own path,” says an old Bosnian proverb; however, in this case, the Path card (in addition to its classic meaning of travel) actually reveals whether there are obstacles ahead of the querent or not — as is the case when the Padlock card is positioned next to it. In that situation, any undertaking the querent attempts will be unsuccessful. When this card appears next to the Crossroads card, it reveals that the querent is in a state of boredom and confusion, unsure of what to do with themselves, and as a result, they tend to focus more on other people’s lives than on their own.

          The Bosnian name of the card is: DRUM

Gain

This is a card of luck, sudden joy, and happiness. It signifies a gain or a gift. When placed next to the Child card, it indicates a new pregnancy for a female querent, and when next to the Beggar Woman card, it represents that the querent will finally receive what they desire. If positioned next to the Enemy card, it warns against accepting gifts or help from others, as behind false kindness there may be a malicious plan. 

           The Bosnian name of the card is: DOBITAK

Old Man

This card always signifies something old, and its meaning is multifaceted. It may represent a former or past love when positioned next to the Love card, and when placed beside the Path card, it reveals that the querent is a creature of habit. Nothing changes in their life; everything remains the same. Next to the Child card, it represents the oldest child in the family. When placed beside the Grave card, it signifies a long life for the querent. When the cards are consulted to determine whether a wish will be fulfilled or a plan realized, if the Old Man card appears last or near the end of the spread, it is a sign that a long time will pass before the wish is fulfilled or the plan comes to fruition.

           The Bosnian name of the card is: STARAC

Society

As its name suggests, this is a card of society, friends, acquaintances, and the people who surround us. When placed next to the Mill card, it represents coworkers; next to the Old House card, friends from the past; and next to the New House card, neighbors. When the Friend card is positioned alongside the Society card, it reveals that the querent is an extremely social person, charismatic and open-spirited. The presence of this card next to the Table card is a sign that the querent will attend a social gathering or party. When the Society card appears next to the Money card, it indicates that the querent tends to associate exclusively with wealthy people.

           The Bosnian name of the card is: DRUŠTVO

Chair

This is an interesting card to interpret. It always foretells a visitor when positioned next to any of the following cards: Child, Young Man, Young Woman, Lady, Gentleman, Old Man, or Beggar Woman. When this card stands next to the Table card, it indicates that you will be invited to lunch or a social gathering. When placed next to the Loss card, it symbolizes the loss of position, employment, or reputation. When positioned next to the Bed card, it indicates illness.

           The Bosnian name of the card is: STOLICA

Old House

This is, above all, a card of the past, our roots, and the place we come from, but it also shows who we once were and who we are now. When positioned next to the New House card, it foretells relocation or moving. When placed beside the Strength card, it reveals good genes, proper upbringing, and that we come from a family in which no one gives up without a fight. If this card appears next to the Love card, it indicates that the querent has a failed marriage behind them. When positioned next to the Society card, it signals that the querent may change their surroundings or living environment for a shorter or longer period of time.

 

                     The Bosnian name of the card is: STARA KUĆA

Mill

This is a card of work, career, earnings, profit, and human activity. Like all other cards, it is most often interpreted in correlation with the surrounding cards. When the Letter and Friend cards appear next to each other, and the Mill card is in close proximity, it is a certain sign of signing a contract. The Mill card together with the Money card promises the acquisition of wealth.  

The Bosnian name of the card is: MLIN
