Why don't they give empty dishes. Things you can't borrow
In the old days, every person knew the signs for the house. Observance of household superstitions promises good luck and money, prevents troubles and helps to predict the future without guesswork. We recommend following the precepts of the ancestors and joining the folk wisdom.
Household superstitions - the meaning of the threshold
In Slavic signs about the house, the threshold was identified with a portal to another dimension, the boundary between the world of spirits and familiar reality. From here take the roots of superstition about the treatment of infants. The patient is allegedly forever handed over to the sorceress through the threshold, then they take him out of the window, meeting him like a new addition to the family. wedding omen advises the groom to carry the bride over the threshold. If she stumbles at the entrance to the house, happy life you can not wait.
Do not sit on the threshold - lure bad rumors about yourself. Single belief promises difficulties in love affairs. Do not stand at the entrance for a long time, happiness and prosperity will leave through the open door. Old people say that one who stands on the threshold of money and happiness closes the road to the house. Pregnant women are in danger in the form of evil spirits, so expectant mothers were forbidden to stand at the entrance to the house and sit on the threshold.
When going on business, step over the threshold with your right foot to attract good luck. Do not eat at this time, you risk getting a demon in your neighbors. To drive away an unwanted guest, seat him with his back to the exit. Soon he will remember urgent matters and say goodbye to you.
Notes about windows
Throwing trash out the window is a bad idea. Angels sometimes look through it, you can offend them. When the window is opened by a gust of wind, divine messengers warn of something good. Sitting on the windowsill - to loneliness. This refers not only to failures in personal life, but also to the absence of friends, poor relations with colleagues and relatives.
The curtain torn or fell - the hostess of the room will quarrel with her friend. If the window is broken or cracked, the protection of the apartment is weakened. You are threatened by an evil sorcerer or evil spirit. The first consequences will concern communication with people.
In an apartment with windows facing north, few people stay for a long time. Sometimes this sign has a positive meaning - the most inveterate sloths in such a house may have a craving for travel or another reason to spend less time at home. But more often we are talking about heavy energy, which repels residents.
Kitchen beliefs
Bake - heart of home, the place where magic is born. If the hearth has not been used for a long time, it should be crossed before kindling. And in general, fire is supposed to be kindled with prayer. It flares up quickly - which means that the spirit of an ancestor or a brownie is nearby. Do not sit on the stove while cooking, otherwise the food will spoil. A brick fell out of the fireplace - to trouble. The “color” of the energy at home primarily affects the state of the hearth.
Sprinkle salt - to the scandal. But another belief advises throwing three pinches over the left shoulder to stop the argument. Scattered sugar - to a pleasant surprise, reconciliation, good luck.
Do not store crockery with cracks or chips. It brings misfortune and brings disharmony into the energy of the house. Needed for needlework - take it to the barn, superstition is not considered its living quarters. Do not be discouraged, the dishes beat for happiness.
Borrowed a bucket, pan or other container - return them full. According to signs, to return an empty bucket - to desolation and poverty. The more you give, the more you will receive from the universe.
Do not forget to leave treats for the brownie in the most secluded place in the kitchen. He will help with the housework, warn of trouble, protect from evil spirits and witchcraft. Sweets, porridge, pastries with honey are suitable. In honor of the holiday, you can leave a little wine.
Dining table and tablecloth
The kitchen table in rustic magic plays the role altar, desktop for witchcraft affairs. Direct his energy to your benefit. In order to acquire your own housing, often hold on to the corner of the table.
Sitting on the table - lose wealth. For a girl, they acquire additional meaning - they will forget how to cook deliciously. Leave shoes on the table or put your feet on it - to the gallows. A cat lying on the table - to the death or departure of one of the household members. “One of the tenants is lying down” - this is how the ancestors spoke about it.
Lending a kitchen table to neighbors or giving it to a young family is not forbidden by superstition. Just cover it with a tablecloth and give it away with it, otherwise poverty will come to the house where the table will be. You can not seat guests at an uncovered table. If someone from the household is late for dinner, shake the tablecloth over the table, and all obstacles in his path will disappear. You can store coins under the tablecloth, it attracts wealth.
While eating, do not knock on the table and dishes with cutlery, otherwise your teeth will ache. When you receive guests, put the spoons with the notch down so that outsiders cannot interfere in your personal life. If during the feast two spoons end up in one dish, there will be a wedding soon.
An unmarried girl must not sweep crumbs off the table with her hand, otherwise she will remain an old maid. The young man is also not worth it - the wife will be bald. Do not do this with paper napkins or a newspaper, you will invite scandals into the house. Use a sponge or cloth.
Bread is the head of everything
There are many signs about bread. They take it with their hands, it is not supposed to prick with a knife or fork, so as not to drive away happiness. You can’t eat from a knife at all, so as not to spoil your character.
When cutting, you can not leave the notched edge against the wall - all friends and acquaintances will turn away from the owner of the house. If the product crumbles and breaks during cutting, expect marital disagreements.
Bread is not “poked” into the salt shaker and a knife is left in it so that hungry times do not come. It is impossible to throw away the leftovers of baking, God will punish with hunger and poverty. Feed them to animals or birds. Undereating or underdrinking, throwing food away are bad omens in most Russian regions.
Culinary beliefs
Egg and chicken dishes are useful for newlyweds, in the old days they were eaten to conceive a child quickly. But do not forget to crush the empty shell so that the devil does not start in it. Watch the eggs while they cook. They crack at the guests.
Baked apples burst - expect good news. The owner who confused salt with sugar or vice versa can also count on good news. But he will have to come to terms with the fact that for another three days the food he cooked will be tasteless.
Forgetting to add spices is a nuisance. The sooner you correct the mistake, the less difficulties will fall on your head. Pancakes and cereals burn to the scandal in the family. In order for dishes, especially festive ones, to succeed, quarrels should be avoided.
Signs in the bedroom
Signs about mirrors do not advise keeping them in the bedroom. Especially if the mirrors are damaged. Cracks open the way for dark entities that are not averse to feeding on the energy of homeowners. Guests from mirror dimensions can harm the psyche and biofield of residents.
Another unwanted accessory for the bedroom - stuffed animals and horns. They radiate the energy of death and violence. Signs do not recommend leaving cold boiled water in the bedroom at night. It teases the demons. In the room where they sleep, it is not supposed to dry umbrellas, to tears. But it’s worth keeping them there, then there will always be “good weather” in the house.
The TV has no place where the husband and wife sleep, this is a divorce. Ficus has a bad effect on the physical side of love. Beliefs also accuse him of problems with conception. Ficus is also contraindicated for unmarried people, it will drive away boyfriends.
Home plants disappear where the spouses sleep - the marriage will not last long. This is one of the signs of damage or evil spirits. Call a priest, bless the house. And then start flower "women's happiness", which will neutralize the harm already done and protect the relationship. Also suitable is hibiscus, a flower that revitalizes relationships and returns passion.
The elephant is a symbol of family and fertility. Put a figurine depicting him in the bedroom of the newlyweds, and they will not have problems conceiving. To receive one as a gift with a covenant to put near the bed - for an early pregnancy. Seashells are best avoided as they negatively affect the health of sleepers.
Folk omens about house cleaning
Having garbage from the house of an enemy, you can damage it. Therefore, in the old days, rubbish was burned in a furnace or buried away from prying eyes. You can not dispose of garbage after sunset - to poverty. According to other signs - to the death of the owner of the house. It's better to clean up during the day. It should be clean at night, after sunset angels go home, look after their wards. The mess will offend them. Not cleaned in bad weather.
Do not wash floors after guests leave, wash them out of the house forever. The sign can be used to get rid of annoying visitors. "They block the road" and for good purposes - the mother of the bride washes the floor after her departure to the groom's house, so that she lives happily in a new place and does not aspire back.
Brooms and brooms in the old days were considered sacred objects. They can both heal and protect from evil, and ruin life - depending on whose hands they end up in. Keep the broom handle down and you will be protected from the evil eye. There can be only one broom in the house, sweeping with two sweeps out the positive energy of love, luck and money. People say: "You will scatter wealth in foreign corners." The old broom is supposed to be burned outside the house, and only after that buy a new one.
They sweep and wash the floor towards the kitchen so that the bins are full. The hostess, rushing to the front door, will lose her beauty and youth. You can't put things in order bad mood. And the result will not please, and quarrel with someone from home. If a girl does not know how to sweep, she will swear with her husband after the wedding.
The state of the mirror reflects the energy of the apartment. Therefore, do not keep it dirty, wipe it as often as possible. After cleaning, do not walk with an empty bucket, bring bad luck to those who meet along the way.
What to expect if "imagining"?
A lot can be imagined, and not all of this portends something. But if you happen to see a flickering light in your windows when no one is at home, expect happiness. Angels have marked your home with their presence.
To see a brownie - to grief. According to legend, the domovikha (wife of the brownie) cries at night before a misfortune in the family. Can you hear her crying? Get ready for the worst.
Knocking on the window at night is a sign of the death of a relative. But you can trust her only if there were not even traces of the visitor on the street. If this happens more than once, think about which of the deceased relatives you have undeservedly offended. He demands an apology. This interpretation is especially true if light steps are heard after a knock.
A night knock on the door also portends death. In the old days, it was believed that it was the Grim Reaper himself who knocked with the handle of his scythe. But do not deprive yourself of the opportunity to receive guests after sunset. Use your eyeball. If no one is there, don't open it. Better sprinkle the door with holy water and read "Our Father". If the door was opened out of ignorance, consecrate the apartment. If unknown people knock at night on the door or window of the house where there is a seriously ill person, one can give up hope of his recovery.
A strong knock can be emitted by branches or raindrops. Such sounds warn of the impossibility of starting a new business. Delay with the implementation of ideas. If insects hit the glass, a scandal can happen.
What not to do at home
The sign that forbids whistling in the apartment has many meanings. Some promise a lack of money, others - separation from one of the household members. The latter can expect both a long-awaited departure and death. Another superstition says that whistling is a witch's technique for summoning devils. To an ordinary person no good can be expected from them.
Don't stand near red corner(places where icons hang) in a headdress. This is a big sin, for it will definitely be punished. You can not store a broom near the images. The Bible and other sacred texts are not left where they eat and sit - on tables, sofas, chairs.
It is undesirable to pour water (water plants, wash, etc.) first thing after waking up. This is how luck is spilled, destined for a new day. You must not sing before breakfast, otherwise after dinner there will be a reason for tears.
Avoid accepting animals as a gift, they will not take root. Give the donor at least a few coins. Even a symbolic payment negates the negative meaning of belief. Steal a cat - to poverty, take it from the street - to prosperity.
Reeds are not allowed in the apartment. Along with this plant comes the evil spirits living in the swamp. It provokes illness and brings bad luck.
After the 50th anniversary, do not build a house for yourself. It is permissible to help children build and live in the house they have built for you. You can participate in the construction of housing for several generations.
Home and family signs keep the secrets of the happiness of bygone generations. They will tell you how to preserve marital relations, peace and comfort in the house, the calm energy of the home. Observe folk omens at home, and you will be successful in the workplace.
Who among us is not superstitious, may I ask? They say that we are basically a peasant nation, and we still live in an animated world that speaks to us and even sends messages - in the language of signs. As a former folklorist, I have collected many of these signs. There are those that you won’t take seriously - black cats don’t affect me, apparently, I love them so much.
But I take those signs that are associated with dishes seriously. No self-hypnosis - a simple life experience! That's why in my kitchen you will never find cracked plates, scratched cups and teapots with broken spouts. Do you want to know why? Will explain.
They say that if something breaks in the kitchen, it's good luck. But I noticed that if someone broke a plate or a mug, then troubles begin in the family. I decided to delve into the history of this sign and quickly discovered that - yes, in fact, the dishes are beating for trouble. But in order to appease the spirits, our ancestors hurried to shout: “Fortunately!”. Say, maybe it will carry. So, either don't beat the dishes, or yell at once, that there is urine: "Fortunately, this is fortunately!". And if you broke someone else's dishes, then you were jinxed.
- You can’t keep damaged dishes at home, utensils with cracks - this is at a loss, to the loss of money and well-being. That's how they think from time immemorial. Do not scare away your luck, do not spare money for a new teapot!
- Do not break anything glass in the house, otherwise honesty and harmony will leave it.
- However, earlier, when the newlyweds left the bedroom after the wedding night, the mother-in-law broke a glass in front of them. It is a sign that the young lost her innocence at the right time. But find now the newlyweds who lost their virginity after the wedding ...
- If something from the dishes broke at a birthday party, it will be possible to throw away the pieces only after the last guest leaves.
The magic of forks, spoons, knives
If you dropped your fork or spoon, it means that a woman will come to your house soon. Moreover, if a fork, then a thin woman - in the sense, harmful, bringing evil. If you dropped a knife - wait for the man to visit. If you don’t need anyone visiting, knock on the window three times with a dropped fork or spoon - the guests will be canceled.
When setting the table, put the salt shaker first to avoid quarrels. Then put down your forks and spoons. If a woman first puts down plates of food, and then, as a reminder, hurriedly runs after the appliances, then she is a bad wife and mistress. If suddenly there is an extra fork or spoon on the table, expect guests soon. Little home magic - put a knife under the tablecloth during large and responsible feasts. Then all the guests will praise your cooking and your welcoming home.
You can’t stick a knife into bread and leave it like that - this is a sign of disrespect for food, and fate will repay you with poverty. And in many French villages, they believe that bread can only be broken, and the one who cuts it defiles the food and spoils the baker. Never leave a knife on the table overnight - this is a sign of quarrels and strife in the family, unfortunately. Do not keep dull knives in the house - and you yourself will become stupid. With this, scare your husband if he is completely lazy and does not want to sharpen knives.
About clean and dirty, empty and full
Never leave unwashed dishes on the table, in the sink, or anywhere else. You will terribly anger the brownie, and it is better not to quarrel with him - things will begin to disappear and break. And finally, dirt attracts poverty and strife into the house. But try to wash all the utensils in the evening, you can’t wash the dishes at night if you don’t want quarrels and problems with money.
An empty bottle must not only be immediately removed from the table, according to an old Russian sign, but it is better to take it out of the house as soon as possible. And then there will be trouble with money.
If you took a plate from someone, then give it back filled with something - sugar, cereals, buns. This is so that your family will never know the lack of food, and the one who gave the dishes will never refuse to help later. But, in general, try not to borrow dishes and give someone else's as soon as possible. They believed in the old days - someone else's cup for male infidelity.
Use utensils only for their intended purpose. No need to store nuts in glasses, buttons in cups, and so on. This is almost blasphemy, a violation of ancient traditions and a sure way to anger the ancestors.
Signs and manners
And I also have a wonderful excuse when someone expects that I will wash the dishes at a party. I refuse under the most plausible pretext: to wash dishes in a strange house - to bring poverty and misfortune to this house. So, I can eat, that’s welcome, but to clean up after myself is not, thank you. I love you too much, dear hosts. Happiness to you!
- Never eat from the same plate, especially with another woman! Otherwise, you will have to share one man.
- If you give someone a set for a housewarming party, then this is a very good sign: the family will be prosperous and prosperous. Try to keep the service from a large number items.
- And there are some very funny things. For example, if a girl licks a plate, she will marry a bald man. But if a child licked the plate, expect good news.
- Got a bay leaf in a plate? Wait for letters!
- Do not leave a teaspoon in a cup when you drink tea - you won’t believe it, but according to an old saying, this is not only a vulgar habit, but also a way to get drunk on “tea with devils” - they, like a bridge, will go down to you in a mug on this very spoon .
Conclusion
- It seems that most of all in our life it will be connected with dishes. And this is clearly no coincidence. Food for our ancestors was a sacred ritual, and it is better to take it seriously - and now.
- It is not necessary to panic because of every broken mug and prepare for the invasion of troubles. Many signs, especially those related to cleanliness and order in the house, contain a lot of common sense. If only superstition can make you wash dishes at night, be superstitious. Your cockroaches will be very upset.
- Signs organize not only home life, but also the rules of hospitality. Study them so as not to inadvertently frighten the superstitious owners for whom you rush to wash the dishes.
Personal hygiene items
Even in case of emergency, you should not lend your towel, handkerchief, soap, washcloth, comb, cosmetics to strangers. These things accumulate a lot of germs, and if we lend them to someone, then the germs enter our body. It’s not worth talking about energy here and in general: since all these objects have an “intimate” purpose, they carry a very strong one. And if someone else used the thing, we may not feel very good. And the consequences in some cases can be quite serious. It is also possible that the borrowed thing will become the subject of witchcraft.Clothing and footwear
Who among us has not asked a girlfriend for some thing to “wear”? In fact, this is not so much unhygienic (after all, a dress or a blouse can be washed), but not harmless from the point of view of the same energy.Parapsychologists say that by giving other people items of clothing and shoes that we used previously, we give away a piece of our luck. And if before that everything was fine with us, then a less fortunate friend’s life can suddenly improve, but for us, on the contrary, it can deteriorate.
It is recommended to give things away only if you have not worn them for a long time. And it is better to donate or sell such a thing, and not give it away for a while. In this case, the energy connection with the former owner is broken. Just remember to wash and clean the item thoroughly before handing it over to the wrong hands.
Decorations
Women and girls often borrow jewelry from their girlfriends to go on a date or a party. But, when borrowing a ring, earrings or necklace, you should remember that the jewelry is worn by the one who wore it before. Stones and metals easily absorb the aura of their former owners. And some of them are hard to endure the "transition" to the new owner. Therefore, do not be surprised if your head hurts in other people's earrings. You should not borrow jewelry from someone who is ill with something, who is pursued by failures or a person with a difficult character. You can "get infected" with his problems. You should be especially careful with family jewels, the history of which you do not know anything about. Some of them are able to bring on a new mistress, even temporary, all sorts of misfortunes, troubles in finances and personal life. There are times when everything was fine in a woman’s life, but as soon as she had a piece of jewelry that used to belong to someone else, everything went awry.You should also not let your jewelry “wear” it, especially after you yourself have worn it for a long time. If you absolutely need to give the jewelry to someone, rinse it thoroughly with cold running water or carry out another cleaning procedure. The same if the decoration was lent to you.
Products
Trips to the neighbors "for salt" have already become the talk of the town. Salt ran out, so why not look at a neighbor?Meanwhile, experts on argue that crystalline substances, such as salt and sugar, are able to absorb information about those who held them in their hands. As well as the energy of the previous owners. Therefore, if desired, you can use borrowed sugar and salt in witchcraft rituals.
Now these products are not in short supply. Therefore, the visit of a neighbor for salt or granulated sugar looks at least suspicious. If it is already impossible to refuse under any pretext, try at least not to transfer the container with bulk substance from hand to hand, put it on a cabinet or chest of drawers. And it is also customary to take at least a nominal fee for this, then failures will not haunt you.
It happens that a neighbor asks for bread - they say, the house is over, but there is no time to go to the store or the shops have already closed. They say that in no case should you give away the last piece or crust - this will lead to poverty. It is undesirable to share bread after sunset - failure awaits you. It is still impossible to pass any products through the threshold, otherwise you will “give away” happiness from home.
Crockery and other kitchen utensils
Also in Soviet years it was customary to lend plates, bowls, cups, glasses, spoons, forks and knives to neighbors, for example, for a wedding or anniversary, when many guests were expected. Nowadays, such events are usually celebrated in cafes and restaurants. At home, extensive feasts are extremely rare.But, if you were asked for something from kitchen utensils, then it is undesirable to borrow it. Firstly, where is the guarantee that a sick or contagious person will not use a plate or fork? And even Dishwasher not always able to wash off the infection. Secondly, objects absorb the energy of those who used them. And we are talking about the dishes from which they eat. Thirdly, through utensils, if desired, it is very easy to damage. As a result, quarrels, health problems and other "charms" await you. By the way, it’s better not to use someone else’s dishes yourself. If there is not enough for everyone, now there are always disposable cutlery on sale.
cleaning tools
Many signs and beliefs were associated with brooms and other utensils intended for cleaning in the old days. So, a broom was used to rid the home of negative energies, for various purposes. It was impossible to sweep the garbage out of the house, it was necessary to put the broom only with the handle down, otherwise there would be no money, etc. It was believed that you can not trust strangers to clean the house - they can sweep good luck out of the house.It is dangerous to lend someone a broom or mop. If you can’t refuse, then it’s better to give this thing away for good, then buy a new one. Otherwise, finances will “leave” the house.
It would seem that in the 21st century, during the period of rapid development of science and technology, there is no place for superstitions and prejudices. In practice, things are completely different. You can often observe how, for example, having treated the neighbors with a plate of freshly baked buns, we get back the same plate filled with a “reciprocal” portion of the treat. And vice versa, when we are treated, we strive to give someone else's dishes filled with something tasty.
Not knowing all the signs and superstitions, we instinctively follow them, because we see similar behavior in our mother, grandmother and other people around us. Why is it important to return someone else's dishes full? And why can't you give away empty dishes?
It is believed that from the moment the dishes appear in the house, it must be filled in order not to “get used” to emptiness and thus not attract emptiness into the life of its owner. Empty crockery has supposedly already exhausted all its functionality, and therefore demons and other evil spirits can move into it. Explaining this superstition, people refer to the phrase "a holy place is never empty." Yes, and Domovoi may not like empty dishes in the house. Most likely, the origin of these beliefs is connected with the symbolic meaning of emptiness. Empty dishes become a symbol of an empty and barren life. And who wants his life or the life of the people around him to become hopeless? Therefore, the dishes should not be given empty.
Empty dishes - to loss, full - to well-being
There is a belief among the people that says: “You can’t return empty dishes, you definitely need to put something in - it will turn out good for yourself.” This sign applies not only to dishes, but also to any things in which something can be stored. It is supposed to put a coin in a wallet, a couple of things in a suitcase, and some of the delicious that was cooked in a frying pan. Then the house of the giver will not be empty, and the table will always be full of treats. It is believed that everything that we give away with dishes will return to us in double size. And vice versa, by giving away empty dishes, we attract even more emptiness and poverty into the house.
Tableware and energy
People who are versed in human energy issues also recommend giving the dishes full. Then the energy in the house will be positive. And washing someone else's dishes before giving them away will help wash away all the evil eye that a stranger could consciously or not convey. To give someone else's dishes empty or, even worse, dirty, means to attract own life negative energy, which can lead to health problems and disappointments.
Empty dishes and poverty
Giving away empty dishes or keeping them empty at home - to financial hardship. People who believe in omens believe that even being near empty dishes is dangerous, because an empty object can “suck out” the energy of a person who is unlucky enough to be nearby. And, of course, you can’t pick up empty dishes for those whose energy is weakened by illness or bad mood.
Empty dishes as a gift
According to superstition, empty dishes should not even be given as a gift. The exception is the newlyweds, who like to present a tea set for the wedding. If you decide to present someone with a cup or plate, you should put something inside. No matter what. Otherwise, the donated dishes can bring various financial difficulties to the new owner.
Dishes and psychology
If we consider the everyday side of this superstition, we can see that in fact it is designed to improve relations between people. Taking someone else's dishes and returning them with a gift, a person shows gratitude. It always causes pleasant feelings and desire for further communication. Friendship is the foundation of any relationship.
What do we do with old clothes when we don't need them anymore? Surely we throw it away or give it to other people: relatives, friends or those in need. We do the same with shoes and other things. We believe that by giving things to others, we are doing a good deed. But doesn't that pose a problem for us?
