You can share these superstitions or laugh at them - in any case, you will find a very exciting read.
Cats as sacred animals
The ancient Egyptians worshiped cats, and in medieval Europe, black cats were associated with witchcraft. Nowadays, these charming creatures are not loved at all. fewer dogs, and moreover, they are the real stars of the Internet.There are a lot of everyday superstitions associated with cats. For example, in Russia, when moving to a new place, owners first let a cat into the house, and then come in themselves. It is believed that the brownie rides on a cat and brings peace and happiness to the new home.
One of the most popular decorations in Japan is the figurine of the Maneki-neko cat, which is also often called the “lucky cat” due to its raised front paw. Many businessmen use it as a talisman, so most often it can be seen in shop windows and restaurants. There are several theories about what a raised paw means, but the general consensus is that a cat uses its right paw to lure money and its left paw to lure people.
Rakes and brooms as a symbol of wealth
In November, Japan celebrates the Tori no Ichi festival, or Rooster Days. During the festivities, the Japanese, especially owners of small family businesses, buy decorative rakes “kumade”. Like Europeans who decorate Christmas trees, the Japanese decorate kumade with bright toys in the form of balls, fish, rice sheaves, gold coins, treasure chests, as well as figurines of Japanese folklore characters and masks of the gods of luck. These talismans are sold at fairs, which are held at every temple on Rooster Days. Returning from the festivities, the Japanese hang kumade in the house, usually just above eye level, so that the owners will have good luck in all matters throughout the year.The Russians have a superstition not about rakes, but about brooms and brooms. It is believed that in order to attract money, they must be held with their twigs up. But whistling in the house leads to financial losses.
Toilet as a talisman for good luck
In Japan, keeping the toilet clean is believed to bring good luck. Perhaps this idea came from Zen Buddhism and Feng Shui, where cleansing is one of the most significant rituals. Also, according to Feng Shui, the toilet is governed by the water element, which is associated with abundance and prosperity, which is why it is so important to keep the toilet clean. According to Junko Kawakami, editor of Houzz in Japan, the tradition of associating a clean toilet with good luck, as well as a reverent attitude towards all kinds of brushes and brushes, has existed in Japan for many years. Believe it or not, this superstition can be supported by very objective statistics.According to a study conducted by Lion (one of the largest manufacturers of household chemicals and hygiene products in Japan), 42% of people who answered that they always keep the toilet clean also said that they were lucky with money. But among those who do not clean the toilet every day, there are much fewer favorites of fortune, only 22%. In addition, according to the same survey, the average annual income of clean toilet lovers is 5.42 million yen, while the average annual income of "irresponsible slobs" is 4.54 million.
Mirrors are like windows to another world
In some countries, it is believed that a mirror is a kind of passage to heaven, hell or another other world. For example, Spanish user 100to14 says: “We are taught from childhood that we should not make wishes in front of the mirror, because it has a connection with the so-called other side of existence.”In Eastern cultures such as Singapore and Japan, older people believe that they should not put a mirror in the bedroom because it can confuse the soul as it returns to the body after sleep. Similar ideas are reflected in literature, for example, in the book “Alice Through the Looking Glass” by Lewis Carroll, where Alice enters a fairy-tale world by passing through a mirror.
In fact, before the invention of cameras and video cameras, only the mirror gave people an idea of what they looked like from the outside. Therefore, it is not surprising that many beliefs attribute mystical powers to mirrors. Sarah from the UK says that in her country there is a saying: "Fear the day you break the mirror." This superstition dates back to the times of Ancient Rome, when people believed that shards of a broken mirror could captivate the soul and bring seven years of misfortune.
Stick your tongue out to say thank you for a forgotten item.
Russians have similar ideas about mirrors, but they also have funnier customs. Russian users say: “In Russia, when you return home for a forgotten thing, you must look in the mirror and stick out your tongue. It's just a fun tradition."
Feng Shui as a way to attract positive emotions into your home
Feng Shui culture originated in China. This the whole system rules and traditions, designed to bring harmony and good luck not only to the home, but also to work.Many people around the world resort to the customs of Feng Shui and other spiritual practices to make their home even more comfortable and perfect. For example, describing one of her projects, Australian designer Tracie Ellis says: “Following the rules of feng shui, we installed a walnut table and cabinets in the kitchen (pictured) to bring natural energy into the space.”
Pineapples as harbingers of imminent profit
The practice of Feng Shui has many rules and beliefs related to attracting money. For example, in the Hok Kien dialect, which is widely spoken in southern China and Chinese-majority countries, the word for pineapple (ong lai) sounds the same as the phrase “quick luck.” In Singapore, where they also speak the Hok Kien dialect, there is a custom of rolling a pineapple into a new home in the hope that good luck will come with it.
Bread as a symbol of death
Of all the rooms in the house, the kitchen has perhaps acquired the largest number of rules, traditions, and of course, superstitions.In France, a loaf has two sides - “good” (convex) and “bad” (flat). Frenchwoman annie ROGER says that putting bread with the flat side up can lead to misfortune and even the death of someone close to you: “My grandmother used to say: “Put the bread with the good side up or evil will come into the house.” I don’t know if this is actually true, but just in case I always put it right.”
Broken dishes - good luck
In Russia it is believed that any broken dishes brings happiness. However, if you have a cracked cup, then you cannot drink from it, or even keep it at home, otherwise you will be in trouble. Therefore, any cracked dishes should be thrown away immediately. In addition, Russians believe that you should not brush crumbs off the table with your hand (you can use a napkin). If you do this, be prepared to lose money.
Open umbrellas indoors mean trouble
Every culture has certain taboos about the house - activities that should not be performed indoors and items that should not be brought into the house. The British are sure that you should not open an umbrella at home, otherwise misfortunes will “rain into your life.” This would seem to be completely normal action is seen as an insult to the weather gods - the sun and thunderstorms. It is assumed that the umbrella should protect people outside, where these very gods live, and not inside the house, where protection from bad weather is already available. Obviously, such disrespectful behavior could anger the gods, but there is a possibility that this action is simply associated with bad luck. After all, opening an umbrella in a cramped room is really dangerous - you could injure someone or break a valuable item.
Fateful flowers
Swedish user Internationella Mattkompaniet says that heather should not be brought into the house: “My grandmother once told me that if you bring heather into the house, someone close to you will soon die. Despite the warning, one day I nevertheless brought heather into the house, and a week later my uncle suddenly died of a heart attack. Since then, I prefer not to touch this mysterious plant at all.”However, her compatriot Matilda Alehke Gunnarsson disagrees: “Heather? I've never heard of this. But I will never, ever put my keys on the table. Their place is either on the wall or on the floor.” Sarah Norrman, Chief Editor Houzz in Sweden had also never heard of heather bringing bad luck, but she reminded us that traditions in different areas of Sweden can be very different from each other. “But the superstition with keys is quite widespread,” she says. “I myself never put them on the table.”
Greeting across the threshold - taboo
In Russia you cannot say hello or pass anything across the threshold. Elena Ambrosimova from Russia says: “No one remembers why, but everyone follows this custom unconditionally. By the way, a rather funny incident once happened in this regard: during a rendezvous between the American and Russian spaceship At the Mir station, a Russian cosmonaut refused to shake hands with his American colleague across the threshold precisely because of this ban.”
Favorite talismans
Some symbolic objects are so attractive from an aesthetic point of view that they are not only kept at home as talismans, but also used for interior decoration. The four-leaf clover is a symbol of good luck in Ireland, but its shape is widely used for decoration in a variety of countries, such as as a wallpaper print, as in this photo.
In Russia and other Western cultures, a horseshoe is a symbol of good luck and wealth. Moreover, it is important to hang the horseshoe correctly: with the ends up, in order to collect good luck in it.
In Great Britain, people believe that coins found on the floor are good luck. The British even have a song: “If you see a penny, pick it up and bring good luck for the day.”
IN Everyday life There are many ancient signs associated with home and farming. I wonder where they came from? So, it is customary to let a cat into a new home first. Our ancestors believed that the spirit that lives in the house - the brownie - is most strongly attached to the one who first crosses the threshold.
He may love or hate this member of the household. Cats, unlike most people, see and feel otherworldly entities, and know how to “negotiate” with them. However, parapsychologists believe that the brownie has absolutely nothing to do with it: it’s all about pathogenic zones, the energy of which is unfavorable for people, but suitable for cats. Where the purr lies down is a bad place and you can’t put a table or a bed!
Salt
Spilling salt is definitely a bad omen: it means a quarrel. The belief, however, was born from the life experiences of our ancestors. Once upon a time, salt was very expensive (in our opinion, it was in short supply). It is clear that in poor families, its scattering led to serious discord: you cannot eat without salt, but there is no extra money.
But here’s the paradox: having made a mistake with the salt shaker, you should immediately take three more pinches from there and throw them over your left shoulder! This served as an offering to the same brownie: after all, the “neighbor” kept order in the house, including ensuring that family members did not quarrel.
Dishes
Everyone knows that you should not keep cracked cups and plates at home. After all, each object has its own biofield, and if its physical integrity is broken, then a “crack” appears in the aura. Using such defective utensils can lead to troubles and illnesses.
Mirrors
Breaking a mirror is considered an even more terrible omen. Mirror surfaces are capable of reflecting the energies of the other world, and all sorts of evil spirits can enter our dimension through a crack. Cracked mirrors Under no circumstances should they be kept in the house - they must be thrown away immediately.
Cleaning
Many beliefs are associated with such an action as cleaning. For example, in the old days they believed that you should not sweep garbage beyond the threshold of your home: it could be damaged. The rubbish was carefully collected and burned in a furnace or buried in a secret place.
You can't take out the trash after sunset - there won't be any money. But this is a modern sign. And in the old days they believed that at dusk, forces of light would visit the house. Having seen the dirt, they may not appear again and, accordingly, may not show their affection to their owners.
So prosperity and well-being are as close as you can see!
The broom should be placed in a corner with the handle down: otherwise it will come into contact with debris belonging to the lower astral world, and during cleaning it will “scatter” the energy of the dark astral throughout the room. When moving to a new place, you should definitely take the broom with you: the brownie will “move” with it.
You should not sweep or wash the floors immediately after the departure of a person who is near and dear to you. Human footprints contain particles of aura, and if they persist, then sooner or later the “owner” will return for them. If you “wash away” the traces immediately, they will dissolve and nothing will remain.
But you can safely start cleaning as soon as an unwanted guest or a member of the household whom you want to get rid of has left your home. It is possible that in this case he will not want to come back here anymore.
Thresholds also played a special role in the lives of our ancestors. They symbolized the boundary separating the house and the world with completely different energies. To protect yourself from external dangers, you should not communicate with anyone through the threshold. This tradition
Even in modern world Ancient legends related to home and farming have been preserved. How were they formed?
Most often, a cat is brought into a new home in front of them. Our ancestors were convinced that the “owner” of the home - the brownie - was strongly attached to the one who crossed the threshold first.
The spirit will definitely love or hate this family member. People for the most part are not more sensitive than cats; they see and feel otherworldly entities, and know how to “negotiate” with them. Parapsychologists have their own opinion; they believe that it is not brownies that are to blame, but the presence of pathogenic zones in homes; their effect on people is unfavorable, but is suitable for cats. Where Murka likes to lie is a pathogenic zone and you can’t sleep, play or dine in this place!
Spilled salt - there would be a quarrel. The sign did not appear on empty space. Once upon a time, salt cost a lot of money. Because of this, in poor families, spilled salt caused a quarrel: food without salt is bland, and it is very expensive to buy.
There is some contradiction - having knocked over the salt shaker, you had to take three more pinches from it and throw it over your left shoulder! The salt thrown over is a gift to the spirit of the home: every housekeeper loves order in the house, and even watches over his household so that they do not quarrel.
A belief has come down to us and people often know about this: where we live (even at work) there is no place for cracked dishes. Each object has its own biofield, and if the integrity of any surface is damaged, then a “crack” appears in the aura. Using chipped dishes, there is a chance of losing your strength and leading to troubles and illnesses.
The most terrible omen To this day it is considered breaking or cracking a mirror. It has the ability to reflect energy other worlds, and through a damaged surface all kinds of evil spirits can penetrate into our real world. cracked or broken mirrors You should throw it away immediately, thereby ridding yourself of the influence of that evil spirit.
Countless signs are associated with home cleaning. Let's take an example: in ancient times, it was believed that it was inappropriate to sweep garbage beyond the threshold of the house. The garbage was diligently swept up and burned or buried in the ground.
Be careful not to take out the trash at dusk - the money will go away. This is more of a belief of our time. And in the old days, people were sure that in the twilight the forces of light came into the house. If there is litter in the house and they see it, they will most likely bypass the owners with their favor and will not appear in a dirty home.
The place for the broom is in the corner with the whisk up, otherwise it will touch the garbage associated with the lower out-of-body worlds, and during cleaning it will “spread” the energy of the dark throughout the entire home. When moving to a new home, you must take a broom with you: the brownie will also “move” with it.
It was forbidden to sweep or wash the floor immediately after the departure of one of the household or a guest who was especially loved and dear. Traces of a person contain particles of the soul, and as long as a part of the soul remains in the house, then the person who once left will return for it. If you “wash away” the traces immediately, the dear person may not return to the house.
Otherwise, be sure to start putting things in order as soon as the malicious guest steps across the threshold of the house you are happy to part with. Most likely he will not have the desire to visit you.
