What not to do when you are going on the road. Why is it considered bad luck to sew your clothes on yourself?

What rituals are there for travelers? Today, as in the old days, travel and long-distance travel are fraught with a number of dangers. To avoid them and make your journey easy, successful and safe, you can use the well-known rituals and conspiracies of magic for travelers.

Signs before a long journey

The practice of “sit on the path” has not lost its relevance and importance, so as not to encounter obstacles along the way. They sit down literally for a minute or two, sit silently, and then get up and always say: "With God!"

Just before leaving the house, you need to hold on to the edge of the table. The table symbolizes the native shelter, and thus the connection with it is maintained. Sometimes they also kissed the edge of the table, asking for blessings from their home on the way.

To make the journey successful, they used to take dry wormwood on the road, which, it was believed, protects from evil spirits. Modern magicians add that other plants can be used as the same amulet: dill, oregano, violet, thyme, cumin, mint.

Before a long journey, it is not recommended to wash your hair so that trouble does not happen. A great force has been concentrated in the hair, which is very necessary on a journey, and soapy water washes away this force, and individual hairs remain in the bath or on the comb, and with them a share of vitality. It is better to wash your hair a couple of days before departure.

When setting off and traveling, one should not step over the threshold with the left foot, so as not to be under the influence of evil forces. Returning halfway is also very bad. If you still need to do this, be sure to look at yourself in the mirror and show your tongue to your own reflection - in this way you will scare away the evil spirits that made you return.

On the day of departure, none of the relatives of the traveler should wash the floor and sweep - there is a great danger of covering the road for the departing person and making it extremely dangerous.

And on the day of departure, you don’t need to sew anything up - there will be no luck. By the way, this sign belongs to the category of often come true.

Don't let your keys fall before you leave the house. This will lead to failure. If suddenly, just before leaving, someone from the family brings a thing you have forgotten, there will also be no luck on the road.

On the road, try to bypass all the sticks and other objects that are lying around and in no case step over them - otherwise there is a risk of encountering various obstacles. And on the way it is better not to pick up anything, especially coins or sharp objects.

If on the way you meet a friend who asks where you are going, the most correct answer is: "On the Kudykin mountain." Previously, such an answer was not considered rude, but was a special magical excuse. The fact is that, having learned your plans, a person can jinx you, even unwittingly. Nowadays, you can replace " kudykiny mountains» more relevant and neutral wording — "on business".

Advice to the mourners - if you want the person to return faster, then, when leaving the station, be sure to turn around and look after the person leaving.

Signs on the road

There are many road signs that can be useful to travelers - they will make them cautious and attentive on the way. Such signs are signs that fate sends, warning of danger and problems along the way.

  • For example, to see an earthworm crawling across the street on the way - good sign. He promises success in the proposed business and good news.

  • To meet someone immediately on the threshold or porch is a bad omen and prophesies an unsuccessful road.

  3. And you can turn to your guardian angel: “My angel, come with me, go ahead, show the servant of God (name) the way and remove all enemies from the road.”

If you see that there are some obstacles and obstacles along the way, sudden delays, then you should stop and think carefully about whether you need to go to the intended place, whether you forgot to take anything with you, whether you thought out the way well.

AT modern society to this day, people believe in omens, but there are few superstitions that almost always come true ...

In ancient times, people believed that clothing was strongly associated with its owner. There is in the world a large number of will accept and superstitions associated ...

Greetings, friends! Today we will touch on the topic of signs and superstitions. Almost every one of us heard from representatives of the older generation: it’s impossible, it’s also a bad omen, and you can’t even sew up things in front of the road. Have you ever wondered where these superstitions came from? Why can't you sew your own clothes?

“Do not sew on yourself - you will sew up the memory”

This is exactly what this sign sounds like. full version. Why memory? And anyway, where does the memory? Oddly enough, this expression has its own logic.

It just so happened that sewing and needlework in Russia has always been an exclusively female occupation. And no one considered girls and women as a highly intelligent and remembering object - hence the “girl's memory”. Husbands often attributed deep forgetfulness to their daughters and wives, especially if they, carried away by needlework, forgot about the cake put in the oven.

What is the danger of sewing on yourself

It is unlikely that sewing on oneself became a bad omen due to the banter of husbands over their wives. Most likely, this led to a high probability of getting an infection. Have you seen what the needles of past centuries looked like? After all, the technologies of that time did not allow making high-quality tools. The product had a large number of burrs, bumps into which dirt accumulated, even rust was present. Such an environment is very favorable to bacteria. And getting pricked while sewing is a simple matter, especially if you sew on yourself, in a hurry. And what were antibiotics in those days? The risk of contracting tetanus, sepsis and other diseases was very high, and the possibility of recovery was low.

Nowadays, there is no longer such a danger, but I would not want to inject myself again, because it is not so convenient to sew clothes on oneself, and the risk of injecting increases.

Needle as a magical tool

It is believed that the needle is a dangerous magical tool used in witchcraft rituals. By sewing clothes on yourself, you yourself turn magical power against yourself.

Until now, many people know that an ownerless needle found in a house can mean damage.

How to get around the consequences of signs

I hasten to please those who believe that it is impossible to sew on oneself in any case: this sign has a simple “antidote”. If you do not want the negative sign to come true, you should sew it up carefully with a small piece of thread in your teeth. It is believed that this simple manipulation can remove all Negative consequences this omen.

Causes of signs and superstitions

There is, and always has been, a healthy desire of people to protect themselves and their loved ones from unnecessary trouble. AT old times people used only their personal observations for such protection. At that time, they could only observe such objects as the weather, life, and the behavior of animals. Based on them, subjective conclusions were made, thanks to which all kinds of signs and rituals appeared, which were supposed to protect a person from all sorts of troubles and diseases.

Now you know the origin of the sign about sewing on yourself. And do not forget that the origin of signs and superstitions is based on the experience of the past generation, and often these are just coincidences. So you don't have to take it all. folk omens as a practical guide. In general, there is some truth in all the signs, because in a hurry, sewing “on the road”, when you run out of the house, you will worry whether you sewed it neatly in a hurry. Attention is scattered, which is especially dangerous if, for example, you are driving or moving to work. Hence the conclusion - sewn in a hurry will not lead to luck.

Before a long journey, you can protect yourself from unforeseen incidents, accidents and other troubles that can happen on the way. To do this, you need to use conspiracies that should be read before the road.

Going on a trip related to work, take a thread, tie a knot on it with following words: “As this knot is tied, so everything will be connected with me, the servant of God, (name). Amen". After that, put the thread with the knot over the threshold and go on a business trip with peace of mind.

Relatives of the departed can also make efforts to ensure that the path is easy and successful. To do this, they must read the following plot every evening: “A dove flies out of its native nest, the wind sends it on its way. May the clear Sun help him, so that the path will be illuminated with a red thread. May it be so. Amen".

Once in a foreign land, it is necessary to read the following conspiracy: “Lord, hear your servant (name), deliver me from all failures and misfortunes, for I am not in my native house, but in a strange side. Amen". This prayer must be read with your face turned to the east.

There are also many road signs. One of them says that after leaving the house, you can not return for a forgotten thing. This is a very bad omen. Having crossed the threshold, you lose the energy of your place of residence, and having crossed it twice, you completely lose it, so troubles can happen on the road. If you still returned, then: the energy will double and you will have nothing to fear along the way.

In the old days, there was such a custom: a person leaving before a long journey sat in front of the house, thereby he wanted to deceive evil spirits. To this day, some people use this sign, believing that the dark forces will be left behind.

Never cross an intersection diagonally. It is in these places that the negative energy. If you are traveling together, then do not bypass obstacles that accidentally appear on the road (a fallen pole, a fence, a branch, etc.) on both sides. This may lead to a quarrel.

You can’t sew or sew anything up before the road. Our ancestors claimed that you can sew up good luck. This sign comes true most often, only in a slightly different way: before the road, as a rule, everything is done in turmoil, and therefore there is a great chance to prick yourself with a needle or cut yourself with scissors. And from this, respectively, unnecessary nerves and troubles that take a lot of energy, thereby jeopardizing luck along the way.

Previously, those who went on a long journey kissed the table or held on to its edge. This meant that the traveler honors his native home and receives his blessings for a successful journey and return. Some people are helped along the way by their guardian angel, with whom they have established a connection in advance.

What other road signs do you know? Tell us about what is accepted in your family, your country and your culture, and we will definitely include your signs in the next article.

There are many signs and advice related to the road. It is not without reason that people have been collecting all sorts of signs for centuries to make life easier for us. It is better to listen to the advice of experienced people than to reproach yourself for stubbornness later. To go on the road on Friday - there will be no way. It turns out that this was considered because Friday was women's day, women did nothing on that day. Departure on this day was considered to create unnecessary trouble for them (look how ancient men took care of their wives!), to cause their displeasure. Therefore, the departure was unsuccessful. So, if your wife is unhappy with your departure on Friday, it is better to postpone it to Saturday. Everything will be calmer. But a woman can leave on Friday.

To stand on the day of departure on the left foot - there will be no way. Why? because left-hand side body releases energy. You got up on your left foot and gave away energy that would be useful on the way. It is not supposed to wash your hair before a long journey. It was believed that washing hair weakened the connection with Higher Powers whose help is always needed on the road. In front of the road, everyone: seeing off and departing, should sit down. This custom is needed in order to remember whether everything is taken, to gather one's thoughts: have you forgotten something? You can not ask the departing question: "Where?" This simple question can cross out luck at the end of the road. To smooth out problems along the way, you must answer: “I’ll throw a mountain for somewhere.”

If someone is caught on the threshold - not good. Yes, because you are in contact with another aura, which can hurt along the way. The meeting can be neutralized by saying: “I took mine with me, I gave mine.” So you restore road energy. Before going out, you can’t think about home, about home. If you devote all your thoughts to those who stay at home, then you will pay much less attention and energy to the road, which can be badly reflected in the future. If you go back, there will be no way. To ease the failure, you need to look at yourself in the mirror and show yourself the tongue. And you can also look under the rug by the door, as if you forgot something there.

If a black cat crosses the road, expect trouble. Yes, because it attracts your energy and your luck. To avoid trouble, you can choose a different path, turn to the side, for example. If there is no detour, spit over your left shoulder and cross the road that the cat ran down three times so that its energy does not damage yours. Meeting a monk or clergyman was considered a sign of misfortune. If he gets caught, show the fig in your pocket to neutralize him negative impact. Since people of this class are deprived of many joys in life, when meeting with those who are going on the road, they can envy, even jinx because of inner envy of those who can afford a lot. As blasphemous as it sounds...

With a cookie in your pocket you will close your energy channels and protect yourself. To meet a person with empty buckets on the road (go with a bucket) is a bad sign, empty chores. An empty bucket robs a person of energy. (Just look at how many opportunities to take away our energy! And how we need to be able to save it and restore it!) It’s bad if you find something sharp, piercing or cutting along the way. This is a bad omen. Finding a split pin is in trouble, and a buttoned one is good. Just an unbuttoned pin can prick, hurt, and a buttoned one always protects a person from the evil eye, brings good, protects from evil. Never pick up sharp objects, don't even bend over them, keep going. If you stumble when returning home, a quarrel with your family is possible. If a person stumbles, evil spirits grab him by the legs. The person becomes irritable, which easily leads to a quarrel.

Good luck on the road

For good luck on the road, it is important to hold on to the corner of the table. Bioenergy flows from the corner, and an additional charge of vivacity before the road will not be superfluous.

If suddenly it started to rain before leaving - to a good path. Because rain is associated with a harvest, an increase in wealth, with good.

For a successful journey, take a sprig of wormwood with you. Wormwood has the ability to protect a person from the evil eye and spoilage, its smell repels rats, mice, fleas and cockroaches, which is useful on the road - any rubbish can get caught.

To meet a person with a full bucket is good luck. The energy of a full bucket is transferred to the one who passes by.

To meet a funeral procession is a rare success. A dead but not yet buried person is a link between our world and the other. At the time of the meeting, you can make a wish (any), and it will be fulfilled. But in no case should you cross the path of the funeral procession - this can attract the death and illness of the deceased.

To see a shoe or a mitten on the road - to a meeting with a loved one or with a friend. Shoe, mitten - symbols of a loved one.

If you liked the place and want to return there, you need to throw a coin into a pond, river or sea. Your energy, partially absorbed by the coin, will call you back.
