Signs of the Russian people, which bring good or evil, originate in antiquity. At that time, people did not have knowledge and information, they hoped and believed only in God and God's mercy.
40 years
Age 40 is a point of decline. The person becomes exhausted and becomes weaker energetically.
The number 40 is not favorable for a person:
- after giving birth, a woman must not enter church for 40 days - a time of purification;
- after baptism, Jesus wandered in the desert for 40 days to deliver from the devil's temptations;
- the soul of a deceased person remains on earth for 40 days, this time is dangerous for loved ones;
- The global flood lasted 40 days.
Celebrating the fortieth anniversary is a manifestation of disrespect for the world of the dead, which entails misfortune.
Black cat
Since the times of ancient Rus', people have developed a peculiar opinion about black cats. They were valued and cared for as family members, and they were afraid to drive them away. An animal that no one wanted was a sign of trouble. After all, the color black is associated with evil spirits. Black cat on the road - expect trouble.
Spit over your left shoulder 3 times or wait for the one who passes first - it is considered that there will be no trouble.
Friday the 13th
Since ancient times, there has been a belief that Friday the 13th is a bad day.
Jesus Christ was crucified on Friday. Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit on Friday the 13th. In folk legends, on this day witches flock to the Sabbath and evil spirits gather.
Not worth it on Friday the 13th:
- solve money and paper matters;
- clean the house;
- to go on a long journey;
- swear.
Spilled salt
The sign of salt appeared at a time when it was not available to everyone due to its high cost. Salt was carefully preserved and used sparingly. Spilled salt was considered a sign of quarrels and tears between loved ones. Salt should not be thrown into the trash; it was better to wash it off with water, because water is a negative cleaner.
In order to stop the effects of superstition with salt, just a pinch of the spilled product is enough to throw over your left shoulder and laugh.
Empty bucket
A woman with an empty bucket towards you means failure. An empty bucket will destroy a person’s positive energy, and troubles will follow throughout the day.
In the hope of protecting yourself, you should spit over your left shoulder three times and get out of the way.
Whistling in the house
The sound of whistling resembles the wind, and whistling in the house is to call on it. The wind will sweep away material well-being from the house. Also, the brownie does not like the whistle because it has a harsh sound. Because of resentment, the brownie will probably leave home and grab good luck and prosperity.
Threshold in the house
According to ancient belief, the threshold of a house marks the boundary between the world of the living and the world of the dead. To say hello or goodbye across the threshold, to sit on the threshold or pass across the threshold means to violate this boundary.
Before you take it over the threshold, you should cross your fingers and stand on it with one foot. This will release the negative energy of the thing being passed through the threshold.
Russians are the superstitious nation of the world. The Slavic deities of our consciousness get along with Christian saints, and the signs remain in our lives until the end. A person decides for himself to believe or not to believe in them.
