Dishes are folk signs. Folk signs about dishes

After reading this article, you can find out which indoor plants bring misfortune to the house. Superstitions associated with them were formed over a long time under the influence of real incidents that happened to some people, and were passed on from generation to generation.

Despite the fact that most biologists treat such beliefs with sarcasm, whether you believe or not in their validity, you must decide for yourself, because even psychologists say that when choosing plants for your home, you should not be guided by superstitions, but trust your own feelings.

Don't forget that there are things that bring bad luck into your home for good reason - many of them are poisonous, and some cause severe allergic reactions.

Basic data

The main superstitions associated with indoor plants are based on their death. So, for example, if a plant dies, it is believed that it has warded off misfortune from the owner, and the opinion that stolen flowers take root better has destroyed many beautiful plants, from which cuttings were taken without the consent of the owners.

Signs about the existence of things that bring misfortune to the house were formed only in relation to the most popular house plants. As for species that have recently appeared in flower shops, such as orchids, they simply have not yet had time to earn a negative attitude towards themselves. At the same time, it is quite likely that in a few decades they will “grow” with their own signs.

Below are the most famous indoor plants that bring misfortune, the signs about which are often extremely contradictory.

Ivy

In the Middle Ages in Greece and Rome, ivy was not only a symbol of devotion, but also acted as one of the most common talismans for young girls. It was believed that it symbolizes not only the possibility of a successful marriage, but also allows the owner to maintain youth and attractiveness for a long time. To do this, it was enough just to wear a sprig of ivy on the chest.

As for the present time, in the East they believe that it increases the vital energy of the owner, prolonging his life. At the same time, in post-Soviet territories there is an opinion that ordinary ivy, widespread in the southern regions, attracts misfortune to the house. In addition, it is not recommended to place it in the home of newlyweds, as it can also cause quarrels, as a result of which men leave their families.

Ficus

Even in pre-war times, ficus was considered one of the most pronounced symbols of well-being. It was believed that he attracted wealth to the family. That is why even the poorest segments of the population sought to obtain this plant. However, after the war, attitudes towards him changed radically. The opinion began to actively spread among the people that in those families where the men survived and returned from the war, there were no ficus trees.

Since people called it the “widow plant”, within a fairly short time it gained a bad reputation and most of the luxurious specimens of these plants were mercilessly destroyed.

Monstera

Monstera is a fast-growing vine with carved leaves. In China, it is customary to give it to respected elderly people, as it is believed that it can influence the increase in the number of days allotted to a person to live. Because of this sign, it is considered a wonderful gift for almost any occasion. However, our people’s superstitions about keeping monsteras in the house are radically different from the Chinese. There is an opinion that this is one of the most dangerous vampire plants that absorb human energy, which is why people become lethargic and apathetic. In addition, it is not recommended to have it in families where there are people with heart disease or lung problems, since at night it can “strangle” a person.

But the monstera can be placed in a public place where a lot of negative energy accumulates, for example, in court. There she will not only delight you with her appearance, but will also consume excess negative energy.

Fern

The opinion about the “mystical” fern plant, whose flower has been sought since ancient times on the night of Ivan Kupala, is quite contradictory. So, in some parts it is believed that if you bring a fern into your house, you will bring misfortune with it, and as long as the plant is in it, various misfortunes will be attracted to you. However, in other places it is believed that the fern, on the contrary, protects the family from the evil that other people do and all evil spirits. It is believed that if a fern suddenly dries up, then it has taken upon itself damage directed against the owner of the home.

Violet

There is a common superstition that if kept in a house, the girl living in it will never be able to marry for love. In fact, this plant is considered a permanent reason why a girl may remain alone until old age. In addition, it is not recommended to keep violets in the house due to the fact that the female part of the family may develop various diseases of the reproductive system.

Cyperus

It is believed that this plant has such powerful energy that it easily suppresses the human biofield, having a powerful negative impact on the health of people who are in close proximity to it every day. People who have it at home often get seriously ill. Despite the fact that today there is no scientific evidence of this fact, if you still decide to have Cyperus in your home, be sure to listen to your health.

"Plants-husbands"

There are a large number of plants that should not be kept in the house from an emotional and psychological point of view. These indoor plants, which bring misfortune to the house, were given the name “husband plants” by people.

• Scindapsus is one of the most popular varieties of tropical vines. It is believed that she not only brings quarrels into the house and is the culprit of divorce, but also “drives out” all men from the family, including even sons and grandchildren.
• Cissus, like scindapsus, belongs to the category of plants that have a direct impact on men leaving families. In addition, cissus is considered a real magnet for attracting misfortunes into the family.
• Hibiscus - it is not recommended for unmarried women to have it, as their personal life begins to deteriorate, and their lover may sooner or later leave for another.
• Hoya - it is believed that this plant can not only “drive” a man out of the house, but also drive him away from the world.
• Tradescantia - in the house where this plant is located, the marriage may soon collapse.

Signs associated with flower coloring

As a rule, signs associated with flowers do not foretell anything terrible. Often, flowers that bring misfortune to the house are also divided according to color. For example:

• White flowers symbolize purity and innocence. That is why there is a belief that it is better to give newlyweds flowers of this color for their wedding.
• Red flowers symbolize passion and love.
• Yellow flowers portend an imminent separation.
• It is customary to give blue flowers to loved ones, as they symbolize sincerity and kindness.

Conclusion

Do not rush to throw away your favorite flowers just because someone told you that they bring bad luck to the house. Of course, whether to believe or not to believe in such statements is a personal matter for each person, but you should first of all trust your own feelings.

Even if you personally know people whose lives did not work out for some reason and in their house there were some of the plants listed in this article, this does not mean that the people suffered exactly from their negative influence. After all, most countries have their own folk signs associated with plants.

Indoor flowers should be selected for your home only taking into account your taste preferences, because first of all, they should please you with their appearance and lift your spirits.

Dishes are an integral element of kitchen utensils, present in every home without exception. For this reason, it is quite natural that a huge number of signs, customs and superstitions are associated with dishes. So, for example, a plate, mug or other utensils forgotten at a party turns out to leave its mark on the energy of the house and sometimes even on the health of the residents. What does someone else's dishes promise in the house?

Energy aspect

Every person’s apartment, home is always filled with the energies of the people who live in it. In addition, this energy is protective and protective, because it is not without reason that the saying “my home is my fortress” was coined. The presence of a stranger or someone else's kitchen utensils, including various utensils, in the kitchen brings into the home energy that is alien to the home, which, unfortunately, is not always positive.

According to another version of the sign, keeping someone else's dishes in the house is categorically not recommended due to the fact that a curse or damage can easily be applied to this item of household utensils and the more this item is in the house, the more trouble it can bring to the people living in it. It is especially not recommended for unmarried women to keep other people's dishes in the house, as this can negatively affect their personal life.

Properly giving away someone else's dishes

There are actually a huge number of reasons why someone else’s dishes might end up in the house. Perhaps gifts were brought in a plate or you borrowed a beautiful presentation from your friends at which you plan to serve the cake. At the same time, it is important to correctly return the dishes to their owners, since otherwise you can attract hunger into your home.

In order to avoid this, you need to follow one main rule: never return empty dishes that belong to him and are left in your house to the owner. You should definitely put something edible, some kind of treat, on the plate and return the dish to its owner in this form.

Believe it or not?

Whether to treat this sign as a banal joke or to take it seriously is up to each of us to decide. Those who do not accept other people’s dishes in the house, fearing that the prediction will come true, some do not do this for moral reasons, while others do not pay attention to anything and find a place in their kitchen for someone else’s plate or cup.

We all like to have breakfast, lunch and dinner at a beautifully set table. Tableware, tea and coffee sets make any feast elegant and enjoyable. The good mood of the dining companions, caused by the aesthetic decoration of the table, saturates the aura of the room with even positive energy, which has a beneficial effect on the health and mood of the household. But it often happens that some items from the service become unusable - they break, become covered with cracks, etc. Connoisseurs of household magic tell us: “A meal at a table covered with items from various sets leads to discord in the family. Children begin to be stubborn and act directly opposite to the wishes of their parents, spouses begin to become dissatisfied with each other, that is, what is called family discord occurs.”

Esotericists claim that food intake affects not only a person’s health, but also his activity. The type of dishes from which a person eats is of great importance, since the most delicious dish will not bring pleasure if it is not beautifully presented. And eating without positive emotions leads to the following:

A person begins to get irritated for no reason, is constantly out of sorts, that is, exudes fluids of negative emotions, which in turn not only hinder his endeavors, but also gradually destroy what the person has managed to achieve.

Many peoples of the world have signs associated with incomplete service:
“Drinking tea from different sets means forgetting about wealth in the house” (English sign).
“For someone who eats from a variety of dishes, things don’t go smoothly and life doesn’t go well” (Port Tugal sign).
“Take the plate out of the service - your daughter won’t marry you.

The cup from the service is broken - the son will have to be beaten” (German omen).
“A full set of dishes means a full bowl in the house, an incomplete set means ruin” (Hungarian sign).
“Putting items from different sets on the table means driving good luck and success out of the house” (Bulgarian sign).
“A beautiful set is a good companion of love, a scattered set is an evil homemaker” (Italian proverb).

So what to do if some item from the service is broken, and it’s a pity to throw out the remaining items, it’s impossible to give as a gift, and it’s problematic to sell?

To begin with, it should be noted: if a family consists of four people, and a plate broke at a set for six people, you should get rid of the remaining unnecessary items, leaving the number of dishes according to the number of household members. Having thus compiled a new complete set, you need to read a “cleansing” spell over it:
“In the sea-ocean, on the island of Buyan, lies the white-flammable Alatyr-stone. Under that stone two streams flow, not simple streams, but enchanted streams. One stream is dead water, the other stream is living water. I will take two jugs from the streams. One with dead water, the other with living water. I will sprinkle dead water on what is to be thrown away and demolished, and I will water with living water what I leave in the house. Let my cups not long for my sisters in separation, let my plates not long for my brothers, but serve me with faith and truth for many years, for many years. Amen, amen, amen."

This plot will be most effective if you read it while washing items left from the service. But if it happens that there are fewer items of some type left in the service than there are household members, it should be thrown away.

The last item from the service remaining with the owner is especially dangerous.
Esotericists say that such an object “yearns” for its broken relatives and is “indignant” at the careless people who deprived it of its usual “society”. They warn that the last item from the service can cruelly “take revenge on people” for its loneliness.

There are two ways to protect yourself from his revenge.

The first method: if the item is valuable, for example, it is handmade or made of expensive material, you need to do the following with it. At night, pour a small amount of silver water into it and add fresh rose petals (or dried lavender herb). Whisper three times: “Forgive me, goodbye, promise not to harm.” In the first half of the day (until noon), leave the house and give an object to the first old woman you meet, saying: “Take a plate (cup), grandma, let it make you happy. Eat (drink) from it, remember me (name) with a kind word.” The main condition of this ritual is that the old woman never visits your house.
There is no need to be afraid that a single object will harm an elderly woman. When changing “habitat”, dishes have the property of “losing memory”. Having appeared in an unfamiliar place, your item will “forget” everything that happened to it before and will become completely safe.

The second method: the last item from the service needs to be broken, the fragments carefully placed in a box and buried as far as possible from the house. Under no circumstances should the fragments be thrown into a trash can or garbage chute (the negative energy of a single object will affect a person from there).

Some people collect porcelain coffee or tea cups. As a rule, various single items are purchased for the collection. Displayed in a cupboard or on shelves, they do not pose a danger unless a person begins to use them for their intended purpose.
It should be remembered that a single item will bring loneliness to a person, so no matter how great the desire to drink tea from such a cup, it is better not to do this (this advice especially applies to single or childless women). Single cups should not be served to guests either. According to esotericists, such objects can destroy the strongest friendships and “turn” the guest against the owner.
