Why you can't give books as gifts: what folk signs and superstitions say

27.11.2023 01:20

Some people think that a gift in the form of a book is universal. Of course, a book can please many people, but is it really that simple?

If we recall folk signs and superstitions, then such a gift definitely cannot be called successful for objective reasons.

A tool of knowledge and energy

In folk traditions, books are often perceived not only as sources of knowledge, but also as carriers of energy. By giving a book, a person provides access to his thoughts and ideas, which can negatively affect his life and luck.

Symbolism

Books have different symbolic meanings in different cultures. For example, in superstitions, books are associated with secrets, and if you give them to someone, you can reveal your own secrets.

There is also a rational component, because when a person chooses a book, he tries to choose one that evokes positive emotions in him.

Hidden Messages

Some people believe that a gift in the form of a book can contain hidden messages or omens. Of course, a book does not always contain a hidden message.

But how will another person react to it? If you want to make such a gift, then you should always approach the choice of the plot responsibly.

It makes sense to give such a gift only to close people whom you can truly trust.

Why you can't transfer your own books

There is an opinion that a book can be filled with energy from its owner. By passing it on, you can lose part of your own energy, which will negatively affect your luck and even well-being.

Things to remember

Of course, mixed emotions always arise regarding such a gift, but in some situations it is enough to be rational.

A book can be a universal gift, but only if it is chosen from the heart, taking into account the preferences of the other person.
