Scares away luck and wealth: what should not be left on the table according to folk signs
Ancestors treated things left on the table with special care and tried not to leave unnecessary things on it.
It is highly undesirable to leave pillows of any kind on tables.
It is believed that leaving a sofa cushion on the table can cause a long-term illness.
Leaving the pincushions can invite a series of gossip and quarrels.
It is not for nothing that sharp corners and objects are considered by Eastern peoples to be places where negative energy accumulates.
Hats are another item that should be removed from the table immediately.
It is believed that this object, left on the table, symbolizes an illness associated with the head or psyche.
A comb left on the table can attract gossip and quarrels, as well as diseases related to the head.
In some countries, it is believed that any comb left on the table shortens the owner's life. This is due to the belief that hair is a symbol of a person's life line.
A key or lock left on the table is considered to be a sign of financial failure.
Moreover, the pranks of the omen can be associated with the loss of a wallet or pickpocketing, as well as with dismissal from work for unexpected reasons, as well as a protracted search for it.
That's why ancestors always gave the key a special place in the house. Usually it was a hook by the front door.
Brooms should also not be left on the table. Both regular and talismanic ones.
There are certain brooms that are meant to bring happiness, prosperity and abundance into the home. It is best to give them a special place.
A number of experts advise to set aside a corner near mirrors. It is believed that this method can attract additional well-being and enhance the meaning of the amulet.
But the brooms left on the tables sweep away any manifestation of happiness and prosperity.
If household members do not want to attract quarrels and discord between the family, they should not leave open scissors on the table, as well as any items containing them.
This sign is connected, again, with the belief about negative energy on sharp corners.
It is believed that a correctly chosen tablecloth will become the basis for home comfort and well-being.
If there is a stain or a hole on the tablecloth, it is not suitable for the table.
By the way, it is best to choose a round table.
It is believed that the round shape symbolizes equality in the family circle. And a properly selected tablecloth will distribute the benefits equally.
Broken and chipped dishes should not be stored on the table. It is better to remove them away from the house altogether.
It is believed that dishes with defects attract evil spirits and bring additional discord into the family circle.
Sometimes it's a shame to part with a chipped element of a family tea set, for example.
But it should not be disguised even as a fake. After all, the negative energy will not decrease from this.
A clock on the dining table can play a cruel joke on its owners.
According to signs, such an attribute can both shorten the life of its owners and reduce the time a family has left to spend together.
That's why our ancestors always hung clocks on the walls in such a way that they were not reflected in mirrors and were not above tables.
Another rather controversial item is a wallet. Some believe that leaving a wallet on the table can ruin the family's financial well-being.
Others, on the contrary, speak of the omen as attracting wealth. To avoid making a mistake, it is better not to put the wallet on the table.
To attract good luck, just leave a coin under the tablecloth and don’t spend it.
With the help of these tips, you can properly set up your family table and avoid misunderstandings.
