In ancient times, people attached special importance to the process of tidying up the house and yard.

Almost any work around the house was accompanied by superstitions and small rituals. A separate place was reserved for the broom.

According to popular belief, this item could bring money and luck, but at the same time it could bring misfortune and poverty to the owners of the house.

Folk omens

1. It was believed that when moving to a new house, you should take the old broom with you, because the brownie moved with it. Ancestors believed that if you don't do this, the owners will have no luck in the new place.

2. Store the broom with the broom facing up. It was believed that this way positive energy does not leave the house: wealth increases and health improves.

3. You can't touch the broom after sunset. Ancestors believed that in this case a person "sweeps out well-being."

4. Luck will leave a person on the road if, after his departure, one of the family members decides to sweep the floor in the house.

5. Signs advise sweeping not towards the threshold, but towards the center of the home. It is believed that if you do otherwise, luck and harmony will soon leave the house.
