Our ancestors knew that in May you can't have a wedding or baptize children. Otherwise, you'll suffer all your life. Were they right?
You, too, have probably heard more than once the signs and beliefs associated with this month. Once upon a time, they had a real basis.
Since ancient times, May was considered a hungry month, because the supplies in the cellars were already running out by that time, and there was still a long time until the new harvest.
That's why any celebrations were then prohibited. How to set the table in such conditions?
Today the situation has changed dramatically, but old beliefs still exist.
To avoid bringing trouble, it is worth performing special rituals at the beginning of May.
Protect yourself from troubles
You need to take a wicker basket and put different foods inside. These can be fruits, vegetables, baked goods. It is good if there is something inside that was made by your own hands and contains your energy. Next, you should tie a scarlet ribbon to the basket handle. Place the May basket in the center of the table and say: "The year will be fruitful, it will not forget any of us." It is good if there are household members next to you, whom you will dedicate to the details and meaning of the ritual.
To make the marriage strong
In May, many people are afraid to celebrate a wedding, since there is a widespread belief that the marriage will be difficult and will eventually fall apart.
Therefore, as a rule, people are afraid to schedule a wedding ceremony in May. But if, for some reason, it is impossible to postpone the wedding date to another month, it is worth performing the following ritual so that the "maeta" does not attack the newlyweds later.
Take two five-ruble coins, try to hide one in the bride's hair, and put the other in the groom's shoe, asking him to walk with it for a while. All newlyweds can use this ritual to live happily in a marriage concluded in May.
Preserve youth
It is very useful for all women to perform rituals in May to preserve youth and beauty. St. George's Day, celebrated on May 6, is ideal for this.
The day before, prepare a small container with water and put any silver item inside. The next morning, you can use the water. Just wash your face with it and say: "I will wash away wrinkles, I will wash away imperfections, I will leave a smile, I will leave a blush", so that you will shine for the whole next year.
Improve your financial situation
Another important day is May 15. People call it "profit day". This is the ideal time to perform rituals to increase financial well-being.
Be sure to treat yourself to something beautiful and original. It could be a new wardrobe item or a stylish pen – it doesn’t matter. When buying something, whisper: “I spoil myself, I make myself happy, so that money comes to me, so that I get paid regularly. Amen.”
It is considered a good omen to see a three-colored cat in May. If this happens to you, be sure to treat the animal with something and mentally ask it for all the best.
According to another sign, there should be irises in the house in May – they help household members live in harmony with each other.
Let troubles pass you by! And not only in May.
