By giving away their things to the poor, every person wants to bring at least a little joy and give minimal support to those who really need it.
However, if we recall folk signs and superstitions, there are things that should not be given to the poor, as this can have a negative impact on everyone.
Old shoes
Old shoes, especially if they have been worn and worn out, are considered, according to superstition, to be an unlucky gift.
It is believed that by giving away old shoes, you can lose some of your luck. It is better to throw away old and worn-out shoes immediately.
Damaged items
Damaged or broken objects, even if they can be fixed, can be associated with misfortune and difficulties. Giving away such things can be a way to share your problems.
Mirrors and paintings
In some cultures, it is believed that giving away mirrors or paintings with reflections means giving away your negative emotions and energies.
This can affect the well-being and emotional state of the person receiving such a gift.
Watch
The watch is associated with the symbolism of the time of departure and can attract negative events. Also, the watch can accumulate energy from its owner, which will negatively affect well-being and luck.
Old books
Each book is filled with the energy of its owner. There is an opinion that if you give away your own book, you can lose part of your meanings. Special attention should be shown to your favorite books.
Personal belongings
Giving away personal items such as jewelry or clothing is also considered risky. It is believed that such items can transfer the energies and feelings of the previous owner, influencing the new one.
