Folk omens tell about things that should not be done after sunset, so as not to scare away good luck.
There are many superstitions that suggest how to act so that luck follows a person literally on his heels. For example, beliefs about a coin in a shoe, laurel leaves above the door of the house, warnings about a black cat.
There are separate signs that concern the dark time of day. When the sun has set, beliefs name 5 things that cannot be done at this time.
Dirty dishes in the sink
The belief is that this can make the brownie very angry. Because of this, the invisible inhabitant of the house begins to do mischief: hides things, teases pets, wakes up the owners at night.
Cut hair
The Slavs believed that a person's hair contained great power, responsible for health and vital energy. Therefore, the sign warns that this way you can lose part of your health, bring bad luck and face troubles.
Lending money
The sign does not advise borrowing money after sunset, even from relatives. The belief says that the creditor in this case may not wait for the return of the debt.
Argue with loved ones
From an esoteric point of view, conflicts that occur in the evening can drag on. Reconciliation in such a case may not happen soon.
Doing household chores
Signs explain that household chores after sunset, especially cleaning, ironing or washing, can cause material problems for the owners. For example, sweeping the floor in the evening, a person "sweeps well-being out the door."
