A broom is no less a sacred object than a mirror or a comb.
There are many signs and beliefs associated with this simple everyday thing. In the 21st century, brooms have almost completely given way to vacuum cleaners.
But in some cases it is easier to use a broom than to start the equipment, so this thing can still be found in many people's homes.
Where you can't store a broom in the house
According to signs, a broom should not be placed behind a door. For example, an entrance door or a regular room. Even behind a barn door, superstitious people never place a broom.
According to the sign, this object blocks positive energy. As they used to say in the old days, a broom "sweeps out" everything positive if it stands behind the door.
However, according to another sign, if an unwanted guest is expected to visit, then the broom should be placed behind the door. And after the person leaves, you need to sweep the hallway or the place where he was.
Another prohibition concerns the bathroom and toilet. According to signs, keeping a broom in these places brings health problems to the residents of the house.
It is also forbidden to leave a broom in the living room. This promises frequent quarrels that will happen over trifles, but will develop into serious conflicts. Any mutual understanding between close relatives will disappear.
Where to store a broom in the house
The broom should always be clean and neat - no protruding or broken rods or branches, dangling ropes or stuck trash. The ideal place for a broom is one that is hidden from the eyes of strangers, the signs say.
