Folk wisdom treats food and the table with special trepidation and respect.
It was no coincidence that this happened. Food was obtained through long and hard work, and the table was the center of home comfort and a measure of well-being.
Signs about the dining table
1. You can't sit on the dining table. As the sign says, such disrespect can cause a big quarrel or big money problems.
2. Leaving the table dirty after a meal will anger the brownie. It is noteworthy that folk wisdom forbids wiping the tabletop with a paper napkin.
3. It is forbidden to put an empty bottle on the table. According to belief, this act can bring on poverty. And another sign warns pregnant women. So, if you put an empty bottle on the table, then premature birth or miscarriage can occur.
4. You can't hit eggs on the table, including Easter eggs. This can scare away luck.
5. Another sign prohibits placing keys, both from the house and from the car, on the dining table.
How to attract luck and wealth
A simple instruction has been preserved since ancient times, which supposedly helps to attract money and luck into the house. Ancestors put a coin under the tablecloth for this. But modern housewives prefer to use a banknote.
