Today, according to the calendar of folk holidays, Semyon's Day is celebrated, or, as they said in ancient times, Semyon Ranolashets.
In addition to the list of chores that were recommended to be done on this day, there were also prohibitions. Disobeying them was the same as bringing on trouble and other misfortunes.
We will tell you what you should not do on this day so as not to please ill-wishers.
List of prohibitions for May 10
1. It is better to avoid things that involve using sharp objects (knives, needles) and anything that can hurt you. If this happens, the enemies will immediately remind you of themselves.
2. You shouldn’t give sharp objects as gifts on this day.
3. You should try to avoid quarrels with your family and loved ones, otherwise the conflict will drag on for a long time. Therefore, it is better to postpone the showdown until a convenient opportunity.
4. It is forbidden to water flowers and other plants today, which leads to separation. But lonely people should plant several plants, which can soon organize a fateful meeting.
5. To prevent evil spirits from entering your home, you must not let uninvited guests or other people’s animals into your home today, or leave your home empty.
6. If you watch someone fight today, even if it is a cat and a dog, you yourself may end up getting hit.
7. You shouldn’t cook dumplings with cabbage or mushrooms today – this will lead to money problems.
8. Buying new or repairing old shoes today also makes no sense - they will not last long and will “lead” to trouble.
Good omens
Today you need to go outside at sunrise and warm yourself in the first rays of the sun - according to legend, its rays are healing and help the sick.
To make a good dream or wish come true, you need to spend the whole day in a good mood.
And in order for a bad dream not to come true, you need to tell it to running water - a stream, a river, or at least water from a tap.
