If a magpie sits on the window of a house where there is a seriously ill person, this promises him a quick deliverance from the disease.

It is believed that if the patient falls asleep immediately after communion, he will recover quickly. The fact that everything will be fine is indicated by several sneezes in a row by the patient.

A seriously ill person constantly turns to the wall - an unkind omen, promising a quick death.

If you apply celandine to a sick person’s head and he cries, this portends a quick recovery.

Nettle that turns black after being placed in the urine of a patient means his imminent death. If the plant retains green color, the person will recover.

The fate of the patient is determined with the help of a dog. They take a small piece of pork, rub it against the sole of a person and give it to the animal. If a dog refuses meat, expect death; if it eats it, the patient will recover.

If you bring a willow twig to the patient’s head, you can find out what awaits him in the future. If, after about a quarter of an hour after contact with willow, the patient says that he feels well, this indicates that the disease will soon leave him.

An evenly burning candle, lit in a house where there is a sick person, promises that person a speedy recovery.

A woman with a bucket, or a woman with signs

To kick or not to kick a black cat crossing the road is an ethical dilemma. Arguing with a woman who rattles empty buckets on the stairs is an ethical dilemma. Calling your ex when your cheeks are burning is a willpower dilemma. To believe or not to believe in omens is not a dilemma at all for those who know where omens come from. It is much more difficult to choose an interpretation that inspires more confidence.

For example, the sign about a black cat has long had not only a folk meaning, but also a fashionable - esoteric one. According to astral travelers, black cats have strong energy; they are essentially witches, but they only cast spells silently.

Again, modern esotericism does not divide magic into black and white, so a black cat running headlong perpendicular to your trajectory is not causing trouble, but only predicting. Moreover, he is trying with all his cat strength to ease your fate.

Therefore, if a black cat happens to be on your way, thank the animal, because if you suddenly break your arm, the cat saved you from losing your head. In any case, it is better to think positively and not offend smaller brothers.

Another question is what to do with women whose buckets are empty? Where is their energy directed, if any?

First, let's remember when we were in last time in our technogenic world, in our 21st century, have you ever seen a woman with at least a full bucket? Most likely, meeting such a person already smacks of mysticism, because even trash is now usually taken out in garbage bags, and all the buckets have long been moved to the garden.

Perhaps the folk superstition about a woman with a bucket is just a reflection of our women’s quarrelsomeness, because empty buckets tend to rattle, squeak and hurt the ear, like the swearing of two neighbors.

In any case, if this sign still terrifies you, when you meet an outlandish “empty” woman, cross yourself and spit three times - no, not at the woman - over your left shoulder. And then be glad that the buckets were empty. There could easily have been oil in them: one woman named Annushka had already spilled the oil, and Berlioz was left without a head.

Wedding omens are much more precious to us women. If you have never sat on the corner of the table, and seven years of celibacy do not threaten you, then the “anti-wedding” sign has passed you by. But before you look for something new, old, alien and blue, save yourself from the effects of pre-wedding folk signs, because the meanings of these signs are no less frightening than the notorious corner. For example, a wet apron promises a drunkard husband. Do you still wear an apron? Take it off immediately! If you don’t want to marry a beggar and a bald man, don’t shake the bread crumbs off the table.

Bread generally ruins your figure. And in general, if you need a man, don’t grow violets and cacti on the windowsill, grow tomatoes - a man’s stomach, through which the path to the heart lies, gets along better with vegetables than with needles and terry leaves. And finally, the wedding!

Firstly, Wedding Dress due to its greatness, it has already encountered many signs. Even close relatives should not be allowed to try it on - definitely Bad sign: suddenly stretched? It must be long for it to be long family life, and if you trip over it, let the groom catch it (he’s the groom!).

And now the easiest wedding sign: the bride should cry a little before the wedding. We can do this!

And now let’s make our story clear: jokes aside, but for some reason our ancestors collected their folk signs from many coincidences, they sacredly believed in them, predicted the weather, harvest, troubles and good luck from them. The meaning of signs is the wisdom of generations who were distinguished by observation and a desire to know what is unknowable by science.

Signs are created in order to believe in them, otherwise they simply would not exist. Well, joke with fate, and manage your life with the help of the little tips given to us by our ancestors, which fill our magical life.

Signs and superstitions originate in ancient times. At that time, the basis for signs was many years of observation of the cause and effect of any, at first glance, unrelated events. And finding this cause-and-effect relationship immediately became a sign passed down from generation to generation.

People in those days simply had no other choice but to analyze and look for meaning in unrelated things, because, for example, they had no other opportunity to find out the weather the next day. Signs and beliefs exist among all peoples of the world, many of them are similar.

Slavic peoples have always been very superstitious; over the centuries, the Slavs borrowed signs from neighboring peoples, added their own, and looked for new meaning in existing ones. Folk signs, being an integral part of culture and folklore, nevertheless, exist only among the people, are passed on “from mouth to mouth”, and do not have any sources, because there is still not a single published edition of the complete collection of signs.

Over time, many signs have become superstitions, while others continue to contribute to our daily life their laws.

The variety of signs is impressive, from stupid and funny ones, which, despite all their absurdity, are also deeply ingrained in the minds of people, to practically undeniable ones and amazing in their accuracy.

Dividing folk signs, or trying to somehow qualify them, is a thankless task; we can only highlight the main directions in which they exist:

• - Weather and nature;
• - Money signs;
• - Health and well-being;
• - Life changes;
• - Money well-being;
• - Tragic events and accidents.

For many people, signs about health become an unwritten law. Naturally, health is not something to joke about, and no one wants to tempt fate and test on themselves and their loved ones whether certain beliefs related to health are true.

But even if you are a convinced atheist, knowledge about health will not harm you, maybe you will see something interesting in them.

Signs about health:

Do not show on your body the wounds that another person had, if you show it, it will happen to you;

Don't sew clothes on yourself, you'll sew up your mind and memory. If it is still necessary, hold a match, thread or something iron in your mouth;

A bad omen sits after a seriously ill person in the place where he was sitting, it is better to wait some time and cross this place;

Pin a safety pin on your clothes with the point down, this will save you from the evil eye and ailments.

Signs about money are perhaps the most common among the people; those who have a financial shortage try to follow them - to attract and increase finances, and those who have acquired their main capital, but do not want to lose it. Here not only logic and common sense come into force, but also signs of superstition and folk beliefs about money.

Signs about money:

Substantial part money will accept, among the Slavic peoples, is associated with the table; according to legend, it is he who can help both increase wealth and deprive existing savings. Money thrown on the table will certainly be lost because the table, as our ancestors assured, is a mediator between worlds and everything that falls on it will go there, this also applies to other objects, such as keys, documents or jewelry - they will be lost;

The symbols of emptiness left on the table also do not contribute to wealth, but rather act in the opposite direction: empty bottles, jars, glasses...

It is a bad omen to sweep crumbs off the table with your hand, especially onto the floor. The tablecloth with crumbs should be shaken out of the doorway or out the window;

To enrich yourself, it is advised to leave a few bills under the tablecloth spread on the table. But a bare table does not promise an increase in money for its owners;

When drinking tea, the foam that forms in your glass is a good sign of money, you should definitely drink it;

You should always fill a glass or cup to the brim - underfilling promises a lack of money;

Garbage, according to our ancestors, is also considered a bad otherworldly factor and should be gotten rid of. It should be swept from the threshold into the interior of the room, but not vice versa;

You cannot borrow money in the evening and on Tuesday, and it is not recommended to lend money on Monday;

If you are repaid a debt in the evening, you cannot accept it from hand to hand, you should scatter the bills on the floor and then collect them;

When borrowing, take money with your left hand, giving with your right;

When a debt is repaid to you, hold the fig in your pocket with your left hand;

Spending your salary on the first day is also a bad omen; the money should be spent overnight at home;

Negative - bad omens have been remembered and tracked by people with special care since time immemorial, this is due to the fear of misfortunes and tragic events that accompany bad omens.

Bad omens:

A bird flying into a window is perhaps the most common negative sign. It is generally accepted that birds are possessed by the souls of the dead and, having flown into the room, she decided to take away someone from those currently living in this house. The bird should be released into the wild as soon as possible, and spending the next night in this house is not recommended;

A broken mirror is also a bad sign. If it breaks in the house, it promises 7 years of misfortune for all its inhabitants, but if outside the house, then it is undesirable to even accidentally see yourself in the fragments, it is better to immediately turn them over, collect them and bury them;

A black cat, like a bird flying into a window, is the most common bad omen. In fact, if you delve into the history of this superstition, not everything is so scary, and only a black cat crossing the road from left to right for men, and vice versa, from right to left for women, promises misfortune. Otherwise, it is even considered a sign of good luck;

Scattered salt means a quarrel. It’s difficult to even call this sign a superstition, the fact is that several hundred years ago, when salt was in great short supply, and the presence of salt in the house was considered a sign of wealth, scattering such wealth really promised a major quarrel with the owner, and the servants who scattered the salt would it also threatened with flogging. Nowadays, things are much simpler with salt, and no one, of course, will flog anyone, but the sign remains, and its observance is ingrained in our minds. In order to avoid quarrels, having spilled salt, you just need to laugh or hit yourself on the forehead;

When gathering at the table, the number of guests should not be 13; if it turns out that this cannot be avoided, you should put another utensil and fill it with the same dishes;

You should not allow yourself to finish eating and drinking - the person who did this will take away all your strength;

Gloves or a comb falling on the floor is not a good sign - you will be disgraced. It is better for someone else to pick them up; if this is not possible, step on the fallen object three times with your left foot and spit over your left shoulder three times;

Returning, having forgotten something at home, is also a bad omen, there will be no way, and in this case it is better to cancel things;

Signs of health or illness

Some of these signs will probably seem completely ridiculous to you. How most of them came into being is unknown, although if you dig carefully, their background will be found. Some of the signs are easily explained. For example, if you eat a lot of potatoes, your health will deteriorate.

This sign reflected the difficult path of potatoes to the Russian table. There were potato riots, talk about how potatoes were the devil's food, causing misfortune and growing on the graves of sorcerers. In ancient times, it was believed that anyone who eats potatoes will burn forever in fire. Only in the 19th century did it become one of the staple foods of the inhabitants of Russia, and today it is considered a national food. So, eat potatoes for your health, but, following the sign, do not get carried away with them too much, like any other product, otherwise your health will indeed decrease.

A magpie sat on the roof of the house - to the recovery of the patient.

A white dove hovering over the roof of a house means illness and death.

Seeing 3 seagulls flying at the same time means a serious illness.

A dog with its nose down to the ground means illness and death of its owner.

If 2 blackbirds land on the threshold at the same time, you need to wait in the house for the dead person.

Hearing a dog howl means a serious and prolonged illness.

If there is a cat with tricolor hair in the house, its owners will never get sick.

When talking about someone's illness, wound, sore, you cannot show it on yourself. If you do show it, “remove” it from this place with your hands and blow the trouble away from you.

If a person following you steps on your footsteps, he takes away your life force.

If you eat a lot of potatoes, your health will deteriorate.

When you are sick, you should not look in the mirror.

You cannot sit with your back to the mirror, this leads to illness and loss of vitality.

A sleeping person should not be reflected in the mirror, otherwise he may get sick.

You can't eat while looking in the mirror.

If you use a cracked mirror, you may get sick.

You cannot lend your mirror to other people, otherwise their illnesses and bad emotions will pass on to you.

This also happens if you use mirrors in public places.

Superstitions and various signs on health turn out to be folk medicine, there are a great many. Of course, signs of changing weather or luck in business are undoubtedly more understandable to us. However, where did such superstitious definitions of health come from? Can they really tell the truth? Let's talk about everything in order.

So, first of all, everything depends on a person’s faith. Scientists have long proven that human thought is material and therefore, what we think about, what we hope for, or vice versa, what we fear happens in our lives. On this basis, I would like to convince the reader of only one thing: you should not get hung up on such things. We suggest you simply familiarize yourself with the health signs and find out what their origin is.

It is especially dangerous for our mental state to believe in bad omens. Psychologists recommend that especially suspicious people remember only signs that portend positive changes and not think about bad ones. Then in everyday life, on an automatic level, the corresponding attitudes will develop. However, some of the signs against diseases, of course, have reason to be taken into account. For example, you should not lie down on your left side when going to bed to rest. Thus, we place additional stress on our cardiac system. Of course, constantly staying in the same position while sleeping will, in any case, negatively affect our health.

They also say that you should not sleep with a cat all the time. It turns out that this animal not only takes away negative energy from a person. During sleep, cats become energy vampires, so waking up tired and exhausted next to your pet is not uncommon. You cannot read and eat at the same time, as your memory will deteriorate significantly. For a bedridden patient, sneezing means a speedy recovery. But if you get sick on March 5th, you can expect your health to deteriorate even more.

Housewives are not recommended to leave dinner uncleaned, also because if mice feast on the leftovers, the owners’ teeth will hurt. In ancient times, people never kicked dogs, because this could lead to the development of cramps in the arms, and especially in the legs. Also, you don’t need to throw your hat up - it will be. For men and women, you should always protect your private parts “from the evil eye,” that is, cover them carefully. Therefore, in the old days, women did not wear men's pants, unlike modern beauties.

For lovers of boiled eggs, there is also a sign. The shell of an eaten egg must be crushed finely, otherwise it will contain unclean energy. To step in other people's footsteps means to take away not only leg diseases, but also the fate of the one who walked ahead. The habit of jokingly hitting the body with an empty object (pipe, stick, etc.) is a bad omen, and you will be beaten.

They also say that you should not show on yourself what wounds or abnormalities others have. Many of us wish only health for ourselves and our loved ones, but we forget that this health must first of all be protected ourselves. Our ancestors led healthy image life, worked hard and ate only healthy food. This is something we definitely need to learn from them, and maybe it’s worth adopting some of these principles.

There are many different folk signs and beliefs, but a special place among them is occupied by signs and beliefs relating to the human body and everything connected with it. And this is understandable, because most often people saw their own and other people’s bodies, and therefore they tried to determine by the spill signs who was in front of them, what was bothering the person, and, of course, what awaited them in the future.
