What does it mean to give bread to a neighbor. The most famous signs about bread

Signs about bread were formed in ancient times and almost all of them are connected with the fate of a person. Those who honored bread were treated with due respect, had both prosperity and good health, and good luck always accompanied such a person. Therefore, they tried to follow the signs about bread steadily. This has been taught since childhood. Here are the most common signs about bread.

Bread as sacred food

In the cultural traditions of many peoples, bread is more than just food. It is a sacred food that is used in certain religious activities. Among the Eastern peoples, when taking an oath, you need to hold a holy book in your hands and eat a piece of bread - flat cakes. However, the traditions and signs associated with bread are similar in many nations.

Even bread crumbs are of particular value - the one who eats them to the end will be rich, and if you shake the crumbs off the table, you will soon have to beg yourself. And as a sign of respect, first of all, bread should be served to guests. At the same time, in no case should you break it off with one hand, but throw it on the ground and even more so step over - and it’s completely sacrilegious.

The round shape of the bread or flatbread has a special meaning. The circle symbolizes the solar disk, and its light is the source of life.

The Kazakhs have a sign about bread associated with travel. Anyone who has a long journey ahead must eat a loaf of bread before leaving the house. The remaining bread until the return of the traveler is stored in the house. It is believed that higher powers will keep him on the way, and when he returns home, he must finish eating this bread as a sign of respect. In the place where they set off on their journey, they must certainly buy bread home. You can’t pass bread over the threshold - money will flow out of the house.

You can’t stick a knife into a loaf of bread or a loaf of bread, only cut it into pieces, but it’s better to break it with both hands

There are also special signs. For example, among Uzbeks, in no case should flat cakes be cut with a knife or turned over and put with the top side (cap) down - this is a big trouble, it is believed that luck can turn away for a long time. Any important event was preceded by the breaking of bread. This mission was entrusted to the elder or head of the family, from his hands all the rest received their portion of bread.

In the traditions of the peoples of the Middle East, as well as in Egypt, bread was carried as an offering to the gods, and the breaking of bread was associated with the saturation of the souls that had left the manifest world. In those days, it was believed that the god Anu kept the bread, as well as the water of immortal life, in Heaven. In ancient Egypt, up to 40 types of bread were baked.

In the Slavic tradition, bread is a symbol of mutual exchange between the deity and people, as well as between living people and deceased relatives. This is a kind of connection between generations. It was believed that the ancestors themselves invisibly take part in baking bread, and then receive their share in the form of steam or a specially allocated part of a loaf of bread or loaf.

It was customary for the Slavs to keep bread on the table in the red corner. It was also customary to store bread in front of icons as a sign of fidelity to God. It is believed that God, in response, takes care of the well-being of the family, so that there is always fresh bread on the table.

wedding omens

The wedding celebration also has its own signs about bread. So, even at the matchmaking, they take bread with them without fail. By antiquity, the hands of the young were placed on the loaf as a sign of unification and an agreement on a wedding. Already at the wedding, the loaf appears with the blessing of the young by their parents, and after the wedding, the newlyweds are greeted with bread and salt. The peoples of Central Asia still have a tradition of breaking bread over the head of the bride, as the guardian of the hearth.

There is also such a romantic sign about bread: if a guy and a girl bite off one slice of bread, they will be united by falling in love, and then, possibly, eternal love.

Of course, the traditional attribute of a wedding feast, both in antiquity and today, is a loaf. Every detail counts in its production. As a rule, in the old days, the dough for the loaf had to be kneaded by a married woman who has children and is happily married - this is how she will convey good luck to the bride. During the preparation of the dough, prayers were read without fail. But the finished loaf was put into the oven by the husband of this woman. The loaf was decorated with sprigs of viburnum, symbolizing love. In addition to the big loaf, small pies were baked, which were distributed to children during the solemn feast.

The wedding loaf after the newlyweds taste it, the godparents should share for the guests

A ready-made loaf, if baked and turned out without flaws, promised family happiness. It was not considered a particularly good omen if the wedding loaf cracked, but if on one side the dough burned during the baking process, this was a sign that the spouses would quarrel from time to time. The girls who wanted to, after the loaf was taken out of the oven, rolled out the tub in the courtyard, while the guys had to jump three times on the spot. In the center of the loaf, as a rule, there was a recess for a salt shaker. They carried the loaf on a new embroidered towel. It was considered bad luck to drop the wedding loaf, as it is sacred food.

And now such wedding signs are considered true: the bride and groom must bite off a piece of the loaf, whoever has it more will be the true head of the family. It is possible to break the loaf, then the one who got the larger half will dominate. In this case, salt should never be spilled.

Household beliefs

All signs associated with bread are designed to honor this sacred food. It is believed that if you feed dogs with bread from the table - to be a poor owner. You can not leave half-eaten pieces of bread on the table - this is a disease. There is also such a special sign - it is not recommended to eat up a piece of bread that another person began to eat, because in this way you will take away his strength and good luck. For the same reason, one should not eat bread behind someone's back.

In no case should you throw away the remnants of bread, it is better to dry the crackers and eat

You need to eat bread slowly, and making sure that crumbs do not fall out of your mouth - it is believed that this is a premature death. Among the Caucasian peoples, it is considered an insult to reject the treat offered by the owners, especially if it is bread. In some cultural traditions, it is not customary to even simply lean your elbow on a bag of flour. And if bread or a piece of it fell on the floor, it must be picked up, kissed and put on a raised platform, for example, on a windowsill.

And in general, in Russia it was believed that a person’s fate could be influenced - they brought either good luck or misfortune - the way he handles bread.

Bread not only gives strength, but also promotes harmony in all spheres of life. For example, two people can become true friends if they break bread at the same time and then eat it. “I ate a piece of bread with him,” this expression still reflects a trusting relationship and spiritual closeness between people. By the way, if you want to please the owners when you go to visit, buy and give cakes only in a clear amount.

If you accidentally bought or baked and brought an odd number of cakes or other bread products to your friends' house, break one into two parts. But an odd number of pastries or bread are usually carried to the wake: it is believed that no one else will leave the house in the near future. The preparation of bread, of course, has its own characteristics, for example, a woman cannot start baking bread on the days of menstruation, immediately after childbirth, and also after sexual intercourse. They did not bake bread during major holidays and on Sundays.

Bread that they forgot to take out of the oven had special properties. Magical properties were attributed to such bread: if a person tastes it, yearning without measure for a deceased relative or loved one and wishing to start a new life, then the bread will cleanse him of all negative emotions. It was also used as a healing agent.

Love and respect for bread were instilled from childhood

Thus, bread in all cultural traditions is considered a sacred food that requires special treatment. It was believed that if parents taught their child to treat bread with due respect, then they brought him up correctly and his life would turn out well.

Bread magic

Bread is probably one of the most ancient food products. According to historical data, it appeared about 15 thousand years ago. At first, of course, people used raw grain, but then they learned to grind it using stones, mix the resulting flour with water and make bread.

Those who lived in the times of the USSR probably remember such a slogan: “Bread is the head of everything!”. Of course, such an important product simply could not be used in magic. Our ancestors noticed that magical operations with bread bring the expected positive results.

So there was a whole direction - the magic of bread.

"Bread" rituals

Druids baked special, ritual bread on their fires. Everyone who tried at least a piece of such bread received its magical power. Therefore, it was accepted that all members of the clan gather together for a meal, on which ritual magic bread was necessarily eaten. It was also customary to feed this bread to pets.. Crumbs of magical bread were scattered across the fields: It was believed that this could increase the fertility of the soil.

It is interesting to note that for the preparation of ritual cakes and kneading dough, ancient people used a special sheepskin, which was considered a talisman and talisman, giving fertility.

The ancient Gauls had a tradition: bake oatmeal bread with a hole in the middle and scatter this bread over the fields where cattle usually graze. People believed that in this way it was possible to protect animals from being eaten by predators.

It is worth noting that the ancient Egyptians denoted bread, the sun and gold with the same symbol - a circle with a dot in the center.

The ancient Greeks believed that if the owner does not serve bread to the guests, then he is poor.. People believed that not eating bread is a very big sin, for which the gods will surely punish.

In Tibet, it is customary to scatter wholemeal flour, tsampa, into the wind.. Moreover, this ritual can be performed for a very different purpose: to ask the spirits of nature for something, for the New Year, at the birth of a child, and also at a funeral - so that the soul of the deceased quickly departs to another world.

Bread for Healing

The most important product on the table, our ancestors also used as a medicine.

For example, in Russia boils were treated applying to them chewed bread mixed with sugar or salt.

The rye dough worked really well. from broken bones.

And for that to stop the bleeding there was one proven way - to drink rye flour, which is diluted in water.

Divination on bread

When people bake bread, Demons run away to the mountains...
Old Arabic proverb

Bread is a sacred food. But bread is not only a symbol of life, it is also an indicator of future events. Yeast dough gets its taste and quality not only from water and flour, yeast and sugar. Its properties largely depend on the bioenergy invested in it.

This was well known in Russia, and therefore, to determine the character of the future bride, they carefully watched what kind of loaf she got. Many centuries have passed since then, but the old signs, which make it possible to judge a person and his fate by the nature of baked bread, are still true.

We all know that every hostess has her own secrets. One hostess has such pies that they themselves ask to be in your mouth, and the other will bake beautiful pies, but you won’t take them in your mouth. It is also known that the same hostess - once at a time is not necessary. Yeast dough products turn out to be lush and literally melt in your mouth, or they can’t rise in any way.

Modern bioenergy research shows that it depends on the upcoming events that await the hostess and her family. While the dough rises and reaches the condition, it absorbs the aura of the house and the energy of the person preparing it. Distortions of the biofield of a person and a place are recorded in the aura of the test.

Then the bread goes through a fiery birth. Its taste and shape are living evidence of what awaits the owners in the near future.

According to Russian tradition, bread was used for divination, that is, a round bun made from yeast dough without filling. It was baked separately from pies, although often from the same dough as the rest of the treat, but they dedicated it to the brownie and gave it to him for food.

Modern knowledge allows us to testify to the truth of folk wisdom: bread without filling more accurately shows the strengths and weaknesses of a person's aura and it is easy to predict his character and fate from it.

Let's start with the fact that the appearance and taste of bread for each hostess have their own unique features. The tastier the bread, the more vitality a person has, the brighter and cleaner his aura, the kinder he himself is.

The bread is fluffy and light speaks of the happy and light hand of a person and the special markedness of his fate: much in life he will get easily and effortlessly, as if by itself.

The bread is delicious but heavy quickly satiating those who eat it, indicates that the person who prepared it is a kind and wise person, but his fate will be difficult, he will suffer a lot because of the people around him. According to research, such a product is obtained from those people who have light bioenergy, but do not know how to keep it.

The bread is fluffy, but bland and tasteless says that the one who prepared it is lazy and greedy. This is the type of "sticky fish" that loves to ride at someone else's expense in life.

If a person turns out pies and bread either overbaked or underbaked, this speaks of his inability to think logically. In Russia, they did not like such housewives. They were said to attract trouble to their home and their children.

If dough products are constantly not fluffy, this suggests that evil spirits have started up in the house, and one of the household members has "the devil sitting behind the soul", that is, someone has absorbed a large amount of negative energy.

Excessively neat and beautiful pies, oddly enough, they testify to the hard fate of the hostess. Despite the beautiful appearance, the surface of the cake is usually uneven, it has many empty cavities. They say such "subcutaneous holes" about "holes" in the aura of the hostess. Through these holes, all the luck and well-being of this person goes away. Very often, such products are found in people born in a cursed year. It is difficult for such people to live away from relatives and the place where they were born.

Different in size and not too similar in shape to each other, but tasty and fluffy pies they speak of an interesting creative nature and often indicate a strong intellect.

Excessively fanciful shape of the product with good taste speaks of a nature that does not know how to draw conclusions and foresee the course of events. Such a person is so preoccupied with trifles that he does not notice the forest for the trees.

If the bread constantly cracks during baking- this is a very bad sign, a harbinger of the violent death of someone close to the baker. For the "author" of the product himself, this sign usually speaks of difficult trials and abrupt changes in his fate.

Constantly burning bread according to popular beliefs, - evidence of a vindictive and quarrelsome character. Such a person will suffer in life solely because of himself. If he can change his attitude to life, his fate will also change.

6:9

Very crumbly bread says that a person will have many changes in life. He will part with many friends and acquaintances, his social circle will be inconsistent.

These are signs that allow you to learn something about the life and fate of the one who bakes bread.

Signs that allow bread to predict the life of an entire family over a certain period of time

If you bake bread on the very first night you move to a new place, then the appearance of a bun without filling will tell you better than any oracle what to expect from life in a new house. predict your life for the new year may the shape and taste of the same bun baked the night before Christmas.

If on the day of the name day of the brownie, February 10, bake a bun without filling- her appearance will predict what awaits you and your family in the house during the year.

The best omen is considered tasty, lush, crumbly bread, which turned out to be a beautiful round shape, without sharp bulges and depressions. This form indicates that good health, prosperity, understanding and support of loved ones await you. This form also indicates that you can achieve a lot in life, relying on the help and support of people located to you. The only thing that such bread warns against is that you should not change your life.

The same bread, but not very even in shape, consisting, as it were, of separate peaks, speaks of the lack of harmony in the family, the loss of contacts with relatives and friends. Everyone in your house, as they say, "pulls the blanket over itself." This also indicates that the forecast period will be turbulent. Both in business and in money it will be “sometimes empty, sometimes thick,” and one should mentally prepare for this. There will be many strong, but internally lonely natures next to you, whose life path will tell you how best to act in this or that situation.

7:9

Sometimes a drawing on bread allows you to refine the general prediction.

For example, if the shape resembles a bird or a bird's head- wait for important news and don't get lost in a situation where you can go upstairs.

Bird feather shape- hassle with documents (sometimes a harbinger of inheritance).

Snake- a lying friend that interferes with your happiness.

Hare- interference in your life by otherworldly forces.

Cat - look for happiness in the house.

Cow - work hard and get prosperity and health.

Dog- helping a friend.

Bear- do not be afraid of obstacles, go ahead to the goal.

Cracked bread speaks of unpleasant future events. Your family will split, you will lose many friends and relatives. Usually this form does not speak of the death of someone. To draw a conclusion about this sad event, the bread should not just crack, but, as it were, break into several parts during the baking process. In this case, one of the parts should be noticeably smaller than the others, dry and even burn a little.

If the bread itself, despite the cracks, is lush and tasty, you will have enough health and strength to overcome the crisis. In addition, you will have a good financial condition.

If the bread is cracked and part of it is baked in such a way that it forms a small separate bun, - wait for replenishment in the family. It will lay new rhythms of life, often better than the existing ones.

Dry bread is considered a very bad omen. O indicates poor health and financial loss. Learn to be economical, "dry crackers long before the event." Be able to sometimes reconcile with fate without wasting your strength in pursuit of the unrealizable.

burnt bread predicts bitter moments and thoughts, tears and longing that will visit the fortuneteller during this period. However, if at the same time the bread is still tasty and lush, this will not prevent you from achieving material success and forgetting longing in moments of joy and fun. Try to be in the company of friends more often - this will give you extra strength.

If the bread is lush, but tasteless It's time to take care of your appearance and health. It's time to solve your problems without interfering in someone else's life. Be where you want to be. Date those to whom the heart lies, and you will soon notice how others will pay much more attention to you.

But whatever the prediction, the Russian people have always left themselves a loophole to tweak the future..

One such example was coaxing a brownie, so that he appeases the fate of the villain and, with the help of his home charms, smooths out the difficult period. That is why they gave bread, according to which they guessed at the brownie.

came to us from our great-grandparents, but is still popular and is actively used in wedding ceremonies.

In the middle there should be a recess in which a well-fixed salt shaker is placed. A welcoming speech is delivered by the mother-in-law or mother-in-law:
- “Congratulations on your legal marriage! We wish you happiness, health, long married life. Bread - salt taste, and we'll see who will be the master in the house.
After these words of welcome, the newlyweds bite off or pinch off the bread, dip it in salt and eat it.
It is believed that whoever bites off a bigger chunk will be the master in the house. After that, the young couple is congratulated again and kissed.
The ritual Bread - salt at the wedding - is a symbol of true and sincere harmony and expresses a sign that the husband and wife will henceforth be like grains of one bread.
According to legend, after this ceremony, the “bitten” loaf should be put aside. And they return the bread back to the young after the wedding celebration. Only the newlyweds can eat the loaf, and, as some sources say, the loaf cannot be shared between the guests!!! The only ones they can share bread with are their parents. It is desirable to eat it at the table, but not required. This sign is the embodiment of unity in the family, prosperity in their new family life.
The salt that was on the loaf is poured from the salt shaker into a small rag bag and placed behind the icon with which the parents met the young. A towel-towel is hung on the icon, the very one on which the wedding loaf lay. This means a kind of symbol and amulet for the family.

*RITUAL FOR THE RETURN OF DEBTS
Bread must be heavily salted, so that there is more salt than the bread itself, so that it cannot be eaten. At the same time they say:
"I salt your life (name), add salt!"
This salted bread at sunset is placed on the threshold of the debtor and they say:
"As this bread is salty, so will all the food (name of the debtor). You can’t drink water, you can’t forget about debts, return everything that you took from me. At night until those times you don’t sleep, don’t day , so according to my word it will happen. Exactly!"

* PROTECTIVE RITUAL WITH BREAD
Take a small piece of black bread, stick a leaf with a charm there and close it with bread crumb so that the leaf is not visible. Then dry the bread and store it so that no one will find it.
“Bread and wine, and the Lord who gives life! I seal my dwelling with this bread, I block it with bread, I consecrate it with bread, I protect it with bread. the thief will perish, the adversary will be crushed, the hater will strangle himself, the envious will go blind, and every evil thought will scatter before this bread, like dust before the face of the wind. Bread dries, and my enemy will die. Amen. Amen. Amen. " Then you need to say something on the loaf of bread, and put it behind the icons.
"My hand-written amulet, my words are cut down forever. Stand at home, do not attack the enemy. Amen."
Amulet to forge 1 time per year. Soak old bread and feed to birds.

*PROTECTION FOR THE HOUSE
You will need a piece of round black bread. Write on a small piece of paper
protective words and read them, like a conspiracy, 9 times. Then we fold the leaf and put it in the loaf of bread. The leaf must be properly covered with bread crumb so that it is not visible. Dry the bread and hide somewhere in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe hallway and the front door.
"I seal the house with bread,
I protect and block with bread,
I protect my dwelling with bread.
The enemy will not attack through the barrier of bread,
the thief will die, the adversary will be swept aside,
the hater will strangle himself, the envious will go blind and
every evil thought will be shattered before bread,
like dust before the wind.
The bread dries up, and my enemy dies."

*PROTECT YOURSELF
It is short-lived - for a week, then it is necessary to redo it. The conditions are the same. Carry in your bag.
"I speak bread for 7 days,
Slave (...) dissuade from trouble:
from the road, from the empty,
from windy and shaky,
from church and biting,
from land and bed.
from the grave death.
I'll roll away and bury
I will defend the edge."

*I draw your attention to the fact that all bread conspiracies are read in a whisper, leaning very close to the bread in order to touch it with the breath.

* CONSPIRACY FOR BREAD FROM NEED
This simple but strong conspiracy for bread is done only on homemade bread, i.e. homemade bread. They slander specifically on the seeds that are added to the bread before baking. And everyone who eats three pieces of the spoken bread will not know the need.
Take a handful of regular sunflower seeds and peel them. Put in a small bag, add a pinch of salt there and shake well. After that, pour the seeds on a white saucer without gold patterns, take a pinch of salt in your left hand and say a conspiracy to the seeds, which are then put in bread:
Behind seven castles, behind seven courtyards,
Bitter grief sits behind seven seals,
Burning grief, shedding tears,
In mortal sadness yearns,
Yes, he wrings his hands
Yes, pulls out hair
Yes, he pierces himself with a knife.
The serpent guards mountain fuel
Yes, it does not let out
And how will that snake fall asleep,
Burning grief comes out
Opens seven locks with seven keys,
Breaks the seven seals
Yes, it passes through the seven courtyards.
Goes grief fuel to people
Look for a victim and friend,
To shed tears
Yes, she poked herself with a knife.
Salt cannot be counted (you need to throw a pinch of salt over your left shoulder),
And we do not know grief
Guard the snake of grief not to sleep,
And we put down the sun.
Sunny, rise from the sea,
Fill the golden house!
Key. Lock. Language.
Amen".
You need to speak the seeds for three days in a row, and do not sweep the salt from the floor, you can sweep it only after the conspiracy has been made for the last time. Seeds each time should be left in a saucer, covered with a scarf on top. Home should be warned that these seeds should not be touched. On the fourth day, you should add the seeds to the dough from which you bake the bread (it is important that they do not freeze in a heap, but are distributed over the bread, and there are seeds in each piece, because it is they that give the bread a special strength and help people). Keep in mind that if you just eat even the whole handful of charmed seeds, there will be no sense. They only work in bread.

* SPELL WORDS WHEN BAKING BREAD
Surely you know the hostesses whose muffin is always so lush and tasty that you would eat without stopping. She will give a recipe at your request, it seems that you will do everything, but the bread turns out to be completely different. And the secret is that the hostess simply knows the words for pastries, so she has deliciousness and it comes out. Today I will teach you these words. Previously, they were passed from mother to daughter, kept secret from strangers, so that only the daughter would have tasty and lush bread. So that the glory went about her, dear, that she was a wonderful housewife and needlewoman. And I sincerely want everyone to get beautiful and tasty.
They say twice. Once, when the dough is kneaded, another time, when the bread is placed in the oven.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Be my cooking holy, winged.
Holy Mother of God,
Bake the Lord God's gift.
Bake with God. Amen.
Or like this:
Give, Lord, spores.
High bread and yata.
Don't run, don't take a bite, God's bread. Amen.

*BEFORE MOVING (in an old apartment) knead the dough from four cups of wheat flour, two eggs, two tablespoons of sugar, butter and salt. Take this dough to a new apartment. Take an icon, salt, rye bread and a cat with you. Already in a new place (still in an empty house or apartment), bake bread from the dough and note whether the bread will crack or be smooth. If the bread cracks, it means that life in a new place will not work out. To chastise yourself from misfortune, light three candles and say:
"In the name of the Father, everything will be fine.
In the name of the Son, everything will be fine.
In the name of the Spirit, everything will be fine."
Leave the freshly baked bread and the rye bread you brought with you in an empty house or apartment. Pour a glass of wine and leave it next to the bread. As you leave, say:
"Help yourself, spirit of the house, and we will come tomorrow."

SIGNS - BREAD

-Throwing away bread is a big sin . Whoever throws half-eaten pieces, and does not feed the birds, will become poor. - The belief is very ancient, and its meaning is clear: bread must be protected, it grew with the help of Dazhbog (the Sun), a lot of work was spent on its cultivation and processing. Whoever is not thrifty with bread, the heavenly forces will punish him. This is also true in the everyday sense: whoever is not thrifty is doomed to be poor. As for birds, since ancient times the people have had a careful attitude towards them, since the birds symbolized the souls of the dead. It is better to give the bread to them and thereby accomplish a good deed than to throw away a piece without any sense.

A large harvest of bread - to a close famine. The belief is based on the observation of the cyclical nature of crops and crop failures. Usually, due to the small allotment of land, the peasants sowed cereals in the same place, not being able to alternate crops. As a result, the land could not constantly bear fruit, required "rest", and a good year was often followed by a bad one. Belief tuned to economy and foresight.

Whoever eats stale bread swims well and is not afraid of thunderstorms. Modern doctors also talk about the benefits of dried, "yesterday's" (but not stale, not moldy) bread. Maybe that's why crackers have been so popular for centuries. But, I think, it is better to agree with V.I. We give that the basis is the usual pedagogical “divorce”: they say, eat, children, what they give, do not be picky. And since everyone wants to swim well, this skill is also promised. The connection of swimming with a thunderstorm is interesting here. The fact is that in the old days it was considered very useful to swim in a thunderstorm: people who lived in unity with nature could not help but notice the energy saturation of water in a thunderstorm. We went and communicate with the god of thunder and lightning - Perun.

At the beginning and at the end of dinner, eat a piece of bread with salt - fortunately. Bread and salt is not only a symbol of hospitality, but also a magical amulet. It was believed that salt protects against evil spirits and it is useful to eat it along with another holy product - bread. The very origin of the word salt is connected with the Sun: the ancient Slavic name of the Sun is Solon (that, by the way, was the name of the Macedonian city - now the Greek port of Thessaloniki); “to go salting” (an old expression, still existing in some places) - means: “to go along the Sun”. "Bread and salt!" - a traditional wish for good, prosperity, good appetite. And hospitality is close in meaning to hospitality. Finally, one more explanation for this sign: if you can eat bread and salt before dinner, it means you are hungry; and if you can after dinner, it means you haven’t overeaten. Good omen.

Having cut off a chunk, do not stick a knife into the loaf - this is to hunger. The sign reflects a special attitude to bread, which we have already talked about more than once. Researcher of folk art A.L. Toporkov also notes a number of signs: “It was not allowed for one person to eat bread after another: you will take away his happiness, strength. You can’t eat behind another person’s back - you will also eat his strength. Poverty awaits the one who gives bread from the table to the dogs during the meal, ”etc. And a knife stuck in bread idle is blasphemy. Bread can be offended and deprive the house of its patronage.

BREAD - in Russia it has always been considered a shrine, therefore, since childhood, a careful attitude towards it has been brought up. If bread is cut unevenly, a person's life will be just as uneven and difficult. When they put bread in the oven, you should raise the hem and say: "Rise higher" so that the bread turns out good. After sunset, you can not start a new loaf - to poverty. To avoid causing trouble, never turn a loaf of bread upside down. To avoid hunger and crop failure and, as a result, poverty - eat bread with great care, so that not a single crumb, not a single speck falls on the floor. If during the meal, without finishing your piece of bread, you started on a new one, it means that someone from your loved ones is in need and hunger. During dinner, a piece of bread fell - the guest is in a hurry. If you left half-eaten pieces of your slice on the table after dinner, then you leave your happiness. So that the bread does not mold, you can not put the half-eaten piece on the table.

In general, it is not customary to throw away bread in Russia - this is considered a great sin, and the punishment for sin can be hunger, need, illness. However, sometimes it happens that the bread becomes moldy, so what to do in such a case to avoid sin? It turns out that a person who has eaten moldy bread will never drown, so do not be afraid, eat any bread - and luck will always be on your side.

Perhaps some folk signs should be taken more seriously. Many are based on the observations and conclusions that our ancestors made, and they are not always amenable to explanation. To believe or not to believe is up to you.

Folk signs about a rooster

• If the rooster crowed at an inopportune time, they say: expect changes in social and political life. If you have a rooster, you can do without a clock: the first roosters crow at exactly midnight, the second until dawn (3 a.m.), and the third at dawn (5 a.m.).

Folk omens about the goblin

You will hear laughter in the forest - this goblin is laughing. Since ancient times, people believed that the goblin lives in the forest and is its master. He can help hunters, as he is considered the owner of birds and animals. If the hunter returns without game, then the goblin was in a bad mood and he interfered with the hunt.

Belief in otherworldly forces has remained with a person since the time of paganism, when people worshiped idols, made sacrifices to them and tried in every possible way to appease them so that there was a rich harvest or a good hunt, or happiness in the house.

Signs with cigarettes

It turns out that folk omens did not bypass this subject.

Folk signs about dishes

• Another popular sign - you should not give and accept knives as a gift - you will quarrel. This warning is based on the negative energy of objects that have sharp corners.
• Do not allow strangers to wash dishes, wipe the table and sweep the floor. There is a danger that good energy will be swept away, and in return they will leave their own. Maybe neutral, but alien, which means energy waste. The same meaning is contained in the next sign.
• Do not put knives and forks with the tip up - you will incur anger.
• You can not cook in a bad mood - this will lead to a quarrel and illness. This is how mothers and grandmothers teach beginner housewives, and they are absolutely right. Everything that an angry hostess cooks will carry her negative energy, and relatives, eating food, will receive a huge charge of negativity.

What does it mean if a mirror breaks

You can't look in a broken mirror. This is a common law for all peoples. According to Feng Shui, not only cracked mirrors are harmful, but also mirrors with a pattern, in general, all surfaces that break, crush the reflection, and therefore destroy the energy.

Among the ancient Slavs, it was believed that a broken mirror - to death, among the ancient Chinese - to a serious illness.

Signs about shoes

• Shoes must not be placed on the table - the owner of the shoe can hang himself. Of course, it's hard to imagine a situation where you put someone's shoes on the table. The shoe owner will at least be surprised and offended. And it is unlikely that he will decide to commit suicide for this reason. And the point, apparently, is that the table is an energetically dirty place. There is enough dirt on the shoes, and then a real energy vinaigrette will turn out!
• There is another interpretation. Shoes, picking up a new negative energy, destroy the owner's connection with the earth. And then he can really come to mind bad thoughts.
• Slippers, forks, knives, etc. cannot be crossed. This folk sign is explained by the fact that crossed objects give a strong energy impulse that is dangerous to health.

We hope that the interpretation of popular beliefs described in this article will help you in life.
