Why is it considered bad luck to sew your clothes on yourself. Signs on the road - the secrets of a successful trip
There are many signs and advice related to the road. It is not without reason that people have been collecting all sorts of signs for centuries to make life easier for us. It is better to listen to the advice of experienced people than to reproach yourself for stubbornness later. To go on the road on Friday - there will be no way. It turns out that this was considered because Friday was women's day, women did nothing on this day. Departure on this day was considered to create unnecessary trouble for them (see how ancient men took care of their wives!), to cause their displeasure. Therefore, the departure was unsuccessful. So, if your wife is unhappy with your departure on Friday, it is better to postpone it to Saturday. Everything will be calmer. But a woman can leave on Friday.
To stand on the day of departure on the left foot - there will be no way. Why? Because the left side of the body gives off energy. You got up on your left foot and gave away energy that would be useful on the way. It is not supposed to wash your hair before a long journey. It was believed that with hair washing, the connection with the Higher Forces was weakened, whose help is always needed on the road. In front of the road, everyone: seeing off and departing, should sit down. This custom is needed in order to remember whether everything is taken, to gather one's thoughts: have you forgotten something? You can not ask the departing question: "Where?" This simple question can cross out luck at the end of the road. To smooth out problems along the way, you must answer: “I’ll throw a mountain for somewhere.”
If someone is caught on the threshold - not good. Yes, because you are in contact with another aura, which can hurt along the way. The meeting can be neutralized by saying: “I took mine with me, I gave mine.” So you restore road energy. Before going out, you can’t think about home, about home. If you devote all your thoughts to those who stay at home, then you will pay much less attention and energy to the road, which can be badly reflected in the future. If you go back, there will be no way. To ease the failure, you need to look at yourself in the mirror and show yourself the tongue. And you can also look under the rug by the door, as if you forgot something there.
If a black cat crosses the road, expect trouble. Yes, because it attracts your energy and your luck. To avoid trouble, you can choose a different path, turn to the side, for example. If there is no detour, spit over your left shoulder and cross the road that the cat ran down three times so that its energy does not damage yours. Meeting a monk or clergyman was considered a sign of misfortune. If he came across, show the fig in your pocket to neutralize his negative impact. Since people of this class are deprived of many joys in life, when meeting with those who are going on the road, they can envy, even jinx because of internal envy of those who can afford a lot. As blasphemous as it sounds...
With a cookie in your pocket, you will close your energy channels and protect yourself. To meet a person with empty buckets on the road (go with a bucket) is a bad sign, empty chores. An empty bucket robs a person of energy. (Just look at how many opportunities to take energy from us! And how we need to be able to save it and restore it!) It’s bad if you find something sharp, piercing or cutting along the way. This is a bad omen. Finding a split pin is in trouble, and a buttoned one is good. Just an unbuttoned pin can prick, hurt, and a buttoned one always protects a person from the evil eye, brings good, protects from evil. Never pick up sharp objects, don't even bend over them, keep going. If you stumble when returning home, a quarrel with your family is possible. If a person stumbles, evil spirits grab him by the legs. The person becomes irritable, which easily leads to a quarrel.
Good luck on the road
For good luck on the road, it is important to hold on to the corner of the table. Bioenergy flows from the corner, and an additional charge of vivacity before the road will not be superfluous.
If suddenly it started to rain before leaving - to a good path. Because rain is associated with a harvest, an increase in wealth, with good.
For a successful journey, take a sprig of wormwood with you. Wormwood has the ability to protect a person from the evil eye and spoilage, its smell repels rats, mice, fleas and cockroaches, which is useful on the road - any rubbish can get caught.
To meet a person with a full bucket is good luck. The energy of a full bucket is transferred to the one who passes by.
To meet a funeral procession is a rare success. A dead but not yet buried person is a link between our world and the other. At the time of the meeting, you can make a wish (any), and it will be fulfilled. But in no case should you cross the path of the funeral procession - this can attract the death and illness of the deceased.
To see a shoe or a mitten on the road - to a meeting with a loved one or with a friend. Shoe, mitten - symbols of a loved one.
If you liked the place and want to return there, you need to throw a coin into a pond, river or sea. Your energy, partially absorbed by the coin, will call you back.
Road signs are designed to facilitate the journey, because the road has long been considered a dangerous place. Find out what not to do when going on a long journey and how to behave when leaving home.
What not to do before leaving
Do not wash the floor before leaving, otherwise you will not come back. In modern beliefs, you can’t wash your hair and, so as not to become inattentive and forgetful. They contain the vitality needed outside the home.
But in Russia, they always went to the bathhouse on the path, as before any important business. You can follow and relax. A compromise solution is to wash your hair a couple of days before departure.
Don't sew up your clothes. Signs on the road promise failure. Set aside a wardrobe item until you arrive and put on something else. On the day of departure, you cannot lend money and borrow things - you can use personal belongings damage.
Do not step over the threshold with your left foot - evil spirits will pay attention. Do not put on the left shoe first. You can not step over objects lying at the crossroads, bypass them. Diseases and damage are reduced to such things.
Coming back is a bad omen
Forgot something - no need to go back. Of course, the sign is irrelevant if money, documents or other things that are difficult to do without are forgotten.

Those who have returned from half the way of belief are advised to think about whether it is necessary to leave right now. You can go out later or the next day - avoid many failures. There is also an optimistic meaning of superstition - by returning, you avoided the trouble that would have happened if you had stayed where you were supposed to be.
The reason for the negative meaning is the mystical meaning of the threshold as the boundary between the subtle world and familiar reality. Spirits can be offended by inattention and confuse thoughts. Deceived by them Guardian angel may stay at home and not travel with the ward.
Do not forget to sit on the path for a couple of minutes and be silent, the path will be easy. At this time, forgotten things are often remembered. At the exit from the house, he blesses the path, if he had to return, the omen will not work. This is also done before going to visit - so that they are well received. In some regions, they sit on the path on the threshold so that the brownie understands that the family is leaving.
What you need to do before the road - beliefs for good luck
Hold on to the corner of the table for good luck. The dinner table at which the family gathers symbolizes the connection with the home. In the old days, they kissed him in order to quickly complete business in a foreign land and return to their native lands.
Beware of evil eye and envy. In the old days, when asked by acquaintances about the destination, they answered that they were going to kudykiny mountains. In modern realities, you can answer: "on business."
To protect against evil and fatigue, fresh and dry wormwood has long been taken on the road. It can be stored in shoes, talisman bag, wallet, suitcase. Poor orientation in unfamiliar places? Put your clothes on inside out, you won't go astray.
Good and bad road superstitions
Rain on the road is a good omen, especially if it started before leaving the house. Water washes away negativity. Earthworms are not very pleasant to look at, but their presence on the street brings good luck on the road.
They forgot a certain thing and found it already on the way - the way back will be safe. If someone brought it before the train departed or gave it away on the doorstep, the sign takes on a negative meaning. A glove is lost - luck is gone.
Tripped on your right foot? The journey will go smoothly. Probably an interesting acquaintance. On the left - someone is discussing, and not in the best way. Injure your leg with a sharp object - there will be no luck.
Someone is following in your footsteps or stepping on a shadow - let him get around you. The trace and the shadow are endowed with a sacred meaning. Through them you can find out and inspire thoughts, bring damage or a love spell. Sorcerers know how to deprive of life force, feeding on the energy of an unsuspecting person.
The keys fell - to bad luck. At the exit from someone else's house, catch on a sleeve or other piece of clothing - soon you will find yourself there again. Choke at a party - see you again in a year.
Encounters on the way
Signs about dishes also work in a train compartment. If a fork or spoon has fallen, wait for a fellow traveler to appear. Knife - a man will come. To avoid the appearance of unwanted fellow travelers, silently tap the cutlery on the table. If at least one word sounded in the compartment, it will not work.
Any chance encounter on the way to the train station or airport is unfortunate. Especially if it happened at the exit from the house or the bridge. Wrap yourself around yourself three times in a clockwise direction to ward off bad luck.
Major problems await if the first person met outside the threshold is a priest. To meet a man - to good luck, a woman - to trouble. But a pregnant lady will bring only good events, just like a Jew in national dress. To see a hunchback on the road is very lucky. Any person with an empty bucket - to empty chores. With full bags or buckets - brings good luck to those who meet him. The funeral procession is a big luck, just do not cross her path. Wedding - at a loss.
Or a dog is a bad sign if he crosses the road or sits in the middle of it. It is especially bad if the animal does not let you pass. If a cat or dog of a different color behaves in this way, it does not mean anything.
Choosing the time to travel
Monday and Friday- bad days for a long journey. The point here is not only the intensity of car traffic, a few centuries ago they believed in this belief. Friday is women's day, the housewives rested at this time. Go on a journey - add worries to them on a day off. Best time - midweek or weekend.
A man can't go on the road at the new moon or at the very beginning of the growing phase of the moon. Woman - on a full moon. The night luminary controls not only the ebb and flow. Its influence on the psyche of people has long been proven.
Car superstitions advised to avoid numbers 13 and 6. Both figures have religious overtones. At the secret dinner before Jesus' arrest, there were 13 people at the table - the feast sign forbidding such a number of guests comes from here. The number 6 is considered the number of the Devil, bringing trouble.
We tried to get up early before leaving. The best time to travel is early morning. This is a rational sign, the one who gets up earlier will have time to do more things. Bad idea to go at midnight. The midnight road is full of difficulties and obstacles.
Signs for the mourners
When someone is going on the road, you can not wash the floor until the person gets to their destination. Otherwise the path will be "washed out", unsuccessful. They only block the road for unwanted guests so that they are less likely to disturb. Sweeping is also not necessary, rubbish symbolizes the dangers that fall asleep on the path.
After the guests leave, you need to brush off the tablecloth after them. Then the path will be “spread like a tablecloth”. From here came the well-known wish: "tablecloth path." Splash after clean water to wash away negativity.
Do not cross the road to the departing, go around him from the back, so as not to frighten off luck. If you want to see someone about to leave soon, look back often at the train or plane in which he departed. Then a loved one will think about you, and will try to find a reason to return early.
Feng Shui for travelers
Feng Shui teaches you to attract positive energy. His followers believe that the method depends on the direction of the world, towards which the path lies. The Chinese perform mini-rituals before traveling and feel comfortable anywhere in the world.
The direction to the east or southeast corresponds to wood element. Take a bunch of dry branches or stems, tie it with a red ribbon - this color attracts good luck and positive energy. Wave the bouquet three times in the direction of travel.
Going south, gotta appease the element of fire. Before observing the old Russian tradition - to sit on the path, light a candle. Watch the flames. Calm - and the path will be the same.
Are you heading northeast or southwest? These directions correspond earth element. At the exit from the house, pour three handfuls of sand, earth or small pebbles under your feet for good luck.
Going to the west or northwest, remember - there rules metal energy. Ring the bell seven times before leaving. The sound will scare away evil spirits and cleanse from the existing negativity.
Appease before traveling north water element to help her on the journey. Throw a glass of water in this direction, this will clear the path of negative energy and drive away evil spirits.
Travel superstitions will help to avoid troubles and fill the trip with only pleasant impressions. The road has long been considered a dangerous place, and they tried to appease higher powers so that the path was easy.
Vacation signs
The phrase "If a black cat with empty buckets breaks a mirror is in trouble" invariably causes a smile. Meanwhile, almost all of us knock 3 times on a piece of wood, "so as not to jinx it", and do not forget to "sit on the path." We propose today to recall some of the signs that have been honored by the Russian people from time immemorial - and those that are relevant for travelers during the holidays. So let's go!
Signs in front of the road
First, don't leave on a trip on Friday - there won't be a good trip. In the old days, Friday was considered women's day, when women rested, did not do any business. Therefore, sending them on a journey on this day of the week means creating trouble for them, and a departure burdened with anxiety cannot be successful.
With the day decided, now start cleaning the house. Yes Yes! After all, the journey will only be successful when the vacationer will wash the house to a shine and especially carefully the stairs.
But if you need to clean the apartment, then you should never wash your hair before a long journey. Otherwise, they say, you will cause trouble. People have always believed that hair contains the life force that a person needs on a long journey. And after washing the head, part of the hair remains in the water, part - on the comb, and with them - strength. By the way, psychics say that hair is an antenna that helps a person to receive important information from the outside world, it will be very useful to you in a new place.
Gathered at last? Now you need to sit down, be silent in front of the road and mentally ask the higher powers for good luck in the upcoming journey.
Are you leaving already? Don't forget to touch the corner of the dining table with your hand. Previously, the table was considered a symbol of the home. Therefore, going on a journey, a person kissed the edge of the table, asking the house for blessings for a successful journey and a safe return. Later, this rite was limited to touching the corner of the table.
Everyone knows that sewing in front of the road is a bad omen. But if on the day of departure you still had to pick up a needle, leaving the house, read the plot: “I’m going (my name), the Holy Spirit is with me, God’s seal is on me, and the enemy can’t take me. Amen".
If someone asks you “Where are you going?”, it is best to answer: “Over the Kudykina mountain”. It's not rude at all. It is believed that if someone knows your plans, he can interfere with their implementation. To prevent this from happening, return the “unlucky” word “where” to the questioner, keeping the upcoming path a secret.
Signs on the road
When you left home, were you the first to meet a woman? Be extremely careful along the way, as it is believed that it is much easier for a woman to jinx a person than for a man.
On the way to the train station or airport, make sure that no one is following in your footsteps. To avoid trouble on the road, stop and let the pursuer go ahead. Since ancient times, it was believed that the footprint and shadow of a person have magical powers. On the trail, you can not only find out the innermost secrets of the past, but also damage it, deprive it of vitality.
Do not be upset if you get caught in the rain along the way - rainwater washes away all negativity from a person, which means it creates a positive charge for a successful trip.
Signs with fallen knives / spoons are also effective on the road - in a train compartment or an airplane seat. If a spoon or fork falls on the floor, a woman will join you, and with good news; a knife fell - wait for a man in the company. If you do not want to see unexpected fellow travelers, silently pick up the fallen device and hit it three times on the table. If you managed to say at least one word, it will not help.
Some people are poorly oriented in a new place and go astray on the way, say, to a vacation spot. According to the sign, one has only to change one's clothes, turning them inside out, the right path will be found immediately.
Notes on vacation
Well, you are at your destination. However, forgetting everything, do not rush to the nearest shops and souvenir shops. It is believed that if you used up everything that was in your wallet when buying a thing, then while you are wearing this thing, you will not have enough money, and on vacation this is not good. But if you have a decent amount of money left, you will rest in abundance. Perhaps with the help of a new admirer.
By the way, if you have a pleasant relationship with a gentleman, and he arrived on a first date in a dirty car, then it is unlikely that anything will come of this novel. But if the car is white or any light color, there is a chance to continue the acquaintance.
Svetlana Petrova
On the Internet, I accidentally found a small list of signs for those who sew and knit:
- you can’t put an unfinished thing on the bed, it will take a long time to sew;
- if one of the relatives is on the road, then you can’t sew - you will confuse the road;
- if the thread gets tangled all the time while sewing or knitting, everyone will envy you when you wear this thing;
- if it does not fit, rewind the ball of thread and start knitting from the other end;
- it is impossible to damage a knitting person (knitting needles protect);
- if a girl sews with a long thread, then she will get married far from home;
- if you knit, the dragon will not eat you.
Dragons don't eat grandmothers - they knit in their mouths!
- if the thread gets confused or breaks all the time, then to whom you sew, that person is "harmful".
- you can’t sew anything on yourself - you will “sew” the memory (in the sense you will become forgetful).
And if there is no way to remove the thing, you need to sew it up strictly silently.
- if you sew or sew something on someone, then you need to put a thread in your mouth.
Who knows what signs or heard? Who has it come true? Believe it or not?
Elena (Sophronie) You can't sew "on the road", you can't even sew on a button.
You can’t knit for pregnant women - the umbilical cord will get mixed up, contact. (At the same time, all those who spoke knitted without consequences!)
Oksana (Misayo) Elena, I knitted and the baby did not get confused, but if the work is like this, now it’s 9 months not to knit? !
Elena (Sophronie) Oksana, the note says that all knitters were not hurt! And so am I.
During the time she was in storage, she provided for her daughter until she was almost five years old (half was not useful at all). It was about signs, not about laws.
Ekaterina (Lavada) It depends on who is superstitious.
Tatyana (Kaylyn) Ekaterina, I had such a case: I came to work, did everything that was supposed to work and took out embroidery in my free time. when trying, the eye of the needle breaks. It’s strange, as if something is preventing me from starting work. I remember that today is Easter. With the words, I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING! quickly removed all the needlework. Maybe this is a coincidence, of course? But on divine holidays, I no longer do needlework.
Tanya (Babhru) "You can't knit (embroider) during pregnancy. Otherwise, the child will get tangled in the umbilical cord"
FALSE!!! Checked on myself 2 times =)
Lyudmila (Johnpaul) I knitted in the winter, for a period of 8 months, gave birth. But at the same time the child was entwined with the umbilical cord, and also did not believe in these signs. Maybe a coincidence,
Nadezhda (Ceinfryn) Some signs, most of them, are true!
Lyudmila (Johnpaul) I also knitted during pregnancy, I had a double umbilical cord, everything worked out

Signs on the road
Going on the road, our distant ancestors tried to observe the signs that they promised ... Before leaving, you can’t sew or sew anything up.
Greetings, friends! Today we will touch on the topic of signs and superstitions. Almost every one of us heard from representatives of the older generation: it’s impossible, it’s also a bad omen, and you can’t even sew up things in front of the road. Have you ever wondered where these superstitions came from? Why can't you sew your own clothes?
“Do not sew on yourself - you will sew up the memory”
This is exactly what this sign sounds like in the full version. Why memory? And anyway, where does the memory? Oddly enough, this expression has its own logic.
It just so happened that sewing and needlework in Russia has always been an exclusively female occupation. And no one considered girls and women as a highly intelligent and remembering object - hence the “girl's memory”. Husbands often attributed deep forgetfulness to their daughters and wives, especially if they, carried away by needlework, forgot about the cake put in the oven.
What is the danger of sewing on yourself
It is unlikely that sewing on oneself became a bad omen due to the banter of husbands over their wives. Most likely, this led to a high probability of getting an infection. Have you seen what the needles of past centuries looked like? After all, the technologies of that time did not allow making high-quality tools. The product had a large number of burrs, bumps into which dirt accumulated, even rust was present. Such an environment is very favorable to bacteria. And getting pricked while sewing is a simple matter, especially if you sew on yourself, in a hurry. And what were antibiotics in those days? The risk of contracting tetanus, sepsis and other diseases was very high, and the possibility of recovery was low.
Nowadays, there is no longer such a danger, but I would not want to inject myself again, because sewing up clothes on oneself is not so convenient, and the risk of injecting increases.
Needle as a magical tool
It is believed that the needle is a dangerous magical tool used in witchcraft rituals. By sewing clothes on yourself, you yourself turn magical power against yourself.
Until now, many people know that an ownerless needle found in a house can mean damage.
How to get around the consequences of signs
I hasten to please those who believe that it is impossible to sew on oneself in any case: this sign has a simple “antidote”. If you do not want the negative sign to come true, you should sew it up carefully with a small piece of thread in your teeth. It is believed that this simple manipulation will be able to remove all the negative consequences of this sign.
Causes of signs and superstitions
There is, and always has been, a healthy desire of people to protect themselves and their loved ones from unnecessary trouble. In ancient times, people used only their personal observations for such protection. At that time, they could only observe such objects as the weather, life, and the behavior of animals. Based on them, subjective conclusions were made, thanks to which all kinds of signs and rituals appeared, which were supposed to protect a person from all sorts of troubles and diseases.
Now you know the origin of the sign about sewing on yourself. And do not forget that the origin of signs and superstitions is based on the experience of the past generation, and often these are just coincidences. Therefore, it is not necessary to take all folk signs as a practical guide. In general, there is some truth in all the signs, because in a hurry, sewing “on the road”, when you run out of the house, you will worry whether you sewed it neatly in a hurry. Attention is scattered, which is especially dangerous if, for example, you are driving or moving to work. Hence the conclusion - sewn in a hurry will not lead to luck.
