Family omens and superstitions. Folk signs for well-being in the family

To make family life easy, calm and without betrayal, our ancestors made a lot of efforts. Including, conspiracies and signs were used, which today you can laugh at. And you can think about why it was necessary for the wife to do this so that the husband would not stare at other women?

Are you intrigued? Then let's check together exactly your couple for nepotism and a strong marriage with the help of folk signs.

The matrimonial bed should not be in front of a mirror. Otherwise, change cannot be avoided.

Spouses cannot eat with one spoon either. Otherwise, the husband and wife will be extremely dissatisfied with each other. By the way, it is also undesirable to wipe your hands with one towel at the same time - there will be quarrels.

In order for there to be peace and happiness in family life, the young wife must smash a plate in front of the threshold, collect the pieces, and only after that go into the house.

If the earring donated by the husband is lost, divorce cannot be avoided.

Do you want to know how many husbands you will have? Frown your eyebrows: how many folds will be between them, so many times you will be married.

In order for the husband to fulfill all the whims and whims of his wife, it is worth stepping lightly on his foot during the wedding.

If the wife often stains the apron, the husband may eventually become a gambler or an alcoholic.

If the right breast itches, this is for the imminent arrival of the spouse or his return from a business trip.

If a husband has lost his wedding ring, it means that his wife is cheating on him. And vice versa.

Does your spouse ask you to cut his hair? Avoid this by all means. This will lead to the husband falling out of love with his wife.

And for dessert, the most fun. Our ancestors sincerely believed: if you want to see your husband's mistress, it is enough to look into his wedding ring with one eye and you will see the image of a lovebird.

From time immemorial, people have considered autumn to be the most successful time for marriage. Things are done and you can go for a walk! Now, few people take into account the old canons, but it is still interesting to get acquainted with wedding signs. In our hearts, we women still believe in omens. And although it is impossible to guarantee that, having played a wedding according to all conceivable rules, the young people will live like in a fairy tale, we try to make everything at our wedding “according to science”!

Weddings have never been played before...

On the day of the beheading of John the Baptist (11 September); on the day of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (September 27).
In May. On the day of the holy Apostle James on May 13 (April 30, old style), matchmaking was stopped. And if someone got married, they considered his proposal insulting and even shameful. It is a popular sign to marry in May, to suffer all your life. But there are exceptions.
On even numbers. Odd numbers are considered the best: 3, 5, 7, 9, or those numbers that, when added together, add up to the above, for example, 25 in the sum of 7. Marriages concluded in the afternoon are considered the most successful.

February 29 , on the day of St. Cassian the Roman. In the old days, on this day, they were even afraid to leave the hut, so that misfortune would not happen. “Kasyan is cross-eyed, brothers from him, bury everything, he will jinx it vividly, so much so that later neither the priests will scold, nor the grandmother will whisper.”

There are other "forbidden" dates that can be found in the church. If this is important for you, contact a professional astrologer and a specialist will choose the best wedding day for you, taking into account church canons.

In our hearts, we women still believe in omens. Especially when it comes to marriage. So, in addition to all the wedding preparations and troubles, you also need to take care of other important details, taking into account folk signs:

1. Do not give wedding rings to anyone before or after the wedding.

2. So that the young people do not need money, the groom on the wedding day must put a coin in his right shoe, which is then kept as a family heirloom!

3. Both the bride and groom need to fix a safety pin on their clothes with the head down from the evil eye. To the bride on the hem of the dress (from the inside), to the groom where the boutonniere is, but so that the pin is not visible.

4. The bride should put on something new on her wedding day, something from someone else's shoulder (except for a veil, gloves and, of course, underwear, stockings), something worn. She should make a couple of stitches on the hem of the dress or in another place invisible to the eyes, preferably with blue threads (from the evil eye). Shoes must be closed toe.

5. Before the wedding, the bride should cry a little. The marriage will be happy. It is best if these tears are from the parting words of the parents, and not because of some overlays or problems.

6. When the bride goes to church / registry office, the mother gives her daughter a family heirloom: a ring, a cross, a brooch, a bracelet, etc., so that this thing is with her at the wedding, protecting her.

7. Until the moment of the wedding / registration, the bride should not see herself in the mirror in full dress. For example, you can look at yourself without gloves or in a dress, but without a veil.

8. The bride should not let go of the groom's bouquet all day long. In an emergency, you can give the groom or mother to hold the bouquet. Only at a wedding banquet you can put it on the table in front of you, and in the evening you should take it to your bedroom. It is believed: if you release a bouquet, happiness can fly away like a bird.

9. After the bride has left the house for the wedding/registration, you should at least symbolically wash the floors to make it easier for the bride to enter the husband's house. The best thing to do is to her mother. 2-3 minutes wedding cortege may well wait!

10. When leaving the house for a wedding or registration, it is desirable that the bride wears a veil from the evil eye. When she enters the House of Celebrations or the church, if desired, the veil can be thrown back.

11. After the groom has put the wedding ring on the bride, neither she nor he can take an empty ring box or a plate on which she lay. It is better to take a box to an unmarried girlfriend or friend.

12. On the day of the wedding, parents should ensure that none of the strangers and guests straighten the clothes on the bride and groom.

13. Newlyweds must keep together at all times so that no one passes or stands between them. May the union be indestructible!

14. The wedding candles of the bride and groom should be blown out at the same time for a long life together.

15. After the wedding, the young should look in one mirror for good luck, for a friendly and happy life.

16. When leaving the church / registry office, you need to sprinkle the young with cereals: rice, millet or wheat grains to live in abundance.

17. Young people should not go to the banquet by a direct road. People say that it is necessary to mislead evil spirits, and therefore the route is chosen complex, ornate. By the way, on this occasion, in some countries, empty tin cans are tied to the rear bumper so that they strum along the road and scare away all evil spirits.

18. When young people drive up to the wedding venue, the car should honk loudly. This also applies to scaring away evil spirits, from the evil eye.

19. The newlyweds should dance at the wedding banquet only together and a little with their parents. Parents after dancing with their children must definitely reconnect them and bring them to each other.

20. The bride cuts the wedding cake, the groom holds the knife. The groom puts a piece of cake with the main pattern on the plate of his betrothed, the bride presents the next piece to the groom. Then to the guests. This is a sign of mutual agreement and help to each other.

21. Bridesmaids and other single ladies who want to catch the bride's bouquet, instead of the bouquet presented by the groom, need to throw an alternative, or "fake" bouquet ordered in advance, which looks a little like the bride's bouquet.

About the tradition of removing the veil. Usually a young couple is chosen from the guests and they become like a "groom" and "bride". The girl, the alleged newlywed, is put on a veil taken from the real bride, and the groom's boutonniere is put on the imaginary groom.

So, you can’t part with a veil and boutonniere! In this case, they came up with an alternative bouquet. The veil and boutonniere are kept at home as a family heirloom, and when the first-born is born in the family, for example, they cover the baby with a veil when he is sick, or hang over his bed from the evil eye.

22. When preparing a bed for the newlyweds on their wedding night (a close married relative can do this), the pillows are laid so that the cuts of the pillowcases touch. To a friendly life.

Signs of love, wedding, family

The fidelity of these signs has been tested by people for years, but times have changed, and some of them have lost their relevance or acquired the opposite meaning.
