Many people love the holidays, when it is customary not only to give gifts, but also to receive them. The problem is that we do not have the necessary information about these things, so we can inadvertently transmit negative energy through them and even provoke unpleasant events in the family of those who celebrate.
We will give an example of 10 things that some nations, and even our ancestors, considered forbidden to give
10. Handkerchief
If earlier in the era of knights and beautiful ladies, a beautifully embroidered shawl with initials was really an important symbol, now it is simply a hygienic means for wiping your nose during a cold. Also, many people associate the scarf with unpleasant and painful emotions, as it literally hints “you can cry and wipe me off”. It is believed that with the transfer of a handkerchief as a gift, a person receives problems and troubles, from which he will still cry. And, of course, scarves are invariable attributes of funeral services, so people of different nationalities will not appreciate such a gift, and in some cases they will push you out of their house unfriendly. But what to do if you have already presented, because to refuse is ugly? You can symbolically buy off the gift, and then wash and iron it by reading prayers. Others advise to burn an unwanted gift.
9. Watch
Time never stands still and leaves, symbolizing the act of aging, wilting, a feeling of irreplaceable loss of something valuable. A watch is an attribute that constantly shows this same “leak” of time, literally counting the days until the death of a person. At least, as they say in Asian countries. There is also an opinion that giving a watch is a wish to a loved one for troubles and quarrels in his life. It doesn’t matter if you present a table clock, a wristwatch or the famous “Apple Watch”. If you brought a similar gift, we recommend immediately paying off. Do not forget to change the batteries in the presented watches in a timely manner and repair them, because the "frozen" time in the home is a bad sign.
8. Empty wallet
Many people have heard of this bad omen. Still, giving an empty wallet or any other container, be it a bag, box, etc., is simply ugly, because in the future it is assumed that this item will be full. Therefore, a wallet must be presented with a wish for financial profit and the accumulation of capital, a contribution to which you make a symbolic bill or coin inside. Then the wallet automatically turns from a "nursery of bankruptcy" into a "accumulator of funds." If the donor didn’t guess to put the money in the wallet, then pay off the gift for a symbolic coin.
7. Books
Everyone sincerely believes that books are a storehouse of knowledge, therefore they make a person smarter, wiser, more well-read. Parents constantly give books to young children, leaders motivate colleagues with useful reading, and in elite circles a rare rare edition is a worthy gift. But in some countries, the attitude towards the printed product was completely different. For example, you cannot give it to a married couple. A gift book is believed to increase the risk of betrayal in the family. Here are such strange features that were seen behind the gift.
6. Medical devices and items related to diseases
Giving this is at least a bad taste, because you again remind a person of his health problems and sores. Looking at an object, he will not remember you with gratitude, happiness and fun, because associations with medical objects are ailment and unpleasant symptoms. If caring relatives sincerely believe that an expensive blood pressure monitor, corrective corset, or packaging of multivitamins is the most necessary and desired gift for you, then we will not dissuade them. Just give a little money in return to “pay off” from the unpleasant consequences of this gift.
5. Stitching objects
Sharp, stabbing and cutting objects must be handled carefully - it was not without reason that they were called “edged weapons”, and several criminal articles were taken for unfair use. Among other things, all gifts with a tip attract negative energy, symbolizing pain, injury, damage and even death. Nevertheless, in our life a good expensive set of knives is a welcome gift for many. Taking it, do not forget to pay off. But scissors, judging by the legends, shorten or reshape life, so some are recommended to get rid or refuse of such a gift.
4. Money
In our country, giving money is a common way out of the situation when you don’t know what, to whom and in what financial range to give. Moreover, such a gift is practical - a person will not receive another trinket or a “dust bag”, an object that is unnecessary or repeated in the house, but will spend money on the acquisition of a desired gift or emotion. Nevertheless, in some countries it is believed that donated bills negatively affect the life of the donor himself - supposedly he gives to another person not only hard-earned money, but also his own well-being.
3. Crockery
Luxurious wedding tableware for young people is an almost indispensable gift from relatives or relatives. However, ancient superstitions say that dishes should not be given empty (it’s logical, because this is also a container that must be filled). It is believed that an empty service will attract lack of money and failure in the house of celebrants. Put a decorative element, sweet treat or coin in a bowl or tureen in advance, which will bring happiness to the house and make the use of dishes more enjoyable.
2. Mirror
The mirror has always been considered a mystical attribute, as it allows a person to "peer into himself." It is also assumed that the mirror, if mistreated, takes away the beauty, youth and energy of a person. This is especially true of old rare items that supposedly can imprison the soul of the previous owner. If the mirror after donation is also broken, then there will be trouble in this family, or loneliness will live in it for 7 years. Esotericists advise against accepting such a gift or throwing it away immediately after giving, but carefully, without damaging it.
1. Pearls
Precious stones and metals are a luxurious gift for a person close or attractive to you, especially when you know his taste preferences, attitude to certain products, physical and astrological compatibility with them. Some stones cannot be donated or worn on certain occasions. For example, pearls always symbolize tears and troubles, so the bride does not wear a set of natural stones on a wedding day. And according to some legends, pearls symbolize the experiences of orphans and widows.
Of course, such reasoning borders on mysticism, superstition, or popular beliefs. There are no scientific statistics and facts that would confirm the effect of gifts on people's life circumstances. Sometimes annoying coincidences are observed, and another time a penknife presented on time can save a person’s life.
