Why things get lost: folk signs. Signs for lost things Psychoanalyst Daria Berezhnaya

Our ancestors believed that every object has a soul. Therefore, if some thing suddenly began to behave “strangely” - broke, crashed or got lost - this is no coincidence! In this way she is trying to convey important information to us, to warn us about something.

Breaking is not building!

If your heel breaks, then soon you will probably have a new boyfriend. However, a relationship with him will bring disappointment, because a broken heel also symbolizes vain hopes.

A broken comb means gossip that others will begin to spread about you. Share less plans and details of your personal life.

There is little joy if an earring breaks, but the omen promises good things - you will find out a secret, reveal someone’s lies, and thereby find yourself in more favorable conditions than others.

The doorbell suddenly stopped working - it means you think too much about others, live with other people's problems. It's time to switch to yourself and your household. In addition, a broken bell reminds you that washing dirty linen in public is highly undesirable.

The breakdown (stopping) of a wall clock symbolizes the “stopping of time” throughout the house: some important things will freeze. If your wristwatch is broken, do not lend money to anyone on that day: it is unlikely that they will return it to you.

What do the lost people talk about?

Losing a gift as a gift means ruining your relationship with the person who presented it. If jewelry purchased personally by the owner has disappeared, then he is entering a difficult period of life.

Losing your keys in the house indicates your extreme fatigue, “intoxication” with communication and a strong desire to be alone. If the keys are lost outside the house, then this is a sure sign that you do not feel completely happy and, perhaps, are even on the verge of depression.

Clothes that we forget or lose somewhere indicate that we will soon get rid of problems that have been tormenting us for a long time.

If a small amount of money is lost, it means that the main losses (in relationships, in business), alas, are still to come. But if you had to lose a large sum, then this is a good omen, promising the end of a bad streak in life. Joy will soon come to your home!

If you put your clothes on inside out, ask your family to knock on your back, otherwise you will be beaten. - To put something on inside out means to offer to the external, hostile world something that is usually guarded, guarded, protected.

In other words, become defenseless. Asking your family to tap you on the back is a kind of sign that you have already been beaten and there is no need to punish you a second time for this mistake. This is the essence of this sign about things.

Signs about dishes

If you borrowed a pan (frying pan, plate, glass, bag, etc.) - do not return it empty, otherwise your dishes will also be empty. - The roots of the sign are the same as in the case of an empty wallet.

Eating from cracked, broken dishes - unfortunately, to a “cracked” life. - Broken dishes have always symbolized damage, misfortune - except for those cases when they were beaten deliberately (for example, at a wedding).

The essence of this sign about things in psychological terms is this: cracked dishes keep the housewife in suspense, forcing her to remember the situation in which it was spoiled. Naturally, this only adds to the frustration.

Signs about things

Drying yourself together with one towel means you will soon quarrel. - It is based on a ban on two people using the same thing. Also, two people (with the exception of husband and wife) cannot bite off the same piece; You can’t drink from the same glass.

Many proverbs are devoted to this (for example, about two bears that do not get along in the same den). The reason is the indivisibility of personal space, that which comes into close contact with a person and seems to take on part of his energy, spirit, and thoughts.

Don’t take someone else’s handkerchief - other people’s tears will be transferred to you with it. If they give you a new handkerchief, give a symbolic ransom, at least a penny.

In general, any thing that belongs to others is endowed by the people with the peculiarity of preserving the memory of its owner.

It is believed that a mirror remembers the faces of its previous owners, a broom remembers its brownie, etc. A handkerchief is no exception.

Here is another belief about the “memory of things” - this time of a positive nature: if you carry a rich person’s wallet with you a little, then your wallet will learn from him how to store money.

Signs about gifts

Giving something sharp (knife, pin, scissors, etc.) means a quarrel. You have to take the ransom - then it will all work out. - This is another one of the most common signs about things.

If, in the case of a gifted handkerchief, you need to “buy back” it so as not to cry later, then all sharp objects need to be “buyed back” so as not to get hurt by them and, therefore, not to quarrel (“I hurt myself with your knife!” - “Oh, you don’t like my gift?!” - etc.).

The belief also arose because sharp objects are associated with the evil eye. If they are “bought”, they cease to belong to another person. Your own sharp objects, on the contrary, already serve as a remedy against the evil eye.

Signs about the mirror

If a mirror breaks, you must throw it away immediately. - From a mystical point of view, a broken mirror is the most dangerous object in the house: it symbolizes a broken space, an open border between the world in which households live and the world where ghosts live.

Unlike a whole mirror, which in itself symbolizes a connection with mystical forces, a broken one shows the “double” broken, broken.

Two people cannot look in the mirror at the same time: they will love and suffer for the same person. - A mirror is one of the most magical, mystical objects in the house. There are many signs about things associated with mirrors.

With their help, they guessed fate (fortune-telling), they were closed when there was a dead person in the house (“so that the soul does not get lost”), they were removed away from babies (so that they would not be frightened and remain dumb), etc.

All this has both a mystical and everyday meaning.

Mystically, the mirror symbolizes the duality of existence, the border between worlds, the “receptacle of souls.” It is believed that in the mirror you can see both your old age and your death.

This superstition is built precisely on the mystical perception of a mirror, having captured yourself together with someone in the same space, in the future you will be related to everything only together with him.

In particular, you will fall in love with the same person.

The baby should not see himself in the mirror: he may get scared. If he has already started talking, he will become a stutterer. If you haven’t started yet, then you may not learn from fear.

As already mentioned, there are a great many beliefs about mirrors, and in different countries. Most of them are associated with the mystical belief that a person’s double lives in the mirror.

But in this case, the belief is based on real observations: the baby does not yet understand what a mirror is, has no idea about the possibility of his own reflection in it, and the appearance before his eyes of some little man with the same movements as himself is by no means It makes the baby laugh (as parents sometimes think), but it frightens the baby.

Signs about missing things

Losing a glove is bad luck. If the found pin lies with its head towards you, a friend remembered; if the tip is towards you, the enemy is plotting.

If any thing is missing, you need to tie a scarf to the leg of the chair and tell the brownie: “Play, play and give it back!”

Soon the lost item will be found. This is one of the most widespread beliefs; it is often remembered even now.

According to legend, the brownie loves to play with things and sometimes - not out of malice, but after playing! - forgets to return them to their place.

He especially loves colorful rags, scarves, and scarves. It is with this love that he is caught.

As soon as he sees a scarf tied at the level of his height (to the leg of a chair), especially bright, he immediately returns the item.

At the same time, in this way he thanks for the respectful attitude towards him.

Signs about keys

Putting keys anywhere means a quarrel. - One of the most true signs about things. How many times have any of us, looking for lost keys, accused our family that it was their fault!

As a result, the relationship became tense and a quarrel broke out. Moreover, as a rule, they remember about the keys just before leaving, when there is no time.

If you often lose your house keys, it means you will soon be robbed. - A very true sign! It doesn't even need explanation.

Any loss immediately worsens your mood, especially if a valuable or necessary thing disappears without a trace. Keys undoubtedly belong to the category of extremely unpleasant losses. Just one small object, imperceptibly dissolved in the surrounding space, can make you temporarily homeless, leave you without your favorite job, or block access to necessary things. In addition, the incident promises many unforeseen worries: a frantic search for the missing bundle, ordering new copies, or even changing the locks, and maybe the whole door.

In such a situation, there is no need to talk about positive emotions. The only thing that can at least partially brighten up the “bitterness of loss” is a happy interpretation of the sign. What does the loss of keys actually portend when lost?

“Lack of keys” is a happy omen

In most cases, the disappearance of a ring with a keychain and other jingling contents brings positive changes in fate and financial situation.

• For absent-minded youth, the loss of a key of any caliber and significance promises dramatic changes related to personal status. A young and in love flighty person in an instant turns into the head of the family. A carefree girl with an admirer, after a while becomes a respectable married lady. Well, lonely hearts finally find their soul mate.
• For a person who has been haunted by failures for a long time, the loss of a key means that the doors to further problems and misfortunes will remain closed forever, and a “white” streak will begin in life.
• It happens that a whole bunch of office premises disappear at once. For business people, the loss will be a happy omen, as it promises the conclusion of a new and very profitable contract, the establishment of useful connections with partners and suppliers.
• It’s great if you lost your keys on the eve of an important event. Any exam, interview or negotiation will end in complete and unconditional success, which is not surprising. After all, there will be nothing to lock the door to a new life in front of you.
• The “key” sign works great for newlyweds and long-married men. An unexpected loss promises a move for these two lucky categories of bewildered people. Old keys make room for fresh copies from the new home.

Unlucky "key" signs

Not every loss of keys can compensate for unforeseen difficulties with a pleasant interpretation.

• For a married woman, a missing ligament serves as a warning that all is not well with the household. Before the husband begins to show dissatisfaction, and the children do not get out of control, it is urgent to return the reins of power to your own hands. Shake yourself up and do some spring cleaning, cook a delicious lunch, visit your teachers at school.
• If the keys to a new apartment mysteriously disappear during a move, the sign foreshadows troubles and family problems. Most likely, changing your home will not bring you long-awaited joy, but dissatisfaction with the repairs and location.
• It is completely undesirable to lose your keys before setting off on a long journey. An unpleasant incident will guarantee an unsuccessful trip. You may become a victim of scammers or robbers, get injured, or get the flu.
• One of the most understandable interpretations of the “missing keys” sign says that crooks have their eye on your property. Such an incident requires immediate action: change the locks, set up the alarm, and always carefully lock the doors.
• If the keys are not completely and irrevocably lost, but simply forgotten at home, on a visit or at work, then the omen does not bode well either. Absent-mindedness can lead to quarrels with family, friends or colleagues.
• Beware of losing ancient, rusty lockpicks. After all, such time-touched things serve as a guarantee of good luck. Most people take good care of rusted or slightly misshapen horseshoes, hammers or nails. They know: the loss of a talisman will certainly lead to the fact that business will no longer be successful, all endeavors will end in complete failure, and luck will pass to the one who discovers the loss.

I was just holding a needle, a cup, a book, keys in my hands, I turned around, got distracted - the thing was gone. Not in your hands, not within sight range. Has this ever happened? Or someone decided to hide a valuable item away, guided by the well-known principle “If you put it further away, you will take it closer.” I personally once “put it away” and never saw the valuable ring again. Let's see what can be done in this situation:

Methods

1. The most common method. Tie a handkerchief to a chair leg. Considered quite successful. At the same time, you can also say something like “Brownie-brownie, play and give it back!”

2. A tried and tested sign is to simply turn the glass over and the item will be found.

3. If you think that the thing is in the house, start talking to it (it’s better if you are alone, otherwise your family will decide that it’s time to call an ambulance), and at the same time clap your hands. I don’t know why it works, but the glasses were found instantly.

4. It happens that quick rituals and signs don’t work, then we’ll start using more complex ones and move on to “heavy artillery.” If you don’t have one in your house, at sunset, open the window and, turning your face to the west, read the spell, while rhythmically clapping your hands: “Brother devils, come here, help me search.” Argamas, Arbamas, Avramas. In the name of this, in the name of this and the other. Take away the brains, get the thoughts of the thieves. Take away the will and the share until that hour, until that minute, until they return what they took. Amen".

5. Before going to bed, take a thread as long as your height, fold it in three, then fold it seven more times and tie two knots, put it under the pillow. Or you will see in a dream the place where the thing lies, or, when you wake up, begin to untie the knots, then you will remember.

6. You can put dried motherwort, lavender and wormwood in a copper cup (if you happen to have one in your house), add a drop of alcohol and set it on fire. Fumigate the entire apartment with smoke, and the loss will be found.

7. Place a purple one in the center and imagine the missing item. In the direction where the melted wax will flow down is where you need to look.

8. Imagine the missing thing surrounded by a shiny silver thread, one end of which you have. Mentally pull towards it, imagining that the object is approaching. That is, we will pull it to ourselves, and the loss will be revealed.

9. If you are not afraid of spiders (although why be afraid of them - domestic ones), find a spider, blow lightly on it and ask to find what you lost. In general, according to Vietnamese beliefs, a spider in the house is the guardian of the hearth.

10. Make a simple pendulum and walk around the entire apartment with it. Where the pendulum begins to rotate, look more closely.

If all else fails

Well, if nothing helps at all, then the old, proven method remains - to do a general cleaning, that is, wash and rearrange absolutely everything - from the screws in the pantry to the flower pots on the windowsill. I personally found almost everything that I lost over the past two years. This is probably the most effective method of all; you don’t even need to call a brownie for help.
