Many folk signs and superstitions are associated with the threshold of the house. Our ancestors believed that the threshold is a kind of border between the worlds: the world of the house and the street. You cannot stay at the intersection of two worlds for a long time. It is very dangerous.
Why you can't stand on the doorstep of the house: the opinion of esotericists
Some peoples buried their deceased relatives under the doorstep. It was believed that the energy of ancestors is able to protect people living in a house from negative influences, to save descendants from misfortunes.
The ancient Slavs believed that a brownie lived under the threshold, and there was no need to disturb him once again.
Muslims still believe that jinn live under the threshold, so in no case should one step on it, let alone sit on it.
The threshold has long been considered a mystical place where several energies are concentrated. To be on the doorstep for a long time is dangerous for the human energy.
Why can't you greet across the threshold
In Russia, the people massively believe in signs and observe the traditions that have developed over the centuries. For example, there is one amusing case when, during the docking of the Soyuz and Apollo space shuttles, the Russian cosmonauts refused to shake hands with their foreign colleagues through the hatch. This curious incident was captured by cameras. This is how strong the traditions of their ancestors are in the minds of Russians.
You cannot greet over the threshold. This tradition is observed in many families to this day. If you stretch your hand across the threshold to greet you, then with a very high degree of probability, you will be invited to enter the house, or the owner himself will leave the house to say hello to you.
You cannot talk, transmit something, sit and stand on the doorstep
Again, it is believed that doing this can get you into trouble. This superstition is due to the fact that the threshold remains in the minds of the people the border between the worlds, although no one today buries dead relatives there and does not bury the corpse of a chicken before the construction.
If you left the house, but then you had to return, there will be no road
It is believed that if you are forced to go back and step over the threshold of the house, then you completely lose your strength. Superstitious people in such cases look in the mirror and show their reflection language.
You can not transfer money and things through the threshold
If money was transferred to you through the threshold, then expect financial problems. The energy of money is losing its power.
The threshold of the house can attract good luck
If you want to attract good luck and material wealth to the house, then put a coin under the threshold of the front door.
