At all times, people have come across signs and superstitions. Someone believes in them secretly or openly, someone tries to observe only certain "rituals" so as not to incur trouble. Some are afraid of black cats, some are terrified by the number 13, and for some, a meeting with a woman with an empty bucket ruins all plans.
About black cats. A black cat (or cat) crossed the road, then everything will be bad. This sign has been in existence for more than 15 centuries. Our ancestors believed that a cat has a connection with spirits, knows the way to the other world. Black, in turn, could be associated with dark forces. However, for example, the Slavs revered and loved cats. It was believed that a red or black kitten would definitely bring good luck to the house, and it is best to call the cat Vaska or Murka (Vaska is named after the god Veles, later St. Blasius, and Murka, because he purrs, purrs).
Friday the 13th. No work is done on this day. The number 13 is equal to a damn dozen. There are 13 evil spirits in Kabbalah. The Old Testament says that Cain killed his brother Abel on the 13th, on Friday. It is believed that on Friday the 13th Christ was crucified. In France in 1307 the Knights of the Knights Templar were executed. It happened on Friday the 13th.
About knives. Never eat from a knife - you will be angry. Since ancient times, the knife was intended for food extraction or for rituals. If you use the knife for other purposes, then you can disturb the spirits, which will send many misfortunes on a person, and he will become angry.
About salt. Scattered salt - expect a quarrel. Salt used to be considered one of the most valuable and expensive foods. The man who sprinkled salt could be said to be wasting good. If someone sees this, especially relatives, then a quarrel cannot be avoided.
Damaged dishes. You cannot store cracked dishes - you will become a beggar. It is generally accepted that dishes are a symbol of integrity, harmony and prosperity. If a crack appears, then something in life may begin to collapse, especially with regard to relationships, financial sphere and work. Even if you glue the broken favorite dishes, then it will no longer be whole. So it is in life: you can break it, but you cannot make it whole, it will be cracked.
