It's already the 21st century, but many people remain superstitious and continue to adhere to the ancient "traditions", not even realizing why it is worth doing so. Signs born in ignorance penetrate our minds, forcing us to act in the same way as our distant ancestors. Today we will tell you about the reeds in the house. This sign is old and has changed over time many times.
Negative
For thousands of years, women and children have been collecting bouquets of various flowers from the fields and carrying them home. Some plants were considered medicinal, others were designed to protect against evil spirits. So what can be said about the reeds in the house? Signs speak quite clearly in this regard. There are various interpretations, but they all come down to one thing. Reeds at home are a bad omen. There are only two opinions among the superstitious population of Russia.
- Can I keep reeds at home? The sign will "answer" you that no. It is believed that this plant is able to bring illness and death into the house.
- A second opinion is less cruel, but also promises misfortune and misfortune to the one who put such an unusual bouquet at home.
In general, if you believe in omens, then you better beware of bringing into the house and puttingreeds in a vase. However, like any other marsh plant.
Positive
But it's not all bad. What else does the reed promise in the house? Signs also have the other side of the coin, especially when it comes to a completely dried plant or products from it.
- The ancient Egyptians associated this plant with power. Still, in an arid country, it grew only where there is moisture, which means it could cause extremely positive associations. Modern Egyptians try to acquire furniture (armchairs) made of reeds to symbolize the "throne" and the place of the head of the family in the house.
- If a dry reed (and any other dried plant) is placed so that it can be seen immediately at the entrance to the house, then it will scare away troubles and ill-wishers.
In everyday life
Currently, there are many more people who tend not to believe in omens. In addition, reed stems in ancient times were often covered with the roof of huts and temporary shelters. Thus, this plant was more likely to protect the residents than bring them trouble.
Now reeds in the house are a bad omen for housewives. But not at all because of the mystical properties of this plant. "Bud", it is an inflorescence that everyone likes so much and because of which, in fact, people sometimes bring reeds to the house, continues to ripen even standing in a vase. Therefore, at a certain moment, it will fall apart into fluff, which will cover everything that is possible. And it will be very difficult to get it out. Although, according to all the same signs, an "exploded" reed means a quick weddingor coming to the house of matchmakers.
Medicine
Another side of the coin about reeds in the house. Sign? No. Just information that modern medical scientists have received. Think about why the ancient Slavs believed that reeds brought illness to the house?
- We have already mentioned that when fading, the reed falls apart into fine fluff. It can cause allergies in particularly sensitive people. And this disease, if left untreated, can even lead to death.
- Any dried plant begins to disintegrate into tiny dust particles. They will settle on furniture, window sills, curtains, and then take off into the air at the slightest movement. And this can be dangerous for people with respiratory diseases (for example, asthmatics).
- Have you ever wondered who lives in the swamp from which you bring reeds to the house? Signs have nothing to do with it, because a lot of different rodents (otters, mice, rats) live on the shore, which are carriers of infectious diseases. By bringing home reeds that a sick animal has urinated on, you are putting the he alth of the whole family at risk. Many of the diseases are not fatal, but practically incurable, and you will be sick until the day you die.
Psychology
Another reason why you can't keep reeds in the house. Sign in this case plays an important psychological role. If you believe in signs, then in no case do not bring reeds into the house. The so-called chain reaction will work.
Surely everyone has had a similar situation. You wake up in the morning with a bad mood. Maybe they didn't get enough sleep or had nightmares all night. As a result, you have a very distracted attention. And then it starts - they hit a finger on the door frame, broke a plate, a bag of garbage was torn, they got stuck in a traffic jam, they were late for work, they got a reprimand from their superiors, they quarreled with relatives in the evening. A series of events began with the fact that you thought in the morning that everything would be bad. And here it is exactly the same.
If you are superstitious, then in the presence of reeds in the house you will subconsciously expect a dirty trick, some kind of misfortune or problems. This will entail a chain of events, as a result of which something is sure to happen. And you unconsciously attribute this event to the fact that you have reeds in your house. The omen will come in handy here.
Dreams
Apart from real life are signs associated with dreams about reeds. In most cases, there is a direct relationship between the reeds and the future of man.
- If you had a dream in which you saw a lush thicket of flowering reeds, then this should bring you good luck in various matters. Perhaps the solution to the problems that have been worrying you lately will come.
- Kamysh is the Slavic incarnation of Cupid. If a girl or a young man dreams of reeds, this can be a harbinger of a long and lasting relationship. Promises love and prosperity in the family.
- If in a dream you cover the roof with reeds, then you can finish the work you have begun and successfully bring it to the end.
- True andopposite dreams. If you dream of dried or cut reeds, then this promises misfortune.
- Burning reeds are a harbinger of betrayal and deceit. A person should be on the alert, but avoiding trouble is unlikely to succeed. Your life path can turn abruptly due to such shocks. Be careful.
Conclusions
Whether you are a superstitious person or a skeptic, it can be very dangerous to keep your own hand-picked reeds at home. We have given a number of negative consequences that can be expected due to the penetration of this plant into the house.
