Signs and predictions about knives. Strong protection of the house from the evil eye and damage

When hearing the word “Knife,” many people immediately feel a sense of danger. Perhaps that is why it is shrouded in various superstitions, myths, legends and mysterious stories. They have woven such a winding web around this symbol of protection and aggression that it is very difficult to untangle it and separate truth from fiction. Perhaps many signs and legends have no serious basis, but it is worth listening to some beliefs.

Signs about knives

Due to the fact that a knife can cause serious harm to a person’s health and life, the signs associated with it are mostly warning in nature.

Usually people try not to give knives to relatives and friends in order to avoid quarrels,
Pregnant women are not recommended to sharpen a knife to preserve the life and health of the child,
It’s better not to eat from a knife, because... it makes a person angry and aggressive,
It is forbidden to say the word “knife” at sea to avoid shipwreck,
you cannot twirl the knife in your hands, hit it on the table or scrape it - this will lead to a quarrel,
You can’t keep two knives on the table near food - there will be a quarrel.

All these legends are still alive and many of them are probably familiar to you.

However, there were times when a knife was a vital item for a person and then the signs associated with it were not so gloomy. A huge number of signs where a knife is endowed with protective properties are present in the life of Slavic peoples.

In ancient times, a knife was carried with them as a talisman, and was even placed under a pillow and under a baby’s cradle. This, according to the belief of our ancestors, protected a pregnant woman from complications during pregnancy from the evil eye and misfortune of a baby who did not have time to be baptized, as well as from the destruction of the family happiness of the newlyweds.

In order for a child to become a carpenter in the future, a knife was placed in his cradle. Also, to protect the baby during other people's funerals, a knife was placed in his cradle.

To protect the child from evil spirits, when going to church to baptize the baby, parents stepped over a knife when leaving the house.

They drew a magic circle around themselves with a knife to protect themselves from witches, werewolves and other evil spirits. They protected their homes by sticking a knife into the threshold or crossing the windows and doors of the house with it.

There was also a belief that a knife thrown into a storm could injure the devil.

To protect against storms and thunderstorms, a knife was stuck into the ground.

The knife was also used to protect domestic animals. When taking the cattle out of the barn, they stuck a knife into the wall and said:

“Just as a bear doesn’t eat meat from this knife, so don’t eat our Little Pestrukhonka.”

Then they carried the cow through the knife. Some Slavs, to protect their domestic animals, got up at first light, took a knife and ran around the barn three times, and then stuck the knife into the wall. To prevent the animal from falling into the clutches of wild animals, when the cattle went missing, they stuck a knife into the threshold.

As can be seen from these legends, the knife was of great importance to people. This is explained by the fact that in ancient times a knife could feed, protect and warm a person. Therefore, its role in folklore is often positive.

Fortune telling with a knife

Since the knife has always been shrouded in magic, folk fortune-telling could not do without it.

They took a wooden board and laid out pieces of paper with inscriptions along the edges. Also, sometimes the board was replaced with cardboard, on which the same inscriptions - answers - were written. A knife was placed in the middle of the board or cardboard. Fortune telling consisted of the fortuneteller asking a question and twisting the knife. When he stopped, he pointed to a certain inscription, which contained the answer to the question:

Be patient;
The enemy is plotting against you;
Good news;
Love letter;
Luck is shining;
Wait for guests;
A love adventure;
Tears will be replaced by joy;
Stay tuned for news;
A journey awaits you;
Important letter;
Don't rush into a decision.

Another option for fortune telling is fortune telling with a freshly baked pie and a knife. In the evening they stick a knife into the pie vertically. The knife stays like this all night. If in the morning he deviates to the side, then you should expect financial losses. If the knife remains standing straight, then this indicates good luck in money matters.

If you dream about a knife, then this may indicate something not very good. Just a dream with a knife means a quarrel or deception. Inflicting a wound with a knife in a dream may indicate that you will be subjected to insult or violence. Sharpening a knife in a dream means failure in business. If you dream of a lot of knives collected in a pile, it means you will be offended by someone.

Knife as a magical attribute

A magic knife (Atem) is one of the main attributes of a magician. With its help, the magician concentrates his internal energy and directs it to solve the problem. This knife doesn't cut anything. Its task is only to concentrate energy in the right place. There is also a knife (Bulin or Bolline), which has magical properties, in order to cut herbs, cut matter and other material objects. It is also used to block the actions of evil spirits, remove a conspiracy, etc.

Thus, it is important to know that Atem is called upon to open portals, cut channels, clear space, or summon spirits. And with the help of Bulin, magicians perform a specific physical action - cutting grass, branches, material and other components of a magical action.

How to give a knife magical properties

When choosing a knife to perform magical rituals, choose a knife with a wooden handle and a steel blade. The wooden handle will prevent energy dissipation. The blade, in turn, must be sharpened so that the energy goes exactly as intended. The knife should be comfortable and clean. Use only new knives for these purposes.

When purchasing a knife, you need to follow certain rules:

A knife purchased for magical rituals should be used only for this purpose.
It is strictly forbidden to discuss the price or take change when purchasing a knife.
If the knife is forged yourself, then no one except you should touch it.
In order for the knife to acquire magical properties, it must be placed under running water and left overnight so that the light of the moon falls on it.
Then you need to organize a magical altar, put a knife on it and leave it on the full moon. Before this, wrap the knife in cotton cloth and keep it in a secluded place. If the knife “leaves” the altar, then it cannot be used in magical rituals. For the altar, choose a place far outside the city, hidden from prying eyes. Ideally, there should be a hill nearby and a stream running.
To secure the knife to the owner, you need to drip blood on it. There is no need to cut your hand, you just need to drip blood onto the knife. You can't wipe it off.
Before casting a spell, you need to stick the knife into the ground, kneel down, and lean both hands on the ground on both sides of the knife. While looking north, recite the spell.
The knife must be carried with you for three days and placed under the pillow at night.
This knife cannot be used for sacrifices. It is intended solely for good purposes.

You can have different attitudes to the magical power of a knife. Someone may do this out of a great desire to join the other world. Some people don't take these things seriously. But for believers, communication with dark forces and, even more so, attempts to influence the physical and spiritual state of a person, especially an outsider, is considered a very serious sin. In any case, rash actions of a magical nature can harm both your health and well-being, and the well-being of your loved ones. Therefore, before embarking on practical magic, you should think seriously.

Every day we use household items that have become familiar to us. We don't think about their essence. But each of them is endowed with its own unique energy, memory, vibrations that interact with the vibrations of other objects.

In Kabbalah, for example, subtle connections between symbols, numbers, events, words, phenomena, and objects have long been noticed. Kabbalists are able to compose individual Kabbalistic formulas that strengthen or weaken the vibrations of certain things, helping a person achieve his intended goal. Folk signs also carry information about cause-and-effect or correlation relationships between things. Today we will talk about knives.

The truth is hidden in folk superstitions

The knife is an essential attribute of classical magic. Even ordinary knives that we use every day in the kitchen have magical properties that need to be taken into account. Under no circumstances should you eat from a knife. A person who has such a habit can change from a kind and affectionate friend to an evil and cruel enemy. And first of all, he will be his own enemy, since the destructive vibrations of the steel blade will pass into his personal energy field. True, black magicians deliberately eat from a knife, acquiring the ability to destroy other people's plans, disrupt relationships between people, and cause harm to health. It is very difficult to build a reliable defense against this.

Pregnant women are strongly advised not to sharpen knives. The baby may become entangled in the umbilical cord during childbirth and die. But here you need to keep in mind the method of sharpening. Obviously, you can't sharpen on a rotating sanding wheel. The energy of the torque can be recorded in the form of a program in the subconscious of a pregnant woman. For the same reason, you cannot spin, or indeed wind, thread, say, into a ball. Folk omens also say that sharpening knives after sunset can attract thieves to the house. There seems to be a congruent connection of events here. The robbers sharpen their knives before their dark campaign (at night). And if they have not chosen the house of their victim in advance, then they may subconsciously be drawn to the place where similar manipulations were carried out. (Like action attracts like action).

An uninvited guest and a magical ritual

There is a widely known sign: if a knife falls on the floor, a man will soon come to the house. You can analyze this sign in more detail. If the knife fell with the handle down, then an old acquaintance will come to visit. And if a knife blade is stuck into the floor, expect a visit from a stranger. In this case, the knife can serve not only as a diagnostic tool, but also as a ritual one. For example, if you do not want to receive a guest, then knock on the table with the back of the knife three times. This will discourage the unwanted man.

Don't give knives as gifts. This can provoke a serious conflict, quarrel, even a complete break in relations. And if this happens, then harmonizing relations will be very problematic. You'll have to destroy the knife itself. If someone unknowingly gave you a knife, then in return you need to give the donor a penny (any small coin). This action neutralizes negative consequences. You should also not pick up a knife on the road. Such an action cannot provoke trouble.

Naturally, we cannot live without knives in everyday life. You have to buy similar items, although not so often. When purchasing a knife in a store, make sure to give even money (without change). This will neutralize any negative clues and smooth out the rough edges of events in the future. Is it possible to pay for a knife with a credit card, you ask? This is not advisable. If you follow the balance of energies to the end, then you must pay for the knife in metal money. As if following the principle of exchange: metal for metal.

Subtle energies of a kitchen knife

The knife may have the properties of an invisible magical weapon. For this reason, you should not stick a knife into photographs of people, especially after the knife has been used to cut raw meat. And although at first glance the cause-and-effect relationships between these events are not visible, they still exist. It’s just that the uninitiated do not have sufficient knowledge to understand them. Let's say a wild native is unlikely to be able to build a chain of cause and effect after seeing you talking to someone on a mobile phone. But he can still be taught to use a mobile phone, despite the lack of knowledge in the field of physics and radio electronics. The same applies to the subtle methods of scientific esotericism. Therefore, ordinary people do not need to comprehend complex occult sciences, but they should take some precautions. And in conclusion, remember an important sign. When eating together with loved ones, never cut bread with different knives (but only one). But it’s better not to cut the bread at all, you have to break it with your hands. And although this does not look entirely aesthetically pleasing, by eating in company various broken pieces from one whole loaf, people unite on a more subtle spiritual level.

A knife is one of the most necessary items that performs many different functions. They can injure and even kill, protect themselves, make many useful things, and cook food. In a word, in good hands it is a helper and protector, and in evil hands it is a dangerous weapon. Naturally, there are many beliefs and signs associated with the knife. What does it mean to “find a knife,” and what should you do with your find so as not to get yourself into trouble?

What does a discovery in the form of a knife warn about?

In the traditions of all nations, finding a knife means receiving a warning about danger. This could be an attack, bodily harm, a quarrel, separation, or ruin.

Our Slavic ancestors believed that finding a knife that lies as if cutting the path of the finder with its edge would lead to death. If the knife blade is rusty, get ready to part with the person you love. If it is broken, it means that there will be a dark streak in life associated with unexpected obstacles that will disrupt all plans.

But losing a knife yourself is a good omen. Losing a knife symbolizes getting rid of a major trouble or problem that could not be solved. Sometimes fate takes danger away from you in this way.

If you are unlucky and you accidentally stumble upon an ownerless knife, do not panic and, especially, do not study the find, do not pick it up, do not pick it up. Just avoid it.

Knives tend to absorb the energy of their owners and therefore have powerful power. By appropriating such a find for yourself, you take away the fate of its owner, first of all, his failures, sins and bad thoughts, and therefore responsibility for them. This can manifest itself not only in troubles, but also in poor health, neuroses, depression and changes in personal qualities.

Any superstition only works if you believe in it and experience emotions about it - fear, anxiety, even horror. Don't focus on bad feelings, rather pay attention to your safety. Signs often give reason to think about whether you are doing everything correctly, in good conscience? The misfortunes that happen to us are not without reason. They are always based on our grievances, fears or bad intentions. If you find a knife, maybe it makes sense to reconsider your behavior and be kinder, calmer or more careful?

There are a lot of signs associated with a knife. The most harmless of them - a knife falling on the floor warns of an unexpected male guest. Other signs, as a rule, do not bode well.

Be careful and handle knives with care. Keep them away from children and do not leave them on the table. Do not give or accept knives as gifts. If it is inconvenient to refuse a gift, be sure to pay the donor at least a few coins.

Do not store broken knives, but if only the tip of the blade is broken, on the contrary, sharpen it. This kind of breakdown is an exception. It means that you were somehow lucky enough to get rid of negative energy.

Findings are never accidental. Most often they warn of unexpected turns, so you should pay close attention to such things and consider them as signs from above. It is believed that the sign of “finding a knife” is one of the unfavorable ones, but whoever is forewarned is forearmed. Do not pick up the find from the floor, and if you do accidentally do this, avoid potentially dangerous situations and you will be able to avoid consequences.

Every person has a knife in their everyday life. It has been used for various purposes for thousands of years. It helps a person in everyday life, hunting and fishing, at work, in self-defense, etc. Signs about knives affect many aspects of their use.

People are accustomed to listening to what the experience of their ancestors tells them, contained in sayings, tales, signs and legends. Some of them are still known, while others are rarely remembered or used. If there is this cutting object in the house, a person should know everything about it.

Energy of a knife

A knife in the house is one of the things that human rumor bestows with exclusively negative characteristics. This is more due to the fact that in ancient times the dagger was primarily a weapon intended for both protection and killing. Over time, with the advent of decorative daggers, this item began to receive much less attention as a source of negative energy.

Its energy has a negative value, regardless of the use of the item. It is for this reason that all signs about knives come down to preventing trouble or misfortune.

From time immemorial, any cutting object in the house was primarily a weapon and only then a kitchen utensil. He washed himself with the blood of animals or opponents, and at the same time helped a person in everyday life. It is for this reason that the subject received the reputation of a two-faced liar.

Old people often use the saying “It’s not the knife, it’s the owner.” He, like a sponge, absorbs the energy of his owner. If a person has bad thoughts and intentions, then such an object will carry them too. This saying also referred to murders committed with knives. After all, an object strikes only in a person’s hand.

The most famous signs

There are a number of signs about a knife that are constantly heard.

Even the most non-superstitious people remember the signs associated with the fact that a knife should not lie openly on the table or that the blade should not be inserted into the tabletop. They come from the life experiences of entire generations. People were guided by them for a reason. Signs personified warnings against troubles and misfortunes. Signs associated with dangerous objects were created based on the desire to protect oneself and loved ones from possible troubles or misfortunes.

You can't eat from a knife

The main superstition about knives is that you can't eat with them. Most likely, the sign appeared because eating food from it is not safe and can cause great harm to health.

Another variation of the belief says that a person will become evil if he eats from a blade. This also has a logical basis. They were usually eaten by those people who lived in field conditions and could not use a fork while eating. These were:

military;
hunters;
robbers, etc.

Since these people were not of the kindest disposition, the sign warned of the danger of resemblance to these subjects. Still, you shouldn’t eat like this, it can lead to injury.

The knife should not lie on the table

Another equally widespread belief is the prohibition of leaving a knife on the table.

This is due to the high probability of being injured by it due to negligence. But our ancestors interpreted this a little differently. There was a belief that a knife left unattended would attract danger and misfortune to residents.

A similar sign recommends not leaving the knife in this position on the table overnight. In the past, people believed that such an oversight contributed to the pranks of the brownie, who could injure or stab a person with a sharp object. In fact, our ancestors talked about the danger of getting hurt in the dark.

In addition to popular wisdom that it should be placed with the blade down, there is also an opinion that it is not advisable to point the blade at a person. This attracts disagreements, disputes and enmity. This is especially true for lovers and people with whom you do business. If a person constantly puts a knife with the blade pointed at his interlocutor, then their relationship will soon deteriorate.

If you fell

The sign of dropping a knife to unexpected guests is also often used. This belief exists not only among the Slavic peoples, but also in Japan, Germany and England.

This sign also has its own explanation. If the hostess is busy in the kitchen and in a hurry drops something, this means that she is in a hurry before the guests arrive.

If an object falls, then you need to take a closer look at exactly how it landed:

The tip stuck into the floor - a man with bad thoughts and intentions will come to the threshold. See who comes to visit over the next 24 hours. This person does not always show his true colors. This could be a relative, friend, neighbor or just a stranger. It's worth watching out for.
Fell on its side and sharply and points to a person, means that a guest will come to the house for whom he is waiting.
He fell on his side and pointed at the window - the family was spared by adversity. These are the tricks of ill-wishers or simply evil fate. You should be wary of repeated attempts to harm your household.
If you injured a person in a fall, then he needs to be more careful with his secrets. You should not trust unreliable people, otherwise soon everyone will know about them.

In China, they believe that a fallen dagger is a sign of trouble that has bypassed the house. And in African countries, someone who has fallen with the point downwards is a warning about the death of a loved one, but if he hits the floor with the handle, then there is no need to worry.

Two knives on the table

You cannot keep two knives on the table. This can be a sign of a quarrel in the family and even divorce. The same is said about crossed blades. If two knives are lying next to each other and their blades are crossed, you should expect bad news.

Little-known signs

There are also a number of little-known beliefs that are still used in society. They also concern the use of a knife in everyday life.

If it's broken

Popular beliefs about a broken knife predict misfortune for the family. Relatives of a person whose hands have broken a blade or its handle may be in serious danger.

A broken knife should not be left in the house. It's better to throw it away in a place where people don't go. This could be the far side of a park or an abandoned house. A broken thing should not just be thrown away, but a prayer should be read over it before doing so. You can use “Our Father” or any other famous one. Some practicing magicians are recommended in such situations to pay off the negativity by throwing a coin after the breakdown with the words “Paid!”

If found

Since the knife is the personification of violence and everything bad, such a find does not bode well. If the item was found on the street, it is recommended to simply pass by. If you want to throw it away, you need to do it with protected hands. Someone else's knife will not bring good to the house; on the contrary, it can quarrel with household members.

But if someone else’s blade ends up in the house and no one knows about the history of its appearance, then in most cases damage occurs. You need to get rid of such an item immediately, throwing it away in an uninhabited place. It is also recommended to carry out a ritual of sedum cleaning the room after this.

Depending on the type of damage, the knife can be thrown in completely different places:

under the pillow - damage to dementia or headaches;
under the door - to poverty;
stuck in the door frame - to death;
under the window - for discord in the family.

If this happens, you can punish the ill-wisher by throwing a dagger into the fire and reading the “Our Father” 3 times. Under no circumstances should a knife be handled with bare hands.

If it was stolen

Even if the knife was not used in occultism and rituals, it absorbs the energy of the people who held it in their hands and used it. Even a dagger hanging on the wall, used only as decoration, contains the energy of the house and all its residents. This is why a cutting object can be stolen.

If a knife goes missing and is not found for a long time, then people in the old days considered it a very bad symbol. Especially if after some period of time he was there. Such a piece of kitchen utensil must be thrown away without pity.

You need to throw it under a dry tree, and if possible, then into a full-flowing river with the words “Go all dashing things to your owner!” It’s better to do this at sunset, completely alone and not tell anyone about it. If an ill-wisher finds out about what happened, he will again steal knives for his dirty deeds.

You can't put a knife under your pillow

In parallel with the recommendation not to leave a knife on the table at night, there was also a ban on storing it under the pillow. According to popular belief, such an object under the pillow brings bad dreams, or even deprives a person of the opportunity to see them.

Conclusion

Everyone has at least one knife at home. It's hard to imagine your life without him. It is for this reason that it is recommended to listen to the wisdom of our ancestors, which has come down to us in the form of various legends.

Since most of the signs were based on basic rules of personal safety, edged weapons necessarily figured in them. It was also customary to charm an object when going on a hunt or war. Such a dagger not only obeyed its owner, but protected him from death.

Ancient superstitions that have survived to this day often worry us with promises of trouble. Finding or breaking a knife are bad omens. However, the ancestors knew what needed to be done to protect themselves from adversity. Why don't you arm yourself with this experience?

Known beliefs about the knife

The most common signs about knives are based on observing what events can happen if this device and weapon are handled incorrectly. As children, we were not at all frightened by horror stories, but warned.

Don't eat from a knife - you'll be evil!
Fell - wait for uninvited guests.

Broke - to difficulties.

Give (or receive as a gift) - to a quarrel.

This is only part of the superstitions that have acquired various details over the centuries. Let's look at them in order.

The sign about why it is better not to taste food at the tip of the tip has existed for a long time. All interpretations on this score are unfavorable. And the point here is not at all that you can injure your tongue.

Among the ancient Slavs it was part of occult rituals, a talisman against evil spirits. They sincerely believed that this item was capable of killing evil entities from the other world.

To this day he participates in various magical rituals. Improper treatment attracts evil spirits that can cause harm.

The device is also capable of transmitting a negative charge to someone who tastes a piece of food impaled on the tip.

Health problems

There is also a popular superstition: “eating with a knife means pain in the heart.” It is explained by the fact that piercing and cutting objects have a negative effect on the biofield.

From an esoteric point of view, evil accumulates at the end of the tip, which at a close distance to the human body can be transformed into a charge of negative energy that threatens to destroy the integrity of the aura. As a result, weakness and malaise (both physical and spiritual).

Troubles in family life

There are also meanings of this sign that relate only to ladies:

Eating with a knife means the spouse will get drunk or cheat.

Here's what else the habit of tasting foods on the tip of a blade can bring:

You can become stupid (your mind will cut you off).
By eating food this way, you shorten your life.
My husband is going bald.
Whoever tries it with the edge will be jealous.
You will become sarcastic.

The sign “the knife fell” has a precise interpretation - expect guests. Since the blade is a masculine object, a man should be expected. If you pay attention to exactly how the item is laid down, you can determine with what intentions they are going to your home:

The handle touched the floor first - a well-known person will visit.
Stuck - a stranger.
Stuck and the blade is looking in your direction - an uninvited guest with bad intentions.

It matters which knife fell. Signs in this regard promise:

its edges are smooth - the visitor is getting ready for a pleasant conversation; uneven - a man is pursuing some goal of his own;
there is a drawing on the handle - they will bring news.

If you are not ready to receive guests, perform a simple ritual that will help avoid their arrival. Pick up the fallen item from the floor and tap the handle on the table, saying three times:

Stay at home, don’t go out for walks, and don’t come into our house.

You can use other methods as well. Hold the blade over the fire for a little while, rub it with salt or wash it with holy water - the visitor will bypass it.

The worst omen is when the knife falls out of your hands while slicing bread. It means a relative's illness. To prevent grief, you need to pick it up and, without making a sound, knock the pen on the table three times. Remain silent for several minutes.

It doesn't just happen. Of course, a manufacturing defect cannot be ruled out. But if the blade suddenly rusts or even breaks into pieces,
you should be wary. After all, all over the world they believe in the sign “a knife breaks - this is not good.”

A breakdown signals that its owner has suffered a lot of negative impact. Perhaps someone tried damage , and the thing took the blow. You should think about protecting your home from the machinations of ill-wishers.
An accidentally broken knife can mean a quarrel, separation from a lover, or a showdown.
If you notice rust on the blade, pay attention to your health (yours and that of your loved ones). Steel (or silver) is covered with it when there are disturbances in the owner’s aura.

The knife is endowed with mystical power and is capable of jealousy. While you have just planned a replacement, you will already feel it: it will become dull, it will slip out of your hands, and it can hurt.

What to do with a broken one

You cannot leave a damaged item in the kitchen. You can throw it away, after wrapping it in paper, with the words:

Let this knife break, sorrows do not touch me.

Such a ritual will help protect the house from the attacks of ill-wishers who trade in magical dark rituals, or from the unintentional evil eye.

Although eye-catching knives can be a great anniversary surprise, . There are a number of reasons for this:

According to popular belief, it means a quarrel with the person who received it.
Because of the love of evil spirits for such things. When you present it to someone, you also give them evil spirits.
A device presented to newlyweds for a wedding will attract misfortunes.
Giving as a gift for the New Year means failure.

But what if you still want to give the hostess a set? There is no need to give up the idea.

The person accepting the gift must pay a few kopecks for it. Then the item will be considered purchased for money, and the misfortunes that folk predictions prophesy will pass by.

Finally, a warning to practicing magicians: if you find a knife on the street, under no circumstances bring it into the house!

Since knives have been attributes for hundreds of years
