A little strange at first glance, the prohibition to keep keys on the table has not only practical significance, but also deep roots in history. This superstition has several explanations. To check the operation of the signs, put the keys on the countertop, and watch the changes in life. And what awaits you, folk wisdom will predict.
How does the symbolism of the key and the table affect the interpretation of signs?
If you look closely, then in this superstition there are two 'active objects': the table and the keys. Each of them plays a role in the meaning of omens.
Table
It is considered a link between the worlds (real and otherworldly). Therefore, you need to respect its surface. Do not put a dirty object on it, which you touch with your hands and never wash. As you know, dirty things also carry energetic dirt.
Another aspect: leaving a valuable thing on the table can be considered that it is literally thrown into another dimension. This will inevitably lead to losses, including material costs.
For the same reason, no symbols of emptiness should be left on the countertop – empty containers (not filled cups, plates, bottles). They need to put at least something or put upside down. The void will attract the devastation of the wallet.
And he should not remain naked, he certainly needs to be covered with a tablecloth (preferably beautiful). And to attract financial well-being, banknotes should be laid out under the matter.
Key
With the key, you are in control of the situation. To lose this item is to attract big problems. This translates into the destruction of the 'defense'. After all, a closed door protects you from uncontrolled intrusions from outside.
If the key falls into the hands of a magician, he will have full access to your home, will know your secrets, and will reveal all the secrets. In addition, the sorcerer will be able to influence your life.
Folk omens about the keys on the table
According to the omen, it is not recommended to put keys on the table, because otherwise it will be impossible to get rich.
In some countries, there is a tradition: everything that lies on the table is common, therefore, this item has the right to take any of those present.
Keys on the table attract the attention of those entering the room, they excite the subconscious, arouse natural curiosity, thirst for knowledge. And there is a superstition that playing with someone else's curiosity is a competition with the devil.
In addition to keys, you cannot put on the table: money, a hat, knives, empty dishes, containers.
And there is also an opinion that all things that end up on the table end up with evil spirits. Can you imagine if the keys to your house, from your world fall into the hands of the devil? The dwelling will be filled with dark entities that will do what they want.
Summing up, putting the keys on the table means attracting financial difficulties:
- close the money channel (no matter how long you work, there will be no money);
- open the way for thieves (if not literally, then figuratively – material losses cannot be avoided);
- the brownie can take it.
This list does not include other troubles. There is also an explanation why it is impossible to put, moreover, to throw keys on the table – because quarrels in the house cannot be avoided. Moreover, the more often these objects fly to the countertop, the larger the scandals will be.
There are a few more superstitions:
- If the keys are often lost – a sign: thieves will surely come to the house.
- If this item rusts – an omen of receiving an expensive gift, someone is saving money for it.
- If the wife closes the front door before going to bed, the spouses will quarrel throughout the night.
Considering all of the above, the keys must not be laid open on horizontal surfaces. They need to be hidden in a closed drawer, bag, pocket. For ease of use, special iron hooks are used, on which keys are hung. In this case, metal has a protective and organizing function. It was not for nothing that in the old days there was a position – a key keeper – a keeper. In modern houses, such a role is played by interior elements – housekeepers – houses with hooks.
Be sure to decide on a place for the keys, and troubles will bypass your abode!
