If you plan to transfer to another person any item that is in your possession, do it correctly, and then problems and misfortunes will not affect you.
Why can't you transfer things across the threshold?
Superstition about the prohibition to transfer things across the threshold takes its roots from pagan times. In its place, our ancestors buried the ashes of their dead relatives. And they did this so that the dead could enter the house and help the living.
Therefore, this special place is capable of separating two worlds – the dead and the living. According to old legends, if you transfer things, wake up the souls of dead people, and thus, doom yourself to suffering and misery.
There is another reason why nothing can be passed through the threshold of the house. Any item you receive in this case will bring you bad luck, so the first thing you need to do is get rid of it as soon as possible.
How to properly transfer things across the threshold?
If you still intend to transfer something to another person, and are forced to do it exactly through the threshold, then do it correctly, observing the following recommendations:
- Invite a person to your house, and then hand him the thing, or take it from him.
- You can go outside the premises yourself and do the same.
- If a person intentionally wants to convey something to you through (especially money), this means that he wishes you unhappiness. In this case, you should not take anything from this person. If the situation allows, try to completely avoid contact with this person.
What else cannot be done through the threshold?
According to superstition, there are other things that cannot be done:
- You cannot communicate with strangers across the threshold. Ignoring this superstition can lead to serious quarrels and conflicts.
- It is also not recommended to sit on the doorstep. The person who does this runs the risk of attracting rumors and gossip concerning himself and those close to him into his life.
- There is also a superstition that the husband, after the wedding, should carry his wife over the threshold into the house in his arms. If the girl enters herself, then this will lead to a difficult and troublesome family life.
- Pay attention to which foot you step over. If you do this with your left foot, then your day will be unfortunate. By doing this with your right foot, you will be successful all day.
- Also, do not kiss your beloved or your beloved through the threshold. This can lead to the end of a happy relationship. It is best to kiss in the house itself. This will help preserve the wonderful energy of your love.
- If you are going on a long journey, be sure to say the last words before the doorstep, not on it. By doing this, you will ensure a comfortable and happy journey.
Try not to convey things, and you may see how your life really starts to change for the better. The wrong transfer of things can lead to unpleasant consequences not only from the receiving person, but also from the transmitting one.
Be responsible for everything you do. Every popular sign has a meaning. If you find it for yourself, you can save yourself from dangers and hardships.
