People are afraid of death as something unknown, beyond the control of reason. It is not surprising that many negative signs are associated with visiting the burial places of the dead. One of them prohibits turning around in the cemetery. A deceased soul can perceive this gesture as a call to follow you to your home.
Why can't you turn around at the cemetery?
- Any religion recognizes that death is not the end yet. Only a mortal body remains in the earth, while the person himself continues to see and feel. Therefore, a deceased soul can perceive this gesture as a call to follow you to your home. And the deceased, or rather his energetic essence, who finds himself in the house, is capable of causing a lot of trouble.
- If, leaving the cemetery, you clearly heard a call, then the soul of the dead man itself decided to ask for help. Never turn around. Go to church and order a memorial service.
- The prohibition to turn around at the cemetery gates is associated with the actions of otherworldly forces, under whose authority a person can fall through negligence. Sorcerers argue that after visiting the cemetery, you must leave the mercy to the deceased so that they are supportive. That is why it is forbidden to take anything from the graves.
There is a sign that the deceased consider any thing that ends up on the cemetery ground as their own and to appropriate it means to insult. Even when flowers or wreaths are thrown from the graves, new ones must be left in return.
What else cannot be done?
- it is unacceptable to sell or give to anyone any items that have come into contact with the deceased or the coffin;
- do not film a deceased person or a funeral procession;
- you should not visit the graves of others together with the funeral of one person;
- no need to count money at the cemetery;
- you cannot come to funerals for pregnant women;
You can only use water from a cemetery plumbing or a well for cleaning graves. Drinking it is unacceptable, it is believed that liquids absorb negativity.
If you accidentally violated the ban, before returning home, visit the temple, perform a prayer, light a candle. It will be useful to remember the deceased relatives. It's good to always have a bottle of holy water with you to wash away all negativity behind the gate.
