Popular signs and superstitions


People’s signs and superstitions exist as much as there is humanity itself. Signs have come down to us from the remotest depths of antiquity precisely because the significance of people’s perceptions and superstitions was absolute and undeniable for our people. Having various forms and manifestations, people’s signs and superstitions sometimes incredibly accurately mark the true essence of the processes that are taking place.

People’s signs are the observations of people transferred from mouth to mouth and accumulated in this way for many thousands of years. It happens that the same signs and superstitions are interpreted very differently by different peoples. For a Russian person, a black cat that crossed the road is an extremely bad sign, for an Egyptian cat, no matter what color – to luck.

In ancient times, people’s perceptions and superstitions had an extremely important influence not only on individual people, but also had a certain

influence in solving state problems. Sometimes the fate of the war could depend on the foot with which the leader rose in the morning.

Another extremely popular section in all the diversity of folk adjectives and superstitions are wedding signs. Generally, wedding signs are more like tips to newlyweds, they are simply presented in a simple and accessible form. In accordance with the people’s perceptions, even the month in which the wedding will be played, matters.

In general, having different forms of manifestation, popular signs and superstitions at times quite clearly reflect the true essence of what is happening. Often, the human mind is very difficult to learn and master the world around him. Moving to knowledge, a person is confronted with incomprehensible, mysterious, and sometimes simply miraculous things.

However, one should also take into account that in the popular signs and superstitions there are many incorrect assumptions and errors that explain almost any mystery with the manifestation of supernatural forces. And therefore we can conclude that the people’s signs and superstitions are not exclusively true explanations of what is happening, but can be more accurately pushed into some inner path.
