There are many superstitions associated with needles. In the old days, women spent a lot of time sewing. The girls independently embroidered various shirts with protective patterns for their husbands and sons. Often, in a hurry, a woman could prick her finger with a needle while sewing. Since our people are superstitious, they began to see some secret meaning in this.
Prick your finger with a needle
Why, according to signs, prick your finger with a needle?
Every superstition causes apprehension and fear for the future. People who are inclined to believe folk signs do not even try to find out the reason for their occurrence. It is generally accepted that pricking yourself with a needle is a good omen.
A superstitious person simply takes this statement on faith. If you follow everyday principles, a girl who pricks her finger should be considered clumsy or inept. However, the sign promises her good profit and the respect of others.
Trouble Coming
Haste in any business is the key to poor quality work and failure, so negative signs are mainly interpreted as follows:
- Pricking your hand while hastily sewing on a button means that the woman will become absent-minded and uncollected. People usually say that such actions “sew up the memory.”
- You should not pick up a needle before a long journey. Injecting yourself at such a moment means exposing yourself to troubles and failures. Popular beliefs warn that you should not sew or darn even before going to a store located near your home.
- If you accidentally sit on a pin, you can provoke conflicts not only with loved ones, but also in your work or school community.
- An injection from a broken needle predicts a severe illness or mental disorder.
The most significant negativity surrounds the sign for the bride - to prick herself with a pin or needle on her wedding day. Such an event predicts an unsuccessful family life.
But for the newlywed’s girlfriends or other guests, it promises a quick marriage.
Good omens
Not all signs associated with the tools of needlewomen predict negative events:
- If the needle fell flat on the floor, then the craftswoman should prepare to receive guests. These could be close relatives or good friends. However, in the case when the needle sticks its point into the floor covering, unwanted visitors will appear on the threshold of the house.
- A prick of the right hand promises good news, good luck in personal affairs and material well-being.
- An injury sustained while sewing a new thing indicates to unmarried girls that they should soon expect matchmakers and prepare for the wedding. For married women in adulthood, this sign promises a harmonious relationship with their spouse.
A needle tip broken during work indicates that the streak of troubles and financial difficulties is over. However, if the eye of the needle breaks off, then the omen begins to act in the opposite direction: failures and material losses will inevitably follow.
If there is blood
The appearance of scarlet droplets of blood predicts positive changes in life:
- successful studies and obtaining a prestigious profession;
- career growth in production;
- harmonious relationships in personal life;
- stable financial income.
All these signs are true if the injury was caused by a sharp needle tip. If your finger is pierced until it bleeds with the eye of a needle, then you should expect financial instability and a series of troubles.
A look from a medical and rational point of view
Injury while sewing is far from uncommon in medical practice. Doctors advise in this case to do the following:
- wash the wound;
- treat it with hydrogen peroxide;
- apply a bandage to the injection site.
If a person injects himself with a syringe, it is better to go to the hospital and undergo the prescribed examinations. It is necessary to tell the doctor how the injury occurred so that the specialist has a clear idea of which doctors still need to be seen.
Important! If the injection was very serious, and the bleeding does not stop for a long time, you need to forget about the signs and provide yourself with medical help.
Why get hurt with a pin or jewelry?
Popular beliefs relate not only to sewing accessories. Women's hands doing needlework are periodically injured not only from needle pricks. No less dangerous are pins and sharp fasteners of brooches, hairpins and other jewelry.
Injections with these objects are prophesied:
- troubles at work and in personal life;
- business bankruptcy;
- health problems.
The only exception would be for a bridesmaid to get a shot on her wedding or engagement day. This event promises the traumatized girl an early marriage.
Interpretation depending on the finger
Folk signs acquire particular significance if they are interpreted depending on which finger is injured. Favorable prognoses usually concern the fingers of the right hand. For the left hand, on the contrary, predictions of superstitions are not always comforting.
Thumb
A prick of this finger on the right hand foretells a successful career and a prosperous business. With a balanced approach to business, it is possible to realize ambitious plans. In addition to professional interests, personal relationships with the opposite sex will receive new development.
The left hand indicates that you need to reevaluate your attitude towards life, since frivolity or gullibility can lead to disastrous consequences.
Forefinger
A pricked pointing finger, under the influence of the planet Saturn, can change fate. His injury has a negative impact on a person's life. It’s not for nothing that furriers and shoemakers who work with sharp tools protect these fingers with special leather devices.
However, a pierced index finger of the right hand predicts positive changes - career growth, improved well-being. The black streak of failures and troubles must end and remain in the past.
Middle finger
An injury to this finger predicts conflicts with superiors or the judiciary. Litigation is possible due to unpaid loans or division of property. A thimble placed on the middle finger protects it not only from a prick, but also from the blows of fate.
Ring finger
An injured finger suggests that on the love front, not everything is as smooth as we would like. A man with a pricked ring finger runs the risk of becoming henpecked. This is a symbolic hint that he is losing his authority in the family. For women, on the contrary, the injection promises complete harmony in family relationships and material wealth.
Little finger
When pricked with a needle or other sharp object, a person focuses on his pain. Little does he know that each finger can have its own meaning.
A pricked little finger of the left hand predicts a disorder of the nervous system, depression. This is a signal that you lack adequate rest.
An injury on the right hand promises success in studies or scientific activities.
Interpretation for a woman
In ancient times there was a clear distinction: men were workers, women were housewives. For this reason, the meaning of the sign - pricking your finger with a needle while sewing - tells about future events for beautiful people. And they never mention the interpretation for the stronger half of humanity.
However, the prediction of signs varies depending on what kind of person the person was. If she:
- the girl is free, then in the near future a person will enter her life who will become her betrothed;
- is in a relationship - the beloved thinks, dreams about her at this very moment;
- a lonely adult woman - a stormy and passionate romance awaits her;
- a married lady - she is waiting for her second honeymoon with her husband, their relationship will sparkle with bright colors again, this will be the happiest period of her life.
Signs for girls and women
The beautiful half of humanity is most concerned about the meaning of folk signs. Perhaps this is why many beliefs and superstitions are associated specifically with the weaker sex:
- A pregnant woman who pricks herself with a needle on the side of her ear should expect the birth of a girl. If at the same time the needle in the hands of the expectant mother breaks, then twins should be born.
- A pin prick until it bleeds means broken relationships and disappointment in feelings.
- The bride is not allowed to handle sewing supplies on her wedding day. Unsuccessful manipulation of the needle will lead to negative consequences. Family life will not work out, and the wedding itself will be in jeopardy.
Nothing happens in life. The carelessness or inattention of the needlewoman sometimes leads to needles ending up on the floor. If such a situation leads to an injection on the leg, then trouble cannot be avoided.
If the needle fell
While sewing, needlewomen often drop needles. What could this mean? Most often this happens when women try to thread the eyelet. The location of the sewing attribute will tell you whether to expect good or bad news.
Usually a falling object indicates that you need to prepare to welcome guests. If the attribute points towards the hostess, it is better not to allow such guests into the house. If a needle falls with its eye towards the owner, good, faithful friends will drop by, and when it falls and lies across, it means strangers will come, and it will be impossible to avoid this meeting.
Before Christmas and New Year
National holidays, and especially church holidays, are not the best time for needlework. If such a need arises, extreme caution must be exercised to avoid injury.
A good prognosis in this case awaits only those craftswomen who dream of getting married as soon as possible. The sign foreshadows a marriage over the next year. However, this prediction does not promise a happy family life.
How to avoid bad predictions
In order to smooth out possible future troubles, you need to be able to find a quick “antidote” for them. How it's done? The best and time-tested amulet against all bad predictions is tying a red woolen thread on a wounded finger. It is recommended to wear such a simple decoration for at least a day. At the same time, it is important that no one sees your thread and asks: what is it tied for? Just take a patch and disguise your amulet. At the end of the effect of the amulet, you must burn the thread, wash off the ashes with water and mentally wish yourself good luck.
Well, another ritual is to light an ordinary church candle at home and walk with it to all corners of your home, reading the Lord’s Prayer in a low voice.
Fortune telling for needlewomen
The skill of seamstresses requires not only perseverance, but also good eyesight. Therefore, among the needlewomen, there were always more unmarried girls dreaming of a wedding than mature matrons.
Evening gatherings for handicrafts were one of the deep-rooted traditions. The girls gathered in one place, spun yarn, sewed and decorated clothes and towels with embroidery. While they worked, they talked to each other, sang songs and, of course, told fortunes from time to time. Each of them wanted to meet the betrothed who would lead her down the aisle.
While doing needlework on long winter evenings, the girls made their deepest wishes. And if during this period one of them accidentally pricked his finger with a needle, this indicated that the craftswoman would not be left without a groom.
Here one might doubt the veracity of this sign. A girl whose head is occupied with thoughts of marriage will sooner or later get a minor injury. Perhaps this sign was invented by such dreamers.
No matter what popular beliefs prophesy, sewing accessories require great care when working. An innocent prick with a sharp object can lead to a purulent abscess or blood poisoning. While working, it is best to concentrate on the safety of the process.
Pleasant predictions
Most good predictions about sewing are associated with unmarried girls. Previously, any young lady knew that if she pricked her finger, the signs spoke of good things. For example, about close marriage, gifts, approval of older relatives. For example, there is a sign that if you prick yourself while embroidering your dowry, it means that you will soon be praised.
For an accurate interpretation of the sign of a finger being pricked with a needle, it is important who exactly injured the hand. If she is a lonely girl, then she will soon meet her betrothed. If the craftswoman already has a loved one, it means that the chosen one is faithful and constantly thinks about her.
The pricked finger takes on special significance around the New Year. In this case, careless handling of a needle promises a meeting with a worthy man and a successful marriage. Therefore, lonely young ladies used to specially sit down to do needlework for this holiday.
There are other signs about needles and pins for girls. For example, bridesmaids, in order to get married quickly and successfully, tried to get a pin from the bride's dress at the wedding. Another superstition states that it is good to find a needle by chance. In this case, the girl will experience unexpected luck.
A broken needle also predicts good things. If this happens, it means that the craftswoman will lose something bad, but will meet something good. A powerful magical ritual is based on this sign. According to this ritual, in order to get rid of bad luck, the tip of a needle is broken by candlelight.
