Superstitious people know numerous superstitions about knives. Piercing and cutting objects often become “heroes” of popular belief. With the help of a knife you can do useful things, cook food, protect yourself, or you can take the life of or cripple a person.
“Participants” in bloody stories are used by sorcerers for various rituals. Therefore, finding a knife is an unfavorable omen. But if such an event occurs, there is no need to panic. Negative omens can be neutralized.
Signs about the found knife
What is the danger
Perhaps, of all the signs associated with knives, the most negative are associated with what was found. Since ancient times, people have been wary of unexpected finds, even if they found money or jewelry. The situation is the same with the found knife, because it is one of the favorite objects of magicians and sorcerers.
No, of course, knives were also used as a talisman against evil forces: they were placed in the cradle of a baby so that evil spirits would come across the edge if something happened, they were stuck into the wall to protect pets, etc. But they were no less common in black rituals: conspiracies, linings, damage, etc. In addition, a knife is an ancient murder weapon, and such an object is simply saturated with negative energy.
It turns out that the knife you found could have belonged to anyone, it could even have been “lost” by bad people (murderers, sorcerers, etc.) on purpose.
Find a knife in the forest, on the road, near the river
According to popular belief, finding a knife in the forest promises loss. It could be:
- separation from a loved one;
- forced relocation from home;
- dismissal from work;
- disease;
- any other significant loss.
The same applies to finds on the street, on roads and near bodies of water.
The fact is that even if the knife is not a means of causing damage, it easily absorbs all the negative energy of the owner. To do this, it is not necessary to perform a specific ritual. It turns out that the new owner takes upon himself all the bad things (problems, difficulties, failures, etc.) that the knife has absorbed.
Knife condition
The omen about a rusty knife is considered especially bad; finding it does not bode well. Rust means tears and farewells.
The discovery of a new knife is interpreted a little differently: a sharp blade and an unworn handle mean difficult tests. The main thing is not to become limp and “not to cut yourself” on problems.
If you find a knife with a broken blade, this may be a sign that your immediate goals will not be achieved. By the way, this sign can be turned to your advantage. It is enough to think about what might interfere with the implementation of your plan, and then adjust the action plan.
Find someone else's knife in your house
Of course, finding a knife in your own home is extremely unpleasant. But first, think about where it could have come from. Perhaps you were on a picnic with a group of friends and accidentally put someone else's knife in your bag. Maybe one of your mushroom picker acquaintances came to see you right after the forest and dropped the knife in the corridor. Various things happen.
If the find ended up in a closet, under a carpet, behind a radiator, in the courtyard of a private lady or in other “deliberate” places, unfortunately, we can only talk about the tricks of envious people and enemies. Most likely, this is a lining and you need to know how to deal with it correctly in order to avoid trouble.
Item energy
It would seem that why an ordinary knife, and even more so a pocket knife, is bad, because such a useful item in everyday life can be used in different ways: to sharpen something, pick something up, or tear it off. An equally useful and important attribute in any kitchen is a kitchen knife, and a wood carving tool is even more equated to an artist’s brush.
Our ancestors realized the powerful power of such an item, so they used it everywhere. It was placed under the pillow of a woman in labor to protect her from evil spirits. They hid it in a secluded place in a baby's cradle to protect the child from the evil eye before baptism. In a word, this item was a powerful amulet in the old days.
But finding a knife is not a very good omen for a person, because previously it could have belonged to anyone. Perhaps they killed someone with it or robbed someone with it. Even despite its special attractiveness and high cost, taking it is strictly prohibited. The alien energy that such an item stores is transferred to the new owner.
What to do with a knife found at home
Once you have found a knife in the house and are sure that it could not have accidentally come into your possession, begin to act immediately. The main thing is to remember that you should never use a found knife.
What do we have to do? First, you should calm down, panic will bring trouble faster than witchcraft magic can do it. Secondly, you don’t need to pick up the item with your bare hands. Until it is touched, the object is not attached to anyone. Using a scarf or other dense material (which you won’t mind throwing away later), you need to take the knife and take it outside, away from your and other people’s place of residence. It is best to bury the find in the ground. The material in which the knife is wrapped can also be buried or burned separately.
After this, you should wash yourself with holy water and light church candles in all rooms. It is better to walk with them, especially in the corners of the house. Read a prayer.
It would be good to do a general cleaning of the apartment, thoroughly washing all mirrors and mirror surfaces.
What to do with a knife found on the street
In a situation where you happen to find a knife while walking in the forest, near a river, etc., avoid it. This way the bad omen will not work and troubles will bypass you.
It happens that a knife, being found by chance, turns out to be very beautiful or well made. It is especially difficult for men to pass by such a find. If you really need this knife or you are not too superstitious, you can pick it up. But be sure to follow a couple of simple steps so that the bad belief does not come true. They won’t take much effort and time, but they will weaken the potential negative influence.
Leave a coin where the knife was found. This will become an imitation of buying and selling. It turns out that you did not find, but purchased the item. The same ritual is performed when receiving a knife as a gift. The meaning here is the same: a symbolic fee, after which you become an ordinary buyer and eliminate the bad energy of the item.
Additionally, the knife can be washed in holy water or dipped in the river and read a prayer. If one of your relatives brought such a find into the house and does not want to throw it away, do the same. Dip it in holy water, hold it over a candle and read a prayer over it. It’s also good to keep the knife in a bowl of salt. This must be done immediately, before using the find for the first time.
Is it worth choosing
For some, searching for antique weapons is a way of life.
Following simple logic, it is better to stay away from a dangerous find. Of course, someone happens to find an ordinary bread knife, forgotten by the owners after a fun picnic. Most likely, his blade is not involved in “dark dealings” and does not carry any negativity. But think sensibly, do you really need this knife to risk your peace of mind for it?
However, there are times when it is really a pity to abandon a find. For example, if an ancient captured dagger from the Second World War unexpectedly falls into your hands. Or just a good, strong knife that can still serve a lot on the farm. And it also happens that someone in the family, unaware of the omen, brings home a “spicy” souvenir. How to be in this case?
What to do if you find it and want to keep it
Having picked up the knife from the ground, throw a coin at the place where it was lying.
This is how you seem to “register” the transaction: there was no find, you decorously and nobly bought an item you really needed, which is now considered cleared of the past and begins a new story in your hands. For some peoples, this simple gesture not only completely removes the negative from the blade, but also immediately transforms the omen into the category of happy ones! It is believed that all the most ardent desires of the owner of such a knife will be fulfilled, and all hopes will come true.
For the most suspicious people and perfectionists who want to protect themselves from other people’s energy as fully as possible, folk wisdom suggests performing a simple cleansing ritual. Read the Lord's Prayer over the knife, sprinkle the blade with holy water and ask higher powers to protect you from evil. You can also keep the find in a vessel with spring water for a while or lower it into a fast-flowing river.
How to neutralize the effect of the lining
If you are afraid that negativity is hanging over your home or your loved ones, carry out a universal cleaning. There are many options. For example, like this:
- Get into the bathroom and rub your entire body with salt (without extra zeal, all you need is irritation right now!), and then run the water. Stand in the shower, imagining how dark energy leaves your body and immediately flows down the drain.
- After getting out of the shower, put on clean clothes, open all the windows, light a sprig of St. John's wort on a plate and start cleaning.
- First, wipe all the mirrors using a clockwise circular motion. Moreover, it is advisable to make as many waves with a rag over each one, for how many years it has served you.
- Did you manage? Move to the floor. There are some discrepancies here: some suggest spraying all corners of the house with melt water and rinsing your hands and face with it, while others wash the floor with a solution of sea salt, which copes well with foreign energies.
- Light a candle and pass it across the front door from right to left, first at the level of the peephole and then the handle. If you are not afraid that your neighbors will start calling the priest at the nearest church or, even worse, at a psychiatric clinic, try to treat the outside of the door in the same way. And then clockwise, sequentially walk around all corners of the apartment with a candle.
- Wash your hands with salt and stop thinking about bad things.
Signs about a lost knife
The loss of a knife is often interpreted as a good sign. This can be explained simply by the opposite: taking and using a found knife that someone has lost means taking away that person’s problems, it turns out that the “confused” person got rid of troubles. Many consider the only negative side here to be the fact of loss, especially if the knife was good or given as a gift.
But there is another sign: losing a knife means putting yourself in danger. However, given that the superstition came to us from the northern peoples, for them it really made sense. The knife was a weapon of defense and hunting, i.e. a person without a knife can easily be attacked - he will not be able to defend himself, and he is also in danger of starvation - he will not be able to hunt.
Lose a knife at home
Knives in the house can disappear for various reasons. Small potato peelers, for example, can easily end up in the trash bin along with potato skins, either absent-mindedly or in a hurry. In general, there are different reasons.
Even in ancient times, knives were given a special symbolic meaning. Finding a knife is a sign warning of changes in fate. With the necessary knowledge, the negative effect can be eliminated.
Lost item
Outside the home
This sign has several interpretations:
- Some people believe that losing a knife on the street, in the forest or near a river is a good sign. It is believed that enemies who sharpen a knife will soon leave it alone.
- Other interpreters regard such a loss as a danger for the owner of this thing. This sign came to us from the Scandinavian countries. If you had to lose a knife, this is a sure sign that there is a life-threatening danger.
- Even in ancient times, the loss of such a thing was more significant for a man than for a woman. Having lost a knife, our ancestors could have escaped from such an event with a loss of strength or a severe but curable illness. For men, such a loss meant death.
Lost in the house
The situation when kitchen tools are lost is quite common. Knives can disappear from the house for certain reasons or for no reason. Often, in a hurry, the housewife may throw away this item along with potato skins or other products. But if he disappears without a trace, many begin to look for an explanation. Is there some kind of mysticism in this?
In ancient times, our ancestors regarded such a loss as a prank of the home patron - the brownie. It was believed that if a knife disappeared without a trace, it meant that it was carried away by an angry brownie. This problem was resolved quite simply. At night, a plate of milk was placed on the table or floor and, when going to bed, the words were spoken.
If you don’t think about it, the word “find” sounds very promising. If you're lucky, you'll get something useful; no - you will stay with your own. Either way, you win! On the other hand, you can find a lot of troubles for your head, and adventures for your fifth point. Our ancestors were well aware of this and believed in omens, which is why they treated any finds with suspicion. Especially something as dangerous as a knife. What does it mean to find or, worse, lose it?
Possible interpretations
People have long been very cautious about the unexpected discovery of objects, even if it was money or precious stones. This was especially true of the knife - the favorite item of witches and sorcerers. It was also used as a powerful amulet when placed in the bed of a newborn child. Expectant mothers left it under their pillow, they believed that it was able to protect them from demons at night.
In the traditions of all nations, the sign of finding a knife is a warning about a number of negative events:
- attack;
- quarrel with relatives;
- separation from family and friends;
- bodily injury.
If a knife was used to harm a person or take his life, then this will be transferred to the new owner. Such a unit will absorb all the emotions and qualities of the old owner and bring nightmares and groundless remorse to the new one.
The most common beliefs in European culture say, if you find a knife:
- rusty - symbolizes separation and imminent separation from a loved one;
- acute - a sign of life’s difficulties and failures;
- well sharpened with a broken end - failure to fulfill dreams and plans;
- with a broken blade - you should prepare for a dark streak in life.
But losing a knife is a good omen. It symbolizes liberation from major troubles and troubles.
Find on the street
Knives absorb the energy of their owners. Therefore, they have powerful power, which they transfer to the one who finds it. By appropriating an object for himself, a person absorbs the fate of the previous owner. This applies to failures, problems, sins, bad thoughts. If you take a knife found on the road for yourself, you can expect poor health, neuroses, and depression.
According to popular superstitions, finding a knife on the street means
:
- separation from a loved one;
- dismissal from work;
- chronic diseases;
- unwanted move to a new place;
- protracted serious illness.
Such a find promises material losses, quarrels and troubles. It could also be financial difficulties or disagreements with colleagues. It is better to bypass the find, then the negative omen will not work.
Finding a home
Finding a knife in your house or apartment does not bode well. A sharp object thrown to a person promises misfortune; it could be used in various occult rituals of black magic.
If the found knife was not left by you or the residents of the house, then you should pay attention to the condition of the item and its location. The object is sharp and slightly rusty - a symbol of illness and depression. There are inscriptions or scratches on it - a sign of imminent suffering and death.
The knife as a lining for applying damage is placed:
- in the cabinet;
- behind the battery;
- under the carpet;
- in the closet;
- under the bed;
- near the front door.
In these cases, it is specially made to bring suffering, failure, misfortune, and career problems to the residents of the house. In case of damage, the health of all family members sharply worsens. And it should be removed from the house immediately. A thrown object affects your health, provokes loss of strength and mood swings.
Protection from negativity
To avoid negative consequences, you should not lift the unit with your bare hands and walk around it. Whatever it is, it can store uncontrollable negative energy, an evil eye or a curse. If an item has been damaged, it must not be brought into the living space.
If you like the find and want to take it home, then it’s worth performing some rituals. To rid her of negative energy. There are several rules for conducting a ritual to eliminate the effect of a negative omen:
- You need to calm down, panic entails troubles coming from the knife.
- Using a scarf or other dense fabric, you can lift the knife and leave a coin in its place. If it was in the house, it needs to be taken outside.
- Pour holy water over the find, light church candles and read a prayer.
- Hold the knife in a container with salt.
If the knife is not needed, it must be buried away from the house, along with the scarf. The rooms in the house should be cleaned, light church candles in them and walk with them in the corners, reading the Lord's Prayer. You can carry out general cleaning; it is important to wash all mirror surfaces.
Location
Depending on where the knife was found, the interpretation of the sign will be different. Let's consider each case in more detail.
Outside the home
Finding a knife on the street, in the forest, near a river, or in someone else’s premises is a sign of trouble. Such a find promises disagreements, quarrels, scandals and swearing. Problems in financial matters and at work are also possible. To protect yourself, you need to walk around the find without touching it.
In the house
Finding a knife on the street or in the forest is not so bad, but what to do if such a find appears at home in a closet, under a nightstand, under a rug or under a bed? It’s worth thinking carefully about whether there are envious people or ill-wishers who want to do harm. Even if such people were not found from the entire list of acquaintances, most likely someone new appeared, about whom nothing is known yet.
Often such an item is used by magicians and sorcerers as a lining to cause damage. Only a person with strong spirit and faith who does not believe in the action of black forces can resist this. Faith is his own protection from evil. A suspicious person cannot fight this, so in this case, suspiciousness and self-doubt are a kind of fuel for spoilers and haters.
What to do with a knife found at home? To prevent a negative prediction from coming true, you need to take any fabric or scarf, carefully wrap the find without touching it with your bare hands, and take it away from the house. The item found earlier should be buried deeper in a vacant lot and returned home without looking back. You should light a church candle and go around all the corners in the house with it.
What does a discovery in the form of a knife warn about?
In the traditions of all nations, finding a knife means receiving a warning about danger. This could be an attack, bodily harm, a quarrel, separation, or ruin.
Our Slavic ancestors believed that finding a knife that lies as if cutting the path of the finder with its edge would lead to death. If the knife blade is rusty, get ready to part with the person you love. If it is broken, it means that there will be a dark streak in life associated with unexpected obstacles that will disrupt all plans.
But losing a knife yourself is a good omen. Losing a knife symbolizes getting rid of a major trouble or problem that could not be solved. Sometimes fate takes danger away from you in this way.
If you are unlucky and you accidentally stumble upon an ownerless knife, do not panic and, especially, do not study the find, do not pick it up, do not pick it up. Just avoid it.
Knives tend to absorb the energy of their owners and therefore have powerful power. By appropriating such a find for yourself, you take away the fate of its owner, first of all, his failures, sins and bad thoughts, and therefore responsibility for them. This can manifest itself not only in troubles, but also in poor health, neuroses, depression and changes in personal qualities.
Any superstition only works if you believe in it and experience emotions about it - fear, anxiety, even horror. Don't focus on bad feelings, rather pay attention to your safety. Signs often give reason to think about whether you are doing everything correctly, in good conscience? The misfortunes that happen to us are not without reason. They are always based on our grievances, fears or bad intentions. If you find a knife, maybe it makes sense to reconsider your behavior and be kinder, calmer or more careful?
There are a lot of signs associated with a knife. The most harmless of them - a knife falling on the floor warns of an unexpected male guest. Other signs, as a rule, do not bode well.
Be careful and handle knives with care. Keep them away from children and do not leave them on the table. Do not give or accept knives as gifts. If it is inconvenient to refuse a gift, be sure to pay the donor at least a few coins.
Do not store broken knives, but if only the tip of the blade is broken, on the contrary, sharpen it. This kind of breakdown is an exception. It means that you were somehow lucky enough to get rid of negative energy.
Findings are never accidental. Most often they warn of unexpected turns, so you should pay close attention to such things and consider them as signs from above. It is believed that the sign of “finding a knife” is one of the unfavorable ones, but he who is forewarned is forearmed. Do not pick up the find from the floor, and if you do accidentally do this, avoid potentially dangerous situations and you will be able to avoid consequences.
There are different signs: good, bad and neutral. And finding a knife is not good. The reason lies in the object itself, which brings pain and evil, containing some negative energy. It may carry the energy of the previous owner or the damage inherent in it. By choosing such an item, a person takes it all upon himself.
It is believed that if this knife caused harm to health or took someone’s life, then this will pass on to its new owner. He may be tormented by nightmares and groundless remorse. Also, this find can cause discord in the family, constant scandals and a series of unpleasant events in life.
Of course, different nations have their own views on such finds. For example, in European culture there are the following signs:
- A knife with rust - to separation, parting with a loved one.
- A sharp, well-sharpened knife means worries in the future and life’s difficulties.
- A sharp knife with a broken end means dreams will not come true, plans will not come true.
- Finding a knife on the street means material losses, quarrels or trouble.
Item condition
It is important not only the location of the knife, but also the condition in which it was found:
- the sign of finding a knife with an old blade and covered with rust promises a person grief, melancholy, sadness and tears due to parting with a loved one;
- if you managed to pick up a new knife with a sharp blade, you need to be careful: the sign promises new life trials;
- an object with a broken blade or handle is a sign that some plans will not be realized.
Sometimes it is very difficult to part with a knife found on the street, especially if it is an old and very valuable thing. What to do with the found item? You can leave such a thing, but in return you need to throw a coin in the place where the find was located. It will be like a kind of buyout or deal. In this way, the found object is considered cleared of all negativity and the past, and a new life begins for it.
How to get rid of harm
If you like the knife you find and want to keep it, then you should perform some ceremonies or rituals with it. This will allow him to be cleansed of the negative energy that he stores within himself. Of course, someone will say that they do not believe in objects and the found knife cannot harm them.
But even in this case, cleaning the item will be the right step. The process is simple, it won’t take much time, but it will give you confidence that everything will be fine in the future.
Whether to believe it or not is everyone's business. But it is still necessary to exercise some caution with such things.
Modern life is very dynamic. Sometimes there is no time to dwell on some coincidences or signs. However, if you know the signs and apply them correctly, you can save yourself from many minor and major troubles.
Signs for keys
We are surrounded by many keys: from a house, a car, a garage, a safe, a mailbox, a favorite secret cabinet and much more. Often opening or closing something with a key, you do not think that the key is a strong mystical sign. It is associated with wealth, with the subtle world, with various love rituals and traditions. This is why a little knowledge about the signs associated with keys is necessary to take into account in your life.
Keys, being a powerful talisman, require a serious and attentive attitude. Each key should know its permanent place in the house. And when taking it with you, you need to give it a separate pocket in your bag.
If your keys fall from your hands or from the table, then such a sign means an inevitable quarrel with loved ones. Try to prevent a disagreement. Knock your keys on the table and think carefully about whether you always behave correctly with your loved ones. Such actions and reflections will definitely help you escape the conflict.
It is a bad omen to break the key. This could mean material loss or even theft. Try to be attentive to your belongings, take precautions and carefully lock the doors before leaving.
Keeping your keys on the table is always a bad sign. Mystically, keys are associated with money. If you are used to keeping your keys on the table, you can inevitably lose all your savings and end up simply poor. Keys should always be kept in a certain place, on a shelf, on a hook, in a key holder. If you often cannot find your keys in the house, then this habit should be urgently changed and your keys should be assigned a specific place.
For married women there is such a sign associated with keys. When you come home, quietly, without making a sound, hang up your keys. This will save your home from unnecessary groundless quarrels.
Losing a key usually results in a lot of trouble and inconvenience. But as an omen, losing the key is a good omen. It means that soon you will say goodbye to a streak of failures, to old insoluble problems, and maybe to illnesses. A new life with new prospects opens up ahead.
With the keys found, everything is not so clear. In general, finding the key is to save yourself from problems. If you find a new key, this may mean immediate financial help or getting rid of financial problems. But you should not pick up such a key, especially if it is lying at an intersection or on the road.
If you are lucky enough to find an old or very beautiful key, then good changes will await you ahead. Such a key can be picked up, brought home, washed under running water and ignited with a church candle. If after all these rituals you put the key under your pillow at night and ask a higher power for help, then perhaps at night you will receive a solution and a hint for further actions.
Signs associated with the bracelet
Women have always loved bracelets. And now the bracelet is a popular and fashionable decoration. There are some signs associated with it that can indicate to a woman or girl her future destiny. And you should know these signs.
For example, if the bracelet on your hand is cracked or broken, this can lead to quarrels and conflicts at home and at work.
The bracelet as a gift is good in all respects. If it was given by relatives, then a good and trusting relationship can subsequently develop with them. If a gift in the form of a bracelet was given by work colleagues, then your further cooperation will be friendly and pleasant. An appropriate gift presented by a beloved man will mean a transition to a new level in the relationship and its further strengthening.
Finding a bracelet for a woman is a bad omen. It means that a woman will soon be disappointed in her beloved man and this can lead to a break in the relationship. You should not pick up the find, pass by.
But if a girl has lost her bracelet, then she should not despair. On the contrary, such a loss comes with a quick marriage, and it will be long and happy.
If you had a dream, and in it you are wearing a bracelet given to you by your loved one, then such a sign means an early, but extremely successful marriage.
Losing a bracelet in a dream, as opposed to everyday life, means that you will soon be in trouble. If you find a bracelet in a dream, then an increase in property will soon await you; this is a good omen.
