Why you shouldn't keep empty jars at home: a superstition that few know

The importance of tableware in everyday life is hard to overestimate. That's why people treat it with such awe that they have surrounded it with many superstitions. In particular, these superstitions are related to empty containers. People pay special attention to jars.

OBOZREVATEL inquired about the signs associated with jars. In particular, we sought an explanation of why empty containers should not be kept at home.

According to belief, any empty dish can attract problems with wealth, including jars, especially if they are unwashed and gathering dust at home.

It's best to place glass containers in some kind of storage space, such as a pantry, basement, or garage. If this is not possible, you should at least put something in each jar at home - a handful of cereal, a few bay leaves, a coin. The container should be covered with something - a lid or something else, or turned upside down. This will also protect the home.

If you need to return the jar to the owner, you should also put some small items in it - cookies, candy, etc. Then it will not provoke trouble for that person.

After the jar is empty, it should not be left on the table. This provokes not only problems with money but also debts.

Cracked jars are harbingers of quarrels and scandals in the family. The more of this junk you have at home, the bigger the problems will be. That's why you should get rid of it first.

But if a whole jar is broken, it is, on the contrary, a good sign. It portends successful purchases for the household, and if it happens on a Sunday, it means unexpected income. If the jar has fallen but remained intact, it is a sign of good news or pleasant guests.

Sometimes jars come in handy during a quarrel. The fragments of an object broken in this way should be thrown away immediately. They have absorbed all the negative energy, and you shouldn't delay its elimination.

If there is some kind of creature in the jar, this also has its own meaning. For example, a butterfly portends good luck. And a spider, especially if it has spun a web, indicates an enemy in the environment.
