Why you shouldn't make rags from old clothes: what the sign warns about

Perhaps the largest number of folk signs relate to old clothes. It has long been said that things can accumulate the energy of their owners, in particular, transmit disease and negativity.

Practical people often make rags for their homes out of old clothes, which is a very economical and appropriate habit. Superstitious people will only shake their heads in disapproval: a rag made from used clothes is also a bad omen. Why you shouldn't make rags out of old clothes and what the omen warns about - read the OBOZREVATEL article.

People do not recommend giving things a "second life" by using them as rags. There is a version that this can have a bad effect on the owner of the clothes.

Our great-grandmothers believed that if you let someone's clothes go to rags, you could bring trouble to the house. The interpretation of the sign is related to the property of things to accumulate energy. That is, the collection of dirt and dust by someone's clothes will supposedly "worsen the aura" of the person who used to wear these things. This is especially true for children's clothes. If a child has outgrown their clothes, they should not be torn into rags. It is said that this will attract poverty in the child's future life.

Therefore, it is advised to either donate used items in good condition to charity or simply get rid of them.

It is worth noting that there is an old belief that some things should not be thrown away. This, for example, applies to bags and wallets. Throwing a wallet in the trash can bring hardship and lack of money. It is also not advisable to throw away underwear and children's clothes. What to do with used clothes - read the article.
