In the old days, a spoon was considered a magical item. And there were many beliefs associated with it. Each person had his own spoon and personified its owner. To distinguish their cutlery from someone else's, they were marked in a certain way. Using someone else's is strictly forbidden. The husband had a large scoop, the wife had a small one. It showed leadership in the family.
Silver spoons were considered amulets that protected the family from black magic.
A number of different beliefs explain the fall of cutlery. If the spoon fell to the floor - this is the arrival of the guest. In this superstition, the sex, and even the age, of the intended visitor is accurately predicted.
- If the teapot fell spoon, it was believed that a child or a young, unmarried girl will come. This was perceived by the ancestors kindly, which cannot be said about the next point.
- If the scoop is a dining room, its fall means the arrival of an adult lady. And not necessarily friendly. It is possible that she came with negative intentions. Fortunately, this too can be predicted.
- A more alarming sign if the spoon fell full. This means that the visitor will ask for money. The material from which the device is made is important in this case. Plastic and wood are not very big expenses. But metals, especially silver, predict large sums.
- If the cutlery was spinning in the air while it was falling, the woman who came will ask for advice.
On which side the instrument could fall, there were also signs. A spoon falls to the bottom - the guest is friendly, upside down - set to quarrel.
A scoop deliberately thrown to the floor will not lead to anything good. This also hints at financial problems, but not at home, but outside of it.
It plays an important role and how the spoon lies after it has fallen. The pen points to the door - the visit will be short-lived. And if - on the table, get ready, the visitor will stay for a long time.
Not always, if a spoon has fallen, the omen pleases. And how to avoid the negative part of the omens? The easiest way is not to let her fall. If this has already happened, you can not raise the device until the end of dinner. Another option is to knock it on the edge of the table. Our ancestors believed that these actions would prevent the omen from coming true.
About a teaspoon in a cup
Why can't you drink tea with a spoon? Signs on this topic also have a bunch of meanings.
- One of the most sinister interpretations is that demons can move into a person at the base of a spoon. A person will not be able to control his behavior, and his life will become terrible.
- It is dangerous for health to drink tea with a spoon. This sign is quite practical. You can stumble on the base of the spoon and injure yourself.
- Another belief is related to material issues. Leaving a tea device in a mug, it can be accidentally turned over. And this was considered in the old days as disrespect for the benefits that the gods send to people.
- There is also a similar sign about unmarried girls. If you drink tea with a spoon, you won’t be able to get married soon. Here, too, a simple explanation - a dismissive and absent-minded girl did not attract applicants for marriage too much.
According to any interpretation, the sign “spoon in a mug” is negative. And it will be more useful to remove it even for those who do not believe in predictions.
Other superstitions
There are also signs about a broken spoon. The spoon broke - there will be failures in earnings.
Spoons were not to be borrowed. Having received it back, the owner risked getting sick. There is nothing particularly mystical about this phenomenon, if you think about it, it is not very hygienic.
Two spoons in one plate - the wedding is just around the corner. - this omen concerned not only unmarried / unmarried people. Married people were suspected of infidelity or a future change of partner.
In the old days, there were a lot of beliefs about cutlery. At the present time, many of them have long been erased from the memory of the people. But once every sign about spoons was considered incredibly important. People followed closely any event and noticed the most incredible details. Size, material, tablespoon or teaspoon - all signs were taken into account.
There are pros and cons to the fact that people have forgotten this. It is good that now the approach to life for many has become more conscious. Now a person does not blame the spoon in the mug and other signs for his failures. But on the other hand, there is a great deal of truth in forgotten beliefs. Our ancestors, as best they could, conveyed information about: what is dangerous, contrary to hygiene standards, harm relationships, and many other conclusions. Even if over time it was distorted beyond recognition, but the reasonable essence was in almost every superstition.
Looking for a spoon to stir the sugar in your tea again? Recently bought, and again somewhere gone. What an attack! Who is kidnapping them? The most unpleasant thing in this situation is not lost. And the anxiety that it can cause. In obsessive thoughts, in fears of brownies and poltergeists. Although there are people who like to show off the otherworldly tenants in the apartment, as if it were a pet. But most of us are calmer when everything is clear and stable. So where do the teaspoons go? Read the stories of eyewitnesses, much will become clear.
In our time of economic crisis and the availability of any information, many people use household items for occult and magical practices. So there is a superstition that teaspoons, which are used to stir sugar and eat cakes, are associated with positive energy, home comfort, happiness and celebration. Therefore, stealing a spoon, you thereby, as it were, take away a particle of the good and positive of its owners.
“They can be stolen as to replenish the collection (there are such connoisseurs and collectors of everyday small things). And in order to take away luck and money from the family from where they took the spoon. Such, alas and ah, is a fairly common occult action. I have a friend, so if a big feast is planned, she always buys inexpensive cutlery in Auchan. Don’t steal, they are not yet “accustomed to the family”, so it’s not scary to lose them.”
Evil jokes of colleagues and relatives
The situations are different. Mysticism is a rare phenomenon, but stupid jokes and the desire to annoy you as the cause of strange disappearances are much more common. Be sensible in a good way and think about who could take the spoon, who could drop it, who could play a joke.
“I know the history. Colleagues decided to play a joke on the guy at work. Teaspoons were stolen from him all the time. And in correspondence with him by mail, the phrase “buy spoons” was inserted into the text of the letter in white type (invisible to him). Google reads your letters, and based on the letters, it gives out suitable advertising banners. The machine does not care that the font is white, it still sees it. And this guy kept advertising banners with offers to buy spoons all the time, and the spoons disappeared all the time. The boy thought that the cuckoo had gone.”
“My mother-in-law thinks everything about the brownie, the spoons disappear. I'm afraid to reveal the truth to her: I've already dropped 5 pieces per stove. Unintentionally)) "
Household reasons for the disappearance of dishes. Simple riddles.
I myself am a mother of many children and I know how children love everything shiny and beautiful. Many times I discovered hiding places with candy wrappers, household small things. If you have children, the easiest solution is to watch them.
“We carry a small one. Hid all the teaspoons somewhere. Most importantly, we can't find it. All climbed, well, no, and that's it. And then suddenly he comes out, so proud, and a spoon in his hand.
“My daughter helped her mother clean the dishes after the feast, and threw out teaspoons, like NONFORM. Why do we need small spoons if there are so many large ones in the house :))) "
“My friend also lost spoons from the house, until one of them fell on her head when she approached the entrance. It turned out that the two-year-old daughter threw them out the window. They flew beautifully."
They were surprised until they saw how someone was poking forks in a cupboard! An investigative experiment was immediately carried out, and at the same time a search, during which they found: forks, spoons, nipples, cars, cubes, string, candy wrappers, cards with letters, a sock. We have this someone so many hamster minks all over the apartment! You don’t have time to clean one up, he winds up another one, puts my hooks and beads with buttons in there.
The reason for the loss of spoons is the most banal - absent-mindedness. But why and how people throw away the right things without noticing it, you can think about it. Banal fatigue, lack of sleep, hassle and stress make us inattentive. You smoke, sit in a stuffy office for days, or are busy with small children all day long without getting enough sleep for years. The nervous system begins to work worse, concentration of attention is disturbed. Inattention may be associated with anxiety, depression, vascular disorders. This is really worth attention. Spoons disappear - pay attention to yourself, your health, mental and physical.
“I lost my teaspoons. Simply heaps. Didn't have time to buy. Cursed at the brownie. She swore until her husband pulled out a plastic cup from under the yogurt, along with a spoon, from the garbage can. It turned out that I was open myself, throwing out spoons.
“All of our teaspoons disappeared once. It turned out that children with yogurt boxes were thrown out. I began to follow, they still disappear, but much less often.
“A few years ago we moved into a new apartment. About six months later, spoons began to disappear. The apartment is after repair, there are no gaps, my husband and I lived together. All the corners are covered, there are no spoons anywhere! Pieces 3 went missing in about a month. She told me at work, they advised me to hang an icon. They hung it up, the spoons stopped disappearing.
For lovers of mysticism, the story ends here. I confess in a whisper to the Materialists: at about the time when they hung the icon, I once noticed behind me that I was throwing away a box of yogurt, but the spoon remained in it. It was then that it dawned on me who was poking the spoons.
“But recently I climbed into the upper kitchen cabinet, where you can climb only by standing on a chair. I go there at least once every 5 years. There are hefty basins and the same pots. And between the basins, I saw a lonely silver spoon, which had all disappeared from us a long time ago. So I don’t know, is it true that the brownie is naughty, or five years ago I climbed there with a spoon in my mouth and left it there.
There are a lot of such stories, it happens that people have been racking their brains for years about where the thing went. But in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, tired and swamped with problems, we can easily just throw it away and not notice. The site has a lot of stories of loss due to inattention, you can read. This is indeed a common occurrence.
“A long time ago, a child’s hat went missing. How I killed myself! The hat was cool, you can't buy one like that. Yes, and then we lived, like everyone else, not rich, the cap was also dimensionless, to wear it, but to wear it. She searched everything, but in vain, the hat evaporated. A few years after she went missing, it dawned on me where she had gone. Children grow up quickly, the things we grew up with didn’t stay at home, there’s nowhere to store them, and the time of the 90s was the time of the cycle of things in nature. What was better passed on through acquaintances, what was worse was thrown out. Here is one little coat and carried to the container. And the hat was in the sleeve of this coat, but I didn’t notice. Eh, and after all, it would be fine to give it to someone, and so I threw it away, overlooking it.
Disappearance of spoons and household poltergeist
This also happens. Such mysterious disappearances have their own logic that can be felt. Usually it is hidden, hidden, a secret that is not talked about or even guessed. Maybe cheating husband or wife. There may be a forgotten abortion or an illegitimate child. Or injustice towards loved ones, someone forgotten, etc. Look for lost spoons, think, discuss, and thus give an outlet for energy. These speakers can be seen, there are quite simple ways. Usually this is the psychological meaning of mysterious incidents.
“When moving, having moved the heavy sofa, I found whole deposits of spoons. How did they get there? Couldn't all the guests have stuffed spoons under the furniture without exception?
“I lived with my husband in a rented apartment. The apartment, in principle, is in a new house, but it definitely had a brownie. We felt and heard it. Many times I heard the run of small legs from the room to the kitchen, I often dreamed. In the first nights, he even strangled her husband. Basically, he didn't do anything bad to us. Only a few teaspoons disappeared without a trace. When they moved to a new apartment, they were never found.”
“I don’t know if I believe in brownies or not. But we've been missing teaspoons for a few years now, and I don't think guests take them away. From the very beginning there was a set of 6 cupronickel spoons plus 4 pieces of different ones. They began to disappear, they searched everything - no. When there were only 2 left of the set, it became not funny at all. My husband and I began to carefully put them in their place and double-check a hundred times whether there was a forgotten spoon in an empty jar of yogurt. After some time, all 10 pieces disappeared, I put in new, cheap ones, 6 pieces. They also began to disappear. Then my mother gave me a set of 6 cupronickel. Treated like gold. There are 3 left. I can’t blame the child, because it started long before he learned to move independently in space.
How to return the lost
Something like this happened to me fifteen years ago. Things began to disappear at home. Little things, such as a sock, a bra, a hairpin, a comb, spoons. So, when I told about this at work, one woman advised me to pour milk in a saucer and put it under the bath in the evening and say: “Like, brownie, drink some milk and give things away.” I did not believe in all this, but I did it out of curiosity. What do you think? Things are starting to come back! Of course, I'm a skeptic, but who knows...
Almost ten times a day we hold a spoon in our hands, not even realizing that in the old days this simple object was considered special - magical.
Ordinary cutlery personified a specific family member - living or dead. Therefore, everyone in the house had their own “tool”, and the rest of the children and household members were strictly forbidden to use it. To avoid confusion, the spoons were specially marked. And what other legends surrounded scoops?
The head of the family should have a larger spoon than the wife. Otherwise, not a man, but a woman will rule in the house.
According to the laws of Domostroy, a man was assigned a dominant role in the house. Not the slightest hint was allowed that, with a living spouse, the wife could take the reins of government into her own hands. And so that the weaker sex knew its place and remembered it day and night, the men were not lazy to cut their own spoons - bigger and deeper.
What to say to that? Today, when spoons are of the same size and shape, everything has changed a lot - often the whole house rests on women. So, dear men, draw conclusions: if you want to be a real, and not an imaginary head of the family, our advice to you is to get a big spoon.
If by chance there are two spoons in one plate, the wedding is just around the corner.
A sign that is widespread everywhere, in our time, however, is pretty much forgotten. But what about the wedding, you ask. Yes, because spoons, as we have already said, represent different people. This means that as soon as the scoops find themselves side by side, in the same way, “two solitudes” will soon be together.
It is no coincidence that in the old days in Wales, the guys carved a pair of beautiful spoons from wood, which were called love ones, and gave them to the girls. Miss looked at this present as a marriage proposal. By the way, if two spoons, through an oversight, ended up in the plate of a married lady, no one doubted that the young woman would have to go down the aisle twice. Accordingly, a couple of spoons in a married man's plate also hinted at remarriage.
When lending a spoon to neighbors, you should not take it back, otherwise you will bring various troubles to the house with it.
It turns out that as soon as this cutlery gets into someone else's house, you can forget about it forever: it immediately becomes the property of another family. Why? Since someone used your spoon, it was "charged" not only with the energy of this person, but also with the energy of his house.
Therefore, she received a very strong - double - charge. And no matter what manipulations you then do with your property, all in vain, the scoop has become alien to you.
You can not wash the spoons immediately after dinner - there will be no luck.
Strange omen, isn't it? But this is only at first glance. The fact is that spoons, like people, "after a delicious dinner according to the laws of Archimedes" are supposed to take a break. From the same series and another sign.
Washed spoons should not be wiped, but hung on a shelf specially adapted for this, where water should drain from them. Anyone who ignores this rule runs the risk of running into big trouble.
It turns out that our ancestors believed that by wiping scoops, you can send damage or the evil eye on a person in no time. In order to avoid such a misfortune, they allowed the spoons to dry on their own. And only such a “tool” can be eaten without fear of witchcraft or the evil eye.
You can’t knock a spoon on a table, wash plates or other utensils, otherwise a grand scandal will break out in the house soon.
As we already know, spoons represent different members of the family. Well, since the spoons are rattling, it means that soon the guns will “rattle” in the house - a conflict will break out. By the way, the harder they beat with spoons, the more bitter the quarrel will be. In this case, the strife will happen before the spoons and the rest of the dishes have time to put in place.
Therefore, in the old days, it was only necessary for some young fool to hit the table with a spoon, the punishment was not long in coming - the stern father immediately beat the violator of home peace with his spoon on the forehead.
An extra spoon on the table for lunch or dinner for a guest.
Everything is very simple: by putting an extra object on the stop, you seem to be inviting guests to the house. After all, a spoon cannot lie idle during a meal!
The spoon has fallen - wait for the visitors.
It is well known: something falls out of hand - for the imminent arrival of guests, and a spoon is no exception.
But they looked at this embarrassment a little differently: dropping a spoon, in some cases they were waiting for the visit of a child, in others - a fool. True, there was a different opinion in the center: a fallen foot spoon here predicted an imminent quarrel in the family.
Having finished eating, the spoon should be thoroughly licked - otherwise the bride or groom will be pockmarked.
In the old days, people's attitude to food was special, reverent, because each piece is taken literally with sweat and blood. Here, no one has ever scattered, not only in a piece - even the smallest bread crumb! It was considered a great sin to leave food behind on a plate. And for intimidation, one must think, signs similar to the above were invented.
Blowing into an empty spoon is a sin; you can bring ailments upon yourself.
The spoon is for eating only. The one who blows into it is engaged in pampering, therefore, is sitting idle. And if you play the fool, then you deserve the legal punishment in the form of an illness. Get what you deserve!
You can’t put a spoon with the concave side down - you will die with your mouth and eyes open.
Another horror story. Let it be known to you that in former times the rules of etiquette existed not only in the highest circles of society - the peasants also had their own unwritten laws. One of them said: put the spoon with the concave side up - and that's it! Why? If suddenly food remains in the spoon after dinner due to an oversight - pieces of porridge, the remains of cabbage soup, hodgepodge, etc., then thanks to this position of the spoon, the leftovers will not fall on the table.
Here, it turns out, and all the wisdom.
If a child for the first time took up a spoon with his right hand - luck will accompany him all his life, with his left - he will grow up as a loser.
An old English proverb. In the most obvious way, it shows us that the inhabitants of foggy Albion, like our ancestors, firmly believed that the right side is the focus of good forces, and the left is at the mercy of the devil.
If the baby was not presented with spoons for christening, he will spend his whole life in poverty.
Another sign comes from the UK. And it arose thanks to a long tradition: in the United Kingdom, it is customary for godparents to give spoons to their godchildren. Usually these are the so-called "apostolic spoons", that is, spoons on the handles of which the images of the apostles were carved or engraved.
Wealthy godparents usually presented the little ones with twelve spoons, one of which was silver. (Hence, by the way, came the well-known English proverb: born with a silver spoon in his mouth.) Less wealthy citizens gave fewer spoons, and the poorest - a single one of plain metal.
By the way, Shakespeare's Cranmer from the play "Henry VIII" hints at this custom, arguing that he is not fit to be the godfathers of the royal daughter. To which the king, without a shadow of embarrassment, answers him: Well, well, my lord, on a spoonful of spending a little».
Each of us at least once in his life found something on the street. Our ancestors believed that every discovery has its own meaning. If you find something, then be sure - this is a sign of Fate. But how to interpret it? 10 signs about the finds will help us with this.
Sign - find the ring
The meaning of this sign about the ring is ambiguous. For young girls, she portends an early marriage, and promises misfortune to everyone else. However, the negative side of this sign should not be taken literally either. If you pick up the ring from the ground, and even take it for yourself, then a bad omen will come true. The fact is that rings, especially silver and gold ones, retain information about their past owner. The energy of the former owner of this jewelry can greatly harm you. In addition, by picking up this find, you can become a victim of corruption. According to popular belief, negative energy or illness can be easily transmitted through the ring.
Sign - find the key
Finding a key is a sign of happiness. This find means that soon new opportunities will open up before you that will lead you to success. If you have found the key, then be sure that all your desires will come true very soon.
Sign - find money
Finding money is a bad omen. According to popular wisdom, the found money should never be raised, as this will attract misfortune and illness. If you still picked up this find, then you need to either give it to the needy, or spend it on a good cause. Do not carry money home - you can harm yourself and your loved ones.
There is an opinion that a person finds money when he needs it badly. When the amount found is large enough, it just asks for a pocket. In this case, you must remember that this money is given to you for a reason. Your need for them will be satisfied, but later you will have to pay for such a gift of Fate. And no one knows what the payback will be.
Sign - find a cross
The meaning of this sign is very ambiguous. Some say that those who find a cross will carry someone else's cross in life (they will take on all the sins of the former owner of this thing). Others argue that such a find promises happiness and God's favor.
Sign - find the clock
There are a lot of signs about watches. If you found a clock, then this means that you are missing something in your life. Most likely, you forgot about something. It may also indicate that you are not managing your own life correctly. In any case, you need to reconsider your views on many things.
Sign - find gloves
Finding gloves is a good omen. If they are leather, then money luck awaits you. If you found one glove, then a fateful meeting awaits you in the future.
Sign - find a knife
This sign warns of danger. If you find a knife, then expect betrayal, scandal, attack or fight. In no case do not pick up this find from the ground, otherwise the meaning of this bad omen will certainly come true.
Sign - find the icon
If you have found an icon, then before taking it home, you should consecrate it in the church. You cannot know who used to pray in front of this icon. Suddenly, her past owner prayed for mortal sins? If so, then you will take his misdeeds on your shoulders and pay for them.
Sign - find an earring
According to this popular belief, earrings are lost when a lot of negative energy is concentrated in their owner. If you find an earring, remember: in no case should you pick it up, as the negative of its previous owner will pass on to you.
Sign - find a pin
Do not pick up someone else's pin. Many use this thing as a weapon against damage and the evil eye, so it can contain a large amount of negative energy and even dark power.
We hope that these 10 signs will help you deal with your finds and understand what can be lifted from the ground and what is absolutely impossible. We wish you good luck and do not forget to press the buttons and

There is a popular belief that a pimple that suddenly appears on the nose, lip or forehead promises some important ...
There are many household signs that are used in everyday life by many people.
These beliefs helped our ancestors, and now they help us: to find out what lies ahead. Prevent unwanted events, or, conversely, attract good luck.
A simple household sign can sometimes help to find out something important and secret, but no one will refuse this! Most of these beliefs "work", according to people - even skeptics are convinced of this. It is worth making sure by your own example, and then decide whether to believe it or not!
With spoons and forks, our everyday life is directly connected. These are the items that unite all people - cutlery is used by the poor and the rich, absolutely all people hold a spoon or fork in their hands every day during breakfast, lunch and dinner.
It is no wonder that devices have their own signs, which were well known to people in the old days, and have come down to our days without changes. Why, if you believe in them, does a fork, spoon or knife fall from the table?
Wait for the guests!
1. If a large tablespoon fell on the floor, then the sign says that an adult woman is heading to your house. She is familiar and pleasant to you - a friend, friend or relative. She does not go with bad intentions, and her visit does not portend any troubles.
2. If a small tea or dessert spoon falls, it means that a young, unmarried lady, or a child, is coming to you. This sign also does not make you prepare for anything bad - the visit will not be unpleasant for you.
3. If the spoon, falling to the floor, turned over in flight, then the guest comes to you for advice and will talk about something.
4. And if she didn’t just fall, but something spilled or crumbled, for example, she turned over from a plate, then the guest goes for specific help.
5. If the spoon has fallen to the floor and lies with the concave side up, the woman will ask you for something - maybe she will ask you to lend money, or something else.
6. Why does the fork fall off the table? It is also a sign that a guest will come, namely a woman, but she is unpleasant to you, or harbors some kind of bad intentions. Here the sign says that this woman is a gossip, a liar, or simply treats you unkindly.
7. If the fork falls right out of your hands, it's bad luck.
8. What does the knife fall to? It is easy to guess that this sign portends the arrival of a man in your house.
9. If the knife fell with a point in your direction, an ill-wisher will come, an unpleasant person who does not treat you in the best way. Possible conflict or unpleasant communication.
11. It happens, although rarely, that the knife falls and pierces the edge into the floor. This means the visit of an unfamiliar man.
12. If an extra device is suddenly found on the table - a spoon or fork, this means that someone in the house is very hungry. Feed everyone so that there are no dissatisfied and hungry left! And it is customary not to remove the extra device from the table until the end of the meal.
13. If you want the omen to work and the guest comes to you, carefully lift the fallen device and put it on the table. It is not recommended to wash or wipe it. If the guest is pleasant to you and you do not mind the visit, do it.
14. And if you don’t want to meet anyone, or you know that an unpleasant person is heading towards you, take the fallen object and tap it three times on the edge of the table, saying: “Stay at home!”. This little ritual will save you from uninvited guests, you can be calm.
15. It is important not to swear when the device falls - this way you will anger your defender, and higher powers will be unhappy.
It is up to you to decide whether to believe in such signs, but it is worthwhile to understand that it is not for nothing that people believe and keep these superstitions for many centuries - this already says something. Believe in good omens, do not be afraid of anything and manage your own destiny.
