Common superstitions

1. Why can't you pass under the "L" pillars?
   
   
   
   They say that ignoring this prohibition entails a whole lot of various troubles. From minor failures to serious illnesses.
   
   
   
   
   
   If you resort to sacred geometry, you can learn that the triangle created inside this structure dissipates energy, distributing it between the corners. Sharp corners are responsible for the accumulation of energy in this triangle.
   
   In other words, it is believed that a person passing through this triangle will be subject to a kind of blackout, which will weaken his body and make him more vulnerable to all kinds of misfortunes.
   
   
   
   
   
   The rational side of the question is that even a very strong structure at any time can collapse under the influence of various external factors.
   
   
2. Why carry a rabbit leg with you?
   
   
   
   The rumor that with the help of such a talisman as a rabbit leg, you can lure luck to your side, came from the ancient Celts.
   
   Rabbits are the only animals born with open eyes. Because of this, ancient peoples believed that these little animals were endowed with secret knowledge and wisdom.
   
   
   
   
   
   By the way, the Celts believed that not only the foot, but also the rabbit eye can serve as a kind of talisman, bringing health and fertility to the house of its owner.
   
   However, to date, there is no real evidence of the effectiveness of such an amulet.
   
   
3. What happens if you accidentally spill salt?
   
   
   
   In Russia, salt was considered a symbol of eternity. In this regard, there was a tradition to greet guests with bread and salt. And to wake her up, accordingly, was considered a bad sign.
   
   In those days, salt was quite expensive. Therefore, waking her up was an impermissible luxury and a good reason for a quarrel.
   
   
   
   
   
   Over time, salt has become one of the most affordable products. However, the superstition associated with it is firmly imprinted in the people's memory.
