Why you should not lend your shoes and hats: 3 points of view

Many have heard more than once that you should never lend your hat or shoes to a stranger, as this can lead to illness, failure and other negative consequences. What explains this, and what other signs are associated with the wearing of other people's hats and shoes?

Why can't you lend a hat or shoes to another person?

In order to get a full answer, you should consider this question from three points of view:

  • In terms of accept
  • In terms of energy
  • In terms of personal hygiene

Signs

From time immemorial, on the territory of our country, wearing someone else's hat was not considered a good sign, because it was believed that in this way a person takes over all the illnesses, unpleasant thoughts and problems of the person whose hat he put on. It was considered a particularly bad sign to wear a hat taken from a deceased person.

Important! Many, trying on a hat in a store, do not even think about how many people wore it before, and how many such trying on the product there were problems and illnesses of strangers.

In order to “remove” these diseases, it was previously customary to wash the hat after purchase in three waters (in water with powder, in running water and with the addition of holy water).

According to ancient superstitions, wearing shoes from someone else's legs makes your feet sweaty. If a person accidentally donned his own shoes or shoes, this could predict a pleasant surprise for him in the near future. During the wedding ceremonies, the newlyweds were thrown after a pair of well-worn, old shoes: it was believed that this would bring good luck to the marriage. Ragged and old shoes also threw themselves in the wake of a man who had a long, exhausting journey.

Life energy

It is worth noting that when a person gives his shoes or clothes into the wrong hands, all given things can be used against him as an intermediary object to inspect damage or the evil eye, which will deprive the giving life energy and well-being in business. If you don’t give, but, on the contrary, accept someone else’s shoes or hat as a gift, then you should pay attention to the person who gives these things. If he is happy, cheerful and lucky in life - it is worth boldly accepting the offerings, but if he is always sad and unhappy - then his failures and negative perception of the world around him can also come to you.

Reference! Esotericists and psychics assure that someone else’s thing can be cleaned of the energy of the previous owner, and “connected” to the energy of the new owner by conducting a special ritual. It is difficult to judge the reliability of this information, but many claim that after this someone else's thing can be worn without fear.

Hygiene

Even if a person trying on other people's hats and shoes is a terrible skeptic and does not believe in signs or in the existence of positive and negative life energy, you can convince him not to try on other people's things with the help of arguments in favor of banal personal hygiene. Wearing someone else’s shoes, for example, can lead to infection with fungal diseases, which are very widespread in our country. Approximately the same thing applies to caps - harmful microorganisms, skin diseases and even lice can “move” onto the head of the person trying on even after one fitting.

In order to safely wear other people's shoes or hats, it is recommended that they be thoroughly cleaned and washed with a good washing powder. After the items are washed, they are thoroughly rinsed and allowed to dry in a dry, warm place. It should be remembered that the observance of elementary rules of personal hygiene when wearing someone else's shoes and clothing elements is everyone's responsibility.
