No housewife in the kitchen can do without dishes. Saucers, plates, mugs and cups - all this is in every kitchen. And it is not surprising that these household items are overgrown with many signs and superstitions. So, what does broken dishes mean? Of course, she fights for happiness. Everyone heard about it. However, not in every situation everything is exactly like this, sometimes it can portend some troubles.
Why are the dishes breaking?
For example, at a wedding, any broken dishes only mean the happiness of the newlyweds. So, if a cup or mug, breaking, shatters into many small pieces, this portends a long and happy life for the young.
There used to be a rather instructive custom in the villages. The young bride, before entering the groom's house, at the threshold had to break clay pot. If the pot broke, then this meant that the girl retained her virginity, but if it didn’t break, it meant that she had not saved herself for her future husband.
In some regions, on the second day of the wedding, guests who came to the celebration began to beat clay pots for the happiness of the newlyweds. In some places, such traditions still remain to this day. During the wedding, the groom, or the groom, along with the bride, must break the plate of food that is presented to him by the guests. This will mean that the newlyweds leave behind all the troubles and hardships.
All of the above helps to conclude that you should not be upset if the dishes break at the wedding. This is a good sign, like some others. But not in all countries. Here, for example, in Scotland, if the bride broke something during the wedding, then this is unfortunately.
AT Everyday life dishes break regularly, and this is normal. But, in the event that the plate is broken at the time of a quarrel, with negative emotions, then this does not bode well. A period of failures and disappointments, lack of money and quarrels with loved ones should be expected. But if any dishes were broken with positive emotions, for example - “for happiness”, then this promises the approach of a “white stripe” in a person’s life, a variety of benefits, good luck and prosperity.

A rather bad omen is the appearance of cracks on the dishes without human intervention. In this case, it is recommended to immediately collect the broken pieces and fragments, and not throw them into the household trash bag, but immediately take them out into the street and throw them into the trash can. Such cracks portend financial losses and other troubles. AT folk traditions cracks on the dishes symbolize the absorption of energy by them, so the appearance of cracks on the dishes is initially a bad omen.
The same applies to glassware, it is better to immediately throw it into an outdoor tank and not leave it in the apartment, this is not good.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the broken glasses. Although, in different regions, opinions on this matter are diametrically opposed. Somewhere it is believed that a broken glass portends good luck, improved business relations and business success. But this interpretation is not correct for all situations. If a woman broke a glass full of water, then she should take a closer look at her missus, most likely, he had a mistress.
Cracked or broken dishes should not be used, even if the damage is not serious, and the dishes are still usable for their intended purpose, even if it is a simple bread box, because there is. If you continue to use such dishes, then it can cause misfortune, make a person's life “cracked”. All fragments must be quickly collected and taken out of the house. Regardless of whether the item crashed by accident, or for good luck.
History will take with dishes
Signs associated with dishes are deeply ancient history. Since the time of clay pots, there have been various rules and regulations on how to handle these household items. For example, if a clay pot broke, it meant that trouble would soon come to the house. Our ancestors associated dishes with prosperity and well-being, which was given by the god of the Sun - Yarilo. And broken dishes showed a disrespectful attitude of a person towards him, with all the ensuing negative consequences. Just like different
At the present time, on the contrary, we say “fortunately”, maybe it is a positive attitude that drives trouble away from a person. But still, it is better not to store broken dishes in the house. This is a well-known and oldest sign associated with broken dishes.
What to do if your favorite mug is cracked? Many people feel sorry for throwing away a little thing dear to their hearts. Magicians and esotericists say - in vain! And justify their ban.
Superstitions about storing broken dishes at home
Although the process of accidentally breaking dishes is considered to bring good luck, it is not recommended to store cracked plates and cups in the house. Esotericists explain this by the fact that the dishes store the energy that we absorb from it along with food or drinks. If the material is cracked, then the energy becomes “defective”. It is believed that such utensils attract all sorts of evil spirits.
A folk sign claims that money, health and happiness flow from your family through a crack in broken dishes. Superstitions in general are often formed due to figurative similarities. Magicians and esotericists confirm this sign, specifying that it is positive energy that is leaking. Why not negative is unknown, but it is emphasized that the well-being of the family will be at risk.
Superstitious people clearly do not share the love of some craftsmen for the restoration of cracked plates.
What feng shui says
In the practice of Feng Shui, cracked, broken and other defective things have an unambiguous attitude - they must be disposed of. Compared to the Japanese, who find aesthetic pleasure in contemplating imperfections and old things, the ancient Chinese were much more minimalists. According to the teachings of Feng Shui, an outwardly damaged thing became a poor conductor of energy, and therefore distorted the favorable qi current in the house.
Are there any rational reasons to throw away cracked dishes?
But even if you are not a superstitious person, you still should not keep broken dishes at home without a good reason. First, it's just aesthetically ugly. It is unpleasant to eat from such dishes, and guests will certainly pay attention to utensils that are not the first freshness. Secondly, sometimes there is a risk of crack enlargement. At the most inopportune moment, a plate that has been serving you with a crack for more than a year can “split at the seams”. Agree, an unpleasant surprise, especially if it was full of hot soup. The third reason to discard damaged dishes is hygiene. Even if the crack is almost imperceptible to the touch, dirt and food debris can still accumulate in it, especially if you neglect the dishwashing brush. It is unlikely that you will enjoy eating from a plate in which last year's salad is rotting!
If crockery with a crack is a gift from your beloved grandmother or the only memory of a deceased person, then there is nothing wrong with leaving it in the house. Only now it is better to refrain from using it - let it stand honorably on the shelf and please you.
It is believed that the dishes beats fortunately. Is this really the case, let's try to figure it out in this article. Why is the dishes in the house beating - this bad, or, conversely, promising joy? Why then does a broken mirror scare us so? What's the Difference?
From life observations it follows that the dishes of the dishes are different. And situations are also different. It's one thing when at a wedding, young people break their glasses with joy and hope, thereby "charging" their joint life path goodness and fun. Another thing is when the dishes break during a scandal. Here it is done with a lot of negative energy and emotions. And there are cases, well, obviously, not carrying a semantic load. When the battle of dishes is an elementary negligence.
Do not focus too much on various signs and beliefs. Sometimes there is an ordinary accident or carelessness in handling.
It is worth paying attention to losses in the dishes, if this happens often and for no apparent reason.

According to many beliefs, it is believed that in no case should you keep spoiled dishes at home. Feng Shui explains this by the fact that the positive energy of your home goes into the cracks.
According to Christian beliefs, it is believed that wealth leaves through cracks and holes and evil spirits come.
The dishes crack, split, scatter to smithereens, and for each case there is a belief. Broken plates, cups, vases, glasses, wine glasses are capable of
talk about what was, is and will be. Folk wisdom takes everything into account -
what object crashed, when, by whom and how. For good or bad luck - it's up to us
by ourselves. At the same time, the Jews know exactly what the dishes in the house are beating for. The sign claims that it is always fortunate! According to the ancient people, a person has a reserve of luck. If it is not spent on such trifles as a broken glass, then it will come in handy for really important things. 
If the dishes break by accident
Sometimes dishes are broken on purpose, but much more often it is because of chance that cups and plates turn into a mountain of unnecessary fragments.
Plates
If the cymbal is broken in:
Cups, glasses, wine glasses
They are associated with the most different signs. Broken dishes from which they drink become a symbol of happiness if they shattered into smithereens under the owner's hand. If an outsider broke your cup, then imminent troubles are possible or someone is jealous of you. A broken handle or bottom, unfortunately, speaks of impending problems. 
Here are a few more signs with broken cups or glasses:
Vase
Almost always beats fortunately. A vase that accidentally slips out of your hands promises a lot of good luck! You will be lucky always and in everything for 5 years. It is believed that the lighter the broken glass, the more luck it will bring. But if the vase has already been put in its place and suddenly fell, then the spouses may have a child, and the lonely ones will find their love.
And only fragments from a very cheap vase speak of trouble - something very dear to the heart will soon be lost. 
Specially broken dishes
It is believed that bad omens are associated with this. Dishes broken in a state of anger will only bring trouble and money problems. However, there is also a good belief! To attract good luck and financial well-being, you need to break into the smallest pieces the most beautiful and expensive plate in the house. 
Ah, this wedding!
When such fun happens, then you definitely won’t be able to do without a pile of fragments. Perhaps you should take a closer look at who and what beats at the wedding:
- The dishes are broken by the guest - the more fragments, the more happiness the young will have
- The bride accidentally dropped the plate - the marriage may not last long due to the infidelity of the spouse
- The groom dropped the glass - there is a danger that he will become addicted to alcohol
- The wine glass split in the hands of the mother-in-law or mother-in-law - the young with relatives will have a very difficult relationship
But that's not all! After all, there are many beliefs when the newlyweds at the wedding need to specially beat the dishes:
Dishes break by themselves
The case is rare, but for him there is a sign of what the dishes in the house beat without human intervention. This indicates the negative that has accumulated in the family, that is, a bad emotional environment. If the plate or cup just cracked, then a close relative may get sick or financial difficulties are already very close.
What to do with broken dishes?
It is unlikely that anyone will store the fragments, but the dishes covered with a web of cracks, and even your favorite cup with a small chip, should be thrown away immediately. Signs say that cracks attract bad luck and accumulate negative energy. 
Common sense says that using spoiled dishes is dangerous to health - a cracked bowl of hot soup will definitely crack at the most inopportune moment.
Just do not throw away unnecessary utensils or fragments in the trash can! Wrap everything in a rag and take it straight to the trash can.
What to do with bad omens?
For every poison there is an antidote. Likewise with omens. If you believe in them, be sure to remember that even the worst of them can be neutralized. When a sign does not bode well, then immediately say out loud two magic words: “For luck!” After that, nothing bad will happen to you. 
The answer to this question has several answers. The first one is, of course, simple logic. There are cracked dishes that can burst in half at any time, or because of which you can cut yourself badly. But why can't you eat broken dishes? The answer to this question refers us to ancient paganism.
But the very history of this superstition goes much deeper into history, far into the paganism of the Slavs. Then it was believed that the dishes, like a mirror, accumulate both positive and negative energy. And as soon as the owners of the hut noticed that the dishes were cracking without the direct influence of a person, it was believed that it absorbed a huge amount of negative energy and cracked from its amount, no longer able to restrain it. There is another sign associated with this.
In paganism, dishes were characterized with prosperity, which was given by the Slavic god of the sun - Yarilo. And when the utensils break, it was the god's hint at how people treated him disrespectfully. In this case, it was believed that trouble would soon come to this house.
But on the days of celebration (for example, a wedding), breaking dishes was considered the other way around, a good sign. The “Book of the Hidden Tree of Life” says, quote: “Do not regret the dishes on your wedding day, let it beat for the joy and long life of the young, so let all the bad things disappear away, leave you with shards, but if you start to keep those fragments, then you can break the crystal jug of luck. This quote hints that even if the dishes are broken by the will of the people (which means a good omen), they still cannot be left at home.
The situation is much more complicated with glasses and jugs, since opinions on this matter differed radically in different regions of Ancient Russia. Archaeologists and scientists agree that most people considered broken glasses to be a good omen, but only if they were broken by men. If a girl broke them, then this was usually a hint that the girl would have problems in her love or sex life.
In its modern form, you need to look at the dishes themselves. If it is old, this is a good sign. It means the departure of old problems, the remission of the sins of the past. If new dishes are broken, on the contrary, old grievances and quarrels will be remembered.
Glass is a separate category. Any broken dishes made of glass (and it doesn’t matter if the owner wants it or not) predict integrity violations in relationships and in the family. From broken dishes, just like from a broken mirror, you must immediately get rid of, and not store at home. It is advisable to throw it in a garbage container away from home. Eating food from broken dishes is considered a hint to the gods that the owner of the dwelling accepts his poverty, poverty and inferiority.
In the end, I want to say that spoiled things have no place in the house. If the guests, or relatives of the host, look at a broken mirror or dishes, it will psychologically affect them, in the very subconscious, even if they never believed in omens. So always take care of your apartment or house, clean it, clean up the broken mirror or dishes and guests will always be happy to come back again thanks to the positive energy.
