The healing properties of Thursday salt have been used for centuries. However, not all the ingredients that were before are now ...

So, when you lend money, the following signs must be observed:
Under what moon, in what phase, to lend money? You can not lend money during the waning moon, that is, in the period from the full moon to the new moon. It is necessary to lend money - with the Growing Moon.

By lending money to the Growing Moon, you thereby smooth out, to some extent neutralize the negative fact that you are parting with your money.

In addition, you need to monitor the phase of the moon also when paying back your debt. Track (adjust the situation in such a way in time) so that the debtor repays the debt to you also on the Waxing Moon! This will increase your money!

In general, you need to remember a simple rule: lend money and accept, take back the debt - you need it on the Growing Moon!

You may also be interested in signs about how the Moon and the Sun affect money.
All operations to borrow money and return them must be carried out in the light. Preferably in sunlight.

Another sign: You can’t lend money in the evening and at night, after sunset, otherwise your financial luck will get confused in the dark. In the dark, dark forces are activated and can do something evil to you or your money. But, if you still have to do this, if the situation really requires it, then you need to observe the following two signs. 1. turn on the light (or at least shine a lantern, a candle). 2. The one who gives money puts it on the floor. And the one who takes - bends down and picks them up from the floor.
You can not give money and borrow it from hand to hand. You need to put them on the table (but not on the dining room), on the bedside table, on the chest of drawers, on a chair, stool, well, or in extreme cases, on the floor or on the ground.

In a store or on the market, money for goods and change must be placed on a special stand for money, and if there is none, then simply on the counter.

When giving alms, you need to put money in a hat, a glass, or just next to a beggar, a beggar.

All this should be done this way because, along with money, the negative energy of people can be transmitted, including the energy of poverty, bad luck, damage and other muck. When money is not transferred directly from hand to hand, then such a black force is neutralized and rendered harmless by the transit point through which the money was transferred.

Is it possible to put money on the table? Yes, but not for lunch! It is best that, when transferring money to you, such a person put it on something wooden: a tree has an excellent ability to extinguish bad energy. Well, if you didn’t manage to immediately “pass” the money through the “wooden strainer”, do it as soon as you come home or to work. Let the bills lie on the "tree" for half an hour - an hour.
Which hand to give money? To give money, as well as to give, you need to use your right hand. And take - left.

Didn't think why? It's all about the hemispheres of the brain.

The left hemisphere is responsible for logic, it also coordinates (in computer terms it is a driver) the actions of the right hand. Thus, giving / giving away money with the right hand - the head thinks what it is doing! The right hemisphere is responsible for emotions, it also coordinates the left hand. It turns out that you can take money on emotions, without really thinking about it.

But this does not mean that before you borrow money, you do not need to think. Need! Moreover, the left hemisphere. And only after the decision to borrow money is made, you can change the left

It is better not to lend money to a person to whom you yourself owe or owe something to him. He may not repay the debt or delay its return, believing that he has the moral right to do so.

It is better to always give and give money (banknotes) not in expanded form, but in rolled one. If the bill is simply folded in half, even slightly, this is already enough. In this form, it can be given and given away without worry.

The bill must be folded so that its ends are facing the person who gives it. And if you give money in expanded form, this means that you, as it were, with all your heart part with them, so to speak ... Do not hesitate to give money like that.

Those who do not know about this sign will accept money from you and deploy it themselves. And they won't tell you anything. (Of course, unless you have folded the bills more than once, just in half, or if you have not rolled them into tubes). And those who know about it will understand, and will not say anything either (after all, if they know, then they themselves do it).

And this sign applies not only to borrowing money. It is very desirable to observe it always: when you buy something, pay for any services, etc.
What banknotes to lend money? Try to borrow money in the largest denominations you have. Thus, you give away less money (if you count by the number of bills)!

What banknotes to lend money? The biggest one you have!

In addition, in addition, make sure that the debt is returned to you in banknotes of no less denomination than you lent to the debtor. If he intends to do something wrong (give in smaller denominations), then tell him that this is a bad omen - let him exchange, change, and give back, in those denominations in which you ask
When borrowing money, say: “So that I always have and you multiply.” This can already be said aloud so that the debtor hears. Every time you give someone money, say to yourself: “It’s a pity for the money, but it’s necessary, but for a good deed, but for good people. Help and return not to the deadline, but to the time.

It is impossible, if possible, to avoid looking at the person (especially in his eyes) to whom you give or lend money.
What days are you allowed to borrow money? When should you not lend money? The signs about money in this regard, in short, are as follows: money cannot be borrowed on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. And now more about this.

Many people are concerned about the question: is it possible to lend money on Monday, because this is the beginning of the week and, perhaps, it means something? Yes, that's right: no payments are made on Monday and they don't lend money either, so that the money does not melt like wax throughout the week
Tuesday – well, the week already started yesterday…. So is it possible to lend money on Tuesday? No, a popular sign says that on Tuesday you can’t borrow money either, otherwise you yourself will be in debt all your life!

Can I lend money on Wednesday? Yes, on Wednesday you can. It's the middle of the week and you can do anything.

Is it possible to lend money on Thursday? Yes, on Thursday you can supply the petitioner with money.

Is it possible to lend money on a clean Thursday? No, you can't, because it's a holiday. On a simple Thursday, you can borrow, but on a clean Thursday - you can’t!

And you can’t lend money on February 13th. It is not known exactly why. But there is such a popular sign about borrowing money.
Not very well-known signs about money: You can’t lend money amounts that contain a deuce and zero: 2, 20, 200, 220, 2002, 20000, etc. Most likely, this money will not be returned to you.

How to attract money on Clean Thursday

1. Before you wash the floors, put three coins of different denominations in a basin or bucket. Lower them into the water one by one, while saying: “Coins are earned by honest labor, not taken away, not stolen. The first will get rid of debts, the second - from unnecessary expenses, the third will attract money ". Mop the floor and throw the water out over the threshold. Take the coins to the house and hide in a secluded place.

2. From the very morning on Maundy Thursday, be sure to recount your savings. Tune in to positive thoughts and think about what you will do with your savings. Be sure to leave a small amount in order to make any charitable contribution. The energy of goodness and creation will return to you, multiplied several times, and the money that you gave will also return to you in good.

3. On this day, you should not borrow and lend, so that the monetary energy remains in your home. If loans cannot be avoided, read the plot: "Money for a good cause is always returned on time."

4. If you have a pair of old shoes in your house, place a coin each with the words: “The roads are well-trodden in boots, it’s time to say goodbye to shoes. As soon as the shoes are found, the coins are taken away, the money will go back to the house.”. Take your shoes to a crowded place, and on the way back open the front door wide with the words: "Welcome!".

5. Scatter coins around the house, saying: “How much wealth is scattered around the house - no one thought how many times I step on a coin, so much will be added to my wallet.” Do not remove the coins for a day and try to have the household step on them as often as possible. Then put the money in a piggy bank or opaque container. As soon as it is filled, the monetary energy in your home will become a regular guest.

6. You can talk about wealth with a wallet. To do this, put it on the windowsill during dawn. It must contain at least one bill and a coin. As soon as the sun rises from the horizon, say: “The radiant sun comes into the world, drives the night away, relieves negativity. Light up my wealth. Boost your finances. Not for a bad deed, but for the benefit of the money will go.

7. Many housewives use water to wash windows and doors, in which they put charmed coins and a handful of Thursday salt. The words of the conspiracy are simple: “I’ll wash the house clean, I’ll wash the windows and doors from dirt. Money luck will not pass by a clean home, it will turn into my house. After cleaning, place the coins on the windowsill and near the threshold and do not remove them for three days.

8. Hold a few coins in your hand and read the prayer "Our Father" three times. Then go outside the threshold of the house, clutching the money, and say the words of the conspiracy: “Lord, have mercy on me, a sinful slave (name). Grant your forgiveness and blessings". Throw money in an arc, as if sowing seeds, and say: “In the name of goodness, the land gives a rich harvest, feeds people, adds strength. So my money will give good shoots, they will go to a good cause.

On Clean Thursday, you can perform any ritual that will attract financial abundance into your life.

Everyone dreams of having material possessions. But to live without denying yourself the necessary, and sometimes allow ...

In 2019 Maundy Thursday will come on April 25. On this day, you can get rid of the accumulated negativity, open the doors of the house for happy changes, attract love in your heart, and well-being in your family.

It was on this day almost twenty centuries ago in Jerusalem that Jesus Christ gathered his apostles for the Last Supper. He broke bread and took a sip of wine, saying: "This is my body and my blood." Thus, blood sacrifice was abolished, people were forbidden to shed blood even in the name of the Lord. Christ washed the disciples' feet to give an example of how people should treat each other: with love and without a hint of arrogance. And then he said that one of those gathered at the meal would betray him. Thus the Son of Man laid the foundation for a new countdown of time. A time when people really “love one another; when it becomes impossible to kill, no matter how lofty purpose it may be justified; when betrayal turns out to be a crime against the Almighty and against neighbors - and every traitor will be called Judas, the black shadow of a disciple who once betrayed the Teacher will fall on everyone.

Maundy Thursday before Easter has become a symbol of deliverance from spiritual and physical filth. And the practices of this day turned out to be so powerful and effective that they entered the arsenal of folk wisdom. To spend them, you need to fast at least the last week before Easter.

What to do on Maundy Thursday

• Color eggs and bake Easter cakes.
• Prepare or buy Thursday salt.
• When cleaning an apartment, use water in which a trifle lay from dawn to noon: then there will be prosperity in the house.
• Cut the ends of the hair: it is the hair that keeps the negative the longest. Babies get their hair cut for the first time on Maundy Thursday.
• Make some rearrangements in the house: this promises the fulfillment of a cherished desire.
• Finish everything that was postponed for later: this way you will be cleansed of the accumulated problems.

What not to do on Maundy Thursday

On Clean Thursday, you can’t give, sell, give away something, and generally take your things out of the house, household things (the one whose things are taken out will leave the house within a year), household utensils (give happiness and good luck with it), give money to duty.

When and how to wake up on Maundy Thursday

On Thursday, it is important to wake up before sunrise and take a shower. Water on this day relieves sins and helps to cope with ailments. Imagine that you are bathed in a stream of light. The pre-dawn time is a special hour: the hour of transition from night to day, from darkness to light, all practices of getting rid of negativity at such a moment acquire special power. Standing under the shower, repeat any prayer or, in your own words, turn to the Higher Forces with gratitude and a request for purification.

Even if you are not going through the most rosy period of your life, you have something to thank Heaven for. And not only for "daily bread", for the fact that the arms and legs are intact, there is a roof over your head and there are people in the world to whom you are dear - although this is a lot.

Try to feel gratitude for the lessons you are learning from life. Yes, they cause pain, sometimes excruciating, but they harden the soul: such is the price of wisdom.

Gratitude cleanses the soul. A person who does not remember goodness, who does not feel sympathy for those who helped him, is unhappy: this is a sure sign that there is little room for light in his soul, it is filled with darkness. Take the first, simplest and most natural step towards inner liberation: on Maundy Thursday in the predawn hour, standing in the shower, remember those who helped you even a little yesterday. The day before yesterday. Last week. And more, more... Now, having mentally thanked the people, turn with gratitude to God, to the world, to the Higher powers: your soul is cleansed, tuned in to a dialogue with Heaven - and your requests will be heard.

Cleaning Thursday

According to ancient custom, on Maundy Thursday, a general cleaning is carried out in the house. But it is unlikely that on a working day a modern woman is ready for such feats. Don't beat yourself up. It is enough to wipe the floor and doors. Every minute remember that you are not just brushing off the dust, but performing an important ritual. This is especially necessary in homes where people often quarrel and get sick.

By the way, it has been noticed that when cleaning on Maundy Thursday, you can find your favorite, long-lost things. After cleaning up, take a handful of salt in your right hand and say it: Roll - do not reach, do not spin at the threshold, do not cling to the porch, do not hang on the gate! Dog, goblin, crow help, roll from the threshold! Then sprinkle along the threshold outside in front of the front door: this will provide you with protection for the whole year. Remember: after Maundy Thursday, you can’t clean up for six days.

Cleaning on Maundy Thursday will help you find your soul mate. To do this, when cleaning, make room in the house for your chosen one. Rearrange the items in the bathroom so that there is a shelf “for him”: you can put a new toothbrush, a razor, a sampler of men's cologne there. In the closet, also make room for "his" things; you can buy men's slippers and put them in the corridor: be sure to wear socks inside the apartment, and not to the door.

It often happens that a former love interferes with a cherished meeting. A woman wants a new relationship with her whole being, but an unhealed wound aches in her soul. On Maundy Thursday, it's easier than ever to break ghostly ties from the past.

Collect all the things that were left after the former lover, and take them out of the house. You can throw it away, and put something solid near the garbage cans or take it to the church, the main thing is that the place where you leave them is across the intersection from the house. The same should be done with his gifts: destroy, give away or sell (depending on the value of the present). Burn photos and letters, destroy e-mail without pity.

And finally, a folk recipe: “If a girl cannot get married, you need to give the towel with which she wiped herself on Maundy Thursday to the beggars at the temple along with a painted egg and a piece of Easter cake. The wedding will not keep you waiting."

Rites and conspiracies for wealth on Maundy Thursday

How often spirituality and material well-being are opposed! They say that a true Christian (and, in general, a decent person) should not be rich. Of course, this is stupidity: financial intelligence, hard work and talent in no way prevent a person from being a believer and moral. And therefore, on Clean Thursday, it is not forbidden to think about strengthening your financial situation.

Count the money

It has long been believed that if you count all the money in the house three times on Maundy Thursday, then during the year you will not know grief. You just need to count correctly. Firstly, after washing, secondly, three times (in the morning, at noon and at sunset), thirdly, in secret from everyone, even from household members. You can’t be distracted during the ceremony: it won’t work, so ask your family not to disturb you and turn off your phone. Take out all the cash you have, including the change lying around in your pocket, put it on a small tray (according to legend, you can’t just put money on a table or on a bed).

Count out loud. Reaching the number ending in "5" or "0", Say the plot: “A thousand, yes half a thousand, yes six hundred, my lord-hand will take everywhere. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Now and forever and forever and ever. Amen".

Speak coin

Another wealth conspiracy on Maundy Thursday came to us from hoary antiquity, from the times of paganism: it is more than a thousand years old! After the Baptism of Russia, people began to read it on Maundy Thursday over a coin with the number "5". Take a five-ruble coin and whisper to it seven times:

“In a golden field, in a golden house, On a golden table stands a golden idol. The idol has golden lips, the idol has golden teeth. From whom the idol will be taken, That gold will not be transferred. I will approach the golden idol closer, I will bow down to the golden idol below. The idol is standing, it won’t sway, it’s standing, it won’t move. And as this idol will never become copper, So may wealth never fall behind my hands. My word is sculpted, my work is strong. Stronger than stone, stronger than damask steel. I close my words, I close my deeds. I'll lose the keys to the lock. Let it be according to my word! Exactly!"

The charmed coin must be worn in the wallet as a talisman: it will attract money.

Thursday salt: how to make and how to use

On the night from Wednesday to Maundy Thursday, the only time in the year, you can cook a very special "Thursday salt" - a powerful amulet against the evil eye. To cleanse the energy of the house, when cleaning, you should add a pinch of such salt to the water in order to remove the dark effect, you need to wash and pour water with Thursday salt. In addition, a pinch of it is added to ordinary salt and eaten during cooking throughout the year: dishes salted in this way will help resist evil, but will not let it touch a person.

The “Book of the Hidden Tree of Life” says about Thursday salt: “That salt of All Salts will become Salt, it is protection from any evil. If there is a sick person in the house, give him that Salt and water to drink. If there is trouble in the house - pour it into every corner. If there is a quarrel between spouses, put a bag of Salt under the pillow. If someone left and does not return - throw a handful of Salt into the fire. So that children grow up healthy, kind, beautiful and reasonable - throw a small pinch into the bathing water. So that there is prosperity in the house - pour it into a wooden salt shaker, and put it in the middle of the table. If the ill-wisher came to the house - give him food, flavored with that Salt. And if the enemy, then after his departure, sprinkle all traces of him with Salt. So that there is harmony in the house - under each bed, under the very head, throw a pinch.

Thursday salt can be bought at the church shop, but can be prepared at home. For a year, a family of three or four people will need at least a kilogram of coarse salt (the so-called “village”, and not ordinary boiled salt) and a dozen tablespoons of rye flour. On the night of Wednesday to Thursday, gather the household - let everyone throw a handful of salt into a large cast-iron frying pan. Add the rest of the salt and flour yourself, turn on the fire and fry the mixture until it darkens. While you are calcining the salt, read the prayer over it "Our Father". Cool the finished salt, sift and store in an opaque container, best of all - in a clay pot.

If Easter is burned from below, then the family will face losses and difficulties. If the bottom turned completely black, while the dough was not baked in the middle, this indicates a serious illness or death in the environment.

If the Easter cake has not risen, expect a breakdown and loss of health this year.

Conclusion

Whatever signs on Maundy Thursday may exist in beliefs, they are all invented by the people and have rather pagan roots. Earlier people were less educated. They had to believe what a little more enlightened people said. This is how the signs for Maundy Thursday, beliefs and rituals were born. As a rule, they have nothing to do with the Orthodox faith. Whether it is worth attaching great importance to signs is a matter that concerns each individual. However, cleanliness in the house, deeds and thoughts will not hurt anyone.
