In this case, a quarrel will be avoided, as popular wisdom claims. Scattering sweet crystals during a quarrel between spouses promises them a quick reconciliation.
Signs about sugar
There aren't very many of them. In the distant past, this was an expensive product that not everyone, but only very wealthy people, could afford. Once upon a time, sweet sand was made only from reed, which in Rus' was exotic plant. This was the case until a way to obtain it from beets, which were beautifully grown in the vast expanses of the country, appeared. And despite this, for a long time, this product was practically inaccessible to low-income people due to its high cost.
Probably for this reason, all interpretations of the sign - scattering sugar on the table, on the floor, at the door, etc. - are interpreted as the threshold of the sweet life, luxury and pleasures. The signs about spilled sugar have some clarification. The place where the sweet grains fall matters:
- Scattered on the table - expect financial profit.
- On the floor - a harbinger of pleasant changes in personal life: interesting acquaintances, flirting. For married people, the sign portends new stage in a relationship, second honeymoon.
- On the saucer - good luck in everyday matters.
- Got on clothes - for new things and going out. For everyone, this concept is interpreted in its own way: for some it is a visit to the theater, for others it is planning a trip to a disco or a rock festival. In any case, this will be an appearance in a public place.
What can a person who spilled sugar expect?

Don’t worry if you accidentally spilled sugar on the table - the omen promises you a comfortable, sweet life. What does the word “sweet” mean in this case? It can be defined as happy, without sorrows and adversities.

Often, people who believe in omens and various mystical rituals pour salt and even earth at their doors on purpose. This ritual is negative or, in the case of salt, protective in nature. Sweet crystals accidentally spilled at the door promise you quick and pleasant changes in your home: renovations (although for many this is not the most pleasant event), major acquisitions.
The sign has another meaning - financial wealth family members (repaid debts, bonuses). And one more meaning - guests will come to your home, whom you will be very glad to see.

Moreover, you will be pleasantly surprised by the source of your income - it could be a successful deal, a significant increase in salary, or an inheritance from a distant relative.
It’s good when the sugar crumbles in a heap. This portends you receiving a large one-time profit, which can be regarded as random luck: winning a dispute, a lottery, repaying a debt.
To family happiness
There was once a tradition for newlyweds to throw sugar on their wedding day. It was believed that the life of this couple would be happy and sweet. Sometimes only pinches were thrown, and sometimes even handfuls. However, today this tradition is not observed by everyone, since sticky sugar can ruin the outfits and hairstyles of the newlyweds, but the path along which they will walk can be lightly sprinkled with sweet sand.
To success in love
It turns out that this is why you need to sprinkle sugar! For a young girl, this sign can be interpreted as follows: she came to prepare for the beautiful actions of her faithful admirer and expect a romantic date. If a man spills sugar, the sign promises him to win the lady of his heart. And even if she is not too supportive, there is every reason to expect success.

What to expect if large quantities sprinkle sugar? The sign portends the establishment of a relationship with a loved one with whom you could not find for a long time common language. Your relationship will change very soon: mutual understanding and respect will come.
Sugar scattered on the floor promises gain peace of mind and inner peace, good luck in business. A bursting bag of sweet sand foreshadows the receipt of good news.
Rafinated sugar
If, before you took a bite of refined sugar, the sweet cube crumbled, this means that financial well-being awaits you very soon. A piece of refined sugar falling out of your hands and breaking portends a series of happy events.
For an unmarried woman
Success in love awaits everyone if you accidentally spill sugar! The sign is especially good for unmarried ladies. It is believed that sugar spilled through carelessness foreshadows their acquaintance with their betrothed. For this sign to work, you need to draw a heart on the scattered sugar.
Married ladies in this case will receive from their spouse increased attention. Family relationships will take on a new, romantic character.
The interpretation of folk signs may differ somewhat depending on the gender, age, and marital status of the person to whom they relate. If you believe in omens, then scattered sugar, as follows from all of the above, is one of the most pleasant of them.
Popular wisdom says: if you want to enhance the effect of a sign, then do not rush to remove sugar immediately. Before you start cleaning, wait at least five minutes and only after that collect everything that has been spilled. In addition, spilled sugar should not be thrown into the trash. Sweep it carefully and take it outside: by throwing the sugar into a bucket, you will deprive yourself of all the positive things promised by the sign. And one more tip: intentionally spilling sugar will most likely only bring you losses. Signs come true when everything happens by chance.

Signs for the weather
Plants and animals turn out to be reliable weather forecasters, especially for forecasts for the near future.
Probably the most sensitive to weather changes are cats.
Signs for frost:
Cat in the stove - cold in the yard; the cat is in a ball in the cold. And wait for frost if the cat covers its face with its paw while sleeping.
Signs for warming:
The cat lies down on the floor, fast asleep; lies in the middle of the room, tail thrown back; lies stomach up; sits on the windowsill and looks out the window.
And if a cat scratches the floor, there will be a snowstorm. Some similarities can be found in the behavior of dogs. They curl up and lie in a ball - in the cold; stretch, legs spread, for warmth; they ride in the snow - in anticipation of a thaw and a blizzard. It's a snowstorm if dogs are chasing each other and playing in the snow.
People's observation has not spared other domestic animals:
If, in good winter weather, cows and sheep from the countryside go to the barn on their own, expect a snowstorm.
The calves are playing around in a warm room - there will be a snowstorm.
If the cow's teats are warm in the evening when milking, it will not be warm, and if they are cold, it will be frosty.
In winter, goats knock their feet, flap their ears and sneeze - towards the snow.
The piglets squeal - it's freezing.
In the face of frost and snowstorms, adult pigs also squeal, and at the same time they carry straw with various debris in their mouths, apparently to protect themselves from the oncoming cold.
Signs of the Sun:
If at sunset the sky is light azure, golden, light pink, or there is a noticeable predominance of a greenish tint, the weather is good, even if the sun is covered with clouds.
The red disk of the sun sets in a cloud or fog - to rain or wind, in darkness - to drought.
After sunset, the sky in the west turned crimson red - a sign of strong wind and rain.
If the sun rises from the reddened clouds around it - to rain, in fog - to clear, quiet and stuffy weather.
If the sun rises from the reddened clouds around it - to rain, in fog - to clear, quiet and stuffy weather, in a clear sky and seems smaller than usual, and its rays are very bright - to drought.
If the sky turns red at sunrise, it means rain in one or two days; if it turns all colors, it means rain on the same day.
The morning sun is red - the weather will change for the worse, rain and wind are possible.
When the sun rises, it is stuffy (steamy) - it means rain on the same day.
The sun is covered with clouds in the morning - it will rain.
Signs for the Moon:
If the moon seems larger than its usual size and is reddish in color, it means rain.
During the full moon, the moon is light and pure in color - the weather is good, dark and pale - it means rain.
Signs on the Stars:
The stars seem very shiny - in the heat, they flicker strongly and look smaller than usual - in the rain.
A starry sky means clear weather, rare stars mean rain.
Stars in the fog mean rain, falling stars mean the wind.
If the stars twinkle strongly, and there are clouds in the morning, there will be a thunderstorm at noon.
Strong twinkling of stars at dawn means rain in the coming days.
Signs for the Wind:
Strong northern or northwestern winds mean cold, stormy weather.
A wet wind means prolonged bad weather, gusty and streaky winds mean calm weather.
If the wind increases towards night, the weather will worsen.
Strong wind and rain mean good weather.
The wind blew from the north - it was a clear and cold day.
If at noon in good weather the wind increases and white clouds like cotton wool appear in the sky, and in the evening they disappear and the wind weakens, then this means good weather the next day.
Signs for Rain:
Light rain in the morning means a good year; if bubbles form on the water from raindrops, the bad weather will be prolonged.
Signs for Rosa:
Heavy evening and morning dew means good weather, and the more abundant it is, the hotter the coming day will be. But if dew does not appear and dries quickly, the weather will worsen.
Signs for Fog:
If the fog spreads along the ground or quickly dissipates in the rays of the sun, the weather is stable, good and even hot, and if it rises in the form of a column, it means rain.
Signs for Thunder:
Dull thunder means quiet rain, and rolling thunder means heavy rain.
Prolonged rumbles of thunder mean prolonged bad weather.
If lightning flashes without thunder after rain, the weather must be clear.
Signs for the Rainbow:
If a rainbow appears in the morning before noon, it will rain; in the evening - for good weather.
If a rainbow disappears soon after rain, it means clear weather; if it stays for a long time, it means bad weather.
If rainbows appear during rain, it means rain for several days.
Popular insight has not escaped household signs for the weather. Here are some of them for rain:
Wooden lids, plugs, window frames, doors are difficult to open; dew falls on the glass in the double frames, the windows seem to be crying; in a container with water, bubbles appear on the surface; the same bubbles are visible on any surface of water.
Now let's turn our attention to the behavior of animals. Before the rain, domestic animals usually greedily eat grass (even cats and dogs) and drink little, the horse shakes its head and throws it up; the cows raise their muzzles upward, greedily inhaling more air, the cattle run away from the yard into shelters; the dog vigorously digs the ground and gets into the water; The cat shakes its muzzle, you lie down.
And this is how birds behave before the rain: chickens bathe in the sand, flapping their wings; a rooster crows for no reason in the middle of the day, a domestic goose splashes in the water and dives; rooks, crows, jackdaws, and seagulls scream loudly, often in alarm, gathering in flocks. Well, fishermen know well that before it rains, fish jump out of the water and don’t bite; earthworms crawl along the surface of the soil; Mosquitoes and midges bite harder.
But the behavior of smaller animals will help improve the weather: the cat washes itself, licks its paw; the horse snorts; the rooster crows at the beginning of the day in rainy weather; birds suddenly begin to chirp in bad weather; seagulls land on the water and swim.

· If you accidentally drop a comb on the floor, do not rush to pick it up, let someone else do it, or, before picking it up, step on it with your left foot and spit over your left shoulder three times. You should do almost the same thing with dropped gloves, but if someone else picks up and hands you a dropped glove, this is a sure sign that you are in for a pleasant surprise.
· If you forgot gloves in someone's house and then returned to pick them up, then do not take them over the threshold, but enter the house, even if you are in a hurry, sit down and pull them on your hands. Only after this can you leave - otherwise you will be in trouble.

· The easiest way to protect yourself from the evil eye is to pin a safety pin as large as possible closer to your heart, but so that it is not visible to others. The head of the pin should be pointing down.
· If you feel that the person walking behind wants to put the evil eye on you or cast a spell on you, sharply turn your head towards him, move your right hand back towards him and make the goat sign with your fingers: the middle, ring and thumb fingers are clenched together, and the rest are extended. In this case, the hand is directed to the ground.

In case of family damage, the corners in the house must be baptized with a burning branch of St. John's wort for ten days. You can stick a kitchen knife into the window frame or door in the most visible place. An ordinary person will not notice this, but a person with bad thoughts will fly out as if scalded.
· When a person leaves home for the first time after a serious illness, he must walk around the house in the direction of the sun. If you don't do this, the disease will definitely return.
· The easiest way to protect yourself from the evil eye or damage is to cross your arms or legs when talking with a person from whom you can expect trouble.
· Tie two rowan sticks with red thread crosswise and hang this cross between the lining and the top of your outerwear. Not a single sorcerer and not a single witch can harm.
Boy or girl? Signs for determining the future gender of a child.
Determining the future gender of a child is a topic that has always interested future parents. After all, you need to prepare for the arrival of a new person, and it’s easier to do this if you know who will be born: a boy or a girl. At least to come up with a name for this new person.

In addition, many parents refuse ultrasound, and many simply do not have such an opportunity.
This is where signs come to the rescue, allowing you to find out the gender of the unborn child even before birth. Naturally, such signs often have no scientific basis, but for inexplicable reasons they come true.
