What can you do for a birthday

The main folk recommendations for birthdays:

• Birthday – this is your personal New Year, so the well-known saying also applies here: “How will you meet – that’s how you’ll do it.” From the very morning, tune in to a positive mood, surround yourself with comfort and pleasant things, communicate with loved ones and celebrate properly. Let the celebration go the way you want it – format is completely irrelevant. A noisy party, home gatherings, a spontaneous trip together with a loved one – On this day, you are free to do only what you like. And then happiness and joy will be on your side all year long.
• Blow out the candles on your birthday cake. Our ancestors believed that a fire kindled on an important holiday attracts the attention of higher powers. Therefore, the ceremony of lighting candles, followed by making a wish – modernized echo of ancient rituals. Whether the higher powers will hear your sincere desire, conceived over the cake, we can’t say for sure. But even just to formulate the most important dream for you – useful too. After all, it is correct to name the goal – the first step towards achieving it.
• Put on something new. The beginning of another life stage – a reason to please yourself with new things. It is believed that the birthday man on his birthday should wear only new things, and all – from outerwear to underwear. Once you get dressed in the morning, you can’t change your outfit until the end of the day. – so that good luck accompanies the whole year. Therefore, when choosing clothes, it is worth considering that the image should fit both an everyday office day and an evening celebration.
• A sign that promises wealth says: for each guest, in exchange for his gift, prepare a small return souvenir. It can be a jar of jam, a small bouquet, or a pre-printed joint photo. According to legend, generous birthday people are spoiled by fate for a whole year, granting financial well-being.

What not to do on a birthday

Folk signs will tell you what things to give up on your most special day of the year:

• You can not be sad, worry, worry – remember the covenant “as you meet, so you will spend.” Try to calm your thoughts on your birthday and put aside all worries and problems at least for a while.
• It is considered bad luck to celebrate a birthday before or after the date itself. Even if the holiday falls on weekdays, it is still better to celebrate it on the same day. The sign says: celebrate earlier – reduce years of life, later walk – good luck and no money.
• On a holiday and on the eve, you cannot borrow and lend, otherwise the whole year will be penniless.

Signs for a woman’s birthday

Signs for the birthday girl are associated with gifts that should and should not be accepted:

• a presented mirror or handkerchief promises grief and misfortune;
• pearl jewelry – to tears;
• yellow flowers – harbingers of betrayal and separation;
• receive empty wallets, bags, vases and other containers as a gift – to poverty. You should ask the donor to throw a coin inside, then wealth will not leave the family.

It is also believed that women should not celebrate their 53rd birthday. What the ban is connected with is hard to say. Probably, superstition refers to the fact that around this age the internal restructuring of the body begins in a woman, and during such a period she is considered especially vulnerable.
