And in our time you can meet a lot of people who believe in omens. Someone never passes things over the threshold, takes out garbage from the house at a certain time of the day, always sits down in front of the road, spits over his left shoulder if a black cat crosses the road, and does not even greet others. The world will be huge, and each of them corresponds to a certain reasonable psychological justification. The prohibition to take food from a knife also, first of all, refers to one of the popular signs, but the explanation may lie in the elementary rules of ethics and safety.
Bad sign
Signs and superstitions arise when a person is not able to argue a question incomprehensible to him. Do not forget that most of them appeared as a result of ordinary coincidences.
In ancient times, a knife was considered not only a tool of labor, but also a means of protection from enemies and various evil spirits. He was credited with magical power, treated and used in a special way only after carrying out special rituals. Distant ancestors believed that eating from a knife means angering spirits.
In addition, the peasants-tillers used a spoon for food, and strangers, who often disturbed the peace of the civilian population, were accustomed to meat and usually used a knife. Aggressive, cruel conquerors were evil people. Thus, among the peace-loving peasants, the belief arose that if you eat with a knife, you will become self-willed and angry.
Speaking about this sign, one can recall the famous "Lay of Igor's Campaign." Prince Bui-Tur's brother Vsevolod, describing his Kurian warriors, said that they were "fed from the end of the spear." Reconsidering the omen (the knife was replaced by the spear), one can come to the conclusion that the army of Vsevolod was brave and decisive.
Some superstitious people believe that licking food from a knife makes a person not only vicious, but also makes him jealous. You can hear other explanations for this sign: if you eat with a knife, your heart will ache or wait for an operation.
Knife and human aura
In our life there is a science called esotericism, its field includes the study and explanation of the influence of various objects on the aura surrounding a person. According to the laws of this science, a negative aura emanates from any sharp objects.
Negative energy is concentrated at the tip of the knife, therefore, when this object approaches a person, the energy field may be disturbed. As a result, a person experiences malaise, apathy, his mood drops, even a weakening of immunity is possible.
The negative impact on the biofield of a knife close to a person can be explained by the fact that this object is often a murder weapon.
Etiquette and safety rules
The purpose of the knife remains unchanged at all times: it is a tool that no kitchen can do without, and is also one of the necessary cutlery. Using a knife for eating means grossly violating the requirements of etiquette, showing disrespect for the people sitting next to you at the table.
Tasting food from a knife can cause yourself trouble, which for some time will deprive you of the opportunity to speak and eat normally - to cut your tongue.
