The 21st century has long been in the yard, but many people remain superstitious and continue to adhere to ancient "traditions", without even realizing why it is worth doing this. Signs born in ignorance penetrate our minds, forcing us to act in the same way as our distant ancestors. Today we will tell you about the reeds in the house. This sign is old and has changed over time many times.
Negative
For thousands of years, women and children gathered bouquets of various flowers in the fields and carried them home. Some plants were considered medicinal, others were designed to protect against evil spirits. So what about the reeds in the house? Signs speak quite clearly in this regard. There are various interpretations, but all come down to one. The reeds at home are a bad omen. There are only two opinions of the superstitious population of Russia.
- Can reeds be kept at home? The sign will "answer" that no. It is believed that this plant is able to bring illness and death to the house.
- The second opinion is less cruel, but it also bodes unhappiness and misfortune to someone who has placed such an unusual bouquet at home.
In general, if you believe in signs, then it is better to beware of bringing into the house and putting reeds in a vase. However, like any other marsh plant.
Positive
But it is not all that bad. What else does reed boom in the house? Signs have the reverse side of the coin, especially when it comes to completely dried plants or products from it.
- The ancient Egyptians associated this plant with power. Still, in a dry country, it grew only where there is moisture, which means it could cause extremely positive associations. Modern Egyptians try to acquire furniture (chairs) from reeds, so that they symbolize the "throne" and the place of the head of the family in the house.
- If you put a dry reed (and any other dried plant) so that it can be seen immediately at the entrance to the house, then it will scare away troubles and ill-wishers.
At home
At present, there are many more people who are inclined not to believe in signs. In addition, reed stalks in ancient times often covered the roof of huts and temporary shelters. Thus, this plant was more likely to protect residents than bring them troubles.
Now the reeds in the house are a bad omen for housewives. But not because of the mystical properties of this plant. The "bud", the same inflorescence that everyone likes so much and because of which, in fact, people sometimes bring reeds into the house, continues to mature even while standing in a vase. Therefore, at a certain moment it will fall into fluff, which will cover everything that is possible. And it will be very difficult to get it out. Although, according to all the same signs, the “exploded” reeds mean a quick wedding or the arrival of matchmakers in the house.
The medicine
Another side of the coin is the reed in the house. Sign? No. Just the information that modern medical scientists have received. Think about why the ancient Slavs believed that reeds bring illness into the house?
- We already mentioned that when fading, the cane breaks up into fine fluff. This can cause allergies in especially sensitive people. And this disease, if you do not deal with it, can even lead to death.
- Any dried plant begins to decay into tiny particles of dust. They will settle on furniture, window sills, curtains, and then, with the slightest movement, fly into the air. And this can be dangerous for people with diseases of the respiratory system (for example, asthmatics).
- Have you ever wondered who lives in the swamp from which you will bring reeds into the house? It has nothing to do with it, because on the shore there are many different rodents (otters, mice, rats) that are carriers of infectious diseases. Bringing home the reeds that the sick animal has relieved, you put your family’s health at risk. Many of the diseases are not fatal, but practically incurable, and you will be sick until death.
Psychology
Another reason related to why you can not keep reeds in the house. Sign in this case plays an important psychological role. If you believe in signs, then in no case do not bring reeds into the house. The so-called chain reaction will work.
Surely a similar situation happened with everyone. You wake up in the morning with a bad mood. Maybe they didn’t get enough sleep or nightmares all night. As a result, you have very distracted attention. And then it begins - they hit a door jamb with a finger , broke a plate, a garbage bag broke, got into a traffic jam, were late for work, got a reprimand from their superiors, and quarreled with relatives in the evening. A series of events began with the fact that in the morning you thought that everything would be bad. And here it is exactly the same.
If you are superstitious, then if there is a reed in the house, you will subconsciously expect a dirty trick, some kind of misfortune or problems. This will entail a chain of events, as a result of which something must happen. And you unknowingly attribute this event to the fact that you have reeds in the house. Signs here will be very helpful.
Dreams
Apart from real life, there are signs associated with dreams about reeds. In most cases, there is a direct relationship between the reeds and the future of man.
- If you had a dream in which you saw lush thickets of blooming reeds, then this should bring you good luck in various matters. Perhaps a solution to the problems that have worried you lately will come.
- The reed is the Slavic embodiment of cupid. If a girl or boy dreams of reeds, this may be a harbinger of a long and lasting relationship. Promises love and well-being in the family.
- If in a dream you cover the roof with reeds, then you can finish the work you have begun and successfully bring it to the end.
- True and opposite dreams. If you dream of a dried or cut reed, then this promises misfortune.
- Burning reeds are a harbinger of betrayal and deception. A person should be on his guard, but it is unlikely that he can avoid trouble. Your life path can sharply turn off due to such shocks. Be careful.
findings
It doesn’t matter if you are a superstitious person or a skeptic, keeping a cane at your fingertips at home can be very dangerous. We have given a number of negative consequences that can be expected due to the penetration of this plant into the house. For those who prefer the aesthetic forms of reeds to prudence and still decide to put such a dried flower in a vase at home, there are several recommendations.
- Tear the reeds exclusively with protective gloves to avoid infection.
- Treat it with antiseptic solutions while still on the street to avoid getting into the house of diseases.

In any case, whether it is possible to keep reeds in the house is up to you.
