The Slavic peoples there are a great many different signs. Most of them seem reasonable to a sensible person, but nevertheless a considerable part of citizens strictly adhere to all sorts of superstitions, secretly or explicitly. They try to bypass the black cat, gently take salt from the salt shaker, don’t pass things over the threshold, don’t borrow money at night and do not sweep the floor for three days after the departure of close relatives. Among all these, there are signs that one cannot take out the trash in the evening.
For some reason, she uses special love and respect among males. Today we will talk about where this superstition came from, and, in fact, why you can’t take out the trash in the evening.
Naturally, all such signs, signs and omens arose and took root among the people a long time ago, even under the "king of peas." Then people were rather ignorant and especially subject to all sorts of "otherworldly" influences. For example, one of the explanations for why it is impossible to take out the garbage in the evening is this: in a garbage can sometimes contain personal belongings of a person throwing trash. Accordingly, they are saturated with its energy, enclose a part of its life force, have a strong connection with it. And if you take out the trash in the evening, the omen claims that witches, sorcerers and other evil spirits will certainly take advantage of this and will surely cause damage in the form of illness, a crown of celibacy, financial problems and the like of misfortunes. Why don't they do it in the morning? Everything is simple! After all, it is night that is considered time suitable for magic and all kinds of devilry, so most evil deeds, including witchcraft, are done just under the cover of darkness. So, if you are afraid of becoming a victim of otherworldly forces, leave a bin in the house at night.
Other reason
There is another explanation of why garbage cannot be taken out in the evening. The reason for this is unfriendly neighbors, those very nice grannies who are always so sincerely concerned about other people's secrets. Think for yourself, what a normal person is looking at night instead of sitting peacefully in front of the TV and drinking tea with buns, dragging a bucket of garbage into the street? No, he definitely has something to hide! He probably hid some terrible things in the bucket, possibly even criminal evidence, and wants to get rid of them until no one sees it. But be calm, the vigilant neighbors do not sleep and be sure to discuss your "skeletons in the closet" with friends on the bench the next day. Based on the second theory, take out garbage at night - to gossip and gossip.
There is a third interpretation of why garbage cannot be taken out in the evening. Ostensibly, the garbage attracts evil spirits to itself, and they flock to a full bucket, like flies to honey. Accordingly, there are good spirits that come to your house at night to protect the peace and sleep of its owners. And if there is garbage in the house, and around it there are evil forces, then good creatures simply cannot enter. Therefore, you should prepare for their appearance and in advance, that is, before dark, throw out the garbage. In the evening it will be too late, and good spirits, having failed to enter the dwelling, will retire. Therefore, it makes no sense to take out the garbage at night, all the same to no avail.
A few more explanations
Well, according to ancient Eastern Feng Shui teachings, throwing out garbage in the evening is a loss of money. True, the reasons are not explained.
In general, there are more than enough reasons to justify human laziness! However, there is one more, perhaps the most reliable sign, which says that a full trash bin left overnight in the house is for cockroaches.
Conclusion
It is up to you to decide which of the above omens to listen to.
