From the older generation, many of us have learned that it is impossible to take out the trash can at dusk. Almost everybody heard about this sign, but not everyone knows where this superstition originates from. To get an answer to the question, it is necessary to investigate the mystical and very real reasons.
In ancient times, there was a popular belief among the people that with the onset of darkness, an unclean force was activated, and it was she who, through fresh garbage, could bring quarrels and discord into family relations.
In addition, it was believed that those who want to hide something from their neighbors took out the garbage at night.
Another reason for the ban was the belief in brownies, who protected the house from various troubles and misfortunes. If the tenants did not care about the order in their house and did not take out the garbage in a timely manner, then the good spirits and brownies could take offense and leave.
They tried to take out the garbage during the day also for the reason that a witch and a sorcerer, we could steal thrown things and make a conspiracy for various troubles, diseases, lack of money, and in some cases even death. By the way, in ancient times, people did not throw away their cut hair and nails, but preferred to bury them or burn them so that they could not be damaged.
In the modern interpretation, according to the knowledge of feng shui, it is forbidden to take out the garbage after sunset, because you take money and material well-being out of the house with the garbage.
According to esotericists, when people take out garbage, they take away a piece of its energy from the house. In a short night time, the energy balance does not have time to recover and a kind of loss arises - material well-being, happiness, health leave the house. Esotericists believe that it is imperative to take out the trash in the morning or afternoon.
Contemporaries interpret this sign in a more prosaic way: in the dark, the likelihood of stumbling in the dark, getting hurt, or meeting stray dogs or various asocial personalities at the garbage cans increases.
