As departure approaches and your suitcases are packed, it's important to heed an old belief: avoid sewing, especially if you need to fix a suddenly torn button. Picking up a needle at this time is thought to invite misfortune during travel. But is there validity to this superstition?
Many people believe that sewing before traveling is a bad omen. This belief stems from various concerns that have developed over time.
Potential Problems from Sewing Before Travel
First, during the hustle and bustle of preparing for a trip, you may find yourself sewing on a button or patching a hole in your clothing. This last-minute mending can leave you in a bad mood, which might lead to serious problems and misunderstandings while you travel.
Second, if you focus on mending your clothing, you can easily get stuck in the task and miss your train or plane, causing unnecessary stress.
Third, when working with a needle, you might become so engrossed in sewing that you forget or overlook something important. This distraction can lead to even more complications during your journey.
Risks of Sewing in Haste
Additionally, hasty sewing while wearing the garment can result in injuries, which is certainly unwise before traveling. Even worse than injuring yourself, using a needle on your clothing can damage your energy sheath, potentially leading to negative energy. Recovering from this damage can take time.
Addressing the Omen
If, despite popular omens, you decide to sew before departing, you can say a protective spell: “I am walking - your name with me, the Holy Spirit, God's seal on me, I do not take the enemy with me. Amen.” This can serve as a safeguard against any misfortune associated with sewing before travel.
