A man cannot understand why a woman takes so long to choose a handbag. Their number raises even more questions. And women understand each other without words, because they are united by a common attitude towards handbags. But then not everyone treats women’s accessories the same way. Not everyone, for example, attaches importance to where they put their handbag. And the object that was so carefully chosen turns out to be either on the table or on the floor. And in vain! You can't put them here!
To understand why, we need to remember how accessories were treated in the past.
How the tradition of treating bags began
Our ancestors treated the objects of their everyday life with special attention. And besides, they endowed them with almost magical powers. This reverent attitude gave rise to a number of signs. Sometimes their meaning is completely unclear. But as a rule, everything can be explained by simple logic.
Before the advent of modern bags and wallets, people used string bags, bags or special pockets in which they put money and various small things.
Such an accessory was hidden under clothes or tied to a belt to protect against theft and accidental loss.
Many centuries have passed since then, but the purpose of today's bags, backpacks, and clutches remains the same. A special attitude towards them remains.
Why is there no place for a bag on the floor?
In ancient times, string bags and knapsacks had not only practical significance, but also were a symbol of material wealth, savings. That is why they had to be treated appropriately, with attention and respect.
In no case you couldn't throw your bag on the floor. It was believed that negative energy accumulated underfoot, which could cause poverty and discord, and attract misfortune.
In addition, any item without proper supervision was an easy target for thieves.
IMPORTANT! Feng Shui masters claim that a bag left on the floor promises women conflicts with loved ones and disappointment in them. And for men - problems, misunderstandings at work and financial losses.
Many people in the modern world are still influenced by signs and try not to put their accessories on the floor. Perhaps this is a subconscious belief in the likelihood of possible material losses.
The reason for this may also be simple practicality. Usually, the floor is the dirtiest place in any room. The bag may get dirty. Therefore, according to the rules of etiquette, It’s better to put it on a special shelf or hang it on the back of a chair.
Why you shouldn't put your bag on the table
Since ancient times, the center of any home, the gathering place for the whole family, has been the dining table. It was associated with well-being, prosperity and mutual understanding.
REFERENCE. Our ancestors called this most important piece of furniture “the palm of God extended to people.”
At the same time, spiritual values, and not material ones, were considered the main wealth of a person. People believed that money had negative energy. And therefore they have no place on the table next to God-given dishes.
IMPORTANT! A knapsack or purse placed on the table promised conflicts in the family, debts, unrequited love, or even serious illness. Neglecting a sign foreshadowed imminent disaster for a person.
One way or another, any superstition is criticized. Modern skeptics argue that the bag should not be placed on the table for one reason only - for reasons of hygiene. The accessory has no place where people eat.
Continuing the tradition is up to you
To believe or not to believe in omens? Should we trust and follow the life experience of our forefathers or be guided only by logic? Everyone makes their own choice.
But even if it is possible to logically explain certain superstitions, subconsciously I still want to follow them. After all, these are not just ancient fairy tales, but an essential part of our culture and mentality.
Therefore, make sure that your purse does not end up on the floor. And it’s better not to put it on the table!

But where should we put her, this precious one?

YOU CAN PUT ANYWHERE YOU WANT
And you can’t put it on the door handle either, otherwise it will go through the door?)))
Putting bags on the table (as well as putting gloves, hats, keys, etc.), I agree, is not nice, not respectful of others, not mannered (although I allow some exceptions). And if you hang it on the back of a chair, then the bag can outweigh it: now there are such bags and such chairs. Of course, it is most correct when there is a separate shelf or attachment. But if they are not there, then you can either put the bag on your own chair (since occupying a separate chair is also not good according to the label), which is not always comfortable, or just put it on the floor (especially with modern bags this is exactly where case, “legs” are provided! And this is just according to the rules of etiquette. And there is no need to support superstitions either from a Christian or an ethical point of view!
