What not to do after sunset: it can bring trouble and misfortune
Long ago, our ancestors realized that the darkness that comes after the sun disappears behind the horizon hides certain dangers. SSPDaily explains why it is not recommended to engage in certain activities after sunset to prevent possible troubles.
Counting money
It is believed that working with money at this time will cause financial difficulties and even lead to complete poverty. People who ignore this prohibition may inadvertently bring financial difficulties to themselves.
Swimming in open water
According to Slavic myths and legends, supernatural creatures such as merman and mermaids live in water bodies. It is said that disturbing the water at night can provoke these creatures, which will lead to sad consequences.
Sweeping the house
Sweeping is not only meant to keep the house clean, but also has a spiritual purpose - to eliminate negative energy from the house. However, this practice changes after sunset. It is believed that sweeping in the evening does not expel negative energy, but positive energy, which is associated with happiness, health, love, and material well-being.
Wash the dishes
According to popular belief, washing dishes and other household chores should be done either before sunset or at dawn. Performing these tasks late in the evening is considered unfavorable, as it can attract misfortune, illness, and even betrayal.
