Sugar is not just crystals that dissolve in tea.

There are many signs and superstitions associated with sugar, and it makes sense to examine the most popular ones in a little more detail, because they are of key importance.

Fortune telling on sugar

Grandmothers and great-grandmothers often used sugar for fortune telling.

By scattering a little sugar on the table, one could predict the future.

Symbols and patterns formed by crystals were interpreted as signs, harbingers of events, or even clues from a mysterious world.

Of course, these signs still need to be read correctly, and this is not so easy to do.

Sugar stock

There are many beliefs associated with how sugar is used in cooking.

For example, if sugar runs out in the house, it can be considered a sign of instability or failure.

Older generations often advise keeping an excess supply of sugar to avoid financial difficulties.

Sweet amulet

For centuries, sugar was believed to have magical powers to attract happiness and love. Some even created sweet amulets.

Of course, this sign had a rational explanation, because in the past it was extremely difficult to find sugar in abundance.

Spilled sugar

There is a belief that if you spill sugar on the floor or table, it will lead to quarrels and misunderstandings in the house.

In this case, it must be collected immediately using a rag.

You can’t just collect sugar with your hands, because, according to popular belief, this can attract bad luck.
