Home wellness writer Amiya Baratan at LIvingetc has revealed the top superstitions that affect home movers, from the luckiest day to move to bringing in auspicious items into the new home.
Thursday is said to be the luckiest day to move, but it is also a practical time, as including the weekend, there are four days to unpack and sort. Though Thursday is a lucky moving day, it also tends to be when removal services are less busy, making them more likely to be available.
There are several items that you can bring into your home that some believe add luck. These include bread, salt, and fruit. Conversely, bringing an old broom into a new home is unlucky as it contains old energy and problems. Throw away your old mops and brushes and buy new ones.
Plant herbs by the front door. Basil protects the home, and rosemary banishes evil spirits.
To increase luck, always step into the new home for the first time with your right foot forward. In some cultural traditions, the right side of the body is purer.
Many thoroughly clean their new home before unpacking. Burning sage or incense adds to the cleaning process by removing negative energy left behind by the previous residents.
Whether you are superstitious or not, there is no need to rely on luck or chance when choosing a removals service. For house removals in Liverpool and beyond, you can rely on Merseyside Movers & Storers to safely transport your belongings to your new home.
