The symbolism of embroidery is based for the most part on the symbolism of Feng Shui - the science of harmony with environment, mainly with interior items. Many people are quite skeptical about it. But even if you don’t take Feng Shui seriously, the theory of visualization still remains. The magic of stitches really works. But witchcraft, of course, does not lie in the hands of the embroiderer, not in the floss, not in the needle and canvas. It is in

Linen fabric is best suited for making protective embroidery, but if you can’t buy linen, you can take fabric made from any natural fiber: wool, cotton, silk, nettle.

The threads should also be natural and bright; cotton is most often used, but if possible, you can enhance the effect of the amulet using the composition of the thread.

Silk is suitable for embroidery for good luck and wealth;

Basic rules for embroidering a talisman

Amulets embroidered by relatives, especially mothers, for children are more powerful. On days of poor health or bad mood, it is better not to engage in protective embroidery; the creation of a sacred item occurs under the influence of the energy field of the craftswoman.

Create a talisman only in a good mood and concentrating on the positive! - This is the basis of magical embroidery.

For the amulet to be valid, several simple conditions must be met.

Protective embroidery is created by hand without using a hoop.

Knots in the design canvas impede the free flow of energy and weaken the sacred meaning of the chosen symbol. When making protective embroidery, try to avoid knots on the reverse side.

Tear off the thread with your hands or burn it over the flame of a wax candle; when using scissors, you can harm the energy of the person for whom the man-made talisman is intended.

The embroidery always starts from the middle; the gradual filling of the canvas with a pattern simultaneously gives the embroidered shirt strength.

When interrupting work, wrap it in a white piece of cloth and put it in a secluded place.

Unfinished work must not be shown or placed on a bed or other sleeping place.

If during production the craftswoman accidentally pricks her finger with a needle, except her thumb, then the work will be successful. If a large one is damaged, expect trouble.

To activate the amulet, you need symbols of all the elements, if it is not possible to go into the forest and take advantage of the natural elements:

candle fire;

a little earth or pebble;

glass or clay pot with clean water(preferably spring);

Girls, I became interested in the signs in embroidery, started looking for information, everything was in parts, many repeated the same thing, I decided to combine and supplement. I present to you what came out of this. I look forward to your comments and ratings.

ABOUT EMBROIDERY IN THE HOUSE.
Designers advise not to hang pictures too high. It's better to place them a little lower than we usually want at first. Works that are at eye level force you to examine them carefully, without rushing. It is very important to consider the proportions of the room. If the apartment has high ceilings, then small paintings should be placed in groups. Experts say that this is a very effective and widespread technique.
Let's look at a few principles for grouping paintings:

1. You should avoid placing frames in order of increasing or decreasing size, as this violates the integrity of the composition.
2. Embroideries that are close in size can be arranged according to the principle of a strictly symmetrical “grid”, and works of different sizes can be arranged in tiers
3. You can also “link” the location of the paintings to the width of the sofa, low cabinet or table, then they will be perceived as a single whole with the furniture
4. Bright, eye-catching paintings look most impressive when hung separately and in prominent places
5. Arranging two pictures different sizes horizontally, it is necessary to place the larger one a little higher so that the small picture is easier to view

Children's
The world of childhood is much more emotional than the world of adults. When choosing paintings for a children's room, one must take into account that the tastes and interests of children change quite quickly as they grow older, therefore, paintings should be updated every two to three years. The choice of painting depends on the age of the child. Small children can hang pictures with positive heroes fairy tales and cartoons. Very important advice: do not overload the nursery with paintings! This makes the child nervous.

Bedroom
An atmosphere of peace and tranquility is important for the bedroom. This is the part of our home where we want to relax and unwind. Therefore, the embroidered paintings here should be in the appropriate mood. The landscapes are good, especially in winter. You should not place portraits or images of naked women in the bedroom, as they will create the effect of the presence of a third person, which, of course, is of no use in such a situation. intimate place. Designers advise single or divorced women to hang something bright and life-affirming on the wall.

Kitchen
Paintings in the kitchen should not be large. Still lifes are usually chosen for this room. In the East, it is believed that paintings in the dining room depicting fruits and dishes bring abundance.

Cabinet
Stylish black and white embroideries look good in such a room. But calm landscapes with rivers and village houses make it difficult to concentrate.

Living room
In the living room, two or three paintings depicting landscapes or water are enough. According to the advice of experts, in the living room it is very important to comply with the museum standard: 152 cm from the floor. Visually, this is the most convenient height for a detailed assessment of our embroidered masterpieces.

Hallway
In a small hallway of a typical apartment, light, small-sized work is more appropriate. For a spacious hall-hallway, suitable large paintings. In any case, people usually do not stay in this room for a long time, and therefore embroidered paintings rather serve as a color accent, a decorative tuning fork of the interior, rather than being of key importance in the design.

Decorated embroidery is most often placed on the wall in the form of a picture in a frame. At the same time, you can decorate the interior of your home with a composition of such pictures that will be the same in theme or, conversely, completely different. It is not necessary to place the embroidery in similar frames; they can be completely different in style and material from which they are made. Some even hang the embroidery on a cord without placing it in a frame, for example, when it is made on a plastic canvas, but the design must be combined with wallpaper or the color and texture of the wall.
You can place large pictures in the center and small ones around it, you can hang them in one line, but these are standard solutions that you can refuse. Instead of these options, you can hang pictures without observing any symmetry: mix large ones with small ones, place them on the wall in such a way that they fit perfectly with each other and in a slight creative disorder. No matter how the embroideries are placed, it is necessary to ensure that their colors and design blend well with the decor, that is, with furniture and lighting. It is not recommended to hang small pictures on different walls; it is best to combine them with large ones or group them together into a single composition.
When placing pictures on walls with wallpaper, you need to be careful to ensure that the pattern and colors of the embroidery do not merge with the wallpaper, but are combined with them and at the same time stand out against the general background.
Many people wonder at what height to hang embroidery and where is the best place to place it. This depends on the size of the painting, the size of the room, the height of the ceiling and what is being depicted in the painting. If there is a large landscape embroidered in the painting, it is best to hang it opposite a sofa, armchair or other seating area to create the illusion of a view from the window. A small painting of a basket of flowers or a still life of fruit works well above a table as it appears as if it is on the table. Small pictures are best hung above tables, bedside tables or chests of drawers to emphasize their importance. Large-sized paintings are more convenient to view while standing, so they need to be hung in a place where anyone can calmly enjoy this work. In general, all pictures should be placed at such a height that they are clearly visible and fit perfectly with the interior. You should not hang all embroidered works on one wall, it looks clumsy and unnatural.

EMBROIDERY AND SIGNS

We all love to embroider. Some people like landscapes, some like houses, some like to embroider flowers, and some like animals... But not everyone thinks about what this or that picture we embroidered means. According to the ancient Chinese teaching Feng Shui, every thing in the house, including an embroidered picture, can bring love, happiness, harmony to this house, or, conversely, can be the cause of failure, ruin and infidelity of spouses. So, what signs exist in the embroidery world?

GENERAL:
*before starting embroidery, you need to write your desire on the canvas with a pencil, and as if it has already come true: that is, I don’t want my own apartment, but I have my own apartment, etc.
*you cannot embroider for one single purpose so that the sign works, so to speak, without a soul. Thoughts must be sincere, pure, and come from the heart. You need to put love into every stitch, imagine your wishes come true, you need to love your work, and then it will help you make your dreams come true. Soulless works do not fulfill desires - they do not contain the necessary supply of energy. Also, you should not embroider in a bad mood, irritation, to calm your nerves - the thread will get tangled, tear, the crosses will refuse to lie flat, and the “sewn in” bad emotions will haunt you until you resurface this area with love
*if you are embroidering and prick yourself with a needle, it means you need to look for a mistake in the embroidery - either the crosses are displaced, or there is an error in tone
*It is not recommended to embroider sunsets, since such paintings bring sunsets of good luck.
*Start embroidering only on a fine day on a waxing moon. The most favorable for thread magic are the 7th, 10th, 11th, 12th and 14th lunar days.
Quote: Purely from myself - I would not recommend starting on the 12th day. I myself try to start on the 10th day (if I embroider with an intention). And if it’s “little things”, then I just start with the waxing moon.

*You cannot put embroidery on the bed. Otherwise, the process will drag on for a long time.
*Remember that thoughts are material. When embroidering a picture for yourself or as a gift, knowing that it symbolizes what you wish for the recipient or yourself, think about it, imagine your wish fulfilled and, we are sure, everything will come true!
*It is not recommended to keep any birds (except live ones) in the house - this will lead to “loneliness” and will prevent guests from coming to your house.
* If knots are tied on the thread while working, this means that at this moment “the boys are praising”, that is, men are talking about you, and, what’s the strangest thing, they say good things...

1. Career and work (north)
According to the ancient Chinese teachings of Feng Shui, in order for embroidered paintings to not only decorate your home (apartment), but also help, you should place the paintings in the northern part of the house (in the “Career and Work” sector).
Activating this sector will help you climb the career ladder, increase your earnings, get the job you want, or change your profession.

TURTLE is the most common talisman for the Career zone. The turtle is a symbol of heavenly support and protection, as well as wisdom and longevity; it brings money and support from useful people.
UNDERWATER WORLD, LANDSCAPES depicting the SEA, LAKE, RIVER, WATERFALL or FISH, ANY WATER MOTIF are considered favorable in the northern part of the house, but they can also be placed in the study (office), but not behind the back of the worker. In the bedroom, paintings depicting water are strictly prohibited, as they can ruin romantic luck.
LANDSCAPE depicting MOUNTAINS, TREES is recommended to be placed behind the back of a person working in a house, office or office, since the mountain will provide solid support in business and affairs.
MOUNTAINS - to attract success in business, it is good to place them in the north, but not with sharp peaks and without water.
A HORSE that strives upward means the onset of favorable changes in life, symbolizes speed, endurance, and optimism. If you want to switch to a better one in monetary terms work, it is worth embroidering a horse, and if there is a bag of gold on the horse’s back, it will bring you material well-being.
Embroidery with a DEER will help careerists. He, like the horse, is a symbol of the sun, happiness and prosperity.
For those hungry for power, the EAGLE is a symbol of courage, success and a sharp mind.

2 Love and marriage (southwest)
In search of a soul mate or maintaining a harmonious relationship with an already found one, you should place paintings in the bedroom or the southwestern part of the house (in the “Love and Marriage” sector).

ANEMONES - symbolize sincerity.
PANSIES - happiness, the desire to always be close to your loved one.
ASTER - love and tenderness.
IRISES - faith and hope, promise for the future.
Lilies of the valley - humility, humility.
White LILY - purity, yellow - gratitude.
MAGNOLIAS - dignity.
POPPIES and POPPY FIELDS (and other flower fields) - to “male power”.
YELLOW DADDLES - respect, “you are the only one.”
FORGET MENT - true love.
ORCHIDS - perfection, refined beauty.
PEONIES are great for meeting your loved one. According to Feng Shui, peony is a flower of joy, a symbol of exquisite passion and carnal love. It is the most favorable symbol for young married couples. The image of a peony in the bedroom or in the Love sector is a wonderful talisman, but its beneficial effect is only relevant in the first years of marriage. When children are born and a young wife becomes a mother, peonies in the bedroom begin to symbolize infidelity. That is, it is better to embroider peonies for couples who do not yet have children, so as not to provoke infidelity in marriage. Therefore, after several years of a happy marriage, you should replace the embroidery with another one. If a woman is divorced and has children, then you can safely place peonies. Of course, if you want to meet your destiny.
Red ROSES symbolize passionate and devoted love, pink and white - purity of thoughts, roses without thorns - love at first sight.
LILAC - beauty.
Red TULIPS - good luck, yellow - wishes for happiness in love.
VIOLETS - loyalty and virtue.
A PAIR of embroidered animals or birds - two doves, cranes, storks, ducks, wolves - contributes to meeting your soul mate, as well as family well-being. Pair of SWANS - to family happiness and loyalty. Two DOLPHINS - family happiness and prosperity. A couple of DUCKS - find family comfort and harmony in marriage. A pair of DOVES is also an excellent talisman for this sector, a symbol of immortal love. It is especially good if a picture with a pair of WOLVES hangs in the house; it promotes family well-being, strong love and fidelity.
A PAIR of people - a man and a woman - is a symbol of love and fidelity, ideally they should hold hands or kiss. It is not recommended for married couples to hang embroidery or paintings depicting single people at home.
GOLDEN WEDDING RINGS on a red background will help speed up your wedding.
PAVA BIRD symbol of family happiness
UNICORN - if embroidered unmarried girl, then she will get married in the near future. Symbolizes long life, celebration, splendor, joy, famous descendants and wisdom!!!
BUTTERFLIES - it is recommended to decorate the bedroom walls with fluttering butterflies to intensify romantic relationships. Butterflies in the bedroom will help lonely people quickly improve their lives and keep the fire of existing relationships alive. Butterflies should be placed in pairs or flocks to create the impression that they have flown naturally into your room.
WEDDING RUSHNIK - especially good is the one where there is a pair of birds; traditional family symbols were considered to be images of storks on a nest, pairs of doves (necessarily with their beaks facing each other), a wreath of viburnum and hop leaves.
PHOENIX - a symbol of prosperity, symbolizes the warmth of the sun, summer and fire. The Phoenix paired with the Dragon is depicted during weddings as a symbol of a fruitful union, happy marriage and healthy children!!!
In order to get married successfully, you must first embroider a ROOSTER, the more beautiful the better. And then he and the hen and chickens, then the marriage will not be civil, but naturally official for life. But it is not recommended for married roosters to embroider and hang in their home.
One of the symbols that attracts love is, of course, the HEART. For some reason, nothing is written about the heart in embroidery symbols, although in Feng Shui it is one of the powerful talismans. And “heart trees” have also become very popular lately. True, embroiderers advise treating these hearty plants with caution - on the horizon, instead of the only narrowed one, new and former annoying admirers may appear in large numbers.
Series from the Golden Fleece with eyes: Topaz, diamond, amethyst, emerald, etc. - to attract males to the house
And there is also a sign for lovers: if you want to get married quickly, embroider an outline pair based on Ty Wilson.
I read in other sources about the Vervaco kiss. This embroidery was for pregnancy in one way, and for a wedding in another, which is both nice.
An embroidered painting based on Klimt's "The Kiss" helps to enhance feelings between spouses.
They say that a “stranger” from the “Golden Fleece” helps single girls meet their betrothed. However, if you don’t like this picture, you can embroider any other image of a man.

* You cannot give embroidered work to your beloved man whom you are going to marry.
* Girls who do not want to be left alone are not advised to embroider single female portraits. To avoid undesirable consequences, it is recommended to select a set with portrait of a man, embroider it and hang both works together.
*Images of lonely (even worse undressed) women in the bedroom contribute to adultery and separation from your loved one

3. Family (east)
This sector is responsible for family affairs, relationships between parents and children, grandmothers and grandchildren. It is also necessary to keep in mind that it energizes the neighboring Wealth sector.

Three TURTLES standing on top of each other are a symbol of family unity, in which everyone supports and cares for each other. The largest turtle is the head of the family, on whom the entire house rests. A pyramid of turtles brings peace and tranquility to the family.
HERON - symbolizes perseverance and support; it will help you survive in the most hopeless situation. Because of its long beak, the heron is known as a curious creature and a clever hunter.
Therefore, a talisman in the form of a heron will provide assistance in raising money and in education. The heron is used as a guardian of the hearth, tribal traditions and customs. On the other hand, the heron symbolizes the arrival of spring and changes in life, therefore it promotes favorable changes in life and helps to bring happiness into the home.

Amulets for the home:
Oddly enough, these are wild animals - the TIGER is a protector from evil spirits, symbolizes strength and power,
LEO is the protector of the home and public places, symbolizes energy and valor, WOLF - protector, symbolizes loyalty (the wolf should be facing away from its owner towards the door or window to stop or redirect negative energy from the owner). It is better if the animal is depicted not baring its teeth, but also not sleeping - on guard. If in the picture the animal is depicted grinning, the energy can, on the contrary, cause harm to the inhabitants of the house.
Another protector of the house DOG, to protect the home embroidery with true friend It is better to hang a person on the wall in the corridor opposite the door.
A BAT, or more precisely 5 bats, are 5 blessings: longevity, wealth, health, virtue and life to the end determined by fate.
Another talisman is the DREAM CATCHER. Hanging above the head of the bed or close to it, it promotes good sleep and good dreams. An Indian talisman, in the form of a web, in their opinion, it does not let in evil spirits that cause chaos in the mind and, thereby, does not allow nightmares to form.
FAN - Traditional symbol of protection. Protects not only the house, but also the person himself from harm
It is often not recommended to embroider images of relatives and friends - because sometimes it happens that embroidery is created in a bad mood and not with the most positive thoughts, and all anxieties and fears can be “transferred” to an image that becomes the focus of negativity. Something like this.

Numismatic collections should not be stored in this sector. Ancient coins and banknotes, which have long gone out of circulation, accumulate stagnant energy that will “pull” your family back, making you more conservative, preventing you from accepting new views, searching for non-trivial solutions, etc. Minimize the number of metal objects in this part of the house, in order to avoid conflict of elements: excess Metal “cuts” Wood (symbol of this sector). Ideally, according to Feng Shui, there should be no Metal there at all.

4. Money, wealth, luck in business (southeast)
It is advisable to place such a picture in the south-eastern part of the house (in the “Wealth” zone).

A SAILBOAT is embroidered to bring good luck in business. It means the symbolic “arrival” of good luck in the house. You need to embroider a beautiful, powerful and outwardly reliable ship. It is important that the sailboat has its nose facing the inside of the house, that is, it is “arriving.”
The embroidered CAR has repeatedly helped embroiderers to acquire a four-wheeled friend. You can embroider any car - from a Ferrari to an antique Opel 1898, but it’s still worth remembering that thoughts and desires materialize
GOLDFISH symbolizes success in financial matters.
CARP. Image of 9 carps - symbolizes wealth and prosperity, 2 carps - harmonious relationships between a man and a woman, and 2 carp jumping out of the water are considered the most powerful symbol of good luck in career and business.

According to Feng Shui, it is recommended to place a horseshoe or a picture of a horseshoe with the ends up, then it will attract great luck to your home. And if, according to the old Russian tradition, ends down - protection of the house from all sorts of adversity.
MONEY TREE - to wealth and the attraction of money, but only if it is embroidered correctly. According to Feng Shui, there must be an odd number of coins on the tree (otherwise the money will decrease rather than increase). It is best if there are 9 coins. The coins must have a square hole in the middle and hieroglyphs connected by a red thread. An odd number of flowers, preferably 3, the flowers should be like cherry blossoms. The tree should hang opposite the front door so that money goes into the house. In addition to a special “Feng Shui” tree, a painting depicting any other tree that has a blooming, cheerful appearance is suitable for the role of a talisman of wealth. Autumn tree with falling leaves can have the opposite, negative effect.

It is better to place it in the wealth zone (southeastern sector). It needs to be positioned as if she is jumping into the house (carrying money into the house, not out of it).
RAT - symbolizes wealth, prosperity and well-being.
ELEPHANT is a favorable Feng Shui animal. It attracts the luck of an auspicious star. Thanks to its trunk, an elephant can reach something from afar. This ability is used in Feng Shui to draw the luck of the auspicious star of prosperity into the house. If a favorable star is located right at the entrance and all the luck enters through the door, this is wonderful, but it is extremely rare. In other cases, you can resort to the help of an elephant. The elephant is placed on the windowsill, with its trunk in the direction of a good star, and it draws good luck from the street through the window into the house.
WATERFALL - not very good symbol(downward flow symbol), those. deterioration of the current condition, and above all financial, if you have already chosen a waterfall, then let the image not be cropped.

But still, the highest symbol of luck that brings success in business is the DRAGON. Moreover, the brighter it is, the more noticeable your achievements will be.

If a dragon doesn't have a pearl, it gets angry and doesn't bring good luck.
Also, embroidery with the image of SWALLOWS is designed to attract success and abundance.
Another talisman is MANEKI-NEKO. I think many people are familiar with these Japanese cats. This is a rather complex symbol and there is no exact definition. The most common belief is that if a cat's right paw is raised, it attracts money, while the right paw attracts good luck. A maneki-neko with its right paw raised can also be a good mascot for a company - this mascot lures customers. The maneki-neko should have a coin on its neck. As for the color, it can be very diverse, but the classic one is tricolor, white with spots.

An embroidered HOUSE will help you buy a house, cottage, or apartment. The house can be of any size, but it is still recommended to embroider the kind of house in which you would like to live. For some it is cozy house in the village, surrounded by flowers and trees, and for some luxury mansion. Any building will help improve living conditions. But the basic principle of Feng Shui says: all thoughts materialize, what you strive for is what you get. Therefore, looking at the house of your dreams, every time you will experience positive emotions and get closer to your cherished goal.. It doesn’t matter whether it is a kit from some company, embroidery according to a pattern, cross stitch, tapestry stitch or satin stitch. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a rural hut or a luxurious mansion. Any building will help improve living conditions. According to the experience of embroiderers - both small pictures and grandiose buildings were embroidered - the sign works. It is best to place this painting in the living room in a visible, well-lit place or in the south-eastern part of the house (in the “Wealth” sector).
There are legends about the Dimensions 13666_Victorian Charm house - that it is “miraculous”.
It is recommended to start embroidery on a favorable lunar day (the 7th, 10th, 11th and 14th lunar days are considered ideal for starting any embroidery). When embroidering a picture, it is recommended to imagine your dream and clearly understand why you are doing it. That is, put a piece of your soul, a piece of yourself, a piece of your dream into each cross. It is recommended to choose a picture for embroidery, first of all, according to your inner feelings - so that you like the house, so that your soul lies in it, you need to understand that this is exactly “your house”, that you want to live in it.
There are also wishes and preferences for the houses themselves. In order for the house to “work” 100%, you need to pay attention to the following:
* the house should look residential, i.e. there should be light in the windows (and in no case should they be dark)
* it is desirable that smoke comes from the chimney
* the preferred season in the picture is spring or summer. Autumn is considered the personification of withering, and winter is considered a period of stagnation and delay in business.
* the house must completely fit in the picture
* there should be a path leading to the house, and a winding one at that; the path to the house should come from us, and not from somewhere on the side, i.e., so that we can follow this path to the house (note that the path to the house is open! For example, there should not be any ravines, rivers, etc. - anything that blocks the path).
* the door of the house should be red (brick as an option) - to attract good luck
* if there is a gate, it must certainly be open
* the house should not be located behind a solid fence
* it’s good if there are lanterns near the house, preferably glowing ones (unless, of course, it’s a clear sunny day in the picture)
* the presence of a flower arch is also favorable.
These are the basic conditions. Of course, it will be difficult to find a ready-made pattern for embroidering a dream house, but no one is stopping us from changing something in the pattern, removing or adding some details. And I repeat once again, listen to yourself, to your feelings, and if you understand that this house is exactly yours, if the picture sings to you, touches your soul, if you can admire it for hours, feel free to start embroidering this house.

5. Health (center)
To stay HEALTHY AND STRONG or to become so, place the embroidery in the center of the house (in the “Health” zone). Although, no one has yet canceled a healthy diet and exercise))). It is also very useful to place all sorts of funny things and humorous pictures in the center of the house, because laughter is the best medicine

Perhaps the BEREZKA can be considered a Russian analogue - in ancient times, amulets made of birch protected from evil spirits, and birch brooms used in the bathhouse contributed to ritual cleansing.

On the other hand, it was believed that it was on birch branches that devils lived and mermaids swayed during mermaid week. (This is such an ambivalent attitude)
