Other peruvian “Cábalas”

Here we tell you about rituals that are not so common, but that you should do them.

Joy:
The most important thing is to spend the 12 o’clock cheerful, thinking about the good things you want for this new year and with the people you love the most.

Get under the table:
Doing this at midnight will assure you love!

Bay leaf:
Put a bay leaf in your wallet and pockets to attract love. In addition, the laurel is used as a protection amulet, so you can leave it for as long as you want.

Wish list:
Before New Year, make a list of all the things you would like to get in this 2022. You must be specific with what you write, so that the universe will take care of making it come true.

Burn the negative!
Write on a piece of paper everything bad that happened to you during the year and everything you want to get rid of or don’t want to happen and burn it on the 31st.

Bills Cabals:
Another thing to do to attract money is to always spend 12 o’clock with money or bills in your pockets or wallet. If you plan to put several in your wallet, make sure they are in order from largest to smallest and all facing the same side.

Following the previous point, throw away all receipts or tickets that do not serve you, because they keep the money away. Also, you should avoid old and old clothes or things, both for your outfit and for your home.
 

New Year’s rituals for the house:

Clean your house:
This is done to eliminate all the negative and “old” and give way to the good and new things that life has for you. Therefore, wash, clean and sweep your whole house so that you have to eliminate bad vibes. According to Forbes, this is also related to Feng Shui beliefs. It should be noted that you should sweep from the inside out and throw the garbage out, not leave it inside.

Lights:
The light and brightness that will radiate from your house will be the same that attracts success to your life! Leave the lights on during New Year’s Eve.

Open your windows!
Also open the doors and windows to let all the prosperity come into your home.

Change of garment:
To keep love, it is said that you should change one garment that you wear with your partner to stay together for the whole year.

Sit down and stand up: You should sit down and stand up from your chair 12 times at the 12 chimes of midnight to attract marriage forever.

Traveling:
Many Peruvians also believe that it is a good moment to spend the New Year in the car, moving or traveling somewhere new.

If you are one of those who love to travel, remember that New Year’s Eve coincides with the summer season in Peru, so you can enjoy the northern beaches as well as the beaches of Lima.
