Who hasn’t encountered their broom at the end of the evening to clean up the living room before going to bed? Yet, this simple rountine has for centuriesde developed a true spiritual enigma: is sweeping at night really a good idea? According to many common beliefs, this act could well have an unexpected impact on the harmony of your home..
A tradition with ancient roots
In many parts of the world, sweeping a house at night is much more than just a normal household gesture. In China, for example, this practice is considered to ward off luck and blessings. The idea? The broom, by sweeping away dust, could also sweep away good fortune, especially at nightfall, a symbolic time of withdrawal and energy recharge.
Mysterious stories that cross cultures
Some Latin American legends shared that night is the favorite time of protective or… disruptive spirits. These invisible beings, according to the stories, do not encourage anyone disturbing the energy of the home during their “rounds.” In Europe, it is the sprites and supernatural creatures who, it is said, flee homes that are too noisy or anarchical after sunset.
Everyone has their own sensibilities, but these stories have forged entire generations of little nocturnal rituals… or silent prohibitions.
