Stitch by stitch, creating this or that image from threads, the embroiderer attracts certain event in your life or those of your loved ones. Embroidery is a special ceremony and signs in embroidery have special meaning, therefore, at all times it was not recommended to pick up a needle and thread in a bad mood, so as not to "weave failures for yourself." Knowing the symbolism of embroidery, you can get into the desired life changes.
Symbolism of flowers
When planning to create this or that embroidery, it is important to understand the symbolism of flowers. Blue colour symbolizes the sky and the higher self. By using this color in your thread picture, you thereby call for patronage higher power. White color traditionally - a symbol of purity and innocence, red - personifies the fiery element, passion, joy, thirst for life and helps to activate the energy around. The yellow color is responsible for the element of earth and will help in the implementation of all ideas. Black is associated with the infinity of space, eternity and change, and is also associated with the element of water.
Green color will bring success in financial affairs and help improve health. Orange color will give the necessary energy for the realization of all desires and in due time will open the necessary doors for this. Blue will help creative self-realization, revealing your talents and ability to persuade. Purple promotes the disclosure of superpowers, will help develop intuition and make the right decisions.
By choosing one or another color in the process of embroidery, you activate the power of various elements
So, the symbolism of flowers is clear. It is important to know and where to start creating a picture-amulet. On the growing moon, it is good on one of the first five days of the new moon to buy embroidery thread and a needle. You need to pay for the purchase either against the calculation, or simply not take the change. You need to return home without talking to anyone along the way until you cross the threshold of the house. This morning, before dawn, take a glass of running water and place it on the windowsill on the sunny side. When you return with your purchase, sprinkle the threads and needle with this water three times with the words: “For the right cause, for the right cause. What you think is what will happen. Right". After that, you need to make the first few stitches in the picture, and then embroider when it suits you.
The process of embroidery should not be a routine task for you. You need to put a special message into each stitch, then the picture-amulet will work one hundred percent.
Obviously, the symbolism of the picture needs to be decided in advance. If you are not strong in embroidery, you can use threads to make universal symbols of good luck, love, prosperity. For example, a square embroidered with green threads will contribute to financial stability, the red triangle will help the successful development of any business, the yellow circle will contribute to the realization of desires. A wavy line embroidered with silver threads will help you find your way and make the right decision. For those who are ready to embroider more complex images, it is important to get acquainted with the main symbolism of amulets.
For personal happiness
If your goal is to find a faithful life partner and get married, choose poppies for embroidery. A great option is a poppy field. In principle, a flower field is a symbol of male power. One of the most strong characters- peonies. These flowers will help harmonious development relationship of the newlyweds. And as soon as children appear in the family, it is better to change the embroidery with peonies to another symbolism. If in the early years life together these flowers will kindle passion, then after the appearance of offspring they can provoke infidelity. For example, you can replace peonies with an embroidered picture of a pair of doves, symbolizing loyalty and devotion.
Paired embroidery in the bedroom will help maintain the fire of passion between spouses
In addition to the flowers of luck in love, pairs of animals or birds will contribute. If this is a man and a woman, choose a plot where they hold hands and look at each other. If a girl wants to bring the wedding closer, she can embroider two wedding rings on a red canvas with gilded threads, lying one on top of the other. Another ancient sign is associated with the image of a unicorn. It is believed that if a girl, a woman, embroiders this rare animal, then it is guaranteed in the very near future.
The embroidered picture will become a personal talisman for love for the girl. The picture must be paired and made in warm colors.
Another symbol favorable for relationships is two butterflies. To strengthen the marriage and mutual fidelity of the spouses, you can embroider a pair of swans. For a happy marriage, a girl can first embroider a rooster, and then next to him a hen and chickens. It is believed that then the marriage will be official, and the spouses will live in perfect harmony. But married woman it is not recommended to embroider a rooster so that a love triangle does not arise.
By the way, there is such a sign - in no case should you give your fiance a hand-embroidered work, it is believed that this is for an unexpected parting.
Another one true omen among embroiderers - if a married couple has difficulty conceiving a child, the woman must embroider three angels. In the case when a woman experiences health problems, she can embroider a peach. The health of all family members will be kept by a pair of cranes flying over a pine tree.
For family well-being
A woman can bring good luck to herself and other members of her family by embroidering a sailboat, which literally symbolizes the arrival of good luck. Such a picture should be hung on the wall so that it is not located opposite the front door, but rather “looks” inside the house. In order for the family to always have money, it is good to embroider several goldfish, and even better carps. A running horse will also bring prosperity to the house. This embroidery also needs to be fixed on the wall looking inside the room. The same message is carried by an embroidery picture depicting sunflowers and a solar disk.
An embroidered basket with fruits and berries is a symbol of wealth and abundance. Place it in the kitchen.
For the kitchen and dining room, embroidered baskets of abundance are ideal - this is exactly the kind of energy they will attract into the house.
It is believed that the horse, in addition to financial well-being can also bring personal popularity. A picture depicting clusters of juicy grapes will bring abundance to the house. It is desirable to embroider it, of course, with your own hands and fix it on the wall in the kitchen. An image of an embroidered hummingbird is good to hang in the living room. This bird symbolizes the joy and enjoyment of life. For those who strive to be successful in professional activity, eagle or deer embroidery can be recommended. The eagle will contribute to rapid career growth, and the deer will improve professional skills and strengthen the position in the company.
Embroidering a tigress with a cub, a woman creates a charm for her child. You can embroider an image of a tiger on an apron for a boy as a symbol of courage, strength and perseverance, and a butterfly on an apron for a girl as a wish of happiness and good luck. If your goal is to reveal and enhance the creative abilities of a child, embroider an elephant with a cub, a symbol of intelligence, insight and prudence. Harmonious Relations between children and parents will be provided by the embroidery of a horse guarding a foal. The horse, in principle, is considered an animal that patronizes children.
The image of three turtles standing on top of each other is also considered a symbol of family well-being. Such a "pyramid" of turtles helps to strengthen relationships in the family, the growth of mutual understanding and cohesion. But the embroidered heron will help to survive in the most seemingly hopeless situation. Such a picture will contribute to the emergence of unexpected sources of income. In addition, the heron is a keeper hearth and family traditions.
For signs to work
If you have any cherished desire and for embroidery you have chosen a symbol that contributes to its fulfillment, briefly formulate it and write with a pencil on the embroidery canvas. Remember the main rule - write in the present tense, as if your plan has already been fulfilled. When you embroider, think about your desire, live it as if you are already a participant in the desired events. Be inside the image. So you invest in embroidery the energy necessary for the realization of desire. In fact, the embroidery process itself becomes a magical act in which subtle energies are actively involved. That's why it's so important to embroider in good mood only when you feel inspired.
The embroidery process must be conscious, then the embroidery-amulet will work
If you are in a good mood and the embroidery goes smoothly, but if in the process of embroidery you were badly pricked with a needle, there is such a sign that the canvas itself indicates errors in the pattern or the whole pattern. It is not customary for embroiderers to work with pictures of sunsets, it is believed that by embroidering such a picture, one's own luck will leave after the departing luminary.
The symbol of the highest luck is the dragon. Start embroidering it on the first day of the new moon. This picture will bring you great success.
It is believed that the most favorable days for embroidery are the seventh, tenth, eleventh, twelfth and fourteenth lunar days. It is an auspicious sign if there is a clear sky and good weather on the day of embroidery. Some embroiderers adhere to the rule - never leave an embroidery fabric on the bed, otherwise the process of fulfilling a wish can be very long.
There are a lot of embroidery symbols and any of them will work if you take the embroidery process seriously enough and consciously control emotions in the process of creating your own picture-amulet.
MEANING OF EMBROIDERY - symbols and signs in embroideryIf you love to embroider, then you probably thought about what this or that picture you embroidered means. This is especially important when embroidering as a gift, because you often want to give (to yourself or a friend) not just a beautiful picture, but also good luck, happiness, health and love. You can do this if you are guided when choosing a theme for embroidery embroidery signs and meanings of symbols according to Feng Shui.
There are a number of signs that many embroiderers know about.
Let's try to systematize them.
(1) Housing problem or what to embroider to expand living space
(buy a cottage, an apartment, get your own house).
An embroidered HOUSE contributes to the appearance of your home. It does not matter whether it is a set of some company, embroidery according to the scheme, cross stitch, tapestry stitch or satin stitch. It doesn't matter if it's a rural hut or 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.
(2) Love, get married.
POPPIES and POPPY FIELDS (and indeed, flower fields) - to "male power".
PAIRED embroidery of animals or birds - two storks, ducks, a couple of wolves contributes to meeting with your soul mate, as well as family well-being. It is especially good if a picture with a pair of wolves hangs in the house.
If you will embroider a couple of people - a man and a woman, then ideally they should hold hands or kiss.
A meeting with a loved one is perfectly facilitated by PEONY.
According to Feng Shui, PEONY is a flower of joy, a symbol of exquisite passion and carnal love. It is the most auspicious symbol for young couples. The image of a peony in the bedroom or in the love sector is a wonderful talisman, but its favorable effect is relevant only in the first years of marriage. When children are born and the 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, replace the embroidery with another one.
To speed up the wedding, you can embroider gold wedding rings on a red (required!) background (I think it is possible on a red canvas).
If an unmarried girl embroiders a UNICORN, then she will get married in the near future.
(3) Children
The most famous sign among embroiderers is the embroidery of three angels from Dimensions - Almost Perfect.
If you embroider them, you will definitely get pregnant. Judging by the reviews on the forums, embroidery works in 99% of cases.
(4) Health
CRANES (preferably a pair of cranes next to a pine branch or tree) is one of the most important symbols of health. PEACH is also considered a symbol of health.
(5) Luck in business, money, wealth
SAILBOAT - embroidered to attract good luck in business. It signifies the symbolic "arrival" of good luck. You need to embroider not a modern boat, wooden, but beautiful, powerful, and outwardly reliable. When you hang, carefully choose a place, it should not hang opposite the entrance, it should "float into the house", that is, it should be turned with its nose into the house.
GOLD FISH - success in financial affairs.
CARPS - symbolize wealth.
A THREE-LEGED TOAD WITH A COIN IN THE MOUTH is a symbol of great luck. One of the most effective talismans for the wealth zone. Brings wealth, increases money luck. It is better to place in the zone of wealth (southeast sector). It is necessary to arrange - as if she jumps into the house.
HORSESHOE - a symbol of good luck, abundance and prosperity. According to Feng Shui, it is recommended to place the ends up.
MONEY TREE - to wealth and attraction of money, but only if it is embroidered correctly:
According to Feng Shui, a tree should have:
An odd number of coins (otherwise the money will decrease, not increase). It is best if there are 9 coins. Coins must be with a hole in the middle and hieroglyphs
An odd number of flowers, and preferably 3 flowers. Flowers should be like cherry blossoms.
Attached flowers and coins should be red thread.
The tree should hang opposite the front door so that the money goes into the house.
HORSE - a symbol of speed and endurance, joy of life, optimism and good fame. It is better if the horse is directed upwards. The horse brings with it the wind of change and favorable changes in life. If a symbolic image of gold is attached to the horse's back, then the horse will bring you fame and money...
(6) Car
The embroidered MACHINE repeatedly helped embroiderers to acquire a four-wheeled friend. You can embroider any car - from a Ferrari to an antique 1898 Opel.

It doesn’t matter what and how to embroider: you can cross stitch, you can use satin stitch, you can use floss, you can use wool, you want it on canvas, you want it on clothes, there is absolutely no difference in what language you inform the Cosmos about your plans.

Trap (Catcher) dreams
hung over the head of the bed, or close to it and contributes to good sleep and good dreams. Inventing the dream trap, the Indians recreated the woven web of leather ropes. It was in this way, in their opinion, that she did not let the evil spirits through, causing confusion in the mind and, thereby, did not allow nightmares to form. It hangs at the head of the bed.

Lily means perfection, so the expression "gild the lily" means trying to improve what needs no improvement, as Shakespeare says in "King John": "to gild the gold the highest standard and painting a lily ... this is a waste of time and a ridiculous excess. "The Easter lily - the daffodil - blooms during Easter, when the cold, joyless winter of sin has suddenly been replaced by the spring of salvation.

And finally, probably the most important rule - it doesn’t matter which symbol you choose for yourself - the main thing believe that he will help you, and everything will come true.
If you love to embroider, then you probably thought about what this or that picture you embroidered means. This is especially important when embroidering as a gift, because you often want to give (to yourself or a friend) not just a beautiful picture, but also good luck, happiness, health and love. This can be done if you are guided when choosing a theme for embroidery by embroidery signs and the meanings of symbols according to Feng Shui.
There are a number of signs that many embroiderers know about.
Let's try to systematize them.
(1) Housing problem or what to embroider to expand living space
(buy a cottage, an apartment, get your own house).
An embroidered HOUSE contributes to the appearance of your home. It does not matter whether it is a set of some company, embroidery according to the scheme, cross stitch, tapestry stitch or satin stitch. It does not matter whether it is 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.
(2) Love, get married.
POPPIES and POPPY FIELDS (and indeed, flower fields) - to "male power".
PAIRED embroidery of animals or birds - two storks, ducks, a couple of wolves contributes to meeting with your soul mate, as well as family well-being. It is especially good if a picture with a pair of wolves hangs in the house.
If you will embroider a couple of people - a man and a woman, then ideally they should hold hands or kiss.
A meeting with a loved one is perfectly facilitated by PEONY.
According to Feng Shui, PEONY is a flower of joy, a symbol of exquisite passion and carnal love. It is the most auspicious symbol for young couples. The image of a peony in the bedroom or in the love sector is a wonderful talisman, but its favorable effect is relevant only in the first years of marriage. When children are born and the 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, replace the embroidery with another one.
To speed up the wedding, you can embroider gold wedding rings on a red (required!) background (I think you can also on a red canvas).
If an unmarried girl embroiders a UNICORN, then she will get married in the near future. 
(3) Children
The most famous sign among embroiderers is the embroidery of three angels from Dimensions - Almost Perfect.
If you embroider them, you will definitely get pregnant. Judging by the reviews on the forums, embroidery works in 99% of cases.
(4) Health
CRANES (preferably a pair of cranes next to a pine branch or tree) is one of the most important symbols of health. PEACH is also considered a symbol of health.
(5) Luck in business, money, wealth
SAILBOAT - embroidered to attract good luck in business. It signifies the symbolic "arrival" of good luck. You need to embroider not a modern boat, wooden, but beautiful, powerful, and outwardly reliable. When you hang, carefully choose a place, it should not hang opposite the entrance, it should "float into the house", that is, it should be turned with its nose into the house.
GOLD FISH - success in financial affairs. 
CARPS - symbolize wealth.
A THREE-LEGED TOAD WITH A COIN IN THE MOUTH is a symbol of great luck. One of the most effective talismans for the wealth zone. Brings wealth, increases monetary luck. It is better to place in the zone of wealth (southeast sector). It is necessary to arrange - as if she jumps into the house.
HORSESHOE - a symbol of good luck, abundance and prosperity. According to Feng Shui, it is recommended to place the ends up.
MONEY TREE - to wealth and the attraction of money, but only if it is embroidered correctly:
According to Feng Shui, a tree should have:
An odd number of coins (otherwise the money will decrease, not increase). It is best if there are 9 coins. Coins must be with a hole in the middle and hieroglyphs
An odd number of flowers, and preferably 3 flowers. Flowers should be like cherry blossoms.
Attached flowers and coins should be red thread.
The tree should hang opposite the front door so that the money goes into the house.
HORSE - a symbol of speed and endurance, joy of life, optimism and good fame. It is better if the horse is directed upwards. The horse brings with it the wind of change and favorable changes in life. If a symbolic image of gold is attached to the horse's back, then the horse will bring you fame and money...
(6) Car
The embroidered MACHINE repeatedly helped embroiderers to acquire a four-wheeled friend. You can embroider any car, from a Ferrari to an antique 1898 Opel.
