Itchy Feet – Meaning and Superstition

Although the superstition for the majority of people is a waste of time and they want to be cleared form of superstition, we are often connected to some shape or form of superstition in our lives. It is not like it is not in our subconscious and that we never think about them.

Often times, people must knock in the tree or return three steps backwards, if the black cat passes the path to “prevent” the accident -these are the most common superstitions in the world, and there is no one in the world that has not heard for such “practices”.

Many factors influence how much and whether someone will be superstitious from the environment, mentality, and upbringing – in some countries people are much more superstitious then in other countries and some classes in society are much more prone to being gullible.

This superstitious system is waste, and there are numerous ways of its expression – from the weather to the animals and plants, to the body parts of a human. For example, if the rainbow appears in the sky in the same moment while it rains, one witch is born, or when a nose tickles you, you are going to get into a fight with someone.

Symbolism

There is one interesting story about feet and its symbolism regarding our lives. It is said that people who have big foot are the ones that are disappointed continuously with their achievement in life, they always want even more and better.

They are very impatient and always looking for new trials, inspiration, forever feeding on new goals and successes. The general characteristic of these individuals is that they are dominant in the mental plane, more exceptional psychic abilities and sense of aesthetics.

On the contrary, those people who have a small foot are characterized by questionable, dissatisfied character. They are most often in conflict with their surroundings, on a social and job plan, and even on a love plan. It is difficult for them to compromise, but ultimately, they receive communication. Usually, these are people with high physical strength and the ability to deal with problems.

Why are we making such a comparison? Because, if there is some truth in this, then it is easy to understand that there is something symbolical when one of your feet itches. It must be a signal of some kind, and you only have to learn what does it specifically means for you and your life in general.

As part of the human body, feet are a relatively universal symbol in the life of human beings.

So, in the case when your left foot itches you, it is the symbol that in your life there is some way to choose which method you select, and you can either make a mistake or act right, but you are aware that you are responsible for all your own or success and failure, and you are thinking mature and rational, and you do not allow others to influence you, and that someone else points you to mistakes, or show you the “way you need to go”.

If the itching stops by its own, it symbolizes the fact that you are a person who is savvy and stable and confident in yourself and your actions and decisions, and that in all fields you make progress and success.

In the case when your right foot itches you, then the symbolism is somewhat different – we spoke of its meaning, but the symbolism carries something much more profound, and it will certainly make you wonder what your goals in life are.

In this case, itching of a right foot has a clear symbolism that you want to produce some significant and extraordinary accomplishments, and that you are a bit cunning and you have the need for everyone to think and speak only positive and enjoyable, and to glorify, praise and value you and respect you as someone who is all about “excellent” and absolutely unattainable.

And now the story about the vast wealth that is about to come does not seem so impossible? It can be the next great thing that will follow your hard work and dedication.

Good or bad sign?

It can be both, because a change in our lives can be both good and bad – depending on how we use what we have learned from the body signal, in this case, itching of the feet.

Such events may even carry a connotation that you are very and ruthless and rattled, and that you need to settle down and think more rationally and purposefully, and that you need to be much more careful and more alert when you are embarking on some new tasks or in new acquaintances and partnerships. This may be the journey that you will go on soon, and it has nothing to do with travel in a literal sense.

Also, another symbolism, as you were able to see for yourself, depict you as a person who prefers the right way for his achievements, and that you are a completely open and honest person who thinks or is doing quite well, and that you do not have to fear for your future, because with work or great effort, you will succeed in achieving everything you have imagined and wanting to perform.

We must add in the end that its feet are in some ways, a symbolical factor of movement in our lives, and in this sense, they are connected to the journey, and the journey is always connected to a change.

And, in the end, the change is the thing that can bring us something good or something bad, and even this does not have to be a “death sentence”, there is always a chance to learn something.

And even in those times, we are certain that a stroke of good luck will come to you when you least expect, and make things even better.

Conclusion

Do you really and honestly believe in the power of the red thread, garlic, black eyes in a person, powerful black cats that are crossing your path, and so on? I guess every one of us has his own superstitions, which proved to be a rule in his life – and as you were able to see, there is no person in the world who can say that it is completely without superstition.

Ok, maybe signs are over for you like a four-leaf clover or a thirteenth of Friday, but you certainly have something special to you, something you believe in, although not rational – all of us in this difficult times, truly need something to feel special and magical even. It is much easier going through life in this way than not having anything to lean on in the times of great need.
