May gumawa na ba nito recently sa inyo or naniniwala pa?

...nagpatay at nagbuhos ng dugo ng manok at asin sa lupa na papatayuan nyo ng bahay?


Iniisip ko kasi anong ritual pa ang dapat gawin if ever, although hindi naman ako masyado naniniwala sa lumang tradisyon...

something similar is mentioned in the Bible.
animal blood is painted on the doors of the dwellings of the egypt-enslaved People of God.
this was a sign to the Angel of Death to pass them over (the Passover!), during the 10th plague.

perhaps this is the origin of the practice...

in my family's instance, we placed coins on the floor near the front door entrance.

Spreading salt is practiced in Southeast and East Asia. We did that when we broke ground.

Malimit ang padugo dito sa Pilipinas. Ayon sa tiyuhin kong Ilonggo, dapat palihim at hindi pinapakita sa ibang tao. Sa aming bahay, gusto sana namin pero hindi kami marunong. Sagot ng kontractor, ginagawa talaga ng mga trabahador para mapanatag laban sa aksidente.

Meron pa, yung paglagay ng barya sa pundasyon. Para sa kasaganaan.

Well coins are made of metal and will not rot overtime.

just make bantay while the cement is still soft, as some kids might come at night and dig them up.
