Why can't you wear someone else's veil?
The veil absorbs the energy of the hostess. If someone else tries it on, then, according to signs, this person is trying on the fate of the one who owns the accessory.
The veil that the bride wore on her wedding day has especially strong energy.
The belief also says that a girl who puts on someone else’s veil can destroy her energy and take away her owner’s happiness.
Signs advise every bride to take care of her veil, both before and after the wedding. Only in this case will she make the family strong and bring prosperity.
Is it possible to sell a veil after the wedding?
The veil is a family amulet, and therefore signs strongly advise against selling it after the wedding. However, if the marriage did not work out and conflicts led to its dissolution, then in this case the accessory automatically loses its ability to be a talisman.
Superstitious people recommend that after a divorce, take the veil to the dry cleaner, where it will be thoroughly cleaned, or washed, then starched and only then sold.
In this case, it is desirable that the wedding attribute falls into the hands of strangers. Otherwise, the attitude towards divorce and trouble will be transferred to relatives.
Simply giving away the veil after a divorce is also not recommended. For an unsuccessful marriage you should receive payment, even symbolic. This way you will free the item from negative energy, and the next bride will be able to start building a family without echoes from the past.

Meaning of veil
Bride with veil
Wedding traditions speak of the veil as the main attribute of the bride. The best option is a veil that covers the face, shoulders, and goes down the back to the floor. This is the type of jewelry that the bride should wear at the wedding. This model best protects against all negative intrusions. The use of this accessory in a bride's dress has a very ancient basis.
Initially, the veil was assigned the role of a shroud, because the bride was saying goodbye to her maiden life. She left her clan and found herself in another world - the world of her husband’s clan. Therefore, the moment when the groom can release the bride’s face and kiss is considered a symbolic acceptance into his family. Over time, the veil began to be assigned a different meaning. In recent centuries, it has been associated with purity and innocence, which a young wife conveys to her husband.
Previously, a girl would immediately cover her face with a scarf as soon as she and her parents agreed to the wedding. It was strictly forbidden to reveal her face so that evil spirits could not take possession of her. Later, this custom was lost, and the veil at a wedding was assigned the role of a symbol of the girl’s submission to her husband, her promise to remain faithful to him. Therefore, the panel of this accessory has become much longer in length. After all, the longer the veil, the longer the spouses will live together well.
