Although this is a practice linked to a tradition, remember that the effectiveness does not depend on the fork, but on the belief you have in the ritual itself. If you feel like it’s working for you, keep doing it.
If you want to use it as a decoration or souvenir, you can choose a special fork, perhaps vintage, that adds a touch of style to your home.
Variants:
Metal fork: Some believe that the metal fork has a greater ability to “absorb” negative energies, making it especially useful for those seeking a higher level of protection.
Fork linked to family tradition: If a fork belonged to a loved one or is linked to a special memory, the ritual could acquire an even deeper meaning.
