Have a safe and easy journey. Beautiful and funny wishes for a (long) journey - a good (successful, easy, calm) road, a happy journey to the driver, trucker, beloved, girlfriend, man, girlfriend, girlfriend in your own words. Important words of encouragement

Since ancient times, going on a journey has been considered a risky business. Therefore, our ancestors wished only the best for the traveler on the road. Wishes for the journey are a talisman that accompanies the farewell ritual among the Slavs.

Rituals before the road

Modern wishes for the journey are preserved echoes of Slavic pagan customs, which are firmly rooted in Russian culture. The ritual of “sitting on the path”, which has a practical meaning, is still relevant. A person has the opportunity to think everything over well, to remember if he has forgotten any important thing. Also, our ancestors had a widespread ritual of grasping the corner of the table before traveling. The corners of the Russian hut and furniture were a concentration of strength and special energy. The traveler took with him part of the protective energy of the house. If you forgot something at home, you must definitely go back and look in the mirror. This brought the traveler good luck and protected him from dark forces.

The creation of an amulet for the traveler was considered important in the farewell ritual. God Veles was the main patron of travelers. Therefore, for the journey they made amulets from pine in the form of a human figure. Such a talisman had a very powerful effect if a conspiracy was read over it. However, the most popular amulet was considered to be a traveler - a fabric figurine twisted with hemp rope. If the rope remained intact, then the traveler was not in danger or trouble.

Today, amulets and rituals have become just wishes for the journey. However, the belief that they have a protective function has survived to this day.

Modern wishes for the journey

Modern people associate the road not only with traveling on foot, but also with a car, plane, ship, train, etc. Therefore, wishes for the journey have become more diverse, but have retained their protective function. The most common parting words are “bon voyage”, “good journey”, “take a seat on the path”,
“have a nice trip”, “comfortable ride”, “be back soon”, “take care of yourself”, “God bless” and their variants.

They wish the motorist a “fast route”, “a smooth road”, “be careful on the road”, “interesting travel companions”, “fewer sharp turns”, “let there be no congestion, no traffic jams, no accidents”, etc. If you are waiting for an air flight, they wish you “you will get there and your luggage will not get lost”, “departure without delays”, “have a pleasant flight”. The expression “good riddance” originally meant the wish for an even and smooth road. However, now this phrase is ironic.

Since time immemorial, there has been a custom to say parting words to a person getting ready to travel. They served as a talisman for the traveler, which warded off misfortunes and bad people. This is due to the fact that in ancient times people quite often disappeared without a trace. After all, they could be attacked by robbers and wild animals. However, in our civilized age, this custom has not lost its relevance. Let's talk about what they usually say on the road.

Wishes for a person on his way

As a rule, there are no clear instructions on what you can wish for a person on the road. The main thing is that the words are sincere and come from the heart. In this case, they will really protect the person and nothing bad will happen to him. The phrase “Have a nice journey!” is considered a universal wish, so you can safely use it no matter how far away the person is going.

What to say if a person goes looking for work?

As in the old days, a person quite often goes looking for a job, most often this is an interview with a future employer. In this case, the person should say the following words:

  • "Let everything work out"
  • "May your dreams come true and you will easily get a job"
  • "Let luck guide you"

Words for those leaving on a long journey

If a person had a long journey ahead of him, then they wished him not only a happy journey. In the old days, they said goodbye to the phrase “Good riddance.” This expression meant that the path would be easy and the person would quickly reach his destination. However, these days this phrase is considered ironic and is rarely used for fear of being misunderstood. Instead, you can use more modern expressions, for example, “Happy (successful) arrival.”

There is also a custom to sit down on the road. It was believed that then the journey would be easy and without unpleasant adventures. Modern psychologists explain this ritual by saying that a person is given time to think about his trip and decide whether it is worth going on it. Also, during these seconds, the brain determines the main goals of the trip and looks for ways to bring them to life, since it is in a kind of stressful situation, so all processes go faster.

Travel wishes to motorists and travelers

It is very important for motorists that the road is good. In this case, you can tell them the following phrases:

  • "Green Road"
  • "Green light"
  • "So that the spare tire is not useful"
  • "Neither nail nor rod"

If a person is going on vacation or on a business trip by train, then you can wish him “Beautiful scenery outside the window.” If the transport will be a steamship, yacht or boat, then in this case it would be appropriate to say: “So as not to get seasick”, “Tailwind”. As a universal phrase, we can recommend “Happy Arrival.”

For those traveling by air, you can say “Take care of yourself” or “God bless!” Before a person leaves, you shouldn’t think about bad things, because thoughts are material and in this way you can invite trouble. The best thing to do in your imagination is to draw joyful pictures of meeting a person from a trip. In this case, everything will go well. You can also read a funny poem to the person leaving:

  • I wish you before the long road
  • Wake up at the dawn of all your strength.
  • So that the trip seems like raspberries,
  • To make the whole world seem nice.

These words will cheer you up, and the traveler will set off on the road with a light heart. You can compose your own poems, the person will be pleased, and he will not forget such a farewell. Now you know what they want on the road, and you can put your knowledge into practice.

When loved ones go on a long journey, our hearts are filled with excitement. After all, a lot can happen on the road, both good and bad. Realizing this, people have been trying for a long time to find a way to protect their friends from harm. For example, telling a traveler good words on the road.

Ancient amulets and spells

In Rus', long journeys were not uncommon. So merchants had to travel from one city to another to find the right goods. Ordinary peasants often went to fairs in neighboring provinces in order to buy the necessary farming tools. What can we say about the soldiers who were on campaigns much more often than in their home!

But the road in those days was much more dangerous. Wild animals, bad weather and robbers could await the traveler in seemingly the quietest corners. In this regard, the Slavs often looked for the right ways to protect themselves and their loved ones on the road.

Before sending a person on a long journey, he was given a special amulet - a travel book. It was a charmed piece of cloth wrapped in hemp rope. People believed that as long as the cord was intact, trouble would not touch its owner.

At the same time, wishes for the journey appeared. For example, many said goodbye “good riddance.” This meant that they wished the traveler a good road so that he could quickly reach his goal. Only now this expression has acquired a completely different meaning, and it is no longer worth using it in such cases.

Wishes for the journey: sincerity is the basis of everything

Nowadays, few people believe in the mystical power of words, because science has greatly supplanted folk rituals and beliefs. And yet, when seeing off their loved ones on a long journey, people still strive to say a few warm words to them as they leave. Perhaps this is due to those ancient traditions that are rooted in our consciousness, or maybe it is simply an intuitive desire to take care of a loved one. But the fact remains: without a good parting word, even in our time, people are not allowed to go on the road.

But what should I say goodbye? We should start with the fact that all wishes must come from a pure heart. Only then will they be pleasant to the traveler and will be able to warm him throughout the entire journey. And as they say: God hears only sincere prayer, and therefore empty phrases cannot be of any use.

How to choose the right words?

Oddly enough, in order to wish a good journey, you can use any styles and forms. The traveler will be pleased to hear both the ordinary “happy journey” and a short farewell monologue. But it would be better to present wishes for the journey to your loved one in the form of poems - this will win his heart and make him smile.

You can also use both a strict style and use humor, but without overacting. In general, you need to do everything possible so that farewell does not evoke sad memories, but gives positive emotions. After all, words are tools that can influence the atmosphere.

Travel wishes: examples

In conclusion, I would like to give a few simple examples that can clearly show how to see off your loved ones on the road. So, simple phrases:

  • Neither a nail nor a rod is the favorite expression of all motorists.
  • Break a leg. An old expression, in which the traveler must answer “to hell.”
  • Have a safe journey - a simple wish that can show the warmth of a relationship.
  • Roads without holes, without potholes and without potholes!
  • Fair wind! Suitable for any farewell, but more common among sailors.

In addition, you can make a more original and warm farewell. For example: "In life there are different roads: some are light, others are dark. But both of them can lead us to unexpected discoveries. I hope that at the end of your journey you will find something new and pleasant for yourself, no matter what road you take.”
