10 Superstitions, Traditions, and/or Personality Quirks
1. Yes, I knock on wood. I have to knock three times, always in threes, even numbers very unlucky!
2. If you want something really badly, do not talk too much about it, do not tell people about it, if you do, it will never come to fruition.
3. I believe in the rule of three! What you do, good or bad comes back to you threefold.
4. Weathermen should watch the moon closely as a tilted moon pours water out in the form of rain.
5. I learned this in a Feng Shui class: If you leave the toilet lid up, all your money and prosperity go out of the house via the sewer. Although I did think that this might be a clever way to make your man keep the toilet lid down!
6. Always re-enter your house through the same door you left to promote good luck.
7. You need to eat black eyed peas on new years day to bring good luck. A nice southern, Texas tradition/superstition.
8. Never take a broom with you from an old house to a new one! This is bad luck. Always acquire a new broom.
9. If your ear is burning, then someone is talking about you. To determine whether what they are saying is good or bad, remember this rhyme, – Left for love, Right for spite!
10. I believe Black Cats are good luck, even if they cross my path! - Early Christians, fearing the old religions changed black cats from being a symbol of goodness, to one of bad luck. In ancient Egypt, the Goddess Bast was a black, female cat. Christians, wanting to rid society of all traces of other religions, convinced the ignorant that black cats were demons in disguise and should thus be destroyed. In the process, they also destroyed the kindly ladies who cared for the cats, believing them to be witches. Being demons, a black cat crossing your path would create a barrier of evil, cutting you off from God and blocking the entrance to heaven. Hooey, what hooey!!!!
