Do you believe in superstitions?

These our ones passed down from my parents: 1. bad luck to walk uner a ladder 2. if a blackcat crosses your path its bad luck 3. bad luck to sing at the supper table 4. its bad luck to step over a broom. Its good luck to pickup a penny heads up.

I am not superstitious. I think they are funny. Old wives tales. My mother in law swore by many of these. One of them was that if your child had a hernia at the navel, you split a hickory tree (small one, I am sure lol) with it still growing. Split it far enough to be able to put large sticks, etc to prop it open, pass the baby through the split, take out the props and then tie the tree back together, by the time the tree has grown back together, the protruding navel will be gone. Also, who has heard about bole hives??? They gave a prefectly healthy baby strong catnip tea, it broke them out all over, and then they would not die from bole hives.

I do not believe in superstitions, but I a forever curious as to where and how they got started! I have never heard that one about a broom, but I did read a few books on the subject when I was a child. Very interesting, much of it started as an explanation for something that nobody really knew anything about! It was the equivalent of "why" something happens, and was repeated often so that perhaps others could prevent the same problem from happening to them!

Another one I remembered my dad saying: "A whistling woman and a crowing hen, never come to no good end". And to all to the black cat crossing your path, you must turn your hat around and wear it backwards.

at times we believe in it While goin out a cat should not cross the way even a widow too. Don't start any new thing or work on Tuesdays

There are plenty of superstitious beliefs in our country. But I don't live my life by them. For instance, on the dining table, you're not allowed to move places. They say that you will be changing your husband or wife if you do. That's really funny. When a person is leaving the house while you are eating on the dining table, you're supposed to turn your plate around, so that the person won't get into any kind of accident. We have lots of superstitious beliefs that some people in the provinces still do live by with.

I do for some reason and we have so much superstitious belief like when someone die, you cant take a shower, no pearl earring for a single women or she'll stay single forever, preggy women should not be taken pics and all!!
