What are the origins of the magpie superstitions?
According to my sources (Cassell's Dictionary of Superstitions and other books), the magpie superstition is said to stem from stories of the Great Flood in the bible. The magpie was believed to have refused to enter Noah's Ark, or was said by some to have refused to wear full mourning at the death of Christ (an allusion to its piebald colouring). It is said that it is much more unlucky to encounter one magpie than to encounter two. The cure for this is to remove your hat, and make the sign of the cross reciting the poem, "I cross the magpie, the magpie crosses me. Bad luck to the magpie, Good luck to me." Magpies, like crows are believed to be significant in the number you see. An old Scottish rhyme goes like this: One means anger, Two brings mirth, Three a wedding, Four a birth. Five is Heaven, Six is Hell, but Seven's the very Devil's ain sell.(own self)
