Superstitions

There are currently about 5 million people alive that were born on Friday the

13th, and increasing.

Generally speaking Cancer-Scorpio relationships are harmonious.

Broken anything is not usually lucky. There are several charms of protection I know of that use broken glass as part of the spell, and re-cut pieces of coloured glass can be cleansed and used in magical charms or decorative stained glass pieces.

In the 15 or 16 centery exorcism was quite common but many religions keep exorcism in the closet as a last resort cure if all medical practice for both physical and mental health then they turn to a witch doctor or priest and anyone else who has special authority..... BUT ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT ALLL MEDICAL TESTS FAIL FIRST OR AN EXORCISM COULD BE THE DEATH OF THEM.

If it is an evil spirit and they have enough power to do so, they can hurt you. Here is a link if you want to find out more about demons.

It really depends on what you mean by superstition; for example, many atheists and agnostics would call religion a superstition. Clearly, religion affects people's lives, but religious believers don't class their belief as a superstition. There is also a fine line between superstition and mistaken beliefs; for example, gamblers often have a belief in a "lucky streak" or being "on a roll". Statistically, it's well known that previous success in games of chance doesn't make future success more or less likely. Whether you call "lucky streaks" as a superstition is difficult to say. More conventionally, in the west, people touch wood or knock wood to stop bad luck, throw salt over their shoulder if salt is spilt, avoid walking under ladders (although there is some sense in that if someone is painting up the ladder!)

Good luck if its heads, bad luck if its tails.

According to some experts, the belief that Friday the 13th is a particularly unlucky day is a modern amalgamation of two older superstitions: that thirteen is an unlucky number and that Friday is an unlucky day. It is not an ancient superstition, and it does not refer to any particular historical Friday the 13th. In numerology, the number twelve is considered the number of completeness, as reflected in the twelve months of the year, twelve signs of the zodiac, twelve hours of the clock, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve Apostles of Jesus, twelve gods of Olympus, etc. Whereas the number thirteen was considered irregular, transgressing this completeness. There is also a superstition, thought by some to derive from the Last Supper or a Norse myth, that having thirteen people seated at a table will result in the death of one of the diners. Friday has been considered an unlucky day at least since the 14th century's The Canterbury Tales, and many other professions have regarded Friday as an unlucky day to undertake journeys or begin new projects. Black Friday has been associated with stock market crashes and other disasters since the 1800s. Despite the reputation of the two separated elements, there is no evidence for a "Friday the 13th" superstition before the 19th century, and folklore historians state that Friday the 13th was a convergence of the superstitions about "Friday" and "13". The earliest known reference in English occurs in an 1869 biography of Gioachino Rossini: [Rossini] was surrounded to the last by admiring and affectionate friends; and if it be true that, like so many other Italians, he regarded Friday as an unlucky day, and thirteen as an unlucky number, it is remarkable that on Friday, the 13th of November, he died. Though the superstition developed relatively recently, much older origins are often claimed for it, most notably in the 2003 novel The Da Vinci Code, which declares that the superstition began with the arrest of the Knights Templar on Friday 13 October 1307. This is a modern-day invention. As discussed in one serious account: No one has been able to document the existence of such beliefs prior to the 19th century. If people who lived before the late 1800s perceived Friday the 13th as a day of special misfortune, no evidence has been found to prove it. As a result, some scholars are now convinced the stigma is a thoroughly modern phenomenon exacerbated by 20th-century media hype. Going back a hundred years, Friday the 13th doesn't even merit a mention in E. Cobham Brewer's voluminous 1898 edition of the Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, though one does find entries for "Friday, an Unlucky Day" and "Thirteen Unlucky." When the date of ill fate finally does make an appearance in later editions of the text, it is without extravagant claims as to the superstition's historicity or longevity.

From an anthropological perspective, it is the way in which people can explain unexplainable events. A person who has something bad happen to them may blame witchcraft for their misfortune. The person who does witchcraft may believe that they have power over the environment and other people.

That people die in "threes"...when one person dies that you know, two more are to follow. TOTALLY no basis for that superstition, but it oftentimes SEEMS true because we are looking out for death.

That people can put "curses" on other people.

That people can levitate. (go off the ground with no physical or device helping them)

That if you get a "chill" it is somebody walking over the land where you wil be buried. (a grave plot, etc)

If you break a mirror you will have seven years of bad luck.

Unlucky is a very personal thing. What I would consider an unlucky colour would be lucky for someone else. Cultures and circumstances differ widely.

As an example: Where I was raised both black and green are incredibly unlucky colours to wear to a wedding, and very nearly disastrous if worn by a member of the wedding party.

No, any gift will be appreciated, don't be superstitious! As long as you know she will like it (get one of her friends to check) you cant go wrong! Q: How does a Real Man get his wife's watch repaired? A: She doesn't need a watch, because there's a clock on the stove.

you have chase it out then close doors and windows. if it keeps returning, maybe contact local wildlife center!

Probably not. The reason I say this is because, if it worked, more people would be doing it.

I'm sure lots of people have tried using spells at least once in their lives, but as far as I know, few people keep using them. There *are* a few people who say that spells work for them - Wiccans and others - and maybe for them it does work. But for most of us, I'd have to say, "no."

It's probably more useful to figure out what needs to happen for your wish to come true, and then work towards doing what you can to make it happen. If it's beyond your abilities, then perhaps it would be better to have peace about it and to aim for something that is within your powers.

Good luck...

Do You? Some do, some don't. I know some real close relatives who do

How some people put it superstition or bad luck.it started as a myth that there was a party of 12 gods but one devious god came to the party and there were 13 gods instead of 12 so that killed 1 of the favorites of gods they blamed it on on the unwanted god so from the years then to now people believe 13 is a very unlucky number espacilly if it falls on a Friday but people try to avoid bad luck with good luck and the next Friday the 13th is June 13, 2008 Friday.

It's unclear where the original fear of Friday the 13th began. The concept of the unlucky day has been traced back to the nineteenth century, but there are mentions of it being a bad day for travel, and important events can be traced back to the 14th century.

My first thought is how do you know it was placed there? Often when small birds impact with a window they die of the concussion and appear as if they have been placed where they drop.

Not all naturally occurring phenomenon have supernatural explanations. Sometimes a tiny dead bird is just that.

no its not for truth ive been there my cousins live there its ok if you here skreches on the ceieilng or ground becuse thats just an old place or its been along time ago or it its just made its not hauted beasuse if its not hauted no house world have been torn down if one was down and made to that ITS hauted all right if maybe someone died in that house or not so maybe its not hauned so your life is safe

Because this was the date King Arthur and the Knights of the Round table were brutally murdered

The practical reason why walking under a ladder is considered bad luck is that it’s just plain dangerous. The more superstitious theory is that the shape of a ladder against a wall forms a triangle, a symbol of the Holy Trinity in Christianity. Some believe that walking under a ladder would “break” the Trinity, a blasphemous act that could attract the devil.

That's not the only explanation, though. Some believe a ladder against a wall resembles a gallows (associated with death by hanging), and the ancient Egyptians believed walking under a ladder could accidentally allow you to see a god climbing up or down it.

It is supposedly an old saying that says "Whatever one does on New Year's Day, that one will do it the entire year."

Another superstition goes like this: "If you wash your clothes on New Year's Day, you will be washing clothes of someone who has passed away before the year's end."

If you wash clothes on New Year's Day, you will wash someone out of your life.
