Superstitions

What numbers are very lucky depends on what superstitions you believe in. Seven is believed to be a lucky number by many people, but so is 13 which is considered to be unlucky by other people.

I have always heard 7 years bad luck.

Luck, fate, karma, fortune, whatever you wish to call it cannot be cheated as it is not a physical entity. It is a process that happens in life, to everyone.

You can avoid some things that you know will cause distress and emphasise those things that will give pleasure.

However, many things in life are beyond our control, so all we can do is try our best when unfortunate things happen.

And they will.

Ace of Spades is the Death Card. Spades usually mean sometype of misfortune whening considering them tarot cards.

Wolfsbane is a decorative, but poisonous, perennial herb. It contains Aconitine, which is one of the strongest of plant poisons, first acting as a stimulant but then it paralyzes the nervous system.

There are some who would say that if a bird, any bird, flies into your window and dies there will be a death in the household.

The superstition started in the past when glass and therefore windows, were expensive and small. The likelihood of it happening was small and the correlation between the happening and a death more noticeable.

If there were any truth to this superstition today, the profusion of birds flying into skyscrapers would be quite frightening.

Lucky bamboo is commonly associated with fung shui. In fung shui any dead or broken thing is consider to be unfortunate. Removing a dead plant, by throwing it into the trash will get rid of the entire issue.

Giving fish as a gift is considered bad luck in some cultures because fish are often associated with death and the afterlife, particularly in Chinese traditions where the word for "fish" (鱼, yú) sounds like the word for "surplus" or "abundance." Additionally, fish are seen as a symbol of floating away or leaving, which can imply a departure from the relationship between the giver and receiver. This belief can vary by culture, but it's rooted in superstitions surrounding luck and fortune.

yes - but only if there is some definite advantage to the shadow person in the relationship. They are known to be very self-serving and if there isn't any such advantage for them then they will drop you with profound indifference.

Your bad luck will last probably until you throw a pinch of salt over your left shoulder.

Through out history superstitions have provided answers for unknown things. In the 1300's there was a belief that there were islands in the world's oceans that were made of magnets and when ships came near the magnets pulled the nails out of the ships so they sank. Superstitions also explained the reasons of illness or why a person was in coma and woke up. Since science was hit and miss it replaced science. In many cases superstition was the foundation for many of the fables and myths that come to us through time. Vampires, fairies, werewolves, mermaids are some of the things that come from superstitions.

Some people use superstition to give them confidence before the big game or event. They carry something that makes them feel good/better. Others use it to ward off evil. Today there are urban superstitions about many things and they are used to scare people or to give answers as they did in the past. Either way they are not real and are made up.

No.. It would actually be good for you. You may feel even closer to the person and as if someone is watching over you and your home now. Hope that helps

Cleanliness can never invite any bad luck. The practice was relevant in the days of your, before the advent of electricity, because in the dim light of oil lamps, valuables could have been swept away. This doesn't hold any water in present days.

The moon and its phases and placement play a major role in many agricultural superstitions.

Planting and harvesting are commonly done at the new and full moon respectively.

The house or placement of the moon can help determine what type of crop you should be planting.

Animals should be slaughtered according to the moon`s phases. Preserving meats (smoking and brining) last better in certain phases of the moon.

Young animals tend to wean better in a waning moon.

If you need to geld an animal, or crop its horns, or shear its coat, there are phases and houses of the moon that are more auspicious than others.

Many of these things can be found in the Old Farmers`Almanac, and you might be surprised at the number of farmers that still go by them.

Superstitious beliefs are often based on tradition, folklore, or personal anecdotes, lacking empirical evidence or scientific validation. They typically involve magical thinking, attributing causal relationships to events without a rational basis. In contrast, scientific beliefs are grounded in systematic observation, experimentation, and reproducibility, relying on evidence and the scientific method to form conclusions. While superstitions can vary widely across cultures, scientific beliefs aim for universal understanding based on verifiable data.

It was once believed tomatoes were poisonous, this could be explained by the fact tomatoes are a member of the "nightshade" family. Nightshade is poisonous, so thinking tomatoes could kill you made a fair amount of sense. Today we know the plant is not good for us, but the fruit is edible.
