Superstitions

It has been around for centuries and will be around for many more. It began as part of a jump rope rhyme. When little girls jump rope they come up with nonsense sayings. They do not make sense. They simply maintain rhythm. "Fudge, Fudge, call the judge." "Postman, Postman, do your duty." "Here comes Jane the American beauty." "Step on a crack, you break your mommies back." They will never be great poetry. They go from generation to generation.

Ignore them? : )

Yes. Knocking on or touching wood keeps the bad spirits at bay. Yes it is a superstition.

It does if you own lots of it

Sandalwood oil is used magically for meditation, spirituality, healing and as an aphrodisiac. To my knowledge it is not used in money spells.

The best oils for money spells are patchouli, oak moss, and ginger.

Anyone born on 11/11/11 would currently be almost 2000 years old. The significance of their birthdate to them would be that they died nearly 2000 years ago.

There cannot be any occult significance to any date AD. AD dates are calculated from the birth of Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is not an occult figure.

(Pagan religions have different ways of calculating dates, and the real ones don't count to base 10 anyway).

Yes,they can. They have the abilities to do things that we humans call 'Paranormal' Such as moving objects. They can do things that exeed what humand can do,by far.

i think it is just a myth or superstitious talk that one should not sweep the floor at night because earlier people use to say "Lakshmi" chali jati h but the fact was in ancient time electricity was not there so any precious thing could go out but these days we have proper electricity so y not to sweep?

Another thing "Guru Gobind Ji" said koi khana kha reha hoga to particles of dust can go in his plate but if in a room nobody is having dinner that time one definitely can sweep.

There is none. Superstition is completely bereft of science. However, a savvy person may use scientific techniques to gain advantage over someone who believes in superstitions.

YES it is so dont change the name

It is bad luck if you dont follow the proper renaming ceremony Here is a link that will help, trust me, make sure you do the Ceremony. I have seen people have some serious issues when they didnt.

There are many superstitions about encounters with foxes, but typically seeing a single fox is considered to bring good luck (unless it's passing by your house, in which case it is apparently a sign of misfortune, usually illness, on its way). Seeing a group of foxes (the number varies, but most times it seems to be six or more animals) is apparently a sign of bad luck. Where such superstitions originated from is, as far as I know, unknown, but they all presumably involved a degree of coincidence.

You either clean it up or you superstitiously throw it over your left shoulder. maybe whilst yelling out a chant, though the throwing is for the most part sufficient.

It depends on what he's doing in the dream. If he's stabbing you then....no

It isn't. That's just a superstition, and everyone knows it's bad luck to be superstitious.

Ø Ivy growing on a house protects the inhabitants from witchcraft and evil. Ø If you leave a rocking chair rocking when empty, it invites evil spirits to come into your house to sit in the rocking chair.

Rid the world of evil.

Bad things happen in groups of three because when a superstitious person notices a bad thing, he starts to wait for the next two bad things to make up the group. As soon as he has his group of three, he resets the counter and starts waiting for the next bad thing to happen (it will be the new #1).

A superstitious person will wait as long as it takes to make up his group of three: sometimes five minutes is all it needs, but if five days is necessary, or five years - he can wait that long too.

It would be possible to get bad things happening in groups of seven - if only we could train superstitious people to count so high.

Starting seeds, and planting various crops by the phases of the moon, to ensure a good harvest.

Harvesting various crops by the phases of the moon to ensure their best effects.

Leaving a part of a field unharvested to ensure continued favor of "nature".

I can't find any advantages for superstitions; the disadvantages are that superstitions waste your time, emotional energy, and even your money. If you believe in and understand real things you can accomplish a lot more.

Science relies on repeatable, redundant results from experiments in order to consider it valid. Superstition relies a weakness in a believer.

Luck is a perception. When something good or pleasent happens, people are wont to say "that was good luck", but it had nothing to do with any action on the part of 'luck'--it is percieved as luck, nothing more. The same goes for bad luck. When something wrotten happens, people will often attribute it to 'bad luck', but luck, as I have said, is just a perception. There is no force/entity, call it what you like, associated with luck that can effect things in the present or future--what happens happens. Things can be influenced, but NOT by luck.

beliefs is conclusion

Luck, it has been said, occurs at the intersection of preparation and opportunity. (Don't worry; it takes a while for the meaning of this to sink in.) There is no such thing as 'bad luck forever.' What may appear to be a string of so-called 'bad luck' is either coincidence or mindset or a combination thereof. Having a positive outlook, and being prepared to take advantage of an opportunity when it comes along, are the best ways to avoid so-called 'bad luck.' Irrational thinking is the most likely way to experience 'bad luck.' Saying something, a word or phrase, does not in itself bring bad luck. But thinking it does can put someone into a negative mindset. There is nothing unlucky about the number 13, and neither is there anything lucky about the number 7. There is nothing inherently unlucky about the word 'never.' The only thing that matters is your outlook toward those things. As Dale Carnegie wrote many years ago, there is power in positive thinking.

No they are not, although it would be insanely cool if they were. But to this day nothing of the likes of sorcery has been proven or seen

Superstition can make us feel comfortable in our activity. For example, in the exam, when you wear your lucky shirt or take your lucky sign with you, you can feel comfortable in your exam; you aren't nervous and can do your best.
