[Tact]

Friday the 13th...those who are superstitious (sp?) lock your doors and windows. Keep salt, horseshoes, 4-leaf clovers, and a box of Lucky Charms with you at all times. Please try not to lay eyes on any mirrors, just in case. Also, move all ladders to your garage or basement yesterday, so you don't have to worry about walking under them. Lastly, if you own any black cats, always walk in the same direction as they are, so they don't cross your path. This has been an FKL Triskeidekaphobia Day Special Anouncement. Thank you.

Oh. I feel bad for you. One of my friends, my uncle, and my cousin are in the way too.

[Sharkyland]

It's been projected that the hurricane is heading towards me too, but I'm further north.

The hurricane is just a farce.

The Burning Legion will soon invade this planet, spreading chaos and eeevil.

It's interesting how some of these superstitions came about. Most are mutated from the original concepts.



On 2004-08-13 12:31, tactician7777 wrote:
Friday the 13th...those who are superstitious (sp?) lock your doors and windows. Keep salt,

The salt is supposed to ward off demons, when tossed over your left shoulder. I don't remember why it HAS to be left shoulder. I believe it's something simple, like, the demon will expect it coming over your right, so he'll be hiding behind your left, instead.


horseshoes,

It's considered good luck to hang a horseshoe over your door-- but only if the open end is pointing up. Why? It's said that if it tips over, the good fortune pours out. I'm not exactly certain how it got there to begin with, to be quite honest with you.


4-leaf clovers,

They're an extremely rare mutation of the 3-leaf clover. So rare, in fact, that logic dictates that if you find one, you must be one lucky SOB. The difference between finding a needle in a haystack and finding a four-left clover in a field of clover, is that needles differ in nearly all properties from hay, so when you find it, you recognize it immediately. Clovers, however, are clovers, no matter HOW many leaves they have.


and a box of Lucky Charms

There's nothing better than cereal (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/milk.php).


with you at all times. Please try not to lay eyes on any mirrors,

People had far simpler minds hundreds of years ago. Therefore, the idea that an object could display another YOU was rather disturbing. It became popular to believe that they could steal your soul, for very much the same reason that people believed that photographs stole a bit of your soul. This is also why it's popular in folklore and fairy tales to have enchanted mirrors.


just in case. Also, move all ladders to your garage or basement yesterday, so you don't have to worry about walking under them.

This came about because it's actually possible to get hurt by walking under a ladder. I suppose it was originally just considered good etique; not unlike wearing a hat or tieing your hair back if you work with heavy machinery. You just abide by the rule because someone can get hurt, if you don't. Somehow this became a bad omen.


Lastly, if you own any black cats, always walk in the same direction as they are, so they don't cross your path.

In all honesty, I don't know how this one came about. I guess it's just because black cats are kinda creepy looking, and therefore became the perfect creature for witches to keep as pets-- therefore, if a black cat crosses your path, there may be a witch nearby.

Superstitions abound! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif


Shake hands often!

Handshake - Originally a gesture to show that one did not have a weapon. It has always
been done with the right hand because it is considered the lucky hand.

Dont look me in the eye! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_evil.gif

Evil Eye - It is believed that one can control others with a glance or different sort of look. It
can kill, blight, maim, cripple, paralyze, etc. In the 1930s, a New York man earned his living by
renting his evil eye to prize-fight managers. He would sit at ringside and stare at opposing fighter.
Their ignorance and superstitions often stunned them enough to set them up for a knock-out.

Toast anyone?

Bread and Butter - This counter-spell is used to deny a separation by naming things that belong or
stick together.

Amulet - a carrying piece used to protect one from accident, illness, or others' malice

Talisman alisman - an object carried to bring good fortune

Charm - an object that gives one power to inflict harm on others or to influence others

Rabbit's s foot - (amulet) valued because a wild rabbit drums an alarm with its hind foot when
danger threatens. (Most sold in today?s stores are front paws because they make a neater item
- thus are technically worthless.)

Dimple - gives one magical powers because it is a scarce marking.

4-leaf clover - brings good luck because it is scarce. (However, novelty manufacturers have bred a
strain that is all 4-leafed.)

Trees ees - Men have worshipped trees as a nature spirit. Hence, "knocking" on wood gives a
protective feeling. e.g., tree as "home-safe" in the game of hide-and-seek; Decorating a
Christmas tree is a form of tree worship.

Salt - In early times salt was too valuable and scarce to be used as a seasoning. It was a
preservative of meats and food. From being the foe of decay, salt gradually became symbolic
of never-dying life. Thus, witches, sorcerers, and devils supposedly feared it. To spill salt
was to leave oneself unprotected; so one quickly tossed it over one's shoulder to fight over
any nearby demons.

New Year's Eve - Horns and noisemakers originally were used to frighten demons of the old
year and keep them from following into the new year.

Yawn - One covers one's mouth to keep demons from entering the body.

Sneeze - It was believed at death the soul escaped the body by way of the mouth or nose.
Thus, when one sneezed, he momentarily blew his soul out of his body and one said "god
bless you" to protect him and keep demons from entering his body at this point. The
Romans said "Jupiter preserve you." The Malay, Zulu, Moslem, Samoan, German. Jew,
Hindu, etc. all have similar phrases.

Bride - It was believed demons delighted in hurting anyone beginning a "new life." So
brides were not allowed to see anybody before the ceremony. The veil she wore was
originally meant to disguise her from these same prowling demons. The horn-honking procession
after the ceremony is an echo of the wild clamor of shouts and bell ringing meant to scare away
demons.

Church bell - It was rung to scare away demons at the beginning of the ceremony.

Mirror - Early man felt he could be harmed when an image of him was broken. He would not even
dare stir the pond water which reflected his face.

Death messenger - It is a sign or person sent to notify of a death. It is generally believed to be in
the form of a bat, bird, or any uncommon animal lurking in the house. Some people also believe a
death occurs if: a clock stops, a mirror cracks, or a picture falls from the wall for no apparent
reason. A howling dog or rooster crowing at night are also signs, The ancient Greeks thought it a
bad-luck omen if a rabbit crossed one's path. This belief combined with the universal fear of the
color "black," and the mistrust of cats evolved into our current superstition of the bad luck if a black
cat crosses one's path.
