Well starting off the day of Friday 13th with a look at some of the common superstitions that have been around for centuries. I don't know whether I believe in them myself, some I do and some I don't. Give me three drains and I will walk across all of them on purpose. But Friday 13th I take extra care, keep myself to myself and stay out of harms way. We also have one next month too if you want a heads up!
So let's begin..
Things that bring BAD luck..
- Friday 13th
- Walking over 3 drains
- Walking under ladders
- Black cat crosses your bath
- Breaking a mirror
- Opening an umbrella indoors
- Dropping salt?
- Waking up on the wrong side of the bed
Things that bring GOOD luck..
- Four leaf clover (I have one tattooed on me next to Corey's name as he is my good luck!)
- Horse shoe the right way up
- Finding a penny heads up
- Bride to wear something old, new, blue and borrowed
- Beginners luck
Makes Wishes..
- If you catch the clock at 11:11
- A fallen eyelash
- Blowing out candles
- Wishbones
- Shooting Stars
Random..
- Garlic protects from evil like vampires
- End of a rainbow is a pot of gold
- Cat has nine lives
- Cow's lifting their tails (or sitting down) means rain is coming
- Seeing magpies means different things depending on the amount you see
So I would love to hear what you think about superstitions? Maybe you have one that you really live by. Anything I have left off the list? Let me know in the comments :) Hope you have a good Friday 13th !!
Love, Gemma xo
I've actually got a book that tells you the origins of most of the superstitions in the British isles, it's pretty interesting.
