Great thread...

I wear a red string with a Hamsa on my left wrist, short explanation: to ward off negativity/evil.

Does anyone else have a lucky bra (or other garment) or is it just me?

What a neat thread, I'm not superstitious myself but have always found the lore behind superstitions really interesting. I love to hear where the different ones have come from and the relevance behind them, they usually have some practical application or some really neat origins. Thanks for sharing everyone!

Superstitions in general remind me of a tale I once heard about a recipe for roast that had been passed down for several generations. It was a fantastic recipe and everyone always loved the results, so each generation was careful to follow each step to the letter. Part of the recipe called for cutting a chunk off the butt end of the roast and discarding or saving to use at some other time. For years and years, no one in the family could figure out why until someone found a diary belonging to the matriarch first believed to have devised the recipe. Here is a sample of her diary entry:

...had to cut the roast off on one side....my pan is not large enough to accomodate such a large piece of meat....

If you drop a tortilla, that means you will have guests

Tuesday's are unlucky, NEVER ever start a journey on a Tuesday..

Oh! Snow just reminded me....it's unlucky to restart a journey. It's better to leave something at home that you forgot than to go back and get it, in other words.

If you are pregnant, and there's an eclipse you must have a metal safety pin above your center *belly button* or your kid will be a sanguine.

If you see an owl, it means someone will die.
