Superstitious?
Are you superstitious in any way?I saw a lone Magpie the other day and without thinking about it i gave the Magpie a quick salute and then said"Good morning captain"to ward off the bad luck that it is said would befall me if i didn't carry out this "ritual".I will not walk under a ladder,i will not open an umbrella indoors and i will not place new shoes on a table,all because it is said to bring bad luck!
When it comes to good luck,i was once out gardening when a passing Starling decided to drop one right on my shoulder,this in my part of the world is said to bring good fortune and strangely enough that afternoon i won a large amount of money on a little gamble i had. So what about you?do you have any superstitions?do you do certan things to ward off bad luck?or indeed to bring good luck?do you believe in any of it?over to you!

As uncanny as this may seem..
i do not tempt fate. My chilean relatives are very superstitious..from the walking under ladder thing to throwing salt over thier left shoulder..chanting something while spit is flying out of thier gummy mouths. Maori customs..do not reply to a hooting owl.. always toot your horn as you pass a cemetary.. never continue your long distant journey if you approach half a rainbow.. never turn your back to the sea.. a menstrating woman must never swim as it will contaminate the waters. never leave a cemetary without washing your hands/face or any part of your skin that has been exposed. If you drop something into a coffin..it stays there. never take photos of the living beside a headstone. never take pics of a body in the coffin. (ironically..alot of white ppl do the 2 above) never drop bury pics of the lving with the dead. never look at yourself in the mirror after midnight till dawn. never whistle in the house after dark..or cut your hair.

"Good morning captain"? Good Lord, have I been offending single magpies my whole life? I'm doooooooomed.
I try not to walk under ladders. I avoid black cats that try to cross my path, even if I know them, although they get by sometimes. I avoids cracks in sidewalks and streets. Like the number 7, am suspicious of the number13. I try not to break mirrors. I won't walk on the grates on the city sidewalks. Where does it stop being supersticious and start becoming OCD? :p

Oh yeah! I try never to spill salt. I try to "respect" animals...that one's hard to describe but I think it is bad luck to disrespect an animal...
I never heard about that "Good Morning Captain" thing...that's pretty freaky, calling a magpie Captain like that.

I knocked over 13 black cats with a bucket of salt, and all 13 cats smashed into a mirror that was under a ladder. One of the cats said, "Beware the ides of March!" and I said "Shut up biotch--go fix me turkey pot pie!"

I'll Never put a hat on a bed
Don't whistle on/backstage Don't say "Macbeth" on/backstage When driving over train-tracks one must lift feet and touch something blue Not particularly superstitious, I simply love ancient tradition and enjoy teaching my children the same
