:wah::wah::wah::wah:

Personally i am not in the least bit superstitious and i was born on the 13th. here are a few explanations.

Knocking on wood:

When some of us mention something good that has happened or that we expect to happen, we knock twice on a piece of wood (or some plywood with a thin layer of fake 'wood' or plastic with a wood design, it's hard to tell these days). Why do we do this? Once, in the tides of time, trees were thought to be the homes of the gods. To be granted a favor, a person would nicely ask their diety and touch the bark of the tree (first knock). Then knock once more to signify a polite 'Thank you' (second knock).

Walking under a ladder:

To justify myself doing this, I say it's out of common sense, that it could come toppling down and squishing me. A leaning ladder against a wall (with the floor and the wall) or opened (with the floor) forms a triangle. Once, in tides of time, a triangle was considered with symbol of life; if one walked through a triangle of any kind, you were tempting the fates.

Breaking a mirror:

One's reflection was considered to represent your soul. Breaking your reflection or image, therefore, was harmful to the soul.

Friday the 13th, Fridays, and the number 13:

These superstitions have their origins in Christianity. There were 13 people present at The Last Supper + Judas (the betrayer of Jesus) was the 13th guest + Friday being the day that Christ died = Friday the 13th, the unluckiest day of the calendar!

Black cats

In the Middle Ages, black cats were believed to be the companions of witches, and after seven years of life, the cats was even said to turn INTO witches, or even devils and demons! All of which were to be avoided at all costs.

very interesting Jj! i've always wondered where a lot of our superstitions came from!

common sense tells me there's nothing to all that stuff, but then i was raised in it all my life, so it's kinda hard to ignore what you've grown up with.
