AND
SUPERSTITIONS
Four-leaf
  clover
The four-leaf clover is often regarded
as the object bringing luck, often
searched by children. When it is found it
means a good luck.
Spilled salt
Spilling the salt means end of the
divine care and breaking the bond with
family and friends.

If you have already spilt the salt – do
not wait!. Immediately throw the small
amout of salt over the left shoulder
three times.
Number
     13
Number 13 universally is regarded
unhappy and bringing bad luck. There
is nothing worse than to have the
thirteenth number in the daily
newspaper, or to live on the thirteenth
floor.
Friday the thirteen
The Friday the thirteenth is regarded
as the day full of dangers. To avoid
any of them we should stay in bed, or
under the table…
Black
           cat
Many persons believe in the fact that
the black cat running before us brings
bad luck. Therefore, they stop and
wait until somebody else will first
cross the road where the animal ran.
Number

In many cultures it symbolizes the
connection of the time and space. Some
people are getting married on the
seventh day of month because they
believe that this day will bring them
luck.
Walking under the l
A lot of people think that walking
under the ladder brings bad luck. They
claim that after such an event a brick
may fall onto their heads, or the
bucket full of water can be poured onto
them.
Broken
    mirror
The broken mirror means seven years of
the misfortune. It is possible however to
prevent seven years of incessant
disasters. According to some people it
will be sufficient to wrap all pieces of
the mirror up in the linen rag and to tie
around seven times around, and then to
wrap the double knot up and to throw it
away.
Spilling ink
Spilling ink may mean trouble,
worries and the failure of the
plan that have already been
started.
Superstitions
connected with a
     house
We often forget about something
and we are going back home – it
will bring us bad luck. When inside,
you should sit down and count
from seven to one. Also, we should
not move into the new house in
April, July or in November.
Superstitions
connected with eggs
Dropping and breaking an egg is an
announcement of good news. But when the
egg is not damaged, or only crack it is
considered a bad luck.
Dropping the piece of c
If you drop the spoon - expect the
guest.
If you drop the fork - a guest will
be a woman.
If you drop the knife - a guest will
be a man.
