Checkout top 5 superstitions we grew up with

We grew up with many dos and don’ts. Whenever our parents want to force us to do what want they attach superstitions. Here are five superstitions that are commonly known and have been passed down through generations:

Knocking on Wood: This superstition is believed to bring good luck or ward off bad luck. It is often used in response to a positive statement or a hope for the future.

Breaking a Mirror: It is said to bring seven years of bad luck. This superstition is thought to have originated from the Romans, who believed that a mirror could trap a person’s soul, and damaging it would bring harm to the soul.

Walking Under a Ladder: This is considered to bring bad luck. The origin of this superstition is unclear, but it has been linked to the idea of a ladder forming a triangle with the wall and the ground, which was seen as a symbol of the Holy Trinity.

Step on a Crack, Break Your Mother’s Back: This superstition warns that stepping on a crack in the sidewalk will bring harm to one’s mother. Its origin is unclear, but it has been a popular superstition in many cultures.

The Unlucky Number 13: In many cultures, the number 13 is considered unlucky. This belief is known as triskaidekaphobia. However, in some cultures, such as Italy, the number 13 is seen as a lucky number.

These superstitions have been passed down through generations and are often observed without a clear understanding of their origins or meanings.
