Remember as a kid when we wouldn't step on a crack for fear breaking our mother's backs? Here's a series of caches sharing some of well known and little known superstitions that are out there.
Salt: Bad luck will follow the spilling os salt unless a pinch is thrown over the left shoulder into the face If a candle lighted as part of a ceremony blows out, it is a sign that evil spirits are nearby.
Put salt on the doorstep of a new house and no evil can enter.
Salty soup is a sign that the cook is in love.
SCISSORS: If you drop scissors, it means your lover is being unfaithful to you.
SEA GULL: Three seagulls flying together, directly overhead, are a warning of death soon to come.
SHOES: Do not place shoes upon a table, for this will bring bad luck for the day, cause trouble with your mate and you might even lose your job as a result.
It's bad luck to leave shoes upside down.
SINGING: If you sing before seven, you will cry before eleven.
SLEEP: You sleep best with your head to the north and your feet to the south.
SNEEZE: Place a hand in front of your mouth when sneezing. Your soul may escape otherwise.
The devil can enter your body when you sneeze. Having someone say, "God bless you," drives the devil away.
If you sneeze on a Monday, you sneeze for danger;
Sneeze on a Tuesday, kiss a stranger;
Sneeze on a Wednesday, sneeze for a letter;
Sneeze on a Thursday, something better;
Sneeze on a Friday, sneeze for sorrow;
Sneeze on a Saturday, see your sweetheart tomorrow.
Sneeze on a Sunday, and the devil will have domination over you all week.
One for sorrow, Two for joy, Three for a letter, Four for a boy, Five for silver, Six for gold, Seven for a secret, never to be told
SPARROW: Sparrows carry the souls of the dead, it's unlucky to kill one.
SPIDER: Seeing a spider run down a web in the afternoon means you'll take a trip.
A spider is a repellent against plague when worn around the neck in a walnut shell.
STARS: All wishes on shooting stars come true.
Star light, star bright First star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might Have the wish I wish tonight.
SWAN: A swan's feather, sewed into the husband's pillow, will ensure fidelity.
