By Allison Ford, DivineCarolineI was at work a couple of years ago when a coworker walking by my table let out a shocked squeal. Your purse is upon a floor! Dont you know thats bad luck? Apparently, she was referring to a damned which holds that to place your purse or wallet upon a floor is to invite income troubles. you had never listened of this old wives story as well as didnt lend it much credibility, but upon my approach home, you did notice my lifelong habit of avoiding path cracks, certainly a leftover from a youthful urge to strengthen my mothers spinal health.Superstitions ascribe supernatural origins to things that humans dont understand, as well as they start opposite a world. Early humans had a lot that they didnt understand, but modern people have been much more enlightened. Superstitions about bad fitness feel like a kind of things you tell gullible children, so because do you still see people knocking upon wood, throwing salt over their shoulders, as well as refusing to walk underneath ladders? Exactly where do these strange superstitions come from, as well as do any have even a minute basement in reality?
Dont Spill a Salt! Salt is one of our many ancient as well as versatile foodstuffs, used for preserving food as well as flavoring it. For many of history, it was incredibly valuable, too, infrequently even used as currency. Spilling such a precious commodity was akin to transfer a thirty-year-old Scotch down a drain. For anyone who was careless sufficient to waste salt, throwing a splash over a left shoulder was said to keep a demon away, since he was certain to be following you after such a disgusting offence.
