Week Three- Superstitions

Five symbols of superstitions- omens and talismen

One - Eye lash
If an eyelash falls out, put it on the back of the hand, make a wish and throw it over your shoulder. If it flies off the hand the wish will be granted.
Two- Bells


The sound of bells drives away demons because they're afraid of the loud noise.

Three- Black cat
If a black cat walks towards you, it brings good fortune, but if it walks away, it takes the good luck with it.
Four- Number 13
Fear of Friday the 13th is the separate bad-luck associated with the number 13 and the day Friday. The two unlucky entities combine to make one super unlucky day.
Five- Horse shoe
A horseshoe, hung above the doorway, will bring good luck to a home. In most of Europe protective horseshoes are placed in a downward facing position, but in some parts of Ireland and Britain people believe that the shoes must be turned upward or "the luck will run out."
