Lucky Charms
David CJan 20, 22
During the current European football championships I've been wearing my lucky pink, polka dot socks! Anyone else got any irrational superstitions??

    I carry photo and wee scarf of my mum- who has passed away. I keep her close for strength and hopefully protection. I have small momento's or wee cards or notes that i have around me, and photos.

          Nope. I do not believe in good or bad luck. I open umbrellas in my house. I walk underneath ladders. I have owned a black cat.

              I have a few little superstitions and my lucky charms are a small Buddha statue, a Chinese coin & a Samurai medalion.

                      At least, David C, you treat it all as just a bit of Fun and that is what all these Superstitions should be: Fun, Fun, Fun! There are, of course serious parts to some of this Fun! For example if people simply follow the basic teachings (surprisingly they are all much the same!) of Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the non-religion Buddhism all of which are serious, practical and discarded all the other nonsense the world would be a Safer, Happier place! But, No, it all has to be intellectualised, torn apart and put back together to suit the Control Freaks! Every one of the so-called Western religions - don't they call them either Mosaic or Abrahamic? - has stolen from Buddhism, from the so-called "Pagans" (who has the Right to claim those ancient beliefs were wrong?) Lucky Charms are no different other than that those who use them keep it all in perspective. have I got one? you better believe it!

                              I heard that in Asia, if a bird poos on your head it is lucky.. So I figured that if birds were lucky then having a bear poo on your head would be super lucky. Next time the koala came around I went and stood under the tree watching him, but I think he must have been constipated, so I gave up in the end and decided to continue being my old unlucky self for a bit longer..

                                And it is almost true, the poo was there under the tree but my timing was off…

                                      No not really, I am lucky in some ways but mostly not lucky at all. I guess it's a state of mind and I have tried on different occasions but it didn't work.

                                              lucky charms are in the same class as tarot cards, horoscopes,etc. A lot of RUBBISH.

                                                I am very neurotic, and irrational / rational. Would love to find a lucky charm to help with my phobias etc :(

                                                          YES, if you ACCIDENTALLY put some clothing on inside out or backwards it's very lucky, you might even WIN something, so do not correct it even if you have to go out or your luck will definitely change. If you leave the house and you need to go back because you've forgotten something, it's called you owed a trip to devil, so hopefully by going back you're debt is paid in full!! If you accidently hit you elbow it could be several things, you'll have and unexpected visitor, your mother inlaw is cursing you or wishing the dog on you! If you have an itchy sole (yes you foot sole) you'll go dancing. If you see a chimney sweep it means good luck, haven't seen any lately so that explains my luck today. On the other hand it's bad luck to see a nun, still see them around now and then so that's another explanation for my luck. I'm sure there's lots more from my childhood education that will surface later.

If you dropped a knife then someone is coming after you so you had to tap the knife on the floor. Strange but funny to watch this behaviour
