Superstition represents quasi-religious and unreasonable beliefs that future events are caused by certain magical acts.
It is interesting that there are numerous superstitions that differ from nation to nation. Some are funny, some are interesting, some are logical, and some are very strange.
Superstitions such as a broken mirror or a ladder under which you must not walk relaxed, or perhaps a black cat that has crossed your path, are not so interesting in relation to the superstitions that I will write about in the rest of the article ...
From bizarre to completely insane, people seem to like to always create new superstitions that intimidate them and complicate their lives.
Here are some of the craziest superstitions in the world.
Remember how in "Harry Potter" members of the "magic world" were not allowed to say Voldemort's name? Well, in Argentina, it is considered that pronouncing the name of their former president, Carlos Menem, brings misfortune, so if someone even dares to say it, he must knock on a tree after that.
In Brazil, it is considered ominous if your wallet happens to fall out and touch the floor. In this case, a certain bankruptcy awaits you.
In China, the number 4 is considered unfortunate, especially because its pronunciation is similar to the pronunciation of the word "death". That is why the Chinese avoid all numbers that contain the unfortunate four.
The Danes collect dishes that they accidentally broke all year round, in order to spill it in the yard of their friends for the New Year's Eve. The bigger the crowd - the more luck for friends.
In India, due to some old customs, washing and cutting hair and shortening nails on Thursdays and Saturdays are considered inadmissible.
The Egyptians are horrified by the opening of the scissors. If they open them, they have to cut something for them, and if they accidentally leave them open, they experience a real panic attack. They also believe that scissors under the pillow, while you sleep, can protect you from nightmares.
In Haiti, it’s hard to be someone’s mother. If your offspring walks with only one shoe, cleans under the night, crawls or eats only the top of a watermelon, it brings you certain death.
Japanese children always hide their stomachs while thundering, especially when they go to sleep, because it is believed that otherwise the god of thunder will eat their navel. Also, in Japan, it is believed that while passing by a cemetery or meeting a funeral procession, you should put your thumbs in your pockets to protect your parents.
In South Korea, they are not afraid of drafts, like us, but they are convinced that turning on the fan while we sleep leads to certain death.
In Vietnam, if you eat a banana before the exam - you will surely fall, because the peel of a banana is slippery!
The Turks will never go to bed with chewing gum, because they believe that it will turn into a part of the body of a dead man.
In Rwanda, women do not eat goat meat - so that their beards do not grow.
In Britain, women have always carried acorns with them in the past to preserve their youth. As Richard Webster pointed out in the "Encyclopedia of Superstition", the oak has long been associated with longevity.
In Serbia and Russia, and in several other countries, it has long been believed that if a pigeon throws feces on someone's head in flight, that person will have some monetary gain.
I don't know if @TheRandomRewarder believes in superstitions, but maybe there is a superstition that if he doesn't visit us one day, he won't have a single bitcoin cash in his wallet ... :) :) :)
