Some of them I may believe in but I don't believe in a whole lot of them. Black cats crossing in front of me? Ha ha. I love black cats, they're actually pretty lucky. Friday the 13th? My birthday sometimes falls on that day, my wedding anniversary will to and I think those will be great days, not bad ones.
****Origin: Before the invention of mirrors, man gazed at his reflection, his "other self," in pools, ponds, and lakes. If the image was distorted, it was a mark of impending disaster. The "unbreakable" metal mirrors of the early Egyptians and Greeks were valued items because of their magical properties. After glass mirrors were introduced, it was the Romans who tagged the broken mirror a sign of bad luck. The length of the prescribed misfortune, 7 years, came from the Roman belief that man's body was physically rejuvenated every 7 years, and he became, in effect, a new man****
