Friday the 13th is a unlucky day brought from western civilizations. It started off with a man called Rossini who considered 13 to be an unlucky number and Friday to be an unlucky day and just so this man who had this feeling about these two things, died on Friday the 13th November 1868. But this is just one of the many superstitions that people have.
One that my grandfather believes is that four leaf lovers bring good luck so when he has nothing to do and is in a graceful mood he will go out on his farm and look for some. Once he has found one he would put it in his date book and they would remain there.
1. It is told that if you blow out all the candles on your cake with your first breath it is told that you will get whatever you wish for.
2. Or when two people grab a wishbone and both people make a wish and they pull the bone apart and the one with the larger end his/her wish comes true.
3. When a bird comes in your house it brings bad luck.
4. When a fantail comes in your house someone close to you will die in the next three days.
5. A drowned man floats face down and a drown woman floats face up.
6. When you shiver it means that someone is casting a shadow over your grave.
7. To make a happy marriage the bride has to wear something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
8. Warm hands, cold heart. Cold hands, warm heart.
9. To give someone a wallet with no money in it brings that person bad luck.
10. Our fate is written in the stars.
