It's Friday the 13th! We hope everyone has had a safe and lucky Friday so far. Many people believe in superstitions, but where did some of them originate? Do you have any superstitions that we would find interesting?
For instance, some believe that breaking a mirror will bring seven years of bad luck. This ancient superstition has its origins in Greek mythology, where it was believed that a broken mirror could trap one's soul, similar to the myth of Narcissus. Walking under a ladder dates back to the Christian symbolism of the Holy Trinity. The triangle, with its three sides, was regarded as sacred, and since a ladder forms a triangle, walking under it would symbolically destroy the sanctity of the Trinity, thus incurring punishment. Throwing salt over your shoulder is believed to ward off evil spirits.
