Do you avoid anything connected with the number thirteen, think it lucky when a black cat crosses your path and unlucky to see the new moon through glass? Belief in superstitions links us with a time when everyday events and objects had magical significance. A treasure trove of fascinating information, A dictionary of Omens and Superstitions reveals the secrets of hundreds of ancient traditions. Do you know: What it means if a cat sits and washes itself in your doorway? Why women should have their hair cut only when the moon is waxing? Why people in Yorkshire throw caterpillars over their shoulders? What it means if you mistakenly recognize a perfect stranger as someone you know? Why Thursdays are the unluckiest days in Germany and 28 December ill-fated throughout Europe? And why it is universally believed unlucky to walk under ladders?
