Superstitions and Omens

According to Webster's dictionary superstition is, a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation. Halloween is traditionally the time when common superstitions, myths, and omens carry more weight on those who believe in them then those who don't. Superstition origins go back thousands of years ago, and the beliefs include good luck charms, amulets, bad luck, fortunes, cures, omens and predictions, and spells. Bad fallacies outweigh the good by far, especially around holidays like Halloween when myths are going around like crazy. Some of the superstitions and bad luck omens are black cats and how if one crosses your path its bad luck, broken mirrors, ladders, owls, salt, sparrows, and the unlucky number 13. Now for some of the good superstitions like the four leaf clover and how its believed to bring humans and animals protection from evil spells and also bring you good luck. Another one is the rabbit's foot and how if you wear it around your neck its said to ward off bad luck and bring you good luck, and the older it gets the more luck it brings to you.
