Superstitions

Superstitions are beliefs or practices that are based on the idea that certain actions, events, or symbols can influence fate or bring about good or bad luck. These beliefs often arise from cultural traditions and may involve rituals, omens, or taboos. Superstitions can vary widely between different cultures and societies, often encompassing concepts such as the belief that breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck or that carrying a lucky charm can attract good fortune. They typically lack scientific support and are considered irrational by skeptics, yet they persist in various forms, often influencing people’s behaviors and decisions in everyday life.
