Superstitions, Magpies and all that

[LalaMimi]

I've tried my best not to be superstitious.

anyhow..

Magpies:

seeing 1 is baaad news (what about when you see one after another eeeek )

seeing 2 together is just greeeat


I hate breaking mirrors, cos' I automatically assume it is bad luck, though I get over it...

but Magpies are something else, some stuff has been happening to me, to make me believe there is something there, though I can't explain it .


what are your beliefs in these old wives tales?

i never walk under ladders

[LalaMimi]

that's funny - I have to say I do think about it, but then think to myself *I'm gonna be brave and do this*

I think the colour green is unlucky.. never get a green car!

I don't walk on the drain covers in the street you know the 3 blocks,...

I used to be superstitious but i just walk under ladders now with fingers crossed, people used to think i was a freak

My friend from school used to say that Nuns were bad luck..

[_nadia_]

I don't believe in any of that stuff.... I don't walk under scaffolding though but that's not for any superstitious reason.

Superstition in Islam is a grave sin... it can take you out of the fold of Islam, depending on what perspective you take. Not lecturing anyone, as I don't care what you do or don't believe

[Anisa]

I guess with me its force of habit, i don't actually believe in any of it!

[Ghazala]

I used to believe in all that ladder, black cat, mirror stuff but realised now its all nonsense & can make you paranoid over nothing....

As for green - my car is green but al hamdulilah I'm not unlucky
