Natural Order - Human - Superstitutions
My Brazilian Catholic in-laws warned me when I moved to trash a voodoo
idol on a beach, "Don't touch that! It will bring you bad
luck!" I
intended to be careful in case it was tainted with poison or chemicals
intended to reinforce the superstition, but relented rather than cause
problems with the in-laws. My wife nearly burned-down the
apartment
twice with her religious candles. You know, the one's you pay
twice
the price for because they have religious art or symbols printed on
them.
The jewish lady I was dating got upset when I noticed
something in her garden and picked it up. It was a cameo she
had
buried along with all her other cameos after a friend told her to burry
them in individual graves to avoid bad luck.
