I will 'touch wood' to mean/ hope- thank goodness that has/ hasn't happened yet and I hope it does/ doesn't in future.

Do you have any superstitions you follow or know of people following? My driving instructor told me a pupil of theirs would always clap their hands after sneezing (otherwise a fairy would die.)... Even if they were driving!

A family member still crushes egg shells to stop witches using them as boats to cause havoc at sea. Plus, they would throw a pinch of salt over their shoulder while cooking (into the eyes of the devil suposedly.)

Any old sayings you abide by? Or, know of?

I say "touch wood" and touch my head, and I say "break a leg" to avoid the curse of saying "good luck". I don't really believe anything bad would happen otherwise.

Some of my family are deeply superstitious. Throwing salt, saluting and counting magpies, avoiding a bunch of unlucky behaviours, etc.

Never. I'm not superstitious. I believe in a mechanical universe. It's going to work as well as u work it.

For example if I have something very difficult that requires a massive amount of work and or practice due in one month what is more logical.

1 I spend 8 hours every day working total focus on that goal.

2, I'll just put in A few hours on the last day due but I'll wear my lucky shirt do a lucky ritual pray and hope the universe grants me what I wish for

I believe 1 will work

I'm not superstitious and I also don't do such rituals.

However, sometimes I had the feeling to be cursed in tha last couple of years.

Maybe I should check out some rituals. 🤣

Be nice to crows. Sometimes I leave coins out in nature for fairies. Sprinkle salt and Hoy Water around sometimes.
