  • Origins of Popular Superstitions by Sanguinarius
    Origins of Popular Superstitions By Sanguinarius With Halloween time approaching, which is arguably everybody's favorite superstitious holiday of the year, I thought I'd serve up some popular superstitions and their origins. This is by no means a comprehensive list -- an entire encyclopedia could be written filled with thousands upon thousands of superstitions! These are some of the better known ones practiced worldwide. Determining the origins of superstitions is largely a matter of guesswork; some are so old that their origins are lost in the mists of time. "[Some] superstitions are based on sound sense -- don't put hats on beds (head lice), don't walk under ladders (something might fall), cover your mouth when you sneeze (don't spread germs). They were often used to teach as it was easier to scare someone into doing or not doing something than to use lengthy explanations -- especially for children," says Alice Wood ([email protected]). Superstition can be defined as the irrational belief in the existence of unseen forces (frequently thought of as evil spirits) controlling people's fates or the outcomes of events, usually with negative effects, unless particular actions are taken to prevent the ill effects or to produce the desired good effects; this may involve a person's behaviors and actions, avoidance of actions, places, etc., or the use of amulets, etc. Many educated, intelligent people still hold on to a variety of superstitions, almost as though they are cherished traditions of a sort. If you ask them, when it gets right down to the nitty-gritty, they don't actually believe in something, yet they still act upon the belief.

  • 2011 Macbeth Informational Text: Witches, Superstition, and Ghost
    Name ________________________________________ Period _______ ©2011 Macbeth Informational Text: Witches, Superstition, and Ghosts In Shakespeare‘s time, many people deeply believed in the power and influence of superstition, the power of magic, and in ―other-worldly‖ creatures, such as ghosts and witches. When strange or unexplainable things would happen in the Elizabethan era, many attributed these happenings to the influence of the supernatural, whereas today, we would likely be able to explain things scientifically. Audiences would have been easily led to believe that a character saw a ghost in front of him, or that he would listen to witches‘ predictions, as in Macbeth. Witches People from all walks of life and income levels looked to the supernatural to explain the unexplainable. In 1591, it was believed that a group of witches attempted to murder King James I of Scotland, which led to his study of the occult, and ultimately his book on the persecution and punishment of witches, Daemonologie, published in 1597. Many of these superstitions and beliefs stemmed from Celtic and Viking pagan beliefs and traditions that existed thousands of years before. ―White‖ witches and apothecaries who doled out homemade remedies, including potions and chants to heal the sick, were seen as healers, and were welcome throughout the community. By the Elizabethan era, this distinction was gone, and those who had any sort of unexplainable power were considered evil and a harmful and mischievous threat to society. People blamed witches for the Black plague, bad crops, deaths, illnesses, and fires. Those who were accused of practicing witchcraft were usually old, poor, unmarried outcasts of society, but for a period of time, fear and paranoia running rampant, accusations of witchcraft led to the torture and death of hundreds of innocent women and several men.

In order to counteract the bad luck, throw some salt over your left shoulder. Some people believe it's bad luck because Judas is said to have spilled salt at the Last Supper when he betrayed Jesus Christ, or, more likely, because salt was once an expensive commodity.
