Question

Questão: Are you superstitious? Do you believe in good luck and bad luck? And, if so, how do you go about avoiding bad and promoting good luck? One person in four in Britain is, apparently, superstitious, and they’ll do everything from hanging horseshoes over their fireplace to crossing their fingers, touching wood and absolutely never walking under a ladder. And they’re careful about cats. Black cats are supposed to be the familiars of witches or warlocks, so if one is following you it’s definitely bad luck – a witch is after you!. On the other hand, if one crosses your path and continues then it’s good luck because it hasn’t noticed you. However, in some places the beliefs are different – so it pays to know where your black cat comes from!
