Superstitions

              

                   A superstition is an irrational belief arising from ignorance or fear. There are many superstitions. I will only talk about two of them. The one that I will talk about is if you spill salt, you will get salt in the devil's eye. People used to believe that the devil was always on their left shoulder. This is one of the dumbest superstitions in my opinion. Another belief from this superstition is that throwing salt over your left shoulder symbolizes offering salt for him to use for his bad things that he does. That is the superstition of throwing salt over your left shoulder. Another superstition is that if you knock your fist on wood, you will prevent yourself from jinxing yourself. First of all jinxing is not a very good thing, and second knocking your fist on wood can hurt. This superstition came from the Pagans who believed that all things had a spiritual property. When that thing would die, the soul would die as well and become hollow. That is the origins of two superstitions.
