An apple a day, keeps the doctor away.
If you want to see a friend again, then don't ever say goodbye to them on a bridge.
Never take a broom with you when moving house - buy a new one.
If you see a chimney sweep then shake his hand so that some of his good luck rubs off onto you.
Seeing a single crow is very unlucky. But 2 mean good luck! 3 means health, 4 means wealth, 5 is sickness & 6 mean death!
If your ear is burning, then someone is talking about you. To determine whether what they are saying is good or bad, remember this rhyme, - Left for love, Right for spite!
If the palm of your right hand is itchy, then it foretells that money is coming to you, but donÂ’t scratch it as that stops the money from coming! If itÂ’s your left palm that is itchy, then scratch away, as that means that you'll soon be paying out money
If you see a magpie, remember this rhyme - One for sorrow, Two for joy, Three for a girl, Four for a boy, Five for silver, Six for gold, Seven for a secret, Never to be told.
How you start the year is how you will end it, so you must ensure that you are wearing new clothes & looking your best, have paid off all your debts & are with your partner (to ensure that you are still with them at the next New year). Also you must open
Dropping a pair of scissors is said to warn that a lover is unfaithful.
Never place shoes on a table as it means bad luck for the remainder of the day.
A bride must sew a swanÂ’s feather into her husbandÂ’s pillow to ensure fidelity.
You must knock on wood 3 times after mentioning good fortune or the evil spirits will ruin things for you.
See a penny, pick it up; all day long youÂ’ll have good luck.
DonÂ’t break a mirror, or youÂ’ll have seven years bad luck.
DonÂ’t wash clothes on New YearÂ’s Day, or somebody in your family will pass away.
DonÂ’t walk under a ladder, or somebody will have an accident;
DonÂ’t hit anyone with a broom, or it will make him or her lazy.
IF YOU BELIVE IN A SUPERSTITION, IT WILL ALWAYS FOLLOW YOU!

Merry Meet inextremo,Originally posted by inextremo:hi. i was at my cousin's place and i broke a mirror.
i'm afraid of the 7 years of bad luck because my aunt broke one before and she had 7 years of bad luck.
so far all the remedies i have read is to bury the shattered glass, but it is not possible as the relatives have thrown them away.
what should i do?
thanks in advance.
People all over the World from various Cultures & Religions attribute "Bad Luck" to the breaking of a mirror, including death in the family within the following year. Mirror superstitions probably arose from the time when the first humans saw their reflections in a pool of water and once they had got over their initial shock of seeing someone or something, believed that the image was their soul or spirit and to endanger it would mean risking injury to the other self. Also since ancient times, mirrors were said to have magickal powers, including the power to foretell the future and were considered to be tools or devices of the gods. Thus breaking a mirror would end its powers and bring untold miseries and misfortunes upon the one whose reflection it last held.
As for the seven-year period, the Ancient Romans believed that life renewed itself every seven years. If the person looking into the mirror were of ill health, their image would break the mirror and the run of bad luck would continue for seven years, at the end of which their life would be renewed, ending the curse.
But if you do not wish seven years of ill-luck, a variety of folk remedies are available to counter the curse of the mirror, including some crazy ones like taking all the pieces and throwing them into running water or pounding the broken mirror into tiny fragments so that no piece can reflect anything ever again or taking the pieces outside & burying them in moonlight. There is also help for those who are too lazy or too busy, just leave the breakage the way it was for seven hours and then clean it up immediately after the hours are up.
And just in case you need to look at a few more options, here they are,
- Throw salt over your shoulder.
- Turn around three times counter clockwise immediately after breaking the mirror.
- Burn the mirror or at least blacken the pieces in the flames of a fire. The fragments should be buried after a year.
One of the most effective method i know which is part of Mirror Magick, is you collect all the shards & dust of the broken Mirror, put them in a glass bottle & place the glass bottle on a sunny window sill or anywhere that got sunshine. The Sun rays will annul the adverse effects of the broken mirror, removing bad luck!
Thanks again.

I simply dislike such chain mails. Its very redundant & irritating, to a point more like a curse to the recipients, planting seeds of doubts & fear.
