How many times you started your day with
reading horoscope? Did you ever decide to do not go from the house after you saw a black cat?
Every person is superstitious, some more,
some less. Some people think that passing below a ladder can bring bad luck,
others consider that four leaved clovers can bring them a good luck while a
third group believe that breaking a mirror can bring 7 years of misery. I,
for example, do not like to speak about plans, believing that if I tell them
they will not come true.
SUPERSTITION AMONG THE SERBS
Serbian people are pretty much
superstitious, for example, if we speak about something good, we will knock on
wood or if we speak about something
bad we will move from a place where we sit or stand.
The greatest piece of superstitious is connected, considerably you can
guess, with marriage.
You will not
marry if you sit on the end of the table or if you do not require to catch the
bride's bouquet. If you have the luck to find a husband, which will never
happen if you pass while some women clean with groom in front of her house,
then better not sing by the table because your hubby will go mad.
When the
child is born you must pronounce that the baby is ugly because if you say the
baby is pretty than the baby will not have luck.
One of the
most careful things which every Serbian will be scared is "a draught". In Serbia
the most usual saying when somebody has pain in physical structure
is” draught kills me”. It is unbelievable how every illness is bound in
with this phenomenon which is nothing more than air flow.
If you sit next to an open window your neck will be stiff, if you go out
with wet hair you can get brain inflammation.
Women who exposed stomach to cold air can get a child.
Shortly
everything is good until you sit on draught. That obsession with draught I will
never understand
PROPHETS AND FORTUNE TELLERS
In the
nation where every natural event is distinguished as a "God's will",
prophets and fortune tellers found their oasis.
Someone would ask, how in 21 St century people still believe in crystal
bowl and tarot cards, but let us think, if people think that someone can talk
with death, there is also very large percentage of people who consider that
nine cards will tell them a future.
It is very easy to seduce people who are superstitious.
Of course,
properties and fortune tellers are keeping up with the times so they
changed crystal bowls and cards with tablets and iPhone. "The magic"
is the same like before five hundred years ago, you ask questions and soon got
answer that everything will be good just put red cotton around your arm, throw holy water on your evil neighbor, or cast a flower under the pillow and so on, and
then on, and yes, you must pay for this a pretty good sum of money. In front of
fake fortune tellers lines are so big, that for some of them people wait a week
to schedule a date.
It is obvious that the obscure area of human knowledge is a pure
exemplar of the manipulation. Every effort to turn away credulous people is
mission impossible.
At the time where every "why" has its "because",
where humans take on amazing discoveries, people still like a thousand years
before have a fear of the unknown.
END OF SUPERSTITIOUS CHAPTER
The whole my life people tell me that I will never marry because I sit
on the border of the table, pigeons pooped on me so many times that I should be
the luckiest person on the globe, and I broke the mirror so many times that I
should suffer the misery till end of my life.
One is for sure, we choose what we will conceive and how big power we
will contribute to those believing.
If we constantly lie ourselves seeking guilt in the others for the
things which happens to us, if we obtain repose in the fact that somebody will
tell us that soon everything will be right, then we deserve at least one of
2000 magicians which works in Serbia.
Are you a superstitious?
