Superstition is magical thinking

Most of us grew up with superstitions. Some of my favorite children are seven years of bad luck for breaking a mirror, bad luck for walking under a ladder, opening an umbrella in the house and have a black cat crossed my path will also bring bad luck. I've heard of athletes who must wear a pair of socks or some have a lucky coin in his pocket when they play "the big game." The truth is that we all have superstitions.

While my sister and I are moving through the process of selling our childhood home, we were brainstorming ways to move the sale along. I remembered a friend who buried a statue of St. Joseph in her backyard to accelerate the sale of his house. The house sold quickly. My sister I thought I was nuts when I proposed this to her. But we found that many people share this superstition when we got on the Internet. There is also a house of St. Joseph kits available for sale to purchase. I have no idea if you bury St. Joseph really works or if it works because people believe it works, and I wonder if it matters. Thoughts are things and what we think becomes what we believe and what we believe becomes reality.

Superstitions are not really stupid and can actually be useful if not a little 'fun.

Superstitions are also rich in tradition and folklore. The concept of burying the statue of St. Joseph is from stories of nuns entering St. Joseph medals on the property they wanted for the convent. The tradition has evolved into the concept of a statue. Many traditions date way back, and some are personal ones we create. I created a lot of my superstitions. Since only believe in good luck I think it lucky when a black cat or any animal crosses my path. I still recite the poem "See a penny pick it up. All day long you'll have luck" Every time I see a penny on the ground. Superstitions can be fun and useful as long as we believe.
