“Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy:
the mad daughter of a wise mother” (Voltaire)

[...] Very superstitious, nothin' more to say,
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass,
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past. [...]

(Stevie Wonder)



Stevie Wonder was singing about what drives us sometimes to insanity.
Superstions: “Sense or nonsense?”



Here are some of our favorites:

"NEVER OFFER SHOES AS A PRESENT TO YOUR BOYFRIEND, HE WILL RUN AWAY."

(sneakers: ADIDAS SLVR)






"NEVER OFFER A KNIFE AS A PRESENT. IT WILL CUT THE FRIENDSHIP."

(knife: VICTORINOX)


"LOOKING INTO THE EYES OF AN OWL BRINGS BAD LUCK."

(owl: IITTALA)


“Don't open an umbrella inside the house. Bad luck again!”

(umbrella: UMBRELLA HEAVEN)
