Vomiting before fortune telling _ The fortune teller was vomited.

Why do Russians think knocking on wood or spitting on the left shoulder will bring good luck?

Russians are superstitious (especially Russian women). The "fetishism" that ruled Gullas tribes long before Christianity was introduced into Gullas, as well as the western culture and habits (such as "Black Friday" and "13" are considered unlucky days), and the mysterious traditional oriental culture (geomantic omen, auspicious days of the ecliptic, etc.). ) popular in recent years. In Russian customs, women are often obsessed with astrology, and they like to read fortune for themselves or their relatives and friends when something happens, and even read books like Duke of Zhou to calculate fortune telling.

The most popular superstition in Russia is that if a black cat runs in front of you, it finally stops and goes another way (because there are "unclean" things waiting on the road, which will bring misfortune); It's best not to sprinkle salt or break the mirror. These are ominous signs. If you want to go to the examination room, don't forget to put five kopecks on your heel, so everything will be smooth. Knocking on the wood or spitting on the left shoulder three times will be a great success (this move is especially aimed at the crow's mouth), because superstition believes that spitting on the left shoulder can drive away evil spirits (Russians believe that the devil sits on the left shoulder and the angel sits on the right shoulder).

Even Russian children know that seeing a long-legged spider means that you will receive a letter or telegram soon. Don't kill it, or it will be a disaster. If a knife falls to the ground while eating, it means that a man (even someone who eats with you) will soon appear in your life. If it is a woman, a fork or spoon will also fall. Never whistle at home-you'll be poor all your life.

When you put the bread on the table, don't turn it upside down, it will bring bad luck. Don't cut your nails at night-it will attract a gentleman on the beam. If you get up with your left foot in the morning, you won't be in a good mood all day. Before leaving (going out), the person who saw me off and the person who was sent off must sit quietly for a while, and then leave immediately (once you forget something, you must look in the mirror, which can drive away bad luck).

Don't give a knife as a gift. If you receive a knife, you must "sell it" (pay the person who gave it to you symbolically). If you accidentally step on someone's foot, be sure to ask him carefully to "return his foot", otherwise there will be a quarrel. If you like a place during your trip and want to go again, you can throw a coin into the water (lake, river, fountain), and the goddess of fate will definitely arrange for you to come here again.
