Title: Superstition per my ex-, what are the superstitions you heard from other groups?
Post by: theking on July 18, 2021, 10:45:40 PM

..One of my ex-girlfriends and her family have this superstition that they strongly believe in: If they leave the house or another place and forgot something, they don't return to retrieve it because it's bad luck..

Did you share w/ her about ours, "don't point at the moon, back of your ear will get cut."  OR "don't pack rice w/ sour fruits/fruits, you'll find a snake in your basket."==> back in Laos, they carry a back basket.

I let her know that the Hmong have a similar one but we turn around when it happens except me of course because I don't believe in it:

"If you see a snake in your path, turn around and go back"..
