BackLUCK and 13
WHAT’S LUCK GOT TO DO WITH IT?
This Friday we celebrate Friday the 13th and for many people this day symbolizes GOOD luck… not bad.
DID YOU KNOW?
Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of Friday the 13th.
There are approximately 13 cycles of the moon each year.
There are 13 cards in each suit in a standard deck of playing cards.
The four seasons each have 13 weeks.
YOUR LUCKY CHARM
Crossing your fingers.
Keeping a worn-down penny in your pocket.
Keeping a bamboo plant by your bedside table.
EVERYONE has a way to ensure good luck in their lives.
Some are cute, like rubbing a Buddha statue’s jolly little belly. Some are delicious, like chomping down a bowl of Lucky Charms the morning of a big test.
Aaaand some are … less than cute OR delicious, like wearing that lucky pair of, ahem, underwear to your job interview - regardless of their ratty appearance.
Regardless of what the tradition IS, have you ever wondered where some of the most well-known lucky superstitions and objects came from?
Like, why exactly IS knocking on wood good luck?
KNOCK ON WOOD
One common explanation traces the phenomenon to ancient pagan cultures such as the Celts, who believed that spirits and gods resided in trees.
Knocking on tree trunks may have served to rouse the spirits and call on their protection, but it could have also been a way of showing gratitude for a stroke of good luck.
