I was out with my daughter earlier and every time we saw a Magpie she said, see that mom...seen by 2 good luck to me and you.

It got me to wondering how many of us are superstitious?

Do you say white rabbits on the 1st of the month?

Do you avoid cracks on the pavements?

What superstitions do you hold?

I always see one magpie and that normally means a bad day. Have seen more than 2 but that does not bring me anymore luck. Only really magpies I worry about.

Personally I dont think that a superstition or a magic force called karma

Quite possibly. I have been late before and not done those things and played badly. I think there’s an element to it.

Whenever I go to live football I wear the same shirt until we lose. So if I see 6 games in a row and we win them all I’ll wear that same shirt. Then when we lose or draw it changes and the next run starts... so yeah I am superstitious haha

Oh now you mention new year, in Welsh speaking areas children go out to sing callenig to bring good luck to the house hold. The luckiest is allowing a dark haired boy to cross the threshold first and unlucky to allow a female redhead!!

It's meant to indicate an argument with someone.

I say I'm not superstitious but I do uncross them. Maybe more in remembering my nan than believing the superstition.

I would say I’m not superstitious BUT it doesn’t hurt to avoid those things that have been said. I don’t believe that one action can cause an incredible amount of bad luck

My mum is very superstitious. She won't have 13 showing on the calendar of certain flowers in the house. If we went out and had to come back for something we had to sit down before leaving the house again, if she put an item of clothing on inside out she wouldn't change it .

I'm not consciously superstitious, I'll happily walk under a ladder but I do quite often say "touch wood" without even thinking about it .

I always open the back door and shout ‘White rabbits’ at a full moon, whilst knocking my head and saying ‘Touch wood’ if a magpie appears.

And that, Officer, is how the accident occurred. Sorry I ran that pedestrian over.

No really superstitious but few things with my powerlifting.

Always the same routine, same number of breaths before each lift, kit goes on in the same order. If I get put off or someone interrupts me I have to start again.

Always wear the socks in competition as well

Competition is important and you must work hard for it. I think I'd take any bit of physiological advantage I could. But at the end of the day it's your hard work that pays off
