Superstitions

Superstitions:

Why is breaking a mirror considered bad luck?
This is an old superstition. It has to do with the idea that a persons reflection is another version of the original, and if the mirror is damaged that person would be damaging themselves and their souls.

Vampire legends concerning reflections. This superstition is a negative aspect of mirror reflection. A vampire is said not to have a soul, therefore they cast no reflection of their image. The superstation claims, as a victim is being killed by a vampire, the victim’s reflection will slowly disappear from a mirror.

This is a gruesome superstition. Man, his imagination and desire to worship Satan or other demons are responsible for many of these superstitions. Thank God for the truth, a truth that invalidates mans’ foolish notions.

Superstition:

Why are new brides carried across the threshold of their new residence? This superstition goes as far back as Rome, and maybe further.

The bride was carried by her just married husband across a threshold for fear she would lose her virginity to the earth rather than her husband.

But more recently, in parts of Scotland at the beginning to the 20 th century, brides were carried over the first step of a house for fear that some form of witchcraft would be brought in by her.

The groom was free from both the risks involved in keeping his virginity (of course) and the chance of being involved in any form of witchcraft (of course.)”

I wonder why we still do it today?
