MERGED: Superstitions

[potterboy]

---

Superstition is a set of behaviors that are related to magical thinking, whereby the practitioner believes that the future, or the outcome of certain events, can be influenced by certain specified behaviors. The idea of "good luck" and "bad luck" gives rise to many superstitions, such as the belief that it is bad luck to wear gold and silver together.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superstitions

Belief in good or bad luck occurring as a result of something else.
