We are all subject to superstitions to one way or another, and at the same time, each of us sometimes considers them stupid inventions. Such generally accepted, although not backed by logic, beliefs are inherent in all people, regardless of religion, culture or nationality. Perhaps the secret of survivability will accept superstitions that we like to perform all these small rites. And even the one who declares that he is unhumerly, at the same time, imperceptibly crosses his fingers behind his back.
If the origin of some folklore beliefs is easy to trace, the history of others is covered with darkness and is based only on indirect instructions. In the book of Peter West you will find an extensive list of the traditions that people around the world adhere to. The author describes in detail popular superstitions, explains their origins and significance, and also analyzes the similarities and differences of customs among different peoples.
"It is not always possible to confidently say how and why all these superstitions arose, but they remain to this day: people still believe in them, like several centuries ago. To establish the origin of one or another custom and its original meaning is a very exciting activity. ”
