Friday the 13th, rabbits’ feet, knocking on wood, walking under a ladder, the curse of the evil eye - even the most avowed rationalist has a secret superstition or two knocking around somewhere inside. Discover the origins of near-universal and little-known superstitions that have influenced cultures around the world for centuries. Including beliefs from African and European folklore, notions from ancient Greece, legends of the British Isles, and more, this is a captivating, informative and potentially apotropaic read.
