Spilling salt is considered bad luck, probably because it was once so valuable. Superstition has it a person is doomed to shed as many tears as it takes to dissolve the spilled salt. Evil spirits can't harm you when you stand inside a circle. Suspend a wedding band over the palm of the pregnant girl. If the ring swings in a circular motion it will be a girl. If the ring swings in a straight line the baby will be a boy. A knife as a gift from a lover means that the love will soon end. If you use the same pencil to take a test that you used for studying for the test, the pencil will remember the answers. The number of Xs in the palm of your right hand is the number of children you will have. You must hold your breath while going past a cemetery or you will breathe in the spirit of someone who has recently died. ---------
