The folk calendar is full of signs. Some of them are related to weather phenomena and are devoid of any mysticism.
But there are signs that are condemned by both the clergy and representatives of the scientific world, which in society as a whole are usually called superstitions.
Superstition helps make the world simpler and more understandable. If a person considers himself a grain of sand in the Universe, then superstition helps to avoid responsibility, work on himself, because everything is known in advance. In other words, this is shifting responsibility for what is happening to higher powers, - "MIR 24" quotes psychologist Regina Ovsepyan.
It turns out that people most often pay attention to bad omens.
People believe in itchy hands, burning ears, cheeks, ringing in the ears, twitching eyes and pimples on the nose.
And also black cats, birds on the windows, broken mirrors and spilled salt.
Signs and responsibility
Experts believe that superstitious people avoid risks like no one else in the world.
That's why they think carefully about the details and weigh everything before making a decision.
Signs help them with this. They seem to prepare for possible failure, protect from stress and subsequent feelings of guilt.
