An enlightening examination of common superstitions and their fascinating origins in history, myth, and ancient religion. Superstitions represent some of humanity’s earliest attempts to make sense of a dangerous and often incomprehensible world. Even ideas that seem innocuous today, like “getting up on the wrong side of the bed, ” have their origins in beliefs and practices of vital importance.

She also looks at superstitions related to illness, animals, mealtimes, special occasions, specific professions, and so on.
