Superstition is belief and can be defined in various ways. The fourteenth century, the idolatry of false gods was considered a superstition. Thus, it includes beliefs that one can not explain and thus it contradicts reason.
Superstitions, an invisible force
It is true that superstitions are not explained at times, but this does not superstitious to believe.
Although superstitions sometimes date back years, even centuries, their appearance seems to be related to the consequences of certain actions that can be positive or negative. However, they do not necessarily acts as the fact of not wanting to pass under a ladder, they also relate to objects, people, days and even animals in terms of attributing the happiness and its antonym and misery. In addition, if they can be collective, superstitions may just as well be rooted in individual beliefs and deep convictions of the individual himself.
Friday the 13th lucky day or 24 hours of misery?
Thus, in these modern times where rationalism seems to be everywhere, many people are superstitious about the date of Friday 13. Moreover, while some consider it as an auspicious day, some fear the coming of the great thirteenth day of the month when it falls on a Friday. Certainly, superstitions are irrational, but they also have magical and sometimes find their source in the cultural history of a country or community. This also explains why Friday the 13th is good for some and the number of players gambling increases considerably that day, while others abstain. People who consider it an evil and avoid anything that can evoke or increase this in their daily lives.
When the force becomes uncontrollable
When a mirror breaks, many people believe that portends at least seven years of bad luck. As long as it remains within the reasonable, does not impair the objectivity and does not lead to a paranoid attitude towards events, facts where there is no need to put in a state of near panic psychosis , superstitions are not harmful.
Otherwise, where are the superstitious paranoia and plunges into a world where superstition take over and control his reactions continuously, it becomes pathological. If a person reasonably superstitious is not continually on the lookout for any signs, the pathological phenomenon seen at least, it deforms in its own way, moreover, a way of scare.

Regarding the lucky charms that are also part of superstitions, the four-leaf clover is generally known to be a good omen. If we rely on the myth that surrounds it, the leaves represent hope, faith, love and luck. Otherwise, it says make a wish at the sight of a shooting star will do it. As for signs of unhappiness, see a black cat or misplace his covenant not say anything good.
