Ladders
Each day on my way to work, I walk under these two ladders. When I noticed this, I wondered “Is it still unlucky to walk under ladders if they’re lying horizontally above you?” And “Does walking under two counter the unluckiness of walking under one? Or does it double the unluckiness?”
I Googled it and found out that this is actually a religious superstition and (hard-core Christians, stop reading now)… well it’s really stupid. Walking under ladders was first considered a terrible crime punishable by God because a ladder leaning against a wall forms a triangle which is representative of the Holy Trinity. By passing under a ladder, you would be passing through a sacred area and back in the day, you could be labelled a witch and / or a Satanist for it. -_-
So walking under a ladder would actually be a good thing, were it not for other people wanting to burn you at the stake?!
I pick and choose my superstitions. I find four-leaf clovers all the time, so obviously that makes me lucky. But a black cat crossing my path is just a cat.
Are you serious about the 4 leaf clovers?? They’re hard to come by!
Happy New Year Anny!
hey! I just gotta congrats you on yer new job! Looks like a perfect fit! I think horizontal ladders stuck on the roof are ok…its just ones that are leaning against a wall to form the triangle that are bad for ya! But dont worry…you got more than enuf positive energy to counter any negative effects …
