I'm doing a project on superstitions...?

Question

so do you know any site that can help me? And I'm talking about superstitions, not urban legends. snopes.com is a list of urban legends - like the coke and pop rocks story. A superstition is, cutting your hair on good friday to kill migraines. I also plan on telling the story behind the superstitionion and the people who believed it to explain how the superstition came about and how any one could believe it.

Answer 1

Don't know any web sites but some are:

Spill salt = bad luck. Comes from when salt was almost as expensive as gold. Spilling it DID cost you a lot of money.

Breaking a mirror = bad luck. May have come from mercury being on the back of the mirror and inhailing this substance could make you go insane.

Putting up an umbrella inside = bad luck - who knows where this came from?

Well, at least you have two with possible explanitions.

Answer 2

Step on a crack

Don't walk under a ladder

Full Moon makes people crazy

They are handed down from generation to generation.  But I don't know of a site.
