Answer 11

You know.. this is a really good question to answer. Superstition is nothing more that the fear caused by the Christians so that people changed their pagans ways of living. Well 13 is the number of times the full moon shines in the sky and 13 is the standard capacity of a coven. Black cats where the familiar most popular used by witches in the old times. That doesn't mean that some of them aren't true or aren't used for something good.  Why do they say is bad luck seeing a bride before the wedding? Because they want the groom to be amazed by her/his beauty,ect.
