Ktos kto jest zaawansowany z gramy , prosze niechaj pomoże !! Three bad luck superstitions in Poland It is said that breaking the mirror may bring you seven years bad luck. This superstition has its origin in Roman times. Before the invention of the mirror, people gazed at the reflection of their ‘other selves’ in ponds or lakes. By breaking the mirror you distort this image and therefore trigger off fateful disasters happening within the following years. You may avoid this fate by digging in the crashed parts of the broken mirror. Ancient Egyptians bestowed cats. In the middle ages Christian religion was spreading in many countries, also in Poland. Then pagans who still were showing reverence for the cats, became accused of contact with evil. That is why people believe that the black cat brings bad luck. When you see it crossing the road, it means that this day or following days will bring you bad luck. If you want to avoid this you have to spit over your left shoulder three times. The superstition “Do not go under the ladder” is really frightening. There are three possible explanations why we should dodge going under the ladder. In the past, people believed that on the top of humans’ head leaves a guardian spirit. He was really nervous when something was disturbing him. The ladder could hit him. It was also believed that there was a magic triangle between the ladder, ground and the wall. When we get across we could disrupt harmony. The third explanation is that the triangle is a symbol of the Holy Trinity and going through it may mean opposition to God.
