New Chain Story Idea: Superstitions

I picked up a book recently at Bookman's called The Dictionary of Omens and Superstitions. I thought it would be an interesting research tool for stories (since I like Sci-Fi and Fantasy so much). I thought this would be a wild chain story idea.

It is now June 1... and we have a contest, National Nude Day, that starts on the 22nd:

National Nude Day (July 14)
themes: public nudity, exhibitionism, etc.
starts: June 22
closes: July 6
winners announced: July 12

I thought what an interesting and fun way for people to enter the contest with a category that they may not readily have an option to all the time.

Any takers?

The last couple of chain stories I was involved in garnered people being nominated for the end of the year author awards :p
 
This sounds really interesting.....I'd love to be included!
 
Anyone wishing to do this can either post which one they are wanting to do or pick a letter and I will list out all of the superstitions under that letter and they can go from there. As soon as I have the required amount interested to start the chain story I will post the first few dates.
 
I'm going to just roll the dice, and have you post some of them for me.

I'll pick the letter "s".......

Thanks!

Ok, I think chain letters is self explanatory.

What is the superstition for church and crossing the line?
 
Not sure what I'm getting into here, but I'd like to give it a try too. Can I have the P?

:)
 
It really isn't very clear, BTulip, now that you mention it...

We shall assume that it's this way to keep us from feeling constrained or limited in our approach!
 
Elizabeth..
i would really like to do violets.
much appreciated..
vella:D

edited to add: In Greece, growing violets in or around a home was considered an effective ward against wandering spirits. is this the superstition?

- the world was created in seven days
- the seventh child is lucky, the seventh son of a seventh son is even more lucky they can sure diseases and have second sight
- birthdays divisible by seven are lucky
- seven year itch, every seven years a persons personality changes


- storms are to have been caused by enraged gods
- women are not to cut their nails or comb their hair while they men are at work especially if they are out to sea as it will cause a gale to occur
- if a storm breaks out while a coffin is being lowered into the ground then the deceased has led a very wicked life and has sold their soul to the devil
- very heavy storms are to be omens of death to very important people
- a raging storm can be stilled by throwing a handful of the meal out the window and saying "there that's for you - now cease!"

- bird of ill omen
- hearing it hooting by day will bring misfortune
- looking into a nest will make a person unhappy and morose for life
- if it perches on a house too long or flaps its wings against a window of a house then death will soon come to that home
- if an owl is heard hooting among houses then a girl has just lost her virginity
- if a pregnant woman hears hooting then she will have a girl

And Art if you wanna write in the nude you have at it but please send pictures.
 
Thanks, Elizabeth.

this is the one I want:

- the seventh child is lucky, the seventh son of a seventh son is even more lucky they can sure diseases and have second sight

it is said to be unlucky for any author to have the letters X, Y, and Z in the last sentence of any book, for this is an omen that he will never write another

Click to expand...

crossing the line - the ritual actually developed from the tradition in ancient times of sacrificing a member of the crew to the sea gods to ensure a safe voyage for the ship and good luck for all those on board

- a bird perched on the weather vane means a death in the parish in the next week
- a bird flying in during a service means good luck to all in the parish
- the sound of a church door rattling means an impending death
- anyone wanting to see who will die in the next twelve months should sit on the church steps on halloween night and watch the souls pass by
- the person on the steps can save those doomed by throwing off a piece of clothing with each persons passing
