some of my personal superstitions/beliefs drawn from nowhere other than "I Just Know"

- Everything has energy and everything absorbs energy. Things that happened in a place never truly go away. There is always something left behind.

- Most hauntings, cursed objects, lucky objects, etc are caused by this. Rarely is it a full, actual ghost, or spirit of other kinds- though those exist, too. But most of the time, it's the manifest energy of Something That Happened. A room where someone lived the unhappiest years of their life may be haunted now, not by their ghost, but by the trauma they left behind. It is possible, even, to haunt yourself.

- The same works for blessed or lucky objects. If someone loved something for many years, and gave it to you because they love you, it will bring good things to you.

- You cannot steal someone's luck, or blessing. A lucky charm that has been stolen can become a curse instead.

- Some things, however, are inherently a little bit lucky. An acorn. A coin. A snail's shell. Serendipitously finding a lucky object is better than buying one; being given a lucky object from someone who has loved it is best of all.

- Anything can become magic; haunted, cursed, blessed, lucky, negative energy, positive energy. It all depends on what happened to it, or what happened around it. If it was loved, if it was hated, if it was important to someone. Grandma's lucky charm is lucky because she loves it and believes it, and has loved and believed it for many many years- not because it inherently always was. A cursed object may not contain a ghost, or have been cursed by a witch, but if it was in your home for 40 years, and every day you looked at it and hated it, it contains that hate now. You've cursed it yourself.

- This also is why old things tend to be more haunted- they've seen more. They've absorbed more. They know more.

- If the same object, the same image, the same figure, continually shows up around you, it means Something. What it means could be different for every person. Maybe to you, an owl was there when your mother died, so an owl means death to you; so if you are suddenly noticing owls all around you, maybe its an omen. Maybe it means you're thinking about your mother. But maybe to me, an owl means protection, an owl means I am safe. These can both be true.

- Stepping on a snail is very bad luck.

- Dropping an acorn into a river is good luck, but even better if dropped from a bridge.

- Dropping a flower into a river is good luck if it lands face up and floats, but bad luck if its just swept away or turns over. If a flower is dropped into a river from a bridge, and you see it float through to the other side (and remains face up) it is the best luck of all.

- Seeing an intact mushroom while out on a walk is good luck. Seeing a broken one is bad luck. Stepping on one and breaking it yourself is the worst luck.

- Breaking a doll's face is horrendously negative. Maybe not 100% always a curse, but it's highly likely. A doll you have broken is your responsibility now.
