I broke a mirror in my room on Halloween 2012, and that night I got hit by a car going 45 mph. The lady was texting and driving and didn't see me on the cross walk. Knocked all my front teeth out and was in a coma for a week.. Left with permanent brain damage and headaches.

To reverse the 7 year bad luck I heard off several people and even mediums to Bury the pieces and walk around the buried glass 7 times to get rid of the 7 years. But I can't remember if it's clockwise or anti clockwise... Going the wrong way can double your years of bad luck.

The origin of that belief is that when a ladder is up it forms a triangle, the symbol of the holy trinity. If you walk under the ladder you break the triangle and show sympathy with the devil

I walked under a ladder and I have not had no bad luck at all

what if you jump under the ladder
Added 13 years ago by guest, -8 points
the reason they say that is because ladders are really unstable and most the time people will be on them when someone walks under and hit something causing, paint, people or just the ladder to fall on them

Dropping the salt is supposed to be a sign that the devil is looking over your shoulder, making you mess up. By throwing salt over your shoulder after you drop it means you are throwing it into the devils eyes so you can move away without him seeing.

The rhyme is 'step on a crack break your mother's back' the original line was racist 'step on a crack your mother will turn black' The superstition was you'd marry a black person and therefore have a black baby. Obviously this was a belief held only by Caucasian people.

Added 9 years ago by guest, -1 points
the only way to 'reverse' your alleged 'bad luck' is to think positive thoughts. Think about good things happening to you, more about 'i will' 'i can' 'this will happen'. if you think about "i hope this won't happen" you are sending negative brain waves, yet the univers does not percieve them as negative, they only hear "i want this to happen" so instead of thinking "i do not want to spill my coffee, instead think "my coffe is staying in this cup" thats not a good explanation but please read the book "THE SECRET" BECAUSE IT IS AMAZING AND EXPLAINS ALL!!!!

Is there anything too hard for Dr Amber to do? To me, there's absolutely nothing too hard for Dr Amber to do because what Dr Amber cannot do does not exist. His spells have healed the sick, solved court cases, reunited broken couples and lovers, brought good luck to those that need it E.T.C. Website -- ( amberlottotemple.com ). If I start saying all that Dr Amber can do I won't finish writing. His spells removed me from a low life of suffering to a life that I never thought I could ever live in. Now I am financially balanced with my own company. Dr Amber made me a Lottery winner of 115 Million Dollars from the Mega Million Jackpot Lottery I played with his appropriate winning digits given to me and I am very proud of what he does with his powers and I know a lot of people will need his help too. Thank you xo xo xo much Dr Amber for bringing a perfect change in my life. You can call/text +1 808-481-5132 or email: amberlottotemple@yahoo.com for more information.

Black Cats And Full Moons
Black cats are not bad luck, unless they meet you at a crossroads during a full moon. Then it means that your inevitable death is near. Don't ask me how you can reverse it, because honestly, you can't. So just... Be careful. Please.

Seeing Black Crows
Black Crows are a sign of death. If there are 3 or more black crows there will be multiple deaths. if a crow flies out in front of you, the death is of someone you know through someone else. If the crow caws then the death is someone close to you.

Cutting Hair
You aren't supposed to cut your hair at night.This is believed to have originated because way back when,there wasn't any light to guide you as you cut hair in the night.Legend has it that either your fingers would be cut off or the hair's owner would get chopped.Either way,they said you'd die without God's blessing,and would burn in hell,even if you weren't injured in cutting.

New shoes on the table
-8 points - added 13 years ago by guest - 3 comments
Comments:
A common superstition is that bad luck will come to a person who places shoes on a table, whether in the form of a family argument, or risking death to a family member. It is believed that the superstition originates from the fact that new shoes originally had the soles affixed by hob nails, and these would cause scratches on a new table if they had not already been worn down.
