Superstition is defined as: "A belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, or trust in magic." Perhaps, superstitions are simply born of our fears that we can't readily explain. The following are a few examples of these old wives' tales—several of which were ingrained in me from a very young age. 1.) Wedding the Same year: * Siblings should not marry within the same year as it is said to divide the luck between the two marriages. Pushing to do so is considered as bad luck. Another wedding-related unexplained superstition is that the bride should never try on her dress before the big day. This is said to bring bad luck and cause the cancellation of the wedding. 2.) Birthday Dish: * Serve noodles at celebrations, especially birthdays This ever-present dish at Philippine gatherings is believed to represent long life. 3.) Elementals: * Respect the elementals Philippine folklore is rich with a variety of elementals, from giants smoking tobacco, to small, grumpy, old men living in anthills. Stories of these creatures fill the childhood of many Philippine children, inciting both intrigue and fear. Many unexplained superstitions still surround the beliefs in such creatures today. Among the most practiced is the saying of ´´Excuse me´´ when passing through places where elementals are likely to dwell. These places are usually outdoors, such as anthills and Balete trees. Failure to do so and disturbing such creatures may lead to unexplained sickness that can only be cured by an folk healer. There are a lot of unexplained superstitions in this world. It´s up to you to follow every step of unexplained superstition or not. Written By: [E]rza
