Changes

Many people hold certain [[superstition]]s about actions or events that will bring good or bad luck. For example, breaking [[mirror]]s, walking under ladders and black [[cat]]s are usually seen as unlucky, while finding a four-leaf [[clover]] or carrying a charm such as a [[rabbit]]'s foot brings good luck. People who hold such beliefs are often aware that they are rather fanciful, but stick to them out of habit or affection. In most cases, such beliefs are harmless, although it is possible for fancy to develop into obsession, which can lead to more dangerous explorations of the [[occult]].
