In this episode we will talk about superstitions regarding items, plants and, well, some body parts.

Did you know that in times of economic crises, social insecurity and wars, the rate of superstition in humans increases? In stressful times it reduces stress and anxiety and gives many a sense of control.  We certainly live in one of those times now.

Unwritten but always respected beliefs from the earliest times have affected the lives of many people. In doing so, the decisive role was the ignorance of natural forces and the human tendency to somehow confront them, and we often do so very naïvely.

There are usually no written clues about them, but they are certainly passed through generations.
