When you have unexpect expence your left eye jump and if unexepcted income your right eye jump (this is for male, for females just vice-a-varsa).\n\nBoth eyes jumping you need a nap.

Why, just the other day, on my way to Sunday school, to teach the cute little kids lies and fire and brimstone .. I noticed MY carnation was all wilted, on my suit jacket.\n\nIt MAY have been a sin, but I stopped at the widow Simpson's flower bed and got a new one out of the ground, and reincarnated myself!\n\nSo, Jim (Welcome back).. it IS possible, this re in carnation stuff.\n\nand there you are too .. so it MUST be true, since we all know miracles do not really happen!

if anything called superstition, then NO RELIGION can accept such label. But you may change your question as saying "is there any superstitions among muslims coming from traditions?"\n\nmay be your question is one of these superstitions about islam. am I wrong?\ngo to the source first:)

Same s***, different day....sort of like a broken record.....or along the lines of if you tell people the same thing enough times they'll eventually believe you.....but not all people...thank God.

Hmm this story is real, some kids in our high school was playing with the Ouija Board, as in using the coin and some paper as the board. So they were playing it, but when they decided to end the session, they tried to remove their fingers off the coin BUT they could not remove it! Their fingers really got stuck there to the coin and they couldn't move it away. They got really panic and some people have called the teacher adviser for Christian Fellowship and she prayed for them. And the spirits left, and they are free to move again.\n\nI'm not sure what caused their fingers to be stuck there, but the prayer sure did cast it out. Praise God!

My suggestion is not to use good luck charms. That is the belief that graven images and idols rule events in your life. Don't trust in crosses but rather what happened on the cross.

The custom you described sounds a lot like the old shamanistic Wicca ritual to protect a dwelling, often carried over to Christian culture without the participants knowledge of why they were doing what they were doing, just done because it was always done; or lost origins to time. I of course mean no disrespect to your Oma, and I personally find it charming that She loved you so. Thank you for sharing this interesting finding.

Oh yes! having gypsy in my family and my blood I'm a really superstious person. That's what my mom says, she not superstious. But yes I do believe in them. Some maybe your guardian angel, others are just lost.

Yes, hardworkinmama, you're being over superstitious. Forget what's gone on so far, and concentrate on preparing something fantastic for you and you're spouse that will top your wedding night. He'll be pleased, and you can dispel the old 666 curse.\n\nCongrats & Bella Notte....

A recent experience:  April 8, 2006, my nieces' birthday at a restaurant in New Jersey.  While eating a family dinner at the restaurant where my niece works, I felt a bump on my leg from under the table.  Thinking that it was one of her children, I asked him to stop.  I spoke loud enough for the whole table to hear and received many looks and retorts that he was sitting at the other end of the table.  I felt it again on my left leg and then on my right.  There was no one nor anything visible under the table, I asked my niece if the place was haunted, she said "Yes!"  I found out later that many people have had similar experiences.  I was thinking of asking "Ghost Hunters" to check it out, but I don't think the owner would go for it.\n\nIf you want to hear a lot more, and they are very weird, e-mail me.  I've been thru various and sundry spiritual quests.  They've taken me to the depths of "hell" and, gratefully, to a very deep and profond belief in God.

This is a tough one for me, I am a firm believer in what the bible teaches and there was an example of the preist Samuel coming back from the dead through a woman who communicated with the dead.It's in 1 or 2 book of Samuel and God warns against communicating with the dead so its cartainly possible to do it or He wouldn't warn against it but I think what most people see is some form of demonic activity because the most ghost activity seems to be from areas where something really horrible happened or the people were involved in the demonic things like witchcraft, ouija boards or Satanic worship.But I'm still not sure its that way in every case.When my brother died of cancer my own grandmother said to one of my aunts that he appeared to her and told her he was alright because she was really troubled and did not know if he had ever been saved (accepted Christ) and she's not crazy, she tell anyone except my aunt because she didn't want anyone to think she was crazy! So I believe it is certainly possible that ghosts come around for one reason or another and God must allow for some reason.

I believe it to be highly improbable. I have never seen a credible account of demonic possession. It is more likely that these people were just suffering from a mental illness.

Many years ago, I went to a voodoo shop in New Orleans, don't know if it's the same one or not.  I didn't think anything of it.  There was a statue that you were supposed to leave money to bring you good luck or something like that.  I didn't and laughed it off.\n\nThe next day, I woke up with my foot swollen twice the size from some kind of bug bite.  I seemed to have nothing but bad luck for the next 6 months.  It just seemed to be one thing after another.  It dawned on me that all this bad luck came after going to this place and not leaving money.\n\nI live about a day and half drive away, but I made it a point to go back for a weekend.  Visited the place again and left money at the statue and my luck changed.\n\nI'm not a deep believer in voodoo or curses, but that one really scared me and if ever I'm in New Orleans again and they say to leave a monetary gift for good luck, I will.

I have only been called once to exorcise posessing spirits.  The evidence abounded, though.  Perfume bottles would fly up from behind picture frames and hurl themselves at the woman who was involved.  After asking God's protection, I walked into the room.  \n\nThe bottles flew at me just as they did at her, but when they got about 2 feet away from me, they stopped in mid flight and dropped to the ground.  I asked if she had any books on witchcraft, and she said no, so I thought about the things that the Bible mentions as evil, and asked if she had any books on astrology.  She had many, but the Spirit told me that just wasn't it.  \n\nI asked her if she was SURE there wasn't something else.  She himmed and hawed around, then said, "Well, I have this."  She reached into her bookcase and pulled out a Satanic Bible.\n     \nI cast the demons out in the name of Jesus, then took the books to the middle of a barron street and burned them.  When the books finished burning, a large wind came out of nowhere and blew the ashes away.  A thought came into my head about the Holy Spirit being like a wind... you don't know from where it comes or where it goes.\n     \nThey asked what they should do next, and I told them to find a church that they liked and stay in it.  About 10 years later, the couple called me and thanked me for what I did.  I had to explain that it wasn't me who did it, but God working through me who did it.  Everything seemed fine after that.\n     \nAs far as medical treatments go, they can treat the physical symptoms to some degree, but they can't remove the source of the problem.

That is ridiculous. It sounds like one of those far out urban legends. Check it out at www.snopes.com   You sure are gullible.

No, I do not belive this.\nI think you just have a little too wild of an imagination (which is not necesarily a bad thing) judging from your other theories I have read.

I'm sorry, but witches as a whole, are lousy fortune tellers.  Some have vision, but most are just practioners of an ancient carft.  What she said is most likely not true.  Burying something in a cemetary that is made to look like you is an old gypsy/santeria/etc. idea that will bring bad luck.  If you do NOT accept that this affects you at all, and remember that you have free will, you will be fine.  If someone did do this, remember it will come back to them three times.  What we put out there does indeed come back three times.  I don't believe that you are unlucky, I believe you are frightened of taking a step that is important to you.  Center yourself and visualize yourself in this new situation.  Is it good?  Then go for it!  You are in charge of your life, not a witch, not someone who may have put something somewhere (by the way, graveyards are holy ground, that 'trick' doesn't work).  Good way to scare people though.  Now hold your head up high and stop hiding behind luck. Get out there and have a life.
