Why do some people consider owls to be bad luck?
150248
There is an old Native American myth that says that if you hear an owl hooting outside your window or dwelling 3 nights in a row that is a sign saying your death is coming.  That is where it comes from, like the banshee myth in Ireland.

Nah not really, I'll walk under ladders and not have bad luck and see a black cat (In England it's good luck, but I think Americans say bad luck) and not have good luck, I do say "hello Mr.Magpie, where's your Friend" whenever I see one on it's own though. So far I'm going to have a little bit of sorrow (1 Magpie) A lot of joy (2 magpies) About 4 girls (3 magpies) no boys (4 magpies) a tiny bit of silver (5 magpies) no gold (6 magpies) and no secrets never to be told (7 magpies), so I won't know if any of these are true just yet.\nOh and I break eggshells so witches can't use them to get back to Anglesey. I think that's all.

Ducks dont mate for life, and i think its the season after they are born. \n\nMagpies mate for life which is why it is bad luck to see one on its own, it means theyre partner had die.

I truely believe that people whom think positively about people and life are more likely to take risks and act nicely subconciously, then negative thinkers. This then manipulates the fact that they are more open to opportunities than negative people. We as people  ing eneral make our own luck in different ways and in the choices we make. Making good choices, not the right choices,but good choices will lead you to a better life and more positive feedback from people. Some luck is based on fate of something that is bound to happe no matter what and some is based on manipulating your opportunities.

I think it's a good idea to get young children to believe in it.  This is so they will be very careful with glass.  As glass can be seriously dangerous to children.\n\nAs for giving you bad luck for seven years is not even a myth.  It is utter nonsence.  But I believe that I should pretend to believe it when kids are playing with my mirrors!\n\nWhy don't you believe that breaking mirrors give you 7 years GOOD luck?  It's because children will break them hoping that their bullies at school will emigrate to Australia.\n\nI do believe why they say; 'Don't walk under the ladder as it gives you bad luck'.  That one makes sense as something could fall on your head from above.  But there is nothing logical about mirrors giving you 7 unlucky years.\n\nPersonally, I reckon that everyone on the planet doesn't believe in the 7 years bad luck with mirrors if they had to tell the truth for a million pounds.  They would be frightened incase the lie detector discovers their lack of honesty.  So they all will say that the so-called myth is utter crap!

Fortune telling I believe is evil... I guess it is how you understand the meaning of that...  What I'm trying to say is revelators and mystics have been in 'Good' practice for many centuries (even with in the Christian church).  Look at Moses... he was not evil.  And Joseph of Egypt interpreted dreams for prisoners and the Pharoe.  To reveal 'what is' cannot be considered evil.  The thing here is to remember that in using Tarot... the cards are not endowed with any power. The cards are not a crystal ball.  The Tarot is a tool to help reveal your own intuition.  This intuition was given to you by divine grace and in that spirit... I find no evil.

Being superstitious is the only thing that will give you bad luck.  You'll do it to yourself!  I break all kinds of mirriors for fun and sometimes I line up rows of ladders and walk underneath all of them one after another in a room full of black cats running around.  I should be dead.. :)

i dont believe that anyone is born under a bad sign, however if u believe that then perhaps u are. life will imitate bad or good thougths. if u think good things then good things will happen to u but if your a negative type of person (no offense) then bad luck will follow u.

Well, there are certainly people who make bad decisions. Good judgement seems pretty hard to come by these days.\n\nSome people may make bad decisions consciously - that is choose to make bad decisions. Other people might not even realize what they are doing to make bad decisions.\n\nThere are a lot of people who don't have very good judgement. If you've ever heard of fetal alcohol syndrome, that's an example of someone who may not have good judgement.\n\nYou deal with it by trying to recognize your own weaknesses in making good judgements. If the problem is with someone around you (not yourself) you try to be patient, love them, and help them to grow. It does not work to say "You are making a bad decision." But it can help to say, do you recognize that you make the same mistake repeatedly? What do you think you can do to make a different decision next time so you don't make the same mistake again?"\n\nGood luck.

If it's a Northern Hemisphere Owl, it's probably from the Trophic of Cancer, else it more likely comes from the Trophic of Capricorn. Some owls can fly quite a way though, so it could be on holiday and just trying to confuse you.

Because people in general think that bads things will not happen to them.  That they'll happen to the other guy.  A lot of people also don't look to the future, they just live and think about today.
