Different superstitions and rituals are associated with various favorable and unfavorable circumstances and opportunities in life to ward them off or, on the contrary, to support them. We often say or do things whose meaning can be doubted and whose origin and reasons are long forgotten. Some can still be traced, others remain just a habit. Knocking on wood, a scale in the wallet, or the magic of numbers certainly won't help the given situation, but still we often cannot avoid them. The book contains a collection of well-known, lesser-known and completely forgotten superstitions and customs accompanied by funny collages.
