«the friday five»
1. are you superstitious?- absolutely not.
2. what extremes have you heard of someone going to in the name of superstition?
- just this week there's all the stories about the demon fires in sicily and how they've called for exorcisms and even the vatican has issued ridiculous and insane staments such as «with cases of demon behaviour it is normal for domestic appliances to be involved and for demons to make their presence known via electricity»!
3. believer or not, what's your favourite superstition?
- favourite or most hated? my favourite is definitely kissing under the mistletoe, but that's really a tradition and not a superstition... and indeed the most hated: the "chain letter!" "so-and-so did not forward the email/letter and dropped dead just three minutes later..." ha!
4. do you believe in luck? If yes, do you have a lucky number/article of clothing/ritual?
- no. but there's certainly such a thing as being in the right/wrong place at the right/wrong time and one has great power over this.
5. do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?
- no. but like any mythology, it can greatly and positively inform our lives.
