Most of the rituals and talismans that people cling to for luck seem completely irrational; but they give the bearer or wearer a sense that they’re managing their luck.

People in most cultures believe in superstitions. From the earliest times, the English, for instance, have believed in certain symbols and customs which could bring good fortune as well as ward off evil spirits. Old customs seldom die so don’t be surprised because some of these customs are still practiced daily in today’s society.
