Very Superstitious: 100 superstitions from around the world
This is an illustrated exploration of 100 curious beliefs from around the world, blending folklores, religions, cultures, and traditions. It delves into the roots of these practices, such as Celtic fairies' compulsion to knock on wood, Norse myths' fear of the number 13, and ancient Byzantine war strategies' caution against spilling salt. It explores how these beliefs have been passed down through generations, from keeping shoes off the table to nailing a horseshoe above the door.
