But some of our folk superstitions are really ridiculuos and absurd, I think. People say that if you kill a spider 40 sins will be absolved to you. I can imagine how people all over the world are looking for spiders to kill them in order to become as pure as an angel. If you want something out of somebody you should walk round him for 3 times and then he or she will grant you your wish. Finishing I'd like to say that it's up to man whether to believe superstitions or not.
Most people choose the first.
