us about Saxo Salve. We tried 1t and

Why We Knock on Wood.

Long ago. when our ancestors wan
dered through forests believing that
fairy creatures inhabited the woods
and streams. that little mischievous
gray gnomes were in the earth. they
would tap gently on the bark of the
trees for the good wishes of the little
fairies to protect them from the ma
levolence of the gnomes. In the rus,
thing of the leaves or the swayiny of
the branches they would read the
promises OF protection.
So now when we knock on the table
or the chair to inspire safety from
some too boastfui remark we are SIM
ply copying without knowing 1t just
what our pagan ancestors of old did.
