Hi Moonbeam 13, My mother was supersticious and thirteen was her lucky number. I cam upon your gallery through a friend "Lovitt girl", I am not superststicious but believe in the past, the power of the human mind, and the lingering thoughts, love and respect of those who have influenced your life before you. I do like your work and say that what you do will take part in mty life and influences.. so therfore in mt own limited way my superstitions will continue through my own and those that I influence. This gives a perspective on eternity.

Hope this makes sense and takes from the worry of losing those that you care about.

great series

what is the superstition about crossed knives? I haven't heard of that one..

It was new to me too!

Crossed knives:

To inadvertently cross knives at the table is to invite crosses and misfortune, from which we may presume that the mere mechanical position of the cutlery was either suggestive of Calvary, or symbolised troubles and crosses to come. How fervently did our forefathers seek for types of the divine in the human, and of the moral in the material! It is said that quarrels will come if the knives are not uncrossed! However, the old wives version of this superstition worsens it by station that not only MUST the knives be uncrossed immediately, they cannot be uncrossed by the person who crossed them or it will worsen the effects.
