Superstition of the Week - Hearses

It is considered bad luck to unexpectedly meet a hearse coming towards you and even worse, if the hearse is empty.

Superstition of the Week - Spider Webs

Continuing with the spider theme from last week...Spider Webs.

It is believed that spider webs are an omen of future prosperity. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best to leave spider webs whee they are because removing them also removes the potential wealth.

Well I was destined to be poor with the spider superstitions, but looking at my bookcases right now, this one may cancel the bad luck out.

Cool Stuff We Found With Ravens On It - Amazing Origin Cafe

Okay, not really a raven, but the little guy is sporting a pretty awesome feather cap. Actually this is from a coffee label that we designed for Amazing Origins Cafe at Isis Books & Gifts Store. Like its name, this cafe serves the most amazing roasts. You also won't meet a nicer guy than the owner Jeff Miles. If you live in the Denver area, please stop by for a pour over or latte, enjoy Barista Jesse's cool artwork on the special's board and then soak in the positive energy as you browse the bookstore. Before you leave be sure to get yourself a bag of those great freshly roasted organic fair-trade coffee beans...with that feather-cap-wearing dragon. It truly is AMAZING!

Superstition of the Week - Spiders

SPIDERS

Believe it or not, supposedly seeing a spider is a lucky sign and a lot of times indicates money. This association dates back to the Roman times, when people wore spider amulets to attract success in business.

In England it indicated you will be coming into money. However that is only if the spider is found in a proper place. If it is found on places such as the kitchen table, it needs to be picked up and moved outside. If the spider dies during transport, all the money will be lost.

Small spiders were frequently called “money spiders” and it was considered extremely bad luck to kill one.

Sadly, I maybe destined to be poor....
