Where I live superstition is a belief, not sure I'm using the word correctly. But it doesn't matter how well known the business is or how small the company is. All are big on feng shui superstitions.

Let me demonstrate some of the Feng Shui superstition culture from our company.

1,There are always 9 fish in the tank.

——In my part of the world, 9 is an auspicious number, symbolising ‘forever’; ‘water’ means ‘wealth’. It means long-lasting wealth.

——One day I put in a scavenger fish to clean up the rubbish in the bathtub.

——The feng shui was destroyed and that day 50 of my accounts were banned...

2,the left is high and the right is low

——Because feng shui, the left is the Green Dragon position, the Green Dragon side of the high, in order to get the approval of others, the appreciation of the boss, the work can progress smoothly, will not let your plans are easily disrupted.
(Perhaps you'll notice that the left side of my desk has a high screen for this very reason.)

3.lit. sitting north, facing south

——In our country, most of the houses have their front doors facing south because of the rotation of the earth, which will make the rooms very sunny. So there is some scientific reasoning for this as well.


It may sound a bit funny or ignorant, but it's actually just a psychological comfort, people feel that many things are in their favour so that they feel confident when doing things. Do you have any interesting superstitions in your country? Let's share. ;)
 
We are influenced by surroundings. It is very common in my country and thus I have grown believing in these. We can stay away to some extent but freedom from these things is very hard.
 
Years ago my grandmother used to put mountain ash under my bed, before that I had a girlfriend sneaking crystals in my pocket and I worked in a church where the padre tried to convert me so it was like a triple fuck up.
 
I used to carry a Boomer Esiason coin in my pocket for good luck. Don't ask me why.

Believe it or not but even though I keep calling myself occultist I'm not superstitious at all. It is what it is - I've been atheist most of my life, something must have stuck. Lol.

My family comes from eastern part of Poland (after a war it's Ukraine now) and they always used to say 'it's written in stone' - as in, prediction can't be changed. Makes no sense to me, if you check indian stuff for example everything is about altering the future.
 
I guess some of my religious beliefs could be considered superstitious.

In every religion you will also find rituals about facing certain directions.
 
I think superstitions can bring a sense of control and comfort. I also believe that everyone has at least one small superstition they believe in, even if they dont want to admit that.
