As long as humans have existed, they’ve had superstitions. From ancient mantras to lucky numbers, superstitions cover a broad range of lucky tricks, spells, rituals and old wives’ wisdoms to help ward away misfortune, and this book a tiny guide through that weird world.

This book is packed with superstitions from around the world: learn how to ward off spirits in China, why you need to be careful with mirrors in Mexico and why you shouldn’t knit on your doorstep in Iceland.
