A crow cawing loudly means guests are about to arrive
Black cat crossing your path brings bad luck and misfortune
If a strange woman enters your house first at Christmas, all the women in the family will be sick that year
If you talk about someone before they enter, they’ll live a long and rich life
Licking food off a knife makes you cruel
Never hand someone a knife—it signals future conflict
Never walk under a ladder—bad luck (though this is more Western, some Russians believe it)
Dead birds in the house are a bad omen
Never let drafts or breezes in—Russians believe drafts can make you ill
If you have a bus ticket where the sum of the first three digits equals the last three, it’s good luck—eat the ticket for extra luck
