Norwegian Superstitions

Spitting three times if a black cat crosses your path wards off evil spirits
In the north, some believe in “ganning” or “ganding,” a type of Sami magical curse
Knock on wood to avoid jinxing good fortune, especially if someone talks about future good things happening
If a young Norwegian woman knits a sweater for her boyfriend, he will leave her
Opening an umbrella indoors is considered unlucky
It is bad luck to kill spiders
Breaking a mirror brings 7 years of bad luck
Stepping on black slugs will cause it to rain
Always leave a bit of Christmas porridge on the porch on Christmas Eve for the fjøsnisse (barn gnome), or he might cause trouble
Waving something white, like a handkerchief, at the aurora borealis (northern lights) will make the lights come and “get you”
