Russian Superstitions

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
If a black cat crosses your path, let someone else cross first
If you spill salt, don’t throw it over your shoulder—it doesn’t work in Russia
