Russian superstitions explained

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 walk under a ladder—bad luck (though this is more Western, some Russians believe it)
Dead birds in the house are a bad omen
If you forget someone’s name or don’t recognize them, it means you’ll be rich
Never open an umbrella indoors—though not uniquely Russian, some observe it
If your ears ring, someone is talking about you—guess which ear and make a wish if correct
Never pour drinks into a mug and leave it overnight—demons may visit
If it rains when you leave a place, you’ll return there
