Very Superstitious: Don't forget the Salt!

This week, Jacklynn and Stevie are diving deep into the world of superstitions—or as Jacklynn calls it, being "a little stitious."In this episode, the Weirdos unpack the ancient, often terrifying origins behind the things we do to avoid a hex. We’re traveling from the sacred triangles of Ancient Egypt to the gallows of medieval England to find out why we’re all so afraid of ladders and broken mirrors.In this episode, we discuss:Knock on Wood: Are you thanking tree spirits or just trying to drown out your own bragging from spiteful fairies?The Great Salt Toss: Why throwing salt over your left shoulder is basically a tactical move to blind the Devil. 🧂😈Ladders & Sacred Geometry: Why walking under a ladder was once considered "breaking" a holy space (and why Stevie spent his childhood purposefully walking under them).Friday the 13th & Triscodecophobia: From Loki’s uninvited dinner party antics to the "super unlucky" combination of Fridays and the number 13.Black Cats & Treason: How King Charles I’s bad luck started a centuries-long PR nightmare for our favourite void-coloured felines. 🐈‍⬛Sneezing Souls: Why saying "Bless You" is actually a spiritual door-lock to keep wandering witches from hopping into your empty body.Plus, we talk about Osiris the Cat, the mystery of the 13-month moon calendar, and why Jacklynn got kicked out of music class for "aggressive sneezing."Send us Fan MailWant more Weirdos of Whimsy?
