I don't think I need to be enlightened to see that some things stem from superstition, Frank. For example if I spill salt, picking up a pinch of it and throwing it over my shoulder would be a 'foreign' practice to me. Its an old English superstitious belief ...as was the belief that its unlucky to see more than 2 black birds together, or to bring hawthorn blossom into a house etc etc

I could give lots more examples but I don't have time at the moment!
