Sip Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Me neither. Plus I think superstitions are a sign of an over active mind and an inability to rationalize or understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymouse Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 I feel inferior to your rational minds out there. Maybe I should go backwards under the latter to reverse the curse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheekY Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 the only thing i believe is if you curse(anitsel) someone you'll be the one punished. because whatever you do is for your own good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
den_wolf Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 LOL. How about "reading surji kavateh"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheekY Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 nope i consider it the same as giving shape to clouds? and i'm not talking about "tught-u-gir" like Gevo said... just when you wish someone bad luck in life you're the one to get it in the first place.

Anonymouse Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Call me superstitious, but I believe in the paranormal and the supernatural. Some things, science and logic cannot explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anonymouse Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Well, I definitely believe in curses, and evil forces, and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
den_wolf Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 I was watching a program about ghosts and the such once, and there was this lady who claimed to "connect" with the spirits in a certain house and "know" the way they killed themselves (which was, according to her, why they were haunting the place?) Oh man, if you had seen her, you would've instantly considered her the best actress in the world. HAHAHA. Pathetic is more like it. And she was all crying and stuff.. My my my..

Anonymouse Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 (edited) Such as? How do you explain seeing a dream before it happens, or highlighting an event to come? Edited February 15, 2004 by Anonymouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel4hope Posted February 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 i agree...ive had that happen a lot of times...although i hate to believe it, it's true. ive seen people in my dreams who ive never met before in my life, and all of a sudden, when im out somewhere or just driving and I see that same person in real life...it creeps me out totally... oh and okie i guess i am superstitious, because i get really scared when it comes to witchcraft and all that stuff...i never believed in it before, but after seeing certain things-this girl that used 2 be in my class in high school, i seriously am afraid of those things...

den_wolf Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 That's hardly if ever paranormal.. LOL. It's called anxious episode-weaving (not a formal term, just one I constructed).. How do I know, well, I don't. But you don't know that it's paranormal either. Just because we don't understand it doesn't mean it's paranormal.

My dad had a "vision" about me when I was hospitalized as a kid. My mom saw my dad in a dream before she even met him. How does one explain these things. I would indeed want to know.

Sasun Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 I don't belive in supserstitions either, but I don't think "vision" that Anon is talking about is superstition. Superstition is more like fear+fantasy, or fantasy+some other feeling. There is no experience with superstition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasun Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 God? Actually no wolfie, at least not with me. To me satan would be a better candidate for such a superstition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpa Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Snapashtum, Superstition. Literally the Armenian word means "worship of/in the vain". Are Armenians superstititious? Some time ago we were talking about this. QUOTE (Sip @ Sep 27 2003, 01:52 AM) Azat, I think it comes from Arabic. If I'm not mistaken, it's something like "whatever god wants" or something. There is another very common one "Inshalla" which is more used when you hope god will do something (god willing). Exactly. Ironically the two phrases are antitheses of sach other, they are both based on the middle syllable "sha'", to will. Whereas insha'Allah means God willing, the other, in a twisted way means "may God not will" (that something bad happen), with the negative "ma" priefix it is almost like rubbing ones' vorik when a compliment is given so as to propect from evil eye. In other words when one says "mashallah inch siroun erekha e" , it actually means "God forbid" that something bad happens to this beautiful baby. Here is where the above exchange is from. http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=7109&hl=inshalla And now we read this in ArmeniaNow. I mean, I sort of know that it is a superstition and that if an Armenian says something good, he – mindful of history – is supposed to acknowledge the possibility of something going horribly wrong and, somehow, knocking on wood is supposed to prevent the latter. Full story below. Yes I know Hytga aired this in its entirety elswhere, I'm sure he didn't know about this thread. http://www.armenianow.com/2004/may28/outsideeye/index.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koko Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 (edited) Thanks for the article in armenianow. I had a reeaally good laugh out of it:lol: Edited May 31, 2004 by koko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurgen Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Well I always put my right football boot on first. I heard a famous player did that too, and it always brought him luck. Though now it's become more habit than superstition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymouse Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 I had a vision that Satan would visit this thread, and look what did I tell you? http://www.symposion.se/bilder/drphil1b.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
