Whenever I am working at the register there is an aussie mint of a certain dollar coin that portrays the fluer-di-lys. If I am handed this coin, I believe that it will be a good day.
I also strive to keep as many of these coins in my wallet as possible. (I am loath to give them up)

When it comes to a very important roll of the dice in wargamming (matchdeciding or epic roll etc) then I kiss my tooth necklace and offer a prayer to Lady Luck. Needless to say this gets more than a few odd glances from my opponents/onlookers. My girl hasn't let me down yet. Apart from that one time where my friend did it first and in his prayer told her that I called her a b*tch. (seriously, true story) ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255223/952846.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255223/952846.page GMT Re:Superstitions http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255223/952855.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255223/952855.page GMT Superstitions

In britain two pence pieces have fluer-di-lys on them and most people find them a pain in the neck.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255223/952856.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255223/952856.page GMT Superstitions http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255223/952859.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255223/952859.page GMT Superstitions http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255223/952863.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255223/952863.page GMT Superstitions When I watch a magpie watching me watching it.

The two that stand out in my mind are the following. Once when I was driving down to the Sentry Box in Calgary to play my buddy's Dark Elves, I saw two Hawks in the sky battling. I chose one and watched. Then, the one I had chosen won and chased the other one off. I won the game later in the afternoon. The other time was, I was in the parking lot of the same shop, going to play the same buddy on a different Saturday and on my way into the store I saw an Alsatian taking a dump in the bushes right by the door with a big red dog boner going. Instantly, I knew I was going to loose. And I did.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255223/952916.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255223/952916.page GMT Superstitions

I also consider spiders/moths to be good luck charms, so if one gets in the house, I let them back outside to have some of their luck transferred to me.

You can negate the bad luck by greeting the lone magpie. You do look like 'a weird' doing it though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255223/953927.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255223/953927.page GMT Superstitions

Heh, one of the few times I ever forgot my phone when I went to classes when I was in law school was my second year. I get an IM from my roomate who heard my phone ringing, saw it was our mutual friend who was on Navy shore leave, and told me about it. I had to arrange for him, our buddy and his wife, and my gf at the time to all meet up at a certain place. My GF was so pissed about that, as she was really close with my buddy's wife, that even though we were engaged later that year it was in many ways the back slide of our relationship, and we broke up about six months later. Now, how mad should a person be at a somebody for forgetting their phone? Not very, but it was enough to bring out all kinds of problems and concerns she had in our relationship.

So, while I don't consider it a superstition, I try to avoid leaving my phone when I leave the apartment.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255223/954178.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255223/954178.page GMT
