Friday the 13th: The most baffling French superstitions
Friday the 13th: The most baffling French superstitions
The French have some positively unusual superstitions. Here's a selection. While the French may not fear the dreaded Friday the 13th as much as some others, they still remain a superstitious bunch.

But other superstitions appear to be more unique to France. Here are some of the strangest. https://www.thelocal.fr/20171013/fre...ustoms-culture |

Seems I remember Varg V talking about this. When the annual calendar is based on months with 28 days, coinciding with a womans monthly cycle, the result is a 13 month year. Pagan calendar. The bad luck of 13 is a Christian concept. Everything about Christianity is an attack on nature.

My Balkan-derived Mom once beat me for putting my dad's hat on a bed. She totally ballistic. I guess I got back at her, though, having inadvertently rocked an empty rocking chair.
