Superstitions

Lilac

The lilac is regarded as one of the 'drowsy-scented flowers' and as such ill-omened. White lilacs in particular should not be taken into a house - and especially not a hospital - while the purple and red varieties are also regarded with some suspicion. The only luck associated with this flower is to find one of the rare five-petalled lilac blossoms of any colour

Ink Spot

It has been a superstition in the British Isles for several centuries that to spill some ink while writing a letter is an omen of good luck - even if it may somewhat spoil the look of the correspondence!

Fly

That old joke about the fly in the soup and the waiter's instant response, actually evolved from an omen that a fly which falls into a glass or dish from which someone is about to drink is a sign of prosperity. There is, though, no indication that this happy future will be affected in any way if you change the drink or soup for a fresh one!
