Superstitions are rather preva
lent among the Pennsylvania
Germans. If you were raised in a
household where they were be
lieved, you may never be able to
get over them. I remember being
told by a friend that her mother
always changed the calendars on
the first of each month. By doing
this, she was the boss of the
house for that month. Often a
piece of jewelry can become a
good luck symbol.
My parents did not want to ac
cept a two dollar bill as it was a
sign of bad luck. A great aunt of
mine would not say “thank you”
for a plant, as then the plant
would die. And, if she gave one
away, she did not expect a
“thank you” either.
Many superstitions have to do
with bad luck. I was always told
never to sew a garment while you
are wearing it.

come between us.
My grandfather always put
one shoe in front of another
when he went to bed so that he
would rise to walk the next day.
Even though my grandmother
was told it was bad luck to sew
on Sunday, she embroidered as
she said it was the only day that
she had time to do it. I can be
lieve her as she certainly had no
conveniences in 1873 when she
was married as we have today.
My mother forbid me to whis
tle as it was a sign that I’d come
to no good. She would say, “A
girl that whistles is like a hen
that crows and should have her
head chopped off.” She was told
many superstitions and she
passed them on to me.
I think we all know of the
good luck charm of carrying a
four-leaf clover or a rabbit’s foot.
And often as a child, we pulled
the wishbone of the chicken
apart and made a wish if we got
the long end.
