Silly Superstitions are as Old as the Hills. Here’s how to have fun with them.

Today is Friday the 13th and that’s about as funny as silly superstitions get.  From Norse mythology to the last supper to a slew of slasher movies, the whole thing has turned into a laugh as it should be.  Here’s some perspective.  Growing up I often spent time with a wonderful girl named Stephanie.  She was a died in the wool horror movie fan and I never quite understood her fascination.  She’d laugh as we watched the monkey brains scene in Faces of Death, Freddie Kruger’s soul pizza, Jason doing his thing at Camp Crystal Lake and all the rest.  I wasn’t really ever frightened but I wasn’t howling with laughter either.  Except for Saturday the 14th. an underrated film all about silly superstitions and such. It would be a couple of years before I started developing a sense of humor about horror movies, silly superstitions and that ilk.

It started With The Fresh Prince…

…then on to my post-grad work in metaphysics with Astral Al Manning.  I just today wrapped up publishing the eBook version of The Magic of The White Unicorn when I came across one of Al’s most famous sayings; “If I can’t have a good time then I ain’t going! And that damned well includes my own funeral!” Al’s infusion of humor into literally everything had a profound effect on me.  Not only did what he taught me level up my personal power, I had a lot of fun doing it! On a more somber note, my teenage self slowly discovered I could harm spirits if I so chose.  I developed this skill driven by the mistaken belief that one of my mom’s dearest and closest friends was haunting me from the grave.  She had recently passed away, a most violent death, and the entire experience rattled me.  It would be years before I realized my mistake and made amends to her on the other side and reparations here on earth by keeping her youngest daughter Hillary in a distant, unobtrusive orbit along the periphery of perception.

Present day nothing of this world – or any other – is a cause for concern for me.  Most times if something seemingly silly (to me) occurs I’ll laugh at it which usually does the trick.

Keep smiling and keep it fun.  Laughter really is the best medicine and the best defense against practically anything.
