Having decided that my research topic would be lucky and unlucky things, I did some primary research and asked people on the course what lucky and unlucky things they know of. The list is as follows.
Lucky Things
4 leaf clover
picking a penny up
rabbit's foot
all seeing eye
dream catchers
elephants
numbers - 11:11, 7, 1
knocking on wood
horse shoe
jaguar tooth
crossing your fingers
lucky underwear
Unlucky Things
3 drain covers
breaking a mirror
friday the 13th
black cats
crows
magpies
opening umbrella indoors
saying "good luck" to actors
knocking salt over
peacock feathers
walking under a ladder
stepping on a crack in a pavement (break your mothers back)
666
When I have a completed the list I will then do research into the reasoning behind why they are considered lucky or unlucky.
