The Devil Has Been Watching You Cook This Whole Time

Описание: Why do we knock on wood? Why do we avoid black cats? Why do we hold our breath near cemeteries? In this video we uncover the dark and surprising origins of everyday superstitions - and what they reveal about human psychology.
From ancient pagan rituals to medieval plague, from Egyptian gods to Norse mythology, every superstition you perform daily has a history far stranger and darker than you think.
In this video we cover:

Knocking on wood and the ancient tree spirits behind it
Why saying bless you started as a plague survival strategy
How killing black cats accidentally caused the Black Death
The Roman belief that mirrors contain your soul
Why Friday the 13th has its own medical term
The real reason you throw salt over your left shoulder

These were not cute traditions. They were psychological survival tools born from fear, death and a world that felt completely out of control. And somehow they ended up in your daily habits.
If you have ever wondered why humans do the things they do, this video is for you.
