The full rhyme is: one for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy, five for silver, six for gold and seven for a secret never to be told
Laura C.C. 8 for a message from over seas, 9 for a love as true as can be!

Irish myth : Conor McGregor winning the fight
english myth: recovering after brexit
Lee *British myth. It's Britain that's leaving, not just England.
Also it was a good fight, I was rooting for McGregor but let's face it he didn't have a chance.
Lee right
Antony at least he didn't have to buy his other big matches cough cough canelo cough cough paquaio
The weirdest superstition I grew up with was that you had to break the shells when you ate boiled eggs, or else witches would use them to make boats and go out to sink ships. I have never met another person who also does this!
Where are you from?
Man, I was hoping they'd mention the South Korean "leaving a fan on will suffocate you" one.

2:40 Moving east from Japan to Russia?
Russia is both West and East of Japan. And North.
The only country farther east then Russia is the USA which means yes you can move East from Japan and end up in Russia
I miss my Russian home
Blayne, you must know that the Earth is an ellipsoid
Well I suppose you would get there eventually if you travelled for long enough
Sonny Mattsson some parts of Russia are east of Japan.
You talk about superstitions and you don't even mention india what kind of research have you done
If you eat raw celery together with raw carrots on a Tuesday, you risk alien abduction.
butwhytho
You can make a religion out of this...
Giygas lul , Imagine ===》 People worshiping threes , mirrors are forbidden , black cats would have private roads so you cant meet them , people will no longer shake hands spitting is more respectful . Add more

Flaze GD Very very true my man
I learned a crazy new superstition when my grandfather passed.. apparently pregnant women aren't allowed to attend the funeral or socialize with someone who recently lost someone. The reasoning was that it would invite unwanted spirits, cursing/killing the unborn child. Had cousin and a cousin's wife miss out on the funeral (they don't believe it themselves, but for sake of the superstitious ones they skipped out. The cousin's wife though, did join us in after events. Kid is fine..). Chinese if you're wondering.
Yes that’s right :/ or if someone in the family.. even a distant one like uncle, if they pass away; we have to ask if the one getting married is comfortable with us attending their wedding. Because apparently it’s consider bad luck
we have the same in Lebanon 🇱🇧
superstition in Greece:
owls nest in your house=bad
opening an umbrella in your house=bad
make a toast with a glass of water=bad
there are a ton of them.
fun fact: in ancient greece it was common to huck an apple at someone you liked, apples represented love and fertility so it was thought to increase the chances that said person would develop feelings for you
Craziest one is "my mom told me tht if you cut your nails during the night than your son or daughter will become cleaner who will clean street " i was like wtffffffff
I'm usally cutting my nails at night it's not happen to me
krishna kumar also I heard cutting your nails at someone else's house means ur nails will grow ugly also an Egyptian supersition is if u leave a Shoe, sneaker, flip flop, etc. upside down brings u bad luck
lmao!!!
In Philippine superstition cutting your nails during the night might result to a family member or loved one dying
@@adminjamie me too
I busted a mirror and got seven years bad luck, but my lawyer thinks he can get me five!
No! You do not write Tyrion's name in red!
one for sorrow two for joy 3 for a girl 4 for a boy 5 for silver 6 for gold 7 for a secret never to be told.also thanks for mentioning Ireland!!
You do not say hello mr magpie, you salute it! Its quite funny when youre sitting on the bus and you see people saluting randomly
A superstition that I was told before and still bring along till this day is that whenever you see a black moth flying around in the house, someone is coming over. Surprisingly this did work every time with the person either being an already informed guest or sometimes my parents coming over around 10 minutes after the moth appeared.
I know this is four years old but imma added to this one since I grew up on this:
In one Hawaiian superstition, if a black moth visits you, it means that your ancestor is watching over you.
If the black moth flies from each corner of the room, someone in that room will die.
If the black moth lands on you, it also means your ancestor is watching over you but you'll get good luck.
1:20 it's actually magic mirror on the wall. Not mirror mirror. That's an example of the Mandela effect.
It's not the Mandela effect. "Mirror mirror" was in the original Grim tales and most people prefer this instead of "magic mirror". People remember this "incorrectly" because the originals said "mirror mirror".
I don't really believe in the Mandela Effect. It's an excuse for people that can't remember events clearly and just get even more confused by other people that remember it differently.
Matthew Wash Came from LEMMINO?
Matthew Wash U came from lemmino right?
T DH I was about to say so XD
Btw to anyone reading this, LEMMINO is one of youtube's finest channels.
We do spit for good luck in Greece, but we do not release any spittle, we just make noise.
Jeez, you guys pump out vidoes so quick! It's insane!
You missed South Asian superstitions
Rattan Singh how about philippine superstitions? theyre interesting,the most common one i think is before going home from "begil"(something cemetary related,not really burial tho) you have to go to a different location first.(or as we call it "pag pag")
Rattan Singh wheres Singapore and Malaysia superstitions
roaster Insta ikr
Rattan Singh he missed it probably to avoid making mistakes about that part of the world
The Magpie one is a bigger rhyme than that - 1 for sorrow, 2 for joy, 3 for a girl, 4 for a boy, 5 for silver, 6 for gold, 7 for a secret never to be told, 8 for a wish, 9 for for a kiss and 10 for a bird you must not miss
The death by writing name in red ink also applies in China! Such a culture shock after going to the States for school seeing students and teachers write their name in red ink... In China my friends would never write in red even if that's the only pen they had.
‘Open the door and if you see a single magpie its bad luck’
Huh, the cheeky buggers would tap on the door and waltz right on in having a nosy. (I loved it. They would sing beautiful songs and bring their babies to visit and all it cost me was a small bit of whatever i was eating).
First time I am happy that India is not mentioned in a video, even though it has many superstition's😜😂😂
On the website Snopes, I found out about some methods for curing the seven years of bad luck that are said to result from breaking a mirror. It's an interesting read, and then I realized that in stories, especially TV shows, that feature that superstition, nobody ever mentions those remedies. The characters act like once you break the mirror, you're *stuck* with the seven years' bad luck. No option, no exceptions.
Fan death in South Korea is something I always found interesting. Or the giving of clocks as a wedding present in China because your symbolizing that the relationship will only last for a certain amount of time.
"I am not superstitious, I am only a little stitious."
-Micheal Scott
My father always told me that is a black cat crosses road before you then it doesn't signify you will get bad luck what it actually means is cat is is in a greater hurry then you are in.
Superstitions are everywhere. Throwing bridal bouquets, wearing a white wedding dress, groom not seeing bride before wedding, something old, new, borrowed, blue, carying bride over threshhold of a house, tieing cans and junk to a car and dragging them as you drive away, there are all popular bits of nonsense in my area.
i like the way how he speaks
1:22 that'd be "Magic mirror on the wall" thank you :)
Ananyo Ganguly in grims fairytales its mirror mirror.

If i dont wear my lucky underwear to school ill fail my test.
In Italy saying "Happy birthday" before they're birthday brings bad luck
I have an idea : The most popular video game countdown
I'm Thai, giving u thumbs up for good info research, the fact that most of Thai people doesn't even know why we won't have our hair cut on Wed. Good job.
dropped a spoon and still waiting for my women
It should not be intentional.
dang it
Are you still waiting?
2:58 Even numbers are for funerals? Well then, I must be dead.
Romania is a wonderful country...but its old people are crazy supersticious and religious unfortunately
Raul Romania isn't that great
The Irish rhyme goes:
1 for sorrow
2 for joy
3 for a girl
4 for a boy
5 for silver
6 for gold
7 for a secret never to be told
1:21 it's "Magic Mirror on the wall who's the fairest one of all?"
Isn't it "Mirror mirror"? I have never heard "magic mirror".
Brazilian superstition: a bride can’t eat food straight from the pan or else it will rain on her wedding day
"Moving east to Russia".... what? you were talking about Japan... Russia is to the west of Japan (or north at the very least).
DeviilReaper well if you go to north-east at one poit you will be there :) But you are right haha
Actually the only country farther to the east then Russia is the USA
Blayne Peterson Well USA is not farther it is closer... you need almost full circle around the earth to reach russia from Japan going east and about 1/3-1/2 to USA (Depends what part (Alaska or Rest of USA))
Clash with Stenky dum dum Alaska is part of the USA do you not realize that and because parts of Alaska cross the International Date Line they are farther east there are a couple islands that are ride across the International Date Line making the United States the country farthest to the East and farthest to the West thanks again to Alaska
And parts of Russia do come rather close to the International Date Line making it farther east then Japan however most of it is to the west of Japan but that does not mean that you cannot travel in an Eastward Direction and not end up in Russia
Blayne Peterson I am sorry ... my english is bad so that might be why you didn't understand me... I sad parts of USA (Alaska or Rest of USA) wich means Alaska is part of USA ! And again you are right about islands... I was just talking about main land (or however you call it) Again sry for bad english... I agree with you👍
Its actually "Magic mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all?" Its not "Mirror mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all?" Some crazy psychological phenomena here.
These things are so disturbing and foolish.....
mian fazle razik ye but its beautiful . I Admire superstutions there is always a story behind , and require a large immagination .

If 1 magpie fly over newcastle (city in north east of england) stadium durring a match we lose if theres 2 we win.
so there were maggots in our garbage and one of our neighbors said that’s a sign someone is about to die- this just messed my night up cause my body has been hurting and I think I’m experiencing heart palpitations but I’m unable to go to the doctor because of lockdown and now I’ve been paranoid since March that I’m might die.... the last thing I needed was my superstitious neighbor to tell me maggots in our trash is a sign someone will die-
Superstitions Are Just Satanic Nonsense, It Can't Hurt You If You Resist It.

In India, sleeping facing North or West is great. Sleeping facing South is bad since its the direction the dead are laid to rest.
Did you create all of the drawings in this video? Just curious as your art style looks a bit different.
I talked to him. I believe he has an editing team etc. He used to do stuff alone when he was a smaller channel he told me.
I like how in America most superstitions have some history and old beliefs/reasoning that have formed them, but in Japan it's like "hide your thumbs or your parents will die"

Here’s some more superstitions:
Fun facts:
1-you should never write names in red pen since in Korean superstition red is bad luck and it's the same as cursing someone
2-geisha would wear white powder since if the candles when out the light would catch on their faces and illuminate the room but it would make them look pale like a ghost so they wore red makeup so evil spirits wouldn't harm them
3-it's believed if you keep a broom upside down it will ward off guests you don't like so if you see one it might mean they don't like you very much
4-if you sneeze on a Sunday the devil will chase you all next week
5-if you see a light and whistle at it the devil will slap you in the face
6- if you see a magpie you should tip your hat and ask how it’s wife is doing or you’ll get bad luck
7-if you give yellow flowers to someone you’re cursing them with infidelity
8-if a pregnant woman mocks someone their baby will have the same features of the people they mocked
9-if a funeral vehicle goes by while you’re laughing you’ll be next
10-if you roll in morning dew at dawn you’ll become beautiful
11-if you clip your nails at night a rat will eat them and become a monster version of you and torment you
12-if you come home after 6pm you have to walk in backwards or evil spirits will follow you in
13-if you’re the last to walk in a evil spirit will follow you
14-if you wash on New Year’s Day a loved one will dye
15-if you sneeze or cough twice someone is talking behind your back
16-once your cat grows old it will turn into a vampiric shapeshifting cat that can turn others into zombies by jumping over them apparently
17-on Christmas you must leave an extra plate and let a stranger join you or else you will receive bad luck
18-hide your brooms on Christmas or a witch will steal them
19-hide your knives on Halloween or else a ghost will steal them
20-if you don’t touch your collar when you see a funeral vehicle or you’ll be next

Bosnian Superstitions
1. Doing laundry on a Tuesday is bad luck and demons will come to your house.
2. Going out at night as a kid is bad luck because you could get kidnapped by the mythical witch Baba Roga and get taken away to her chicken legged house (yes a witch house on two giant chicken legs).
3. Being outside at dusk is very bad luck because that is when the demons began to come out.
4. Never mention snakes around small children, especially babies, since it is very bad luck. If you do, then you have to make a noise that sounds a bit like "Psss" or like snake noise.
5. Don't sit on the bare ground or else your ovaries will freeze.
6. Pouring candy and money over a baby when you see it for the first time (for friends and family) for good luck.
7. Covering the lips of a new born with sugar for good luck.
8. Coffee grinds at the bottom of your cup (we drink that shit dark as night with the grinds) can be used for fortune telling. The shape tells you your fortune.
9. Stepping over someone who is laying down steals their ability to grow. (told to children)
10. Same as number 9 but instead of stepping over someone, you put your feet up against theirs (sole to sole). I think this is just to stop kids from being annoying lol
11. I'm sure there is more, but I can just throw it all into one category, Religion
I wish my people weren't so.... childish
Edit: And yes... I have had multiple exorcism done on me... My people are a special type of crazy
explain about israel vs palestin
matan guedj Israel still the land of Palestine
Where is India/Pakistan?
We have a lot of superstitions! 😂
I'm Irish and no one believes in those superstitions.
Cannell of Glory I know Ireland isn't huge but I suspect you haven't done a census on whether everyone believes these superstitions or not. I'm from Scotland and although I'm sure plenty of us don't believe in some superstitions I would never be confident in saying no one does
Whereabouts in Ireland mate? I'm sure alot of it is regional and I'm sure some people believe in those superstitions, you don't know everyone in Ireland after all.
Both of those Irish superstitions are around in the UK as well, though finding four-leaved clovers is generally an activity for kids and 'hello, sir magpie' is more of a habit for those who say it than anything else.
i know i was exaggerating by saying no one believes in those superstitions, but most people don't. BTW im from the country side in Cork and if anyone was to believe in superstitions it would be the people from the country. also Ireland is a relatively small country and i have been to a lot of the county's and ive never came across anyone who believes in those superstitions, how ever most people i know will laugh at a superstition like if we see a hole in a tree or if we see a fairy fort. FYI the real colour of a leprechaun is red... if they were to exist.
Cannell of Glory We believe them in England...
One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy.
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret, never to be told,
Eight for a wish,
Nine for a kiss,
Ten for a bird you shan't not miss!
what if you knock on a door?
Jonathan Zapata, Martinez That is bad luck...
Someone will open it and hit you in your face :D
Clash with Stenky, lesson learned!
The number of grains of rice left on your plate will be the number of pimples on your future spouse's face.
Japan vs North Korea
it's funny to think magpies are bad luck in Ireland, but good luck in China, but Crows are bad luck in China, even though their the same family of birds along with blue jays

When you said the definition in the beginning it made me think “A celebrity coming to visit me would be a superstition” 😂😭😂
I'm Indian and most of the Japanese applies to me
I'm not superstitious - I did the calculator paper for my GCSE Maths on Friday 13th and I now have a B for GCSE Maths. (I was in set 5 for maths, out of 7 sets)
haha
All These Contradicting Superstitions Can Cause A Person To Litterally Have OCD, It Happened To Me Once For A Year And I Suffered Heavily Everytime I Did ANYTHING.
I'm Glad That Christianity Helped Free Me From All That Nonsense Superstitions.

I always throw salt over my left shoulder when I spill something on the table.
I believe that everything including inanimate objects have souls
I'm not superstitious, I'm a little stitious.
I’m not a believer of superstitions. A thing called an “education” has taught me a thing called “Murphy’s law”
In Colombia we have a _lot_ of weird legends...
In Romania peoples don't kill butterflyies that got into theyr house because it's believed it is the soul of a dead child.
99% of the comments are 'why isn't India mentioned?'But I'm glad it isn't mentioned!Cuz every time it is..half the comments are a warzone between Indians and Paks(I'm Indian BTW)😂😂
Put a willow chip under a dog's head while he's dreaming, then put the chip under your pillow the next night. You'll have the same dream.
In some country there's a superstition that if you touch heads with someone you will grow horn and if you want to fix that you just knock your head against that person an even amount of times
"Everytime you broke a Mirror"
Im sorry, am I the only one that dosen't break mirrors? XD
My superstition: step on a Lego, get your girl Prego.
Oh so that's the origin of death note
im so superstitious that believing in superstitions is bad luck. lol
There's a superstition back in my hometown that if you drink lemon and milk at the same time, you'll die.
