National Defy Superstition Day can be started by stepping under a ladder and holding a horseshoe up the right way. Superstitions abound in the world, from spitting salt on your head to worrying about black cats to throwing salt on your shoulder. National Defy Superstition Day allows you to challenge these bizarre beliefs and prove that a single magpie or stepping on cracked pavement do not have any influence on your daily life.

A “Defy Superstition Party” is a great way to celebrate. Red and white must be worn by all guests. They should also eat at the same table for 13 and put their umbrellas up while indoors. You can also challenge yourself to break as many superstitions in an hour. National Defy Superstition Day offers a great way to confront your fears.
