Why do we knock on wood when things go well? Why do we say "Bless you" after a simple sneeze, throw coins into fountains, or freeze when a black cat crosses our path?

In Gods, Ghosts & Good Luck, the author takes you on a spellbinding journey across continents and centuries to uncover the hidden histories behind 15 of humanity's most enduring superstitions. Blending meticulous historical detective work with atmospheric storytelling-stretching from childhood cricket matches to modern boardrooms-this book reveals that behind every bizarre tradition lies a deeply human story.

Discover how a chaotic ancient rebellion hardened into a taboo against Thursday haircuts, or how a single cat wandering into an 1893 photograph somehow became a modern ritual for marital prosperity.

This book doesn't mock or blindly validate the lore handed down through generations. Instead, it invites you to look closer at what you take for granted, asking not whether you should believe, but whether you understand why you believe. Once you know the real story, following it is no longer a reflex-it's a choice.
