God is real and he hates us. There is no afterlife and if there is it isn’t likely to be heaven, so enjoy life to the fullest and if immortality is ever within our grasp, seize it.

I wouldn't fuck with neither ouija, necromancy nor Goetia either, even if the effect is just psychosomatic there's something visceral going on there and its not healthy, . And if you are a believer in the spiritual those are still not things to mess with lightly, even wizards recomend to not do it unless you are lvl 60 as it involves dangerous elementals and astral parasites.
I knew a woman who was legitimately paranoid about evil eye and had all sort of charms against it. She had a red string with an azabache charm that broked one day and she freaked out about it, it was a whole crisis. She was crazy for more reasons than just that though.
I don't cover the mirrors but one of the bathrooms here has no window to the outside so its pitch black when you close the door, looking into the mirror in that room freaks me out a lot, i can't shut the lights off and stare at it without scaring myself, i inmediatly bail out.
There's a popular ritual for scrying with a mirror that involves sitting in the dark with a mirror and a candle for a prolonged period of time, people made creepypastas about it but fuck that, i wouldn't be able to do that even for a few minutes on a dare. That actually psyches me out a lot even if i know its my own mind fucking with me
I heard it can be any piece of iron, since goblins don't like it. Also that leaving a glass of sea salt and vinegar under the bed staves off bad energies

In my family is 11 or variants , like 111 or 11.11 . Its always been an horrible omen.

This for sure. It's come up in the Internet Pagans thread as well.
Leaving aside any and all spooky-dookies, it fucks with you mentally.
All those girls who think that burning salt in a pan will reveal the name of those that wish them harm, or that a weird egg is the sign of a curse: they've all trained themselves to see danger at every turn.
Everyone who thinks they can do magic to get what they want distorts their locus of control.
The opposite can be true, too, but there's a reason why "magicians" and shit learned from elders and not "their peers" on TikTok or whatever.
Someone who trains you do change your mentality under the guise of calling it magic can actually help people who need that guidance to be presented under frameworks that might not work for other people.
E.g. Having a spiritual teacher who trains you to break certain behavioral patterns under the umbrella of a religion, rather than as a therapist, can be helpful to some.

I don't believe in passing salt, broken mirrors, knocking on wood and the like, but I am very certain in my belief that extraterrestrials are real and have some presence on this Earth. I'm not as sold on the Shadow People or other cryptids though.

A lot of magical operations read more like creative exercises , the kind a writter or an artist would do to play with concepts and see things differently but at its worst its self induced psychosis.

I've seen it happen a lot of times before in my life, I personally believe that Karma exists and punishes heavily to some shitty people. My personal theory on why it doesn't happen to some evil people is because the people who do bad balance it on doing good things, even if it's not from the good from their heart. The former is why I also believe that good guys always die sooner than the evil ones.

This is all a sort of "working theory" I've developed after several personal experiences and research into both big religions and spirituality.
The universe is a natural being of balance of esoteric origin and is eager to maintain this balance. We as humans (and possibly other sentient life out there, if there is any) are like a measurement tool initially created to make sure this balance is monitored and maintained, made easy by the fact that we're on a small scale.
Spirits are real, demons are real, angels are real, however as humans tend to do, we've tried to fit them into boxes that makes them easier to understand for us when this isn't productive.
"Demons" are nothing more than a naturally evolved spiritual entities of largely parasitic nature that gain energy from people's negative emotions and actions. "Angels" are like the immume system of the universe, constantly adapting and improving in order to maintain balance to offset demonic influence.
My take on spirits is that if there's still a lot of negative emotion attached to a person when they die, they're kept around in a way where "demons" can have them to themselves and are essentially kept as livestock to maintain negative "energy" for the entities to feed off of. In rare cases spirits can also be an attempt by those that passed to provide protection against demonic influence to those in mourning or experiencing a rough patch in life.
Some people are more aware/ "in tune" with this side of existence than others (no, not schizophrenics) and methods can be used for people who aren't naturally more in tune to experience part of it. Think about how people that are off their heads on benadryl often all see a man in a hat or people on DMT all see the same type of entities. I don't think these substances offer a clear and perfect view of everything how it is since the human mind is made to fill in gaps to create understanding and ofcourse anything chemical has an impact on your body, including your brain.
I developed this "working theory" from personal experiences with "entities", where it wasn't just me experiencing anything but others around me had as well. I started noticing patterns that weird stuff would be happening whenever bad stuff was occuring in life. I've been scratched, seen apparitions (mostly shadowy beings), had stuff move around, I have EVP recordings. I haven't touched hallucinogenics or deliriants myself because quite frankly I think I'm a person they would do more harm than good for, however I've talked with plenty of people who have.

While I don't actually believe in it, a superstitious habit I picked up from my mum is to pull your hair whenever you see a dead animal, otherwise you go bald.

I suspect it’s down to smell for hawthorn. It stinks like death. Pretty blossom. It the smell is awful. I’m not sure about cherry blossom though.
New shoes on the table where I’m from is down to that if a miner died down the pit they’d put his shoes on the table so it’s a sign to tempt death. I’ve also heard elsewhere it was down men being hanged in the boots so when the corpse was laid out the shoes would be on the table. Either way it tempts death.
The horseshoe one is interesting - almost all cultures have this thing with iron don’t they? Horseshoes in England are down to the legend that a smith (st. Dunstable was working when the devil came in and demanded shoes. He wouldn’t let him say no so he nailed red hot horseshoes on. The devil begs to get them removed and substance agrees on the promise that the devil will never enter a building with a horseshoe on. )But I’ve also heard where the smith made a deal with the devil to be able to work with any material and then nails the hot iron on and gets the devil to give him back his soul.
I wonder what it is with iron? I just remembered another one. Some of the older folk would say ‘cold iron’ and touch iron if people swore or did anything that was bad luck.
Not sure about Iona I will have to go look that up! A nice rabbit hole…

Before pumping gas you have to rub both your hands on the side of the car so you won't cause a spark and then a fire.

The sweater curse for yarn crafters is real. This is one of the reasons why I won't make clothes for my loved ones or partners and will only give them accessories and such.
Karma is real. The afterlife is real. Reincarnation is real. But you don't always have to be a human over and over again. You can choose whatever you want after you die.
Ghosts are real.
When you misplace something or forget something, always go back for it. That's a sign that something is trying to delay you and is trying to keep you safe and keep you in the good timeline where you are unharmed.

Multiverses exist, theyre infinite in number and are used to describe the probability range from 0-1 of any event. The intersection of the possibilities of an infinite set of events forms the multiverses. For example given an event WWII happened and didnt happen, it has the probabilities from 0-1 with a 2:3 ratio of not happening to happening, the multiverse set consists of 2/5th of universes where it didnt happen and 3/5th of universes where it did. Apply that to probability theory and stuff like dependent, mutually exclusive and inclusive events then you have a good picture. Theres a universe where the holocaust happened to european men enacted by african women where africa didnt win the civilizational race, theres a universe where George Bush lost the 2000 election while being a woman called Georgina who was a disabled democrat, so on and so forth. The orientation of universes in the set is dictated by an event gradient where universes with less difference in events exist close to each other while ones with large differences in events cannot exist close to each other due to friction. Universes with completely different outcomes on every event in history have to be oriented at diametrically opposite ends of the circle. Its possible to time travel by using the penrose wormhole theory but not within the same universe but between universes because of their parallel nature, folding space wouldnt be necessary as it would be easier travelling in between spaces than folding the same space.
God doesnt exist, theres only probability and it doesnt have conscience or sentience. To each unto their own.

Fugg, I hope the dude responsible for me is getting overtime. The number of times I misplace something....

What's this?
"The Mountains of Tibet" is a mind-blowing book if you read it as a child.
Also:
"Bhikkhave, suppose that this great earth were totally covered with water, and a man were to toss a yoke with a single hole there. A wind from the east would push it west, a wind from the west would push it east. A wind from the north would push it south, a wind from the south would push it north. And suppose a blind sea-turtle were there. It would come to the surface once every one hundred years. Now what do you think: would that blind sea-turtle, coming to the surface once every one hundred years, stick his neck into the yoke with a single hole?"
"It would be a sheer coincidence, Blessed One, that the blind sea-turtle, coming to the surface once every one hundred years, would stick his neck into the yoke with a single hole."
"It's likewise a sheer coincidence that one obtains the human state."
FACT.
I just had a run-in with this last weekend. Always go back for the thing.

I am a bit OCD so i always put things in the same place and that place is where that thing goes, period. What i've experienced a lot is putting something where i always put it but then when i need it again i don't find it, i go crazy because i always put it where it belongs, i scrape every inch of the place i always put it and every place close to it and nothing, after i give up i come back, the thing is in the same place it always was, as if it was there all along. Its happens every once in a while and makes me feel insane, glitch in the matrix sort of thing.

If you can't find something for a long time, and then it suddenly returns, it has been returned, so you should say "thank you" out loud so they know you appreciate them returning your stuff.

Whenever I buy new, relatively nice clothes (e.g. slacks, jeans, collared shirts), I wear them to church before wearing them anywhere else.
