Superstitions!- Be Wary of What You Carry

Many omens predicting future events for a home or its occupants involved people coming into the house, and this could be influenced by what they had with them. For example:

• Walking into a house with the left foot first is thought to bring evil on the occupants, although if you spot the error, you can undo it by walking out again and entering with the right foot. 
• Carrying a hoe into a house is bad luck; if you do, walking out backward with it averts the bad luck. 
• Never take eggs into a house after sunset or they will not hatch, and they could bring misfortune to the owners of the house. 
• Bringing an axe into a house foretells death and, unfortunately, there does not seem to be an antidote to most superstitions involving dying.
