SUPERSTITIONS!
Superstition is a credulous belief or notion, not based on reason or knowledge. The word is often used pejoratively to refer to folk beliefs deemed irrational. This leads to some superstitions being called "old wives' tales". It is also commonly applied to beliefs and practices surrounding luck, prophecy and spiritual beings, particularly the irrational belief that future events can be foretold by specific unrelated prior events. (via Wikipedia)
I love superstitions. You might even say I am superstitious. And this month brings to mind lucky four leaf clovers to me (which I find, ALL THE TIME!), I decided the theme for this month should be connected to the little charm. So, be it black cats in your path, broken mirrors, stepping on cracks.....or something more obscure like a cow lifting its tail meaning rain is coming (I wouldn't call what they are about to do rain tho....), create some emotes either brandishing themselves with good luck charms or running into bad luck because they weren't up to date on what you should avoid! Bring on the old wives tales!
