I always felt it protected me for the malocchio that Boston drivers give each other when going around rotaries, double parked cars, or when trying to gain position during traffic. Of course, once I married, the wife said that it had to come down from my mirror. I was shocked; not sure how to react - I did what every other Italian man would do...I hid it in the glove compartment. Good luck continues to follow me where I drive, and most importantly, the malocchio stays awary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955569682734184307.post-14479660947913773472009-07-24T10:50:13.363-04:002009-07-24T10:50:13.363-04:00Several years ago we were given a gift of two 3 in...Several years ago we were given a gift of two 3 inch tatami sandals made out of colored straw by a Japanese friend. We were told to hang them over the front door in order to ensure "good journeys" when we left the house.<br /><br />I will admit that we are superstitious people. We believe that there are forces in the universe that we don't understand and probably never will, so it's best not to mess with them. That's why we never threw out the "black Jesus" candles that my mother would bring to our house when my then-boyfriend and I were living together. It's also why we let our mothers put palm crosses in our house even though we are no longer practicing Catholics. <br /><br />Those sandals have hung over every front door of every apartment and house we've lived in since then. And I will admit, our journeys so far have been good.N.starlunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558893672026000878noreply@blogger.com
