The etymology of "secret" words, of popular acceptance, of dates

Many people are not without superstitions and prejudices. They believe in "happy" and "unhappy" numbers, are afraid of black cats, beware of sprinkling salt, come to despair of a broken mirror, seeing in it an omen of trouble or misfortune. Many believe in the prediction of fate through the horoscope, in dreams, etc. Omens and superstitions are constantly changing, changing, there are new ones depending on some or other changes in the human environment. Man is characteristic of linking happy and unhappy events with any amulet, amulet, talisman, the actions of supernatural forces. Once, for the first time, this action "gave" a good result, and if it is repeated - it becomes an example and its absence psychologically knocks the man out of the rut. This "connection" is fixed at the level of neural connections in the brain and the person unconsciously seeks support in this example. There are three main stages of forming folk traditions and cultural heritage of peoples: the 1st stage: vital necessity; the 2nd stage: deification, officialization; the 3rd stage: tradition, culture, moral and ethical attitudes.
