TCNW 666: Six, six, six, and seven eights

I’ve known this episode number was coming for a while and wondered how I would handle this particular number. I finally was given a great suggestion by Cort Howell to call it “Six, six, six, and seven eights” and, like Henry “the jinx” Bennett who drew out the hat size, to focus on superstitions. I’ve done episodes on superstitions before but this is a different look at them.

Superstitions – Where Did They Come From? Even if you think of yourself as a die-hard skeptic, you’ve probably heard of one or two superstitions in your time — and perhaps even indulged in an occasional good luck ritual of your own. Maybe it was a crazy owl flying around or it was wearing your “lucky socks” to help win a ballgame.

Let’s take a look and see where these superstitions started.

This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring “Lurene Tuttle” part 1.

I enjoyed the first episode we did on Mountain Omens & Superstitions and it certainly seems that many of you did as well because I got a lot of feedback related to that episode.  That made me think it would be good to do another episode with additional mountain wisdom from the Darling family and their kin.

I hope you enjoy the Omens & Superstitions and will stick around for the feedback we got from some of your fellow Two Chairs listeners.

Over the years, the Darling family have come to town sharing their omens, signs, and superstitions with the people of Mayberry.  Barney even added a few of his own from his grandmother’s book Signs, Omens, Portents and Charms to Ward Off Bad Luck.

I felt that it was high time I shared some of this mountain wisdom with you to help you stay healthy, lucky and loved as well as to protect you from evil spirits & the weather.

Some of these you’ll want to write down so you don’t forget them just in case you run into some bad luck and need to ward it off.   You call it superstition….I call it caution.
