On this spooky day, let’s dive into some salty seafarer superstitions and Frigga’s (Norse goddess of Friday) wisdom:
No whistling! Unless you’re plotting mutiny or summoning a tempest, keep those lips sealed. (If you’re the cook, it’s okay—whistling means you’re not stealing the snacks!)
Skip the scissors. Cutting your hair or nails onboard? Nope! Let them grow wild—unless you’re trimming away your fortune.
Renaming a boat? Think again. It’s not just a name change; it’s a full ritual. Forget the ceremony, and Poseidon might not pick up your calls.
Don’t mention pigs. They can’t swim, and it’s bad luck to even say the word! Call them “oinkers” or nothing at all.
Bananas are banned! Bring any onboard, and you might sink your luck—or worse, the catch. Stick to safer snacks.
Black cats = good vibes! These feline sailors are actually great omens. They predict storms, chase mice, and might even share your cabin tales.
So, this Friday the 13th, embrace the quirks of seafaring lore.
