I am not superstitious, per se, however, I ***do*** believe that bad energy can come from wearing certain things (maybe that is considered superstitious...lol) For awhile some bad things would happen when I would wear certain crosses. I only wear real (10k or 14k) gold jewelry, so I would sleep and shower in my gold necklaces with cross pendants. I would lose them, the necklace would break, my energy would be drained, I had some unnatural rare things happen during college, etc... I decided to get my chain blessed by two different priests (I am not Catholic, nor did I practice any religion, per se) and also an integrated energy therapist. It sounds extreme but I swear after I did all that things started to change for the better. The necklace didn't seem to have a negative affect on my life anymore.
