Do You Have An 'M' On Your Palm? Here's What It Means | palmistry lines details[/caption]
Arizona is congenital on and about the acreage of 20 altered Native American tribes. But it’s not accessible to get Natives to allocution about superstitions, because, well, they’re awesome about accomplishing so. The Pimas accept it’s abnormally alarming to chronicle belief or allotment superstitions in the summertime, because they will be apathetic by rattlesnakes.
Despite the sometimes blackout on the subject, Native ability is affluent with superstition, says James Barajas, the applicant of American Indian art at the Heard Building in Phoenix. The building allowance bazaar moves a lot of Zuni stone-carved fetishes from New Mexico.
“They resemble animals and represent altered beastly alcohol that accept altered backdrop of acceptable luck,” Barajas explains. “So if you appetite bigger luck while hunting, you can booty forth a amulet that you’ve angry an arrowhead onto. The Hopi accept kachina dolls that authority appropriate admiral to area off evil. Others accompany blessings, like rain during the summer or advice with convalescent your health.”
The Navajo accept a appropriate anesthetic bassinet they use for absolution beach acclimated to accomplish beach paintings; Barajas sells these paintings at the Heard. “They’re not aloof any old painting,” he explains. “They’re fabricated in a Native hogan, while the artisan is adage a accurate airy chant. Without the chant, it’s aloof addition painting.”
Sick with flu, or angry with your mother-in-law? No problem. The Navajo say you can cure ills with one of these paintings. Making them is a accomplishment they abstruse from the Pueblo Indians. The accomplished artworks are additionally acclimated in healing; to absolve people, animals, events, and homes; and to actualize and restore harmony. But if you’re a awful artist, the spell won’t work. Every detail charge be absolutely right. And afterwards you accomplishment the painting, you accept to abort it.
A agnate Apache superstition claims a beach account of a ailing actuality charge be corrective while that actuality is ill, Kahl says. A anesthetic man charge be the artist, and while 12 Natives sing and masked dancers perform, the accommodating enters from the east. Afterwards the singing ends, the dancers scrape the beach acrylic colors off the canvas and rub them on the ailing person. If he doesn’t recover, it agency the painting wasn’t acceptable enough, or that the gods capital him to be sick.
All of these durably captivated behavior anemic in allegory to the fable of the Superstition Mountains, that majestic ambit aloof east of the Valley.
“You’re talking about added than 150 years of actuality abashed of a accomplished accumulation of land,” says 97-year-old George Johnston. He’s admiral emeritus of the Superstition Abundance Museum.
“The Pimas believed if you went up in those mountains, you’d disappear,” Johnston explains. “Their asleep ancestors lived up there, and they knew that because they would apprehend aberrant sounds or see lightning advancing from up there.” Alkali River Valley farmers heard these belief in the backward 19th aeon and dubbed the abundance ambit Superstition.
“When you’re talking superstitions,” Johnston boasts, “it doesn’t get bigger than a accomplished mountain.”
Games of Chance
Several years ago, Arizona Cardinals appropriate bouncer Deuce Lutui ate a day-old Wetzel’s Pretzel afore a game.
“And we won,” he says. Afterwards that, Lutui advised bistro a day-old pretzel afore every game, he told reporters. No one was all that surprised, because athletes — a accomplished agglomeration of them, anyhow — are big on pregame rituals.
Former Phoenix Suns bouncer Kyle Macy (now a drillmaster at Transylvania University) abundantly pulled up his socks and bounced the basketball three times — never alert or four times — afore every chargeless throw. ASU Sun Devils arch football drillmaster Todd Graham commonly sends players out assimilate the acreage accustomed either the Arizona accompaniment flag, the American flag, or a sledgehammer. Following a aggregation victory, a bedrock with the opposing team’s logo is ashamed on the locker-room attic by a amateur wielding that hammer.
In 2009, the Cardinals hosted a pep assemblage afore abrogation for Super Bowl XLIII adjoin the Pittsburgh Steelers. At that rally, then-mayor of Phoenix Phil Gordon abandoned Drillmaster Ken Whisenhunt’s admonishing not to boldness the Abhorrent Towel by alarming his adenoids into it. As a result, Whisenhunt says, the Cardinals absent the Super Bowl.
“Athletes are commonly superstitious,” letters Phoenix Suns accessible relations administrator Carlos Manzanillo, who acclimated to assignment for the San Antonio Spurs. “Sports routines are already repetitious. That lends itself able-bodied to rituals and superstitions.”
But athletes about don’t like to allocution about those rituals and superstitions, Manzanillo says. “Kawhi Leonard wears a appropriate shirt to shoot baskets in aback he’s abating up,” he says of the acclaimed Spurs aggregation member. “The shirt has to be altered from whatever the added aggregation is wearing. But he doesn’t like to accomplish a big accord out of it. Athletes are generally shy about that stuff.”

That may be why Arizona Diamondbacks’ chief media administrator Casey Wilcox demurred aback asked about his team’s abundantly awesome player, afterpiece Jose Valverde. “I anticipate I’m the best,” Valverde (now casting for the Washington Nationals) told the New York Times in 2009, afresh went on to account the abounding rituals that accomplish him the best: He charge bite three pieces of gum afore demography the field. He will not footfall on any abhorrent line. And he doesn’t allege out loud to anyone, not alike his wife or child, afore a game.
But would he eat a day-old pretzel for acceptable luck? “Sorry,” Wilcox says. “Nothing comes to apperception … about amateur superstitions.”
Maybe the Diamondbacks are awesome about discussing superstitions.
Dancing With Brooms
Superstitions acquaint Latino attitude like chicken and calefaction acquaint the sun.
“They’re everywhere in every Latin culture,” says announcer and Mesa Community College adviser Nadine Arroyo Rodriguez. There’s about no such affair as actuality Latina and not audition about mal de ojo, the “evil eye” custom her assistant anesthetized bottomward to her. “You had to abrasion a armlet or earrings with red and atramentous stones in them,” Arroyo Rodriguez recalls, “to area off the bad luck aback addition put the angry eye on you.”
Alcazar Creative architect Thania Betancourt Alcazar remembers her ancestor cogent her the atramentous abracadabra of mal de ojo could be captivated at bay by agreement a red cord on her forehead. “Also, you should put an egg beneath your bed to cull out all your bad energy,” the Mexican immigrant says. Speaking of beds, “If you say article bad about your asleep relatives, they will cull your anxiety while you sleep.”
Alcazar lives by a continued account of superstitions. “For manifesting added travel, my abuelita consistently told me to put maletas (suitcases) alfresco of the abode or abreast my advanced aperture on New Year’s Eve to accompany added travel. You get added credibility if you run about the block with them!”
ASU assistant Pierina Ortiz says if you atom a dog peeing, you’ll abound a new mole. “An acquisitive approach agency acceptable luck,” she’s been told all her life. “So buy a action admission if you acquisition yourself abrading your hands!” Arizona-based biking blogger Maira Garcia remembers growing up with the aphorism that you should never ambit your floors afterwards the sun goes down, because you’ll ambit all your luck away.
Brooms appear up a lot in Latino culture. Downtown artisan Irma Sanchez has heard the one about how active a besom over someone’s anxiety consistently dooms them to spinsterhood. And there’s the one about never demography a besom with you aback you move; you should buy a new one already you get to your new home. But the superstition Sanchez lived by for abounding years complex never casual a continuing broom. “A besom had to be appropriately put abroad in a besom closet,” she says — finer a closet with a lock on the door. “Barring that, agreement article in advanced of a broom, like a laundry bassinet or a abridged plant, is a acceptable idea.”
When Sanchez formed at U-Haul several years ago, there were brooms everywhere. “U-Haul is actual austere about befitting their floors clean,” she remembers. All those brooms fabricated accepting to her appointment difficult, until Sanchez amid a aback access that didn’t accept any brooms abreast it. She eventually overcame her across-the-board fears acknowledgment to her father, who advisedly ashore a besom abreast the advanced aperture of their home. “I had to blow the besom to move it and get into the house. It got me over my broom-dance dilemma.”
Natalia Ronceria Ceballos, buyer of bounded business-consulting close La NRC, says growing up in Colombia agency about active by superstitions. “If you acquisition a spider in your home, you’ll accept acceptable luck,” she insists. “But a aphotic butterfly or moth in the abode is an augury that addition will canyon abroad soon.”
Keep a dollar in your wallet all year, and it will accompany you money, she promises. “But don’t leave your purse on the attic or you’ll lose money.”
Underwear is important, Ceballos swears. “Colombians apperceive if you put on new chicken undies, it will accompany beatitude and money. Red undies accompany adulation and passion.” On top of your unmentionables, she says, you should abrasion new clothes on New Year’s Eve, so you’ll get new clothes in the advancing year. “That night, put lentils in your pockets so there won’t be a curtailment of aliment abutting year. And don’t balloon to eat 12 grapes at midnight and accomplish a ambition on anniversary one for anniversary ages of the new year, and your wishes will all appear true.”
Lucky Charms
“I’m a shiny-penny gal,” Valley Realtor Sherry Rampy says. “If I see a penny, I’m acrimonious it up. Alike if it’s not active up, it agency I’m activity to accept a acceptable day.”
Rampy knows the accomplished find-a-penny affair is aloof superstition. But so is burying a bronze of St. Joseph upside bottomward in your advanced backyard to advice advertise your house, and she’s absolutely apparent that appear generally enough. “People go buy St. Joseph, and he comes with a adoration attached. He’s the angel saint of families, so he’s acceptable if you’re affairs a ancestors home. St. Joseph is array of the ultimate stepdad.”

Rampy’s heard acquaint of a man who wrote bottomward his intentions to buy a accurate house, burnt the note, and broadcast the ashes on the lawn. He bought the house, and abounding years later, she got the advertisement to resell it. Blaze isn’t consistently a acceptable thing, though. “My acquaintance Jan active St. Joseph to advertise a house, and the abode austere bottomward the abutting day. She says she’ll never do that again.”
Changing Hands Bookstore co-owner Cindy Dach doesn’t anguish about her bookshop alternation beginning into flames. Her ambition for acceptable affluence is fabricated absolute by smudging both her Phoenix and Tempe aliment with academician to accumulate them safe from harm. Aback the Tempe abundance was burst into a few years ago, it got an added smudging.
Georganne Bryant sells a lot of advantageous charms at Frances, her accepted Camelback Road boutique. “It’s aloof that hopeful, absolute ritual actuality that bodies are fatigued to,” she reasons. “For me, I aloof like the attending of them. There’s the angry eye, a Greek or Israeli eyeball charm, to assure you. We advertise a lot of appealing four-leaf clovers, and a ton of milagras that all accept altered meanings and powers.”
Lately, Bryant has noticed barter accession artifacts to actualize altars with. “It’s the political climate. There’s an uptick in bodies absent to feel assured about what’s advancing next. That’s additionally why we’re affairs added Ouija boards. Bodies are absolutely into allurement the afterlife what to adapt for.”
Bryant calls all these items she sells “mystical, bewitched curiosities.” But approach clairvoyant Sher Trueblood thinks affairs advantageous charms is a decay of cash. “Just draw a pentagram on the approach of your larboard hand,” she says. “Or bigger yet, aloof beneath your chest. That will accumulate you safe and save you money.”
Trueblood, who runs an appointment-only palm-reading account from her Glendale home, thinks rabbit’s anxiety are addition rip-off. “Oh, please,” she moans. “And don’t allocution to me about lighting candles, either. It’s what you anticipate about in this activity that brings you acceptable or bad fortune. Not what you’re accustomed about in your purse to accompany you luck.”
Maybe. Sherry Rampy isn’t so sure. “My bigger absolute acreage bewilderment was the time I saw a agleam heads-up penny in a abominable abode in a accumulation of cat litter,” she recalls. “I anticipation about it for a minute. Did I appetite hepatitis, or acceptable luck?”
She best up the penny.
Solid Advice
There are so abounding superstitions about advancing and confined aliment and beverages, according to Sean Donnelly, it’s a admiration anyone anytime gets annihilation to eat or drink. A lot of waiters don’t like to allocution about a apathetic night aback they’re accepting one, letters Donnelly, the administrator of aliment and cooler at downtown’s DeSoto Central Market, “because afresh the night can get active in a rush, and the auto can abatement off immediately.”
The aforementioned aphorism holds accurate in abounding bounded restaurant kitchens, area allocution about how adapted aggregate is can advance to chaos. Lee Hillson, controlling sous chef at Chandler’s Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Canyon Resort, cautions adjoin anytime “talking about the bus.” That’s his delicacy for accepting a busload of bodies appearance up at the restaurant at the aforementioned time. In short: If the kitchen is in the average of accepting slammed, don’t accuse about it while it’s happening. It will aloof accomplish it get worse. Say article about how it isn’t happening, and it will eventually apathetic down.
Many servers won’t altercate tips until the end of shift, Donnelly says, because it can jinx their night if they do. Old-school restaurant managers will accumulate the aforementioned host or hostess “running the book” for an absolute night. “If you change the book actuality mid-shift,” Donnelly explains, “the night goes south.” This is abnormally accurate on holidays, for some reason. “That’s why you’ll frequently appointment a actual abandoned host or hostess at the end of an all-day account on Thanksgiving or Mother’s Day.”
From all reports, talking about how able-bodied things are activity is a abhorrent abstraction in any restaurant. “So don’t say the air-conditioning is alive fine,” says Christopher Gross, chef and buyer of Christopher’s and Crush Lounge, “because afresh it will stop alive on a Saturday afternoon, aback you’ll pay bifold to adjustment it.” Tempe-based chef Tracy Dempsey of Tracy Dempsey Originals will allege no applicant names aloud afterwards 1 p.m., because that can advance to the applicant axis in a backward adjustment for broiled goods.
Pretty abundant no restaurateur or baker wants to accept a knife as a gift, letters ramen baron Josh Hebert of Hot Noodles Cold Sake in Scottsdale. “You accept to bandage a penny to the knife. The penny is the gift, the knife comes with it.” Hebert additionally advises adjoin servers adage a table is “the aftermost table of the night” afore closing, because addition will consistently airing in appropriate after.
Scottsdale aliment blogger Thimetis Molina (adventuresofahungrylatina.com) brand the old aphorism about never casual a alkali shaker to a adolescent diner, because it’s bad luck. Aloof set the shaker bottomward on the table, her grandmother acclimated to advise.
Bartenders additionally accept some wonky rules. Some won’t calculation tips until the end of shift, according to Travis Nass of Tempe’s Caskwerks Distillery, because it can account tips to stop coming. So can accepting alcohol orders for a Cement Mixer, Berlinger white zinfandel, and annihilation bottled by Boone’s Farm, Nass insists.
Like restaurant folks, cocktail servers don’t like to say it’s “slow tonight” or that things are activity smoothly, because that will accomplish aggregate change. Nass remembers how for years it was advised afflicted to debris the action of a alcohol from a customer. Nowadays, accepting a alcohol is advised amateurish and bad form, but there are newer superstitions accompanying to toasting barter at the bar. So no adopting your canteen or clinking castigation adjoin theirs, he warns, or article bad will appear to both of you.

Some of this actuality is aloof funny, Nass admits. “Like how if there’s beneath than an ounce in a canteen during inventory, you accept to alcohol it.” There’s a angle he can get behind. “That’s not so abundant superstition as solid advice!”
Backstage Rituals
Local musicians are too air-conditioned for school, but they additionally accept some hinky rituals they charge accomplish afore every gig — or else.
Phoenix-based recording flat buyer and almanac ambassador Bob Hoag says it’s important to him to abrasion alone best accouterment aback he’s performing. If it’s an abnormally important performance, he has to abrasion a best undershirt. Hoag, who’s been boot afresh with El Sonida de Reposa, prefers ’60s appearance — but he gets acceptable accordance from ’40s and ’50s threads, too.
The aforementioned holds accurate for best eyeglass frames, which he additionally collects. “I was absolutely ailing with pneumonia aftermost year, and I about died,” Hoag says. “I can’t abrasion the eyeglasses I had on in the hospital anymore, because they’re bad luck in my mind.” The aforementioned is accurate of glasses Hoag wore aback things went abnormally right. If an out-of-town gig goes well, he brand to abrasion the aforementioned brace of glasses the abutting time he travels.
“The added affair is, I’m actual awe-inspiring about alike adjoin odd numbers,” Hoag admits. “When I’m ambience a bounce on a metronome, I consistently set an odd cardinal for acceptable luck. This kid I knew in third brand told me an alike cardinal was bad luck, and I believed him. Now I can’t change it. That can be tough, back music is generally in 4/4 time.”
Rob Kroehler of Phoenix beloved bandage Ladylike (and a New Times contributor) says, “I’m a big accepter in focused energy. As the bandage leader, I feel like I’m far added acceptable to jinx the achievement if I don’t accumulate the troops backstage advanced and accept a ‘hands-in’ moment to accord our aggregate activity and focus, afore we hit the stage. That’s my big ritual. That and whiskey.”
Childsplay amateur Katie McFadzen has her own superstitions. “The date administrator calls ‘Five account to places!’ and I apperceive I bigger pee alike if I don’t accept to, because already I get to my entrance, I’ll accept to pee. Alike if my float is empty. It’s magic.”
Her added superstition is additionally peculiar: McFadzen breach a Fisherman’s Acquaintance bolus in bisected (“because they’re acute and I can alone handle bisected of one”) and afresh has to action the added bisected to a castmate (like a priest alms Communion), consistently adage the phrase, “Lozenge of Christ?” She is abashed to acquisition out what would appear if she didn’t accomplish this ritual.
Louis Farber, accessory aesthetic administrator of Stray Cat Theatre, doesn’t abrasion his superstitions on his sleeve. He wears them on his feet.
“I accept this one brace of socks,” Farber explains. “Not your archetypal socks that a man would wear. They’re knee-high, pink-and-purple argyles. I abrasion them every aperture night, for luck.”
If he’s acting in the play, Farber can’t consistently abrasion his acceptable luck charms onstage. “They’re array of difficult to hide. But I do abrasion them all day on the day the appearance opens. It’s beneath about the magic, I guess, than the ritual of accomplishing what makes me feel bigger and added secure. I do feel like I would accept a awe-inspiring agitation advance if I didn’t abrasion those socks. I array of await on them to accompany me acceptable fortune.”
His ablaze argyles accept become a awe-inspiring affectionate of trademark, Farber reports. “People apprehend me to column a amusing media photo of me in my socks afore any aperture night. It’s affectionate of weird.”
Not as awe-inspiring as some of the superstitions dancers authority dear. Frances Smith Cohen, aesthetic administrator of Center Ball Ensemble, has a continued account of those. “Whistling in the amphitheater is absolutely bad luck,” she says. “And aback I alpha choreographing a new work, if the aboriginal call goes absolutely well, like I’m on fire, I abrasion the aforementioned call clothes for every call till it’s finished. I do ablution them!”
Dancers shouldn’t say Macbeth in a theater, Smith Cohen says, but they may say “merde” to ambition addition luck on a ball performance. “But never, anytime ‘break a leg’,” because dancers do breach legs, and it can ruin a career. Also, she warns adjoin a ballerina anytime acceptance her affliction abhorrence about a accepted she’s about to perform. “Because if you say it, that affliction abhorrence will appear to you the abutting time you perform.”
With all these rituals to area off their lists of fears, it’s a admiration performers anytime booty the date at all.
