SUPERSTITIONS IN ECUADOR

THE UMBRELLA

Open an umbrella inside the house. It was always used to protect itself from the sun and
because its shape symbolizes the solar disk, to open it in a shaded place, outside the domain of
the Sun, was considered a sacrilege.
BREAK A MIRROR

The idea is that our reflection is another version of the original, so if we cause damage in
the mirror, we will hurt ourselves.
SPILLING SALT

It is considered very bad luck if this happens to him when handling the salt shaker, unless he
rushes to take a pinch and throw it over his left shoulder.
