                  @Chip-Valecek Ha-ha-ha! some of them are really funny. For me, superstition are some old rituals which true meaning we have forgotten. In a atheistic societies of nowadays that discrediting something old and praise something new, superstition it's just a sign that we are disconnected from our roots.

                  Really interesting Challenge, I'll accept it.

                    Might as well be first!

                    My take on superstition. The medal won't really give him the courage to evacuate the island in front of the invaders. But maybe if he holds it tight it will. Inspired by the Netflix movie The Guernsey Potato Peel Pie and Literary Society.

                    I reloaded this after smoothing out the color pencil in PS. It looks great in person but did not translate well in pic form.

                                I thought it would be interesting to take an old Native American superstition that we now think of as silly, and to put it into a modern context. If having your photograph taken can steal your soul, that's a terrifying concept in selfie culture.

                                        So, here is my submission for this month. This little witch is casting a spell on her cat to make her black again. Because witches are superstitious when it comes to cats; they have to be black 🙂
