Well
Come To Susies Place
Greek Surperstitions
Legends & Traditions
Greek Traditions
Village Superstitions
Welcome to the
newest addition.
Many of our guests have asked
questions concerning our Culture, Customs and odd peculiarities
in Greek Living that they witnessed while on Holiday. It would
seem that some of our traditions tend to baffle the visitors to
Greece and I must admit that even I find them to be a bit
strange at times.
Perhaps you’ve seen a Groom
trying to step on his Brides foot…..or maybe you’ve noticed a
well-dressed Greek man spiting on himself for no apparent
reason. Believe it or not, every curious gesture in these Greek
customs has its explanation.
Many of these Tales and
Superstitions are guarded secrets in the minds of the old
village women that still believe in the ‘Old Ways’. I’ll be
compiling them here to share with you so that they don’t get
lost with time. These beliefs and stories of Greek Folklore are
just too interesting, if not amusing to be forgotten by the
newer generations. Enjoy!
