There are very few of us who don’t abide by at least one, if not a battery, of rituals to ensure good luck or protect us from bad. We may knock on wood to prevent a jinx, toss spilled salt over our left shoulder, or fearfully avoid breaking a mirror to avert the dreaded 7 years of bad luck. But why? Find out this Friday the 13th, with filmmaker Ronni Thomas and Mitch Horowitz, author of “Occult America” as we celebrate the launch of their new web series “Origins : Superstitions”.

The series is a 13-episode exploration of our culture’s most enduring superstitions. hosted by occult historian Mitch Horowitz. All 13 2-minute episodes will screen throughout the night. There will also be a brief introduction to the series, and an in-depth look at some of history’s most trenchant superstitions. Throughout the museum, you’ll be tempted to “test”your superstitious side, with ladders, umbrellas, mirrors, and more. Complimentary “Superstitious” cocktails will be provided while supplies last!
