The origin of knocking on or touching wood for luck or to bring luck appears to date back to times long before Christianity when people worshipped trees and believed that each tree contained a spirit or guardian. Knocking on or touching a tree (or wood from a tree) would, it was believed, call upon that spirit for protection and help in our endeavours. Many superstitions involving touching something are very persistent and people clearly think that power flows merely by making contact with something. This is even mentioned in the Gospel story of someone touching the hem of Jesus' garment and being healed.

Guys...well, when we say guys here in our country it means "general" man,women,old,young,kids, young at heart, old by looks, etc etc.

It is either the one who knocks of the one being knock- whatever, all I want to know is what happens next?

To all those who still believe in superstition, please wake up and get out of that backward mentality, they are all just products of ignorant old society. It will not do you any good. No amount of knocking can turn a person into a frog only a tadpole turns into a frog in due time (not by knocking three times.) hehehehe

Well it's nice to know you are not one of those believers of superstition. Indeed man still believe in superstition and rituals and many non-sense beliefs that deprive them the liberty that they should rather enjoy. Sadly they are constrained by wrong beliefs all because they don't get the right teachings.

Jai sis, so far i haven't this type of superstition yet. Sounds very interesting and seems dangerous as well. Have you tried knocking on the wood for 4 times and see the result? Hopefully, not someone turning into a frog. Or else it would makes us feel sad lol... By the way, how to communicate with a frog?? Have a nice day...

Hi jaiho: I must admit that I am not very superstitious so nothing won't happen. I just want to mention that in my country we knock on wood after we mention a misfortune and tradition says that's the way we protect ourselves from these misfortune happen. But I have never heard that it must be just 3 times. It's curious and funny

I've seen some people doing it too. At first I thought it's just a habit, later on did I found out that it's some kind of a wish. Yes, a common belief passed to us by our predecessors, our ancestors which I guess is still much practiced today.The common number is 3x but I guess there's nothing wrong if it's done more, maybe it could be more favorable.
