I'm trying to do some research on the topic of meteors in different cultures. Is there any way you can provide some source for the myths and beliefs that you discuss. Real steven kimbrough on February 12, 2020:īelieve me or not I was walking home at 11:30 at night I asked God to show me that he is real a shooting star pass over my head that night and I have seen a caveman or a Bigfoot in Wichita falls Texas right in the park of Lucy Park we seen it and he turned at us in the car and stared for 3 seconds we had a German shepherd with us and she was barking at it that's how I knew it was real I also have dreams of me flying and they say it's because I'm trying to escape from the evil on this world and also whenever we was young we would stay outside all night jumping on the trampoline and there was this yellow garage and all of suddenly the yellow garage blew up in flames we went to go tell our parents in came back out it was just a regular yellow garage again but there was about 10 of us out there that night so I believe there is good in the world and that there is bad in the world so what route would you go!! I like how different cultural about shooting stars were told & described! When the Ensisheim meteorite fell in Alsace (now France) in 1492, the holy Roman emperor Maximillian assembled a council which decided that the event was a good omen for the wars with France and the Turks.This is why it was common practice to say something like "rest in peace" or "go with God" if you saw a meteor. In some Baltic countries and central Europe, people thought that each person had their own personal star which, when they died, died with them and fell from the sky.In Switzerland, a meteor was considered to possess the power of God.In the Philippines, if you see a shooting star, for good luck you must tie a knot in a handkerchief before the meteor stops falling.In Chile, if you see a meteor you're supposed to immediately pick up a stone for luck.Thus, when you saw one, you knew that the gods were looking down at that very moment and so it was an excellent time to have your wishes heard by the gods. After Greek astronomer Ptolemy's time (AD 127-151), there was a widely accepted and poetic explanation that when curious gods would peek down at earth, a star or two would slip down and become a shooting star.On the other hand, if a Swabian saw three in one night, that meant he was doomed to die. Swabians (who lived in southwest Germany) believed that seeing a shooting star predicted one year of good luck.Here are some interesting facts about people throughout history who believed in luck from shooting stars.
