More little bits of superstitions and rituals I came across when researching my book Aromatherapy & Herbalism-the complete home users guide.

* if you sneeze when you are talking you are telling a lie
* When you sneeze you are at risk of the devil taking your soul – hence “bless you”
* The first sneeze of a baby should be blessed as it means that the child is mentally balanced
* A fool can not sneeze
* If you feel like sneezing and cant it means that someone close by is in love with you
* If you sneeze while at a meal this means you are going to meet a new friend
