black thread tied around the ankle (just curious)?
I've seen people tie a black thread around one of his ankles. according to superstition, what is supposed to do? many people who have been in fashion, but many of their beliefs. I just wanted to know what it is that belief? (Just curious)
yes many people use it now, but I'm one of them has black thread around the ankle since I was 14 years. My mother tied and amazing time I recovered from very bad, but Mommy went to heaven. Sorry ANF is the blessing to take all my bad omen in it and had to go and I keep on changing it when I'm old and ugly. but I could not think without the black wire on the ankle. that is the blessing of the mother. I think you also start shoulf kidding. is good and no harm.
