Why Do We Knock on Wood? (A Dash Of Info)
“Knock on wood — we all say it, but have you ever wondered why?”
It’s one of those small, everyday rituals we do without thinking. You say something good — “I haven’t gotten sick all year!” — and instinctively tap the nearest wooden surface to keep your luck intact. But why wood? And where did this superstition even begin?
In this episode of Info On The Go, we trace the origins of “knocking on wood” from ancient pagan rituals and sacred trees to early Christian beliefs and modern superstition. Along the way, we’ll explore Celtic mythology, tree spirits, and how this simple gesture became a universal symbol of protection.
From psychology to pop culture, discover how a tradition thousands of years old still taps into our deepest human need — to feel a little safer, a little luckier, and a little more connected to something beyond ourselves.
