Is removing a Rowan considered bad luck??

[Jonny Burch]

Taken down 2 big Rowans at the start of this week. Read somewhere they are considered bad luck. Didn't think anything of it. Started the next set of jobs and nothing has gone our way. Dented the grcs and cracked the plastic on the inside, various tools gone wrong etc etc

 

Get home tonight and am typing up an invoice for a job and realised I've massively underpriced it! And I mean massively!

 

Maybe just coincidence but this week is one to forget!

 

Head up, keep going

You planted them to ward of bad luck - so cutting them down is.....................

Coincidence, superstition all a load of rubbish.

It's bad luck to be superstitious!

I heard you get a week of bad luck for each tree you cut down 😳

Rowan has something to do with witches, it's either to ward them off therefore planting them near your house or what witches wands were made off ! Can't remember ! Just cut them down and don't worry about it !!!

Cutting rowans is considered bad luck, if you believe in such things.

 

I must have cut hundreds of them!

 

I consider it worse luck if the client is complaining that I haven't done the job right having left all the rowans.

 

I've never actually noticed any correlation between cutting a rowan and an increase in breakdowns or cock-ups.

Only if you don't get paid . Holly I have heard is bad luck ....

No no no!

It's Hawthorn that's bad luck.
