Superstitious rituals and omens definitely blur into the general area of magical thinking and sympathetic magick (flashing back now to my old paperback of the Golden Bough) Just as there are lucky charms and protective rituals in superstition, so there are talismans and spells and hexes in the realm of magick and paganism. It is the same basic assumption of everything being at root a metaphor or symbolic connection to some possibility of physical happening..of manipulating the semiotic energies underlying reality towards one's expressed intention.
Casting a spell might be fun (especially if it worked), but I'd be too worried that there'd be Divine consequences. lol I'll stay safely on the RHP.

First drive-thru was out of what I wanted, second didn't have some condiment or something I wanted, and the third messed up my order. At that point, I accepted the order and went home. I realized that the only commonality between all those was me, and whatever mental baggage I might have been carrying around.
Have you experienced/noticed a steady flow of these types of occurrences? I tend to think of coincidences as being one-time events, but if they start happening often, there may be a hidden meaning there.
