omens

Omens are signs or signals believed to predict future events or outcomes. Throughout history and across cultures, people have looked for specific patterns, objects, or occurrences—like a falling star or a black cat crossing your path—as indications of what might happen next. While often rooted in tradition or superstition, omens serve as a way for individuals to interpret their environment and find meaning in uncertainty. They are not scientifically proven, but they reflect human tendencies to seek reassurance or guidance by noticing meaningful coincidences or symbols.
