But the interpretation of omens really depends on the country and culture. What’s considered an ominous sign in one place might mean a lifetime of good luck somewhere else. Oscar Wilde once wrote that,

When human beings keep God’s commandments written in the Torah, the act of carrying out or doing what is written down in God’s Torah, that moral human act is known a mitzvah in Hebrew.

Doing a mitzvah transforms one’s negative omen, into a positive prophetic prediction which activates God’s blessing upon one’s life.
so to say; negative omens are transformed into positive one via the moral act of keeping God’s commandments.
 An omen of bad luck plays out its self as events of opposition, which opposes, hinders or frustrates one’s plans.
For example: a person may get an idea to start a new business, but through the process of trying to achieve the goals of getting his business moving, he or she begins to face all different kinds of opposition or hindrances, that are trying to stop this person from achieving his goals.
In ancient times when people confronted bad omens or curses, they always ran to the diviners, witches sorcerors, palm readers, mediums, tarot etc, who spoke on behalf of their pagan gods.
Each culture had it’s own pagan gods or deities that governed the omens of those that belonged to that specific culture.
The only culture that was not subject or controlled by the omens (bad fortune) which come from the other cultures, was the culture of the Hebrew people who were governed by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

An omen (also called portent or presage) is a phenomenon that is believed to foretell the future, often signifying the advent of change. People in the ancient times believed that omens lie with a divine message from their gods.

These omens include natural phenomena, for example, an eclipse, abnormal births of animals and humans and behavior of the sacrificial lamb on its way to the slaughter. They had specialists, the diviners, to interpret these omens. They would also use an artificial method, for example, a clay model of a sheep liver, to communicate with their gods in times of crisis. They would

In the field of astrology, solar and lunar eclipses (along with the appearance of comets and to some extent the full moon) have often been considered omens of notable births, deaths, or other significant events throughout history in many societies. One biblical example is the Magi in the Gospel of Matthew who predicted the birth of Jesus after seeing the Star of Bethlehem.

Good or bad[edit]

Omens may be considered either good or bad depending on their interpretation. The same sign may be interpreted differently by different people or different cultures.

For example, a superstition in the United States and other countries across Europe indicates that a black cat is an omen of bad luck.[6]
