Touch wood.

The origin of the superstition of knocking on wood as we said before is not unique, but there are several hypotheses. In general, the widespread belief is that knocking on wood deflects bad luck.

Wood was already used by ancient civilizations as an element of nature, the Greeks thought that the god Zeus was related to oak.

Celts like many other ancient cultures were animists, they thought that common objects and elements of nature such as trees had souls. The gods represented their gods on earth. Touching wood for the Celts was a way to ward off bad luck and attract protection.
