According to folklore, there is magic in the leaves that fall from trees BUT only if it is caught by human hands before landing. If the leaf touches the ground, its magic is said to be lost forever.
The Halloween (Samhain) tradition of catching a falling leaf began long ago in England where it was believed to bring continued happiness for the next 12 months.
It is important, however, to never bring dead leaves into your house because they will render you and your family susceptible to bad luck. In contrast, dead leaves that blow into your house on their own accord are said to bring good luck.
