So basically i have been living under a rock never heard of this expression before, thanks again for upgrading my knowledge 🙏🙏

[@janicegonsalves8690]

One explanation states that the tradition derived from the Pagans who thought that trees were the homes of fairies, spirits, dryads and many other mystical creatures. In these instances, people might knock on or touch wood to request good luck, or to distract spirits with evil intentions.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart

[@rrajgopaul]

Thank you. I am one of those who have used the expression without knowing about its origin. I however make an exception when I use the expression. I don't look around for a piece of wood but, instead, touch my very bald head.
