If you are comparing the sighting of a scorpion to an Omen; then you have to define the number of times you have seen it, the number of scorpions, color & size of the scorpion as well as the activity it was doing if it appeared more than once.

The widely known superstition with that is; the scorpion is a bringer of bad luck as it’s associated with the demons & djinns.

On the other hand, it was the symbol of the god Xiuhtecuhtli, the deity of the fire and the heat, because the sting of a scorpion was related to a pain followed by a sensation of heat. Which is also not good as this deity only appears as an angry goddess usually to plaque the wrong doers.



The Aztecs named Malinalxochitl as the goddess of serpents, insects, and scorpions of the desert.

For the Egyptians, Hededet was a goddess represented with a scorpion head and a woman’s body nourishing a newborn. Serket, another prominent Egyptian deity, was the goddess of fertility, medicine, and animals, as well as the healer of venomous stings of scorpions and bites of snakes.

Question 14: There is in the Old Testament you will not obey omen good or bad?

Answer 14: In the Bible it’s mentioned to not let your children through fire, practice sorcery or divinity & not to follow omens. Yes, there are certain verses that actually rejected the list of common superstitions considered as Omens whereas there are certain Omens associated with the Lord in the Bible. So according to this old testament in the bible, If the Omen is associated with the Lord then it’s good otherwise it will be seen as the sign of a sorcery or Evil.


*note: please note that we do not support any superstitions ourselves and do not suggest the readers to fall under the same. There are no such things as mentioned in the list of bad omens you find on the internet or books. It only works if you believe strongly in them. If your belief system is isolated by any negativity then you don’t have to worry about any bad luck.
