Superstitions  [duchas:4594624]

It is never right to meet a red haired woman the first thing in the morning. It is said she will bring bad luck to you. It is lucky to see a cat leap through an open window. If you pass a sleeping dog you will have bad luck for the day. If you stand in your bedroom door-way on Monday morning and wish, your wish will be granted if the next door you pass through is opened. It is not to right to wash on Friday if you do sombody in the family will die within a year. If you drop a knife or a glove it is a disappointment, for you. But if you pick it up it will bring you good luck. If two knifes are placed before you on the table it is a sign you will be asked to a wedding or a party. If you break a mirrow it will bring seven years bad luck and if you break a lemonade bottle

it will take all the bad luck away. It is unlucky to let a needle fall on a cement floor. It is lucky to pick up a lost safety pin on the street. They say if you meet one magpie you will have bad luck, if you meet two you will have joy, if you meet three you will have hear of a wedding, if you meet four magpies you will die, if you meet five you  will get silver, if you meet six you will get gold. It is lucky to find a small black round stone and keep it.
