Folklore [duchas:4899138]

Folklore.
On seeing the appearance of the first part of the new moon, one should always say, with a half-penny or 'threepenny-bit in your hand:-

New Moon, true moon.
Grant me my wish before your decline,
May I have plenty money of mine.

Obtained from Mrs. Horgan, 6, St. Mary's Cottages, Rockenham, Passage West.
