- You should not wait up or look into the bucket of water, at twelve o clock Christmas Eve night.
If there are two funerals to the same cemetery, the same day. The last one in must draw the water to the other souls, until the next funeral comes. In olden times, should they be 2 funerals they used race to be first into the graveyard.
If you are coming against a funeral, you should turn and walk 3 steps with it. If you don't a near relative of yours will pass away in the near future.
There is no luck in any deal without a drink.
Egg money got from anyone is the luckiest money of all to invest.
You should always get luck money when you buy any animal.
Should a man with a squint eye look into a rail of bonhams, at the market you will not be lucky with them that day.
One magpie for bad luck, two for good luck, 3 for a wedding and four for a wake.
