    Nuair a bionn bean on tighe ag muchadh an teine ins an oidhche roimh dul a colaid deireann si "Mucfaidh Dia an diabhal mar a bhfuilim ag mucadh an teine anois" agus cuireann si rian na croise ar lic an tintean agus an tluth treasna air.
    Nuair a bhionn an bean ag sgubadh an t-urlar deireann si "Go nglanfhaidh Dia mo anam mar a bhfuilim ag glanadh an t-urlar anois".
    If people met a red haired woman going to the fair they would turn back as they thought they would not have any luck for the day.
    If they got a horse shoe on the road they would bring it home and nail it to the back of the door to keep out bad luck.
