    If money falls between two persons it is a sign of luck between them
    If your glove falls and you pick it up yourself it is a disappointment
    If you went into a house where churning was going on and if you did not give it a few churns it will take the luck from the house
    It is lucky to shake holy water on your crops on Saint Johns night as it is said it will protect them.
    It is unlucky to leave the house without water at night.
    If you meet a funeral you should walk three steps after it
    It is not lucky to go into a new house without getting a Mass said in it as it brings luck on the inhabitants
