- It is said to be very unlucky to throw out water on Hallow Eve because you throw your luck away.
It is also unlucky to give money away on the first Monday in January, as it is said you will have very little for the rest of the year, and if you get money on that day you will have plenty for the rest of the year.
There is a Proverb concerning people getting married.
Monday is a lucky day for to get married. Thursday you will have wealth, Wednesday is the the luckiest day of all. Thursday the married couple have losses, and Friday they have great misfortune. Saturday is no day at all to get married.
Monday for (losses) health,
Tuesday for wealth
Wednesday the best day of All,
Thursday for losses,
Friday for crosses,
And Saturday no day at all.
