“If a looking glass is broken in a house...”
If a looking glass is broken in a house it means seven years bad luck in that house.
- It is not right to cut a white thorn that stands by itself.
- If the stars are glittering at night it is the sign of frost
- When a couple is going to the church to be married an old shoe is thrown after them for good luck.
