- (continued from previous page)That if you hear the Cuckoo and you looking in any direction you will be there the next year.
That if you are at the table taking your tea and you see two knives crossed it is a sign of a wedding.
That if you spend money on new year's day you will be spending money the whole year round.
That if a man met a red haired woman on his way to fish he will have very bad luck.
If you cry on New Year's day you will cry for forty days after it.
If a person is sick and a robin to come in the person will get better.
If you see the new moon through glass you are going to have bad luck.
