- (continued from previous page)If you got a clutch of eggs in a potato field and brought them into the house the fairies would take the potatoes.
If you had salt left out in a field you shouldn't bring it in without pepper being mixed with it.
It isn't right to leave the bonfire on St. John's Eve without bringing a coal and throwing it in a cabbage garden too make the cabbages grow.
If you took a scraw off a grave on Monday you would have bad luck.
If you threw a dead hen into a neighbours farm the disease of which your hens were dying would leave your flock and go to your neighbour's flock.If you went for a new coat on a Tuesday it wouldn't be lucky.
