  1. Unlucky and Lucky Days

    Share Share Post
    It is unlucky to cut your hair on a Friday or to cut your nails on Sunday. On the first of May the people go the the *City" to cure cattle. They also go to *Dromtarbh to cure blindness and lameness. If a person stole the "spancel" of a cow he would be able to steal the butter. It is lucky to set cabbage and potatoes on Good Friday. It is a sign of bad luck to get eggs in a rick of hay.
    Eggs found buried in a garden will bring sickness and death to the owner of the garden.
    *Cathair Crobh Dhearg about 8 mls south west - at the foot of the 'Two Paps'
    *6th. May is Pattern Day at Droumtariffe
