    Cutting Sticks.-
    It is unlucky to cut sticks on Sunday, and some say it was for doing so, the man was put up in the moon.
    Cutting Hair.-
    It is lucky to cut hair on Friday. Very unlucky to do so on Sunday as the devil will have you all the week. All hair cut must be gathered and put under a stone - if scattered one must come back from the next world to collect it!
    Drawing of Teeth.-
    No special days, but when the tooth is drawn it must be thrown towards your burial ground.
