  1. Good Luck.
    Pick up coal, and keep it.
    See a white horse + tip your heel.
    Pick up a pin.
    See a black cat.
    See a robin.
    See two magpies.
    Find a horse - shoe
    Dream about friendly dogs.
    To see the new moon outside the house.
    To meet a flock of sheep on a journey is a sure sign of good luck.
    To turn one's clothes inside out by mistake, you must never change them again, because you change your luck.
    To wear two odd stockings
    To meet three white horses together
    If you see a white stone on the road.
