    Luck
    It is considered unlucky to walk under a ladder. It is considered unlucky to see one magpie and lucky if two is seen. When a cock crows at a kitchen window it is considered unlucky. When a person puts on a garment wrong side out it is thought to be lucky. It is considered unlucky to sell milk on May Day.
