    If you meet magpies on the road an old saying is One for sorrow two for joy three to marry four to die five for silver six for gold seven for a secret which shall never be told
    If a person went into a new home or shop on any day except Friday they would always have bad luck
    Shopkeepers would not give out groceries on a Monday because they say they would be giving out money for the rest of the week
    In the night time when a candle or lamp is lighting and a moth is seen flying it is the sign of death
    If a person hit an other person with an elder stick they will never grow
