    It is unlucky to turn back when going a journey.
    It you break a mirror it is seven years back luck.
    It is unlucky to be first to go to the or have the smoke up or have the door opened first on a may morning.
    It is not right to look in a mirror after sunset you might not see your face atall it might be the devil face you would see.
    It is unlucky to put out your ashes on a May morning. If you knit or sew on a Sunday you will have to take them out on I with your nose on the last days
