1. Signs of Bad or Good Luck

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   If the first person you meet on your journey in the morning happens to be a red-haired ("foxy") woman, you are not expected to have any luck that day.

   Magpies.
   Magpies are thought to bring good or bad luck according to the number of them one sees together :
   One for bad luck ; two for good luck ;
   three for a wedding and four for a wake.

   Money.
   If sparks fly out from the fire in showers money is said to be coming to the people of the house.

   Salt shaken on milk.
   People who gave milk to the poor were in the habit of shaking salt on it for luck.

   Taking "dreas" at butter-making.
   It was thought that a stranger should always take a dreas at turning the barrel containing the cream, if he happened to come on the scene while the butter was being made. To fail to do so might keep the butter from "breaking" i.e. from being made.
