    “Is is said if you were going a journey and to meet a red.”

    It is said if you were going a journey and to meet a red-haired woman you would have no luck that day.
    If you broke a lookingglass you would have no luck for seven years in that house.
    If you saw a lone magpie you would have no luck.
    You should not dig a grave on Monday.
    It is said if you opened an umbrella over you in a house you would not grow any more.
