On May we should scatter May-flowers at the door. - Unlucky and lucky things.
It is not lucky to find money.
It is not lucky to strike a beast with a holly bush.
It is bad luck to see a pin and it's head turned towards you.
It is unlucky to meet a red haired woman when you are on a journey.
It is lucky to find a horse shoe.
It is lucky to meet a donkey. - One for sorrow.
Two for joy.
Three for a marriage.
Four for a boy.
Five for silver.
Six for gold.
Seven for a secret that hasn't been told.- Collector
