- (continued from previous page)Friday nights dream
Saturday told
is sure to come true
be it ever so old.To hear a dead bell or a "glaob cluaise" is a sign of a death.
If you break a mirror you are said to have seven years of bad luck.
If a coal falls on the hearthstone it is the sign of a visitor.
If sparks jump at you out of the fire you are supposed to get money.
If you strike a person with a rush, that person will not grow anymore.
Whatever day "la na leanbh" falls on is the "odd day" for the following year and no new work is begun on that day.- Collector
