    seven years bad luck
    To break ware brings bad luck on the house
    It is not right to hatch thirteen eggs
    It is not right to be out after ten o'clock on May Eve
    If a knife falls a visitor is expected
    If the kitchen is not brushed at night the fairies will take the person who neglects to do so
    It is not right to leave dirty water in the kitchen at night
    If an ass brays a tinker is dead
    If a cock crows at night it foretells danger
    It is not right to get a new cradle for the first child born in a house
    A bucket of water should be left in every house at night for the fairies
