- Superstitions. 17. 11. 38.See a pin and pick it up.
Your sure that day to have good luck
See a pin and let it lie
You'll want a pin before you die
It is very unlucky to break a mirror if you break a mirror it means two years of sorrow. If sparks come out from the fire it means money for whoever they fall on. If a cock near the door it is a sign of bad luck. If he crows in the door it is a sign of good luck but if he crows out it is a sign of bad luck. It is very unlucky to go into a house with anything on your shoulder.Ann J. Winters 12 years
