  1. The Moon
    When people see the New Moon for the first time they bless themselves and make a wish.
    It is very unlucky to see the New Moon through the window. Trouble and sickness are sure to follow. It is unlucky for anyone to tell you to look at the New Moon. The person to whom the moon is pointed out meets with a load of worries.
