    Some tie a red rag on a horse bridle and on a cow's tail or a bunch of rowanberries on the cow's horn on May Day for fear they'd be overlooked.
    Some wouldn't let you bring a bottle of milk without putting salt in the neck of the bottle for fear they'd bring the butter.
    If you cut a lone-bush you'll have three and a half years bad luck.
