old wives tales

Anna March 17, 2016 No comments
AMBULANCE
 Seeing an ambulance is very unlucky unless you pinch your nose or hold your breath until you see a black or a brown dog.
  Touch your toes
Touch your nose
Never go in one of those
Until you see a dog.   ..
APPLE
 Think of five or six names of boys or girls you might marry, As you twist the stem of an apple, recite the names until the stem comes off. You will marry the person whose name you were saying when the stem fell off.

An apple a day
Keeps the doctor away.
  If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will also know how many children you will have.
BED
 It's bad luck to put a hat on a bed.
  If you make a bedspread, or a quilt, be sure to finish it or marriage will never come to you
  Placing a bed facing north and south brings misfortune.
  You must get out of bed on the same side that you get in or you will have bad luck.
  When making the bed, don't interrupt your work, or you will spend a restless night in it.
BEE
 If a bee enters your home, it's a sign that you will soon have a visitor. If you kill the bee, you will have bad luck, or the visitor will be unpleasant.
  A swarm of bees settling on a roof is an omen that the house will burn down.
BELL
 The sound of bells drives away demons because they're afraid of the loud noise.
  When a bell rings, a new angel has received his wings.
BIRD
 A bird in the house is a sign of a death.
  If a robin flies into a room through a window, death will shortly follow.
FROG
 A frog brings good luck to the house it enters.
  The dried body of a frog worn in a silk bag around the neck averts epilepsy and other fits.
GOOD FRIDAY
(The Friday before Easter)
 A child born on Good Friday and baptized on Easter Sunday has a gift of healing. If a boy, he should go into the ministry.
  Cut your hair on Good Friday to prevent headaches in the year to come
  A person who dies on Good Friday will go right to heaven.
  Shed no blood on Good Friday, work no wood, hammer no nail.
