When your ears are singing/tingling with one single tone, remember: the right side is bad (people are gossipping about you), the left side is good (people are telling good things about you).

To cross two forks accidentally is a sign that slander will be spread about you. To drop a fork foretells the visit of a woman friend. To stir anything with a fork is to stir up misfortune

Always pick up a pin when you see one lying on the floor, for See a pin and pick it up All the day you'll have good luck; See a pin and let it lie Luck will surely pass you by. To upset a box of pins foretells a surprise, so long as some of them are left in the box; but if none remains, a disappointment will come your way.

It is unlucky to put on the left shoe before the right, and it is worse still to put the right shoe on the left foot, or vice versa. This belief dates from classical days, and it is related that the emperor Augustus nearly lost his life at the hands of assassins after putting his sandals on the wrong feet. New shoes should never be left on a table, or ill luck will descend upon the house. If you do not present a new pair of shoes to a poor person at least once during your life, you will go barefoot in the next world

When you are talking to someone, and if you should both happen to say the same word or sentence at the same time, you must each clasp the other's little finger and wish. Then, if you do not disclose your wish, it will be fulfilled.

If you give anyone an empty purse he will never be blessed with riches. Place a coin inside it for luck

If, before you retire to bed, you chant Matthew, Mark, Luke and John Bless the bed that I lie on, it will keep away evil spirits and ensure your good health. There is an old custom which decrees that if someone is lying dangerously ill, a lighted candle should be placed in a shoe and all other lights in the room turned out. Then the name of the complaint from which the person is suffering must be written on a piece of paper and burned in the candle flame, and at the same time the following rhyme should be said three times: Go away death! Go away death! Life from the flame Give new breath I The candle must then be snuffed with the fingers

And there's more lol
If the head of a bed is placed towards the north it foretells a short life, towards the south a long life, the east riches, the west travel.
