ive been brought up with my mum telling me that you have to say white rabbit on the first of that month, three times before noon only with the letter R in the month ie- white rabbit x3 in jan,feb,mar,apr,sept,oct,nov,dec and if you say it afer 12 then you get bad luck? im that bad at it that ive got my fella into saying it and his familiy too.
i never walk under ladders,
i try not to cross a black cats path,
i do not walk on nicks in the pavement and
i never walk over a single grate cover only a double one which is supposed to be good luck.
if i see a lonely magpie i will search for the other and sing the rhyme and salute them.
i never open a bag of crisps upside down,
i have never yet smashed a mirror!
im a lot worse but id be here all day is it me or are there others like me too and believe in all this nonsense?

you Walk under a ladder

you hear An owl hooting 3 times


you see 3 butterflies together


you Look at the new moon over your left shoulder


you find A 5-leaf clover


you Break a glass while proposing a toast


Putting a shirt on inside out

Red and white flowers together

on Hearing a rooster crow at night


you Cut your nails on a Friday


Putting a hat on a bed


Getting out of bed left foot first


Violets blooming out of season


A picture falling


Breaking a mirror


Singing before breakfast


Opening an umbrella indoors


Giving away a wedding present


Stepping on cracks in the sidewalk


An itch inside your nose


Crossed knives


seeing an owl during daylight



looks like were all doomed!
Bad Luck: A bat flying into the house

It's not bad luck putting the shirt on inside out.
But it is bad luck to take the shirt off and put it the right way round.

I remember at School doing "a pinch and a punch for the first of the month", I had never heard of it till I went to Rhyddings, maybe an Ossy thing?

[grego]

I've heard of pinch and punch, thought it was just an excuse to give a dead arm (haven't had one of them for years), I dont think I'm that superstitious but always say hello to Mr Magpie!

Is your house full of dropped knives or do you curse someone else by getting them to do the dangerous deed of picking them up for you?

[WillowTheWhisp]

I never remember the white rabbits until the day's half over! My Mum always used to say it was bad luck if you didn't say it three times before saying anything els eon the first of the month.
