BASEBALL BAT Spit on a new bat before using it for the first time to make it lucky 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. BIRTH Monday's child is fair of face; Tuesday's child is full of grace; Wednesday's child is full of woe; Thursday's child has far to go; Friday's child is loving and giving; Saturday's child works hard for a living. But the child that is born on the Sabbath day is fair and wise, good and gay. BIRTHDAY CAKE If you blow out all the candles on your birthday cake with the first puff you will get your wish. BLUE To protect yourself from witches, wear a blue bead.   Touch blue And your wish Will come true. BREAD Before slicing a new loaf of bread, make the sign of the cross on it.    A loaf of bread should never be turned upside down after a slice has been cut from it.BRIDGE If you say good-bye to a friend on a bridge, you will never see each other again. BROOM Do not lean a broom against a bed. The evil spirits in the broom will cast a spell on the bed.   If you sweep trash out the door after dark, it will bring a stranger to visit.   If someone is sweeping the floor and sweeps over your feet, you'll never get married.   Never take a broom along when you move. Throw it out and buy a new one.   To prevent an unwelcome guest from returning, sweep out the room they stayed in immediately after they leave. BUTTERFLY If the first butterfly you see in the year is white, you will have good luck all year.   Three butterflies together mean good luck. CANDLE If a candle lighted as part of a ceremony blows out, it is a sign that evil spirits are nearby. CALF If the first calf born during the winter is white, the winter will be a bad one.  CAT If a black cat walks towards you, it brings good fortune, but if it walks away, it takes the good luck with it.   Keep cats away from babies because they "suck the breath" of the child.   A cat onboard a ship is considered to bring luck. CHEEKS If your cheeks suddenly feel on fire, someone is talking about you. CHILL If you get a chill up your back or goosebumps, it means that someone is walking over your grave. CHIMNEY SWEEP It's very lucky to meet a chimney sweep by chance. Make a wish when sighting one, and the wish will come true. CIGARETTES It is bad luck to light three cigarettes with the same match. CIRCLE Evil spirits can't harm you when you stand inside a circle. CLOCK If a clock which has not been working suddenly chimes, there will be a death in the family.
