Ive been looking into Irish Superstition as my great great grandma said not to let the moon shine on your face when asleep, as it will give you bad dreams.

She was from Waterford. Had anyone heard of this one?

They were always very strange down Waterford way .... Throwing a loaf of bread at the front door New Year's eve to beat hunger out for the year... Father would always do it.. Until they put in a door with a glass panel.. Then my mother bate my father out the front door..

Clearly the writing was superstitious if Stevie Wonder was able to read it.

I have heard that a lot and it's why they won't remove the faery rings in fields or the faery bushes it is meant to being bad luck if you disturb them.

Towels were put out on the night of 31st Jan to be blessed by Bríd and used for bleeding or childbirth

May wreath hung of the doors to bring good luck for the summer ahead

Sligo

May day was a clay holiday in the west. Farmers never did any thing in the fields that day and also house holds were late lighting the fire may day morning.
