Nose itching, going to hear news.
Rub it on wood and it's sure to come good.
Palm of right hand itching, you will receive money.
Left palm itching, you will pay money away.
If your knee itches, you will kneel in a strange Church.
If your foot itches, you will walk on strange ground.
Folk Lore (3)
The moon, meek guardian of the night. John Clare (unpub.)
To see the new moon for the first time through glass is unlucky especially the first one in the year.
You should always turn the money in your pockets when you see the first new moon in the year, and if one of the other sex is near an interchange of kisses increases the good luck.
