Hair and nails should always be cut during the waning of the moon.
Whatever you think of when you see a star shooting, you are sure to have.
When you first see the new moon in the new year, take your stocking off from one foot, and run to the next style; when you get there, between the great toe and the next, you will find a hair, which will be the colour of your lover's.
When you first see the new moon after mid-summer, go to a stile, turn your back to it, and say,—
"All hail, new moon, all hail to thee!
I prithee good moon, reveal to me
This night who shall my true love be:
Who he is, and what he wears,
And what he does all months and years."
