also a hat on the bed means the passing of some one close,
sweep under the feet of an married lady means she will be getting married,
a black cat crossing your path means bad luck, BUT a black cat wandering to your door step means good luck!

speaking of superstitions, everyone knows about the wishbone and making a wish. How many grew up calling it a "pully bone"? I had a friend down south who called it that.

If you eat black eyed peas with your dinner on New Year's Eve you will have a properous new year.
If your right palm itches, money is coming
If your left palm itches, money is leaving
A cricket in your house is a sign of good luck.
If a ladybug lands on you, good luck is coming your way.
My favorite one is, what you do to your parents, your children will be ten times worse.
If your right palm itches, money is coming
If your left palm itches, money is leaving

If a ladybug lands on you, good luck is coming your way.

If your right palm itches, money is coming = right for receiving,
If your left palm itches, money is leaving= left for relieving!
