If your nose itches your gonna have a fight so shake hands with whoevers about to ensure you wont fight with them, itch in right hand or left hand is either money is coming to you or money is leaving you. Don't open an umbrella inside. Don't walk under a ladder. The number 13 is unlucky. Peacocks are seen by some as bad luck. Horse shoes are good luck and people have different opinions on which way to display them. U means you are holding the pot of gold or that the devil can nest there while n drops your luck out or stops the devil from nesting. I've heard rumours of fatal tragedies following the of cutting down fairy trees or forts. Never tamper with hawthorn or bring it into your home. White and red together symbolises death. Touch wood or your head to ensure something bad wont happen, its like crossing your fingers. I am from rural ireland and most of the superstitions in the video I have heard of apart from the unbaptised child one!

Dont leave your purse empty - Always have a piece of gold or silver in and youll always be fortunate
Pick a penny up, pass it on and all day long youll have good luck!
NEVER PUT NEW SHOES ON THE TABLE!
In the theatre, or before giving any sort of performance - NEVER say good luck, its Break A Leg - then you will have a good and successful run without any problems! Know from experience!

In Wexford, if you see a crow, it cancel's the magpie! So if you see one magpie you look for a crow and see one you cancel the bad luck.
Another one is if you pick up a comb that has been found on the ground and bring it home, the Banshee will come looking for it. so NEVER pick up a comb or hair brush from the ground! be warned.

Ireland is traditionally the most repressed nation on the planet. All the insincere friendly stuff is basically deceptive and dishonest. Ireland and especially Dublin is not a nice place. It's ok like anywhere for a short break but avoid the cities again especially Dublin like the plague if you want to live there.

From Central Pennsylvania for when you drop silverware (cutlery): dropping a spoon means a woman is coming to visit, dropping a fork means a man is coming to visit and dropping a knife means that you will fight (argue) with someone. I think this is from the Pennsylvania Dutch (PA German.

The magpies rhyme:
1 for sorrow
2 for joy
3 for a girl
4 for a boy
5 for silver
6 for gold
7 for a story yet to be told
Just nod at the magpie and say good morning mister magpie to get rid of it
