New Moon and Superstitions
Being
without money when seeing a new moon is thought to be unlucky but if a
person has some coins and turns them over without taking them out of
their pocket, they will have plenty money over the month ahead and the
wish that's made while turning the coins will be fulfilled.
New
projects should be started at the time of the new moon while
country-dwellers have long held the opinion that the time of the new
moon is the time to plant crops.
In
America, the new moon was used by lovers, who would glance over their
right shoulders, take three steps backward and then say the following
verse:
"New moon, new moon, true and bright,
If I have a lover let me dream of him tonight.
If I am to marry far, let me hear a bird cry;
If I am to marry near, let me hear a cow low;
If I am to marry never ,let me hear a hammer knock."
