Moon folklore

A 19th century English tradition held that it was disrespectful to point at the moon. To do so would bring evil upon the person doing it.

​A new moon seen over the right shoulder is said to be lucky. The new moon seen over your left shoulder is unlucky.

To see a new moon through glass is said to be unlucky.

Turning over coins in your pocket brings good luck if done at the first new moon of a New Year. You must also bow to the moon three times. This will ensure that you will have money throughout the year.
