Brooms

Superstitions — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:50:19 +0000

Do not lean a broom against a bed. The evil spirits in the broom will cast a spell on the bed.

If you sweep trash out the door after dark, it will bring a stranger to visit.

If someone is sweeping the floor and sweeps over your feet, you’ll never get married.

Never take a broom along when you move. Throw it out and buy a new one.

To prevent an unwelcome guest from returning, sweep out the room they stayed in immediately after they leave.

If the broom touched your feet you were required to spit on it for fear of having someone in your family sent to jail.

Do not shake hands or kiss over the threshold of a door. It forms a bridge that allows the devil or evil spirits from the outside to enter the house this way.

Woodpecker

Expect a visitor if you hear a woodpecker picking on a tree in your neighborhood.

Bee

Superstitions — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:26:18 +0000

If a bee enters your home, it’s a sign that you will soon have a visitor. If you kill the bee, you will have bad luck, or the visitor will be unpleasant.
A swarm of bees settling on a roof is an omen that the house will burn down.
