Synopsis
If a fisherman pees in the ocean, a bad storm will come. Good luck will come to your household if you own a three-coloured cat. Ancient, entertaining and sometimes-quirky folklore enrich all cultures, but many superstitions and traditions of Atlantic Canada are truly unique: - The New Year--It is good luck to eat cabbage for dinner on the first day of the New Year and babies born on January 1 will always have good luck - Dogs--When a dog buries its bone in your garden, it indicates a poor harvest that year; if a dog chases its tail, a ship will sink - Weddings--It is bad luck for a bride to bake her own wedding cake; if a bride tastes the wedding cake before it is cut, she will lose her husband's love - Babies--If a woman suffers from heartburn while she is pregnant, the baby will have a full head of hair; if you dream of death, then a baby will come into the family - The Screech-in--To become a true Newfoundlander a person must perform this ceremony in which he takes a shot of screech, makes an affirmation and kisses a cod fish - Snakes and Spiders--Finding a spider in your house in January, means an early spring; a snake in your house is bad luck - To bring good luck--Carry an acorn in your pocket, wear a sock with a hole in it, count the cars on a train - To bring bad luck--Wear odd socks, put your shirt on inside out, wear a hat at the dinner table, eat the seeds of an apple, fish on a Sunday - Cure--Tie an uncooked fish (preferably mackerel), to the bottom of both feet and cover them with a sheet; the fish will draw the fever from the body.

    The vintage classic book Silmarillion, was packaged in a bubble wrap envelope, arrived very quickly in perfect condition. The Seller described the book accurately and honestly photographed it. It was priced very reasonably making it a super value. I will definitely keep my eye on this Seller. Thanks!

    As described, and priced well. Came in a standard envelope but arrived safely. Had a bit of trouble placing the order, as I had two items, and this seller was polite, quick in replying, and easy to work with. Would buy from them again.
