Sleep with a mirror under your pillow for 3 nights, the 3rd a Friday, and you will dream of your true love on the 3rd night.  (Oly’s note: course, if you break the mirror, 7 years of bad luck?)

Another headache cure - rub cow dung and molasses on your temples.

And yet another headache remedy - Soak your feet in hot water to draw blood from your head.

Sinus trouble?  Chew on a honeycomb to clear sinus passages.  (Oly's note: NEVER give honey of any kind or in a product to a child under 18 months as it can be deadly.)

Proverbs contradict each other.  That is the wisdom of mankind.

The Moon:  Police crime records are said to be more numerous during the days of the full or new moon.  Hospital records of patients bleeding are likewise said to increase during these days. Also it is believed there are more births recorded at new Moon.  Also many don't visit their dentist or have operations during a new or full Moon time fearing increased bleeding.

When the Sun, Moon and Earth are in a straight line (such as at full or new) their combined gravitational pull will produce a spring, or big, tide.  At the time of the quarters, the Sun and Moon are 90 degrees apart, and we experience a neap or small, tide.

If a woman sees a dove and glimpses the new Moon at the same time, repeat the  following, "Bright Moon, clear Moon, Bright and fair, Lift up your right foot, There'll be hair."  Remove your shoe and hair found will be the color of your future husband's.

Full Moon is an ideal time to accept a proposal of marriage.

A halo predicts wet or stormy weather.  Count the number of stars visible within the halo to know the number of days before rain.  Stars can also signify the number of days of rain.

Moon and Witch  -  To become a witch fire a silver bullet at the Moon while spouting  obscenities. Or, fire 7 bullets at the Moon and recite the Lord's Prayer backwards. (Oly's note - must have missed this initiation.)

Monday is the Moon's day.  Monday's are auspicious for peace and happiness, raising spirits of the dead, water activities and travel, home and family, dreams,meditation, cooking (but watch the salads), love spells, and reconciliation, learning the truth, clairvoyance, and becoming invisible.

Doomsday -  "Who cannot see that the world is already in its decline and no longer has the strength and vigor of the former times?" - Cyprian of Carthage, 250AD

NOW, that you have read through these,  let me reveal to you the source from which these ditties come.  You won't find them all in one witchy book, nor in a trendy New Age over-priced calendar, or buried deep within a ceremonial magick text that reeks of pungent incense smoke...
