If you sneeze on a Monday, you sneeze for danger; Sneeze on a Tuesday, kiss a stranger; Sneeze on a Wednesday, sneeze for a letter; Sneeze on a Thursday, something better; Sneeze on a Friday, sneeze for sorrow; Sneeze on a Saturday, see your sweetheart tomorrow. Sneeze on a Sunday, and the devil will have domination over you all week.
Europeans believe that Feb. 14th is the day when birds begin to choose their mates. It is believed that a young girl will be able to tell what type of man she will marry based upon the first bird that she sees on Valentine's Day. The bird associations, include:
Blackbird = clergyman or priest
Robin Redbreast = sailor or nautical man
Goldfinch (or any yellow bird) = rich man
Sparrow = farmer or country gentleman
Bluebird = happy man
Crossbill = argumentative man
Dove = good man
Woodpecker = no husband
Haven't heard that for donkey's year's, used to be a bit superstitious about it too. Being a bit longer in the tooth now i realise what a complete load of tosh it is, specially as i never got to kiss any strangers. ha ha
