A column examines common beliefs about luck and misfortune, detailing practices from spilling salt to crossing a funeral procession. It notes sympathetic causes for omens, like monks failing a barrier, and recounts regional customs such as throwing a shoe at weddings, keeping doorsteps warm, and crickets entering a home. It also recounts horse care advice and general good sense for domestic life.
