Old Saying & Lore
The Irish say that to see the future, for good or bad, take a mirror outside. Let the light of the Moon fall on the surface and stare into it. Any face that appears will be connected with your future.
In some parts of Ireland, upon seeing the New Moon, people bowed or knelt, saying
O Moon, leave us as well as you found us.
Upon seeing the new moon, bow to her and turn over the silver or coins in your pocket. This will bring you luck in all your affairs.
