Don't be so quick to assume that this will be a silly/pointless guide.
(Nay sayers are never welcome at parties, just food for thought) Just because old wives came up with this junk doesn't mean it can be completely dismissed. In fact, it is always a little wise to have a handful of folklore in your back pocket just for the sake of conversation, let alone reaping the benefits. For example:
(Scoring based on this wonder woman's opinion. And let's face it, that's pretty much the best one there is)
Did you know when moving you should never bring your old broom with you? I think they get attached to the things they clean, not who cleans. Nothing personal, it's just the way of it. So please leave old brooms behind, and purchase new ones at your new residence.

Did you know when there is a red tint on the moon, trouble is a brewing? This is particularly true if you are a witch. Look out Glinda!

Did you know that when a black cat walks TOWARDS you it's good luck, and AWAY from it's bad luck? Guess they aren't so much unlucky as luck postman. Who knew?

Fun Conversation: 7/10 (sevens a lucky number, get it?)
Did you know that a wonder woman can tell what kind of man she is marrying on Valentine's Day? Yup, sir, she can.
She sees a sparrow? A poor man
She sees a bluebird? A happy fella
She sees a blackbird? A church going kind of guy
She sees a goldfinch? CA-CHING! Millionaire!
She sees an owl? Bummer...spinster city

Fun Conversation: 4/10 (I don't really know if this works for the lads, but it doesn't hurt to hope)
Did you know that acorns are tremendously good luck? If you wear one around your neck you're sure to do just dandy.

Finally, did you know that the color blue isn't just good for your skin tone? If you touch something blue and make a wish, it should come true! Also, if you wear a blue bead it will protect you against witches! Glinda won't be bothering this wonder woman.
