The Irish are reaaally superstitious, but so are a lot of cultures. Every culture has different customs that seem weird to outsiders. But some specifically Irish are:

  • Carrying a rabbit's foot for good luck because rabbits are supposed to be lucky
  • Lucky pennies are supposed to determine the status of a man, so giving a lucky penny at livestock fairs is especially common
  • Avoiding cats, especially black cats because they are bad luck. Specifically, if a cat has just wiped its pace with its paws then you make eye contact with the cat, you will be the first in your family to die.
  • Saying "God between us and all harm" whenever a rooster is heard crowing.
