Irish Superstitions to Adopt in Central Minnesota
In our neck of the woods, we are heavily influenced by Norweigian heritage, but I think it s high time we adopt some Irish heritage as well. I was told as a child that I am roughly 1/18th Irish, I was never given the lineage behind that but I m going to take my grandmother s word for it. So for St. Patrick s Day this year I looked into some Irish superstitions that could easily be applied in Central Minnesota.
Never Give a Friend Something Sharp
This superstition states that if you give someone a knife or scissors, it will sever the relationship you have with that person. But if you accept a coin in exchange for the sharp item, the relationship will be fine. That way the sharp item is seen as purchased and not given. This superstition is Irish, but other cultures around the word recognize it as well.
