In Irish folk practice, whatever a person was holding when they first saw the new moon, they'd have more of by the next one. Coins in the pocket should be turned sunwise. Viewing the moon through glass was unlucky. Through the right shoulder was bad; the left shoulder was fine.
All drawn from the Dúchas Schools' Collection, folklore recorded by schoolchildren from community elders in the 1930s.

On Bealtaine eve in Ireland, primrose was scattered across doorways because fairies couldn't cross it. Butter, milk, and the household's luck were all at risk. The Good Neighbors became especially active at this time of year, and certain protections were essential.
Food and drink were left out as offerings. Doors and windowsills were lined with primrose. Cattle were watched closely.
