• WEDNESDAY, ward off bad luck:

go into the forest and pick or gather 13 pine needles. Back home, light a white candle and put the pine needles in your mouth, chew them for a few minutes then spit them into a glass of water and say the following words: « Banish this bad luck from my life – let this vile curse be done. Return this malignance to its dark source! May it be so! » Then snuff out the candle and throw the water down the loo.
