I picked this up at my son's house. It was left behind by his soon to be ex. I am not superstitious but my mother is and I once won a prize at a Tupperware party for knowing the most . This book is chock full of ones even my mother hasn't heard of yet. I would be willing to pass this on to someone who is interested.An example:
"lemon:An English superstition dating from the mid 18th century claims that the peel of a lemon can be employed to divine the outcome of a future love affair. If a woman takes the peel and keeps it in her armpit for a day,then rubs the peel on the four posts of her bed,she will be rewarded-if the affair is to be consummated-by a vision of her lover bringing her two lemons. If he does not appear ,the affair is doomed to failure."
