In honor of this week’s “Super Moon,” here are a few Kentucky Superstitions.
- “To prevent toothache, make a wish by the full moon”
- “If you plant your seed in the full moon, you will have bad luck.”
- “Plant root vegetables in the dark of the moon, vegetables for leaves (as cabbage and lettuce) in the new moon, and vegetables for blossoms and fruit (as peas and beans) in the full moon.”
- “Some horses are moon-eyed, that is, affected by the moon. They become almost blind in the full moon.”
