There’s a full moon tonight, and Mom shared a tradition with me that I wasn’t aware of before. Empty your purse/handbag out under the full moon and hold it up to the moon’s light and say, “Fill it up!” seven times.
If you do this, then you will receive an unexpected windfall (found penny, refund check) before the next full moon.
Did you guys know this one?
[Edited to add: oops — the full moon is on Friday. But now you know way in advance. Get your purse ready.]
What are the men suppose to do? Or is this just for us females?
My father did it too, according to the story. He received money as well.
My wife’s grandmother did the same thing. I literally watched this work for her as we were walking down the street and she found $20.
I’ve always thought this superstition came from her Italian/Greek background. Thoughts anyone?
My ritual, as given to me by my dear SIL, involved a billfold, so it is suitable for men or women.
