Question about bringing good luck

Chris asks…

What do you do at the start of a new month to bring good luck?

Something stereotypical. I have said white rabbits as soon as I wake up on the first of every month for about 6-7 years now. What about you?
Unfortunately I don’t know the origin lol but again, it was a teacher that told me about white rabbits :-)
Lol I was thinking of an old war song that my grandparents told me about, run rabbit run rabbit run run run’ I was thinking that could have been something of the origin. lol my mother has a rabbits foot on a metal base for luck, hidden away as it is grose :-)

admin answers:

Ha! My 9th grade Latin teacher told us to jump out of bed on one foot and hop around in a circle chanting “rabbit rabbit”

I wonder the origin of the rabbit thing. Do you know?

EDIT: I looked it up. According to Wiki, the origin is as follows:

“The exact origin of the superstition is unknown, though it has appeared in print at least as early as 1954[citation needed] in Bromley, Kent, England, where it is most commonly said to have originated, though some reports place its origins even earlier, into the 1800s. Today it has spread to most of the English-speaking countries of the world, although like all folklore, determining its exact area of distribution is difficult. This superstition is related to the broader belief in the rabbit or hare being a “lucky” animal, as exhibited in the practice of carrying a rabbit’s foot for luck. Some have also believed it is representing a jumping into the future and moving ahead with life and happiness.”
