"Signs, omens and superstitions" by Astra Cielo is a compendium of folklore and popular beliefs written in the early 20th century. It surveys everyday superstitions, omens, festivals, charms, and divinations across cultures, often noting their origins and the logic behind them. Organized as an accessible reference, it will appeal to readers curious about how people have tried to court luck, avert harm, and explain the inexplicable.

It then launches into a brisk catalog: wedding customs (from rice and orange blossoms to pins and shoes), rings and their powers, calendars of lucky and unlucky days with holiday lore (New Year, Easter, Hallowe’en, Christmas), and everyday luck practices (the sign of the cross, knocking on wood). Further sections outline omens and rites for christenings and children,
