Clover            anyone who wears a four leaf clover will be able to see
                              fairies.

    Crooked        Farmers have been known to plough crooked furrows so
                            the fairies may not aim their arrows along the ridges
                            towards their horses and oxen.

    Green            Fairies and other malicious wood spirits are said to wear
                            green, and it is suggested that anyone who dons green or
                            otherwise favors the color will come under the fairies
                            evil influence.

    Hats            A person who passes a fairy ring should reverse their hat to
                           confuse any fairies who might attempt to make them join
                           in the fairy dance.

    Sun            If a person hears the sound of the fairies laughing and talking
                         they should run nine times round such a ring, this must always
                         be in the direction that the sun takes, or the runner will fall prey
                         to the fairies power.

    Hawthorn    It is unwise to set under a hawthorn on  Halloween this risks
                           enchantment by fairies who are apparently often found in the
                            vicinity of the tree.

    Mistletoe    A little mistletoe hung over a cradle is supposed to ward off
                          fairies and to prevent the child from being replaced by a
                          changeling.

    St. Johns
        Wort            It is dangerous to step on  a St. Johns wort.  A  fairy
                            horse may rear up under the person's feet and carry
                            them off on a wild  ride that will last all night before the
                            hapless rider is unceremoniously dumped in some far off
                            spot.
