Black clouds much moisture hath
~Rhyme from Devon
When a snail crossed their path, miners in Devon often avoided bad luck and stormy weather by offering the snail a tiny bite of their meal.

Queen of Fairies from A Midsummer Night's Dream (1595-1596) is a character lifted from traditional folklore. William Shakespeare borrowed the name 'Titania' from the mythological daughters of Titans in Ovid's Metamorphoses.

When a frog appears on your doorstep after a rain, it is believed to represent good luck and prosperity. Some say it is a sign of a new family member soon to arrive in your home.
