Follow these 8 good luck rituals to get your New Year off to a great start , especially if this year is one that you will be glad to see the back of.

# 1.  Give a coin

Give a coin to everyone who visits – especially on New Year’s Eve – to ensure prosperity for the upcoming year. 

According to Celts, throwing coins into water is especially lucky. 

#2. Dark Haired Man

Have a dark-haired man come in to your house last thing on New Year’s Eve to ensure luck all year round. 

Romance will blossom in the year ahead if you see a dark-haired man first thing on New Year’s Day.

#3. Change clock batteries

Change all of your clock batteries on New Year’s Eve to ensure time goes well for you.

#4. Burn Last Year’s Calendar

Safely burn last year’s calendar to cleanse the energy around you. 

#5. Throw a party

Celebrate with friends on New Year’s Eve and share food and drink – it will chase away bad luck and spread abundance around.
