The James T. Callow Folklore Archive

Sixty years ago in Ireland, children, at their
first glimpse of a full moon, were taught, in
order to escape bad luck or some dire calamity, to
use the following invocation:
"I see the moon, and the moon sees me.
God bless the moon, and God bless Me."

Submitter comment: My grandmother taught me this when I was little.
