Salt over the LEFT shoulder, to be specific.

However, I've never understood how finding money could be a bad thing. If I see coinage on the ground, as long as it's not in the middle of a pile of vomit or something equally disgusting, you bet your bippy I'm picking that sucker up! As I do, I say in my head, "See a penny, pick it up, and all day long have good luck!" (as you mentioned). I actually think the tails up ones are luckier for me than the heads up ones.

If your nose itches your going to kiss a fool.

When I was a kid very time my nose itched I would kiss my sister and she would tell on me.

regarding ladybugs

You are not to kill them and they are considered good luck because they are named after Mother Mary.

It is good to meet a white lamb in the early morning with the sunlight on its face.

The luckiest seat is the one which faces the door; the most unlucky is that which has its back to the fire-place.

It is good luck to blow through the cards when they are being shuffled.

When changing seats at the table you should always move in a clockwise direction; that is, from right to left.

It is very unlucky to sit cross-legged when playing cards.

It is unlucky to pass anyone on the stairs (cross your fingers if you do)

Stairways symbolized the means of ascending to the above abode of the gods and it was dangerous to tresspass.

makes me think of old large homes, stairways were narrow, and the higher you went, the more narrow they became.
