CURIOUS IRISH SUPERSTITIONS ABOUT FOXES!

This once-in-a-lifetime encounter was captured in the Mourne Mountains, County Down. Click on pic to see at its best. 🥰

Our Irish ancestors believed that foxes were the dogs of Norsemen who'd brought them to the island, and many superstitions were associated with them. The Celtic druids believed foxes could foresee events, including the weather; the sound of a fox barking, for example, was said to be a sure sign of rain. It was considered bad luck to meet a fox when setting out in the morning, especially if you were a fisherman. An Irish cure for gallstones and kidney stones was to rub the affected area with the blood of a fox and, as a cure for infertility, a woman should sprinkle sugar on the testicles of a fox and roast them in an oven, then eat them before her main meal for three days in succession. 😬
