MAY Superstition: Sweeping Someone’s Feet

May Superstition: Broom sweeping feet

May Superstition: Broom sweeping feet

It was thought that a woman who couldn’t sweep a floor properly wouldn’t be a good wife and would never get married. If you swept your own feet, or someone else does it to you, it meant you were not concentrating or paying attention to what you/others are doing and are therefore not suited for marriage.
