Birds of Prophecy

Birds of Prophecy

One for bad news,
Two for mirth.

Three is a wedding,
Four is a birth.

Five is for riches,
Six is a thief.

Seven, a journey,
Eight is for grief.

Nine is a secret,
Ten is sorrow.

Eleven is for love,
Twelve, Joy for the morrow.

This is a chant used to divine the events if the coming day based on the amount of birds in the area, depending on species these words are suspect to change.
