Superstition #5

hairpin  Because of its association with hair, the humble hairpin is not without magical significance.  Finding a hairpin promises making a new friend; losing one is more ominous, suggesting that an enemy is close at hand.  If a hairpin works its way loose in the hair this is taken as an indication that someone has that person in their thoughts-though in Germany this may signify the end of a love affair.
