When a new moon appears a girl looking at it utters the prayer Ihlas three times and then the following vow:
O new moon, old man, young soldier,
make me as tall as a fir tree,
make me as white as a pearl,
so I can be pretty and dear to all
and to my N. the most beautiful and dearest!
After that she blows in the direction of the new moon three times.
O new moon, old man, young soldier,
make me as tall as a fir tree,
make me as white as a pearl,
so I can be pretty and dear to all
and to my N. the most beautiful and dearest!
