It is said that long ago on May-day and during the first thre days of May it was dangerous for the cattle to be out in the fields because during that time the fairies had great power.2 And it is said also that the threshold is to be swept clean and ashes sprinkled over it, and in the morning you will see foot-prints on the threshold. If the foot-prints are inward a marriage is to take place, and if outward a death will take place in the house before the year is out.- Collector
