“On May eve night long ago witches would come and change the cream into froth so that no butter could be made out of it.”
On May eve night long ago witches would come and change the cream into froth so that no butter could be made out of it. Also on May eve they would come and milk the cows so that the cows would have no milk for the rest of the year after them.These people would be looking for a grain of salt and they would make pishogues out of it. They would also come for a seed of fire and they would work pishogues on the person from whom they would take the fire.Elizabeth McCarthy
