  2. Churning

    Share Share Post
    My mother Mrs McCormack Monroe Slanemore told that that on May morning the fairies gather a little heap of sticks and put them in a gap. Who ever finds these and brings them home will have a large amount of butter at every churning for the year.
    If the fairies took the milk from your cows you should stick an iron in the fire and as fast as the iron would be reddening the fairies would come back crying with the milk.
