    It is supposed to be unlucky to throw out ashes on a Monday morning. If anyone does that, he will have bad luck for the rest of the week.
    The custom of the morning on the first of May is to put May bushes in front of the door. Some time during that day, put a branch of the rowan tree around the churn, and also over the byre door. It is supposed to supposed to keep witches from taking the butter.
