    "When you are Killing a gose for St. Marten's night it is right to let a drop the blood in the four corners of the house.
    It is not right to put up the spinning wheel on St. Martin's night or to go near it. If you put up the spinning wheel on St Martin's night you will not be fit to put it up again on St. Martin's.
