    Creideann na daoine gur choir do gach duine crann caorthann a chuir 'na sheasamh suas san charn-aoiligh ( Crann Bealtaine mar deir siad ) agus siol astrach a cheanghail thart air ar Oidhche Bhealtaine agus creideann siad muna ndeanfar seo go meathann ma ba san bhainne. Creideann siad fosta gur choir an teinidh a fhagailt gan coigilt an oidhche sin.
    Na girrseachaí óga ata ag brath posadh, gheibheann siad seilide an oidhche sin agus cuireann siad faoi bheal pota é agus ar maidin nuair a thógfhadh siad an potá bheadh ainm an fhir a bhí le faghail acu sgriobhta ar an talamh ag an seilide. An oidhche seo fosta ba ghnathach le girrseach óg a ghabail amach na sgioból agus coinneal feaga a tabhairt leithe agus súiste agus toiseadh ag bualadh arbhair ag d'réir mar buailfeadh sí na pionamneacha caitheadh sí ar chúl an dorais iad agus cibé fear a bhí le faghail aici thiocfadh sé agus sgiobfadh sé leis an phionainn.
    Bá ghnathach leobhta fosta ceartlín, cháil a chrochadh ós cionn an dorais agus an chead fear singilte a buailfheadh a cheann ar an cheartlín ba hé sin an fear a geobhadh sí.
