   On November night food is left on the hearth for the fairies. It is customary to go into a cabbage garden on that night and to pull a head of cabbage with the eyes closed. If the stem be crooked it is believed that the one who pulled it will be married to a crooked person. The head of cabbage is placed behind the door and the first one who comes in next day is struck with it. That person is supposed to be lucky for the year.
