    Share Share Post
    Everybody draws blood for St. Martins Night in honour of the Great St. You can kill it from November night untill St Martins day but not after. When the blood is drawn if you put a drop of bbood in each corner of the four corners of the house and St Martins blessing in the house for the year.
    It is not right to spin on St Martins night. You shouldent touch the spinning wheel at all on St Martins night.
