- (continued from previous page)When some people cut their hair they eat salt so that the fairies would have no power over them. The old people say, that unless you eat salt after cutting your hair the fairies would have part of your strength.
Long ago people put coals under the churn for fear the fairies would steal the butter.
If you hear a hen crowing it is the sign of an accident.
