- (continued from previous page)do a bit of the churning for fear of "bringing the butter." Sometimes, people spend a long time churning without success. It is then believed that the fairies have taken the butter, and a coal is put under the churn, because it is believed that fairies do not like fire. It is believed that nothing should be given away out of the house while a churning is in progress, especially a coal. The only way to break the spell if a coal is given away is to make the person to whom it is given, put some turf on the fire, and do some of the churning.
