Phisogues

Long ago it was the custom on May Eve to bless the cattle and crops.
One should not sit on the grass or pick flowers on May Day.
Milk should not be given away on May Day without shaking salt on it.
If any one came in on May Eve and a churn was being made, he or she take a turn at it for fear they would carry the butter.
