- At twelve o'clock at night commence making butter in a bottle. The person who sets this charm while fasting gives piece of the butter next morning to the sick person while fasting after saying some prayers over him.It is very unlucky to pull dandelion from the roots during May. The roots of dandelion when boiled or brewed are a cure for a bad liver. Once a person wanted this cure but would not pull the dandelion because it was May. So they got the cock and put her claws around the roots and pulled it that way. That night the cock fell off his perch and was killed.
