“To keep the fairies away from stealing or harming children the mothers washed them in "wine" and then the good people would not come near.”
To keep the fairies away from stealing or harming children the mothers washed them in "urine" and then the good people would not come near. I heard a man telling his mother she did to himself as a child but the old lady denied it, because these old piseóga were laughed at by the younger generation. That womans great grand children live to day.
