When you carried me away

If you pick a flower on May Eve it is said that the fairies will come and take you away with them.

If you pick bluebells on May Eve you will have bad luck during May.http://irisharchaeology.ie/2015/05/lucky-and-unlucky-signs-folklore-from-

Heh, this is cool. Some of these have found their way into English folklore too, though there were many more I didn't recognize.

I looooooooooove folklore and superstition, especially when people are trying to find out where folk beliefs originated. My grandparents have a full set of the Foxfire anthologies, and all of the folklore about haints and spooks of Appalachia was absolutely delightful to me. I mean, they're ALL really cool books, but those in particular are amazing.
