Michaelmas Geese and Grain Customs Across England
Fragmentary notes discuss Michaelmas rites where a goose is sacrificed for dinner and farmers scatter grain to birds to bring luck. The piece links these customs to harvest time and recalls Queen Elizabeth and the Armada defeat, pondering whether wings and saints connect. It ends with a thought that winged things may relate to the saint and harvest.

Flowers That Bring Bad Luck in Devonshire Folklore
English Devonshire tradition links plants with misfortune. A single春 spring daffodil indoors signals death, a full bunch is required for protection, hydrangeas foretell trouble, snowdrops are unlucky, and wildflowers hinder chick hatching. Fresh grave earth in a pot guarantees a lush bloom, yellow flowers are banned in May, bergamot nearby invites illness, and helotrope in church supposedly wards off unfaithful wives.
