Dusk. Old Fox had gone to the village churchyard to leave flowers on the graves of those long forgotten. Michaelmas daisies & the last white roses. And the wraiths came to see him, in their silks & their worsted, & they talked & laughed for a long, long while in the fading light.

As well as carrying the devil’s curse on all those who eat them after on 29th September, blackberries can protect your home against vampires. If planted nearby, a vampire gets distracted by counting the berries & forgets his harmful intentions.

Michaelmas Superstition - if the breast bones of the goose are brown after roasting the following winter should be mild, but if the bones are white or have a slight blue hue the the winter will be severe.

My favorite food safety tip: Never eat blackberries after Michaelmas (September 29) because on that night the Devil urinates on them all. (When St. Michael expelled the Devil from heaven, he landed in a blackberry bush. He's carried the grudge ever since.)

Another proverb tells how the weather on Michaelmas Day would affect the spring the following year; "If it does not rain on St Michael’s and Gallus (16th October), a dry spring is indicated for the next year."

Blackberries carry the devil’s curse on those who eat them after (30 Sep in the modern calendar) but can save your home from vampires. If a bush is planted nearby a vampire gets distracted by counting the berries, & forgets his harmful intentions.

Michaelmas. Though a day for legal contracts, feasting and hiring fairs in the Thomas Hardy style, it's also a moment of titanic spiritual struggle exemplified here by William Blake
