A Fairy Taboo“At night, the corrigans dance, singing, “Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday;” they are forbidden from completing the enumeration of the days of the week. A corrigan having had the misfortune to permit himself to be tempted to add “Saturday,” immediately became hunchbacked. His comrades, stupefied and distressed, attempted in vain to knock in his hump with blows of their fists.”-W. Y. Evans-Wentz, The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries (1911) -- source link
