BYDŁO ••• CATTLE - "Dobre rezultaty dawały również następujące poczynania: pasterz brał do do jednej ręki wesz, a do drugiej pchłę, po czym biegł nago na granicę wsi. Jednego owada wypuszczał z jednej strony granicy, drugiego - z drugiej. Dzięki temu bydło pasło się spokojnie" - "Another good result occured this way: a shepherd took a louse into the one hand, and a flea into another. He ran naked to the end of the village, where he released instects to the two sides of the border. After that, the cattle pastured calmly." - from "Góralskie Czary. Leksykon magii Podtatrza i Beskidów Zachodnich"

Desert folk are nomadic, though during the mating and birthing season most clans come together to settle in riverside towns. These times are always full of creativity and partying, as well as a time of relaxation for most. The desert folk celebrate their collective religion, worshipping the twin suns. They share stories and writing, feast, make clothing, dance, and engage in artistic and hedonistic activities for the duration of mating season. After the season ends, most clans leave the towns to resume their livestock’s feeding rotation, but some clans stay behind in the riverside towns to tend to the buildings and grow crops in the fertile soil.

After the season, work begins once again. The desert folk travel in a rotation unique to each family clan, feeding their livestock on various desert plants. The cow-like animals produce crop milk, hair, hide, and meat. To protect their herds, mature members of a clan carry a rifle. These guns are basic and equivalent to our own blackpowder rifles of the past. They are powerful but relatively inaccurate and slow to reload, so they are used as a last resort or to scare off skittish predators.

These livestock are the most widely produced due to their hardiness and the variety of materials they produce. Both cows and bulls produce a milky substance using a digestive organ similar to that of Earth’s birds. Bulls produce less of this liquid, but it is more nutrient dense and bacteria dense to help the bull’s cows or calves gain strength or work through a sickness. Bull crop milk is known for having healing properties and the small amounts of it and importance for the herd’s health makes it expensive.

Crop milk is obtained by massaging the crop of a cow or bull until it regurgitates it. It takes practice to feel the crop and figure out if the texture is ready to be consumed. This substance is cottage cheese consistency, and is separated into the curds and liquids. Curds are used to make cheese, while the liquid is used for drinking and cooking.

These animals are protgynous hermaphrodites, meaning that the most dominant cow in the herd’s body will start changing and producing testosterone until she becomes a bull that can take over when the old bull is sick, weak, dead, or otherwise absent. Bulls will protect their cows with ferocity, and mate with each one during mating season.

When a cow gives birth, it is to 5-6 live grub-like pupae that cling to her back and consume crop milk. During this time, many larvae will die until 1-2 are left. When the grubs are ready to pupate, the mother consumes them and stores them in her crop until they are finished pupating, and during this time the cow does not eat. After the babies are finished pupating, the mother regurgitates them, and they can finish growing to their adult forms. She will continue feeding them crop milk until they can eat solid matter on their own.

"An old woman was going to wash her clothes on a Sunday morning. She placed her washing pot next to a large rock and set to work. After a while, she needed to change the water; she took the pot and poured the [still quite] hot water out on the ground [close by]. She finished her laundry and started doing [her] other chores, and she didn't notice anything. It became evening, and she went to bed and slept well all night.

But in the morning, as she was getting up, she felt a terrible pain in her face - half of her face was dark blue and covered in blisters. The old woman got very scared, because she realized that she had accidentally scalded a vätte¹ with her hot laundry water. Vättarna² are, as is [commonly] known, little earth spirits that usually appear in the shape of little toads.

They called for a wise old woman³. This woman went from house to house, begging for money - one and a half styver⁴ was called "halvannan peng⁵" - and she should get nine of those.

It wouldn't be acceptable for her to receive the money by any other means than begging. When she had collected the money, she sent the sick old woman out to acquire milk from a cow that was completely red.

Now when the milk had been collected, an offering was made to the king⁶ of vättarna. A hole was dug next to the rock where the woman had done her laundry, and the money and milk was thrown into [the hole]. Then the sick [old woman] had to remain indoors for nine days, and she wasn't allowed to show her face to anyone [that was human].

After nine days, the sick [old woman] was feeling a lot better, and after she had bought lampante olive oil for twelve shillings⁷ and used it to moisturize her face, she soon made a full recovery."

- sägen from Tving, Blekinge, as told by Ebbe Schön in Svenska sägner

¹ land wight

² land wights

³ one of the kloka; a practitioner of traditional folk medicine

⁴ a coin of low value

⁵ lit. "one and a half coin"

⁶ Ebbe Schön notes that the king might have been added to the sägen by the person recording it, but that the description of the offering is consistent with how traditional folk medicine was practiced. He writes "The curing [ritual] is, like so often within folk medicine, complicated - [because] this will make it more potent. The number nine, that is three times the magical number three, seems to be of vital importance in this ritual. "

⁷ Swedish shillings, skilling

Bonus: pictures of (some of) the traditional cow breeds that originate from Blekinge/southern Sweden:

Ringamålako (Ringamåla cow)

Granemålako (Granemåla cow)

Rödkulla (red polled cow)
