At the last Augusts days swallows and storks fly away. Gossamer begin mopes around at the fields. This is the time, when women work very hard. Haymaking and harvest is momen and men job, but flax picking is only their work. This is the time, when everybody spins fairy tales and stories. The fire from fireplace throws flickery light at people and piece of furniture, is conducive to imagination and fantasy.

The Belief, that all ghosts come from the other world to the Earth, was important not only in stories. During this time people should remember about spinning prohibition. They were not allowed to sew, sweep or even sweep because of all souls, that were present everywhere. People couldn't pour out the water outdoor in the evening, because devious souls could be there. Dancing and singing were prohibited, in case of they might hail a devil. Kashubian believe, that a lot of damned souls could be rescued on Deceased's day. The biggest unhappiness for damned souls was the fact, that they had to walk around the God's acre and they couldn't visit their graves that day. Those souls sought the entrance to the churchyard. That was possible only between 23:00 and 24:00.

At the time of potato lifting, fires became a tradition. It was connected with variety of customs. The thing that should be done before the fire was gathering potatoes.
