Description
The Cuckoo is a bastard, his offspring will also be bastards and should he very early in the spring sing on a naked branch, plenty off bastards will be born and the harvest will be bad when the summer comes to an end.
Men who raise children who aren´t really their own or those with unusually high sexual energy are said to be in the cuckoo´s power.
After Midsummer he is transformed into a hawk and stays this way all winter. His ungrateful nature is now revealed, since when he turns into a hawk he will eat the little bird who is his servant and companion.
his song is beautiful and also magic. one should never mimic him, or he will start puking blood.
Should you hear his song before you ate or drank in the morning you will be dead before the year has come to an end. Should an unmarried young woman hear him before breakfast she would become a mother against her will.
He will offer wisdom to those who are not yet married, Should they grab the trunk of the tree he is sitting in and ask for how many days they will live, or for how long they will go unmaried.
Should he sing in the north it meant sorrow and misfortune to come, should he sing in the west means fortune and happiness ect.
Those who attempt to kill him will gain misfortune.
