asked my grandma about the before my-time times
told me how my grandma was born, in the farmhouse, grandma's mother had a cow killed as grandma was born and the mother took blood and covered grandma in cowblood and brought grandma to the village shaman/witch, where the (very old) shaman/witch kept grandma for the first 3 days
grandma's mother came back 3 days later, and picked up infant-grandma, who was then perfectly clean and healthy supposedly
this happened in 1944
