The pouring of milk into cup marks seems to have been quite a widespread practise. Have heard of reasons ranging from appeasment of local spirits/fairies to worship of the goddess Bridget.... all seem very much connected to the continuation of fertility rites... maybe not the original purpose, but memories of such uses would have remained strong in local folklore for many years.

Wanking priests??!! That the last time I go rock licking on Ilkley Moor.... plah!
