Satan as a Cart Wheel, Svaneholm

Värmland · Sweden · Site of legend

Three times the wheel fell from the dean's cart — so he commanded Satan to run as the wheel all the way, till fire stood about the cart.

Dean Göransson of Gillberga is said to have been called urgently to Svaneholm for a sick person. On the way, one of the cart's wheels came loose and fell off again and again. At last the dean conjured Satan to be the wheel himself instead. All the way to Svanskog the Evil One is said to have been forced to run as a wheel, and it went so fast that fire stood about the cart.
