Saint Agnes eve and lads to see

I found this interesting pece i will quote entierly


“ ... It was required that on this day they should not eat,
it was thus known as St. Agnes's Fast,
and their future husband would appear in a dream. ”

 In Scotland, young men and women would meet together on St. Agnes's Eve at midnight,
they would go one by one, into a remote field and throw in some grain,
after which they repeated the following rhyme ...

“ Agnes sweet, and Agnes fair,
Hither, hither, now repair;
Bonny Agnes, let me see
The lad who is to marry me. ”
If they had followed the instructions correctly, then the shadow of the destined bride or bridegroom would be seen in a looking-glass later that same night.
St Agnes eve is the 21st january

Dream cheat from 1800s

As i said that i will find more dream spells i bring it to you ! Thsi is a list from 1800s telling you what to do so you would dream your destined one. I did not try this one,but who knows maybe in future . “ ... the parties inquiring must lie in a different county from that in which they commonly reside; and, on going to bed, must knit the left garter about the right-legged stocking, letting the other garter and stocking alone; and, as they rehearse the following verses, at every comma knit a knot This knot I knit, To know the thing I know not yet, That I may see The man that shall my husband be; How he goes, and what he wears, And what he does all days and years. - Accordingly, in a dream, the desired one will appear, with the insignia of his trade or profession. ”
