At the witching hour on Halloween, go alone into a garden & without uttering a single word, pick 12 sage leaves—one at each stroke of the clock.
As you pick the 12th leaf at the 12th stroke, the face of your future husband will materialize before you.If a man’s face does not appear to you, this indicates that you will not marry within the next 12 months. Do not repeat this divination until the following Halloween, otherwise you will invite bad luck!
If a vision of a coffin should appear to you while you are performing this divination, this is said to be an omen of an early death.
