    1. Peel an apple at twelve oclock before a mirror and if you dont break the peel your future partner will appear in the mirror.
    2. Put some caulcannon in your stocking november night and the person you dream of will be your partner.
    3. Get three saucers one with water, with clay the other with a ring. You are bindfolded and if you tip the clay you will die first; the ring married first; the water and you have to sail.
