    on Hallow-E'en was to get three saucers and to fill one with earth, another with water and to put a ring in the other then the person would be blindfolded and led forward and would put his hand on one of the saucers. If he put his hand on the saucer of earth he would die soon. If he put his hand on the saucer of water he would cross the sea, and if he put his hand on the ring he would get married.
