An English spell to find a husband - VALENTINE'S DAY EVE

"Church in the Cotswolds", S. Buchanan, 1993

This bit of magic comes from Derbyshire, England.

On St. Valentine's Day eve, walk in a clockwise circle around your local church, scattering a handful of hempseed behind you.  Whilst scattering, make sure you chant:

    "I sow a hempseed,
     Hempseed I sow.
     He who loves me best,
    Come after and mow."

​Run home quickly now and look over your shoulder.  If a man begins to follow the path you made ... you will be married within the year.​
