31st October- beware, the scariest night of the year. It is believed that between the hours of dusk until midnight on the eve of October 31st, witches, warlocks and evil spirits are able to roam the streets and cause havoc.
But wait don’t worry, it’s not all bad, it is also believed that good spirits are able to communicate with the living at this time as well. According to ancient folklore and legend, it’s possible to cast love spells on Halloween. Here are a few great examples:

What’s your new partner really like?
If you have recently found a new love and want to find out what he is really like use this spell. On Halloween take a letter from your partner which has a particularly strong statement of love in it. Fold the letter nine times, pin it together, and put it under your pillow. The dreams which you have will tell you the truth about your partner. If you dream of silver, gems, glass, castles or clear water, then your lover is true and genuine. However, if you dream of linen, flowers, wood or uniforms it unfortunately means that your chosen man is false and deceitful.

Catch a glimpse of your future husband
There is an old superstition that on Halloween, a single lady should eat a salty sardine before bedtime. In theory, the future husband should appear in the dream, with a glass of water to quench her thirst. This sounds simple enough, although it’s not to be recommended if you’re not a seafood fan!

If you are not a seafood fan, find a room in your house which you are comfortable in; wait until darkness has fallen and sit in the room with only a candle to light your surroundings. Position the candle in front of a mirror and then either eat an apple or comb your hair. If you concentrate on your reflection it is said that the image of your future husband will appear in the glass, standing behind you. In the excitement of seeing your future spouse do not turn around to see him in the flesh. Otherwise, he will disappear along with your chance to marry him!

Who will be the first to marry?
This is a fun spell to try when you are with your friends. Take four cups, and put them on a circular table. Place a ring in one cup, a coin in another, orange blossom in the third, and leave the forth empty. Everyone who wishes to be involved should be blindfolded. Then slowly, walk three times around the table. At the end of the third rotation, the participant must reach down and touch one cup. The first person to touch the cup with orange blossom will be the first to wed. The person who touches the cup with the coin will never know what they want. The cup with the ring represents a lifetime of devoted love, whilst the empty cup means that you are set for a single life.

Is your relationship doomed?
This is a spell you can cast with your lover to find how strong your love is. Wait until dusk on Halloween night and sit before an open fire with your lover. You are both to place a nut in front of the fire. If the nuts both glow and smolder it means that you are greatly suited to each other and your love will grow. However, if either or worse yet, both of the nuts burst or crackle it means that there will be excessive arguments and a lack of sympathy in your relationship.

Happy Halloween!
