Dream Magic Shoes

To dream of your future lover, put a pair of your shoes inside your bedroom door with the toes of your shoes pointing in towards your room. This action will provide you with a dream showing you the next lover that will walk into your life.

Another popular bit of dream magic involving shoes requires you to place your shoes in the form of a T on your windowsill. Say:

“Hoping this night my true love to see, I’ve placed my shoes in the form of a T.”

Stockings

Before going to bed on a Friday night, put your left stocking into your right stocking, and say:

“This is the blessed Friday night I put my left stocking into my right; To dream of the living and not the dead, To dream of the man that I am to wed.”

Place the stockings under your pillow when you are


finished saying the rhyme.

Ga rters

Using garters in dream divinations was once popular throughout Europe and the United States. There are numerous variations of this spell but nearly all require the girl to knot her garter nine times before going to sleep.

For this first divination, the girl must knit her left garter around her right stocking nine times. She begins by saying the rhyme below and makes a knot at each comma:

“This knot I knit, To know the thing, I know not yet, That I may see, The man that shall my husband be, How he goes, And what he wears, And what he does, All days, And years.”

Another dream divination involving garters requires the girl to tie her garters around the bedposts nine times while saying:


“This knot I knit, this knot I tie, To see my lover as he goes by, In his apparel and array, As he walks about in every day.”

The following dream divination does not require the girl to knit her garters. Instead, she is to pin her garters to the wall:

“I pin my garters to the wall, And put my shoes in the shape of a T, In hopes my true love for to see, Not in his apparel nor in his array, But in the clothes he wears every day. If I am his bride to be, If I am his clothes to wear, If I am his children to bear, I hope he’ll turn his face to me; But if I am not his bride to be, If I am not his clothes to wear, If I am not his children to bear, I hope he’ll turn his back to me.”

After performing any of the above garter dream divinations, the girl is to immediately get into the bed and not speak another word until waking in the morning.


Pe nnies

To dream the face of your true love, gather five pennies. Place one penny under each corner of your mattress and one under the center of your mattress before going to bed.

Dream Lover

A wise woman recently confided in me that she had a dream lover that visited her nearly every night. When I asked her how she managed to conjure up a dream lover she said that she covered the top of her boxspring with a mixture of dried mugwort and dried red rose petals. After putting the mattress back upon the boxspring, she tied four gold strings, one on each leg of the bed. She replaces the dried herbs monthly and on nights when she doesn’t want any visitations she unties the gold strings.

Dove Feather

Whether you are infatuated with a movie star or a character in a book, you can create a dream image of the person or character for dreamtime romances. All you need is a dove’s feather (the bird of Venus and of lovers’ souls), a bottle of ink, a slip of white paper, and three dimes. Snip off the end point of the dove feather and use it as a quill to write the


person or character’s name on the paper. When dry, put the paper inside your pillowcase and place the three dimes on your windowsill. Happy dreaming!

Onion

To sleep with an onion under your pillow will enable you to dream of your future lover. The onion also drives away negative energy and will absorb recurring nightmares.

A pp le s

To discover whether or not you will marry the man you love, push a pin into a juicy red apple. Put the middle finger of your left hand on the head of the pin and say the man’s name. Place the apple under your pillow. When you have gotten into bed to go to sleep, clap your hands together one time and say:

“If you be he that must have me To be your wedded bride, Make no delay, Come right away, This night to my bedside.”

Another dream divination requires that you be given an apple on Halloween. Place the apple under your pillow and you


will dream of your future husband or wife.

Salted Egg

For those who like salty foods, one way to dream of a future lover is to remove the yolk from a hard boiled egg and put salt in its place. Eat this just before going to bed.

A similar dream divination states that you should eat the yolk, salt the white, and put the salted eggwhite under your pillow.

Bay Leaves

Gather five bay leaves on the night of a full moon. Pin a bay leaf to each of the four corners of your pillow and one bay leaf to the center of your pillow. Say:

“I now lay down to go to sleep, My dreams will show me if I keep My sweetheart, and if married we, Before the year is out, shall be.”

Rosemary Sprig

On the night before Halloween, put a sprig of rosemary and a silver coin under your pillow to dream of your future husband


or wife.

St. John’s Wort

On the night before Midsummer Day, gather nine yellow St. John’s Wort flowers and place them under your pillow. You will dream of the person you will marry.

Dandelion Dream Root

To dream the face of your next lover, dig up and dry a dandelion root. When completely dried, tie a red thread around the root. Keep this root in a pouch of its own and whenever you desire to see who your next lover will be, place the root under your pillow before going to sleep.

Pink Yarrow

To dream of the man you will marry, gather pink yarrow, and say:

“Yarrow, pink yarrow, the first that I have found, In the name of Love, I have plucked you from the ground. Always when I hold you, all is well and dear, And in my dreams tonight, my true love shall appear.”

Place the yarrow beneath your pillow before going to


sleep.

Honeysuckle Wreath

To dream of your future husband, make a wreath out of honeysuckle vine and hang it above your bed.

Ivy Leaves

Should a man desire to know who his wife will be, he must pick ten ivy leaves while he is outside, preferably at midnight on a full moon, and bring them to his home. When he reaches his front door, he must toss one ivy leaf to the ground and put the rest under his pillow. This will cause him to dream of his wife-to-be.

Even Ash Leaf

To see your future husband in a dream, pluck an even ash leaf, and say:

“Even ash, even ash, I pluck thee, This night my own true love to see, Not in his rick nor in his rare, But in the clothes he does everyday wear.” Sleep with the even ash leaf beneath your pillow.


Sprig of Yew

To dream of your future husband or wife, cut a small sprig from a yew tree that is found growing in a graveyard and place it under your pillow before going to sleep at night.

Dream Haunting

To haunt the dreams of a former lover so that he will return to you, you will need to gather three red roses on Midsummer Eve. Then on Midsummer morning you must bury one rose under a yew tree and one rose at a cemetery. The third rose needs to be placed under your pillow. Sleep with the rose under your pillow for three nights and, afterwards, burn the rose.

Images of you will then begin to haunt the dreams of your former lover until he returns to you.

Dream Mirrors

If you desire to sleep with a mirror under your pillow will provide you with a dream of your future lover. Some say that you need to first purify the mirror by washing it in salt water and then take it to your bed without it reflecting anyone’s image. One lady told me that the mirror should first catch sight of a red apple before being used.
