11/29/2007 - Who will marry first

Here is a bit of folk magick that might be fun to play with a sister or close friend

To find out which of two unmarried maidens will be the first to marry, have each take hold of the same wishbone and together break it into two pieces while saying

"Bone, I wish the future read. Who shall be the first wed?"

The girl who receives the bigger of the two peices will walk down the asile before ther other.

This old method of marrige divination is English in orgin and dates back to at least the Middle Ages. Derviving from it our popular custum of two persons making a wish while breaking the wishbone apart.
