Guessing for love?
In the past, fortune-telling was one of the girls’ favorite pastimes. People in all ages “want to know what will happen”: today someone starts their day by reading horoscopes, and in previous centuries young ladies were worried about what their beloved would be like and how soon he would appear in their lives. One of the most popular options for divination for a betrothed was the so-called match well. Before going to bed, the girls took four matches and put them in a well under the pillow. In order for the magic ritual to take place, it was necessary to say the cherished words three times – “My betrothed, mummers, come, water the horse!”. Only after that it was possible to plunge into the arms of Morpheus. According to popular beliefs, if a girl dreamed of a man that night, it was her future husband. And if in a dream he asked for a drink of water, then there was no doubt left – this was fate. It was necessary to carefully remember the facial features of the dreaming gentleman, it was even better if someone familiar came in a dream. Although how to look – if the girl did not like the night visitor, she felt disappointed.
