If you are an unmarried girl, DO THIS at dawn on St. George's Day! A real MIRACLE awaits you by the end of the year
St. George's Day, one of the biggest spring holidays, is not just a red-letter day in our tradition, but a day when, according to old beliefs, the sky meets the earth, and fate can be 'read' in a flower, water, or cloud. Here's what unmarried girls should do at dawn according to the same beliefs, so that they can meet their soulmate by the end of the year.
TL;DR
- Unmarried girls can weave flower wreaths and look through them at a desired young man to "capture" his heart.
- A wreath floated on water predicts marriage within the year; one that sinks suggests a longer wait.
- Washing the face with water infused with herbs like cornel and hedge-nettle at dawn is believed to bring irresistible charm.
- Sunny weather on St. George's Day signifies fertility and abundance, while rain heralds a dry year.
- Thunder on this day is considered a bad omen, foretelling crop damage and a difficult year.
- Large bonfires were traditionally lit to drive away witches and evil forces, and vigilance over crops like wheat and rye was practiced to prevent magical "harvesting" by evildoers.
