Real Witches Don’t Wear Hats
FUN
Some believe that by lighting a red candle and chanting a few choice words on the night of Samhainn (November 1), one might find their true soul mate.
This practice is believed to mimic the four kisses, disguised as birds, who flew around Aengus Og’s head. These avians were said to be able to infect others with deeply amorous feelings. Always, helpful in wooing a sweetheart.
