An ounce of Yarrow sewed up in flannel and placed under the pillow before going to bed, having repeated the following words, brought a vision of the future husband or wife:
'Thou pretty herb of Venus' tree,
Thy true name it is Yarrow;
Now who my bosom friend must be,
Pray tell thou me to-morrow.'
(Halliwell's Popular Rhymes, etc.)
Quoted from: Botanical.com - A modern herbal
Here's the wild yarrow I was talking about in the previous posting.
