Vision to the Future Husband or Wife ??

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.
