Folklore: Devining Love At Halloween

The tradition of devining the future and finding out about your love life at Halloween started a long while ago in Ireland, where the mysterious Druids created sacred bonfires on the tops of hills and carried out ancient rites at midnight on the 31st October.

The divinations and folk lore connected with Halloween spread over from Ireland to Britain, and eventually made their way through Europe and immigrants brought them across the ocean to the new shores of North America where the new world promised them freedom and a better way of life.

In the United States and especially in some parts of New England, many young and unmarried girls still observe these two Halloween love traditions. The first tradition means that they carry a candlelit lantern to a spring of water and gaze into the depths of the water at midnight. If this is done in total silence, then the reflection of their future husband is said to appear. If no reflection appears, then this is an sign that the girl’s marriage will not take place that next year.

The second way which is popular among women who want to see as to what their husband-to-be and children may look like demands that the girl to go to a spring of water at dawn on Halloween. She must carry a glass which contains a broken egg into which a small amount of the fresh water has been poured. The girl must then gaze into the glass in complete silence.

If the girl carries out these instructions very carefully and if marriage and children are in her future, an apparition of her family-to-be will appear in the egg and water mixture. However, if no apparition is seen, then marriage and children are not going to happen in the coming year.

We all love old-fashioned pirates, who of course have been around for centuries. One of the more famous pirates was called Blackbeard and he haunted the Caribbean. Blackbeard and his pirate crew would ambush ships carrying passengers and valuable cargo at dusk or dawn when the pirates’ ship was harder to see.

To deceive its prey, the pirates’ ship would sometimes fly the same flag as the vessel they were about to attack so as to be able to get closer before being recognized for what they were. So if you feel wicked and daring, now is your chance to dress up as Captain Jack Sparrow. This debonair pirate’s costume consists of a brown jacket with an attached pirate shirt with blue vest. There is also a dashing chest belt with buckle, a sash and another two belts to go around the brown pants. There are also boot covers and a hat.

And of course, Captain Sparrow needs a companion! Rustic Pirate Lady looks the part being feminine and sexy! How cool is this female pirate’s costume? A great online Halloween costume for 2010!

It includes a well-fitting vinyl corset / waistcoat with gold trimming. This fits over a blouse with baggy sleeves, slim pants, boot tops and a hat. The result is a charming look. Great costume ideas couples!

Being a plus size doesn’t of course mean that you can’t look sexy. Just look at this Vixen Pirate Wench Plus costume! This is a fantastic chance to live out one of your fantasies – and dress up with a look that will really kill. The bright red peasant blouse has a velvet lace up corset over it. The puffy sleeves together with the low neckline just finish the costume off.

And if your partner is a plus size, he will have no excuse for not dressing up as a dashing Rustic Pirate to escort you on Halloween. He will look smart and also feel very comfortable in this buccaneer’s costume.

Some Old Halloween Folk Customs : The Church Porch Watch

The old Halloween folk custom known as the “Church Porch Watch” was a widespread happening in Wales, as well as some parts of England until the last few years of the nineteenth century.

At midnight on Halloween, those people who wanted to know who was going to die in their village over the next year would gather in the porch of the church  and stay there all night. They would keep a vigilant eye out for the ghosts of those people who were marked by Death to come to knock on their door during the next year.

Irish Custom: Throwing the Shoe

The Irish have a simple method of devining the future which is known as ‘throwing the shoe’. If a person wants to know about his future, he takes off one of his shoes on Halloween night and tosses  it over the roof of his house. If his shoe lands on the ground and points away from the house, then this is a signal that the owner will soon be travelling in the direction of the shoe.

If the shoe lands on the earth but points towards the house, there is no travelling in the coming twelve months for the wearer. It is considered good luck if his shoe lands with its sole downwards. However, if his shoe lands with its sole up, this could be a sign of imminent bad luck or possibly even death.

Another Halloween devining custom involving shoes entails a girl to taking off both her shoes when she goes to bed on Halloween night and placing them at right angles in the shape of the letter T. The following must then be said:

I have crossed my shoes in the shape of a Tee;
Hoping that this night my true love I might see,
Not in his best riches or his very worst array,
But in his own clothes he wears every day.

The vision of the girl’s future husband may then appear by her bed or be seen if she glances over her right shoulder. Often, he may appear to her in a dream. If no there is no appearance,  then this means that the girl will not marry before next Halloween.

Every woman likes to look sexy especially when going out and even more so when going to a party so what a great time to wear sexy costumes! You can look glamorous and sexy or even scary and sexy! With Halloween just around the corner, sexy Halloween costumes could just be the answer for you. The choice is yours but here are a few ideas!
