IT IS BELIEVED THAT AFTER A SERIES OF READINGS AND A
CANDLELIGHT PROCESSION ON THE EVE OF ST. GENEVIEVE
(JAN. 3), YOU WILL SEE YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND. THIS
WILL OCCUR AFTER YOU HAVE INVOKED THE SPIRIT OF SAINT
GENEVIEVE. THE METHOD BY WHICH YOU SEE THE MAN YOU
ARE TO MARRY, IS TO HOLD A MIRROR OVER YOUR RIGHT
SHOULDER IN A DARKENED ROOM.
