On the Eve of Saint Agnes' Day, according to ancient legend, an unmarried woman will see her future husband in a dream. St. Agnes' Day (named after the Roman Catholic child martyr who was beheaded in the year 304 AD for refusing to marry) is an ideal time for witches to cast love spells and prepare love potions and charms.
This day of the year is sacred to Ygona, an ancient Danish goddess worshipped in pre-Christian times.
