Boys, also, would dream in like manner of love and marriage at Hallowe'en, if only they would gather ten leaves of ivy without speaking, throw away one, and put the other nine under their pillow. Again, divination was practised by means of a cake called barm-breac, in which a nut and a ring were baked.
Sir James George Frazer - Balder the Beautiful, Volume I.: A Study in Magic and Religion: the Golden Bough, Part VII., The: Fire-Festivals of Europe and the Doctrine of the External Soul
