– St Andrew’s Eve. Don’t talk to wolves tonight! This is the one night of the year wolves can speak, and if you hear one, it is said you will die before the year’s out. Also on Andrews-Night or St Andrew’s Eve, still to this day as in centuries past, maidens divine their future husband’s name by writing potential husbands on little pieces of paper and putting them under their pillow (Eastern Europe, Poland) or baking the names into bits of dough and seeing which one floats to the top first. Men and women also on this night do other divinations such as dropping hot wax into cold water, seeing what shape it takes, then from that determining the future spouse’s profession. In Germany they drop hot lead into water and examine the shape for the spouse’s profession or name.
