Martyred for steadfastly holding onto her virginity and eschewing all offers of matrimony Saint Agnes is of course an obvious choice of Saint to secure you a future husband.
At midnight throw hemp seed over your shoulder and an image of your future spouse will appear in your dreams. Speak the following incantation before you go to bed (ensure you sleep on your left side and chant the words three times);
"Saint Agnes is a friend to me
In the gift I ask of thee
Let me this night my husband see"

| Some dreams of suitors are underwhelming. |
If you dream of a man, well done, that's your future husband!
If you dream of lots of men you are going to get married many times.
If you don't dream of any men it means you will live alone.
If you dream of thistles or thorny plants it means your husband will rarely shave.
If you dream of a puddle it means your husband will sweat profusely.
If you dream of poultry it means your husband's breath will smell.
If you dream of stew cooking in a pot it means your husband will be most bilious.
If you dream of a mouse it means your husband will be obedient.
If you dream of large velvet cushions it means your husband will comfortably rotund.
If you dream of white clouds it means your husband will be old.
If you dream of eggs it means your husband will be young.
If you dream of a desert it means your husband will give you no young.
