- Put 7 types of flowers under your pillow and dream about your future spouse. Or give someone else the job so you have time to mingle with more interesting prospects.
- Eat a salted herring end first, and go to sleep without drinking water. The person who offers you water in your dream will be your future spouse. Can work just as well with salty licorice.
- Jump over 7 gates and you'll meet your partner-to-be. Try to avoid the countryside so you will have a better chance.
- Walk around a spring or a pool completely naked. In the reflection you'll see an image of your loved one, and most likely other interested parties.
- Roll around naked on Midsummer's Eve. Always a sure way to be noticed! :-)
