the st. agnes experiment

today is the eve of the 21st day of January.

if you read here. you will read that st. agnes, martyred at the age of 12, was the

...patron saint of young women and the special protectress of bodily purity...

you will also read, there are many strange customs that go along with this particular saint. one being brought to my attention by 'leyna today, that being the whole part about finding out your future husband if you do this and this and this or that and that and that...all on the eve before st. agnes' saint day. which is, in counting, 30 minutes from now. i should make this fast.

i told 'leyna i was going to try this out as an experiment. i am not sure, but do you think this will work for semi-non-believer types? i guess you'll have to stay in tune for my results...

i'm crossing my fingers that i don't have a vacant dream, or that i dream of an animal, or that i have multiple dreams. as said earlier today to maymay, that would just be horrible and hilarious all at the same time. anyway, the eve is almost done, so i will sign off with the hopes that:

Agnes sweet, and Agnes fair,
Hither, hither, now repair;
Bonny Agnes, let me see
The lad (or lass) who is to marry me.
