>Romantic divination was big in early Halloween, probably because the Catholic, Lutheran and Episcopalian All Saints’ Day liturgy referenced “wise virgins” waiting for bridegrooms. To identify your future beloved, try sowing hemp seed in a churchyard, throwing a ball of wool, chucking nuts on the fire, or if you’re Cornish and cavalierly indifferent to health and safety, “running molten lead through cold water”. This “peep in the mirror before midnight” seems awfully tame: put a snail on a plate of flour and get it to write your future husband’s initials, you coward.

The Shamrock suggests it was associated with Ireland from the start, but anything Catholic would have been called Irish. The postcard seems to be a joke.
