History is full of love charms and spells, but only a few other those are printed and reprinted in most modern books. When we here at StrangeAgo find an old charm or spell that we have never heard of before, we are always anxious to get it up on the site for research purposes.
The following love charm was originally published in a newspaper from 1921:
In many parts of Great Britain a girl jilted by her lover will seek by the light of the moon for a dried acorn beneath an oak tree. This she will burn at midnight in a candle flame, reciting the following doggerel: “Tis not this acorn I would burn, but my true love’s heart that I would turn. May he no joy or profit see, till he comes back again to me.”
