There are a number of practices, the origins
of which are more or less obscure, that may be described as "popular
superstitions." All that may be said of them is that they are traditional,
that they have been observed since "time immemorial," and are, therefore,
worthy of some notice, even if their only value lies in the fact
that they are merely quaint and amusing.
Of
chief interest among these, to the readers of the fair sex, at any
rate, are the love charms and spells, which deal with all those
matters touching upon affairs of the heart.
