Basil to determine the fortune of your marriage

‘If two leaves of basil are placed upon a hot coal and burn away quietly,
the marriage will be a happy one;
but if they crackle to a certain extent, the lives of the couple,
who are represented by the two leaves, will be ruffled by quarrels.
If, however, the leaves crackle very much and fall apart,
it shows such incompatibility of temper that the parties interested will be wise
if they decide to separate before being bound by the marriage tie.’

– Winifred S. Blackman, The Magical and Ceremonial Uses of Fire, 1916.
