Herb Paris is also known as the True Love Knot.
It is used in a ceremony in which two girls sit in a room from midnight to one o'clock without speaking.
During this hour they pull out a hair from the other girls head for each year of that girls age.
The hairs are placed on a white linen cloth with the herb.
When the clock strikes one the each hair must be individually burnt in the flame of a white candle while saying the words :
"I offer this my sacrifice,
To him most precious in my eyes,
I charge thee now come forth to me,
That I this minute may thee see".
The future husband will appear and walk around the room and then disappear.
Neither girl will be able to see the other girls vision.
