Many Halloween divination games have slightly different variations. Here are two of my favorites that use both apples and mirrors to catch a glimpse of your true love’s face:
Just before midnight on Halloween, place a candle by a mirror in a darkened room and light the wick. Face the mirror and cut an apple into nine slices. Eat eight apple slices while gazing into the mirror. Save the final piece and at the first stroke of midnight offer it to the mirror. If the spirits accept your offering, the face of your true love will appear over your shoulder in the mirror.
Another version of this game is slightly less complex. Sit in front of a mirror at midnight. Eat and apple while combing your hair. Your true love is said to appear in the mirror behind you. I prefer the version with a little more ritual, but this is a great quick game for the casual fortune-teller.
In either version, however, beware. If you see a skull in the mirror, it foretells that youi will die before marrying.
