Hello and welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your host Deb Bowen and I'm Samantha Fei.

We are just delighted and honored that you have joined us for this exciting episode where

we're going to be talking about love.

We just want to start our conversation off. Samantha and I need to say happy birthday to somebody

that we love and we know you love. So just wish Joel a happy birthday month for us today please.

Yay. Happy birthday Joel. I know. I love him. I just love him. So Samantha, why don't you start us

off by telling us all sorts of wonderful, weird, superstitious things about love?

I am happy to. Everybody, thanks for joining us sit back and maybe take out some pen and paper

because I'm going to talk about some fun superstitions. Deb is going to talk about some love,

spells and candle magic and I'm going to talk also about crystals and Feng Shui for love so we

have a chock full hour waiting for you. But first when I was doing research for the show, I was just

reading through some of the old wives tales and superstitions and euphemisms that people really

believed in in terms of who they will marry and who their love is. Maybe you guys have all even

played this game. I know we did in middle school the Apple twist game where you take an apple and

you say the alphabet as you're twisting it and the letter that the twist the apple twist falls off

on is the the apple stem stem that's the name of the person you're going to fall in love with.

There's another version of that it's an ancient love game that involves twisting the apple stem

while saying the names of your perspective lovers. So if you know I'm either going to marry Jim

Bob or Larry you just say those names over and over and the name that the stem comes off on is

the person you're going to marry. There's another one with apples where you start to peel the apple

and as you're peeling you say the alphabet and when you reach a point as we all do when we're

peeling an apple that that the core breaks you know the peeling breaks whatever letter you're on
