Prognosticating with Ivy Leaves.

Lay an ivy leaf for you and some for your friends and family in vessels of water on New Year's Eve. Cover them and set them in a safe place. Return on the night of January 5th. If the leaf is fair and green, it denotes a year of sound health. If it has a spot, it denotes sickness. A spot at the top of the leaf means sickness in the head. A spot in the middle of the leaf means sickness in the heart or stomach. A spot at the bottom or stem means a malady of the legs or feet is in store. Spots all over mean mortal danger and death.
