Inquiring A Ladybug About A Future Spouse
(There’s a lot of variations of this poem/spell, I chose this one because I deemed it the most fitting. This one’s specifically for finding a male groom hence the word ‘sulhanen’, but there’s many variations for finding a bride as well. I’d say it’s suitable for finding a partner of any gender. [x])
Jos saat leppäkertun kädellesi, kysy siltä: "Lennä, lennä, leppäkerttu, Mistä minä sulhasen saa', Pohjosesta, itästä, Etelästä vai lännestä?" Tuleva puolisosi on siinä suunnassa, mihin leppäkerttu lentää.
If you get a ladybug on your hand, ask it: "Fly, fly, ladybug From where will I get a spouse From north, east, South or west?" Your future spouse is in the direction where the ladybug flies.
