5 spells to get a boyfriend with the help of Santo Antônio

In popular tradition, san antonio is the matchmaker. The devotion dates back to the 12th century, thanks to the generosity with which the friar gave gifts to young women without a dowry so that they could get married.

According to another legend, a girl, tired of praying and waiting for the saint to hear her, threw her image out the window. The statuette hit the head of a rich man, who soon fell in love with it. From these “stories”, Santo Antônio, celebrated on June 13, had no more rest and, until today, receives many requests.

Below, see six tips for delicious sympathies – in honor of the patron saint – by the esoteric writer Monica Buonfiglio to find your better half.

1. The BRL 2 bill
On June 12th, place a R$2 bill between your bed frame and mattress. The next day, when leaving the house, he gives the ballot to the first beggar he meets and asks his name. Maybe your next love has the same name as him. And you can check the time it will take to meet this person through the first vowel of the beggar’s name: A – within a month; E – in two months; I – in three months; O – in four months; and U – in five months.

2. Needles in the basin
On Saint Anthony’s Day, June 13th, place two identical needles in a bowl of water containing two tablespoons of sugar. If the next day they are together, it symbolizes that the wedding is near.

3. Santo Antônio in a cold weather
Look closely at Santo Antônio and tell him that while he doesn’t find you a boyfriend, he’ll stay in the fridge. And then, put it in the freezer. They say it works quickly.

4. Without Baby Jesus
This sympathy consists of removing the baby Jesus who is in the arms of Saint Anthony and telling the saint that if he doesn’t find you a boyfriend, he won’t have the little one back either. Once you get a love, quickly return the small image to its place.

5. Saint Anthony upside down
Place the image upside down in a glass containing water or cachaça. And promise to leave the saint in this sad situation until he finds his love. Also guarantee, the answer will come soon.
