Humorous and informative, this book captures the folklore, myths and beliefs of 'old time Jamaica' that have stood the test of time.How to know One's Future Spouse: In order to experience a premonition of whomever one's future spouse will be, it is advised by folk 'mystics' of old, that the seeker should eat an extra large mouthful of salted codfish just before retiring to sleep, on any chosen night. The seeker, also, should not drink water after having eaten the salted codfish, despite the upsurge of thirst that is expected to come before he/she goes to sleep. During sleep, it is said, a dream will unfold. The dream will reveal a clear picture of one's future spouse, most likely carrying a glassful of water.   3
