"As a way of getting yourself a date, it would raise more than a few eyebrows nowadays.
But for those desperate to win a lover in Elizabethan Britain, burying a dead frog in an anthill at a cross roads and putting its bones in a river was apparently a sure fire way to secure a woman's heart.
The bizarre spell has been unearthed in a unique handwritten book of 400-year-old magic due to be auctioned next month...."

Yeah look, this is a great sounding spell but vastly overrated. Just ask my 2 previous husbands how they felt when I told them they were the product of a dead frog spell.
So I've done some modifications and now have dead Queensland cane toads nailed to crosses outside my house, near an anthill. It is fabulous for keeping marriage away.
