Fortune-telling on Christmas time is the future of paper. Divination by books. Divination with a knife

Useful facts

Vasiliev's evening (January 13) and Epiphany Eve (January 18) are considered "prophetic" for divination. Guessing on the betrothed according to the old belief is possible no later than the night of January 13-14.

It is best to listen to a message from the future in an empty dark room, at a fork in the road, or by inviting your cat as an assistant.

In Russia, fortune-telling at the mirror was considered the most terrible. If the betrothed who appears in it beckons to him, the girl may fall dead, if she does not have time to cross herself three times and say "Keep me out!"

If you are going to bewitch, take off your belt, pectoral cross, undo all knots and braids, and do not cross your arms and legs.

On walnuts

Dip 2 halves of the shell into a bowl of water walnut, having previously inserted small multi-colored candles for the cake into them. On the sides of the pelvis attach pieces of paper with the words "love", "wealth", "career", "travel", "children" and any others. Let the boats sail and watch: which inscription the boats moor to, then the girl is waiting for the next year.

By the name of a passerby

The simplest, but effective divination- find out the name of the betrothed by asking what is the name of the first oncoming male passer-by at midnight.

Dog barking

At midnight, throw a handful of snow and wait for the dog to bark. If the barking is rude, the husband will be much older, the sonorous - young, distant and intermittent - is a foreigner or will come from afar, muffled - a widower or divorced, and clear and nearby - the groom most likely lives on the next street.

By strings

All girls must cut one thread of the same length and set them on fire at the same time. Whose one burns out faster, that one will be the first to marry. If the flame has not reached even half of the segment, you can not expect a wedding in the coming year.

On wax

Pour milk into a saucer and place it on the doorstep. Melt the wax in a tablespoon. Say the words "Brownie, my master, come under the threshold to drink milk, eat wax" and pour the wax into the milk (a bowl of water is a simplified version).

If a frozen figure resembles a cross, this is a sign of illness, financial difficulties and other hardships. A wax flower speaks of an imminent wedding or a new romance, an animal speaks of an enemy, a human silhouette speaks of a friend, stripes speak of a long journey or moving, stars - about luck in a career or study.

By paper

Light a candle and turn off the lights in the room. Place a crumpled piece of paper on a flat plate and light it with a candle flame. Wait for it to burn out and peer into the charred paper shadow on the wall. The outlines of the shadow will tell you about the future.

By cat

Make a guess cherished desire, call a cat into the room and carefully observe which paw it crosses the threshold with. The right one will come true, the left one will have to wait.

Over the egg

Make a small hole in a fresh egg and pour the contents into a glass of water. The shape of a curled squirrel will tell about the future: it looks like a church - a wedding awaits you, a ring - a proposal, a cradle - children, a heart - a new romance this year, a gate - a career change, a ship for a man - a business trip, for a woman - marriage and a move, the cube is a coffin and a threat to life.

By cards

Place cards with kings under your pillow. Take out one of them in the morning. The king of spades promises that the husband will be jealous, the king of clubs - a widower, the king of hearts - young and rich, the tambourine - beloved and desired.

By mirror and water

One of the options for fortune-telling on a mirror is to put a large transparent container with water on the table in a dark room, place a mirror behind it, and light candles on the sides from three sides. Look intently at the mirror through the water, and you will see your future and your betrothed in it.

Beans

Place beans in 3 sachets: peeled, half peeled and unpeeled. Hide under your pillow at night, and in the morning take out one without looking. The more refined the beans, the richer the groom will be. And if he comes across unrefined, he will be a poor man.

On the croup and rings

Hide different rings in a container with cereals: gold, silver, with precious stone, costume jewelry. Scoop up a handful of grains. If an expensive ring comes across, the groom will turn out to be noble and rich, the simple one will be poor, and if there is only cereal in his hands, the wedding will not be soon.

On pins and needles

Take two needles, lubricate with melted wax or lard, dip them into a container of water and carefully observe how they sink: instantly - your cherished wish will come true, united - for an early marriage, separated - there will be no wedding yet, the girl should be wary of family troubles, and to a man - failures in work. If one point is located opposite the other, this is a sign of obstacles in achieving the goal.

On a towel

A white towel should be hung out of the window at night with the words "Bridegroom, mummer, come and wash yourself." If the next morning it is wet, the girl will get married this year, dry - the marriage is postponed.

Forecast for the year by subjects

Pour some water into six small glasses and put a coin, a ring, a pinch of salt, sugar, a slice of bread and a match. Blindfolded, choose one of the glasses and find out your forecast for the coming year: salt - tears and sadness, sugar - good luck, coin - money, bread - full life, the ring is the wedding, and the match is the child.

For the profession of a betrothed

To find out the profession of the future husband, lay out different objects on the table: a piece of bread (farmer), a pebble (builder), a coin (merchant), a pen (official), a USB flash drive (programmer), a credit card (banker), any other items associated with different professions, and also necessarily put wedding ring... A blindfolded girl makes 3 attempts to tempt fate. If she pulls out one item at least twice, there is no doubt about her husband's profession. And if a ring falls into her hands, she will be married this year.

The tradition of fortune-telling on Christmastide is the most ancient and, most likely, will live on for a very long time. For in addition to the natural desire to know what is hidden, the sacrament of Christmas divination is very spectacular and exciting, and sometimes frightening and frightening. Christmastide lasts from 7 to 19 January. So if you did not have time to tell fortunes on Christmas night, when magic sessions have greatest strength, you will have almost two more weeks at your disposal when you can spend Christmas divination.

Fortune-telling on Christmas time is very popular among young girls and families. Late in the evening or early at night, girls get together to find out the name of the future groom or the date of their wedding, and family ladies wonder about the wealth in the house.

During the session, everyone had to adhere to certain rules and conditions.

1. Do not cross your arms and legs. One of the explanations for this is that it can kind of confuse the things with which you intend to perform the ceremony.

2. It is imperative to take off all rings and other objects that are tied to you or encircle some limbs. These can be belts or bracelets. In some cases, they loose their hair or even take off their shoes and clothes.

3. No noise in the room, there should be complete silence. All other lighting is excluded except candles.

4. During Christmas divination, a girl should not be under the protection of her religion. Therefore, it is imperative that the pectoral crosses are removed and the icons are removed from the premises.

Particular attention was paid to the choice of the place, which must have been considered "unclean". One of best places a bath was considered. After all, it was here, according to legend, that spirits, various scarecrows and other evil spirits lived. Some abandoned old house, basement or attic. Particularly courageous people dared to guess even at the cemetery, because it was the places at the junction of two worlds - borderline places that were considered valuable. Such places can be thresholds, gates, corners in the house. But, perhaps, the intersection has always been considered one of the most ominous places. They say that each of them belongs to some kind of demon, and in this place anyone will feel the presence dark forces... (when this particular proposal was written for the site, a cat tray suddenly fell in the corridor, which stood sideways against the wall and was drying ...)

1. At night you go to an intersection and when you ask a question about your future groom, draw a circle around you. After that, you must carefully listen to what is happening around. Funny talking, laughing, singing, any other positive emotions will mean an early marriage. Swearing, quarrels, crying will postpone your marriage for a year.

2. One of the evenings on Christmas week is going to funny company of several people. Small items specially prepared for this are laid out on the table: a coin, a ring, a needle, an earring, a scarf. You can get creative and add a few other items. Then the person lowers without looking left hand on the table. it Christmas divination is to understand the meaning of the thing to which the hand fell. For example, a coin - to wealth, a handkerchief - to sorrows and problems, a key - new flat... Ring for the wedding. Girls can change this fortune-telling a little and thus learn the profession of their future groom. Coin - banker, passport - lawyer, driver's license - minibus driver, flash drive - programmer, scissors - builder, spoon - cook. Here again, fantasy decides everything.

3. For the next fortune-telling on Christmastide, you will need a cat or a cat. Let the animal stand outside the threshold of the room. Make a wish and call a cat. If she crosses the threshold with her left paw, the desire will certainly come true, and if she crosses the right, there will be obstacles that you will have to overcome.

4. This is a very famous fortune-telling that can be used on any day, not only during the Christmas week. Take some book. Think of the page and line number at the top. All that remains is to open the book and interpret what you have read.

On Christmastide, you can tell fortunes online, sitting at the computer. We are sure that on our website you will find some fortune-telling that is dear to your heart. We hope you will enjoy these festive evenings with us!

Who hasn't wondered at least once? Who was not interested in looking into the future, opening the veil of secrets and mysteries? Today we will tell you how to tell fortunes on Christmas and Christmastide.

Having previously googled, asked our grandmothers, we armed ourselves with all kinds of "sacred" gizmos in order to try on ourselves the ancient rites of fortune-telling.

Since ancient times, it was customary to guess in January. Starting from Christmas Eve and ending with Epiphany, our ancestors asked the Christmas-tree evil about their future.

The most favorable time for fortune-telling was considered to be Christmas Eve (before Christmas), Vasilievsky evening (New Year's Eve, now falls on January 13) and Epiphany evening(from 18 to 19 January).

We chose Christmas Eve to look into our future. It is clear that we did not find a chicken and a felt boot for fortune-telling, but candles, mirrors, water, basins - any modern girl has these items at hand.

So, we share the most popular ways to predict the future.

Fortune-telling first. On wax

It is believed that divination with wax is one of the most faithful and accurate. In this way, not only village girls, but also ladies from high society wondered. The purpose of fortune-telling is to find out your future for a year, to find out the nature of the relationship with your husband, to predict fate.

How to guess

For this fortune-telling, you need to prepare a bowl of water and melted wax. We used a paraffin candle.

There are two methods of divination. You can light a wax candle over a bowl and just drip the wax into the water. Or pour the already prepared melted wax or paraffin into the water. In the second case, the figure is more intricate.

Figures can be considered as separate predictions - according to the principle that I see what will happen, or you can turn to deciphering the meanings that can be found at the bottom of the article.

Fortune-telling second. On subjects for a future husband

Fortune-telling by subjects is one of the simplest and easiest to perform fortune-telling. A variety of objects are laid out on the table by which you can recognize future profession husband. In the old days, bread meant - a peasant, a book - a priest, coal - a blacksmith, keys - a merchant.

How to guess

Now they use modern things, but among them there must be a wedding ring, which means marriage, but who exactly the husband will be will remain a secret. Item symbols can be labeled independently.

The girl is blindfolded and she chooses any of the objects lying on the table. Or the second option - the objects are covered with a handkerchief, and the one to whom they are guessing, puts his hand on a closed object.

Item meanings

Glass - will drink
Scissors - tailor, fashion designer
Wedding ring - get married
Ash is a worthless man
Tablet - doctor
Keys - with apartment
Candle - electrician, priest
Flash drive - geek
Mirror - dandy (reveler)
Coin - generous, rich

Fortune-telling third. Subjects for the future life

Another variation of subject fortune telling. Only now the girl learns not about the fate of her husband, but about her own. Usually fortunetellers put objects in bowls or cups, then make their choice.

Item meanings

Beads - to tears
Ring - get married
Threads - to the road
Coin - to wealth
Pill - get sick
Empty glass - nothing will happen
Pacifier - to the baby
Pen - for ease of problem solving
The key is to new housing

Fortune-telling fourth. On the water about a future life with a spouse

It's no secret that water has magical properties, healing and predictive power. Therefore, it is not surprising that water began to be used in predictions, fortune-telling, and magical rituals.

One of the most popular and easily accomplished fortune-telling is fortune-telling with glasses of water. This method allows you to find out how the girl will live with her future husband.

How to guess

Prepare 4 glasses of water. Put salt in one of the glasses, sugar in the other, put the wedding ring in the third, leave the fourth glass with fresh water.

If the girl draws out the water with sugar, the relationship with her husband will be harmonious, "sweet", warm and kind. Salt water means an unsuccessful marriage, there will be many quarrels, disputes and tears. Water with a ring means a quick marriage. And a glass of plain water may speak of an empty short-lived relationship or the absence of a relationship in the near future.

Fifth fortune-telling. On the water about the future life

Most likely, this fortune-telling was modernized at a later time, but my grandmother, born in 1911, along with fortune-telling with the help of a live chicken, with a felt boot outside the gate, already used this method of predicting fate.

How to guess

It is necessary to take a basin, fill it halfway with water, attach pieces of paper with the layout of events to the walls in a circle - wedding, pregnancy, theft, death, winnings, career advancement, illness, money, etc. After that, take half a walnut shell, in which it is placed small candle. And such a “boat” descends into the middle of your reservoir with predictions. Where the shells float is to be expected next year.

There is another version of this kind of fortune-telling.

Papers with questions are placed on the bottom of the basin without water, then water is poured, which piece of paper will come up, then it will come true in the near future. At the same time, so that fortune-telling has reliable magic power, you should prepare 13 pieces of paper.

Fortune-telling sixth. On strings

Since ancient times, the thread was considered a talisman among the Slavs. Therefore, it is believed that fortune-telling with threads is very strong and truthful.

How to guess

Girls should take threads of the same length and set them on fire at the same time. Whoever's thread burns out the fastest will be the first to marry.

If the thread faded out immediately or burned out by less than half, it means that the girl will either not marry or will marry very late.

Another fortune-telling with a thread. You need to take three steel needles, three threads - red, black and white flowers... Thread the threads into the needles and stick them into the pillow so that only the needles stick out. The needles should be stuck in a triangle. Then you should make a wish and draw out the needle. A needle with a red thread means that the wish will come true. With a black thread - it will not come true, with a white thread - it will come true partially, or not this year.

Fortune-telling seventh. On the book

It used to be customary to read the Bible. Exactly at midnight, it was necessary to open the Scripture and read the prediction. Now, the Bible can be replaced with another book, while guessing a certain page, line or paragraph. Interesting fortune telling it turns out if you use "Rubai" by Omar Khayyam or any quotation book. We had in our hands the "Alchemist" Coelho, in which we read: "They don't drink wine in this country," he replied. "Faith does not allow." We were a little upset.

Eighth divination. With mirrors

Fortune telling on mirrors is considered scary and dangerous. The thing is that in many cultures a mirror is a devilish gift and has the property of reflecting not only the physical world, but also the other world.

How to guess

At midnight, place two mirrors opposite each other and light candles. At correct location mirrors, a mirrored corridor is formed. A spell should be said: "The betrothed, disguised, come to me dressed up." Then you need to concentrate and stare into the corridor. After some time, the figure of the future husband can show in the depths. If you see some scary figures or feel discomfort, you should say “Chur, me!” This will drive the evil spirit back to where it came from.

Christmas divination for the betrothed

Yule and many other fortune-telling for the betrothed were in great demand. In the old days it was difficult to find a girl who would not try to find out how soon she would get married and what her future husband would be like. If you are not married yet, you can follow the example of our ancestors.

In the old days, Christmas divination was a very fun pastime. Some of them required complete loneliness, but part of the fortune-telling, on the contrary, provided for the presence a large number of people.

One of the most popular ways on Christmastide was to throw a felt boot onto the road. Each of the girls in turn threw a felt boot behind her back, and then checked where his sock was looking. It was believed that the future spouse would be from that side. Now felt boots have become a rarity, but you can try to throw your usual winter shoes. However, try to select a location so that they do not fall into an open hatch or other similar location.

It is also considered the best time for or.

Of the terrible Christmas divination for the betrothed, fortune-telling with a mirror can be called. At all times, mirrors have been attributed to various mystical properties, including the ability to show the future. In order to see the betrothed, you need to put a mirror on the table and light a candle on both sides of it. After that they say:

My betrothed, disguised, show yourself to me.

This divination has many variations, for example, with two mirrors that create a mirrored corridor.

During Christmas time, many girls tried to spend the night in someone else's house, for example, with a friend. The fact is that if you go to sleep in a new place, where you have never slept before, you can see your future groom. To do this, before going to bed, you should say:

I sleep in a new place, dream about the groom to the bride.

After that, you can not talk to anyone until the morning, and enter into a dialogue only after you remember your dream. The man you see tonight will be your spouse.

Fortune-telling was very popular among girls in the past, which made it possible to find out who would get married first and who would not marry at all. To do this, cut off each of them on a thread of the same length and set it on fire at the same time. The one whose thread will burn out faster and get married first. The sequence of burning the threads was associated with the sequence of marriage of each participant in this fortune-telling. And if the thread has burned out less than half, it will take a very long time to get married, and perhaps fate has prepared the fate of the old maid.

In the old days, girls were often deprived of the opportunity to choose a husband on their own. Perhaps that is why they tried, at least through fortune-telling, to find out with whom they would have to live. At midnight they took a knife and went out with it. They cut the snow with these words:

Damn, damn, don't be silent, damn, damn, tell me what kind of husband I get, will you have to laugh or cry?

After that, you should listen in anticipation of the sounds that dogs usually make. Angry barking or growling says that the husband will be an evil, stern and gloomy person. Deaf and hoarse barking - will be much older than you. Voiced- younger than or about your age. Shrill barking portends that your spouse will have an unpleasant disposition. Merry and lively barking - it will a cheerful person easy going. If you hear howl, which means that you will outlive your spouse, and you will become a widow quite early.
