From time immemorial in Russia it is customary to guess on the January holidays - in the interval between Christmas and Epiphany. From January 7 to January 19, the time comes when, as our ancestors believed, the higher powers could predict the future most accurately.

Probably on Christmas night we all feel the magic around us. It is believed that on Christmas, various ghosts, spirits and evil spirits enter our world and try to contact us. Knowing this, it was on Christmas Eve that our ancestors tried to look into the future, see secret signs and change their lives.

What days is better to guess in January 2018

January 5-13 - Holy Evenings. It was believed that fortune-telling is most reliable in these January days.

January 7 - Day of St. Catherine the womanizer, who is the patroness of girls' destinies. Since ancient times, unmarried people put candles on this day in front of the image of St. Catherine in the church, so that she would send them a good life partner. Young unmarried men on this day adhered to the fast, hoping for a successful marriage.

January 13 - Feast of the Apostle Andrew the First-Called, which is also called Andrew's evening. The girls wondered about the future groom - both from the 12th to the 13th, and from the 13th to 14 January.

January 16-17 - Barbarian Day, an ancient folk holiday.The day before, his girls cut a cherry twig and put it in the water. The one whose twig was blooming by the spring was to get married soon. Also on this day, the girls of marriageable age made dumplings and offered food to the guys. It was believed that if he ate a dumpling prepared by one of the girls, he would soon marry her.

Divination for Christmas 2018: for the future on wax

The brownie is the spirit that guards the living quarters, he warns the owner against misfortunes and troubles, and on Christmas night he is able to lift the dark veil that hides the future of his wards.

For divination in wax we need a saucer of milk and a church wax candle. Melt a candle and pour it into milk, while whispering the text:

"HOUSE, MY OWNER, COME UNDER THE THRESHOLD TO DRINK MILK, DRIVE WAX"

The saucer is placed near the threshold of an apartment or house. Take a closer look and try to understand what the cured wax looks like.

1) The egg is a sign that you are ready for a new stage in life.
2) Star - career growth awaits you.
3) Flower - meeting with a loved one or a wedding.
4) The cross is a harbinger of health troubles, stripes of troubles. The more distinct the shape of the cross, the more serious the problems.
5) Wax dripped in stripes - a crossing or a long road awaits you.
6) Beast - a person will appear in your environment who will interfere with you in everything.
7) Leaf of a tree - expect financial well-being.
8) Human outlines - fate will prepare you an acquaintance, which will eventually develop into friendship.

After divination the saucer with milk and wax, promised to the brownie, should stand at the door all night.

HOW TO GUESS FOR CHRISTMAS BEFORE YOU BREAK (On the night of January 6-7)

Divination by kings

On the night of January 6-7, before going to bed, girls need to put playing cards with the image of kings under the pillow. In the morning, without looking, it is worth pulling out one card. Whatever king a girl gets, so her husband will be: the king of spades is old and jealous, the king of clubs is military, the king of hearts is young and rich, and the king of diamonds is desired.

Fortune telling on a love dream

Before going to bed, a fortune-telling girl needs to eat something salty and in no case drink water. Going to bed, you need to say: "The betrothed, mummer, come to me and give me a drink!" According to legend, whoever comes to drink you, you will marry him.

Divination by the betrothed with a stocking

Girls will have to prepare for this fortune-telling in advance - buy stockings. Before going to bed, put on a new stocking on one leg and go to bed. At the same time, the girl should say: "The betrothed, the mummer, come and take off my shoes." A man who takes off a stocking from a fortuneteller in a dream will become her husband.

Divination on mirrors

This fortune-telling is not suitable for everyone, but rather for those who love to tickle their nerves. It is considered one of the most dangerous among the people.

For fortune telling, two mirrors are taken (large enough and, if possible, equal in size), set opposite each other and illuminated with two candles. It is best to keep one mirror in front of the illuminated wall mirror, so that you get a long hallway illuminated by lights. All animals and strangers must be removed from the room. If it is very scary, you can leave a couple of modest persons, however, they should not make no sound, not look in the mirror and not approach the fortuneteller.

At the end of the corridor formed between the two mirrors, a narrowed one should appear. True, sometimes you have to look for a very long time, and you can see not only the betrothed, but also all kinds of evil spirits ...

Fortune-telling on dumplings

One of the most traditional divination at Christmas.

The hostess of the house, who invites guests, prepares dumplings with potatoes, and puts filling in some of them in the form of small surprises. The essence of fortune-telling lies in the fact that no one knows what he will come across, and it is by the filling of the dumpling that they determine what awaits a person next year.

For example:

• Lollipop - life next year will be sweet;
• Paper bill - big money is waiting for you;
• Thread - for a long road or journey;
• Dragee-type candies - replenishment of the family;
• Black peppercorns - means life with peppercorns;
• A button - many interesting new items.

SIMPLE GUIDING

Fortune telling in the name of the betrothed

In order to find out the name of the future husband, a girl just needs to go out and ask the first man she meets to give his name.

Fortune telling by the book

It is necessary to prepare a book with suitable content in advance. Without opening the book, the girls guess the page and line numbers above or below. Then open the book to the desired page and read the required lines. Depending on what the fortuneteller worries most about, and the selected paragraph is interpreted.

Fortune telling on the water

Two identical glasses are prepared. One of them is filled to the brim with water. Having made a wish, the fortune-telling girl begins to pour liquid from one glass to another. Does this several times. After that, you need to look at the surface where the glasses stood. If there are no more than two or three drops left on it, the wish will come true. If there are more drops, it is difficult to bring it to life.

Fortune telling for Christmas: rules and the most common types.

Slavic fortune-telling was traditionally carried out at Christmas time. On the night of January 6-7, any prediction, even accidentally said, is considered the most accurate.

Fortune-telling can be treated in different ways. But the fact that real miracles happen on the night before Christmas does not even refute the church. On this great night, the heavenly space opens up. If you go out into the street just before dawn and turn with great desire to the starry space to fulfill your cherished dream, the opened space will be a sign that the dream is destined to come true. Many people dream, someone believes, and someone laughs skeptically. But those who managed to see this miracle - the opening heavens, confidently confirm that it happened. What I had only dreamed of came true after what I saw. But be very careful. The wish will definitely come true! But are you sure that this is exactly what you want?

Video: Divination for Christmas at home: simple

The brightest holiday of the Nativity of Christ is not only one of the most significant Christian holidays, but also a truly magical time during which you can tell fortunes about the events of the coming year.

Personal life, well-being, health - these and many other areas of human life are important for each of us, and how many questions about this may arise - so many options for fortune-telling exist to obtain answers. Let's take a look at the most truthful, interesting and popular types of divination for Christmas, and for your convenience, they will be sorted by who or what they are guessing and with what objects.

Christmas divination for the betrothed

The most popular type of fortune-telling, one or another of which every girl resorts to at least once in her life, regardless of whether the result is taken as a joke or seriously. So, how can you tell fortunes on your betrothed for Christmas at home?

We use a mirror

Since ancient times, only the most daring girls have used mirrors during fortune-telling. The reason for this was not only the relatively high price of such an accessory in the old days, but also its mystical aura based on many beliefs. And these beliefs promised a harsh retribution for inattention and sluggishness during fortune-telling - the betrothed seen in the mirror could harm the fortuneteller.

However, this did not keep the girls trembling with fear from the temptation to see their future lover. And if you are not timid, you can also try your luck and try to see your betrothed.

***

For the first option, you will need 2 mirrors without flaws (one larger, the other smaller), 2 white candles, a piece of red natural fabric (wool, silk, cotton or linen) or a red tablecloth, a new box of matches. It is better to guess in a non-residential area (attic, utility outbuilding, garage), and if you have to use a living room for this, then during fortune-telling you should be completely alone.

On the night of January 6-7, lay a cloth (tablecloth) on a table or any other sufficiently spacious horizontal surface. Then set the mirrors opposite each other so that the larger mirror is reflecting towards you and at a distance, and the smaller one is closer to you, but "face to face" with the larger mirror. Thus, the effect of multiple reflection is achieved - the so-called mirror corridor.

At the end of this corridor, you will see the narrowed person or a thing or event related to him. In the same way, you can look for answers to other questions not related to personal life.

Place a candle on both sides of the mirrors, and then light them from one match. Loosen your hair, remove the belt, chain and other items closed in a ring (bracelet, watch, headband, etc.). The pectoral cross, if you wear it, must also be removed. Ideally, during fortune-telling, you should be naked, but if for some reason this is not possible, comfortable and spacious clothes are enough.

The room should not have any other sources of lighting other than lighted candles. Sit in front of the mirrors so that you can see the above-mentioned mirrored corridor in the larger one. Focus on your desire to see your betrothed and carefully look deeper into the corridor.

As a rule, before the appearance of images-answers to your question, candles begin to crackle or their flame dims, and the surface of the mirror may also become dull. As soon as you get an answer to your question, say, "Get out of this place!" and place one of the mirrors with the reflective side down so that the mirrored corridor disappears.

***

The second option of fortune telling on the betrothed will also require a lot of courage from you. To do this, you need a mirror as large as possible, but which you can carry without much discomfort. With this mirror, you will have to go out at midnight from January 6 to 7 at a deserted intersection.

An intersection can be anything you like - pedestrian or car (choose country roads where no one drives at night). The ideal option is the intersection of 5 roads, the so-called witch's intersection - this place has a special power, thanks to which you will be able to get the most accurate and reliable answer.

Arriving at the place, outline a vicious circle around you, you can simply on the ground or in the snow with a stick. After that, stand in the center of the circle, take a mirror in your hands and hold it at eye level so that you can see not only your reflection, but also the space behind your back, always from one of the roads (paths) of the intersection. Concentrate on your desire to see your betrothed and say "Costumed-betrothed, come to me along the path, but along the white snowball!"

After a while, you may hear strange sounds and creak of snow, regardless of the actual presence of it. At this moment, the betrothed should appear in the reflection of the mirror behind your back and head towards you.

It is not customary to consider the reflection for a long time, so as soon as you remember the image of your future spouse, say "Keep away from me, keep away from this place!" and turn the mirror away from you. Return home without turning around and in silence.

The third version of fortune telling is the simplest, and for it you will need a mirror, a glass of water and 3 candles. Put a mirror on the table, in front of it is a crystal glass with water (if there is none, then a glass glass will do), around which, on three sides, you place candles.

Candles should be the only light source in the room, and white wine can be used instead of water.

After that, light the candles and, focusing on your desire to see your betrothed, look at the mirror through the glass. At first, you will not see anything, but after a while, in the reflection of the sparkling glass on the surface of the mirror, images will begin to appear - silhouettes, faces or objects. In them you will find a hint as to who your future spouse will be.

There are also faster and simpler fortune-telling for the betrothed or future personal life, during which a mirror is used.

For example, if the weather is clear at Christmas and the month is visible, then you can go outside with a mirror and catch its reflection. Having started to look closely at it, after a while you can see not one month, but several. How many such reflections of the heavenly body will be - so many people will live in the house of the future husband.

We guess on the cards

Cards are a popular tool for everyday fortune telling, but at Christmas you have the opportunity to get the most accurate answer to your question about your personal life. At the same time, it is not necessary to buy Tarot cards for this, because an ordinary deck of cards, which has never been played, converges.

So, if you have several boyfriends, and you want to find out which one to give preference to, then card fortune-telling will help you figure out their feelings and the prospects for your relationship. To do this, select 4 jacks from the deck, assign each of them the name of a specific young man, then carefully shuffle and lay it face down on the table next to it.

Shuffle the remaining 32 cards in the deck and divide into 4 equal piles and distribute them from left to right. After that, each pile must be sequentially decomposed under each of the jacks.

The contents of each stack represent the perspectives of your relationship. It should be interpreted first by the dominant suit, and then the meanings of specific cards should be considered.

So, first you need to determine the dominant suits in each of the piles - this will mean the general trend of the relationship and what will become their key characteristic. So, worms are love and sincere feelings, peaks are the presence of children, clubs are constant quarrels and suffering, and tambourines are material wealth. Based on this general characteristic, you can remove from fortune telling the jack that is not suitable for you, along with the pile of cards corresponding to it.

After that, you select the three remaining jacks, shuffle them, and place them on the table. Collect the corresponding cards, also shuffle, divide into three piles and lay them out according to the principle described above. Next, you study the prospects and remove the least attractive jack. Repeat the procedure with the two remaining candidates for your hand and heart.

After completing a deal for two jacks, you choose the more attractive one and look at which cards are in his pile. Below are the meanings of cards of each suit, but remember that in this scenario, each of them is independent and cannot be interpreted in combination with others.

Clubs:

· 6 - useless crossings, road not bringing results;

· 7 - problems in the "state house" - a state institution;

· ace - unexpected news from afar.

Made from January 6 to 7, this alignment is true for 1 year - until next Christmas.

There is also a quick option for divination by the betrothed using cards. To do this, you need to take four kings and put them under your pillow. Going to bed on the night of January 6-7, say: "Who is my betrothed, who is my mummer, I will dream in my dream."

By which of the kings of your deck the dreamed person will look like, you can judge the future spouse. At the same time, the similarity can be not only in the appearance of the person himself, but also in his clothing, facial expression - be guided by the characteristic features of the kings of your deck.

If you dream of the king of hearts, your lover will be young and with money, the peak king means a jealous husband with a significant age difference, the tambourine is a marriage of mutual love and life in complete harmony, while the king of clubs foreshadows family life with a businessman or military man.

We use materials at hand

Many fortune telling for Christmas at home on the betrothed, they suggest the use of various materials at hand - rings, needles, sugar, salt, and so on. Let's take a look at the most truthful and popular ones.

Take a bunch of twigs from a used broom and weave a symbolic bridge out of them, placing it on a bowl of water. Put a plate with a bridge under your bed, and when you go to bed on the night of January 6-7, say: "Who is my betrothed, who is my mummer, he will take me across the bridge." If in a dream you are led across the bridge by a man - take a closer look at him, your future spouse will look like him.

On Christmas Eve, go outside and approach the neighboring windows. If you hear laughter and a joyful conversation, your betrothed will be a cheerful person with an easy disposition, but if you hear a quarrel, you risk marrying a jealous and quarreler.

If a lot of snow fell on Christmas, then you can use it for fortune telling. To do this, you need to take off your rings, chain, belt and any other encircling objects, go to the snowdrift and lie in it, without crossing your arms or legs. After that, you need to get up and leave without looking back.

In the morning, by the nature of the trail left in the snowdrift, one can judge the future husband. A cut trail with a lot of cracks promises a stern and cruel husband, a smooth and soft trail - loving and kind, a very deep trail portends several marriages, and if it is covered with snow before morning, then family life will not come soon and it is too early to judge about it.

You can also tell fortunes with a wedding ring (take it from your mother, married sister or girlfriend), a glass of water and two candles. In this case, it is important that there are no edges, inscriptions or patterns on the bottom of the glass.

For fortune-telling, it is necessary to fill the dishes ¾ with water and put a pre-cleaned wedding ring on the bottom. Place lighted candles on the sides and look at the bottom of the glass through the ring. After a while, you can see the image of your future husband.

Fortune telling on Christmas night

Another popular type of divination, which includes a wide variety of options for using improvised objects to obtain symbolic answers and their subsequent interpretation.

Pouring out wax

There are two basic variations of wax divination, one being performed in the comfort of a room, and the other on a porch, threshold, or at the front door. Let's take a closer look at each of them.

For the first option, you will need a wax or stearin candle and a plate of water. You can guess both alone and in the company, in any room of your home. Light a candle and wait until enough melted wax has accumulated under the flame. Then tilt the candle over the plate and pour the wax until a pattern or shape forms at the bottom. Lift the frozen wax figure out of the water and try to determine what you see in it.

It is also worth interpreting the resulting images, trusting your imagination and intuition. Which interpretation is the first to arise in thoughts is the correct one.

Of course, it can be considered a great success if the figurine poured out of wax unambiguously indicates any object or living creature. But this does not happen often, so large figures should be interpreted in terms of shape and evoked associations.

For example, a bag can mean an unexpected profit or a gift, a fish - a new acquaintance or pregnancy, a mountain - obstacles in achieving your goal. At the same time, these interpretations are not the only correct ones, because you may have other associations with the figures you saw. But if at the bottom of the plate you see a scattering of wax droplets - to prosperity in the coming year, and many small stars promise success in business or social activities.

For the second option, you need a piece of wax or stearin and a saucer of milk. Take wax melted in a spoon, put a saucer on the threshold or porch, say "Brownie, my master, come under the threshold to drink milk, eat wax!", Then pour the wax into the milk and watch how it solidifies.

During this fortune-telling, not only the final figure, in the form of which the wax hardens in milk, is important, but also the intermediate forms that it takes before hardening.

In the figure that the finally hardened wax will show you, look for a hint of the key event of the coming year, while the intermediate forms indicate the circumstances of the formation of these events.

If we talk about the interpretation, then here you also have to trust your imagination and intuition. Examples of the meaning of some figures:

· mushroom - physical health, material well-being or recovery from illness;

· bunch of grapes - good luck, pleasant surprise or unexpected help in difficult times;

· bell - news, and the smoother and more beautiful the figure, the more pleasant the news will be;

· snake - the appearance of an ill-wisher or the intrigues of an existing enemy;

· a heart - support of loved ones, in some cases symbolizes health problems (cardiovascular system).

Sometimes it is far from immediately possible to recognize a living creature, plant or object, and if a comprehensive examination of the figurine did not cause any associations, try looking at its shadow.

To do this, light a candle or any other portable light source (flashlight, desk lamp) and position the wax structure so that it casts a shadow on the wall. Rotate the figurine slowly to achieve the most complete picture and the most information for interpretation.

Fortune telling on the coffee grounds

They tell fortunes on the coffee grounds in the morning of January 7, combining fortune-telling with the enjoyment of a morning cup of coffee. The prophetic drink is made from finely ground coffee, only by hand in a turkey or small saucepan, and must be mixed well before being poured into cups.

While drinking a drink, you need to focus on your desire to know the events of the coming year (if you are guessing alone) or to discuss it with those who keep you company. When the coffee is drunk, take the cup in your right hand, cover it with a saucer with your left hand, then shake the coffee grounds in a wide circular motion and turn the cup upside down on the saucer to drain the rest.

After 10-15 seconds, it is necessary to remove the cup from the saucer and carefully examine the pattern formed on their surface, formed by the smallest particles of coffee grounds.

When recognizing and interpreting images, you need to show associative thinking and imagination as much as possible, because different people in the same pattern can see different symbols. And in this case, what is important is what you see, so outside help is unlikely to come in handy here.

It is necessary to examine the cup and saucer in a certain order, since different parts of the dishes correspond to different areas of life and time intervals.

First, the walls of the cup are viewed from top to bottom, and the symbols near the edge give a short-term prediction (come true within a month), while those closer to the bottom are responsible for a long-term prediction (come true within a year). The patterns on the bottom of the cup warn of trouble or events that will require you to be careful. The symbols near the handle indicate your state at the moment or in the near future, and a panoramic examination of the walls of the cup from right to left of the handle will first show you what will soon leave your life, and from left to right - what will soon appear. If you can see the patterns on the saucer, they will give you clues about your past.

Let's take a look at the meaning of some symbols as an example. So, an ax without a hatchet promises you difficulties, a kettle (near the handle of the cup) - family well-being, while located closer to the bottom, this symbol promises minor squabbles and domestic quarrels. The flower symbolizes the fulfillment of a cherished desire, straight lines - the achievement of goals, a bee - receiving good news, a fish - good luck in all matters (on the walls) or a warning about the need for well-balanced decisions (on the bottom of the cup).

Many small dots are for money, and one clear dot enhances the meaning of the symbol next to it. A large, clean space (no coffee grounds) symbolizes a balanced mood. A vertical white stripe from the bottom to the very edge is a serious hazard warning, especially if located close to the handle.

As you can see, there are many symbols, and only a small part of them is listed above, and in general, the process of interpreting them is a very interesting and exciting exercise. So fortune telling on the coffee grounds on Christmas morning is not only a way to find out your future, but also a great opportunity to have fun with your family or a group of friends over a cup of aromatic drink.

Object divination

The most famous and simplest way to tell fortunes about the events of the next year is to pull out objects at random. This option is best suited for a large company, each person in which gives a small object - a ring, a coin, a hairpin, a handkerchief, a mirror, a candy, and so on.

All these items are folded into a suitable size headgear (hat or hat), as an option - in a bag or box.

When putting things in a hat, a person must publicly announce what exactly the object put by him will symbolize for all fortunetellers. It is not prohibited to participate in fortune-telling of objects similar in form, but differing in interpretation.

Further actions are simple - everyone in turn takes out objects at random from a hat (bag, box) and, by their nature, judge the events awaiting them in the coming year. Despite the rather frivolous and entertaining nature of the fortune-telling itself, it has amazing accuracy and is great for friendly gatherings on Christmas night.

There is also a simpler variation of the divination described above. It only needs two items - paper and a pen. All those present write on paper various phrases like "You will be rich", "Be careful, you have an ill-wisher" and so on, from each person - 3 leaves with a prediction on each.

All these strips are folded into a hat or bag, mixed thoroughly, after which all participants in the fortune-telling take out 3 pieces of paper. It is believed that what is written on them will come true within a year.

We use candles

Candles are an indispensable auxiliary attribute of most fortune-telling. At the same time, in some types of divination, they are the main tool for looking into the future.

So, if you want to know what the coming year will be like, write the estimated characteristics on strips of paper and secure them in turn on the edge of a large bowl. Then pour water into this bowl and gently lower on its surface a small candle inserted in a nut or chicken egg shell. Which of the strips the candle will light up - this will be the coming year for you.

Also on the night of January 6-7 (between 1:00 and 2:00), you can use a candle to tell fortunes on the general characteristics of the coming year. For this in

It has long been believed that the best time to find out the future falls on Christmastide. Christmastide is a two-week winter holiday that begins on Christmas Eve, January 6, and ends on January 19, at Epiphany. But the most favorable time for fortune-telling is the night before Christmas.

In England, at nightfall, the girl went to the woodpile and brought home an armful of firewood. In the morning they were counted: if the number of firewood turned out to be even, the wedding was to be celebrated in the coming year, if it was odd, the wedding was postponed.

In Russia, fortune-telling is very similar - at midnight they approach a board fence and, arms outstretched, try to cover as many boards as possible. If there is an even number of pieces of wood “in the arms”, there will be a wedding.

In the Czech Republic it is customary to use apples to guess. After Christmas dinner, the apples are cut across, and if the correct pitted star is inside, the coming year will be happy.

And in order to find out if the feelings of the heart are mutual, an old Czech custom prescribes to choose the most delicious apple and treat it to the object of your passion. If a lover or beloved eats this apple to the core - you can count on reciprocal feelings, eat it together with the middle - to be young together. Well, if he refuses, is undernourished, or even worse - if he gives the apple to someone else - he does not love and will not love.

For Bulgarians, the surest way to get an answer to any question is to ask a book. It's simple: the desire is thought, the page number, paragraph and line - that's where the prediction is stored. If the answer is not straightforward, then everyone can interpret it according to their own understanding.

And here is how they try to predict the birth of a child in Greece. Take a pie or cheesecake, put it on the center of the table. The fortuneteller is blindfolded and handed a knife with a wooden handle - let him cut the cake. If the knife touches the middle of the cake - in the coming year you can expect the birth or conception of a boy, the edge - the child will not appear soon and will be a girl, will sink on the tablecloth - it is useless to expect children in the coming years.

In Russia, in order to find out what the next year would bring, water was poured into a saucer or shallow bowl and carried out onto the porch for the whole Christmas night. In the morning they looked: the ice was reeling - the year will be good, the ice has frozen - the year will be calm, the ice has frozen in waves - there will be both grief and happiness; and if the water is frozen by the hole, the year will be bad.

But the easiest way to find out your future on Christmas Eve is to just go to bed early. Dreams these days are the most prophetic.

Christmas divination for the future husband

Christmas divination in the name of the husband on the bow

A week before the fortune-telling, you need to take several onions, write on each one by the name (initial) of the applicants for the groom and put them in jars of water. On Christmas night, with the words "Oh bow, onion, whisper, who will be the groom?" measure the seedlings. Where the feather is longer, such is the name of the future betrothed.

Christmas divination in the name of her husband with a gold ring

On the table we lay out pieces of paper with the names of applicants for the hand and heart. We pass the thread through the gold ring and over the pieces of paper. The one over which it fluttered the most bears the name of the betrothed.

Christmas divination "Hailing passers-by and passers-by"

Go outside at midnight and ask the name of the first person you meet. That is what your betrothed will be called. Also, by the appearance of a passerby, one can determine the beauty and wealth of the future husband.

Christmas divination "Comb"

You can find out who will be narrowed by seeing him in a prophetic dream. In order to have a prophetic dream, you need to comb your hair with a clean comb for the night, say: "Narrowed, dressed up, come to me dressed up" and put the comb under the pillow. In a dream, the future groom will comb his bride's hair.

Christmas divination "Bridge"

They make a bridge out of twigs and put it under the pillow, thinking: “Who is my betrothed, who is my mummer? Take me across the bridge. " Dreamed and will be the groom.

Christmas fortune telling "Peresol"

Eat something salty before going to bed. Going to bed, they say: "Who is my betrothed, who is my mummer, he will give me a drink." Sometimes they just take a thimble of water and a thimble of salt, mix and drink.

Christmas fortune telling on the character of the future spouse

We take three glasses of water. In one we put a teaspoon of honey, in the other - half a spoonful of salt, in the third - a quarter of a teaspoon of citric acid. Pour some wine into the fourth glass. Stir thoroughly, cover with a napkin and offer a choice of one for the future of which fortune-telling takes place. If honey comes across, the husband's character will be good, and life will be sweet; salt - to sadness and tears, acid - to a dull life, and wine - the husband will drink.

Christmas divination with a cat

The fortuneteller must pet the cat. If the cat purrs - be kind and affectionate to her husband. If he scratches, the spouse will be pugnacious. If he meows, the husband will be talkative and walking. If he runs away, there won't be a wedding in the near future.

Christmas divination "Log" or "tree"

In the dark they take one log from a woodpile without choice. Then he is examined and a conclusion is drawn about his future groom. A smooth log predicts a good, handsome groom, a log with rough bark - ugly, in thick and good bark - rich.

A log, peeled in places or without bark at all, predicts a poor groom, a thick log - strong, with knots - a large family (the number of branches indicates the number of people in the family), crooked - the groom will be elderly or with some kind of physical disabilities.

If the log was not at hand, then any tree in the park, square or forest can replace it. To do this, you need to blindfold, ask someone you know to "spin" you, like in a "cat and mouse" game, and only after that - go in search of the "oracle". All the characteristics that were given to the log will also be true for the tree.

Christmas divination "Ring, bread and hook"

Putting a ring, a hook and a piece of bread on the floor, cover these three objects with a handkerchief, from under which they then take out who gets what. If the ring is taken out, then the groom will be a dandy, if the bread is a rich man, and if the hook is a poor man, because the poor man always hunches from labor and bends in front of everyone.

Christmas divination for the wedding

Christmas hair divination

Add a little ash, sugar and salt to a bowl of water, mix and throw two hairs into it: your own and your loved one. Observe in the morning: if the hair came together - for the wedding, parted - for separation.

Christmas divination for a future marriage

Two or more people must participate in fortune telling. We put four cups on the table and put a piece of bread in one of them, a burnt match or paper in the other, and a gold ring in the third. Leave the fourth cup empty. We cover each glass with a napkin so that it is not visible what is inside. One girl randomly mixes the cups, while the other first turns away and then chooses one of them.

A ring came across - a happy marriage for love, a match - to live in poverty, a piece of bread - a marriage of convenience, an empty glass - unknown, you are not yet familiar with your betrothed.

Christmas divination "Throwing a shoe"

The girls take off the shoe from their left foot and throw it outside the gate, while observing where the shoe lies with its toe - in that direction and the throwing one will be married. If the shoe looks into the gate from which it was thrown out, then the girl will stay at home this year and will not get married.

Christmas divination by barking dogs

They go out into the street and think: “Bark, bark, little dog. Win, gray top. " Where the noise will come from, you will go in that direction and get married. If the noise is heard not far from the house, then it means to be married not far, if it is quiet and barely audible, then to be married far away.

Christmas Bread Divination

Girls especially love to read bread figures. After dinner, each girl sculpts from the remains of her piece of bread an image or a figure that she wants. After that, the figures are laid out outside the threshold of the room.

Then they call some dog and let her go to the figures: whose first she grabs, the one to marry. It happens that the dog, having sniffed at the figures, does not touch any of them and goes away. This is a bad omen - everyone should be girls.

Some girls bake small loaves of wheat flour. They should be pretty crispy. The girls themselves take them out of the oven and hide them. In the evening, everyone gathers in one room and puts bread on the threshold in one row. Then they call the dog - whose bread she grabs earlier, that sooner get married. The girl whose bread the dog sniffs will have many suitors, but all are picky.

Christmas fortune telling with burning a thread for speed and the order of getting married

It consists in the fact that the girls cut the threads of the same length and set them on fire. Whoever's thread burns out faster, she will be the first to marry. If the thread went out immediately or less than half burned out, then you will not get married until you get married.

Christmas fortune telling

Two matches are inserted on the sides of the matchbox and set on fire. If the burned-out heads are facing each other, then the "hidden" guy and girl will be together.

Christmas ritual for love

This is a fortune-telling for lonely people who are eager to meet true love. At midnight you need to go to the nearest church and walk around it 12 times. It is believed that this ritual destroys loneliness and promotes the emergence of new love.

Christmas fortune telling for future children

Christmas fortune telling for future children using a needle

We take a needle with a thread, hold it by the end of the thread above the left hand so that the needle looks into the palm. If the needle begins to swing across the palm, a girl will be born, if along, then a boy. Repeat until the needle stops swinging. How many successful attempts - so many children.

Christmas divination "Ring in the water"

A few hours before bedtime, water is poured into a glass, a ring is lowered there and exposed to frost. When they go to bed, they bring a glass and look into it. Frozen water without bumps means a childless life; how many tubercles there will be, there will be as many sons, and as many pits, there will be as many daughters.

Christmas fortune telling

Christmas fortune telling

Write your wishes on small pieces of paper and place them under your pillow before bed. In the morning, the leaf that goes into your hands first and contains the desire that will be fulfilled first.

Christmas grain divination

We take a handful of grains (any grain is suitable, from millet to coffee, but the latter is more convenient, since the grains are large and do not roll) in our left hand, squeeze our palm and ask the question of interest aloud. After that we count the grains. If there are odd numbers, the answer is yes. If even, negative.

Christmas divination by the Holy Book

They take some book, mainly of spiritual content, and, without opening it, ask themselves the page number and the line at the top or bottom at random. Then they open this page and read. What is subtracted from a specific page and line serves as the answer to the intended question. If the answer is not straightforward, then it is interpreted.

Christmas fortune telling "Pebbles"

Fill a wide bowl with water and whisper your wish out loud while throwing a small pebble into the water at the same time. Count the circles on the water - if the number is even, the answer to your question is yes.

Christmas divination "Cat's paw"

If you have a cat, she can give a simple answer: "yes" or "no". Make a wish and call your pet. If the right front paw appears first from behind the door, then the answer to the question is "yes", if the left one is "no".

Christmas fortune telling about what the next year will be

Christmas shoe divination

Several people can participate in fortune telling. You need to put keys, a glass, a pen, scissors, bread, a ring in your shoes, we leave one shoe empty. Each fortuneteller takes an object out of his shoes and learns from it what to expect next year:

* keys - to a new home;

* a glass - for joy and feasts;

* a pen - for hard work;

* scissors - for a difficult year;

* bread - to satiety and prosperity;

* ring - to soon marriage;

* empty shoes - the future is not yet determined.

During Christmas and Christmas fortune-telling, in all predictions, you need to look for only good meaning. Bad omens should not be given too much importance, otherwise you will set yourself up in advance for failure in the new year.
