And when else to wonder if not during the Christmas season, it lasts from Christmas to Epiphany. From January 7 to January 19 is Christmas time. Let's take a closer look at what they are like, these fortune telling for Christmas time.

And it all starts on Christmas night! She is magical, fabulous and so makes you believe in miracles, even the most non-believers, somewhere deep down in their souls, believe in miracles.

Why do people tell fortunes specifically on Christmas time? There is a belief that these numbers bring the world of reality and the world of spirits into contact. Therefore, you can look into the future and find out about your destiny.

That’s how we are built, we want to look into the future, to find out about our destiny. This is especially interesting for young people, they really want to know what kind of betrothed he will be. I would like to look at least a little into the future.

I want to warn you that Christmas fortune-telling is a very serious matter and requires compliance with certain rules.

You shouldn't guess at home, it's better to do it in non-residential premises(bathhouse, barn, attic), if fortune telling is associated with mirrors, animals and cards.

If you are going to guess, remove the cross, rings and let your hair down (if it is long).

Suddenly a situation arises when you feel scared (knocks, blurts somewhere), just say, “Keep me out, mind me.” These simple words help, even protect. That's what old people say.

Ways to tell fortunes at Christmas time

My dear readers, nevertheless, I would not advise you to guess on mirrors. This fortune telling is best done under the guidance of a fortune telling specialist. And for yourself, you can choose simpler and harmless methods.

Prophetic dream

The very first and most pleasant way to find out your future is through sleep. Dreams during this festive season can be prophetic and through a dream you can learn a lot: who will be your betrothed, what events await you, how life will make you happy or sad.

In the evening, take a lock, a bag and your favorite dress, put the dress in the bag and lock the bag with the lock, and put the key under the pillow. When you go to bed, say: “Come, my betrothed, for the key, unlock my dress.”

Before going to bed, pour water into a glass and place it next to it on the table, say: “Come, my betrothed, give me some water.” Whoever comes in a dream will be your soul mate.

You can make a dream based on the day of the week:

Say these words before going to bed. My grandmother taught me this.

  • Tuesday - “from Monday to Tuesday, I look at the windowsill, with whom to live forever, come spend the night.”
  • Wednesday - “Wednesday, Wednesday, dream of bread or water, bread is good, water is bad.”
  • Thursday - “Thursday, Thursday, buy - sell, find - lose. If I find it, it’s good; if I lose it, it’s bad.”
  • Friday - “Friday, Friday, whoever loves, let him dream.”

In the morning, wake up and analyze your dream, it’s even very interesting, sometimes you dream about it, but in fact it actually comes true.

Fortune telling with shoes for the betrothed

And this ritual with shoes is very simple. Take a boot, felt boot or slipper, go out onto the road in the evening and throw it over your left shoulder onto the road.

Wherever the shoe points its nose, that’s where you’ll expect the groom. If the shoes are pointed towards the house, do not get married this year.

Fortune telling on a gold chain

There is a beautiful fortune telling on a gold chain, you need to tell fortunes before midnight. Take off the chain, pick it up and warm it up. Shake it in your hands and throw it sharply on the floor. The whole fortune telling is how the chain will fall. What figure the chain forms will be your prediction.

  • A straight line means success and luck in life.
  • A circle means a closed situation, a difficult situation.
  • The triangle is great luck in all matters and in love.
  • Confused - illness and difficult financial situation.
  • Heart - you are loved and love will bring you a happy life.
  • Snake - expect betrayal, beware of slander and gossip.

The most favorite fortune telling, this is fortune telling on wax. The girls gather in the evening, stock up on candles and vying to guess the meaning of the melted figures.

For this fortune telling you need candles, preferably wax ones, and a dish of water. We light a candle, and as soon as the wax begins to melt, we take the candle in our hand and move it over a dish of water. The movements should be circular. The wax drips and figures are created in the water. Half a minute is enough to get a figure.

We take the figure out of the water and consider what it reminds you of and what it is associated with. Let your imagination run wild. Associations must arise randomly. What you see is what awaits you this year.

You can also look at the shadow of a wax figure on the wall, turning it, the shadow can tell a lot...

You can look up the hint on the Internet, type in a search engine “the meaning of wax figures” and get a full explanation.

Note: after you have taken the figure out of the water, and there are a lot of wax droplets left in the dish, this means a good financial situation, money. And if you haven’t formed a single large figure, but only droplets, then nothing significant will happen this year.

There are many methods of fortune telling, I told you only about the most popular ones, which I myself once used.

In general, women have been fortune-telling since time immemorial for the entire period, starting from January 6 and up to the nineteenth, but the most reliable fortune-telling has always been considered the rituals performed precisely on the eve of Christmas and Epiphany.

Ways Christmas fortune telling a great variety, some have come to us since the time of our ancestors, others have appeared recently. Meanwhile, there are certain rules for conducting such Christmas rituals:

1. Fortune telling should be carried out only in the evening (night) time of day and, better, after midnight.

7. Before the Christmas ritual, you need to take off your belt, if you have one, as well as unbutton all the buttons on your clothes and untie all the knots.

And now some of the most famous, most interesting and most accurate fortune telling for Christmas time.

The easiest way to get an answer to the question “What awaits me in the future?”, people say, is to conduct Christmas fortune-telling. It is at this time that such rituals, as practice shows, are the most reliable.

How to correctly predict the future? Taking into account the rules for Christmas rituals described above, women (girls) can perform the following rituals.

Fortune telling for Christmas using cups

To tell fortunes with cups, you should, firstly, take as many cutlery as there are people gathered at the table (if one girl is telling fortunes, then there should be seven cups).

Secondly, you need to place one item in each cup:

  • bread;
  • salt;
  • coin;
  • ring;
  • sugar;
  • water.

Now the ritual itself begins. The fortuneteller must, closing his eyes and mixing the cups on the table, choose one for himself cutlery, the contents of which will indicate the future. You come across bread - it means you will live in complete prosperity, salt speaks of the misfortunes that will await you next year, onions - women's tears, a coin - a rich groom or a prestigious job, a ring - wait for marriage, sugar - sweet, cheerful, interesting life, water - the flow of life in the same direction.

To carry out such a ritual, you need to melt the wax and then, saying the following words “Dovoy, brownie, I’m waiting for you to drink milk and taste the wax,” pour this wax into warm, but not hot milk, poured into a plate. After such a ritual, the plate is placed on the threshold of the house (apartment) and the fortuneteller watches what is happening.

— If the wax has frozen in the form of a flower, the girl will soon get married.
- Formed in milk wax figure some kind of beast - wait for the appearance of an enemy, an enemy.
- If you see a cross on the milk, it will speak of serious troubles or even the death of loved ones.
- Drawing in the form of a star - to increase in career ladder or good academic achievements.
- Simple stripes will indicate frequent crossings, permanent roads.
— A figurine in the shape of a man means new acquaintances and friends.

Before performing the ritual, a woman must take any book from her collection (it is possible to use both classical, scientific and other literature, as well as church books). Next, the fortuneteller thinks of two numbers. The first number is the page number of the selected book, and the second is a line that will talk about the beauty’s future. Read the prediction and try to interpret it, connecting it with your life.

Fortune telling on a gold chain

Exactly at midnight take gold chain, which you wear around your neck or arm, hold it between your palms and rub until jewel won't get warm. The entire time you are rubbing gold, think (say) one thing to yourself: “What awaits me in the future?” Next, transfer the product to your right hand and sharply throw it on the table. Some kind of figure should form on the table, it will tell you what to expect from the coming year.

- If you see a flat line, this means that good luck and luck will accompany you in all matters.

— If a circle or oval has formed on the table, you should expect difficulties; a situation may arise from which it will be very difficult to get out.

- Knots that appear on the chain indicate financial losses and poor health, the more such nodules, the worse the situation will be.

- The resulting triangle will judge luck and love.

— Cloud - all dreams will come true.

- You looked at the snake from the chain on the table, then expect traitors and ill-wishers to appear in your life, and they may turn out to be the people closest to you.

- Golden bow - wait for a proposal from your betrothed and an imminent wedding.

— When a heart is made from a chain on the table, it will promise a woman pure great love and happiness.

Every girl dreams of finding a handsome, kind and faithful prince, the man of her dreams who can make her truly happy. But it is possible to see your betrothed in advance using the same divination.

How to find out the name of your future husband

On the night before Christmas or Epiphany, cut a sheet of paper into strips of equal width and length, write one man's name on each. There should be at least 25 pieces of paper. Roll each strip into a roller or simply fold it several times, and then place it in a bag and mix. Place it all under your pillow, and when you wake up, take one piece of paper out of the bag. The name that will be indicated on it will be the name of your husband.

Who will get married first (fortune telling for unmarried friends)

During Christmas time, women take an onion for themselves, plant it in the ground, in the spring, they look at the result. Whose onion sprouted first and put out big feathers will be the first to get married.

Those who wish to see their betrothed in advance should turn off the lights in the room at midnight on Christmastide, light several candles, but only in pairs, and, positioned between two mirrors, create a corridor of arches. From the last arch of such a corridor, after looking for a long time without blinking, the figure of the betrothed should appear.

Fortune telling with a ring

To carry out such a ritual, the girl should take a gold ring, it is better if it is her own, and prepare a glass filled with cold water. On Christmas night you need to quit right hand put a ring in a glass and watch it carefully, looking at the swaying water. After 2-3 minutes, an image should appear in the water in which the woman can see the future groom.

Where to wait for the groom

Through such fortune-telling, you can determine which side a woman should wait for matchmakers. What should be done. First, take off your boot (any shoe that belongs to the girl), go outside at midnight on Christmastide and throw the shoes over the fence (through the gate). Next, the lady needs to look in which direction the tip of the fallen shoe will point, it is on that side that her groom will be.

In conclusion, a few more of the most interesting, in my opinion, Christmas rituals for unmarried ladies.

Fortune telling on your child's gender

An engagement ring or any other ring belonging to the fair sex will help a woman find out the gender of her baby. On Christmas time, it should be removed and hung on its own hair, then put water in any container, for example, a glass or cup, and hold the ring over this container. If the jewelry makes pendulum-like movements, then you should expect a boy, if you observe the movement of the ring in a circle, wait for a girl.

By folk beliefs If the ring stops above the water, this indicates childlessness.

Fortune telling with an egg

Should take fresh egg, using a knife, punch a small hole in it, pour it into a glass or cup (bowl) of water. Next you need to watch the protein. If domes or churches are formed from protein in the water, there will be a wedding. If you see a ring - expect marriage, a ship or other transport - roads, long business trips, a square (cube) - for burial.

If egg white drowned in a glass of water - expect a fire.

Fortune telling with needles for marriage

To find out if she will get married or not in the near future, a woman needs to take 2 needles on Christmas Day, rub them with fresh lard and put them in a glass of water. If the needles come together in the water, this means marriage; if they go apart, there will be no marriage in the near future or at all.

On a note! When the needles rubbed with lard have sunk, expect serious troubles, whiteness or illness.

And finally, I would like to say, dear girls, women who want to know their destiny, their future, to see their betrothed, when fortune telling at Christmas time, believe in the good, in the positive and it will certainly be so. Having received a negative result, do not panic, do not get upset in advance, do not prepare yourself for the bad, remember, this is just fortune telling and a bad prediction, only a warning for you, a parting word to be more careful in certain situations.

I wish that in the New Year all your wishes come true, your dreams come true, and as for fortune telling, remember, all this is interesting and fun, but each of us, and not a fortune teller, is the smith of our own happiness.

Good luck and all the best!

3. Take several glasses or small containers of the same size. Put a ring in one, bread in the second, a coin in the third, salt in the fourth, sugar in the fifth. Close your eyes and move the containers around, then pick one at random. Sugar promises a cheerful and carefree life, a coin - financial stability, bread indicates that your house will be a full cup, salt - to tears, and a ring - to a quick marriage.

5. Draw a circle on a piece of paper and divide it into several parts. Write any questions you have on it. Read them out loud and hold the pendulum to the paper. If it sways from side to side, then the answer to the question will be negative. Circling in a circle or moving back and forth promises a positive response. Ask questions so that the answer is clear.

The most interesting thing is that Christmas fortune-telling does not require any additional preparation. Of course, you need to know how to guess, and then everything should go like clockwork. How to conduct Christmas fortune-telling for your betrothed?

In this article, we have collected those Christmas fortune-telling about the betrothed for girls and for the future, which, in our opinion, have stood the test of time and proven their worth. To make sure of this, you need to select several fortune-telling and begin performing rituals. Christmas time is long and perhaps you will have time to try each of the following.

Listen to the sounds

On the night before Christmas or any night during the Christmas season, you need to wash your hair and comb it well, wash yourself with cold water and stand by the window. During the ritual, silence must be maintained. Now you should listen to the sounds that come first from the street. If this is a conversation between cheerful, tipsy people, then the new year will be fun too. If the conversation is dark and sad, then that's what the year will be like. If a car passes on the road, you should expect a lot of travel. If silence remains for a certain amount of time, then the new year will not bring any special changes in life.

Wax figures

To carry out this fortune telling, you need to prepare not only everything necessary materials, but also to train your imagination. Take a saucer of water and a candle. The candle must be made of wax. You need to light it and let it burn a little. Now pour the wax into the water in the saucer and decipher what kind of figure you get. If it is a wreath, it speaks of an imminent marriage. The coffin indicates death, the snake indicates illness. The swan symbolizes good event, the mill indicates that there will be a lot of gossip about the person. The crown is a sign of success, and the silhouette of a horseshoe may also appear, this, of course, is exceptional luck.




Choosing your destiny

This fortune telling requires girls to have such items as a glass, scissors and a coin, a paper bill, an onion, a ring, cereal (or a piece of bread). You need to lay out the things on the table, and blindfold the girl and spin her around. Now bring the girl to the table, where she must pull out one of the objects. If it is a glass, then you should wait for the drinking husband. Scissors indicate frequent purchases, a coin indicates poor life, but paper money symbolizes a rich life. The onion speaks of tears, and the ring, of course, speaks of imminent marriage. Bread or cereal is a symbol of a prosperous, well-fed life.

Fortune telling by shadow

To carry out this fortune-telling, you will also need to show a little imagination, but you can perform the ritual together with your girlfriends. Take a blank sheet of paper and three candles. You need to crumple the paper in your hands and mentally think about your future. Place the leaf on a plate and light it with one of the candles. Now bring it to the wall and in the shadow of other candles, make a shadow appear on the wall. Using this shadow, you, as well as your girlfriends, are able to predict the future. What will it be connected with, will it only be with the betrothed or will other events await you in the coming year? By the way, it should definitely be on the Christmas table.

With map

For this Christmas fortune-telling for your betrothed on cards, you will only need the King of Diamonds. Before going to bed, you need to put this card under your pillow and ask the king to show you the image of your betrothed. At night you will definitely have a dream, but it is not at all necessary that you will definitely see your betrothed in it. One thing is clear - everything that you dream about this night is shown by the king of diamonds. This means that this is not a dream, but a future that will definitely come true. Such Christmas fortune-telling for your betrothed before bed can be done at least every night during the Christmastide period. Christmas time lasts from January 8 to January 18. As for Christmas night itself, there is no point in guessing on it.




Through the Looking Glass

You can try to see the image of your betrothed in the mirror. Fortune telling is difficult both in terms of the ritual itself and because you will have to guess alone. You will need to take twelve candles and three mirrors. Mirrors must be selected so that each one is at least a little larger than the previous one. Small mirror set opposite the middle one, and the large one behind the small one. Place six candles on each side of the mirrors. Now you need to sit down and peer into the tunnel that the mirrors form.

Over time, the image of your betrothed may appear in the tunnel. But you can’t peer at it for a long time; you must immediately say “Forget me!” If you don’t say this phrase in time, your betrothed may get lost in the mirrors forever, and you will never meet.

Patterns

You need to take a mirror and pour water on it. Exactly at midnight on one of the nights when you can tell fortunes, the mirror must be taken out into the cold. When it freezes, patterns will appear on it. Now you can bring the mirror into the house and begin to unravel the mysteries of your future. If the circles are clearly visible, then the person will live in abundance. If spruce branches appear, this indicates large quantities work, squares promise difficulties in life, triangle - good sign, which indicates good luck on all fronts.




The attitude of the church towards fortune telling

So, from this material it should become clear not only how to carry out various rituals in order to see your betrothed at least for a few seconds before life’s deadline, but also when exactly to carry them out. In particular, throughout the year it is best for fortune-telling, as they believed in Rus' and it is still believed that the Christmastide period is suitable.

But Christmastide is a short name for an important church period of the year, which comes from Christmastide (holidays). It turns out that it is as if the church has determined the days that are ideal for fortune telling. In reality, this is, of course, not the case. Because, to various kinds The church, of course, has a negative attitude towards fortune telling and other rituals related, either directly or indirectly, to otherworldly powers. But how did it happen then that best time For fortune telling in Rus', was the period from Christmas Eve from January 6 to Epiphany Eve on January 18 considered? It's all about the historical heritage that we have inherited since pagan times.



We must not forget that people in Rus' actively lived and observed various traditions and rituals even before Christianity was adopted in our native lands. That is, at the baptism of Rus' there were their own customs and traditions, peculiarities and rituals. Then, when the transition to Christianity occurred, it was difficult to make people forget the traditions of their ancestors overnight. And it so happened that life put everything in its place: church calendar in many ways it turned out to be similar to the pagan calendar; moreover, some pagan traditions and rituals gradually migrated to Orthodox tradition. A striking example Here is, for example, Maslenitsa. But the Christmastide period is no exception here either.

Important! A believer must remember that the church does not support fortune telling even on Christmastide and considers it a sin. If you really can’t stop your curiosity and want to take at least one look at your betrothed, then after the ritual you must definitely go to confession and repent of this sin.

Believe it or not?

In conclusion, I would like to say a few words about whether it is worth sacredly believing in what fate predicted for the future during the Christmastide period. Yes, many sources will write that these fortune-telling are true. But we should not forget that even the most powerful psychics say that there is no one linear fate and every day a person, through his actions, influences what will happen to him in the future. If you want to influence your life from a positive point of view, then cultivate positive thinking and faith in all good things, and try to leave negativity outside of your life. The same applies to various predictions.

Of course, negative predictions always touch a nerve and many impressionable people then cannot sleep if
In fortune-telling, their candle sank. That’s it, the girl thinks, I’ll definitely never get married again. But, if this actually happens, then this is not because of fortune-telling, but precisely because such negative thoughts are constantly running around in your head, which ultimately program the reality that surrounds you. Therefore, take away from the Christmas fortune telling all the good things that the spirits predicted for you, and leave all the bad things in the night of fortune telling and never remember it again.

By the way, it is also important to remind you that spirits have a sense of humor and mood, so they are not always able to
to tell the truth. Particular emphasis should also be placed on this when conducting any fortune-telling during Christmas time, including for the betrothed-mummer.

Everything is just part of the entertainment that our ancestors spent during the fun Christmas season. Of course, in every fortune-telling there is a grain of truth, but there is also a grain of fiction. If fate threatens you unpleasant events, don't be upset. That's what a person is given a head for, to fix everything. If you have been warned, then it’s better to do it twice, because now you know exactly which direction you can start working on now.
