Fortune telling on a wish for Christmas time. Christmas divination: methods and types

According to the new style, Christmas Eve begins - Christmas time. Christmas time is divided into holy evenings (from January 7 to the 13th) and terrible evenings (from January 14 to the 19th). It was believed that at this time the forces of evil and good come to earth to fight for the souls of people.

Apparently, therefore, these two weeks are so full of magical rituals and ceremonies, the purpose of which was to protect against unclean forces for the year ahead, to attract prosperity to families: health, marriage of daughters, the birth of a child, good harvests, and so on.

Every day Christmas time has always been surrounded by signs and signs. They paid special attention to. It is believed that on the night of Christmas, as well as on Epiphany, you can see a prophetic dream, especially if the moon is growing.

And yet, the favorite pastime at Christmas time at all times was Christmas fortune-telling.

They say that during Christmas time they come down to earth to see their relatives. But behind them, all kinds of evil spirits rush into the open portal between the worlds, which must be driven away and from which it is necessary to protect themselves. The Christmas period is considered the time "without the cross."

According to legend, God, overjoyed that his son was born, having unlocked all the gates, released the devils for a walk. Perhaps that is why Christmas time is considered the best time for fortune-telling, because the evil spirits walking around the Earth at this time can not only harm a person, but also tell him the future. To avoid trouble, one should guess according to all the rules.

Divination rules

The Church warns: Christmas divination is a dangerous occupation. But how to avoid temptation? After all, when the gates between the worlds are open, higher powers give the most accurate answers to questions about fate.

Experts advise, before starting to guess, to think: do you need it, and how are you ready to pay for the information received.

Those wishing to tell fortunes should also know that fortune telling is a strictly individual occupation. With collective fortune-telling, energy mixes occur. To see only your own destiny, you should remain alone with yourself, so as not to mix your future with the future of other people.

In addition, you should not guess out of simple curiosity and in the presence of children. It should be remembered that during fortune-telling you call on the most unclean and ask about your fate.

For divination, you need to prepare accordingly: loosen your hair, untie the knots on your clothes, remove all jewelry, a belt and a pectoral cross. The scythe, belt and cross protect against direct contact with evil spirits, but without this contact, divination is impossible.

If a candle falls during divination, you cannot continue the action.

Unmarried girls at Christmas time should be especially careful: under the guise of a handsome guy, a terrible werewolf may appear to them.

In the old days, when fortunetelling, if the girls were scared, the grandmother sat, who could guide them so that nothing bad would happen. The help of a knowledgeable person in such situations is vital: dark forces can inflict irreparable damage to an inexperienced fortune teller.

It is very important to thoroughly observe the ritual of divination, because it includes and.

In the old days, serious fortune-telling (for the future, for grooms associated with water, rings) was carried out in non-residential premises, sheds or baths. This is one of the important precautions in case, after fortune-telling, evil spirits do not want to leave.

If water is used for divination, then it should be poured out at the end. Get out of the house, move away and pour in a place where people do not go.

A word of caution from an experienced astrologer:

On January 10 and 11 (28 and 29 lunar days), 2013, it is better to exclude fortune telling. These days there is a karmic retribution for everything we have accumulated, and it is better not to touch them, especially monitoring the purity of our thoughts and actions. And the growing moon begins on January 12.

Here we must understand this: there are no bad lunar days! But it is precisely on these days that tests and checks of the karmic level can surface for any of us, i.e. those that do not lie on the surface of our understanding (although retribution on these lunar days can also be in the form of a reward for a worthy life).

Human energy on such days is weakened. Divination can damage the energy field up to the introduction of entities.

The same applies to the 1st lunar day, when the body is clean and ready for new plans for the month (in any case, it should be clean after realizing the situations on the 28th and 29th lunar day). 1 lunar day will last from 23:45 on January 11th to 8:34 am on January 12th Moscow time.

Divination with. At night, sit in front of a mirror, place and light two candles along its edges. In complete silence, without blinking, peer into the mirror, trying to see the face of the betrothed. At a certain moment, the mirror becomes cloudy, if you don’t blink and get scared, you can see the male face.

Divination on paper. Take paper, you can use an A4 sheet or a notebook insert.

We crush into a fairly dense lump. We put it on a straight surface (iron board, flat plate) and set it on fire, mentally asking the question we want to get an answer to. It is important to correctly and accurately formulate the question that worries you: I will get married, I will give birth to a child, will I have money, and so on.

When the paper burns out, we bring it to the wall and turning the plate, we interpret the received prediction by the shadow falling on the wall.

Divination for sleep.Any dream that occurred at Christmas time is considered prophetic. But many people want to know for sure that fate has opened up to them, so they are guessing for the future. The most popular fortune-telling for a betrothed. If a girl is to be married this year, then the betrothed is. If you didn’t dream, then you’ll have to sit in the girls.

They guess on any night of the Christmas week, but the most correct fortune-telling is on the eve of Christmas and Epiphany. When going to bed on these nights, say: “Lord Jesus Christ, three saints are in the hut: one sees, the other will say, the third will show fate.”

Drink water. Before going to bed, prepare and place a glass and a jug of water by the bed. Think after this: "The betrothed-mummer, you will get tired from the road, I have some water, come, betrothed, I will give you a drink."

Incense divination. For this divination, you need to retire. At midnight on Epiphany or at Christmas, close the curtains tightly, cover the table with a clean tablecloth, put two cutlery, light a candle. Place a piece of incense on each plate.

Sit down at the table in front of one of the appliances. While reading the plot, take incense alternately from both plates and bring it to the candle flame. When you finish reading the plot, throw one piece on the table, and put the second under your pillow. You can go to bed: the dream will turn out to be prophetic, you will see what you were thinking about.

Conspiracy: “The incense in the church gets along, At home they rule. Frankincense, incense, it would be good for you to tell fortunes, to know the whole truth. Like you, incense-father, Pure, holy and honest, So be my dream true. Amen".

Divination Salty. Before going to bed, indulge yourself with salty soul: herring or something else, do not drink it, and think: “Betrothed, mummers, come get me drunk.” Your betrothed will dream in a dream, and water, of course, too.

Fortune telling on the betrothed with a comb. Comb before going to bed and leave your hair on the comb, putting it under the pillow, say: "Narrowed-mummer, come scratch your braid."

"Well". Make a well of eight or four matches on the bed, put a thimble filled with water in it, put yours on top so that the well is under it. Think: "Narrowed-mummer, come to water the horse."

Stocking. Put on a stocking on your leg and say a conspiracy: "Narrowed-mummer, come take off your stocking."

One young lady put on a stocking like that, and guessed it. Her night so that she fell out of bed and with fright - to roar! Her father also gave her a beating so that she would not hang out with the unclean, did not sin.

"Views of the Bride". Place the mirror under your pillow and say: “Betrothed-mummer, come see me and show yourself.”

Divination with a cockroach. It is necessary to catch a cockroach and put it in a matchbox, make a wish: “Cockroach, cockroach! You go everywhere, you know everything, bring me to my betrothed in the family. It is possible that in a dream you will see a room or a house - this is the home of your betrothed. You can see in a dream and members of his family.

The young girl dreamed that the cockroach went along the highway, that she could barely keep up with him. He brought her to the neighboring village to the house of a widower, and not to a sweetheart guy. She did not attach any importance to the dream, and in the autumn the same widower wooed her. That's it, you can't run away from fate!

And the other dreamed that the cockroach said: “How can I bring you to the betrothed if you pinched my paw with a box?”. In the morning he looks, and in the box there is a dead cockroach with a pinched paw.

Bread. From the holiday feasts leave a crust of bread that you haven’t eaten, put it under your pillow at night, uttering a conspiracy: “Betrothed, mummers, come to supper.”

These are fortune tellings that have come down to us from time immemorial. It is difficult to perceive many without a smile :).

Are the predictions received during Christmas divination correct? According to knowledgeable people, basically these predictions come true. Nevertheless, to hobnob with evil spirits and look into the future according to Christian canons is considered a great sin. After divination, it was customary to go to church to repent and atone for this sin.

It is believed that it is during the days of Christmas time that you can find out if you will get married next year, who will be betrothed, whether luck will accompany the whole year. Of course, the night of the old New Year is the best time to find out your future. But if you didn’t manage to tell fortunes at the right time, don’t worry - Christmas Christmas time will continue until Epiphany Eve, and you can perform the sacrament until January 18.

For fortune-telling to be successful, a number of important rules must be observed. Before the ritual, you need to loosen your hair and untie the knots on your clothes. It is necessary to remove the belt, bracelets, chains, rings - all these are amulets that close our energy and prevent it from uniting with the energy of spirits. During divination, it is better not to cross your arms and legs. You can tell fortunes alone or in the company of friends, but in the room where the ritual takes place, it should be as quiet as possible. The mood and the right way to look into the future are important. The best time to perform the holy sacraments is midnight or hours before sunrise.

The groom should come up from behind and his reflection should appear in the mirror.

Divination with water

Christmas time two weeks of winter holidays are called, from Christmas Eve, which falls on January 6, to Epiphany, celebrated on January 19. Fortune telling at Christmas is considered to be the most truthful. The roots of Christmas divination go back to the times of pagan Russia. It was fortune-telling during the winter solstice (and this is the period of Christmas time) that was given special importance in pagan times. It was believed that it was on these days that otherworldly forces were most active, and the boundaries between the worlds were thinner, which contributed to a more truthful result of New Year's, Christmas and Christmas fortune-telling.

With the advent of Christianity in Russia, Christmas fortune-telling not only survived, but also acquired a more mystical meaning, and although the church tried to fight superstition and fortune-telling, they were carefully passed down from generation to generation, and have come down to our days in a slightly altered form.

Having decided to tell fortunes for Christmas, remember that the result of fortune-telling may not meet your expectations, so is it worth spoiling your holidays ...

There were a lot of ways of Christmas fortune-telling in Russia, but the main theme of all Christmas fortune-telling is fortune-telling for the betrothed (groom). This is understandable, because in ancient times, the fate of a girl depended entirely on how successfully she would marry.

Fortune telling (with felt boots) on the "side" in which you will marry

This is the most famous and widespread type of divination. The girls alternately throw the felt boots over their backs onto the road and, in the direction of the toe of the fallen felt boots, recognize the direction in which they will get married.

Divination with mirrors

This fortune-telling is well known from literature and is now popular with brave girls.

Mirrors in the old days were attributed magical properties. The custom of closing mirrors if there is a dead person in the house also reflects this attitude of our ancestors to the magic of mirrors.

Divination is carried out in an empty and quiet room. There should be no one and no sound. The fortune-telling girl should let her hair down and fully concentrate. She should sit in the dark near two opposite mirrors. The picture of Novikov shows this position of the girl. At midnight, the girl lights two candles, placed on the sides of the mirrors, and says: "My betrothed, mummer, show me" and begins to peer into the gallery of reflections, hoping to see her fiancé. You can sit in front of mirrors for a long time, or you can see your betrothed right away.

Divination in a new house

You can guess only in the house where you spend the night for the first time. Only then is the divination considered correct. Before going to bed, you should cross yourself three times and go to bed with the words: "I'm sleeping in a new place, dream of the bridegroom." The man you dream of will be your fiancé.

Fortune telling on straw

Guessing on straw is most interesting when there are many people present. Exactly at midnight, gather in one room, light a candle and start guessing. To find out the name of your betrothed, put straw on the table, knocked down in a lump, put a frying pan on this lump, put a stone in the frying pan and pour some water. Then each of the girls should slowly pull out a straw, and the name of the betrothed should be heard from the sounds made by the stone when it vibrates in the pan. During fortune-telling, there should be absolute silence in the room.

Fortune telling (with burning the thread) on the speed and order of getting married

A simple and visual fortune-telling, which is popular in our time. It lies in the fact that the girls cut the threads of the same length (it is better to take thicker threads) and set them on fire at the same time. The threads must be held at one end, the other - lowered down and must be set on fire. Whoever burns out the thread ahead will be the first to be married. The sequence of burning threads in the hands of girls will show the order of their marriage. If someone's thread went out immediately or the thread burned out by less than half, then this girl will not marry.

Fortune telling (with a ring or a needle) on the gender of the unborn child

Certain actions are performed with a ring or a needle: the ring is lowered into a glass of water, a woolen cloth is pierced with a needle, then, suspended on a hair or thread, they are slowly lowered near the hand of the one they are guessing at. If the object (ring, needle) begins to make circular movements, a girl will be born (less often - a boy), if pendulum-shaped - a boy (less often - a girl), if the object does not move, there will be no children.

Divination (with the choice of subject) on the "quality" of life

Objects are hidden in a bag, cup or felt boot, then the girls choose their felt boot or bag. The choice of an object symbolizes life in the coming year: ash - a bad life, sugar - a sweet life, a ring - getting married, an onion - to tears, a glass - drunkenness, a golden ring - a rich life, etc., you can invent and refine fortune telling with your own options .

Fortune telling with a rooster for a betrothed

Several plates or bowls are taken, grain is poured into one plate (or money is put), water is poured into another, a mirror is placed next to it, sometimes a chicken is brought. A rooster approaching a mirror symbolizes the beauty and tenderness of the future groom, approaching grain or money - his wealth, water - a tendency to drunkenness, if a rooster approaches a chicken, then the groom will be a "womanizer".

Divination with matches

Two matches are inserted on the sides of the matchbox and set on fire. If the burnt heads are facing each other, then the "conceived" guy and girl will be together. If the match heads look in different directions or fall off, then no.

Fortune telling (by barking dogs) about the age of the groom

At midnight, take a knife, go out into the street, go up to the snowdrift and start cutting the snow with a knife, saying: "Damn, damn, don't be silent, damn, damn, tell me what kind of husband will I get, will I have to laugh or cry?"

After saying the words of the spell, shut up and listen carefully to the barking of dogs.

• If an angry, sharp bark is heard, it means that the future husband will be strict and gloomy;
• hoarse barking promises an old groom;
• shrill barking - the groom will have a bad temper;
• sonorous barking - young;
• if the dogs bark cheerfully and loudly, then the husband will also be cheerful and kind;
• it is very bad if a dog howl is heard during fortune-telling. This suggests that the marriage will be short-lived and very quickly the young wife will become a widow.

Fortune telling "Well"

To conduct this divination, you need a well. If a girl lives in a village and has a well with a lockable roof, then this is ideal. If there is no such well at your disposal, then you should make a symbolic well. To do this, you can use matches, toothpicks, other sticks. Building a well is quite simple. Make a square out of the sticks, laying the sticks on top of each other, and so make several rows. Take a thimble, pour some water into it and place it next to the well. In the villages, girls can pour water into a bucket and put it near a real well. Lock a real well with a real key, “lock” one made of sticks with any key, making the appropriate movement with your hand, and put the key under your pillow. Going to bed, say: "The betrothed-mummer, come to me to the well of water to drink, ask me for a key." A betrothed will come to you in a dream to drink water from your well.

Divination of fate by the shadows

This type of fortune-telling, due to its simplicity and clarity, is very common in the modern girlish environment. The girl sets fire to a paper sheet crumpled by her hand, and then examines the shadow of the burning paper on the wall - this is the first stage of divination, even at this stage quite clear images can arise.

Everyone takes a blank sheet of paper, crumple it, put it on a dish or on a large flat plate and set it on fire. When the sheet burns out or almost burns out, it is displayed on the wall with the help of a candle - this is the second and main stage. Carefully examining the shadows, they try to find out their future from the images of the shadows.

Fortune telling with a ring to evoke the image of the future groom

Take an ordinary glass with smooth walls, a flat bottom and without a pattern, pour water into it to 3/4 of the volume and carefully lower the wedding ring to the middle of the bottom. The ring must be pre-washed in running water so that it does not bear the information of its owner. Looking closely at the very center of the ring, saying the words: "My betrothed, mummers come to me," you can see the betrothed. To see it, you may have to look into the ring for quite some time.

Fortune telling with inducing sleep about the betrothed

We write the name of the young man on a piece of paper, put it on a small mirror and under the pillow, or put three bay leaves under the pillow. On one they write - "Ananias", on the other - "Azarius" and on the third - "Misail" and cast a spell: "From Monday to Tuesday, I look at the windowsill, whoever dreams of me, let me dream."

Guessing in the night from Monday to Tuesday. A sprig of spruce is taken, placed at the head of the head for the night. At the same time they say: "I lie down on Monday, I put a spruce tree at the head, dream of the one who thinks about me." Whoever dreams, he loves you.

Guessing in the night from Thursday to Friday. Going to bed, they say: "Thursday with Wednesday, Tuesday with Monday, Sunday with Saturday. Friday alone and I, young, alone. I am lying on the Zion Mountains, three angels in my head: one sees. The other will say, the third will indicate fate."

Girls wonder if they go to bed where they didn’t have to before. Before going to bed they say: "In a new place, dream of the bridegroom." In a dream you will see your fiance.

Card reading

Before going to bed, four kings are placed under the pillow and they say: "Who is my betrothed, who is my mummer, that dream to me in a dream." If you dream of a king of spades, the groom will be an old man and jealous, a red king means young and rich, a cross king means wait for matchmakers from a military or businessman, and a tambourine one from the desired one.

Divination by relatives

They go to look out the windows of their neighbors during dinner. If they see the heads of those sitting at the table, they foretell to themselves that future relatives will all be alive; if they don’t see the heads, then misfortune should happen to relatives.

Melt the wax in a mug, pour milk in a saucer and place it at the threshold of an apartment or house. Say the following words: "Brownie, my master, come under the threshold to drink milk, eat wax." With the last words, pour the melted wax into the milk. Now watch closely what is happening.

• If you see a frozen cross, some kind of illness awaits you in the new year.
• If the cross only appears, then in the coming year your financial affairs will not go too well, and in your personal life troubles will overcome, but not too serious.
• If a flower blooms - get married, get married or find a loved one.
• If the beast appears, be careful: you will have some kind of enemy.
• If the wax flows in strips, you will have roads, crossings.
• Lie down with stars - expect good luck in the service, in your studies.
• If a human figure is formed, you will gain a friend.
• House - soon acquiring a new household; for a girl, this is primarily due to her marriage.
• Shapeless ruins - misfortune in the near future.
• A pit, a small cave or a grotto is the most undesirable figure, since it symbolizes a burial place and predicts a serious illness or imminent death.
• Trees - they can be interpreted in different ways: the upward branches of a tree promise quick joy, drooping - sadness, longing and boredom.
• A ring or a candle definitely predicts a quick wedding.
• A pancake that has sunk to the bottom, on the contrary, promises a long girlhood.

On bulbs

Take several bulbs and label each one. These bulbs are planted in the ground: whoever sprouts first, that girl will marry ahead of others.

around the ring

In an ordinary glass glass with a flat bottom, without any patterns, pour 3/4 of water and carefully lower the wedding ring to the middle of the bottom. Then they look through the water into the middle of the ring, where the image of the betrothed should appear.

Throw the ring on the floor. If it rolls to the door, it means that the girl will soon get married, and the man - on a business trip. Can be interpreted as leaving home.

The call of passers-by

Go outside at midnight and ask the name of the first person you meet. That is what your betrothed will be called, just like that he will be handsome and rich.

Eavesdropping

Climb under the window of the neighbors and, of course, listen. If they have a showdown with breaking dishes, you can expect a "fun" year. If there is silence in the house - and your year will be harmonious. Depending on what is happening in the house of neighbors at the time of eavesdropping, and you will develop the coming year.

Fortune telling on a wooden chip

Pour water into a basin. Attach strips of paper along the edges of the pelvis, on which events are written, for example, a wedding, a trip, receiving money, a new job, etc. (if the fortuneteller is alone), or the names of all those present who want to know their future. In the second case, one event is thought of, in particular, a wedding, an acquaintance with a future spouse, etc.

You need to take a dry chip, preferably a deciduous tree, and fix on it the stub of a candle that burned in the house where fortune-telling takes place. Light a candle and push the "boat" to the middle of the pelvis. From there, the sliver should itself swim up to one of the notes. Which note floats to, the event will happen.

If the shape looks like a church, then this is for a wedding, you can also decipher the message if the squirrel resembles a cross or a ring. If the form looks like a child, a cradle, a pacifier or other attribute relating to a baby, then this is a replenishment in the family. The heart shape indicates the beginning of a new romantic relationship. Silhouettes resembling a gate or a wreath - to a change in career plan. If the protein curls up in the form of a geometric figure, then this is a health hazard.

Divination on a towel

On the night of Christmas or Epiphany, you should hang a new white towel on the balcony with the words: “My betrothed, mummers, come at night and wash yourself.” If the towel becomes wet in the morning, it means that the girl will get married soon, if the fabric remains dry, then marriage will have to wait.

Then, you should put a burning piece of paper on a saucer, wait until it burns out. After the paper burns out, you should cast a glance at the shadow of the candle.

If the shadow looks like a tree, then this is a problem. A shadow resembling a bird means some good event that will cause a lot of positive emotions. The silhouette of a wolf portends the appearance of a very good friend, a shadow in the form of a cat indicates that a person has an envious person, a ring - for an imminent marriage.
