For divination, two mirrors are taken (sufficiently large and, if possible, equal in size), placed opposite each other and illuminated by two candles. It is best to keep one mirror in front of the illuminated wall mirror, so that you get a long corridor lit up with 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 a sound, do not look in the mirror and do not approach the fortuneteller.
At the end of the corridor formed between the two mirrors, the 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 evil spirits ...
Fortune telling on the character of the groom and marriage
And a bowl or saucer is made up of various objects that fortune-telling girls should take turns pulling out without looking. The main condition is that the items must clearly reflect a character trait or quality of life.

Fortune telling on cereals for the Old New Year
In a circle, you need to arrange saucers with different cereals: buckwheat, millet, rice, semolina, oatmeal, barley, and pour water into a separate saucer. The girls take turns spinning a raw egg in the center of the circle and watching in which direction it rolls.
If to buckwheat - the groom will be rich, to millet - he will be blond, to rice - he will be married, to semolina - the groom will be from the north, to pearl barley - the groom will be a military man. Water means that the girl is waiting for the journey. If the egg spins in place, then the girl will not get married this year.
Divination by three rings for marriage
You will need an earthenware bowl, three handfuls of pure millet and three rings - gold, silver and plain metal. Exactly at midnight, shake the rings in your palms and, without looking, put them in a bowl, cover with millet so that the jewelry is not visible, scroll the container three times clockwise. After that, put the bowl next to the bed. On the morning of January 14, without getting out of bed, put your hand into the bowl and randomly take out a handful of millet.
If there was no ring in the millet, then nothing will change in your personal life, and if at this moment you already have a man from whom you are expecting a marriage proposal, then your aspirations will not come true - you will part with this person.
If you come across a simple ring, then there will be a lot of acquaintances in the coming year, but you are unlikely to get married, because you won’t be able to decide who you want to see next to you.
If you come across a silver ring, then you will be engaged, and you will get married next year.
If you got a golden ring, then marriage awaits you.
Lucky for the Old New Year!
You can not rely solely on good signs; a number of rituals have been developed to make the new year better than the previous one.
It is advisable to cook dishes from pork, chicken or hare. Pork promised wealth, rooster dishes - freedom, and hare - success in all endeavors. If you are not ready to look for rabbit or do not like pork, then replace the meat with the symbols of these animals - cookies or crackers in the form of animals.
Game and fish were not served on the table, so that happiness “did not fly away” and “did not float away” from the house. Crayfish and other animals that move backwards or move sideways were also undesirable - they promised the return of old problems in the new year.
Finally, the network found a description of "the surest and most reliable way to attract money to the house for the Old New Year." So: take two candles, one white wax and the other yellow. White will symbolize you, and yellow - gold, which will be attracted to your house. Light them up for festive table, setting on a dish 10 centimeters apart.
Close your eyes and mentally imagine how the yellow candle is attracted to the white one. Extinguish them and repeat the ritual the next day, setting the candles a little closer. Continue like this until Epiphany, when the candles should burn out to the end. Wrap the cinders in silk cloth and hide in a secluded place. Keep them until there is money in the house (and this, of course, will happen very soon!)

- For dinner, the girl should eat a salty product. Despite a strong thirst, it is impossible to drink a salty dish. Before going to bed, you need to put a glass of water in front of your bed and say:
"Narrowed, mummers, come (name) to drink spring water."

- Add up the numbers for your date of birth. Then add together the numbers of the coming year. You should also add both results (you should get a single-digit number). For example, you were born on December 5, 1995, and you are guessing for 2018. As a result of addition, the number 7 is obtained. This is an odd number. You will not be able to meet a loved one or get married this year.
- You were born on 12/5/1995, and your loved one on 05/11/1998. Add up the numbers of your date of birth and the person you love. An even number indicates that you can create a harmonious pair. Odd indicates that you are better off breaking up. In this example, adding the results of two calculations gives 12. The result of adding 1 and 2-3. Further relations with a person born on May 11, 1998 should be abandoned.
Guessing should not be taken seriously. They should be considered as good way have fun with friends.
On the evening of January 13, you can tell fortunes about marriage to find out the character of your future spouse. An unmarried girl chooses a house and eavesdrops under the windows. According to what you hear in the house, you can judge the character of the future spouse, for example:
- Songs and laughter - the spouse will be cheerful. However, if there is a feast in the house, it is possible that the girl will become the wife of an alcoholic.
- Quarrel - the husband will be grumpy.
- Silence in the house - there will be a marriage with a quiet and kind person.
Fortune telling is carried out in a circle of unmarried friends. You need to take a new spool of white thread. The girls cut the threads of the same length, and then set them on fire at the same time. A girl whose thread will decay earlier than her friends will get married in the new year. If the threads burn out at the same time, no one present will become a wife in the near future.
You can predict how a future husband will look like with the help of male hair. It is necessary to take several hairs from a brunette, blond, brown-haired, red and gray-haired and put them into envelopes. To get a prediction about prosperity in the family, you should take a small coin (5, 10 or 50 kopecks), a bill of 50 or 100 rubles. and a banknote in denominations of 1000 or 5000 rubles. Money is laid out in identical bags. You can wrap coins and banknotes in paper.
Envelopes with hair and bags of money are placed under the pillow on the night of January 14th. In the morning, the girl should randomly pull out 1 envelope and 1 bag. Thus, an unmarried woman can find out whether her husband will be a brunette, blond, brown-haired or red. If the hair turns gray, the spouse will be much older.
When to guess at the betrothed?
It is generally accepted that the best time for such fortune-telling is the night before Christmas. Many magicians say that it is possible to guess in this way throughout all Christmas time. They last until baptism, that is, January 19th. Esotericists argue that just at this time the world of spirits and reality touch each other, and therefore you can look into the future and learn a lot of interesting things. By tradition, all divination takes place at night.
If you want to try fortune telling regardless of the holidays, then best night is from Thursday to Friday. However, you must understand that then the result can be obtained not quite real. This is due to the fact that everyday life is always filled with different things and therefore people do not perceive signs so well.
Undoubtedly, each particular fortune-telling should be carried out taking into account certain recommendations. At the same time, there are some rules that must be strictly adhered to in order to obtain the correct data.
- First of all, ensure silence in the room where you decide to conduct the ceremony. Nothing should interfere with you. So put away all household appliances and turn off all appliances.
- Relax before the ritual and take care of a good mood. Any, even the slightest tension can become a hindrance. Do not cross your legs and arms, because this can become an obstacle to energy and the connection with the mystical world will not be so good.
- Before you start guessing, remove all makeup from your face and let your hair down. Wear loose and light-colored clothing. Also remove all belts. If you are wearing jewelry, take them off too.
- To see the betrothed, guess alone. Moreover, you must keep the sacrament. To put it simply, no one should know about it. Otherwise, the result is unlikely to be true.
- Focus completely on the ritual and you will definitely see your betrothed. So prepare mentally in advance so as not to be scared. The main thing is that you can get the result only with the help of sincere faith and magic.
If you really want to open the veil of the future and find out who will be your betrothed, then on New Year's Eve, tell fortunes on the gentleman using a mirror.
Then blow out the fire of the candle and go away from the place where you were guessing. Do not turn back so that the phantom of the future gentleman does not scare you.
- Divination with a mirror. Suitable only for girls with a strong nervous system. In a non-residential room at home, and even better in a bath, you need to stay alone. Place two mirrors opposite each other to form a mirror corridor. Light candles in front of the mirrors and set the table for two people. Then invite your betrothed to dinner. It is likely that you will have to wait a long time. However, this does not scare many. The main thing in this fortune-telling, which fortunetellers usually forget about: the face of the betrothed can be seen only if it is stranger. And if the betrothed is someone from a close circle or friends, then only the back of the head can be seen.
- Much simpler guessing. Take four kings from the deck and guess for each the names of men - acquaintances or even strangers. Shuffle the cards and put them under your pillow. After that, eat a lump of salt and say a spell: “My betrothed, mummers, come to me, give me water to drink!” Go to bed. In a dream, your betrothed will come to you to give you water to drink. If this night you do not see sleep, in the morning blindly remove one card from under the pillow - this will be your fiance.
- Interpretation: before going to bed, take four kings from the deck and put them under the pillow and say: “Who is my betrothed, who is my mummer, dream me in a dream.” If you dream of a king of spades, then the groom will be an old man and jealous. The King of Hearts is young and rich. Cross - reliable and strict, military or businessman. And the king of diamonds means a musician or an artist.
- Another common method is divination on objects. You should prepare a set of some items: say, take a calculator, an organizer, a stethoscope, a ski cap, chalk, and so on ... Then the girls (or the girl, if she is a fortuneteller) blindfolded choose one of the proposed items, each of which symbolizes an occupation future spouse. It is not difficult to decipher the messages of fate: a calculator means a husband is a financial inspector or a banker, an organizer is a manager, a stethoscope is a doctor, a ski cap is an athlete, chalk is a teacher or teacher ...
- Divination with cups. Take a few cups - according to the number of fortunetellers. Arrange a coin, bread, sugar, onion and salt in cups, and pour a small amount of water into one of the cups. Then the cups should be moved quickly, quickly. And then "choose your fate." Bread means a prosperous life with a financially wealthy person, sugar means a sweet romance, but no more, onions mean a romantic relationship with a neurotic who will make you cry. Salt - to break. But water symbolizes constancy - there will be no changes in the fortuneteller's life. If there are several girls during this fortune-telling, then a ring is placed in one of the cups. The girl who chooses a cup with a ring will be the first to marry.
- And another well-known method of divination, for which you need dishes. A woman writes on pieces of paper the names of men she likes or who most likely likes her. One of the papers is left blank. Then he spreads the leaves around a bowl of water, carefully lowers the nutshell with a candle inside into the water and carefully observes where it will float. If it turns out to be an empty sheet, it means that the time has not yet come to meet your fate this year ... Divination for the future occurs in a similar way. Only on the leaves they write not the names of men, but different important events that can happen in life: a wedding, a trip, a new job, a move, and so on.
- Fortune-telling by dog barking is popular in the countryside. At midnight, you need to take a knife, go to a snowdrift on the street (if there is one, of course) and start cutting the snow with a knife, saying: “Damn, damn, don’t be silent, damn, damn, tell me what kind of husband I will get, I will have to laugh or cry ? Having uttered the words of the spell, you should be silent 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. A hoarse bark promises an old groom. A shrill bark means that the betrothed will have a bad temper. Voiced barking - a young chosen one. Zalivisty - the husband is cheerful and kind.
- The method is as simple as wrench. Girls at midnight go to the crossroads and ask the name of the first man they meet. It is considered the name of the betrothed.

Fortune telling about romantic events
This is one of the oldest and simplest divination that came to us with Ancient Rus'. It assumes that an unmarried woman should go out on Christmas night to the street and find the first person she meets. And it must be a man.
You need to ask the name of this man. It is believed that this name will be fateful for a woman and will be the same (or similar) as the name of the betrothed. Of course, in Rus' it was customary to run out into the street in groups of young girls, which made divination fun, funny and not at all strange.
Simple fortune telling for women Take for fortune-telling a broom that is stored in your house and has already managed to sweep the floor. Break a few twigs on the broom. From the twigs you should weave a kind of bridge. This "bridge" should be kept under the pillow all night. Before going to bed, say the phrase: "My betrothed, take me across the bridge." At night, you should dream about the desired image.
In the absence of a broom (this often happens in modern apartments), you can use your comb. To do this, you should carefully comb your hair, put the comb under the pillow, say: "Betrothed, comb my hair, comb my head." After that, go to bed. The dream will present you with an image of a future lover.
Interesting fortune-telling - Shadow divination is a simple ritual. On paper, write down everything you want to get and are afraid to lose. Further, the sheet is crumpled in the hands, but not too tight. Place opposite white empty wall a candle, and between the wall and the candle a lump of paper. By the shadow that lies on the wall and the interpretation should be read.
- Divination on a wedding ring. For fortune-telling, you need to take a ring from a married lady, but you can’t touch it with your hands. Ask the woman to remove the ring and tie it to a string. This attribute should be asked questions and held over the open palm. If the ring will make an even movement in the form of a line - the answer is “no”, if the circle is the answer is “yes”.
- Divination on wax For this you will need a candle and a cup of water. Retire in a room with candles, fill a cup with water and place it in front of you. Point the candle at the center of the cup and gently let the wax drip into the water. The resulting figure should be interpreted as a sign foreshadowing future events or the answer to a question.
- Divination on grains. For this divination, it is best to use coffee beans, but if they are not available, any grains, as well as cereals, will come in handy. To do this, dip your palm into the grain and rake it into a handful. Holding the grain, ask them a question, the answer to which can be yes or no. Count all the grains, add up all the numbers in the sum. For example, 247 \u003d 2 4 7 \u003d 13 \u003d 1 3 \u003d 4. If the number is even, the answer is “no”, if it is odd, the answer is “yes”.
- From the moment the ritual begins until morning, the girl must be silent.
- Divination should not be performed during menstruation.
- You can’t guess in a “state-owned” house, i.e. in any non-residential setting such as a hospital, workplace, etc. At home, with your parents or with a friend, you can.

Researchers of the lunar phases found out that it is better to guess at the betrothed on the 6th, 7th, 21st, 24th, 27th, 30th lunar day. But on the 29th, it is better not to carry out such rituals. Now let's move on to the methods of divination for your betrothed before going to bed.
Take the lock, lower it under the water and drive it in a circle, saying: “I close the water, the betrothed cannot get drunk. If you want to get drunk, you will have to dream!

- The king is a man much older than you.
- Jack is a young guy.

This fortune-telling should not be carried out by the girl herself, but by her mother, sister or other blood relative. On the night of full moon you need to take a thing from the girl’s wardrobe and, as it were, “close” it with the words: “Oh, I put the lock on the red girl, come on hubby, take your beautiful one!”.

Add half a glass of water, saying: "Tell me the ring, to whom will I give my heart?". Put a glass near the bed and go to bed. Your man will come in a dream.

Before you arrange fortune-telling for Christmas 2020 at home for your betrothed in a dream, you need to remember how it was done before.
An ancient belief says that unearthly forces and spirits become available for contact in January. In the past, people tried to use this ability to predict the future by interpreting secret signs. This was done during the two-week period immediately after Russian Christmas until Epiphany Day.
Divination has always been a favorite Christmas activity for young women and teenage girls. They usually choose dark, non-residential premises, often a bathhouse or "barn". There they loosen their hair, take off their necklaces, rings and bracelets, revealing themselves to the spirits.
Basically, all unmarried girls were usually interested in one thing: whether they would have a wedding in the near future, and if so, who would be narrowed.

The tradition of celebrating Christmas in Rus' on January 7 originated at the beginning of the 19th century from the moment of the official transition to the Gregorian calendar. Some people "instantly switched" to new dates, others began to celebrate "double holidays" (like, for example, New Year and Old year).
It was customary for Orthodox people to fast until Christmas, go to church, honor church holidays. However, not everyone observed all Christian traditions, in particular young people. This is what happens in our time. Nevertheless, the custom of guessing at Christmas time has survived to this day. As a rule, fortune-telling began on the night of Christmas and lasted until Epiphany on January 19th.
How was it customary to tell fortunes in Rus' at Christmas time? Divination was especially popular for young girls and unmarried women. They guessed, mainly, on the betrothed and love. Those ladies who were already married could also engage in divination for fun or interest: for the future, for happiness, for money, for children.
It is interesting that most of the fortune-telling that has survived to our times involves its conduct in the village. Such fortune-telling cannot be carried out in a modern apartment. Therefore, if you want to perform a particular ritual for the upcoming holidays, it is important to find a really suitable place for it.
The most popular fortune-telling was: fortune-telling with a ring, bread, a hook, through a mirror, by throwing a boot over a fence. Each of the fortune-telling had to be able to correctly interpret, because at that time it was important to have a good imagination.
On Christmas Eve in Rus', it was customary to greet guests standing on the threshold. At the same time, gifts were often given to those who came to the house. Some guests frankly "demanded" gifts and at that time sang songs, recited poems wishing the owners of the house happiness and prosperity.

They guessed at Christmas time because only then it was possible to get the most accurate answers to all exciting questions, because it is precisely the mystical power that will help in this.

- Top left - "OH"
- Upper right - "SHE"
- Bottom left - "WE"
- Bottom right - "I"
- You need to take a coin in your hands and put it with an edge right in the center of the saucer.
- It is necessary to sharply spin the coin so that it starts moving and, after spinning, stops in one sector.
- Before you begin to spin the coin or while it is spinning, you will need to ask a question, the answer to which can be the answer written on the saucer.
Another interpretation:
- "OH" - the problem is in your beloved.
- "SHE" - you have a rival in a love relationship.
- "I" - you have problems that do not allow events to unfold the way you want.
- "WE" - everything will be fine with you and you will be able to find your love.

To do this, at midnight on Christmas night, you need to leave the house into the courtyard, taking an old boot with you. After that, you need to stand with your back to the fence and, moving your hand back, throw your boot over the fence with all your might.
It is believed that the boot will fall in the direction that will show the girl on the way to her betrothed. That is why such fortune-telling was popular in the village: each path led to a certain house. Make such fortune-telling in the city with apartment buildings just impossible.

How to determine your future by divination? - Fortune telling at home on wax. It is necessary, being at home, to light a candle, think about your fate and pour a little wax into a plate of water. Then turn on the fantasy and carefully consider the figure that has turned out. What it looks like is what the future will be like. The house symbolizes new life, economy, household chores. Ring and other jewelry - for the imminent wedding. Clothes - to update. Trees - to joyful events. Dog - to the emergence of a new friend. If the resulting outlines are incomprehensible and ugly, then this promises you trouble and illness.
- One of the simplest and at the same time popular ways. Blank sheet papers are crumpled and set on fire on a dish. Then, with the help of a candle on the wall, they create a projection of shadows from the formed hill of ash. Considering the outlines of shadows and, of course, including fantasy, people associate them with symbols of their future.
- Divination by book is also known. To do this, guess the page number and line from above or below, and then find and read the specified line. Its content was interpreted as a prophecy.
How fast will you get married
Each girl should take a thread of the same length. Several girls need to take the thread at the same time. Stand near a fireplace or fire, stretching out your hands with a thread at the same distance from the fire.
Whose thread burns first will marry first. If the thread does not burn even halfway, then you will never get married.
- To predict marriage, village girls have also long used the method of divination "even" or "odd" on various objects. Potential brides counted the number of logs in a pile of firewood or the number of pickets in a fence that they managed to wrap their arms around. Or they poured a handful of wheat in front of the rooster, and when he was full, they counted the remaining grains. The paired number was considered a symbol of a married couple, and the unpaired number indicated loneliness, at least in the short term.
- Take a glass of water, a thread and a ring. Make a wish about your marriage. Then tie the ring to a long thread and lower it to the bottom of the glass. Next, you need to slowly raise the ring out of the water and carefully observe how it will swing. How many times the ring hits the walls of the glass, after so many years the wedding will take place.
- Remove the six cards from the deck, guess the name of the young man and get the king and queen of hearts. The king must be placed on the bottom of the deck, and the queen must be placed on top. Then you need to start laying out the cards face down, starting with the lady. When you lay out the entire deck, look at it carefully and remove those cards (one or two) that are between cards of the same suit or value. If there are three cards between such cards, only the middle one should be removed. If after the first layout of the cards only the queen and the king remain, then the wedding will definitely take place.
- Take your shoes, for example, a boot or boot, go to the threshold and think about a man you like. Then turn your back to the snow and throw your shoes over your shoulder. Where the sock turns, from there and wait for the groom. It is especially fun to tell fortunes about shoes in the company of friends, and then look for boots in the snow. By the way, men can also use a similar divination: where the toe of the boot will be directed, the future spouse lives in that direction.
New Year's divination on wax
Then lower the candle over the water so that wax drips from it and figures form. Take a close look at these figures to understand what to expect from the coming year. If the figures look like hearts, then great love awaits you, and if, for example, you see the silhouette of a dog, then this is a strong friendship. You should be wary of figures that look like crosses, graves, coffins and other similar creepy things. If something similar is formed in a dish with water, then this may portend the death of one of the close people or health problems of a very complex nature.
