On the evening of January 13, you can tell fortunes about your marriage to find out the character of your future spouse. An unmarried girl chooses a house and listens under the windows. Based on what you hear in the house, you can judge the character of your 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 - you are about to marry a quiet and kind person.
Fortune telling is carried out among unmarried friends. You need to take a new spool of white thread. The girls cut the threads to equal lengths and then set them on fire at the same time. The girl whose thread wears out earlier than her friends will get married in the new year. If the threads burn out at the same time, none of those present will become a wife in the near future.
You can predict what your future husband will look like using men's hair. You need to take a few hairs from a brunette, blond, brown-haired, red and gray hair and put them in envelopes. To get a prediction about wealth in the family, you should take a small coin (5, 10 or 50 kopecks), a bill of 50 or 100 rubles. and a bill of 1000 or 5000 rubles. The money is put into identical bags. You can wrap coins and bills 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 must randomly pull out 1 envelope and 1 bag. In this way, an unmarried woman can find out whether her husband will be brunette, blond, brown-haired or red-haired. If the hair turns out to be gray, the spouse will be much older.
When to tell fortunes about your betrothed?
It is generally accepted that the best time for such fortune telling is the night before Christmas. Many magicians say that you can tell fortunes in this way throughout Christmas. They last until baptism, that is, January 19. Esotericists claim that it is precisely at this time that 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 fortune telling is carried out 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 may not be entirely realistic. This is due to the fact that everyday life is always filled with different things to do and therefore people do not perceive the signs so well.
Undoubtedly, each specific fortune-telling should be carried out taking into account certain recommendations. However, there are some rules that must be strictly followed in order to obtain the correct data.
- First of all, ensure silence in the room where you decide to conduct the ritual. Nothing should bother you. So put away all household appliances and turn off all appliances.
- Relax before the ritual and take care of your 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 the energy and the connection with the mystical world will not be as good.
- Before you start guessing, remove all makeup from your face and let your hair down. Wear loose, light-colored clothing. Also remove all belts. If you wear jewelry, take it off too.
- To see your betrothed, tell fortunes alone. Moreover, you must observe the sacrament. To put it simply, no one should know about this. Otherwise, the result is unlikely to be correct.
- Focus completely on the ritual and you will definitely see your betrothed. So prepare yourself mentally in advance so as not to be scared. The main thing is that you can get results only with the help of sincere faith and magic.
If you really want to lift the veil of the future and find out who your betrothed will be, then on New Year’s Eve, tell your fortune with the help of a mirror.
Then blow out the candle fire and leave the place where you were telling fortunes. Don’t turn around so that the phantom of your future gentleman doesn’t scare you.
- Fortune telling with a mirror. Suitable only for girls with a strong nervous system. In a non-residential room at home, or even better in a bathhouse, you need to be left alone. Place two mirrors opposite each other to form a mirror corridor. Light candles in front of the mirrors and set a 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 people. The main thing in this fortune-telling, which fortune-tellers usually forget: the betrothed’s face can be seen only if it stranger. And if the betrothed is someone from close circle or friends, then you will only be able to see the back of the head.
- Much simpler fortune telling. Take four kings from the deck and guess for each the names of men - familiar or even unfamiliar. Shuffle the cards and place them under your pillow. After this, eat a pile of salt and say a spell: “My betrothed, mummer, come to me, give me water to drink!” Go to bed. In a dream, your betrothed will come to you to give you water. If that night you do not see sleep, in the morning blindly take one card from under the pillow - this will be your groom.
- 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, he will appear in my dreams.” If you dream about the king of spades, then the groom will be an old man and a jealous person. The King of Hearts is young and rich. Krestovy - reliable and strict, military or businessman. And the king of diamonds means a musician or artist.
- Another common method is fortune telling 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 a girl, if there is only one fortuneteller) blindfolded choose one of the proposed items, each of which symbolizes their 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 means a manager, a stethoscope means a doctor, a ski cap means an athlete, chalk means a teacher or lecturer...
- Fortune telling with cups. Take several cups - according to the number of fortune tellers. Place 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 and quickly. And after that, “choose your destiny.” Bread means a prosperous life with a financially wealthy person, sugar - a sweet romance, but nothing more, onions - a romantic relationship with a neurasthenic who will make you cry. Salt - to break. But water symbolizes constancy - there will be no changes in the life of the fortuneteller. 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 get married.
- And another well-known method of fortune telling, for which you will need dishes. A woman writes on pieces of paper the names of the men she likes or who are most likely to like her. One of the pieces of paper is left blank. Then he lays out the leaves around a bowl of water, carefully lowers the nutshell with a candle inside into the water and carefully watches where it floats. If it turns out to be an empty sheet, it means that the time has not yet come to meet your destiny this year... Fortune telling for the future occurs in a similar way. Only on the pieces of paper they write not the names of men, but different ones important events that can happen in life: wedding, travel, new job, moving, and so on.
- In rural areas, fortune telling by dog barking is popular. 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’ll get, whether I’ll have to laugh or cry.” ? After pronouncing the words of the spell, you should be silent and listen carefully to the barking of the 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. Shrill barking means that the betrothed will have a bad character. A ringing bark is a young chosen one. Zalivy - a cheerful and kind husband.
- The method is simple, like wrench. Girls go to the crossroads at midnight and ask the name of the first man they meet. It is considered the name of the betrothed.

How quickly 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 the fireplace or fire, extending your arms with a thread at the same distance from the fire.
Whose thread burns first will marry first. If the thread does not light even halfway, then you will never get married.
- To predict marriage, village girls have also long used the method of fortune telling “even” or “odd” on various objects. Potential brides counted the number of logs in an armful of firewood or the number of pickets in a fence that they managed to clasp with their hands. Or they sprinkled a handful of wheat in front of the rooster, and when he was full, they counted the remaining grains. A paired number was considered a symbol of a married couple, and an unpaired number indicated loneliness, at least in the near future.
- 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.

Then you need to start laying out the cards face down, starting with the queen. When you have laid 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 only the queen and the king remain from the cards, then there will definitely be a wedding.
- Take your shoes, for example, a boot or a boot, walk out the door and think about the man you like. Then turn your back to the snow and throw your shoes over your shoulder. Wherever the sock turns, wait for the groom from there. It’s especially fun to guess about shoes in the company of friends, and then look for boots in the snow. By the way, men can also use similar fortune telling: where the toe of the boot is directed, the future spouse lives in that direction.
New Year's fortune telling on wax
Then lower the candle over the water so that the wax drips from it and figures are formed. 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 sign of strong friendship. You should be wary of figures that look like crosses, graves, coffins and other similar creepy things. If something similar forms in a dish of water, this may foreshadow the death of someone close to you or very complex health problems.
