FORTUNE FOR THE OLD NEW YEAR BEFORE SLEEP

Divination for kings

On the night of January 13-14, before going to bed, the 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. Whichever king the girl gets, so will the husband: the king of spades is old and jealous, the king of clubs is a military man, the king of hearts is young and rich, and the king of diamonds is desirable.

Divination by bread and scissors

According to legend, if you put bread and scissors under your pillow before going to bed on the Old New Year, the girl will certainly dream of her betrothed.

Divination for 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: "Narrowed, mummers, come to me and give me a drink"! According to legend, whoever comes to get you drunk is the one you will marry.

Fortune telling on a 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: "Narrowed, mummers, come take off my shoes." A man who in a dream takes off a stocking from a fortune-telling girl will become her husband.

Divination for love

You need to put a small bowl of water under the bed, and put a small wooden stick on it and say before going to bed: "Betrothed, come take me across the bridge." Whoever in a dream translates the bridge - he will marry him.

FORTUNE

Divination on mirrors

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

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 placing one mirror in front of an illuminated wall mirror, so as to create 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 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.

For example, sugar - a sweet life, a good docile character of the groom, a ring - marriage, a glass - a fun life, a golden ring - wealth.

Divination with matches

For this fortune-telling, you must prepare a matchbox and several matches in advance.

On the sides, the box is set on a match: one is a fortune-telling girl, the other is a man she likes. We set fire to the matches and wait until they burn out completely. If the heads are facing each other, then the guy and the girl will be together.

FORTUNE ON DUMPLINGS

One of the most traditional divination for the Old New Year.

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

For example:

• Lollipop - life next year will be sweet;
• Paper bill - big money awaits you;
• Thread - to a long road or journey;
• Dragee-type sweets - replenishment of the family;
• A pea of ​​black pepper - means life with peppercorns;
• Button - a lot of interesting new things.

On the night of January 13-14, one of the most mysterious holidays is celebrated - the Old New Year. He is known in various parts of the world. And in our country, the traditions and customs of this night originate in the deep past.

Fortune-telling is one of the rituals that takes place on the night when the Old New Year is celebrated. Fortune-telling makes this holiday mysterious and mystical, they write in the publication. Such rituals have their roots in pagan deities. Our ancestors could predict many things: from global (whether the year will be fruitful, what disasters are possible) to personal (whether a girl will marry in the coming year).

Despite all the achievements of science and technology, the vast majority of mankind continues to believe in certain predictions. Although not so many people go to fortune tellers, the rite of divination for the Old New Year is for many an indispensable attribute of this holiday. Someone takes it seriously, someone perceives it as a small holiday entertainment without any subtext. In any case, remember that all fortunetellers become pagans for a while, in the hope of predicting fate. If you want fortune telling to be true, you must follow some rules:

it is best to tell fortunes after sunset;
during the ceremony, there should not be any dogs, cats, or other pets near you (it is believed that living creatures can prevent the spirits from answering your questions truthfully);
if candles are involved in the prediction, it is better to buy them in the temple (in this case, you will be protected from evil spirits and they will not be able to play a trick or harm you);
"What's in your name"
This divination is the simplest of all. On the night of January 13-14, the girls go out into the street and ask the name of the very first man they meet. They say that the name that the girl hears will be her betrothed. A large number of women who guessed in this way claim that fortune telling is true, the site notes. Fortune telling on the ring and water

Also a fairly simple fortune-telling that does not require much effort, according to the website. You just need to remove the ring from your hand and put it in a vessel with water. You can take any deep plate. The container should be left in the cold until morning, and in the morning carefully examine the ice. The number of bumps on the surface of the frozen water will tell you how many suitors the girl will have this year. If one tubercle clearly appears in the middle, then the girl will soon get married.

Divination in a glass
Thanks to this fortune-telling, the girls will find out what awaits them in the coming year. Take four glasses and fill them halfway with water. In one glass you need to put sugar, in another - salt, in the third - a ring, and leave the fourth as it is. The fortuneteller turns her back to the other, who moves the glasses and runs her finger over them in turn until the fortuneteller stops her. Then you need to try the water from the glass chosen in this way. The future is predicted by taste: if the water is salty - sadness, sadness, if the water is sweet - happiness and joy, fresh - the most ordinary year, if the ring came across - an early meeting with the betrothed.

Divination with a mirror
This is the most widely known divination described in many works of fiction, the information site noted. Both unmarried women and men can guess with a mirror. Fortune telling must be done at midnight. Light three wax candles in front of the mirror, sit in front of the mirror and quietly ask your betrothed to appear to you. Carefully peer into the reflection and you will see the face of your soulmate.

Divination on a nutshell
Fortune telling on a nutshell is also very popular. In a container of water, you need to lower two shells from a walnut. It is believed that if the shells come close, then very soon it will be necessary to meet the matchmakers.

Divination for a quick marriage
On the night of the Old New Year, the girls-girlfriends go out into the yard at midnight, blindfolding each other in turn with a handkerchief. Then the fortuneteller is turned around several times and pushed the girl in the back. If the girl goes towards the gate, she will soon get married, the site noted. If she steps towards the porch, she will sit in the "girls" for another year. Fortune telling on wax

For this interesting divination, a wax candle is used (be careful - not paraffin, but wax) and a container with cold water or melted snow. It is necessary to melt the wax candle into a separate dish, then the melted wax must be poured into cold water in the center, writes the Internet portal. By frozen figures, you can decipher your future. Turn on your imagination and guess your health!

Divination on the book
This is one of the most common and simple divination for the Old New Year. You need to take any book (better, of course, take fiction), ask yourself a question and make a page. Having opened the desired spread, you will find out the answer to the question posed by reading the first and last lines.

Who will be the future husband and what will be the fate of the child

It is believed that this is one of the most effective fortune-telling for the Old New Year, the news portal noted. Various items need to be laid out on a tray: a glass or a glass, a piece of bread, a paper bill, a mirror, a book, scissors, etc. Then this "good" must be covered with a towel and the first object that comes across is pulled out. If you pull out bread, then the husband will be hard-working, a banknote will be rich, a mirror will be handsome, a glass or a glass will be an alcoholic, coal will be poor, etc. Of course, in our time, you can make fortune telling more modern, add a flash drive or other detail of computer life.

In the same way, they are guessing at the future profession of the child. Guessing children aged two years and not more than once.

Divination with a shoe
This type of divination has been popular since the last century. To open the veil of secrecy over the future, you need to take your boot and go to the threshold of the house at midnight. Having swung well, it is necessary to throw the boot as far as possible. By where the toe of the shoe points, you can find out which side the groom will be on.

When the next New Year comes, people want updates, impressions, they associate hopes and dreams with this date. Features of Russian traditions allow you to look through time, try to find out what will happen! For this, fortune-telling was invented. You can treat them incredulously or playfully until you check. As soon as a person receives the first result, the attitude towards them usually changes dramatically.

The traditional time for divination is a special Russian holiday - the Old New Year. Its existence is the mystery of our "mysterious" soul. In divination, you need to rely on this. The egregor of the Slavic people is an excellent assistant in order to lift the veil of secrecy over the next year.

Divination methods for the Old New Year 2020

I must say that January 13, 2020 is a magical time in which almost everything is allowed. Any object can become a sign, an event - a hint of the future. Known methods are divination by candles, by shadows, cards, candles, and so on. The ritual with mirrors is very interesting. When they light candles and look into the “corridor” of mirrors arranged so that they are reflected in each other. They say it's scary. There is so much to see there!

Fortune telling on the shadows

If it is not very comfortable to look into the eyes of the future, then you can choose a simpler ritual. For example, see what the shadows tell you. Take a notebook paper. It is divided into two halves and they list to write all their desires and fears. Then the sheet must be crushed into a lump (not tight). A lit candle is placed at some distance from the screen (white wall). Between the screen and the candle is a plate on which a leaf is placed and set on fire. The light in the room should not be on.

When most of the leaf is burned, shadows will appear on the screen. You need to watch them carefully: this is your future. Sometimes the picture is straight. For example, in this fortune-telling you can see your own wedding, travel or new job. Sometimes it is associative. Turn on your imagination here.

Prediction for the Old New Year by ring

On the Old New Year, girls often guessed at the groom. You can do an impromptu quiz. Ask a married lady you know for an engagement ring. (Only it cannot be passed from hand to hand. This is a bad omen. It is believed that if a girl takes her engagement ring from the hands of a married lady, then fate will give her only not a free lover, but the lady will get divorced. Neither one nor the other is needed.) It is better if the mistress of the ring is in your company (you can call your mother).

Divination is done like this. We need to prepare cups, one per girl. The lady should arrange them upside down on the table. Put a ring under one. Naturally, everything must be done so that no one spies. Now fortunetellers must choose a cup for themselves. Not necessarily different. It is quite possible to think of one. When all the girls have decided, the secret of the location of the ring is revealed. The one that thought of the cup, under which it was, can expect a marriage proposal in the new year. The rest can be glad that there is time to enjoy youth and life without obligations!

What will the Old New Year tell on wax?

This ritual requires a serious attitude. If other methods can be carried out in a playful way, then wax is a different matter. For its implementation, church candles are often used. The result is not only a prediction for the current year, but also work with energy. It is known that the evil eye and spoilage are "poured out" with wax.

You need to melt a piece of candle in the flame of another. Do it in an ordinary tablespoon. Melted wax is poured into a pre-prepared cup of water. When it hardens, you need to consider the resulting pattern. The main thing is the shape of the figurine. If it is rounded, this is a good sign. The person will be lucky. If there are a lot of "sharp" elements, then he has enemies and envious people.

Then you need to see what the figure looks like. Character interpretation:

• arrow - get ready for a new romance,
• ledges (mountains) - there will be obstacles in business;
• depressions or holes - enemies will set up a bandwagon (or several according to the number of depressions);
• the key is a promising offer;
• cloud - dreams, a calm but boring life;
• a tree with a crown - well-being;
• only the trunk - stability;
• bare branches - poverty;
• a piece of wax came off - pregnancy, the birth of a child (cannot be interrupted, this is a warning from the Lord);
• animal - indicates a certain person who will play a big role in your life this year. It should be recognized by one's own attitude towards the beast seen in wax (positive, negative, neutral);
• castle - a secret will be revealed;
• grooves in wax - roads, interrupted - something will not work;
• star - the fulfillment of a dream;
• rose - someone loves you; a profile is nearby, which means you know this person;
• house - to a change of residence;
• aircraft (airplane, rocket, helicopter) - acceleration, something will happen quickly;
• man is new in life.

It’s bad if you see a devil or other evil spirits in your wax. This is not a very good sign!

How to know fate with the help of grains?

You know, in the old days, the most ordinary things or products were used for forecasts for the coming year. We will use any grain. In the old days, girls (and this is a female way of divination) went to the barn, and each one raked up wheat with a handful. So do it, just for simplicity, you can use any large grains (you can even coffee).

You should collect cereals as much as possible so that they do not fall on the floor. Then pour the grains in front of you and count. The resulting number should be brought to a simple figure by adding the component parts.

Example: you have 274 grains in your handful. So do: 2+7+4= 13; 1+3=4.

Therefore, you get a four. There is only one exception to this rule: if at some stage of addition the number 66 appears, then you should not continue counting. The ritual will not be true. And the rest of the numbers are deciphered as follows:

1. fulfillment of all desires, fate is in your hands;
2. be with a couple this year;
3. several admirers will look after the girl, you should not decide until next year, as the choice will be wrong;
4. moving to another house;
5. a new fulfillable dream will light up;
6. boring year;
7. wedding;
8. unrequited love;
9. good change in fate.

Previously, they only talked about marriage. But now the nine is interpreted more widely. She portends what a woman aspires to. That is, one can experience hopes for career growth, the realization of talent, wealth, admission to a university or anything else that was planned earlier and leads to serious changes in life.

A modern version of an old divination

Have you heard about fortune telling on TV? Do not be surprised, this also exists and is considered one of the most correct. It arose, of course, already in our time, after the introduction of modern equipment into life. But the idea used is old. Until now, on the Old New Year in some villages, girls walk down the street on a winter night and listen to the voices of random passers-by. If the name sounds, it should be remembered. That is what the betrothed will be called. And if you are not lucky, then you should not prepare for the wedding. She won't get along. So they thought.

Today there is no need to go into the yard. After all, there are a lot of devices that “talk” with a person right in the apartment.

Guessing is recommended in the company. One person holds the TV remote control, the second calls the channel number. And the fortuneteller asks a question or makes a wish. You can talk to yourself, well, but if you want to get advice from friends, then voice them what you have guessed. As soon as the question is formulated, the fortuneteller says: "Done."

The first assistant calls the channel number, the second one turns on the TV. Everyone must remain silent. The first phrase you hear is the answer to your plan. But how to interpret it, you have to be wiser. It all depends on the worldview and imagination. Try it yourself. A very exciting activity!
