From time immemorial, it has been customary in Russia to guess on the January holidays - in the interval between Christmas Epiphany. From January 7 to 19, the time comes when, as our ancestors believed, higher powers can predict the future most accurately.

Probably, on Christmas night, we all feel the magic around us. It is believed that on Christmas various ghosts, spirits and evil spirits enter our world and try to contact us. Knowing this, it was on Christmas Eve that our ancestors tried to look into the future, see secret signs and change their lives.

What days are better to guess in January 2018

January 5–13 – Holy Evenings. It was believed that fortune-telling is most reliable on these January days.

January 7 is the Day of St. Catherine the Marriage Lady, who is the patroness of girlish destinies. Since ancient times, unmarried people put candles on this day in front of the image of St. Catherine in the temple, so that she would send them a good life partner. Young unmarried men fasted on this day, hoping for a successful marriage.

January 13 is the feast of the Apostle Andrew the First-Called, who is also called St. Andrew's Evening. The girls guessed at the future groom - both from the 12th to the 13th, and from the 13th to the 14th of January.

From January 16 to January 17 - Barbara's Day, an ancient folk holiday. The day before his girls cut him off cherry twig and put it in the water. The one whose twig bloomed by spring was supposed to get married soon. Also on this day, girls of marriageable age sculpted dumplings and offered food to the guys. It was believed: if he ate a dumpling prepared by one of the girls, then he would soon marry her.

Divination for Christmas 2018: for the future on wax

Brownie is a spirit that guards living quarters, he warns the owner against misfortunes and troubles, and on Christmas night he is able to lift a dark veil that hides the future of his wards.

For divination on wax, we need a saucer of milk and a church wax candle. Melt the candle and pour it into milk, while whispering the text:

“DOMOVII, MY OWNER, COME UNDER THE THRESHOLD TO DRINK MILK, TASTE WAX”

The saucer is placed near the threshold of an apartment or house. Look closely and try to understand what hardened wax looks like.

1) An egg is a sign that you are ready for a new stage in life.
2) Star - awaits you career.
3) Flower - a meeting with a loved one or a wedding.
4) The cross is a harbinger of health troubles, streaks of trouble. The more distinct the shape of the cross, the more serious the problems.
5) Wax dripped in stripes - you are expected to move or long road.
6) Beast - a person will appear in your environment who will interfere with you in everything.
7) Tree leaf - expect financial well-being.
8) Human outlines - fate will prepare an acquaintance for you, which will eventually develop into friendship.

After fortune-telling, the saucer with milk and wax, promised to the brownie, should stand at the doorstep all night.

HOW TO GUESS FOR CHRISTMAS BEFORE SLEEP (On the night of January 6-7)

Divination for kings

On the night of January 6-7, before going to bed, the girls need to put under the pillow playing cards with pictures of kings. 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 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.

(function(w, d, n, s, t) (

w[n] = w[n] || ;

w[n].push(function() (

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 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 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 ON DUMPLINGS

One of the most traditional divination At Christmas.

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 he will come across, and it is by filling the dumpling that they determine what awaits a person next year.

For example:

  • Lollipop - life in 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.

SIMPLE FORTUNE

Divination in the name of the betrothed

In order to find out the name of the future husband, it is enough for a girl to go out into the street and ask the first man she meets to name his name.

Divination by the book

It is necessary to prepare a book with suitable content in advance. Without opening the book, the girls guess the page number and the line above or below. Then they open the book on the desired page and read the necessary lines. Depending on what the fortune-telling girl cares about most, they interpret the selected paragraph.

Divination on the water

Prepare two identical glasses. One of them is filled to the top with water. Having made a wish, the fortune-telling girl begins to pour liquid from one glass to another. Does this several times. After that, you need to look at the surface where the glasses stood. If no more than two or three drops remain on it, the wish will come true. If there are more drops, its implementation is difficult.

Not everyone who is fond of magical stories knows for sure when you can guess. The wrong approach can completely distort the prediction results.

When you can guess - choose the best time for predictions

When you can guess, and when you can’t in any case, almost all novice fortunetellers are interested. For predictions, there are favorable and not auspicious time. On some days, fortune telling can only bring harm. We will analyze popular questions about time, the age of the fortuneteller and the prohibitions that apply to all methods of prediction.

The best time for divination is the period when it appears desire take the cards out of the box, inspiration arises to create your own layout. When the fortune teller herself understands that the auspicious time has come, it is definitely worth guessing. Some believe that these mood swings only come with experience.

Some layouts are designed for a specific time of the lunar calendar. If you have to do just that, you should listen to the recommendation for fortune-telling, otherwise the cards or other magical attribute may lie.

Is it possible to guess on a full moon? Yes, because the full moon is the best time for any magic. It is advisable to see if the full moon coincides with any unfavorable time.

Holiday predictions are very popular -, Yuletide varieties, which are designed for a certain time period or entire holidays. It is impossible to resort to such fortune-telling at other times of the year.

What days can you guess

It is difficult to say unequivocally which day of the year will be the best for predicting the future. Period winter holidays and Epiphany are one of the most suitable days for fortune telling. In the old days they occupied a large part holiday events. Christmas divination popular even today.

Full moon might be the best moon phase. Some fortune-telling is recommended to be performed on the new moon: at this time it is easiest to get next month. To find out what the next year will be, they guess at its very beginning - January 1.

One of the best options for prediction. The best days of the week are Friday and Monday. Novice magicians are worried about whether it is possible to guess on Monday. The answer to the question: it is possible if the day does not coincide with the unfavorable circumstances, which will be discussed below.

At what age can you start guessing

The sooner a person begins to engage in prediction, the better. There is no concept of “late”: some famous tarologists became interested in fortune-telling after forty years, and someone began to predict the future from adolescence.

Professional fortune-tellers believe that children under 13 are strictly forbidden to guess. There is an opinion that the child is Blank sheet", has many possibilities, and it is very difficult to correctly interpret the alignment of his fate. Interpretations of layouts for the elderly are clearer and more precise, because the number of opportunities to change lives decreases with age.

If a situation has arisen in life that you cannot do without an intelligent fortuneteller, you should not pay attention to age. If help is really needed, it is not of paramount importance. The main thing is that after the prediction, a person does not begin to turn to fortune-telling for no reason. How independent fortune-telling, and the help of professionals in terms of prediction is not entertainment, but knowledge that must be applied wisely.

Why can't you guess

Some people think that it is impossible to guess: we are talking about believers. Christian church treats fortune-telling disapprovingly. To resort to fortune-telling in order to find out the future and get a chance to change fate, a person whom the Lord leads through life should not.

It's pretty controversial issue. Sin is an act that can be called morally bad, such as stealing or adultery. Fortune-telling does not carry such harm, therefore there is no consensus on how serious such a sin is. Believers believe that not only fortunetellers, but also their descendants will pay for this.

There is another point - the dependence on fortune-telling. If a person tries to find out fate every day, the cards will not tell the truth. There is a concept of "mistaking fate" - to lose the chance to arrange life the way you originally wanted, if you rely solely on predictions and abuse them.

It is also impossible to guess for those who are having a hard time with unpleasant predictions. If a person is not mentally prepared to hear what awaits him in the future, it is better not to ask questions, the answers to which you may not like.

What days can not be guessed

The Christian church has a negative attitude towards fortune-telling, therefore, engage in them during church holidays not accepted. The exception is traditional Christmas, Christmas and many other fortune-telling.

On Sunday, any fortune-telling is prohibited, because earlier on Sundays, believers paid attention to prayer and church. Non-believers and representatives of other faiths, this prohibition does not apply.

Is it possible for women to guess critical days? It is believed that at this time a woman becomes "impure", and the level of her energy natural protection decreases. It is impossible to predict the future, but there are special fortune-telling during menstruation. Pay attention to, which may be useful to the girl. There are several articles on our site that describe this topic in more detail.

Can't guess at bad mood, after all so can be influence fate. If a person who is unpleasant to the fortuneteller asks for fortune-telling, it is better to refuse. The mood should be neutral: the right concentration and attitude will affect

Winter fortune-telling has been known since the time Ancient Rus' when paganism was widespread. You can start guessing from the evening of December 31, on New Year's Eve. The time of the most accurate predictions is traditionally considered to be the period from Christmas Eve (January 6) to Epiphany (January 19). These two weeks are called Christmas Eve.

    Divination rules

    There are many options for fortune telling in winter. Everyone chooses the best dates and times for themselves. Most often, female representatives want to look into the future. Girls have long been interested to know what fate has prepared for them.

    When conducting fortune-telling for the Christmas holidays and Epiphany, the fortuneteller should:

    • Dissolve the hair. Long women's hair has long been considered a magnet for evil spirits. And if they are loose, the evil one will certainly turn his attention to the fortuneteller.
    • Remove all charms and jewelry: pectoral cross, earrings, rings and bracelets.
    • Carry out fortune-telling only in an empty house, room. The most successful place in the old days was the canopy.

    To protect yourself from the action of evil spirits, you need to draw a circle around yourself with a candle or a poker. If a group of girls is guessing, everyone takes each other by the little fingers.

    The color of candles plays an important role:

    • When divining for love, it is better to light red and white candles.
    • For fate - blue and purple.
    • For success in business and finances, green and gold are lit.
    On New Year and old new year

    On New Year's Eve, fortune-telling is most often carried out in a company. They can be real and funny. With the help of simple actions, you can find out what awaits everyone in the next year.

    Based on the book

    Everyone picks up any book they like. Before you start the process, you should mentally ask a question. The main thing is to formulate it succinctly.

    After that, the fortuneteller sets the page and line number (top or bottom). If the line is dropped from incomplete sentence you need to read it in its entirety. The resulting expression will be the answer to the question posed. You can guess on the same book no more than three times per evening.

    By pillow

    This fortune-telling is usually carried out on the old New Year. Before going to bed, the fortuneteller should put the pillowcase inside out on the pillow. He himself puts on his pajamas, also inside out, and lies on the bed with his head where his legs usually point.

    In the morning you need to see which side the person woke up on. If on the pillow was right cheek, his wish will soon come true, if the left - the time for fulfillment has not yet come.

    For coffee

    Fortune telling on coffee is carried out on the old New Year. The drink must be drunk insoluble and without sugar. After he has finished drinking, the cup must be turned upside down on the saucer three times. After the third time, you need to wait a bit until the coffee residues flow down, forming figures.

    Their interpretation is presented in the table:

    CatFast travel, holiday abroad
    figures of peoplePleasant meetings, dates with loved ones
    CrapSoon you will have to face the tricks of evil spirits
    With TV or radio

    The fortuneteller needs to mentally ask a question and turn on the TV (radio). The first thing he hears will be the answer. It can be an excerpt from a song, a program, a monologue of the presenter.

    It is best to include those channels on which you can hear something positive.

    Card reading

    Picking up cards in order to find out your future with their help, the fortuneteller must remember:

    • You can't lie in front of cards. Cunning on the part of a woman will entail a lie of the cards.
    • You cannot use a deck that was previously used in games and solitaire games.
    • Before fortune-telling, you need to ask the cards a clearly formulated question without unnecessary information.
    • In the process of divination, you need to keep it in your head all the time. If fortune-telling is carried out on a lover, it is advisable to represent his image.
    • Before divination, you should turn off all electronic items in the house or at least in the room: TV, radio, computer and telephones.
    • Guessing is necessary by candlelight.
    • You can not tell fortunes on church holidays.
    • The process should begin after sunset, preferably after midnight.
    • You can’t tell anyone about the results of fortune-telling - otherwise it will turn out to be comic.
    • Women should tell fortunes on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Men - on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
    • It is necessary to refrain from fortune-telling on Sunday.

    There are two ways to find out whether the cards will tell the truth or lie today:

  • 1. Carefully shuffle the deck and lay it out in piles in the form of a square - two piles at the top and two at the bottom. The stacks do not have to be equal. After that, open the top cards from each pile and see: if the cards match in rank horizontally, vertically or diagonally, then the cards will answer true today.
  • 2. Shuffle the cards and start laying them out three at a time in a column. Stop when a lady of diamonds falls out (a fortune-telling card if she is not married). Next to it will be two cards, the value of which you need to see. If they talk about events last week or a month, then today the cards are set to tell the truth.

    • A young unmarried man thinks of the king of diamonds. Married - hearts. If a man is much older than a fortuneteller or occupies an important position, then he is a king of clubs. An unfamiliar guy is the king of spades.

    You can learn about the near future and the events of the past with the help of a simple gypsy fortune-telling. For him, you need to take a deck, shuffle it and move some part towards you with your left hand. The shifted cards are placed down.

    Nine cards are laid out in three columns, the rest are set aside. The first 3 rows represent the past, the second - the present, the third - the future. So you can guess not only for yourself, but also for others, without having special skills.

    Christmas and Christmas divination

    Although the church remains opposed to any fortune-telling, the tradition of fortune-telling from January 6 to 7 has survived to this day. Many believe that fortune-telling during the Christmas holidays is a harmless divination that is not considered a sin.

    Christmas fortune-telling should be carried out only on the holiday itself and on its eve - on any other days they lose their relevance and do not bring any results. It is also allowed to guess at Christmas time, or the so-called fortune-telling week - the period between Christmas and Epiphany.

    To carry out the process of divination in the old days, various objects were used. They, according to the predictions, could protect the fortuneteller from the tricks of evil spirits. Such attributes were:

    • needle;
    • mirror;
    • ring;
    • thimble;
    • crest;
    • candles.

    Previously, only church candles were traditionally used, but now it is allowed to use any others.

    On the lover

    With the help of cards, you can find out the true attitude of a lover to a girl, as well as what he thinks about, dreams about.

    Divination by name

    On Christmas Eve, after sunset, an unmarried girl must go out alone and ask the name of the first man she meets. It is believed that this is what her betrothed will be called.

    If the stranger did not give his name, the girl is destined to be left alone this year. If the first person she met was a woman, a fortuneteller can live alone all her life, without her other half.

    For 4 jacks

    You can find out who exactly will become a lover with the help of four jacks. To do this, a fortuneteller for each must guess a man. If there are less than 4 boyfriends, the rest of the cards will remain mysterious strangers.

    Carrying out algorithm:

  • 1. Jacks are laid out face down in random order in a horizontal line.
  • 2. The remaining cards are shuffled and placed alternately under each jack, 8 pieces each.
  • 3. Then the cards are revealed.
  • 4. Pair cards (that is, with the same value) are placed on the jack. This action is performed with each jack.
  • 5. Unpaired ones are shuffled and laid out again.
  • 6. This action is performed 3 times.
  • 7. Then you can watch the result.

    • If all 4 cards of the same rank fell under the jack, then their value is exactly doubled.

    Card interpretations:

    For 4 kings

    Before going to bed, the fortuneteller puts all four kings under the pillow and says: "The betrothed-mummer, dream of me." The interpretation of sleep depends on which king the girl dreamed of:

    • Tambourine is a young man, rather sentimental, but behind him the fortuneteller will be like behind a stone wall.
    • Hearts - the husband will carry a woman in his arms all his life, but will be extremely jealous.
    • Peak - future husband will be a doctor or a military man. This is a middle-aged man.
    • Clubs - narrowed much older than the fortuneteller.
    "The Well and the Bridge"

    From matches or thin twigs, you need to make a well yourself. It should be placed next to you or under the bed. Going to bed, you need to say: "Narrowed-mummer, come, take me across the bridge."

    In a dream, a man should appear, who will transfer the sleeping arm across the bridge. If the devil appeared instead, the girl will remain alone for a long time.

    On the water and the comb

    Divination can be done in two ways:

  • 1. Take a glass of plain water and place it under or next to your bed. Before going to bed, you need to eat something salty, and then go to bed. Before that, you can not talk to anyone. As soon as the fortuneteller lies in bed, she should say: "The betrothed-mummer, come, give me a drink." According to popular beliefs, the betrothed comes in a dream and gives the girl water to drink. If no one came in a dream, it is believed that this year it is too early for her to become a bride.
  • 2. In the second option, you need to take a comb. The main thing is that only a fortuneteller combs them. The subject must be put under the pillow and said: “Narrowed-mummer, come, comb me,” and then go to bed. In a dream, a lover will come and comb the girl.
    • With a mirror

    One of the most dangerous and terrible divination is divination with the help of a mirror. You will need 2 candles of red or white color, as well as 2 mirrors, the same size. Only the fortuneteller should remain in the room. There should be no strangers or animals. The girl needs to remove all jewelry and a cross from herself, dissolve her hair. First, the lights are turned off in the room and only then the candles are lit.

    Mirrors must be placed one opposite the other, candles should be installed on both sides.

    It is necessary to make sure that, looking into one mirror, the girl sees the reflection of the other, that is, the illuminated mirror corridor, and not herself.

    The fortuneteller sits down on her knees in front of the mirror, says: “The betrothed-mummer, come to me,” and begins to peer into the mirror corridor. This is where the divination begins. Sometimes it can take a long time before someone arrives.

    In addition to the narrowed one in the mirror, you can see evil spirits or even a dead person. Therefore, as soon as someone other than the betrothed began to look through the mirror, the girl needs to quickly say: “Chur me! ” and throw a thick cloth over the mirrors. If you do not pronounce the right words in time, a red mark may remain on the fortuneteller's face for life.

    For fate

    You can find out about your fate with the help of threads or a diamond king.

    On the king of diamonds

    The card will be able to answer any exciting question. To do this, before going to bed, you need to hold a card in your hands, ask her a question, and then put it under the pillow.

    In a dream, the answer will surely come. It may not be direct, but expressed by some symbol, which should subsequently be interpreted.

    With the help of threads

    Christmas divination is carried out as follows: five threads are attached to the girl’s back: white, black, red, green and blue flowers. In what order they are attached, the fortuneteller should not know. Then she should remove one thread and look at its value:

    • White - in the coming year, the girl will marry her beloved.
    • Black - you should pay attention to pressing problems.
    • Red - all my life I will be lucky enough to live with my loved one in a complete idyll.
    • Green - the future husband will be rich and of noble birth.
    • Blue - before gaining respect from the outside and fulfilling her dreams, the fortuneteller will shed many tears and overcome many life trials.
    Using tarot cards

    One of the simplest is the alignment of one Tarot card. It can be used if the fortuneteller asks a question, the answer to which can only be “yes / no”, “good / bad”, “to be / not to be”. Remove the Major Arcana from the deck and shuffle them. Then take out one card and look at its value. Direct knowledge of the lasso in this case is ignored. Attention should be paid only to its direct or inverted position.

    If the cards suddenly fell out of your hands, then fortune-telling should be postponed until the next day.

    Good luck with a candle

    Whether the year will be successful, the candle flame will tell. You must be alone in a dark room. Windows and doors must be tightly closed. Only if these rules are observed, the candle is lit. By its flame, you can talk the events of the next year:

    • Bright - indicates damage to success and money.
    • Calm, quiet - a measured life without serious shocks.
    • Dim - loss of luck for an indefinite period.
    • It quickly went out - a series of serious problems and life tests.
    • The candle does not light up - to illness.
    Epiphany divination

    Epiphany fortune-telling is held from January 19 to 20. You can also carry out divination on the eve of Epiphany, on the night of January 18-19.

    For the beloved

    It is allowed to tell fortunes about a loved one even after Baptism, on January 21. Further, such rituals will be considered a sin.

    On towels

    On the evening of January 18, the fortuneteller needs to hang a clean white towel outside and say: “Betrothed-mummer, come, wipe yourself off.” After that, go to bed without talking to anyone.

    In the morning, the girl looks at the state of things. If the towel is slightly damp or even wet, then this year she will become a bride.

    On a mitten

    The fortuneteller needs to take her mitten (not a glove) and, going out into the yard, throw it up with the words: “Should I be a bride this year? »

    If the mitten fell with the thumb up, the girl will get married this year.

    On felt boots

    For fortune-telling, you need a felt boot or boot from the girl’s left foot. The fortuneteller should go to the crossroads at midnight on January 19 and turn her back to her house (or the side from which she came). Then you need to say: “The betrothed-mummer, where can I expect you from? » Throw your shoes over your left shoulder. The sock of the felt boot will indicate the side from which the matchmakers should be expected.

    For this ritual you will need:

    • basin with water;
    • half a walnut shell.

    Papers with inscriptions are attached along the edges of the pelvis: “Wedding”, “Children”, “Money”, “Luck”, “Health”. A church candle is placed in the nut shell. If there is none, you can take an ordinary white candle. The shell is lowered into the center of the pelvis and the question is asked: “What awaits me this year? » To which piece of paper the shell will float, this is to be expected next year.

    If a whole company has gathered for fortune-telling, it can be done in a slightly different way. Instead of predictions, they write the names of the audience. The nut is also lowered into the center and any question is asked. For example: “Who will get married first? ”, “Who is waiting for prosperity this year? ".

    On paper

    What will bring next year, you can find out with the help of paper. You should take a shallow plate, put a crumpled piece of paper on the bottom (you should not take newspaper, because it burns quickly) and set it on fire.

    Bringing the plate to the wall and turning off the light, you can see shadows replacing each other. They are used to interpret.
