The whole year, because it is at this magical time that there is a chance to look into the unknown and find out whether the beauty is destined to go down the aisle this year or will have to wait another year, another.

Epiphany ancient divination on suitors

Throw your boot

You need to take a boot, go out the gate (in the city there may be an exit from the entrance) and throw it into the street. In which direction the toe of the shoe points - the groom will appear from there and the bride will leave her home there. But if the sock rested on the house, you will have to walk in girls for another year.

Epiphany fortune-telling "7 glasses of desires"

IN Epiphany Christmas Eve take seven glasses, put in each item-symbol. For example, salt (tears, sadness), sugar (sweet life), bread (full life), coin (wealth), ring (marriage), match (child), grain (hard work). Then, without looking, swap the glasses, line them up and choose your prediction for the year.

Stranger in the mirror

The most terrible and mysterious baptismal divination on the night of January 18-19. Experienced people advise not to feel the nerves of the especially tender and impressionable, because what they see in the mirror can be very scary! Place two mirrors opposite each other and light the resulting corridor with two candles. Now wait! At the end of this “tunnel”, after some time, your betrothed should appear. Although you can never say for sure who will look out to you from the magical corridor!

Find out the name of the betrothed

How do you want to know the name of the betrothed! Go outside and ask the first man you meet what his name is. According to popular legend, your fiance will look like this stranger, in addition - he will have the same name!

Epiphany divination "Boat of fate"

Pour water into a bowl and light a candle in nutshell. Lay out the leaves with male names folded in half along the edges of the bowl. Swipe around the "boat" three circles with a spoon in the water counterclockwise and light the candle. The boat will swim up to the leaflet with the name of the groom.

Epiphany divination with spruce branches

Before midnight, prepare a medium-sized mirror and a few spruce branches. Before going to bed, put a mirror under the bed, spread spruce branches around it. Write your deepest desire on the mirror. If in the morning the inscription on the mirror disappears, then your wish will come true.

Epiphany divination on straw

The girls stood with their backs to the omet and chose one of the straws hanging from above, throwing their heads back. The straw you liked had to be firmly grasped with your teeth and carefully pulled out. If an ear turned out to be at the other end, it means that the girl will marry a rich man, but if the ear breaks, it means that she will grieve with the poor all her life. Therefore, they tried to pull the straw slowly so that the ear would not break.

It was possible to tell fortunes on tangled straw. Several girls got together and kneaded, fluffed up a pile of straw brought into the house. A straw ball was placed on the table, and a frying pan with water was placed on it, at the bottom of which lay a stone. Then each girl pulled out a straw for herself. This was not so easy to do, because all the straws were heavily twisted and pulled out with difficulty. Straw rustled, water splashed over the edge, and a stone scraped along the bottom of the pan. The girls listened to these strange sounds and guessed human speech in them.

Epiphany fortune-telling for a large and noisy company was different. The fortuneteller took an even number of straws (at least six) and tied them into a bundle. Then, in pairs, he tied the ears of corn at one end, and at the other - straws. Then the bundle was untied in the middle and looked what happened. If straws connected in pairs formed a continuous ring, the fortuneteller was in for a big fortune. If an open chain or several separate rings came out, then expect trouble in the new year.

Epiphany fortune-telling

Fortune telling on incense should be done alone on Epiphany Christmas Eve or in the evening on the night of January 18-19. At about 12 o’clock, lock the door, lower the curtains, lay a clean tablecloth, put two appliances on the table, light a candle, sit at the table in front of one of the appliances, put a piece of incense on both plates and start reading a fortune-telling plot, while right hand then from one device, then from another, take a piece of incense on the table, and put the other under the pillow. Go to bed, the dream will be prophetic: what you were guessing about, you will see.

They get along with incense in the church,
At home, they are ruled by disease,
Under Baptism, they guess at him.
Incense, incense, it would be alright
You tell fortunes, find out the whole truth.
How are you, incense-father,
Pure, holy and honest, so
And my dream be true. Amen.

The most correct thing, despite all kinds of baptismal fortune-telling and predictions, is to come to church, light a candle and say: “Lord, if there is my soul mate that pleases you, let it be with me” or “Lord, remove all unnecessary ones and send the one you need” . And it will definitely come, this half will appear. Even if you have to wait a little for this.

If the problem of the groom is not the only thing that worries you, or you are also married for a long time, then you can get answers to the most burning questions.

To do this, you need to tie a ring on a thread, take the thread by the other end and rest your elbow on the table, hold the ring over the candle flame and mentally ask him any questions. If the answer is yes, the ring will begin to swing towards you - away from you, and if negative - from right to left.

Epiphany divination on the elevator

Pretty simple and not complicated guessing. To do this, you need to leave the apartment on the middle floor (lower and upper floors exclude). Make a wish. Wait for someone to call the elevator. If the elevator goes up - the desire will be fulfilled, down - no.

Painting the future with wax

Melt the wax and pour it into a pre-prepared plate of water. You can pour the wax several times until a pattern forms on the bottom of the plate. He will tell you what is waiting for you.

The wax has broken up into small droplets - this portends wealth. Large figures are interpreted in terms of form and associations:

Fan - difficulties in work, tension in the team;
- grapes - good luck and happiness in personal life;
- mushroom - health and long life;
- the figure of a dragon - something good in life: achieving a goal, fulfilling a dream;
- a bell always means news. Smooth on all sides - good, crooked - bad, and several bells mean alarm;
- a leaf from a tree - they envy you and weave intrigues behind your back;
- the monkey promises betrayal, false friends and lies;
- pants portend a quick choice on the path of life.

If a figure resembling an apple is formed from wax, take a closer look - the smoother it is, the better sign if the apple turns out to be crooked - in the future a temptation awaits you, which should be abandoned.

The egg has always symbolized new life, whether it's either the birth of a child or a change in life. In any case, it will be something new and experienced.

This type of fortune-telling, due to its simplicity, is very common in the modern girlish environment. The girl sets fire to the crumpled paper sheet, and then examines the shadow of the burnt paper. Each takes a clean 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 down or almost burns out, it is displayed on the wall with the help of a candle. Carefully examining the shadows, they are trying to find out the future.

Epiphany divination by things

A variety of items are laid out on a clean table, symbolizing different professions. Previously, these were coal (blacksmith), stone (builder), bread (peasant), keys (merchant), book (pop), cap (official) and so on. Now you can add a few more to these items, for example: a disk or flash drive (computer), credit card(banker), tie (boss), Constitution (lawyer), and be sure to add to the collection wedding ring. The fortune-teller girl is blindfolded, and her friends mix the items on the table. The fortuneteller makes three attempts. It is believed that if she draws the same thing at least twice, then her husband will really have such a profession. If she gets an engagement ring in her hands, then this year she will definitely get married.

Be sure to guess at Baptism! Because baptismal fortune-telling is the most truthful. If you prophesy yourself a beautiful betrothed, then everything will come true!

The great holiday, which is traditionally celebrated on January 19, is considered very powerful, and all baptismal divination is completely true. Moreover, the laziest do not even need to do anything, just mentally ask a question before going to bed, which will certainly be prophetic. And for those who are interested in various rituals, an exciting night full of secrets and curious knowledge awaits.

Rite rules

If a girl decides to perform a ceremony, then she should know about some rules that are typical for almost all fortune-telling:

  • an ideal place for an event would be a non-residential premises: a bathhouse, a barn, a canopy, an attic, or at least a room with access to a balcony;
  • leaving the house, you can not tell anyone exactly where you are going;
  • in the room where the ceremony is held, there should not be any animals, especially cats;
  • a fortune-telling girl must definitely take off her belt, crosses and untie all the knots on her clothes, let her hair down;
  • if fortune-telling is carried out for a dream, then a candle is placed at the head;
  • it is best to wait until dark when the lights come on in the windows.

These rules are more than a dozen years old, and even if today they are not treated with such gullibility as they used to be, it’s still not worth ignoring the instructions of grandmothers, because they definitely knew more than us.

Did you know?The most truthful type of fortune-telling in the 18th-19th centuries was considered fortune-telling on a crystal ball. However, only representatives of the aristocratic nobility could use such a service, since the salons were quite expensive.

Divination on the night of Epiphany for the betrothed

For young girls no more interesting question than the question of their future husband. They look out for their betrothed in mirrors, dreams, and even in the reflection on the water, although besides this there are many other ways to find out about their soulmate. Let's consider some of them.

On a shoe (boot)

This is probably one of the most ancient and common ways to find out from which side the groom will come to the bride. All that is required of the girl is to take off one shoe (or boot) and, having gone beyond the threshold of the house, throw it through herself into the street. Where the toe of the shoe is turned, in that direction she will marry. If the shoe rests with its toe against a building or other obstacle, then this year you should not expect matchmakers.

In a dream

In order for the betrothed to come to you during sleep, before going to bed, comb one side of the head, and leave the other uncombed, saying "My betrothed, mummers, comb me." According to legend, on the night of January 19, many women really saw their future husbands.

Another version of "sleepy" divination requires the construction of a well of sticks or simply placing a container of water under the bed. The fortune-telling girl takes any key and pretends to lock the well, after which she puts the key under her pillow saying: “Betrothed-mummers, come to water the horses, but do not forget to ask me for the key.”

Mirrors and candles

Divination for Baptism with the use of mirrors and candles is considered the most mystical, because you never know exactly what will appear in the mirror. If you are too serious about this rite or are particularly impressionable, then it is better not to resort to it, otherwise what you see in the reflection may scare you.

When preparing for divination, it is necessary to place two mirrors in parallel so that the reflecting sides are directed at each other, and place candles between them on both sides so that they form an illuminated corridor.

After some time, the same betrothed will appear at the end of the resulting tunnel, although you never know for sure who exactly will appear from the magical world. Given the mystical power of mirrors, one must be very careful with them so as not to accidentally disturb the dark forces.

Finding a stranger

The most simple and harmless fortune-telling. In order to find out what her husband's name will be, the girl leaves the house and asks for the name of the first man she met. According to folk beliefs, her betrothed will be called in the same way, and it is likely that he will even outwardly look like a stranger he met.

Walnut shell boat

Another way to find out the name of the future spouse is based on the use of a nutshell. Pour water into a small container and place a shell with a small candle inside. Along the edges of the selected bowl, place pieces of paper folded in half with male names written on them and draw around the makeshift boat three times with a spoon through the water (against the clock). After that, you need to light a candle and see which leaf the shell will float to.

Important!Water should be driven as carefully as possible so as not to touch the shell with a spoon, otherwise fortune-telling will be considered untrue.

Fortune telling

In addition to unmarried girls, married women, and sometimes even men, also want to know their future. Of course, fortune-telling about the betrothed in this case will be inappropriate, so we offer you the following group of possible rituals that help you find out the fate of a person.

On a chain

Gold jewelry has always been endowed with a special mystical power, many possibilities were attributed to them. It was believed that gold can evoke love feelings and even tell about the near future of its owner, as it is saturated with its energy while wearing. That is why fortune-telling on a gold chain was relevant even in the time of our grandmothers.

This ceremony is best done late at night, when all the household members are asleep. The fortuneteller needs to sit down at the table and take the howling chain and rub it in his hands for a while (it should feel warm). After that, hold the jewelry in the fist of your right hand, shake it and throw it on the table. The product should form into a certain figure, which they are trying to interpret.

Interpretations may be as follows:

  • circle - difficulties awaiting a person in the near future, a problem that is difficult to solve;
  • a solid flat strip - symbolizes luck in the near future;
  • tangled tangle - life's difficulties, possibly illnesses;
  • triangle (appears infrequently) - a huge success in any endeavors, in particular in amorous affairs;
  • bow - a harbinger of an imminent wedding;
  • a snake is a warning about possible betrayal by relatives or acquaintances, so next year you should not particularly trust anyone;
  • the heart is a sign that you are loved, and this love can bring peace and tranquility to your soul.

Important!Before starting fortune-telling, be sure to remove the cross, icon or other religious symbol from the chain and draw a circle around you with it.

Mirror and carafe with water

A very simple divination that does not require long preparation. To conduct the ceremony, you only need a glass decanter with water, candles lit on three sides of it and a mirror located behind the vessel. You need to look into this mirror through the decanter, and what you see there will come true in the near future.

7 glasses

In this case, you will need 7 identical glasses and symbol objects placed on them. For example, salt will mean sadness and tears, sugar - a sweet life, bread - satiety, a coin - material well-being, a ring - an early marriage, a match - the birth of a child, a grain - hard work.

After that, close your eyes and swap the glasses so that it is difficult to determine their contents. By choosing one of them on a whim, you will receive a prediction for the whole next year.

Fir branches and a mirror

Before midnight on January 18, prepare a medium mirror and 3-4 sprigs of spruce. Before going to bed, all this must be placed under the bed, but only so that the branches are on all sides of the reflective object. On top of the mirror surface, you should write your own cherished desire(you can use a marker), and if in the morning it disappears or is poorly visible, then you can hope for the speedy execution of your plan.

Fortune telling on straw

This baptismal divination is not particularly suitable for urban conditions, but once it was quite popular in the villages. The girl who wanted to know her fate had to stand with her back to the whirlpool and, throwing her head back, choose one of the straws hanging from the pile. The selected straw was firmly grasped by the teeth and gently pulled out. If, on the other hand, there was a spikelet on it, then prosperity awaited her ahead with a rich husband, and a bare straw indicated poverty and life with a poor man.

In order not to break off the spikelet, they deliberately tried to pull it very slowly. As an alternative, you can tell fortunes on tangled straw. To do this, several girls need to get together and take a bunch of straw and try to beat it as hard as possible. Then the straw is thrown on the table, and a frying pan filled with water with a stone in the middle is placed on top.

Each girl in turn pulls out one straw and tries to make out the sounds coming from the stone that scrapes the bottom of the pan. In the old days, in these strange sounds, our grandmothers distinguished ordinary words with parting words for the coming year. For a company of several people, such fortune-telling on straw is also suitable.

The fortuneteller must take an even number of straws (at least six) and tie them into a tight bundle. From both ends, all the straws (with and without ears) must be additionally tied in pairs, so that after untying the bundle, see what happened. If the couples form a solid ring, then next year the fortuneteller will be successful, and if they form into a broken chain or a pair of separate rings, then you will have to prepare for trouble.

Divination by wax

For fortune telling with wax, you will need a wax candle and a small container of water. Light a candle and tilt it over a plate so that the wax drips onto the water, forming a certain pattern.

Important!You can speed up the process by pouring a large amount of melted wax into a bowl at once so that it forms a pattern not on the surface of the water, but on the bottom of the plate itself.

Small drops of spreading wax portend imminent wealth, and large figures should be interpreted in terms of shape and resemblance to known objects. For example:

  • fan - portends problems at work;
  • grapes - promises good luck and prosperity in family life;
  • mushroom - indicates good health And long years life;
  • dragon - achieving the desired, the realization of the plan;
  • a bell is news, and if it has all the edges even, then it will be good, and if there are bumps, bends and curvature, you should expect bad news (if there are several figures of bells, you can judge that the fortuneteller has anxiety);
  • a leaf from a tree - next to a fortuneteller there are envious people weaving intrigues behind his back;
  • monkey - betrayal, lies and the presence of falsehood in relationships with friends and acquaintances;
  • pants - the upcoming life choice.

To do this, you need to hang the ring on a thread in the same way, only place it not over the stomach, but over the right hand, while holding it in the left. All fingers should be spread apart, and the ring itself should first be passed three times between the index and thumb and only then placed over the center of the palm. If it spins in a circle - a girl, moves from side to side - a boy.

Once you understand what exactly the jewelry does, put it between your fingers again three times and do the same. This continues until the ring stops moving over the hand. How many times she moved, so many children a woman will have.

Did you know? It is the man who is responsible for the sex of the unborn child, since the female egg always carries only the X chromosome, while the male egg can be divided into X and Y chromosomes, which are responsible for the birth of a girl or a boy, respectively.

Sometimes the answer to the question “who will be born?” can be obtained in a dream. Going to bed on the night of January 19, mentally ask it to your guardian angel. Whoever dreams - he will be born.

There is also a variant of a similar fortune-telling, when the answer to the question posed to the angels is expected within a week, and you can find out about it not only during sleep.

handful of grain

Fortune telling on cereal grains is one of the simplest and most accessible at any time, so it is not surprising that on Epiphany night it becomes even more relevant. To find out how many children you will have, you need to mentally ask yourself this question, with an assumption about the number of babies, and then take it out with your left hand liter jar a handful of cereals and count the grains. If there are an even number of them, then you guessed it, and an odd number - you have to try again.

Water mug and ring

Pour water into an ordinary mug (not to the brim and better than a saint), tie a thread (preferably red) to the ring and lower the jewelry into the water, while mentally asking yourself the question: “How many children will I have?”. Now carefully remove it and place it next to the wall of the cup, holding the thread. The ring will move and easily knock on the edge of the container, how many times it touches, the woman will have so many babies.

To believe or not to believe in all these fortune-telling is a personal matter for everyone. But do not take them too seriously, treat them better as entertainment - and then if the prediction does not correspond to reality, you will not be disappointed.

It is necessary to stand up so that the left swing falls in the direction of the doors.

Release the chicken and observe which item it goes to first. If it is water, the husband will turn out to be a drunkard, if holy water is a good Christian, who does not drink and does not walk, for bread - there will be a breadwinner and breadwinner, for gold - rich, for jewelry or copper - you will barely make ends meet.
If a lot of people participate in fortune-telling, then everyone lays out their own items brought from home. The meaning is the same, but plus one more - whose things the chicken comes to first, she will marry before anyone else.
This fortune-telling for a future marriage often comes true, so be careful with fortune-telling and do not tempt fate. If a drunkard husband falls out, it’s better not to risk it and go through the whole year as a girl. And then tell fortunes for a new chosen one on the next Christmas Eve.

And if the ring did not come across, then this year you should not expect changes.

Divination for marriage

This divination allows you to find out what this year promises you. They took three things: a hat or other headgear, a piece of bread and a small plank. This was all put into one large container and mixed thoroughly. Then they closed it, blindfolded it, made three turns and then pulled out the first thing that came to hand. If this is a headdress - marriage this year, bread - you will walk in girls for another year, a tree - some unpleasant event in the family or relatives will happen - illness or death.

Divination for the future
A basin is taken, water is poured into it and placed on the table. Events are written on paper strips of the same size (engagement, travel, wedding, addition to the family, etc.) and laid out around the pelvis at the same distance.

A small candle is placed in half of the nut shell and lit, lowering it into the middle of the basin. Next, you need to wait until the shell approaches any edge and read the event near which it will be - then it will come true.

Divination for the betrothed
On the Epiphany evening, the girls guessed at the future husband by wedges or fence slats. In a modern way, you can guess by the cars parked in the yard. Passing by, the girl counted the bars, saying: “Rich, poor, widower, bachelor.” According to the last bar, on which the rhyme stopped, they judged which husband would fall.
