Street Christmas fortune telling: fortune telling using felt boots. E.fyipnytpchb

Fortune telling on rice grains
Hold your left hand palm down over a jar of rice and, concentrating, ask a question out loud. Then take a handful of rice from it and pour it onto a spread napkin. An even number of grains is a positive answer. Odd is negative.
Dream fortune telling
Before going to bed, you need to eat something salty, but not drink. When going to bed, they make a wish, saying: “Betrothed, mummer, come to me and give me a drink!” Whoever gives me a drink, you will marry him.
Fortune telling with bulbs
The names of possible candidates for marriage are written on the bulbs. They put them in the water. Whichever bulb sprouts first - on behalf of that one, expect a marriage proposal.
Fortune telling for married people
Water is poured into a glass and the name of the husband’s mistress is written on a piece of paper prepared in advance. A spoonful of salt and a lit candle should also be prepared. Salt is thrown from a spoon into a glass and a sheet of paper with the name of the opponent is immediately lit from a candle. Using a spoon, they quickly mix the salt with the words: “If the salt melts faster, then my husband will not leave me, and the paper burns out - their love will burn out.” Then they look: if the salt has melted, but the paper is still smoldering, it means that your husband will remain with you in the end. If on the contrary, then the husband will leave sooner or later.
Fortune telling on the phone
Think about a question and mentally focus on it. Looking at the phone, ask it out loud. If the first call is from a man, the answer is positive. From a woman - negative.
Fortune telling on glowing windows
Go outside in the evening, when it is already well dark. Mentally ask a question of interest, turning your back to the house. Then turn around and count the luminous windows. An even number indicates a positive answer, an odd number indicates a negative answer.
Fortune telling by an armful of firewood
On New Year's Eve, both girls and boys take an armful of firewood in the dark and carry it into the room to count their number; if the number is even, then the fortuneteller will get married this year, if the number is odd, then they will remain single.
Fortune telling with a tub on your head
On New Year's Eve, the girls go out into the yard and put a tub on the head of one of them, then turn the girl several times in different directions and tell her to go. If a girl goes to the gate, she will get married this year, but if she goes deep into the yard, she will remain a girl.
Fortune telling by name
On Christmastide, the girl took bread or pie and in the evening ran out into the street with it and asked the first man passing what his name was - in the confidence that there would be a husband with that name. There were many different versions of this simple fortune telling - in different provinces, in different villages they asked in different ways: with the first piece in the mouth, with a pancake on the head. Sometimes they asked a passer-by not “What is your name?”, but “What is the name of my betrothed?”. By the way, not only girls, but also single guys were engaged in calling.
Fortune telling with a mitten
They throw a mitten up from the shelf: if it falls upward with the thumb, it means that the one they are waiting for will arrive; if the thumb is turned downwards, then the expected one will not arrive.
Spoon fortune telling
On New Year's night, all family members take a spoonful of water and take it to a cold place, and in the morning they look: whoever's water has frozen with a depression will die, and whoever's water has frozen or has a lump will live in the coming year.
Captain

A few days ago I took part in a felt boot throwing competition. The competition took place within the organization where I work. To be honest, I’ve never done this before and didn’t even realize that there could be such a competition. When I was offered to take part, I doubted whether it was worth it, since I was not confident in my abilities (and I did the right thing - the last place is proof of this), but curiosity took over.

Where did the Russian tradition of throwing felt boots come from?
In ancient Rus' (before baptism), on Maslenitsa, during festive festivities, young boys and girls looked closely at each other. Those who did not find a betrothed on this day did all sorts of fortune-telling (most often on the night of Ivan Kupala). One of the types of fortune telling was the tradition of throwing felt boots, boots or mittens. At the edge of the village they threw a felt boot and where he pointed his nose, the narrowed one would come from there.
Those who had felt boots were considered wealthy. A young girl, in order to attract attention, threw a felt boot at the guy. And if she threw her felt boots into his yard, then matchmakers could be sent. Throwing felt boots and felt boots was done not only on Maslenitsa, but also on Christmas and New Year.
The Church condemns all kinds of fortune telling, so few people have heard of such a tradition. Nowadays, they throw felt boots at a distance for fun. There is also a new type of competition for throwing felt boots for accuracy.

Christmastide are the two weeks of winter holidays, from Christmas Eve, which falls on January 6, to Epiphany, celebrated on January 19. Fortune telling at Christmas is rightfully considered the most truthful. Christmas fortune-telling has its roots in the times of pagan Rus'. It was fortune telling during the winter solstice (and this is the period of Christmastide) that was given special importance in pagan times. It was believed that it was on these days that otherworldly forces were most active, and the boundaries between worlds were thinner, which contributed to a more truthful result of New Year, Christmas and Yuletide fortune-telling.


With the advent of Christianity in Rus', Christmas fortune-telling was not only preserved, but also acquired a more mystical meaning, and although the church tried to fight superstition and fortune-telling, they were carefully passed down from generation to generation, and have survived to this day in a little changed form.


When you decide to tell fortunes for Christmas, remember that the result of fortune telling may not meet your expectations, so is it worth spoiling your holidays...


A huge variety of methods for Christmas fortune-telling have been invented in Rus', but the main theme of all Christmas fortune-telling is fortune telling for the betrothed (groom). This is understandable, because in ancient times, the fate of a girl depended entirely on how successfully she would get married.

Fortune telling (with felt boots) on the “side” you will marry

This is the most famous and widespread type of fortune telling. The girls take turns throwing their felt boots over their backs onto the road and, by the direction of the toe of the fallen felt boots, recognize the direction in which they will get married.

Fortune telling with mirrors

This fortune-telling is well known from literature and is now popular among brave girls.

In ancient times, mirrors were credited with magical properties. The custom of covering mirrors if there is a dead person in the house also reflects this attitude of our ancestors to the magic of mirrors.

Fortune telling is carried out in an empty and quiet room. There should be no one and no sounds. The fortune-telling girl should let her hair down and concentrate completely. She should sit in the dark near two opposite mirrors. Novikov’s painting shows this position of the girl. At midnight, the girl lights two candles placed on the sides of the mirrors and says: “My betrothed, the mummer, show yourself to me” and begins to peer into the gallery of reflections, hoping to see her groom. You can sit in front of mirrors for a long time, or you can see your betrothed right away.

Fortune telling in a new house

You can only guess in the house where you spend the night for the first time. Only then is fortune telling considered correct. Before going to bed, you should cross yourself three times and go to bed with the words: “I’m sleeping in a new place, I dreamed of the bridegroom.” The man you dream about will be your fiance.

Fortune telling on straw

Fortune telling on straw is most interesting when there are many people present. Exactly at midnight, gather in one room, light a candle and start guessing. To find out the name of your betrothed, put straw knocked into a lump on the table, place a frying pan on this lump, put a stone on the frying pan and pour a little water. Then each of the girls should slowly pull out a straw and the name of the betrothed should be heard by the sounds made by the stone when it vibrates in the frying pan. During fortune telling, there should be absolute silence in the room.

Fortune telling (with burning a thread) for the speed and order of marriage

A simple and visual fortune telling, which is still popular in our time. It consists in the fact that girls cut threads of the same length (it is better to take thicker threads) and set them on fire at the same time. The threads must be held by one end, the other must be lowered down and set on fire. Whoever's thread burns out first will be the first to be married. The order in which the threads burn in the hands of the girls will show the order in which they get married. If someone’s thread goes out immediately or the thread burns out by less than half, then this girl will not get married.

Fortune telling (with a ring or needle) about the gender of the unborn child

Certain actions are performed with a ring or a needle: the ring is lowered into a glass of water, the needle is pierced into woolen fabric, then, suspended by a hair or thread, it is slowly lowered near the hand of the one being told fortunes. If an object (ring, needle) begins to make circular movements, a girl will be born (less often, a boy), if it is pendulum-shaped, it will be a boy (less often, a girl), if the object does not move, there will be no children.

Fortune telling (with choice of subject) for the “quality” of life

Objects are hidden in a bag, cup or felt boot, then the girls choose their felt boot or bag. The choice of an object symbolizes life in the coming year: ash - a bad life, sugar - a sweet life, a ring - getting married, an onion - for tears, a glass - drunkenness, a golden ring - a rich life, etc., you can invent and modify the fortune telling with your own options .

Fortune telling with a rooster for the betrothed

Several plates or bowls are taken, grain is poured into one plate (or money is placed), water is poured into another, a mirror is placed nearby, and sometimes a chicken is brought. A rooster approaching a mirror symbolizes the beauty and tenderness of the future groom; if a rooster approaches grain or money - his wealth; if a rooster approaches a hen, it means he will be a “womanizer”.

Fortune telling with matches

Two matches are inserted into the sides of the matchbox and lit. If the burnt heads are facing each other, it means that the “given” guy and girl will be together. If the match heads are pointing in different directions or have fallen off, then no.

Fortune telling (by barking dogs) about the age of the groom

At midnight, take a knife, go outside, go to a snowdrift 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, will I have to laugh or cry?”

After pronouncing the words of the spell, shut up 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;
  • hoarse barking promises an old groom;
  • shrill barking - the groom will have a bad character;
  • ringing bark - young;
  • if the dogs bark cheerfully and loudly, then the husband will be cheerful and kind;
  • It’s very bad if you hear a dog howling during fortune telling. This suggests that the marriage will not last long and very quickly the young wife will become a widow.

Fortune telling "Well"

To carry out this fortune telling, you need a well. If a girl lives in a village and has a well with a lockable roof, then this is an ideal option. If you do not have such a well at your disposal, then you should make a symbolic well. To do this, you can use matches, toothpicks, and other sticks. Building a well is quite simple. Make a square out of the sticks, placing the ends of the sticks on top of each other and so make several rows. Take a thimble, pour some water into it and place it next to the well. In villages, girls can pour water into a bucket and place it near a real well. Lock a real well with a real key made from sticks, “lock” it with any key, making the appropriate movement with your hand, and put the key under your pillow. When you go to bed, say: “Betrothed-mummer, come to me to drink some water at the well, ask me for the key.” Your betrothed will come to you in a dream to drink water from your well.

Fortune telling by shadows

This type of fortune telling, due to its simplicity and clarity, is very common among modern girls. The girl sets fire to a sheet of paper crumpled by her hand, and then looks at the shadow of the burning paper on the wall - this is the first stage of fortune telling, even at this stage quite clear images can arise.

Everyone takes a blank sheet of paper, crumples it, puts it on a dish or on a large flat plate and sets it on fire. When the sheet burns or almost burns, it is displayed on the wall with the help of a candle - this is the second and main stage. By carefully examining the shadows, they try to find out their future from the images of the shadows.

Fortune telling with a ring to evoke the image of the future groom

Take an ordinary glass with smooth walls, a flat bottom and no pattern, pour water into it 3/4 full and carefully lower the wedding ring into the middle of the bottom. The ring must be pre-washed in running water so that it does not carry the information of its owner. Looking closely at the very center of the ring, saying the words: “My betrothed, come to me,” you can see the betrothed. To see it, you may have to look into the ring for quite a long time.

Fortune telling with inducing a dream about a betrothed

We write the young man's name on a piece of paper, put it on a small mirror and under the pillow, or put three bay leaves under the pillow. On one they write - “Ananias”, on the other - “Azarius” and on the third - “Misail” and say the spell: “From Monday to Tuesday I look at the windowsill, whoever dreams about me, let him dream about me.”

They tell fortunes on the night from Monday to Tuesday. Take a spruce branch and place it at the head of the bed overnight. At the same time they say: “I go to bed on Monday, put a spruce tree at my head, if I dream of someone who thinks about me.” Whoever dreams is the one who loves you.

They tell fortunes on the night from Thursday to Friday. Going to bed, they say: “Thursday with Wednesday, Tuesday with Monday, Sunday with Saturday. Friday is alone and I, young, alone. I am lying on the Zion Mountains, three angels in my heads: one sees. Another will say, the third will indicate fate.”

Girls tell fortunes if they go to bed where they never had to before. Before going to bed they say: “In a new place, dream of the bridegroom.” You will see your fiance in a dream.

Cartomancy

Before going to bed, they put four kings 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, the groom will be an old man and jealous, the king of hearts means young and rich, the king of the cross - expect matchmakers from a military man or businessman, and the king of diamonds - from the desired one.

Fortune telling for relatives

They go to look at their neighbors' windows during dinner. If they see the heads of those sitting at the table, they foretell to themselves that the future relatives will all be alive; if they don’t see the heads, then a misfortune must happen to the relatives.

Melt the wax in a mug, pour milk into a saucer and place it at the threshold of your apartment or house. Say the following words: “Brownie, my master, come to the threshold to drink milk and eat wax.” With the last words, pour melted wax into the milk. Now watch what is happening carefully.

  • If you see a frozen cross, some illnesses await you in the new year.
  • If the cross only appears, then in the coming year your financial affairs will not go very well, and in your personal life you will be overcome by troubles, but not too serious.
  • If a flower blooms, get married or find a loved one.
  • If an animal appears, be careful: you will have some kind of enemy.
  • If the wax flows in stripes, roads and crossings await you.
  • It will appear like stars - expect good luck in the service, in your studies.
  • If a human figure is formed, you will gain a friend.
  • House - soon acquiring a new household; For a girl, this is primarily due to her marriage.
  • Shapeless ruins are a sign of misfortune in the near future.
  • A pit, a small cave or a grotto is the most undesirable figure, since it symbolizes a burial place and predicts a serious illness or imminent death.
  • Trees - they can be interpreted in different ways: upward-pointing tree branches promise quick joy, drooping branches - sadness, melancholy and boredom.
  • A ring or candle definitely predicts an imminent wedding.
  • A pancake that has settled to the bottom, on the contrary, promises a long girlhood.

On the bulbs

Take several bulbs and mark each of them. These bulbs are planted in the ground: the one that sprouts first, that girl will get married ahead of the others.

Around the ring

Pour 3/4 of water into an ordinary glass glass with a flat bottom, without any designs, and carefully lower the wedding ring into the middle of the bottom. Then they look through the water into the middle of the ring, where the image of the betrothed should appear.

Throw the ring on the floor. If it rolls towards the door, it means the girl is getting married soon, and the man is going on a business trip. Can be interpreted as leaving home.

Calling out to passers-by

Go out into the street at midnight and ask the name of the first person you meet. This is exactly what your betrothed will be called, this is exactly how he will be handsome and rich.

Eavesdropping

You climb under your neighbors window and, naturally, listen. If they have a showdown with breaking dishes, you can expect a “fun” year. If there is silence in the house, your year will be harmonious. Depending on what is happening in the neighbors' house at the time of eavesdropping, the coming year will shape up for you.

Fortune telling by wood chip

Pour water into a basin. Attach strips of paper to the edges of the pelvis, on which events are written, for example, a wedding, a trip, receiving money, a new job, etc. (if there is only one fortuneteller), or the names of all those present who want to know their future. In the second case, one event is planned, in particular a wedding, meeting a future spouse, etc.

You need to take a dry sliver, preferably deciduous wood, and fasten on it the stub of a candle that was burning in the house where the fortune telling takes place. Light the candle and push the “boat” to the middle of the pelvis. From there, the sliver should itself float to one of the notes. Whichever note floats to, that event will happen. If the sliver turns over or sinks, then the event you envisioned will not happen next year.

Fortune telling on an egg

Take a fresh egg, make a small hole in it and carefully pour the contents into a glass of water. When the protein curls, you need to guess your future based on the shape it takes. The sight of a church means a wedding, a ring means an engagement, a cube means a coffin, a ship means a business trip (for a man) or the return of a husband from a business trip (for a woman). If the protein sinks to the bottom, there will be a fire in the house.


Fortune telling on logs

You need to approach the woodpile backwards and select a log by touch. If it is even, smooth, without knots, the spouse will come across with an ideal character:

  • the log is thick and heavy - the husband will be wealthy,
  • there are many knots - a family will have many children,
  • crooked log - the husband will be askew and lame or angry,
  • the log is even, with smooth thin bark - the husband is handsome and young,
  • thick, rough bark - ugly husband,
  • the bark on the log is peeled off in places or completely missing - the husband is poor,
  • cracked log - the husband will come across old, pockmarked, with a physical disability,
  • a large log is a strong, strong husband,
  • a knotty log means the family will be large: each knot is a future child.

Fortune telling with a cat

Make a wish, call your cat. If she crosses the threshold of the room with her left paw, her wish will come true. If it’s on the right, it’s not destined.

Fortune telling by book

It is best to take a book of spiritual content, you can, for example, the Bible, without opening it, guess the page number and line at the top or bottom, then open it and read it in the guessed place. They interpret what they read in accordance with what interests the fortuneteller most of all.

Concentrate on what interests you at the moment. Try not to let anything distract you from the subject of fortune telling.

Christmas fortune-telling in Rus' is a very ancient tradition. In fact, it appeared even before the advent of the Christian faith, and, of course, it was not called Christmastide, but on the eve of some pagan holidays, for example, Ivan Kupala, fortune telling for the betrothed or betrothed was an integral attribute of the pre-holiday night.

Since the baptism of Rus', these customs have changed little, except that they are now timed to coincide with the winter holidays of the Nativity of Christ and Epiphany. The Church does not approve of the tradition of Christmas fortune-telling, but does not interfere: human belief in miracles through a randomly predicted future is still very strong. And these miracles happen from time to time, what can we hide. Our grandmothers still tell us how they met their fiancés at Christmas time and they lived together in harmony, because the Lord himself blessed the meeting. And looking at the contentedly grinning grandfather, I don’t want to argue.

Nowadays, no one forbids fortune-telling during Christmas time, although it has become somewhat more difficult to do this: try to provide the atmosphere of distant snow-covered villages in a modern metropolis. For example, fortune telling with felt boots is so popular among our grandmothers. It would seem that it would be easier - I left the house on Christmas Eve, took off my felt boots and threw it over the fence as best I could. And then you run to see in which direction he lay his toe - from there, wait for your betrothed. True, if you look into the forest, you might even lure the devil to the threshold - in this case you need to pray for the rest of the night before Christmas. And if you are buried in the snow, then, alas, there will be no meeting this year. It happens that felt boots end up on future grooms, especially if they stick out under the fences all Christmas time. In this case, you need to quickly ask the victim of domestic shoe production for his name, so that he certainly doesn’t go anywhere.

But how to do this in modern urban conditions? There are few fences, mostly concrete, under which stray dogs or people of unknown residence often sleep. Country felt boots are also not easy to get; to be honest, it’s a pity to throw away new winter boots, and it’s undignified to throw away old shoes. Again, why the hell should we wait if it takes about an hour to get to the nearest forest by car?

Of course, for the sake of Christmas fortune-telling, you can go to the village, and this will be the best solution to the problem - you will visit your grandmother and have a good time. Well, what if it doesn’t work out?

Modern technologies do not stand still here either, inviting us to turn to such an option as fortune telling for the groom’s name using felt boots.

On Christmastide, you don’t have to go out at all, but go online and guess as much as your heart desires. So you can throw a felt boot over the fence with complete impunity, and in return you can find out the name of the future groom. And no one will get hurt, and we definitely won’t stumble upon the devil. Moreover, if you don’t like the name, you can throw it until a suitable one comes up. In general, it’s good entertainment, especially if you get together with your friends on a winter evening, brew mulled wine, light candles and tell fortunes to everyone, even to the most sophisticated taste. The Universe and the Lord God will certainly approve of your idea.
