And this ritual with shoes is very simple. Take a boot, a felt boot or a shoe, go out on the road in the evening and throw it over your left shoulder onto the road.

The wax drips and figures are created in the water. Half a minute is enough to get a figure.
We take the figure out of the water and consider what it reminds you of, what it associates with. Let your imagination run wild. Associations should arise arbitrarily. What you see is what awaits you this year.

After that, the branches should be set on fire and a bowl with burning branches should be held next to you. At this time, you need to observe the behavior of the flame and note all the changes that occur with it. If the flame burns evenly and does not change its color, then the coming year in the family sphere will be very calm and stable. If the flame crackles and changes color, then very violent events can be expected in this area. Similar conclusions can be drawn by setting fire to branches of other types of trees that are associated with other areas of life.
Ask a housekeeper a question

Analyze if extraneous noises and sounds disturb you at night, it is quite possible that this is a naughty brownie who is dissatisfied with something. Try to appease him by talking to him on various occasions and leaving various sweets on the table for him. After you realize that the brownie is on your side, you can ask him a question about what the coming year will be like for you . After that, pour milk into a saucer and place it near the threshold of the front door. Then you need to melt some wax and pour it into the prepared saucer.

- The shape in the form of a flower predicts an early marriage or the appearance of a loved one in life; The image of the beast foreshadows travel in the coming year; Separate stars indicate that almost all areas of life will be successful.
Reliable divination by a torch
Divination by a torch was considered very reliable. This practice is very popular even today. It is usually held on Vasily's Day, which corresponds to the Old New Year. For the ritual, it is necessary to prepare a birch torch. You need to light it and put a glass of water next to it. After the torch flares up brightly, you need to quickly extinguish it by sharply lowering it into a glass of water. After that, you need to try again to light the torch. If it turned out without difficulty, then the coming year will be prosperous. But if the torch could not be ignited immediately and it began to burn, crackling, then you need to pay attention to your own health. But at the same time, it may well be that your torch is soaked, since you kept it in the water for a long time. Therefore, you should not be upset, and you can try to repeat the ceremony on another holy day.

Then you need to take a silver ring without a pebble, thread a natural thread into it, so that it looks like a pendulum.

In doing so, the following should be noted:- Circular movements mean that soon you will get married; Swinging from side to side portends an early parting; If the ring remains motionless, then the ritual failed and higher powers do not want to give you a hint about your future relationship with the chosen one.
Relationships with candles

Fortune telling can be carried out on any of the holy days, the main thing is that the ceremony is held at midnight. It is necessary to retire in a separate room and, setting a candle on a flat surface, light it at exactly 12 o'clock at night. It is necessary to carefully observe the flame of a candle and distract from any third-party thoughts. Divination can be interpreted as follows:- An even and transparent flame indicates a strong love relationship in the coming year. In case you do not have a loved one, it is very possible that you will meet your destiny in the near future. Light bursts of flame, reminiscent of blinking, indicate that the relationship with your loved one will bring you joy. A bright flame with a clear crackling predicts romantic adventures in the new year. A flame with a reddish tint predicts trouble in the coming year in the field of love relationships. If soot is observed, then love relationships will be overshadowed by everyday problems.
The tradition of Christmas divination has its roots in the distant pagan past. With the adoption of Christianity, divination and magic began to be considered a great sin. Playing with fate, trying to penetrate into the future is a dangerous occupation. It may turn out that the prediction is false, but the person believed in it. So life will not be broken for long for yourself or someone else. However, there are days in the year when all prohibitions are removed, and witchcraft does not bring trouble. This, of course, is Christmas time. In essence, any fortune-telling is a fortune-telling for desires. True predictions - whether they are good or bad - are soon forgotten. Maybe for this reason, once a year, you can inquire about fate - find out the truth and forget.
Christmas time - a time of well-deserved rest and collective entertainment
Fortune telling on cards for desire in Rus' was not very practiced. It is much more interesting to know the future in colorful details - which side the groom will be from, what his name is, what he looks like. These are all girlish questions, and older people were interested in the harvest, the fertility of cattle, the weather in the coming year, and so on. These questions could be answered at Christmas time. When does the Christmas divination start? You can start them immediately after the appearance of a star in the sky, announcing the birth of the Savior.
What young lady, entering adulthood, does not dream of knowing her fate? Fortune-telling for the fulfillment of desires among girls is, first of all, questions about marriage. What lies ahead - wealth or poverty, will there be children in the family, health and prosperity? All this is very interesting!
All year long, hardworking people have a lot of worries: in the spring - sowing, in the summer - mowing, preparing supplies for the winter for the family and cattle, in the fall - harvesting and winter sowing. Christmas time falls on the most serene period - from the Nativity of Christ to Baptism and Water Blessing. After spending a year in labor, in fasting and abstinence in Filippovka, having defended a long solemn Christmas service in the church, the people began fun and festivities, which lasted two weeks. In the daytime, hearty and plentiful food was prepared - borscht, jelly, pies, pies. They made a lot of pies, because Christmas time is visiting, treating, caroling. It gets dark early in winter. Traditional gatherings and entertainment come at sunset, when the Christmas fortune-telling begins.
Christmas time as an occasion to make new acquaintances
Each locality had its own experts in the most reliable methods of prediction. They certainly tried to invite them to their party, because even the simplest fortune-telling for the fulfillment of a wish wants to be painted with more accurate details. The fortune-teller was lured with treats, coaxed with gifts and affectionate words. Experienced soothsayers were a kind of actors. The famous spy prophecies were accompanied by the performance of special tunes, round dances. The girls, when they were going to visit for fortune-telling at Christmas time, dressed up in the most beautiful dresses, their hair was removed with ribbons and colored scarves - after all, there will definitely be young men in the company. During such gatherings, young people got acquainted, had fun, got married, and on Maslenitsa, parents sent matchmakers to get married on Krasnaya Gorka.
Fortune-telling
The most colorful and crowded fortune-telling for a wish at Christmas time took place with the participation of a matchmaker and was called spying. A lot of people usually gathered at such parties, there were both boys and girls. The guests participating in the action put their rings, earrings or other small personal items in a large dish with water, and the matchmaker put bread, salt and ashes in the same place with the appropriate sentence. The youth with the song led a round dance around her. At the end of each verse, the matchmaker with the words "What to be - that cannot be avoided!" took out two items. The hosts took away their belongings, and the action continued until the dish was empty. If a couple of items belonging to two girls or two boys were taken out, then the matchmaker, at her discretion, could put them back, or she could give them to the owners.
There were other variants of spy fortune-telling. In this case, each verse of the song contained a brief description of some event - a wedding, a trip, the birth of a child, wealth, poverty, illness, death - everything that accompanies a person's life and stands out as the most significant. For each story noted in the song, an object was taken out of the dish. The prediction was interpreted in accordance with what was heard
Fortune telling on cards
Christmas fortune-telling is a collective entertainment. It is not interesting to guess on the cards in the company. This is an activity for two, because a fortuneteller usually tells one person for a long time and in detail about his future, past and present, and those around him may get bored at this time. And yet, the demand for this kind of interpretation of fate during this period is very high. Fortune tellers-tarologists write down those who wish to queue for a certain hour, because fortune-telling on cards for a wish using the Tarot deck is not available to many. This is a whole philosophy, but there are simpler ways. Christmas divination on the cards of the French soothsayer Madame Lenormand is much shorter and more accessible. Pictures depicting a ring, a road, rats, a coffin, a child, the sun, a book and other objects and phenomena very clearly demonstrate what the coming year has prepared for the questioner.
You can also learn about marriage from an ordinary playing deck, using court figures, taking into account the suit. This Christmas divination on the cards looks like this. Men guess at kings and jacks. At night, these cards and one lady, denoting the fortuneteller herself, are placed under the pillow. Next, you need to say: “I go to bed on the Zion mountains, three angels in my head. One sees, the other will tell, the third will predict my fate. Everything good will come true, but the bad will not come true and will be forgotten. After that, you can’t talk to anyone until the morning. You must go to bed before midnight. And the next day, immediately after waking up, the first card that comes to hand is taken out. If this is a lady, then the girl will not get married in the next year.
Divination for the betrothed
There is another common and no less simple divination for the desire to find out about the groom. A comb is placed under the pillow, this procedure is accompanied by the following words: "Narrowed-mummer, come to me dressed up, comb your little head." In the morning, there should be hair under the pillow on the comb. By its color, the bride of the groom will recognize.
Unmarried girls hung a towel outside the window at night and said: “Betrothed-mummer, come to me to wash.” If the towel turns out to be wet in the morning, it means that this year the fortuneteller will meet her future husband, and if it remains dry, then you will have to wait for the next year.
Unpretentious fortune-telling on three tea or coffee cups told whether the girl would get married, get a groom, or remain free until next year. Under each cup you need to put a ring, a flower and a ribbon. If the choice falls on a flower, then the girl will meet her betrothed, if the ribbon, then she will be a free bird all year, but if the ring, then everything is clear.
What did family people think about?
Married women, wanting to know what gender the child would be, poured water into a large spoon and froze it. They looked at the morning, and if the ice turned out to be convex, it means that a boy will be born, if it is concave, a girl, and if it remains even, then there will be no addition to the family yet.
Economic people did not forget about and made weather forecasts for the whole year by months. To do this, they took 12 onions and immediately after the Christmas church service they laid them out in a row on the windowsill. All vegetables were sequentially labeled every January 19th and were examined. Wet denoted rainy months, and dry denoted dry weather. In this way, work could be planned, such as repairing the roof or planting plants.
Scary divination
Courageous girls went to tell fortunes in the bathhouse. There, according to legends, there lived a bathing spirit, which on holy days could show the girl her future husband. Bath divination for a wish at Christmas time was carried out at night, when everyone had already gone to bed. The girl took with her two mirrors and a white plate filled with water without a pattern. Having removed all her clothes, except for her shirt, untying the knots and removing the pectoral cross from her neck, she, fortune-telling by the light of two candles, established a corridor from the mirrors. After counting twelve reflections, the girl looked at the plate of water and peered into it. As soon as a face appeared there, she had to immediately turn everything over, and, grabbing the cross, run away from the bathhouse. It was a very dangerous occupation, since the bathing spirit could scare the curious to death and even strangle her if she hesitated. And such cases happened.
The most desperate went to church. Divination by candlelight was carried out as follows. The girls lit candles and placed them in front of the altar. According to the sequence in which they burned, the order of marriage was determined. And by the soot and the crackle of candles, they judged what the marriage would be like.
Divination with fire
Candles were also used for another way of predicting fate. So, they lit a long thin candle and held it tightly, without moving it, over a dish of water until a small cinder remained. Dripping, the wax created a variety of patterns. Their interpretation required remarkable imagination. The help of girlfriends should be counted with caution. After all, each has its own destiny, and they can see something related to themselves, and not to the one who held the candle, and willy-nilly distort the prediction.
There is a very entertaining desire to know the main events of the beginning of the year. The prediction takes place in 3D format. You will need a clean white wall and a large sheet must be crushed into a large soft lump, put on a tin tray and set on fire. The lighting must be turned off, as the image is read by the shadows on the wall cast by the burning paper. To make the divination successful, first try it with a small sample of paper. When you make sure that the shadows are visible well, you can proceed to the main action. This divination by desire is accurate, because subconsciously every person knows his fate, but we do not always know how to use our own intuition.
Divination with glasses
The events of the year can be defined in another way. Take four identical glasses, number and place four elements in them - a ring, salt, bread and sugar. The girl or boy, that is, the one who asks the question, closes his eyes. One assistant spins the fortuneteller around the axis, the other swaps the glasses. Then the questioner is brought to the glasses, and he, without looking, chooses one of them. If there is a ring in it, then there will be a wedding or betrothal, if salt - sorrows, bread - a rich life and good work, sugar - a serene and cheerful year. The one who chose the ring can find out when an important event will happen to him - marriage or engagement. To do this, the glasses are emptied, the person is spun again. Glass number 1 means January, February or March, number 2 - April, May or June, 3 - July, August or September, 4 - October, November or December.
funny divination
Domestic animals also took part in divination. In the old days, they loved the so-called bird fortune-telling. Whether the wish came true or not depended on which paw the chicken or rooster crossed the threshold first: if it was the right one, then the wish would come true, and if it was the left one, then it would not. The bird was frightened by a noisy gathering of strangers, ran away, they poured grains on it, persuaded it to come in.
A company of friends and girlfriends can have a lot of fun if they decide on fortune-telling with a large chest filled with a wide variety of utensils, or a wardrobe. To help the fortune tellers need a child of five or seven years old, who is not very well versed in things. The youth are blindfolded, and the kid takes out various objects from the closet and asks: “Whose is this?” The one who answers: “Mine”, untie his eyes and give the selected item. When all participants are interviewed and endowed with things, you can start interpreting the meaning. Since any Christmas divination applies only to the next year, the main events of this period are determined by subjects for each of the characters. Threads, belts, ties, shoes or a suitcase always portend a journey and travel, the key is the acquisition of real estate or a car, the trousers that a girl got, even if they are women's, promise a new acquaintance with a man, if a young man got a skirt, then he will have a new girlfriend, glasses and bottles indicate many festive feasts with alcoholic drinks, tableware - to communicate with friends and guests, beautiful jewelry and expensive fur - to wealth, socks, slippers, unpresentable things - to poverty, books - to study, weapons symbolize war, toys portend the birth of a child or pregnancy, etc.
Divination by books
To do this, take six folios of different subjects, for example, the Bible, fairy tales, novels and some reference books. The questions are formulated approximately as follows: “What do I need to do or what should I do to fulfill my desire?”, “What will be the most significant for me this year?”, “How will my professional life turn out?”, “What will happen in my personal life? ? Without looking, the volume is taken and opened. Further, still without opening the eyes, the finger indicates the place where the prophetic text is written. It must be read and understood. The subject matter of the book indicates the major concerns of the coming year, and the chosen text is the answer to a direct question.
Modern divination
With the transition of the calendar to a new style, new ways of divination appeared, for example, a wish is made in advance, and under the beat of the Moscow chimes it is written on a sheet, set on fire and thrown into a glass of champagne. During the volleys of fireworks, everyone clinks glasses, hugs and drinks champagne along with the ashes. In order for this New Year's fortune-telling to work, the desire must not only be written and swallowed in time, it is very important that the paper burns completely and the ashes do not wake up on the tablecloth. This ritual usually enlivens the feast very much. Not everyone believes in its effectiveness, so they laugh, looking at how their friends fuss, counting on such magic. With this fortune-telling, the inhabitants of the Kaliningrad region were very lucky. Recently, they have heard the chimes of the Moscow Kremlin and the speech of the President twice, because the New Year comes to them later than everyone else in Russia. Accordingly, fortune-telling on paper for desire is done twice. The second time they are usually better prepared - and matches are at hand, and the paper is not very hard and not too light (so that it burns quickly and does not shatter before it gets into the glass). In general, you can guess for each desire only once, otherwise conflicting answers will appear and you can get confused. Although, if you treat this as a joke, a game, an occasion to have fun, then why not ...
Christmas traditions and rituals are a great occasion to diversify the routine of everyday life, renew communication with old friends, and make new acquaintances. Such traditions should be protected and cherished. Many will say that any magic is a dangerous occupation, it is no coincidence that the church condemns divination and divination for a wish at Christmas time, but you should not take this very seriously and be afraid of such a sin. There are worse things. Take Christmas games with a grain of salt. Our ancestors, having played with fate at Christmas time, on the night of January 18 to 19, plunged into thereby washing away the sins of two festive weeks. After that, ordinary life began with its simple concerns and interests, and Christmas time remained in my memory as a bright and cheerful episode.
Christmastide is the name given to the two weeks of winter holidays, from Christmas Eve, which falls on January 6, to Epiphany, celebrated on January 19. Fortune telling for Christmas is rightfully considered the most truthful and has its roots in the times of pagan Rus'.
During Christmas and Christmas fortune-telling, you can look for only good meaning in all predictions. Bad omens should not be given much importance, otherwise you will set yourself up for failure in the new year.
We have tried to collect the most interesting and reliable Christmas divination, which we hope will help you uncover the secrets of the future.
Christmas divination by barking dogs
At midnight, take a knife, go out into the street, go up 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 will I get, will I have to laugh or cry?”.
After saying the words of the spell, shut up and listen carefully to the barking of dogs. If an angry, jerky bark is heard, it means that the future husband will be strict and gloomy.
If the dogs bark merrily and loudly, then the husband will also be cheerful and kind.
It is very bad if a dog howl is heard during fortune-telling. This suggests that the marriage will be short-lived and very quickly the young wife will become a widow.
Christmas divination on wax (candles)
Take cinders of white wax or paraffin candles (holiday colored candles are not suitable for divination), put them in a metal bowl, melt over a fire and immediately pour into a container of cold water. The figure formed at the same time will predict the future that awaits the fortuneteller.
Interpretation of figures
House - soon acquiring a new economy; for a girl, this is primarily due to her marriage.
Shapeless ruins - misfortune in the near future.
A pit, a small cave or a grotto is the most undesirable figure, since it symbolizes the place of burial and predicts a serious illness or imminent death.
Trees - they can be interpreted in different ways: the upward branches of a tree promise quick joy, drooping - sadness, longing and boredom.
A ring or a candle definitely predicts a quick wedding.
A pancake that has sunk to the bottom, on the contrary, promises a long girlhood.
Fortune telling on wax and milk
Pour milk into a saucer and place on the threshold. Take the cinders of wax candles, put them in a metal bowl and melt them on the fire, saying: "Brownie, my master, come under the threshold to drink milk, eat wax."
Having pronounced the last word of the spell, pour the wax into the milk and carefully examine the resulting figure.
Interpretation of figures
The cross is a disease; if its outlines are fuzzy, then soon you should prepare for a series of minor troubles that will affect all aspects of life.
A blooming flower - a wedding in a year.
Animal - an ill-wisher has appeared in a close environment.
A scattering of small stars - good luck in business.
Stripes with blurry edges - trip, business trip, moving, travel.
The human figure is the imminent appearance of a new friend.
Divination by shadow
Take a newspaper sheet and crumple it well (but do not roll it into a tight ball!). Put the crumpled paper on a plate and set it on fire. When the paper is completely burnt out, put a candle next to the plate and look at the shadow that the burnt newspaper casts on the wall. The meaning of the figures that have arisen is similar to the interpretation of wax figures.
Divination by hair
At midnight, pour water into a bowl and add a pinch of ash, a pinch of sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix the water thoroughly, and when it “calms down”, throw two hairs into it: one is yours, and the other is a loved one. Leave the bowl until morning.
If the next morning the hair is intertwined with each other, then the wedding is just around the corner. If the hair is at some distance from each other, then the hour of separation is near.
A sunken hair predicts a serious illness, and possibly the death of the one to whom it belongs.
Christmas divination by ring
Take an ordinary glass with smooth walls (without a pattern and polishing), pour 3/4 of the volume into it and carefully lower the previously cleaned wedding ring into the middle of the bottom. Looking closely at the very center of the ring, you can see the betrothed. Just to see it, you need to look into the ring for quite some time.
Divination by the log
Go into the woodshed, close the door so that it is dark in the room, and choose a log at random. Bring it into the house and carefully examine it: how it turns out to be golden, so will the future husband.
Divination interpretation
The log is even, with a smooth thin bark - the husband is handsome and young.
The bark is thick, rough - the husband is ugly.
The bark on the log is peeled in places or completely absent - the husband is poor.
Cracked log - the husband will come across old, pockmarked, with a physical defect.
A large log is a strong, strong husband.
Knotty log - the family will be big: each knot is an unborn child.
If the log was not at hand, then any tree in a park, square or forest can replace it.
To do this, you need to blindfold, ask someone you know to "unwind" you, as in the game "cat and mouse", and only after that go in search of the "oracle".
All the characteristics that were given to the log will be valid for the tree.
Fortune telling by egg
Pour water into a glass and pour the raw egg white into it. Put the glass in a heated oven so that the protein curls up. After that, remove the glass and carefully look at the resulting figure.
Interpretation of figures
Church dome or ring - fast wedding.
Rectangle or square - a serious illness, death.
Ship - moving after marriage to another city or country.
A pancake that has sunk to the bottom is a series of adversities and troubles, a long girlhood.
Divination by shoe
Go beyond the outskirts of the village, remove the shoe from the left foot and throw it forward over the shoulder with the toe. Where the sock turns, from there you have to wait for the matchmakers. If the sock looks towards the mistress of the shoe, then next year she should not wait for the wedding.
Fortune telling by rooster
This fortune-telling is collective, therefore, on Christmas Eve or Epiphany Eve, several girls should gather in one room and “count”. Large grains should be scattered on the floor and at exactly midnight a black rooster should be brought into the room. His behavior will be the answer to the question about the future of fortunetellers.
If the rooster pecked all the grains, then next year the one who poured the grains will marry.
If part of the grains still remained on the floor, then the one whose number matches the number of pecked grains will marry.
If the rooster refused to treat at all, then not a single wedding will take place next year, and for all those present, the near future will be overshadowed by many minor troubles and failures.
Fortune telling "Well and bridge"
Pull out a few twigs from an ordinary household broom, build a bridge out of them and put it under the pillow until morning with the words: “Who is my betrothed, who is my mummer, he will take me across the bridge.”
After that, at night in a dream, the girl is likely to see her future husband.
Matches can be used instead of twigs. Build a well out of them and put it under the pillow in the same way with the words: "Narrowed, mummers, come get some water."
Nut shell divination
Pour water into a basin. Attach strips of paper along the edges of the pelvis, on which events are written, for example, a wedding, a trip, receiving money, a new job, etc. (if the fortuneteller is alone), or the names of all those present who want to know their future. In the second case, one event is thought of, in particular, a wedding, engagement, acquaintance with a future spouse, etc.
Take a half of a walnut shell and fix the cinder of a church or birthday candle in it. Light a candle and push the "boat" to the middle of the pelvis. From there, the shell itself should swim to one of the notes. But the wish will come true only if the paper, upon contact with the "boat", ignites from the flame of a candle.
Christmas book divination
In the old days, the Psalter was used as a prophetic book - a liturgical book containing the biblical book of psalms. Now, in the absence of a Psalter in the house, you can take a volume of your favorite writer - Pushkin, Lermontov, Shakespeare or any other.
In order to find out the answer to a question of interest, one must mentally formulate it, guess the line number from the bottom or top, and open the book at random. The answer includes not only the hidden line, but the entire semantic passage in which this line is included.
If the answer found in the book does not lend itself to logical interpretation, then the fortune-telling should be repeated.
Divination in the name of the betrothed
This fortune-telling, widespread and popular to this day, is probably known to everyone.
At midnight, leave the house and ask the first man you meet for his name. This name will be the name of the betrothed.
Christmas divination with a mirror
Fortune-telling with a mirror at Christmas time was considered the most faithful, but at the same time the most dangerous, during which a fortune-telling girl or woman often lost her senses.
The fact is that the mirror, according to ancient beliefs, is a border separating the real world and the world of spirits. There are many signs and customs associated with this. So, for example, according to one of them, a broken mirror certainly promises an early disaster. Misfortune will happen even if you look in the mirror during a thunderstorm. By the way, most of the "thin" signs are connected precisely with the reflection in the mirror. It was strictly forbidden for a woman to look at him at those moments of her life when she could most easily violate the invisible border between the world of the living and the world of the dead: during pregnancy, after the birth of a child and the entire postpartum period, when she was considered “unclean”.
At present, the technology for the production of mirrors has changed: instead of a silver coating, lead is used, which has a very short “memory” and, as a result, is less aggressive. However, until now, old people do not recommend bringing a newborn to the mirror for fear that his fragile soul may split in two and the child will turn into an evil sorcerer or a bloodthirsty vampire.
However, the mirror can also serve as a powerful amulet. The impure force reflected in it immediately loses its magical power and forever loses the ability to harm people.
Fortune telling with a mirror is best in a bathhouse, in an unclean place, and at midnight, when the border marked by a mirror is most permeable. The fortuneteller should be completely alone in the room, loose her hair and remove the belt, if any. On the table you need to put two cutlery, a mirror and a candle. Then the fortuneteller should sit in front of the mirror and say: “Betrothed, mummers, come to dinner with me.”
Exactly at midnight, she will see a man looking over her shoulder. After the fortuneteller examines his face, she must quickly cast a charm spell: “Chur this place!”. After these words, the image of a man will disappear, and the fortuneteller will be out of danger.
A variation of this divination is a ritual with two mirrors that are placed opposite each other so that they repeat their reflections. One of the mirrors must be placed on a table with two candles on the sides. At midnight, light candles, undress, sit on a chair between the mirrors and carefully peer into your reflection. If the mirrors are placed correctly, then the reflections form a long gallery in which the image of the betrothed should appear.
"Broken hearts"
This divination is more like a game, so it is great for friendly Christmas and Christmas parties.
To carry it out, it is necessary to cut out figures in the form of hearts from cardboard. And by the number of them should be two times less than the guests invited to the party. Each of the hearts must be “broken”, that is, cut into halves in the most intricate way, clearly identifying the male and female. Then mix the parts thoroughly and hand them to each guest at the entrance with the wish to find their half.
Christmas divination for love
This fortune-telling is for the lonely, but passionately wishing to meet true love. At midnight, go to the nearest church and walk around it 12 times. It is believed that this ritual destroys loneliness and promotes the emergence of new love.
Divination by flame
Only gypsies, leading a nomadic lifestyle and forced to spend many hours by the fire, could come up with such a method of divination. It is at the same time very simple and very complex, because one who peers into the flame must have a good imagination and partly a philosophical mindset, as well as rich life experience in order to read the fate destined in the dancing tongues of the fire.
In the flame of the same bonfire, several people can see the future at the same time, because everyone will see in it his own prophecy intended only for him.
It is best to use flame divination for yourself, because in this case it will be extremely accurate and less complicated.
If fortune-telling is performed for someone else, then the person must be seated to the left of oneself and “tune in” to him. To do this, take his right hand with both hands and hold it for a few seconds. After that, look closely into the flame and try to see prophetic signs there, symbolizing the events that await a person in the future.
It happens that no real images that can lift the veil over the mystery of being, never arise. In such a case, the gypsies say that big changes await a person in life, but it is still difficult to determine whether they are good or bad.
Christmas divination with a knife
For this type of divination, gypsies use a round wooden board with a diameter of about 30 centimeters to cut bread. If there is no board of this size at hand, then you can take a tray or cut a circle out of cardboard. On the edges of the circle write the answers to the most frequently asked questions:
"Yes",
"No",
"Be patient",
"Caution: next to you is an enemy hiding under the mask of a friend",
"Good news"
"Love Message"
"Good luck in the undertaking",
"Unexpected Guest"
"Love",
"Today's tears will turn into joy tomorrow"
"Unexpected news"
"New love",
"Unexpected meeting",
"Journey",
"Important Letter"
Put an ordinary kitchen knife in the center of the circle and mentally formulate a question. Rotate the knife around its axis three times. One of the three messages, which will show the edge of the knife, and will be the answer to the question asked. The other two may be the cause or effect of the predicted event.
If, after rotation, the tip of the knife stops at an equal distance from two messages, the divination must be repeated.
Divination with needles
Put 21 needles that have never been sewn on a saucer or plate, and slowly pour water into the dishes. Under the influence of water, the eagles will change their original position; according to the current picture, one can promise about the situation in which the fortuneteller is located. So, the number of crosses formed by needles indicates the number of ill-wishers or hostile forces acting against a fortuneteller in the current month.
There is also another version of fortune-telling on needles.
Make a pendulum out of a needle. To do this, thread a red silk thread about 75 centimeters long into it, fold it in half and tie a knot at the end.
Take a coin from a fortuneteller (previously they always took a silver one) and put it on the table. Sit down at the table, put your elbow on it, take the pendulum needle with your fingers by the tip of the thread and direct the tip of the needle to the center of the coin.
The fortuneteller asks a question, the answer to which is the words "yes" or "no", and carefully looks at the pendulum. If the needle stands still without movement, there is no answer to the question yet; if it begins to move in the longitudinal direction, the answer is affirmative, if in the transverse direction, it is negative. If the pendulum moves in circles, the question is clear and should be formulated more precisely.
