Simple divination for Christmas at home. Divination on a gold chain. Guessing on the croup.

Magic comes to life in the cold, when the thin line between our world and the other world is best felt. Although this statement is debatable, it has the right to exist, like the ritual of divination in winter holidays- bright, mysterious, magical. At that time, even the church changes its anger for mercy towards fortune-tellers, since it is believed that from Christmas to Baptism, the impure forces will weaken, and the heavens will open, which makes the ability to predict fate cease to be a demonic occupation.

When can you guess?

It is believed that Christmas Eve (the evening before the holiday) is the best time to feel the winter magic. It is then that astral spirits and ghosts penetrate the physical world, making contact and reporting the facts of our future. Therefore, everyone is trying to look beyond the veil of years, lifting the veil of mystery with the help of Christmas fortune-telling. It happens in the evening-night from January 6 to January 7.

Another suitable period of winter attempts to look into your future is the period between January 8 and January 18. AT given time they also guess, recognizing their betrothed (name, hair color, character, estate), an early or distant wedding, the number of children, a successful or unsuccessful marriage.

Vasiliev's evening was recognized as special, when the result is highly accurate, even prophetic. This is January 13th. No less successful in divination and January 18 - Epiphany Christmas Eve.

Preparing for divination

In order for everything to go exactly as in ancient times with grandmothers, great-grandmothers, girls should:

• tune in a serious way;
• loosen hair (remove hairpins, invisible, elastic bands, undo braids);
• untie all the knots that are on the clothes (belts, belts, decorative elements);
• remove bracelets and rings (these are not just jewelry, but amulets that protect against external intrusion and close the energy of the owner);
• mentally fenced off from the real world;
  to formulate exactly what you expect from fortune-telling, what question you want to get an answer to.

Conditions for successful divination

Until January 14, the so-called holy evening, garbage is not swept out of the houses, so that later they can collect it together and burn it separately in the yard.

3. During fortune-telling, you can not keep your arms and legs crossed. This provokes channel overlap or overlap of several "sources" of communication.

Divination for Christmas has existed since Ancient Russia.

It was believed that during Christmas time - the period between Christmas and Epiphany (from January 6 to January 19), evil and good spirits, angels and evil spirits that can predict the future.

At this time, while the world was not yet baptized, our ancestors were allowed to communicate with these spirits - to conduct Christmas divination. Divination after Baptism was forbidden.

Mostly unmarried girls guessed - when, if not during Christmas time, they could find out the name or features of their betrothed, as well as the time at which they were destined to become wives.

Examples of holy rites

Divination for Christmas with cups was popular. The young ladies took several containers: they poured water into one, and put such items as bread, a coin, salt, sugar, and a ring into others. Then the fortuneteller closed her eyes and touched one of the cups with her hand.

• If it was water, then life was waiting for her without much change.
• And if a cup with a ring comes across, she will soon get married.
• With bread - material receipt in a short time.
• Coin - will marry a rich man.
• Salt - the year will be sad.
• Sugar - the year is going to be happy.

Divination by candlelight was popular with our ancestors for Christmas. The girls set a candle in a walnut shell and put it in water.

The one whose candle burned out before anyone else, according to the prediction, was to be the very first to get married. The last to become a wife was that young lady, whose candle burned out later than the others. And if the fortuneteller’s candle goes out, she won’t get married yet.

Throwing felt boots is another tradition of Christmas divination. In order to find out from which side to wait for their lover, the girls went out of the village and threw the boots. Where the nose of the felt boots “looked”, from there it was necessary to wait for the future spouse.

Old Russian Christmas divination is relevant to this day. They have stood the test of time and mostly come true.

Well, guess!

"Props" for divination can be different. These are mirrors, and a bow, and coffee grounds, and logs. The time for divination must be exact: most often it is midnight on Christmas (Christmas Eve), or in the evenings of the entire Christmas period. Before you start fortune telling, you need to know two simple rules:

• In the place where divination takes place, it should be quiet and calm.
• You can’t fold your arms and legs crosswise during fortune-telling: it is believed that this way the channels through which information will flow are blocked.
• Hair must be loose.

Divination for girls

Of course, all young ladies are concerned about the topic of love: who will be her lover, does the guy love, will the meeting take place soon? All this can be learned at Christmas.

What else can girls guess, if not for marriage or family life? Here are some of the most popular divination for the weaker sex.

By mirrors

Christmas divination often performed on mirrors. You need to guess at midnight, by candlelight, at home.

Sit at the table, put a large mirror in front of you. Place a smaller mirror opposite the large one. With the words "My betrothed mummer, come to me dressed up!" carefully peer into the mirror - the outlines of your future husband should appear there.

By log

it Christmas divination very suitable for those who celebrate Christmas outside the city, in the countryside. On Christmas Eve they go to the barn and take the first log they find. Then they bring it home and start examining it.

• If the log is even, with a smooth bark, then the husband will be handsome and hardworking.
• If it is rough, most likely, the future spouse will not be distinguished by beauty, but he will have no equal in work!
• A thick log speaks of a rich husband.
• And subtle, on the contrary, is about the poor.
• Well, if a girl comes across a log with knots, then she will have a large and friendly family.

Almost the same scheme works in Christmas divination on the trunk. The girl goes into the forest, and, closing her eyes, hugs the first tree that comes across.

If, opening her eyes, she finds that the trunk of the tree is smooth, then her husband will be good. If the tree trunk is rough, with cracked bark, there will be a grumpy, ugly husband. And if she hugs a knotty tree, then success in all matters awaits her.

On the bow

Onions are the easiest means of divination for Christmas at home. From it you can find out the name of the future spouse if you have several guys in mind.

You need to take a few bulbs (as many as the guys), write the names of the applicants on them and put them in a container of water. The name that will be written on the first sprouted bulb is your destiny!

In case you and your friends are impatient to find out who will be the first to go down the aisle, you can tell fortunes on the same bow. Take several heads - according to the number of fortune-telling friends - and on each head draw your symbol or name.

Place the onion in water and wait for it to sprout. The girl whose bulb sprouts first will be the first to marry.

Ring or needle and thread

Christmas divination will help you find out the gender of your child and how many children you will have. To do this, you need a ring or a needle and thread. Guessing at home.

Hang the ring on a thread and slowly lower it into your palm. If it starts to swing like a pendulum, you will have a son, if it starts to spin in a circle - a daughter. If the ring does not move at all, there is a chance that there will be no children.

Divination by a needle and thread is similar: bring the needle to the palm of your hand with the point down and observe its “behavior”. All movements and predictions are the same as in Christmas divination with a ring.

Fortune telling for guys at Christmas

Young people can also find out what awaits them in the coming year, or get an answer to their question. Christmas days best time for this. You need to take any book (you can newspaper), guess the page number and open the publication on this page. What the guy reads is his prediction.

You will need: a glass of water and an egg. The guy takes the egg and pierces a hole in it, pouring the protein into a glass. If the protein remains at the bottom, then trouble awaits it. If he blurs into a glass, then in the near future everything will be fine with him.

For all

A guy and a girl are guessing so that the latter would not be afraid to sit alone at midnight, in an empty bathhouse. The bathroom must have a wall mirror.

A candle and two small mirrors are placed near it so that a candle burns in their reflection. The fortuneteller stands with his back to the wall mirror and looks into the reflection of two other mirrors: his future should be visible there.

Do not forget after all the fortune-telling at Christmas to cross the mirror, thank the higher powers for their help and be sure to wash your face.

The best fortune-telling for Christmas time

For many centuries, people have turned to otherworldly forces for answers to their questions. During this time, many effective and simple methods divination at home. Thanks to folklore and careful transmission from the older generation to the younger, they have come down to us.

Predictions for a fun company

A divination session is not only a way to gain secret knowledge, but also a pleasant leisure activity, like the study of horoscopes. Since ancient times, noisy companies gathered girls and boys in Svyatki. They often guessed on improvised objects: they can be easily replaced and added, which makes each session unique. For divination you will need: a coin, some salt, a ring, sugar, a key and a handkerchief. All items must be laid out in cups and covered with napkins so that it is impossible to see what is inside. The fortuneteller needs to be taken out of the room, and at this time the glasses are arranged in a chaotic manner. After that, they choose one glass and see what is in it:

1. A coin is for money.
2. Salt - to severe trials.
3. Scarf - to bitterness.
4. Sugar - to a carefree life.
5. The ring is for marriage.
6. The key is to move.

Christmas divination with a cat

From the time of ancient egypt cats were attributed a special divine origin, these graceful animals were worshiped. It is believed that cats balance on the border of two worlds and very subtly feel the energies of both. Many beliefs and rituals are associated with these animals.

For Christmas fortune-telling, a simple but reliable technique was often used: a person who wants to know whether a wish will come true or not whispers it in the ear of a domestic cat, after which he takes him outside the threshold, and calls him back a minute later. If the cat enters from the right paw - the answer is negative, from the left - the plan will come true.

Christmas divination at the crossroads

Crossroads are places where spirits gather, since ancient times, sorcerers brought sacrifices here for rituals, and mere mortals were afraid to eat in nearby places, since here they got rid of damage to illness and death. This dangerous divination was used by our great-grandmothers. On Christmas Eve, you need to go alone to the crossroads of two roads and listen to the surrounding sounds:

• If an echo of ringing laughter flew - to be joyful in the coming year, full of pleasant moments.
• If crying, tears are heard from afar, so the year is preparing many bitter trials.
• If you heard church bells - this is the most terrible sign, ailments and trials are prepared for the new year.
• If singing is heard from somewhere, the young lady will soon get married.

There is a more terrible version of this fortune-telling: it is believed that the sounds of prediction heard in an abandoned old church are more true. This option is suitable for the most desperate people.

Christmas divination is an ancient act. Even the church, which does not approve of jokes with magic, softens in its attitude during this period. If you don’t want to risk guessing, do a few simple rituals. On Christmas night, the skies open up, filling the earth to the brim with magic. If you ask for the most cherished before the bright holiday, it will come true in the coming year. At midnight, you need to go out into the open space under starry sky and say your cherished dream out loud - the universe will definitely hear it. If everything is already there in life, only the beloved is missing, on January 7 you need to come to the church and walk around it with prayers 3 times. This will remove the seal of loneliness that darkens life.

Even in Ancient Russia, fortune-telling for Christmas was accepted. The time of Christmas time, which begins on Christmas night and ends on Epiphany, is considered magical. People have always believed that otherworldly forces are activated on earth during this period of time. kind and evil spirits come to people and are ready to predict the future. It was during this period of time that the ancestors were allowed to communicate with otherworldly forces, since it was believed that the world had not yet been baptized.

Traditionally, unmarried girls guess at Christmas time to find out about their future fate. Christmas divination could tell if a girl would marry in current year or not, whether she meets her betrothed. Sometimes they even tried to find out the name of the groom. Some rituals have come down to us in an unchanged form. Most of them are adapted to modern life, so it is quite possible to perform them at home. And although today fortune-telling is not taken as seriously as before, it can be great entertainment for young girls.

What do they guess at Christmas?

Traditional objects for divination are candles, water, salt and sugar, coins, and a ring. For example, a very popular divination is the rite with cups. You need to pour water into the dishes, pour salt, sugar, put a ring, onions, bread, coins and other items that are easy to interpret. With her eyes closed, the girl chose a cup and determined from its contents what awaited her in the coming year.

The most daring used mirrors for divination, in which one could see their fate, their future, or even the face of their betrothed. Mirrors and candles are attributes for the most serious rituals that involve the active participation of dark forces.

2. Fortune-telling is usually carried out by candlelight or simply in the twilight. Divination is carried out only at night. The ideal time is midnight or so.

You need to go outside and throw your boot over the fence without looking. Where the nose of the shoe will point, in that direction the betrothed of the girl lives.

In the villages, the tradition of guessing on logs has been preserved to this day. If you meet Christmas Eve in the village or live in a private house where there is a woodpile, go outside, take the first log that comes across without looking, and bring it into the house. Next, each girl examines her log. An even and smooth log speaks of the pleasant appearance of the future husband. A rough log means that the husband will not be handsome, but will be distinguished by diligence and diligence. The thicker the log, the richer the husband will be. The more knots on the log, the larger the girl's family will be.

Another common divination is by candlelight. The girls, gathered together, light candles and put them in half a walnut shell. This structure must be carefully lowered into the water. Then you can go about your business - guess or just chat, but from time to time follow the candles. Whose candle burns out first, that of the girls will be the first to marry. Accordingly, the last extinguished candle indicates that the girl will marry the last of those present. The worst sign is an extinguished candle. She says that the girl will not get married in the near future.
