Christmas is a special, mystical time. It is believed that Christmas Eve is the best time for divination.
People say that on the night of January 6-7, Christmas Eve, the predictions are the most accurate and truthful. Christmas Eve is not only a great Orthodox holiday, but also the start for the famous Christmas divination - a period that lasts until January 19 (Epiphany).
According to popular beliefs, on this night all prohibitions are lifted, mysterious forces rush to the Earth. One is to harm people, the other is to help. In the old days, girls, about to tell fortunes, tuned in to a serious mood. They mentally fenced themselves off from the real world and turned to supernatural forces.
We have tried to collect the most interesting and reliable Christmas fortune-telling, which we hope will help you uncover the secrets of the future.
When can you guess?
The best time for divination, as we have already reported, is the night before Christmas.
It is then that astral spirits and ghosts penetrate the physical world, making contact and reporting the facts of our future.
Another suitable period of winter attempts to look into your future is the period between January 8 and January 18. At this time, they are also guessing, 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. It's January 13th.

The best divination
1, inform the site site. Divination for the future with cups
For divination, you will need several cups corresponding to the number of fortunetellers. A ring, a coin, bread, sugar, onion, salt are placed in the cups, a little water is poured into one cup. With their eyes closed, each of the fortune-tellers, in turn, chooses a cup.
Predictions for the future are as follows: ring - for the wedding; coin - to wealth; bread - to prosperity; sugar - for fun; onion - to tears; salt - unfortunately, and a cup of water - to life without much change.
2. Divination for the future with candles
You will need a bowl of water, halves of a walnut shell, in an amount equal to the number of fortunetellers, and the same number of small candles or their pieces. Candles need to be inserted into the shells, light them and let them float in a bowl.
The girl whose candle burns first will be the first of the fortune-tellers to marry. Accordingly, the girl whose candle burns last will be the last to marry. If someone's shell with a candle sank, that girl will not be married at all.
3. Divination on paper
Take a sheet of paper and crumple it up. Place the crumpled leaf in the bottom of an upside-down plate or saucer and light it. After that, bring the saucer with burnt paper to the wall and carefully turn the saucer until some kind of shadow appears on the wall, according to the outlines of which one judges the near future.
4. Divination on wax
For divination on wax, you will need two wax candles, one of which needs to be lit, and pieces of the other put in a spoon and, heating the spoon over a burning candle, melt the wax. After that, the melted wax is quickly poured into a glass of cold water and, by the light of a candle, the future is judged by the figure formed.
5. Divination YES-NO
Above the jar, with any cereal or grain, hold the left hand with the palm down. Concentrating, you need to ask a question that interests you. After that, take a handful of cereals from the jar and pour it on the table, then count the number of grains. If the number of grains is even, it means a positive answer - YES, an odd number, means a negative answer - NO.
6. Fortune telling on the number and gender of future children
On Christmas Eve, you need to pour water into a glass, put a ring in it and put it in the cold. Before going to bed, a glass is taken from the cold and the future children are judged by the ice surface formed in it. The number of tubercles indicates the number of boys, and the number of pits indicates how many girls there will be.
7. Divination by the book
They took a book at random and asked a question. After that, they called the page number and the line number on it - what was written in this place in the book, and served as an answer.
8. Fortune telling on the king of diamonds
You will need the appropriate card, which you need to hide under the pillow and make a wish on the man you want to see as your husband. Then go to bed. What you dream about tonight will be your future. On this night, all dreams are prophetic.
9. Divination with a chain
When everyone falls asleep, you need to take a golden chain, rub it between your palms, hold it in your right hand, shake it and throw it on the table.
A circle has formed - closed troubles are expected; stripe - luck; node - difficulties and illnesses; triangle - love success; bow - wedding; snake - betrayal; heart is love.
10. Divination with a mirror
It is considered the most mystical. You need to sit in absolute darkness in front of a mirror with a candle in the midst of midnight. An important condition is that no one else should be in the room. It is necessary to carefully look at the reflective surface. After about 5 minutes, it will fade. Then the betrothed, or rather, the devil who has taken his guise, will be reflected behind the glass. The girl should start to shy away so that he disappears, pronouncing shy me! Otherwise, evil will materialize.
Whatever happens to you in fortune-telling, remember that the good will come true, but do not believe in the bad. The main thing is to be confident in your happiness.
Don't forget to walk on fresh snow on Christmas night. If no one tramples your tracks by morning, then family life will be happy, rich and joyful. And if someone follows in your footsteps, you will swear with your husband all your life.
Melt the wax in an iron container, pour the milk in a saucer, say a conspiracy: “Domoiko, kutny god, come under the threshold to drink milk, eat wax.” Having said this, pour the melted wax into the milk.
If the wax pours out like a flower, then you will get married. The cross shows illness, trouble and worsening financial condition. If the beast appears, beware, you will have an enemy. The stripes indicate a move, a change of residence. Asterisk - success in school, at work, in a career, in business. The human figure is a new friend.
This fortune-telling is intended for girlfriends who are interested in which of them will marry first. Girls need to take identical pieces of woolen thread, take them at one end, and set fire to the other. In which the thread burns out faster, she will marry earlier. If the thread goes out, then it is unlikely that the girl will marry at all.
Method 1. Unmarried girlfriends gather, lay out a large piece of black velvet on a table or on the floor. The girls take turns rolling the golden ring over the fabric, while saying: “I’ll swing the ring around the city, and I’ll go for the ring myself, I’ll find my betrothed.” At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the ring does not fall. If it stopped quickly, then the girl will soon have a wedding, and if it has gone far, then marriage will not be soon.
Method 2. An equal number of small ribbons and pieces of bread are placed in a pot or jug with a narrow neck. The girl puts her hand into the jug and takes the object without looking. If you get a ribbon, then soon down the aisle, if bread, then the girl will live in the new year in her father's house and chew bread.
This fortune-telling will tell you what to expect in the coming year. We take six glasses, pour a little water into them and put them in glasses on the following subject: sugar (luck), salt (tears), bread (wealth), coin (big profit), match (child), ring (marriage). We blindfold and choose a glass at random, let someone mix them for the purity of fortune-telling. What is pulled out is what will be. You can guess twice. The first glass will mean the main event of the year, and the second - the general background.
Listening to the barking of dogs
Go outside at night. take a knife in your hands and cut the snowdrift with it, saying: “Damn, damn, don’t be silent, damn, damn, tell me what kind of husband I will get, will I have to laugh or cry?”. Listen to the barking of dogs. If they respond viciously, then the future husband will be strict. If the animals bark cheerfully and loudly, then the chosen one will be cheerful and kind. If dogs howl, then the marriage will be short-lived and you will remain a widow.
Pouring wax
Take white wax or paraffin candle ends, put them in a metal saucepan and melt. Then pour the contents of the bowl into cold water. According to the figure that you have loomed, you can predict your future.
If you saw a house, then you will soon get married and move to another home. If shapeless ruins loomed, expect misfortune in the near future. The pit can symbolize the death of loved ones or illness. Trees with branches pointing upward promise joy, and drooping branches promise sadness. A ring and a candle predict a quick wedding.
Looking at the shadow
Take a newspaper, remember it, put it on a plate and set it on fire. When everything is burned, place a candle next to the plate and look at the shadow that the ashes cast on the wall. According to the figures and interpret the future, as in fortune-telling on wax.
Guessing with an egg
Take a glass of water and pour protein into it. Place the bowl in the preheated oven to curdle. Then watch. what happened. If you see a church dome or a ring, this is for an imminent wedding, a square - for illness or death. If a ship looms, get ready to move after marriage to another city or country. If the pancake sank to the bottom, a long girlhood awaits you.
Looking into the mirror
This fortune-telling is considered the most truthful, but also the most dangerous. After all, according to popular beliefs, the mirror is the boundary separating the real world and the other world. There are many signs and beliefs associated with the mirror. So, a mirror broken in two promises the imminent death of loved ones. Trouble can happen if you look at yourself in the mirror during a thunderstorm. A woman should not look in the mirror during pregnancy, after the birth of a child and the entire postpartum period. At this time, she is considered "unclean".
Place two cutlery, a mirror and a candle on the table. Then sit in front of the mirror and say: "Narrowed, mummers, come to me for dinner."
In theory, exactly at midnight you will see the face of a man looking over her shoulder. You should examine it well and quickly say "Chur this place!". After these words, the image will disappear, and you will be out of danger.
Alternatively, you can perform a ceremony with two mirrors. They must be placed opposite each other so that they repeat their reflections. Place one of them 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 you have correctly placed the mirrors, then the mirrors will create a long gallery of reflections in which you will see a betrothed-mummer.
It is interesting that among young people it was baptismal divination that was considered the most faithful and accurate.
People who have comprehended the secrets of divination give some advice: how to guess for Christmas at home.
- Fortune telling on the night of Christmas (from January 6 to 7) and Christmas evenings (until January 18).
- The future will open if you take divination seriously. It is better to tell fortunes in solitude, in peace and quiet. You can guess in the company if everyone is serious. In any case, close yourself in a separate quiet room.
- You should not cross your arms and legs - this way information channels overlap.
- Girls undo their hair, let their hair down.
- Tune in to joyful light events. Consider all unfavorable forecasts as a warning. “He who is warned is armed” - now you will definitely cope with adversity.
- At the end of the fortune-telling, they thank the higher powers for their help.
- Be sure to wash after divination.
Girls usually guess, but men can also try to look into the future.
You will need:
- 6 identical cups;
- slice of bread;
- a spoonful of sugar;
- a pinch of salt;
- coin;
- ring;
- water;
- towel.
One of the above items is placed in each cup, and water is poured into one. Fortune-tellers take turns approaching the table and, without looking, choose a cup. To prevent peeping, all cups are covered with a towel.
The result of divination depends on the contents of the selected cup.
- Water - everything will remain the same, without change.
- Sugar is a "sweet" carefree year.
- Salt - to tears.
- Bread - the year promises material well-being, prosperity.
- Coin - to marriage with a rich man.
- The ring is for the wedding.
A simple and truthful fortune-telling for Christmas at home, time-tested.
Girls choose an onion for themselves and mark their own (you can tie a thread or stick a sticker with a name). The bulbs are placed in a bowl of water. We'll have to wait until the onions sprout: whose sprouts first - that one of the fortunetellers will marry first (they also determine the second, third ...). If the bulb does not germinate, the girl should not think about marriage yet.
Divination by the barking of a dog.
They say: "Hail, bark, doggy, find out, find out, betrothed." Hoarse barking - narrowed old, sonorous - young, muffled - widower or divorced.
Divination on the water.
The water is taken out into the yard, and each girl, after pouring a little water over the bed, takes a handful of snow. They come home and see what color the snow is - this will be the narrowed one.
Divination in the field.
In the dark they take a log from the barn and then look at the houses in the light. A smooth log - the husband will be good, a bit dry - bad, with cracks - angry.
Divination on the steps.
They count the steps, saying: widower, well done, etc., and, having reached the last one, they look at which word they stopped at.
Fortune telling with chicken.
It will help determine the well-being of the future spouse.
Plates with bread and water are placed on the floor, coals, silver, gold and copper gizmos are laid out. Then a chicken is brought into the room. A chicken will approach the coal - to be married to a poor man, he will drink water - and even worse, to a drunkard. But if he starts eating bread, a silver ring pecks - a wealthy person will fall, a golden one - and a rich man at all. If the chicken prefers copper, the betrothed will turn out to be not only lazy, but also red tape
Divination on the ring, bread and hook.
The girls put a ring on the floor, a hook woven from straw or bent from wire, and a piece of bread, cover it all with a scarf, circle around them 5 times, and then quickly remove the scarf and drag whoever gets what. The one who has a ring in her hands will marry a dandy, who has bread in her hands will marry a rich man. And the one who gets the hook will live all her life with the poor (he will, like a hook, hunch over all his life, earning his bread).
Divination for marriage
Divination with a shoe (shoe).
This is the most famous and widespread type of divination. So our great-great-grandmothers in the villages guessed. It is done like this. The girls take off the shoes from their left foot and throw them over the gate, while observing which way the sock will fall. If the sock turns out to be turned back to the gate from where it was thrown, - the girl will live another year at home, not get married, if in some other direction - to be betrothed in the new year.
Divination at the crossroads at midnight.
Girls on Christmas night go to the crossroads and, each guessing about their future groom, draw a circle, and standing in it, “listen to the neighborhood”: if they hear laughter and singing, then they will get married soon, if they hear crying, swearing, lamentations - sit shed tears in the girls.
Divination on the water.
On a moonlit night, they go to the river and look into the hole: the one who marries will see her betrothed; which to sit in the girls - only hears a knock from the water.
Divination at the church.
In the old days, girls went to church at night to eavesdrop. At night, of course, there is no service. But they say that some beauties heard either wedding singing or funeral lamentation. Depending on what she heard, the girl made a conclusion: whether she would marry or become very ill.
Fortune telling on water and a candle.
Behind the porch of the house (on the balcony) put a tub of water. After midnight, the girl needs to take a candle, break a crust of ice in a tub, dip the candle into the water to the very bottom, enter the house with the words: “Do not pout, scorching fires, from the ant brazier, but the wax candle will light up in front of the wonderful Savior image!” By how soon a candle is lit from a burning lamp in front of a home icon, you can find out whether you will be betrothed, whether you will soon hold a wedding candle at the wedding.
Divination with straw.
Straws are thrown into the ceiling: how much will stick to the ceiling, so big will be the family to which they will give the girl.
Fortune telling on chicken feathers.
Closer to midnight, the girl should put a chicken feather on the threshold. And say: “There is an oak tree, there are 12 nests on it, in each nest there are 4 eggs, in each egg there are 7 chickens, one of them - show yourself, let me know what to expect in the future!” When someone opened the door, the chicken feather, caught in the air, either flew out the door or flew into the house. If at the door - to be married, into the house - to sit in the girls for another year.
Divination on the ring.
Players take turns rolling the ring across the floor. If it rolls towards the door, the girl will soon get married. And the guy is - to a long journey. The ring is also secretly passed from hand to hand, and the driver must guess who has it. Remember our childhood, a similar game "Ring, ring, go out on the porch!".

Fortune telling on tea thick.
In order to correctly read the sign that will be formed from tea leaves, it is better to use a cup of a simple shape. The liquid should only cover the bottom. Take the cup in your left hand and shake the tea - make three sharp turns of the cup clockwise. Turn the cup over and, holding it with the handle towards you, tilt it so that it is convenient to look inside. Mentally divide the volume of the cup in half. Everything that is closer to the handle is related directly to you, the rest - to strangers, but people you know.

Divination on wax.
When the candle flares up, it is tilted over a bowl of water and the wax is allowed to drain. You can do this several times so that a sufficient amount of wax drops freezes in the water. The resulting intricate figures will tell the future - they are taken out of the water and interpreted. If, in addition to several large figures, many small round figures have formed, this is for money. And big figures are judged by the associations they evoke. For those who do not rely on their imagination or are afraid of making a mistake, here is a hint.

Fortune telling on peas, nuts or coffee beans.
So can guess both men and women. The fortuneteller takes in a handful how many peas, nuts or coffee beans fit, shakes them several times, then puts the grains one at a time on the table, saying a word for each grain, for example, like this:

Melchior, brass and gold,
Silver, cast iron and ... cotton wool,
Mansion, palace, hut,
Barn, fifteenth floor...
Ford, Toyota for rent,

What do you value the most?
Divination by the book.
It is best to take a book of spiritual content, for example, the Bible or the Psalter; without opening it, think of the page number and line above or below, then open it and read in a hidden place. They interpret what they read in accordance with what the fortuneteller is most interested in (wealth, travel, marriage, health, etc.).
Divination on burnt paper.
It is burned in a dark room by the light of a candle. You need to look at the shadow that turns out on the wall when burning paper. The reflection of the trait promises great trouble or temptation that will not lead to anything good. If you saw a cat, flirting and a romantic interest are possible. Expect big changes in life if a shadow resembling a bird appears on the wall.
Divination on the ashes.
Burn a crumpled sheet of paper on a plate. Light a candle and determine your fate by the shadow formed by the ashes. If the outlines of the castle appear, the buildings - for the wedding.
Fortune telling on straw.
This is a very ancient divination. On Christmas Eve, under the tablecloth, which covered the festive table, they put hay or straw - a memory of the manger of the infant Christ. Exactly at midnight, they pulled out a straw: long - the year will be successful, fruitful, short - unproductive. Well, the girls here were also wondering about their fate: a green stalk would stretch out from under the tablecloth, which means that love and an early wedding awaited her, and if she got a blackened one, she would sit all the century in girls.
Divination on cups.
You need to take a few opaque cups. Spread bread, salt, sugar, ring, money in them, pour water into one. There should be as many fortunetellers as there are cups. Each of those gathered in turn chooses a cup with their eyes closed.
Onions - to tears, bread - to prosperity, a ring - to a wedding, water - a stable position awaits you, salt - be careful: trouble may befall you in the near future. If you got a cup of sugar, fun awaits you soon. Money - become rich.
Divination on small objects.
In the evening, young men and women gather, take a tray, pour on it someone - a ring, someone - a cufflink, someone - an earring, someone - a button, a coin, and other small things. They cover the tray with a towel, sing a well-known melody over it, then shake the tray under the towel several times, throw off the towel, and, without looking, everyone drags one of the little things lying on it with their left hand. It resembles something like a house lottery. The one who gets, for example, a coin will “get rich”, whoever gets a handkerchief will grieve in the new year, whoever gets the key will get a new home. And the one who gets the ring must roll it on the floor, while observing which way it rolls: if to the door, be in the coming year of the wedding.
Divination on things.
Girls and guys gather at someone's in the evening, sit down at the table. They collect cufflinks, rings, earrings from everyone and put it all under the dish, mixed with slices of bread. Cover the dish with a towel on top. Then the participants sing the “following” song. For example, the glory of bread and salt. Then each in turn, blindly, putting his hand under the dish, takes out the first object that comes across. If a girl got a male item (and a guy got a female item), you have to wait for an imminent wedding. The ransom of someone else's object threatens with a kiss.
Submissive songs. Not a single Christmastide could do without such fortune-telling. In a dish or bowl, the girls put their small things - a ring, a comb, an earring, a ribbon. Under a special song-prediction, without looking, these little things were taken out. “To whom it will come out - it will come true, to whom it will come true - it will not pass,” they sang after the next verse.
Fortune telling on a glass and a ring.
Pour into a glass of water in the evening, lower the ring and expose to frost. Before going to bed they bring a glass: how many tubercles there will be, so many sons, and how many holes - so many daughters.
Divination with spoons.
Spoons are placed in a tub of water according to the number of relatives, noting which is whose. Then shake the water. In the morning they look: if all the spoons are in a pile, then no one in the family will die during the year, and if someone is behind, it means that this particular family member dies that year.
Divination with a torch.
If a girl wants to know about her future life, then on Christmas night she takes a birch torch in her hands, dips it in spring (well) water or in water from melted snow and lights it from the fire. If the torch lights up quickly and burns evenly, life will be long and calm; if the torch burns with crackling and flashes, the girl will be sad and ill in the year.
Divination on needles.
Take a bowl of water and some ordinary sewing needles of any size, but not too large. Tailor's pins with a ring are also suitable. If you are really interested in marriage or just developing a relationship with a partner, you can take needles of different sizes and guess: let the smaller one be yours, and the larger one - the one you are wondering about. Both needles are properly lubricated with some kind of fat (it can be a greasy cosmetic cream) and carefully placed on the surface of the water.
If you are in a "love triangle" or you are interested in relationships with several people, take several needles, preferably different ones. One will be yours, and for the rest, mentally “fix” those who interest you, and carefully, one by one, place on the surface of the water.
The needles left on the surface mean those who will remain next to you in the coming year. If any two needles connect, this means the union (possibly marriage) of those people on whom you made a wish. If the needles stick together along the entire length, this promises fruitful cooperation and true friendship. If the ends of the needles parted or the needles ended up on the surface of the water in different directions, then the connection between these people will weaken. And if the needles go to the bottom, perhaps friendship with these people will be interrupted next year.
If your needle sinks, it means that a new period will begin in your life, and not all old connections will be preserved. In the new year, you will have new worries, not those that seem so significant to you now, and other people may surround you.
It may happen that all the needles sink. What does it mean? Nothing bad. It’s just that you didn’t lubricate them enough, and fortune-telling needs to be repeated.
You need to add a little ash, salt and sugar to a bowl of water, mix everything and throw two hairs into the bowl: your own and your loved one. Look in the morning: if the hairs come together - this is for the wedding, if they parted in different directions - for separation.
Two or more people participate in this fortune-telling for the prediction of marriage. Four cups are placed on the table, and a piece of bread is placed in one of them, a burnt match or paper in the second, and a golden ring in the third. The fourth cup is left empty. The cups are covered with napkins so that what is inside is not visible. One participant randomly mixes the cups, and the other, at this time, turns away, and then chooses one cup.
If a ring comes across - this is a happy marriage for love, if a match or paper - you will live in poverty, if a piece of bread - this is a marriage of convenience, and an empty cup - means the unknown, then the participant of fortune-telling with her betrothed is not yet familiar.
Girls "arm" with shoes from the left foot or any other shoes and throw them through the gate, or through the threshold of the house. Then they look at exactly how she fell: in which direction the toe of the shoe points, there is the place of residence of the future husband. If the shoe points to the gate from which it was thrown, then this year the girl will stay at home and will not marry.
The girl goes out into the street, wonders if there will be a wedding, and says: “Ball, bark, doggy. Zavoy, gray top, ”and listens to where the noise will come from. It is in this direction that she will marry. If the noise was heard not far from the house, it means that she will marry in the neighborhood, if the noise comes from afar and is barely audible, then she will marry far or not soon.
The girls are located in a room with a door to the street and take turns rolling the ring in the direction of the exit. The girl whose ring rolls straight to the door will get married soon.
Fortune telling on Christmas night. The girls go to the crossroads, and each of them thinks of her future groom. Then they draw a circle around themselves, stand in its middle and “listen to the district”. Sounds are the answer. A girl who hears laughter and singing will soon get married, a girl who hears crying, lamentations, swearing will sit in girls for a long time, lament and shed tears.
After Christmas dinner, the girls use the remains of their piece of bread to mold the figure of the groom, whichever they want - this is a figurative figurine. Then these figures are laid out outside the threshold of the room.
After that, some dog is launched into the room, letting it near the figures. The girl whose figurine the dog grabs first will marry. It happens that the dog sniffs all the figures, but does not touch any, and goes away. This means that none of the girls will marry in the coming year.
Sometimes girls bake small breads from wheat flour. They themselves take them out of the oven and hide them. In the evening, having gathered in one room, they put the bread in one row outside the threshold. Then the dog is called - whose loaf the dog grabs earlier, she will marry sooner. And the girl, whose loaf the dog simply sniffs, will have many suitors, but she will not get married soon.
Each of the fortune-telling girls cuts off a thread of the same length with everyone else. All participants take their threads and at the same time bring them to one candle, so as to set them on fire at once. The girl whose thread burns to the end the fastest will be the first to marry. If the thread goes out for someone without burning down to the middle, this means that this girl is never destined to get married.
On the sides of the matchbox, in the gaps between its inner and outer parts, two matches are inserted, one opposite the other. These matches are identified with a specific guy and a real girl, after which the matches are set on fire. If, during burning, the matches turned their heads to each other, this means that the couple will be together.

Very interesting divination on the clock. If your house has an old wall clock, mechanical is best, you can tell fortunes from it. Lock yourself in the room where you are going to guess, turn off the lights and draw the curtains. It is important that the room is pitch dark, otherwise the ritual may not work. Leave your desk lamp or nightlight turned on first. Remove the glass from the watch, remove the hour hand. Extinguish the lamp, feel for the arrow translation wheel and start turning it in any direction. Do it quickly. After counting to twelve, stop and turn on the lamp. Take a look at the clock, or rather, at the arrow.
Pay attention to which number the arrow stops at. If she froze between two numbers, choose the one to which she is closest. If the arrow is exactly in the center, give preference to a larger number.
Deciphering fortune-telling on the clock:
If the arrow is on the number "1", forget about the changes. Life will flow without shocks and surprises. This is a time of rest and relaxation, which, however, will not be as long as we would like.
The arrow on the number "2" means that you should be examined by doctors as soon as possible. It is possible that your excellent condition is deceptive, and a disease awaits you on the threshold, which must be prevented right now.
The arrow at three o'clock portends the successful completion of the work begun. But do not rely on simple luck - success does not come by itself. Only diligence and perseverance will help in achieving the intended goal.
The arrow stopped at the number “4” marks imminent trouble. Be prepared to meet them fully armed, and only attentiveness and caution will help prevent them.
Five hours will mean a quick enrichment. Luck and hard work, perseverance and caution will lead to the fact that you will have a lot of money, which, however, will also have to be saved. Many crooks may pay attention to you.
The arrow on the number "6" is a dangerous sign. Soon, troubles and troubles will fall on your head. Show extreme restraint and prudence - only in this case you will be able to transfer this truly black streak with dignity.
The number "7" means an unprecedented career takeoff. Don't lose your head at the pinnacle of success - this mountain is difficult to climb, but easy to fall. Concentrate all your strength, show all your talents to pass this test.
The arrow at eight o'clock portends conflict. Try not to join it - be modest and calm, do not run into a quarrel. If you are challenged, don't accept it. Curb pride and keep a measured rhythm of life.

If the arrow stops at the number "10", be sure of your safety - no intrigues of the enemies will even indirectly touch you. Calmness is what is most important in your position. If you worry, you will harm yourself.

HOW TO GUESS FOR CHRISTMAS BEFORE SLEEP (On the night of January 6-7)
Divination for kings
On the night of January 6-7, before going to bed, the girls need to put playing cards with the image of kings under the pillow. In the morning, without looking, it is worth pulling out one card. Whichever king the girl gets, so will the husband: the king of spades is old and jealous, the king of clubs is a military man, the king of hearts is young and rich, and the king of diamonds is desirable.
Divination for a love dream
Before going to bed, a fortune-telling girl needs to eat something salty and in no case drink water. Going to bed, you need to say: “Narrowed, mummers, come to me and give me a drink!” According to legend, whoever comes to get you drunk is the one you will marry.
Fortune telling on a betrothed with a stocking
Girls will have to prepare for this fortune-telling in advance - buy stockings. Before going to bed, put on a new stocking on one leg and go to bed. At the same time, the girl should say: "Narrowed, mummers, come take off my shoes." A man who in a dream takes off a stocking from a fortune-telling girl will become her husband.
Divination on mirrors
This fortune-telling is not suitable for everyone, but rather for those who like to tickle their nerves. In the people it is considered one of the most dangerous.
For divination, two mirrors are taken (sufficiently large and, if possible, equal in size), placed opposite each other and illuminated by two candles. It is best to keep one mirror in front of the illuminated wall mirror, so that you get a long corridor lit up with lights. All animals and strangers must be removed from the room. If it is very scary, you can leave a couple of modest persons, however, they should not make a sound, do not look in the mirror and do not approach the fortuneteller.
At the end of the corridor formed between the two mirrors, the narrowed one should appear. True, sometimes you have to look for a very long time, and you can see not only the betrothed, but also all evil spirits ...
FORTUNE ON DUMPLINGS
One of the most traditional divination at Christmas.
The hostess of the house, inviting guests, prepares dumplings with potatoes, and in some she puts stuffing in the form of small surprises. The essence of fortune-telling lies in the fact that no one knows what he will come across, and it is by filling the dumpling that they determine what awaits a person next year.
For example:
- Lollipop - life next year will be sweet;
- Paper bill - big money awaits you;
- Thread - to a long road or journey;
- Dragee-type sweets - replenishment of the family;
- A pea of black pepper - means life with peppercorns;
- Button - a lot of interesting new things.
SIMPLE FORTUNE
Divination in the name of the betrothed
In order to find out the name of the future husband, it is enough for a girl to go out into the street and ask the first man she meets to name his name.
Divination by the book
It is necessary to prepare a book with suitable content in advance. Without opening the book, the girls guess the page number and the line above or below. Then they open the book on the desired page and read the necessary lines. Depending on what the fortune-telling girl cares about most, they interpret the selected paragraph.
Divination on the water
Prepare two identical glasses. One of them is filled to the top with water. Having made a wish, the fortune-telling girl begins to pour liquid from one glass to another. Does this several times. After that, you need to look at the surface where the glasses stood. If no more than two or three drops remain on it, the wish will come true. If there are more drops, its implementation is difficult.

In Rus', Christmas has always been the most anticipated day of the year. On long winter evenings, when people had free time, Christmas fortune-telling was born. Why at Christmas? Yes, because this holiday, like no other, is associated with the miracle, which was the birth in Bethlehem of a special baby, named Jesus Christ.
Christmas fortune-telling is also called Yuletide, as it takes place during Christmas time, which lasts two weeks, from Christmas Eve on January 6 to Epiphany on January 19. It can be fortune-telling on cards, mirrors, runes, logs, wax, onions, books, coffee grounds and much, much more.
We will present some of the divinations below, explaining step by step how to perform rituals and why it is better to perform divination before Christmas, in the afternoon on Christmas or on Christmas night.
Fortune-telling during Christmas time is the most reliable and often comes true, since on these holy days angels and good spirits help a person. According to popular beliefs, the most powerful day is Christmas Eve. Since the traditions of the Russian people take their roots from the time when the old style was in effect, it is better to guess according to the old style.
The most popular are Christmas fortune-telling, which girls and women certainly wanted to know. But most of all they were interested in the issue of marriage and the personality of the betrothed, therefore, the main part of fortune-telling is devoted precisely to these issues and related to them.
Rules for fortune tellers at Christmas
- The room where fortune-telling takes place should be quiet. Any sound or whisper is a problem that prevents you from focusing on the issue at hand, breaking the thread of contact with the Universe, which does not like interference.
- During fortune-telling, you can’t cross your arms and legs, as the communication channels can “overlap”, which will lead to their narrowing and the difficulty of passing information that will stall or come in incomplete.
Divination on wax
This is the most common and popular divination. On the holy night, collect the cinders from white wax candles, melt, pour into a container of cold water. It is necessary to pour the wax in one motion, thus the figures are better. This does not mean that you should pour the wax in one fell swoop, just that the stream of wax should not be interrupted and can be poured slowly.
The frozen wax figure is the key to the secret of your future. First, examine the wax on both sides, determine what the resulting figure looks like more, and then proceed to the interpretation. Here are some of the values:
- house - marriage for a girl, in a general sense - a new household;
- a pit is a burial place, which means death or a fatal illness;
- stripes - roads, crossings;
- wax divided into a large number of drops - for money;
- mushroom - longevity;
- trees with branches up - an ambulance;
- ring - wedding;
- pancake - long girlhood;
- stars - good luck;
- dragon - the completion of a great work;
- bell - to alarm;
- flower - lover, love, marriage;
- apple - wisdom and health;
- egg - the appearance of something new;
- the cross is a disease.
Divination on the bow
If you are impatient to find out what your betrothed or betrothed will be called or you cannot choose between several applicants or applicants, try fortune telling on a bow, especially since it is very simple.
Choose good bulbs according to the number of people you like, write the names or initials of specific people on them and put them in a container of water. This should be done the night before Christmas, saying:
“Ah, onion, whisper, who will be the groom?” or “Ah, onion, whisper, who will be my bride?”
Now it remains to wait for the bulbs to sprout. The bulb that first releases a feather and becomes the winner, and with it the person whose initials or name are written on it.
Divination for a future husband
There are many fortune-telling for the future husband. One of the simplest is to go outside and ask the first passerby man for his name - this will be the name of the future spouse. Also, the appearance of this person will tell you how handsome and rich your fiancé will be.
You can find out how the groom will look like in your own dream. This dream must be prophetic. To call him, take a clean comb before going to bed, slowly comb your hair with it, while saying: “Betrothed-mummer, come to me dressed up.”
Then put the comb under the pillow and go to bed.
Another way to see the groom in a dream. Eat something salty before going to bed and go to bed, say:
"Whoever is my betrothed-mummer, he will give me a drink."
You can guess with the help of four glasses of clean water. A teaspoon of honey is placed in the first glass, half a spoonful of salt in the second, a quarter of a teaspoon of citric acid in the third, and a little wine is poured into the last.
The contents of the glasses are thoroughly mixed, after which they are covered with napkins so that the girl who will be guessing at her husband does not see their contents. It is necessary without hesitation to choose one glass, and learn about your spouse from its contents.
Have a bachelorette party and have fun
Thus, water with honey means a sweet life and a good husband, salt water is a tear and sadness, sour water means a sad life, with wine a husband is an alcoholic or a heavy drinker.
Divination for children
Children are also a very exciting issue for women that arises immediately after marriage. You can guess for children by a ring or a needle and thread.
Divination by the ring
Take a bowl of clean water, throw your wedding ring into it and put it in the cold. In the morning, watch the water freeze. If the surface of the water is flat, the fortune-telling woman will not have children in the near future. If the surface is uneven, examine it very carefully, for the bumps are boys, and the depressions are girls. Accordingly, how many tubercles and dimples you count, so many children you will have.
Divination with a needle
Such fortune-telling may interest you in working with a pendulumTake a needle and white thread. Insert the thread into the eye. Take the thread by the end with your right hand, and point the tip of the needle to the center of the palm of your left hand at a short distance from it. Follow the needle. If she began to sway across the palm, then you will have a girl, if along - a boy. After the needle stops, it may begin to swing again, which means it notifies you of the next child's gender. Wait until the needle stops making any movement at all, and until now, count the number of your children and do not forget to remember their gender.
Divination for desire
Fortune-telling on desires is as different as the others. We suggest that you try to tell fortunes on grains, a handful of which you need to take in your left hand, clench your palm into a fist and say your desire out loud. Then count the number of grains. If you have an even number of grains in your hand, the wish will come true, an odd number - not now.
You can guess the wish by the cat, if there is one in your house. Make a wish and invite a cat to your place. If he crosses the threshold of the room with his right paw, the wish will come true, the left one will not.
Divination by the book
Take any book, better than spiritual content, ask a question, think of a page and a line from above or below, read your prediction, which will become an answer or parting words.
Divination at Christmas time is an old Russian tradition. But it's up to each of us to guess or not. Many fortune-telling predict misfortunes and troubles, spoiling the mood not only for the fortuneteller, but also for those around him.

This fortune-telling is relevant both at Christmas time and on the night of Christmas and Epiphany. Divination is mysterious and dangerous; only the bravest and strongest in spirit conduct it. To make it work, you need to take two large mirrors and put them parallel to each other. Place two lit candles between them. A long tunnel should form in the reflection of the mirrors.
At this time, there should be no cats, no dogs, no birds, no strangers nearby - no one alive, except for one or two best friends. Moreover, girls should not talk, approach the girl who was telling fortunes, and most importantly, look into the mirrors.
In the resulting corridor, a silhouette of a person should soon appear, in which the fortune-telling girl recognizes her betrothed. But sometimes, in addition to the future husband, you can see all kinds of devilry, hoping to get into our world with the help of a mirror. To prevent this, you need to immediately blow out the fire of the candles.
Divination with milk and candle wax
First you need to attract Domovoy. Take a dish of milk and put it on the doorstep. Melt candle ends in a water bath in a metal bowl. While the wax is melting, it is necessary to read a special spell: "Brownie, master of my kingdom, come under the threshold to drink milk, eat wax." After all that has been said, quickly pour the wax into the milk and see which figures are frozen in the saucer.
Divination by pickles
This "gastronomic divination" for the Old New Year should also appeal to modern ladies.
Before going to bed you need to eat pickled cucumbers or tomatoes - whatever your heart desires - and do not drink anything after that. Already lying in bed, say: “Betrothed, foretold to me by fate, come to me and bring me water!”. The one who appears in a dream and gives water to drink is the future spouse.
Divination by a burning thread
Guessing ahead of time. All the young ladies who have gathered to tell fortunes take the same threads and set them on fire at the same time. The girl whose thread burns out first will be the first to be married. But others should not despair, because the sequence of burning threads determines their order of marriage. That is, the one that takes second place will marry after the winner, and further in descending order.
Divination for a child
For such a fortune-telling, you need a ring and a thin rope. You need to put the ring on the thread and lower it into a glass of water. Then slowly pull it out and bring it to the palm of your hand. If the ring spins, then expect a girl, if the pendulum starts to swing like a boy. If he remains immovable, there will be no replenishment in the family this year.
The most favorable time for fortune-telling is Christmas Eve, Christmas time, Ivan Kupala and Christmas night. It is believed that it is on these days that fortune-telling is the most reliable. Of course, this is not important, but it will help create a mystical atmosphere.
Divination by desire
One of the simplest fortune-telling is fortune-telling by desire. 12 wishes are written on 12 separate leaves. Leaves are folded and placed under the pillow. After the night, three pieces of paper are pulled out at random. Those wishes that you pulled out will come true next year.
You can also guess from the spiritual book. For this, the page and line number are guessed. The book opens on the desired page and the hidden line is read - this is your prediction.
There is a very common divination for compatibility with your companion. A needle, red thread and fabric are taken. You need to focus on your partner. Then a few stitches are made with a needle with a red thread and quickly stretched. If the thread goes well, then everything will be fine with you. If it passes with difficulty, then get ready for difficulties. If the thread breaks at all, then you will not succeed with this person.
Fortune telling by shadow
You can also guess the future by the shadow. To do this, take a couple of paper sheets and crumple them into one large ball. Then the light is turned off and an ordinary wax candle is lit. The candle is brought to the ball in such a way that it casts a shadow. According to the shape of the shadow, a prediction is given. If this is a star, then luck and success in your endeavors await you. The shadow in the form of animals and pits means difficulties. A mountain can mean a difficult road to a happy future. A shadow in the shape of a ring is a quick marriage.
