How to accurately tell fortunes for the old New Year. What are dumplings stuffed with for fortune telling for the Old New Year?
Another holiday is approaching, which has been celebrated in our country for a long time and on a grand scale - the Old New Year. And how can we not remember on this occasion about fortune-telling at Christmas time? After all, this is part of our culture, and the desire to look at least a little into our future
The celebration of the Old New Year, firstly, is firmly intertwined with the fact that the New Year according to the old style comes exactly on January 14, and secondly, it goes deep historically: after all, the Old New Year coincides with Basil's Day, when the Christmas holidays continue.
On the eve of the holiday, January 13, it was customary to be generous - to go from house to house singing generous songs, wishing the owners well-being and happiness in the New Year, and also that evening young girls told fortunes.
Today I will talk about fortune telling for the Old New Year, which I personally tested, were carried out repeatedly, and - you can believe it, you can not believe it and laugh - mystically came true or correctly predicted the future.
So, here they are - fortune telling for Christmas time. Try it, what if they give you a hint or tell you something?
The betrothed will give water to drink from the well
Similar fortune-telling was done with girlfriends while still in high school. Youth, longing, the desire to find out: what if this very boy really likes me?..
By the way, a little later, my acquaintances and girlfriends were repeatedly given water to drink by the very young men with whom fate later brought them together. Some people came out very unexpected. But, nevertheless, it’s difficult to argue with the facts!
In the dead of night, just before bed, you need to build a well of matches under your bed. The procedure is simple, however, it requires some patience, attention and concentration.
The ritual is performed with a lit candle (no electric light!). Everything must be done silently and quietly.
You get down on your knees and cast a spell, placing one match on top of another until you get a well like this:
A glass of water is placed next to it (similar to a bucket). After this, you need to go to bed and say mentally: “Betrothed, give me some water to drink.”
It is very important not to do any other actions (undress, go to the toilet, comb your hair, talk). All these needs must be done before fortune telling begins.
If at night you dream of someone who will give you water to drink (it doesn’t matter whether from a well or from a cup), then he is your one and only.
If you don’t dream about it, it means you won’t find a mate this year. If you dream of a stranger or can’t see their faces, you’ll definitely have a new admirer :)
Bible Prediction
A very interesting fortune telling, and the wise book seems to know what to tell you.
For fortune telling, you can get together with a friendly company (men can also participate in this).
A candle or several candles are lit on the table. The Bible is picked up one by one. All fortune tellers need to do only one action: open the book on a random page and, without looking, point your finger at any line and read it out loud.
The book is passed around. Can go around the circle three times, but no more. Your task is to remember what they say words of wisdom. Even if right now you don’t understand the meaning of what you read, believe me, later, you will definitely have a situation that is consonant with what you allegedly read by accident.
Everything is not fulfilled verbatim, of course. But the general meaning of the situations is very symbolic.
I’ll be honest: I’ve only participated in such fortune-telling a couple of times. Almost everything I read came true. But this is such a strong emotional shock at times (after all, you never know in advance what you will read - there are also not very good things), that in the future I was careful not to guess from the Bible.
Shadow divination
I became acquainted with this fortune-telling when I was a student. I really liked it, and we performed a similar ritual every year.
The girls are gathering. Fortune telling takes place in twilight, it is better to conduct it closer to midnight and with lit candles.
Each girl crumples a white sheet of paper in her hands. As he sees fit - strongly or not very much. One hand or two.
Then the crumpled leaf is placed on a saucer and set on fire. In this case, the flaming “torch” needs to be brought to a white wall (we had wallpaper, so we either hung the wall with a white sheet or white paper - the second option is better and safer).
Then you need to carefully look at the dancing shadows, peer into them and see a specific symbol. You can make assumptions to all girls, but it’s better if you see the symbol yourself.
For example, I remember very well when I saw an open book - I had to study and read a lot all year. My friend saw a baby stroller. At that moment she even young man it wasn’t, however, within a year she got married, and by the end she gave birth to a baby :).
Let's pour wax - predict fate
Pouring wax for fortune telling is a traditional activity. For fortune telling you need a piece of wax or wax candles.
The wax melts and the fortune tellers pour into cold water. Symbolic figures are sure to predict something for you for the coming year.
Wax with threads - travel or roads await you.
The wax curls into round drops of coins - the year will be financially profitable.
Wax forms a cross - to illnesses of you or your loved ones.
The result is a face - marriage is possible this year or a groom will appear.
Asterisks - to success or good luck.
A month of reflection and expectation.
Often it is not always possible to correctly interpret what will come out of the wax. But fortune telling itself is very emotional and exciting. That's why girls love him so much at all times.
Boot over the threshold
Very simple, but in my practice – effective fortune telling. Usually carried out among girls of marriageable age.
We wondered in a similar way more than once, as students. Several girls-girlfriends gather in a room (or apartment), each taking her own shoes in her hands. Since January is winter, we took boots. They crowded against the wall that led to the doors (although this is not essential, there must be a wall from which to count). They were determined in order. We simply shouted: “first boot!”, “second boot!” and so on.
And whose boot crosses the threshold of the house first - that girl will get married.
When my boot crossed the threshold, I laughed so hard that I even fell on the floor. At the beginning of the year, I didn’t even have a potential groom. And the girls already had permanent boyfriends.
However, a month later I met my future husband and got married in the summer. Let it be a coincidence, but a year before this, a similar thing happened to another friend of ours: her boot was the first to step on, and in the summer she got married.
Unfortunately, I no longer had to participate in such fortune-telling: firstly, I became a married lady, and secondly, my student years were over :)
What fate awaits your baby or who will your future husband be?
Fortune telling is also a traditional one. People usually wonder about their future husband: what will he be like? Put on a tray various items: a piece of bread, a glass, a coin (iron ruble), a mirror, a coal, and so on.
The tray is covered with a clean towel (preferably linen).
The girls take turns approaching the tray, putting their hand under the towel and randomly pulling out an object.
Bread - the husband will be hard-working, a mirror - written with beauties, a coin - rich, a glass - a drunkard, coal - poor.
You can modernize this fortune telling by adding other items to the tray: a pen, a notepad, a string, some part from a computer (for example, a USB cord). A pen is a writer, a notepad is a businessman, a string is a musician, a cord is a computer scientist.
Using exactly the same scheme, you can guess about your child’s choice of profession. Such fortune-telling is usually carried out with children one or two years old only once.
The principle is the same. Only the item should be reached by your child. My son, for example, did not stand on ceremony - he pulled out several objects at once. In general, the boy turned out to be talented, you already understood 🙂 But most of all he was interested in the pen. Looking forward to becoming a writer :).
Fortune telling using dumplings or what year the year will be
I really like this kind of fortune telling. It's more fun than globally significant. They are preparing for the Old New Year. And some of them come with a surprise. We usually put in a coin, salt, sugar, pepper, a handful of rice, peas, and a piece of walnut. Wedding ring never put it down. But some people do this too.
If you come across a sweet dumpling, the year will be good, fruitful, joyful.
If you come across a salty one, tears and tests of strength await.
Dumplings with rice - to prosperity, good harvests, addition to the family.
Dumplings with peas - get ready to travel and travel. Or even move.
Will crunch on your teeth walnut- the year will be financial and rich. Perhaps a rich groom will appear (it depends on who gets the nut).
If a coin hits your teeth, you won’t have time to count the money :). Just bags.
It is clear that any fortune telling is a delicate and subjective matter. And you don’t have to put your whole soul into it and believe any symbol unconditionally. It's more of a way to socialize and have fun. And accept all the good things that fortune telling for the New Year brings.

They advise you to get in a serious mood; girls need to let their hair down, untie all the knots on their clothes, remove their belt and other decorative elements, bracelets and rings. You need to mentally isolate yourself from reality and accurately formulate the question to which you want to receive an answer.
Fortune telling on paper
Take a piece of paper and crumple it up. Place it on the bottom of an inverted plate or saucer and set it on fire. After this, bring the saucer with the burnt paper to the wall and carefully turn it until some shadow appears on the wall; the outlines are used to judge the near future.
Fortune telling with cups
For fortune telling, you will need to take bowls corresponding to the number of fortune tellers. You need to put a ring, a coin, bread, sugar, onion, salt in them, and pour water into one cup. With their eyes closed, each of the fortune tellers, in turn, chooses a cup. If you come across a ring, then this is for wealth, if bread is for prosperity, a coin is for wealth, sugar is for fun, onions are for tears, salt is for misfortune, and a cup of water means for life without much change.
Fortune telling with a mirror
In absolute darkness, you need to sit in front of a mirror with a candle in the middle of the night. The main thing is that there is no one else in the room. You must look carefully at the reflective surface. In about five minutes it will fade. Then the betrothed will be reflected behind the glass. The girl must say “Forget me!”
Wax fortune telling
For fortune telling with wax, you will need two candles, one of which needs to be lit, and pieces of the other should be placed in a spoon and, heating the spoon, melt the wax over the burning candle.

Fortune telling for future children
On Christmas evening, you need to pour water into a glass, put a ring in it and put it out in the cold. Before going to bed, a glass is taken out of the cold and 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.
Fortune telling by book
Take any book and ask a question. After this, name the page number and the line number on it. What is written in the book at this point serves as the answer.
Fortune telling with a chain
When everyone is asleep, you need to take the gold chain, rub it between your palms, hold it in your right hand, shake it and throw it on the table.
If a circle is formed, closed troubles are expected, a stripe means luck, a knot means difficulties and illnesses, a triangle means love success, a bow means a wedding, a snake means betrayal, and a heart means love.
Our ancestors believed that fortune-telling during Christmas time was particularly accurate and reliable. This means that every person can lift the veil into the future and find out what awaits him on Old New Year and Epiphany, and quite independently.
And although the Church condemns any attempts to find out the future with the help of divination and magic, people have been guessing and continue to guess. The unknown and mystery have always attracted people, so many people rush on these holidays to tell fortunes about their betrothed, about the future, or to perform a ritual to attract money and good luck.
Fortune telling for the future and for the betrothed has always aroused the greatest interest among girls who longed to find out the name of their future spouse, or what is even “cooler” - to see his reflection in the mirror or in a wedding ring.
Sputnik Georgia asked what rituals and fortune-telling for the betrothed and for the future were performed on the Old New Year and Epiphany and which of them were the most popular.
In the old days, Christmas evenings were dedicated to divination and fortune-telling; accordingly, everyone who wants to look into their future, according to the traditions of their ancestors, can do this before the Epiphany, on any evening, including on the night of the Old New Year.
You can choose any fortune telling. The most popular of them are fortune telling for the fulfillment of a wish, for the future and, naturally, for the betrothed or betrothed.
In the old days, fortune telling was done on everything that came to hand - on rings, mirrors, beans, shoes, rice, onions, brooms, apples and even on fence boards, which is not difficult to do in our time.
The girl, with her arms outstretched, tried to grab as many boards in the fence as possible, and then counted them - an even number indicated imminent marriage, and an odd number indicated loneliness.
For the betrothed
It is very easy to find out the name of your future husband - you just need to go out into the street and ask the first man you meet to tell him his name.
On Old New Year and Epiphany, girls could not only find out the name of their betrothed, but even see his face in the mirror. To do this, in the midnight darkness, they sat down between two mirrors, lit candles and began to peer into the reflection, hoping to see their betrothed.
Girls also wondered with a mirror on the street. Standing at the crossroads with your back to the month, looking in the mirror and wishing: “Betrothed, disguised, show yourself to me in the mirror.” As some claim, the betrothed appears in the mirror after some time.
People considered fortune telling on the night of the Old New Year to be the most truthful, and they said that it was at this time that you could see your future spouse in a dream.
In particular, the girl let down and combed her hair, then put the comb under the pillow, calling with magic words to her future husband: “Mummer, come comb my head.”
And it was possible to find out what kind of betrothed one would be by fortune telling with card kings. To do this, on the night before the Old New Year, before going to bed, you need to put cards with images of kings under your pillow, and in the morning, without looking, pull out one card.
In the old days, people believed that whichever king they got, so would the husband: the king of diamonds - the betrothed one would be desired, the king of hearts - young and rich, the king of clubs - military, and the king of spades - old and jealous.
Where to look for a betrothed
During Christmas time you can also find out the place where to look for your betrothed. The following fortune telling will help with this: put several multi-colored buttons, preferably the same size.
Tune in and ask the question: “My dear, where are you?” and then take one of them out of the bag. According to the button, the answer will indicate where you will meet your destiny.
The meaning of buttons: simple black - at work, green - in the store, brown - with friends, white - on a trip, yellow - in transport, iron - he will be in the military, with rhinestones - in the cinema, theater or village club, blue - by chance street.
Ancient fortune telling
One of the most popular fortune telling for the Old New Year and Epiphany for young girls who wanted to know their future was “inviting the betrothed to dinner.”
Before starting fortune telling, the girl in empty room She covered the table with a tablecloth, put down, in addition to the knife and fork, the cutlery and said: “The betrothed-mummer, come to dinner with me.” Then she locked the windows and doors and waited alone for her betrothed.
The howling of the wind and blows on the windows and door indicated the approach of the groom, and then he appeared, sat down at the table and began to entertain her with conversation. The girl, without moving, was supposed to silently notice facial features and clothing and not answer questions.
Then, suddenly perking up, she asked point blank: “What’s your name?” The betrothed called his name and took something out of his pocket. At this moment the girl should have said: “Forget me!” - and the groom simply disappeared.
In the old days, people used to tell fortunes on Christmastide using a candle. They took a deep bowl and filled it halfway with water. On the edges of the bowl, pieces of paper were fastened on which questions were pre-written, such as “will I get married this year,” “will I have luck,” and so on.
Then a small candle was attached to a small wooden plank and lit so that the flame reached the edge of the attached pieces of paper. They lowered a board with a candle onto the water and looked. The prediction was that piece of paper with a question that the candle would burn.
Other fortune telling
The potential bride or groom, with their eyes closed, takes out a grain from a canvas bag of beans and examines it. If there are no spots or chips on the grain, then they will soon have a wedding. And if there are spots, then their number indicates how many years to wait before the wedding.
Fortune telling on things for the future was popular among girls. They took a felt boot and put several different objects there. For example, a piece of sugar, meaning a happy and comfortable life, a ring - marriage, a scarf - a handsome husband, a rag - a poor husband, an onion - tears, a coin - a rich husband, and so on.
They shook the felt boots and, without looking, took out the object that came to hand first, and used it to predict fate.
The girls and their friends were guessing using a thread. They cut the threads to the same length and set them on fire at the same time. Whose thread burns out faster than others will marry first. And if the thread immediately goes out or burns only halfway, then, alas, you are not destined to get married.
They also guessed from the book. They took a book and, before opening it, wished for the page number and the line at the top or bottom. Then the book was opened and read in the hidden place. What was read was interpreted in accordance with the wish made for marriage, prosperity, future, and so on.
During the Old New Year they also used fortune telling. On January 13, before going to bed, they wrote 12 wishes on separate pieces of paper, folded the sheets neatly and put them under the pillow. Waking up, in the morning they pulled out three of them, which were sure to be fulfilled in the new year.
Some take fortune telling very seriously, others with a bit of humor, as one of the pastimes during the holidays. And we can only wish you good luck and happiness in the coming Old New Year.

Fortune telling for the groom
There is nothing difficult at all about doing such fortune-telling yourself for the Old New Year 2019 on pieces of paper. You will need to cut 12 pieces of paper, then write a man's name on each one. Fold the pieces of paper and put them under the pillow, mix.In the morning, the first thing the girl opens her eyes, she must take out the piece of paper. Whatever name they come across, that’s what they’ll call their husband. It should be noted here that one and 12 pieces of paper must be left blank: after all, the husband’s name will not necessarily be one of the names that the girl knows.
Important! It is worth noting separately that even if when writing the name the girl imagined who
means, this does not mean at all that this particular guy will become the betrothed. We are not talking about a specific person here, but about a name.
On request
Almost the same principle is used to carry out fortune telling for the Old New Year 2019 on pieces of paper to make a wish come true. You need to take 12 pieces of paper and write your wish on each: that you would like it to come true in the new year. Place under your pillow, stir and go to bed.In the morning, you should first pull out one piece of paper. This wish that is written on it will definitely come true in 2019. Next, pull out two more pieces of paper - these wishes will come true, but only if a person puts a lot of effort, labor and faith into their fulfillment.
On the ring
Of course, in the old New Year, not only fortune-telling with papers is carried out; other options can be considered. Let's say with a gold ring. You will need to take a ring and several bowls. Place the bowls on the table upside down and place a ring in one of them. Now girls who take part in fortune telling and do not know where the ring is must point to a specific bowl.When everyone has decided on their choice, a check is done. The girl who guessed where the ring is will definitely be matchmaker or even get married in the new year.
What will the husband be like?
Another interesting fortune telling for big company for the Old New Year. You will need to put bread, a glass and a coin, a mirror and a coal on the tray. Cover the tray with a towel and the girls must pull out one thing from there. If this is bread, then the husband will be hard-working. If a girl pulls out a mirror, it prophesies handsome husband, a coin is a symbol of wealth, a glass is a symbol of drunkenness. The ember points to the poor husband, but this does not mean at all that he will bad person! In honor of the holiday you can doIn a dream
You can also ask to see your betrothed in a dream during the Christmastide. The girl must wash herself, put on a clean shirt, loosen and comb her hair. Before going to bed, you need to ask three times for your betrothed to come and show his face.
Of course, all these for the Old New Year 2019, on pieces of paper or other options are, first of all, a way to have fun and have fun. You should not take such predictions too seriously. A person can influence his own destiny and, if you think about good things and believe, then, regardless of predictions, everything will happen exactly like this in life.
