Simple fortune telling for Christmas time at home. Christmas time as an occasion to make new acquaintances

Fortune telling is an integral part of Christmas time. Despite the fact that fortune telling in the period from January 7 to January 19 is associated with borders Orthodox holidays, they have nothing to do with true Christianity. Fortune telling is an ancient custom, but not at all religious. The Church has long prohibited and prohibits any fortune-telling; it considers it harmful to the soul.

Vasilyev's evening (January 13) and Epiphany's Christmas Eve (January 18) are considered particularly “prophetic” days for fortune telling. Although, according to old belief, for the betrothed last time you can tell fortunes on the night of January 13th to 14th.

By the way, you should always guess in a good mood!

But the easiest way to find out your future is to simply get enough sleep. Dreams these days are the most prophetic.

Fortune telling for the betrothed with a mirror

Fortune telling by mirror is considered one of the most dangerous Russian Christmas fortune telling for one's betrothed. (Why - I recommend reading the “Mirrors” section on this site, especially “A Look Through the Looking Glass”. Links will open in a new window) .

Fortune telling begins at midnight, the girl must be alone in the room and she often faints from fear.

For fortune telling you will need a mirror and a candle. Let your hair down; if you are wearing a belt, take it off. Place the mirror in front of you, next to it there is a candle, which should be the only source of light. Quietly say the spell: “Mummer, come to me for dinner,” and look in the mirror. The appearance of the groom is heralded by a slight flickering of a candle and a fogged or darkened mirror. Look carefully at left shoulder of your reflection. Examine the face and say the amulet spell: “Beware of this place!” After these words, the image of the man will disappear, and you will be out of danger.

You can tell fortunes using two mirrors. Place them opposite each other, and candles between them. If you did everything correctly, a kind of corridor should appear in the reflection. Leave only your closest friends in the room, but they should not disturb you or comment. Start peering into the corridor and wait for the groom to appear. After completing the fortune telling, it is also necessary to cast a talisman spell.

Fortune telling by scraps

This fortune telling will help you find out about the appearance of your betrothed or betrothed. You need to guess alone, on any holy day, preferably at dusk. Place scraps of fabric in a box different colors- white, black, red, brown. Ask the question: “What color will my fiancée’s hair be?” Then take out any piece of paper. White means light hair, black means dark hair, red means red hair, brown means light brown hair. In the same way, you can find out eye color, nose length and other external signs.

Fortune telling for the future husband

1. “Christmas time has come, what a joy, windy youth is guessing,” wrote Pushkin, describing this interesting Christmas fortune telling. At all times, young girls went out at night and asked the first man they met his name. It was considered the name of the future husband.

2. The names of possible candidates for marriage are written on the bulbs. They put them in the water. Which bulb will sprout first - on behalf of that, wait for the proposal.

3. Write little notes with names, roll them up and put them under the pillow. The next morning they pull one out and read the name of the betrothed.

Fortune telling - who the future husband will be

One of the most interesting fortune telling for Christmas. Objects are laid out on the table from which the husband’s profession can be guessed. In the old days it was bread, a book, keys, coal, meaning the work of a peasant, blacksmith, priest and merchant. Nowadays modern things are used, but among them there should be wedding ring. A blindfolded girl chooses an object. If a ring comes into her hands, it means she will certainly get married in the coming year, but who this person will be is unknown.

Scissors - this will be a fashion designer, a computer disk - a programmer, a candle - a priest, a pen - a writer (official), a knife - a military man, a glass - a drunkard, cereal - a businessman, ashes - a loser, a coin - generous, a mirror - a dandy (reveler), a hatchet - wicked. And if a girl comes across a piece of coal, she will be a bride for another year.

Fortune telling by thread

Only girls use the thread to tell fortunes. Thread three threads into three needles - black, white and red. Have someone carefully pin them to the back of your clothing. Without knowing in what order the needles are located, you pull out one thread. Red thread - rejoice - this year you will get married and have a child. Belaya - the road to the registry office is closed to you for now. Black - better pay attention to your career: marriage will not bring you happiness.

Fortune telling on coffee grounds

Mountains are obstacles on the path of life.

Tree - deliverance from diseases, fulfillment of desires.

The key is to health, prosperity, wealth, happiness in love.

The road is two tracks or two rails - to near changes, if the lines are winding - the path is difficult.

A turn is associated with drastic changes in life.

One big star in the center of the cup is a warning: it’s time to change the nature of your activity, otherwise troubles await you.

The contours of an airplane signify an unexpected journey.

Cross - troubles, suffering, anxiety, illness.

Coffin - sad news, losses, regrets.

Melt the wax and then quickly, in one bold motion, pour it into the bowl of cold water. And look, look! Silhouettes, shapes and strange patterns can tell a lot about the future.

The bell always means news. A bell that is straight on all sides portends good things, a curved bell means bad things, and several bells mean alarm.

Asterisk(s) – good luck at work or in school.

A leaf from a tree - someone is up to no good, they envy you and weave intrigues behind your back.

The Monkey promises betrayal, false friends and lies.

Pants foreshadow quick choice on the path of life.

Flower - congratulations! - promises a happy marriage or a romantic meeting.

Human figure - a new friend will appear.

If a figure resembling an apple is formed from wax, take a closer look - the smoother it is, the better sign If the apple turns out to be crooked, a temptation awaits you in the future, which you should refuse.

The egg has always symbolized new life, be it either the birth of a child or changes in life. In any case, it will be something new and unknown.

It has long been believed that this is how gypsies told fortunes. To do this, they used a round wooden board to cut bread with a diameter of about 30 centimeters. You can easily get by with a piece of cardboard or a large tray, along the edges of which you need to write answers to the most frequently asked questions:
- yes
- No
- be patient
- there is an enemy nearby, hiding under the guise of a friend
- good news
- love message
- good luck in business
- unexpected guests
- Love
- today's tears will be replaced by joy tomorrow
- unexpected news
- journey
- important letter
- new love
- postpone making a decision

Place an ordinary kitchen knife in the center of the circle and mentally formulate a question. Spin the knife three times. The answer will be a message that will be shown by the tip of the knife for the first time. The other two may be the cause or effect of the predicted event.

If the tip of the knife stops at an equal distance from the two messages, the fortune telling must be repeated.
