On what days you can guess. The best time for predictions on cards
Professional predictors do not adhere to any strict routine in their work, but people who are just beginning to comprehend the laws mystical world, many questions arise. On what days can you guess, and when should you refrain from doing so? It is worth considering that all the rules below are not dogma; rather, they are advisory in nature.
A smart bid for successCommunication with subtle world- a rather labor-intensive process with an unclear result. How do you know if cards or other “means at hand” are ready to make contact and lift the veil over the foggy future? It is known that the right start of any business is half the success. That is why it is better to move from theory to practice on the waxing moon; it is at this time that the stars react favorably to the most unusual experiments and favor those who are looking for their own path.
For ordinary everyday issues (for example, in the “daily” layout on tarot cards or the “card of the day” on playing cards), you can “try your luck” at any time. Is it possible to guess on Monday? Without any doubt - especially if the object of interest is a young man. It is believed that every week has “women’s” and “men’s” days - and Monday belongs to the latter. It is also recommended to play so-called weekly solitaire games on Monday. It is best to ask questions to higher powers about the fate of lovely ladies on Wednesday or Friday.
Some practitioners give a negative answer to the question of whether it is possible to tell fortunes on Sunday. This prejudice is due to the characteristics Christian faith- the last day of the week is dedicated to God, this is a time of rest from any work (including magical ones). Also, you should not resort to pagan practices on major church holidays, primarily on Easter.
On the other hand, our ancestors knew for sure that there are several special days in the year when the line between the worlds becomes as thin as possible. At this time, it is much easier to receive reliable answers from higher spheres, ghosts, and spirits. When deciding which days are best for fortune telling, don’t miss Halloween, the period from Christmas to Epiphany ( holy week), a decade before Ivan Kupala.
Congenital magical abilities for most practitioners, they become aggravated during the full moon. Shrouded in a special mystical flair New Year, St. Andrew's Night (December 13), as well as any Friday if it falls on the 13th.
When should you give up trying to know the future? It’s not so important when you can guess. It is much more important to avoid taboo moments that are not related to the date or day of the week. The most important taboos for a predictor are a state of acute stress, physical illness, alcohol or drug intoxication, mortal fatigue. It is allowed to start fortune-telling only with a fresh mind, when feeling great and in a cheerful mood. Otherwise, the energy costs incurred may be too heavy a blow from which it will not be easy to recover.
From time immemorial, in Russia it has been customary to tell fortunes on the January holidays - in the interval between Christmas and Epiphany. From January 7 to January 19 comes the time in which, as our ancestors believed, higher powers could predict the future most accurately.
Probably on Christmas night we all feel the magic around us. It is believed that on Christmas, various ghosts, spirits and evil spirits penetrate our world and try to contact us. Knowing this, our ancestors tried to look into the future on Christmas Eve, see secret signs and change their lives.
What days are best to guess in January 2018
January 5–13 – Holy evenings. It was believed that fortune telling was most reliable precisely on these January days.
January 7 is the Day of St. Catherine the Woman-Giver, who is the patroness of girls’ destinies. Since ancient times, unmarried women have lit candles on this day in front of the image of St. Catherine in the temple so that she would send them good companion life. Young unmarried men kept fast on this day, hoping for a successful marriage.
January 13 is the feast of the Apostle Andrew the First-Called, which is also called St. Andrew's evening. The girls made fortunes about their future groom - both from the 12th to the 13th, and from the 13th to the 14th of January.
From January 16th to 17th - Varvarin Day, an ancient folk holiday. The day before, the girls cut a cherry twig and put it in the water. The one whose branch bloomed in the spring was soon to get married. Also on this day, girls of marriageable age made dumplings and offered the food to the guys. It was believed that if he ate a dumpling prepared by one of the girls, he would soon marry her.

The brownie is a spirit that guards living quarters, he warns the owner against misfortunes and troubles, and on Christmas night he is able to lift the dark curtain that hides the future of his charges.

HOW TO TELL FOR CHRISTMAS BEFORE BED (On the night of January 6-7)
Fortune telling for kings
On the night of January 6-7, before going to bed, girls need to put playing cards with the image of kings. In the morning, without looking, you should pull 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 military, the king of hearts is young and rich, and the king of diamonds is desirable.
Fortune telling for a love dream
Before going to bed, a fortune-telling girl needs to eat something salty and under no circumstances wash it down with water. When going to bed, you need to say: “Betrothed, mummer, come to me and give me something to drink!” According to legend, whoever comes to give you something to drink is the one you will marry.
(function(w, d, n, s, t) (
w[n] = w[n] || ;
w[n].push(function() (
Ya.Context.AdvManager.render((
blockId: "R-A-251158-2",
renderTo: "yandex_rtb_R-A-251158-2",
t = d.getElementsByTagName("script");
s = d.createElement("script");
s.type = "text/javascript";
s.src = "//an.yandex.ru/system/context.js";
t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t);
))(this, this.document, "yandexContextAsyncCallbacks");
Fortune telling for the betrothed with a stocking
Girls will have to prepare for this fortune telling in advance - buy stockings. Before going to bed, you need to put on a new stocking on one leg and go to bed. At the same time, the girl must say: “Betrothed, mummer, come take off my shoes.” A man who takes off a fortune-telling girl’s stocking in a dream will become her husband.
Fortune telling on mirrors
This fortune telling is not suitable for everyone, but rather for those who like to tickle their nerves. It is popularly considered one of the most dangerous.
For fortune telling, two mirrors (large enough and, if possible, equal in size) are taken, placed opposite each other and illuminated by two candles. It is best to place one mirror opposite the illuminated wall mirror, so that you get a long corridor illuminated with lights. All animals and strangers must be removed from the room. If it’s very scary, you can leave a couple of modest people, however, they should not make a sound, not look in the mirror and not approach the fortuneteller.
At the end of the corridor formed between the two mirrors, a narrowed one should appear. True, sometimes you have to look for a very long time, but you can see not only your betrothed, but also all sorts of evil spirits...
Fortune Telling with Dumplings
One of the most traditional fortune telling for Christmas.
The hostess of the house, inviting guests, prepares dumplings with potatoes, and puts some filling in the form of small surprises. The essence of fortune telling is that no one knows what he will get, and it is by the filling of the dumpling that they determine what awaits a person in the next year.
For example:
- Lollipop - life in next year will be sweet;
- Paper bill - big money awaits you;
- Thread - for a long road or journey;
- Candies such as dragees are a new addition to the family;
- Black peppercorn - means life with a peppercorn;
- Button - many interesting new things.
SIMPLE DIVINATIONS
Fortune telling for the betrothed
In order to find out the name of her future husband, a girl just needs to go out into the street and ask the first man she meets to tell him his name.
Fortune telling by book
It is necessary to prepare the book in advance with suitable content. Without opening the book, the girls guess the page number and the line at the top or bottom. Then they open the book to the desired page and read the required lines. Depending on what worries the fortuneteller the most, the chosen paragraph is interpreted.
Fortune telling 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 the liquid from one glass to another. He does this several times. After this, 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, it is difficult to implement it.
The desire to look into the future, especially in difficult times life situations, has always troubled people's minds. Fortune telling practices are different and each direction has its own lucky dates when you can tell fortunes. These days, the answers to questions about the future will be the most clear and truthful. It is believed that one should not guess during church holidays, but dissonance arises. After all, fortune telling during the Christmas holidays, Holy Baptism and the Trinity became an immortalized folk tradition.
Best time for predictions on mapsAlready several centuries ago, with the help of rites and rituals, our ancestors tried to find out what the harvest would be like and what to expect in the coming year. Caring mothers and grandmothers, concerned about the fate of the younger women in the family, tried to look into the future and see when their betrothed would come to the house. Over time, regular practices made it possible to identify the most successful days for searching for answers.
Predictions using Tarot or using a playing deck are the most flexible methods. Such fortune telling does not imply layouts in certain days. The fortuneteller may encounter a situation where the cards do not want to speak, but this does not depend on the day of the week or lunar day.
An experienced fortuneteller will never make a spread if, when he picks up the deck, he intuitively feels discomfort. Another way the cards communicate to the fortuneteller that they do not want to talk is that the deck begins to crumble and involuntarily fall out. In this case, the search for an answer is postponed for several days.
Depending on religious affiliation some fortune tellers avoid readings on days that are significant for their church. But from the point of view of religion, fortune telling is initially considered a sinful process. An inexperienced practitioner begins to get acquainted with favorable days intuitively.
A novice fortuneteller should use strong dates in the first stages. For example, the night of Friday the 13th. During practice, the fortuneteller can note his feelings and, by keeping a diary of predictions, track their reliability.
You can start guessing not only on Friday the 13th. It is worth paying attention to the days of power. Predictions will be successful on Sunday, Monday and Friday. They are associated with the planets responsible for intuition: Venus and the Moon. Therefore, the interpretations will be perceived much easier, and less time will be needed to set up.
Lucky days according to the lunar calendarFavorable days for fortune telling they are divided according to the planets ruling over them. Some days will help you get the right answers to questions about your career, others will help you find out the reasons for bad luck in love. However, this does not apply to traditional Christmas, Maslenitsa and New Year's predictions.

Fortune telling rulesThere are many options for fortune telling in winter. Everyone chooses the best numbers and times independently. Women most often want to look into the future. Girls have long been interested in finding out what fate has in store for them.
When conducting fortune telling for the Christmas holidays and Epiphany, the fortuneteller must:
- Let your hair down. Long women's hair has long been considered a magnet for evil spirits. And if they are loose, the evil one will certainly turn his attention to the fortuneteller.
- Remove all amulets and jewelry: pectoral cross, earrings, rings and bracelets.
- Conduct fortune telling only in an empty house or room. Most good place in the old days there were canopies.
To protect yourself from the action of evil spirits, you need to draw a circle around yourself with a candle or poker. If a group of girls is telling fortunes, everyone takes each other's little fingers.
The color of the candles plays an important role:
- When fortune telling for love, it is better to light red and white candles.
- For fate - blue and purple.
- Green and gold are used for success in business and finance.
On New Year's Eve, fortune telling is most often carried out in company. They can be truthful and humorous. With simple steps you can find out what awaits everyone next year.
According to the book
Everyone picks up any book they like. Before you begin the process, you should mentally ask a question. The main thing is to formulate it succinctly.
After this, the fortuneteller sets the page and line number (top or bottom). If the line is dropped from incomplete sentence, you need to read it in its entirety. The dropped expression will be the answer to the question posed. You can guess on the same book no more than three times per evening.
By pillow
This fortune telling is usually carried out on the old New Year. Before going to bed, the fortuneteller must put the pillowcase on the pillow inside out. He himself puts on his pajamas inside out and lies down on the bed with his head where his legs usually point.
In the morning you need to see on which side the person woke up. If it's on the pillow right cheek, his wish will soon come true, if the left one - the time for fulfillment has not yet come.
For coffeeCoffee fortune-telling is carried out on the old New Year. The drink must be drunk insoluble and without sugar.

Although the church remains opposed to any fortune-telling, the tradition of fortune-telling from January 6 to 7 has been preserved to this day. Many people believe that fortune telling during the Christmas holidays is a harmless fortune telling that is not considered a sin.
Christmas fortune-telling should be carried out only on the holiday itself and on its eve - on any other days they lose their relevance and do not bring any results. Fortune telling is also allowed during Christmas time, or the so-called fortune-telling week - the period between Christmas and Epiphany.

You need to make a well yourself from matches or thin twigs. It should be placed next to you or under the bed. When going to bed, you need to say: “Mummer, come and take me across the bridge.”
A man should appear in a dream and lead the sleeping woman by his arm across the bridge. If the devil appears instead, the girl will remain alone for a long time.
On the water and ridgeFortune telling can be done in two ways:
One of the most dangerous and terrible fortune telling is considered to be divination using a mirror. You will need 2 red or white, as well as 2 mirrors, identical in size. Only the fortuneteller should remain in the room. There should be no strangers or animals. The girl needs to take off all her jewelry and cross and let her hair down. First, turn off the lights in the room and only then light the candles.
Mirrors must be placed one opposite the other, with candles placed on both sides.
It is necessary to make sure that, looking in one mirror, the girl sees the reflection of another, that is, an illuminated mirrored corridor, and not herself.
The fortuneteller sits down on her knees in front of the mirror, says: “The betrothed, come to me,” and begins to peer into the mirrored corridor. This is where fortune telling begins. Sometimes it can take a long time before someone comes.
In addition to the betrothed one, you can see in the mirror evil spirits or even a deceased person. Therefore, as soon as someone other than the betrothed begins to look through the mirror, the girl needs to quickly say: “Forget me! "and throw a thick cloth over the mirrors. If you don't say it in time the right words, a red mark may remain on the fortuneteller’s face for life.

Attention should only be paid to its upright or inverted position.

As is clear, to decipher this fortune telling you will have to use your imagination. But certain figures are more common than others, for example, a circle (ring, wreath) - this is a prediction of an imminent marriage. A bad sign the shape of a coffin or a snake is considered, but a winch or a mushroom is good shape, which promise success and good luck in the future.
It so happens that the wax does not fall into some large figure, but is represented by smaller ones. This is also a positive sign that indicates good things in financially in 2018. If the figure resembles an apple in outline, this is also positive sign, indicating success and prosperity. If an egg appears, then according to this fortune-telling it is deciphered as a symbol of fears that have no basis.
Fortune telling for children
During Christmas time, when fortune telling is happening in January 2018, it is also customary to find out how many children there will be and what gender they will be. This ritual is relevant for those who are already married, and fortune telling for the betrothed has lost its relevance. To perform the ritual you need a glass of water. You will need to take it out into the cold at night, and take it home in the morning and see how the water has frozen.
The bumps on the surface of the ice indicate how many boys there will be in the family. Pits on the surface of the ice are a prediction about the number of girls in the family.

With matches
This fortune telling will help a girl understand whether she is destined to be with the guy she likes the most. You need to take a new box of matches, take two matches out of it and put them in the corners of the box. Then light the matches at the same time (you first need to determine for yourself which match symbolizes you and which match symbolizes the guy).
If the couple has a future, then the matches will be drawn towards each other during the burning process. Otherwise, the matches will diverge in different directions when burning.
