- then see which way it rolls.
If the egg rolled towards the buckwheat, then the future husband will be rich and generous. Rice portends falling in love with a married man, millet speaks of a fair-haired man, semolina promises a groom from the north, and pearl barley promises a military man. Water means that the girl will have to move after the wedding. If the egg remains in place, then next year you can’t expect marriage.
You can also learn about the character of your betrothed with the help of animals and birds. In the late evening of January 13, you need to go outside. Whichever living creature comes across first on the road, with such a disposition will be the spouse. A cat portends an affectionate and cunning man, a dog – a faithful one, and a bird – a creative and gifted person.
To find out how it turns out family life, you can also tell fortunes in this way: on Old New Year, pour three piles of grain at the gate. In the morning, see if it remains in place or the piles are destroyed. In the first case, the marriage will be happy, in the second - unhappy.
In the name of the betrothed
The peel of the apple is carefully cut off with a thin continuous strip. If during the process it suddenly broke off, the fortune telling did not work. You need to throw the cut skin over your right shoulder and see what letter the resulting figure resembles. It is with her that the name of the future husband will begin.
Another interesting and fun fortune telling, which is carried out on the occasion of the Old New Year. The girls go out into the street and stop the first passers-by they come across, asking their names. First reported male name and will belong to the spouse.
How to see the groom?
You can look at the appearance of your future spouse in a prophetic dream. As a rule, fortune telling by sleep is simple and safe, but at the same time it is distinguished by truthfulness.
To see your betrothed in a dream, you need to put a handful of hay that was lying near the icons in your right shoe on January 7, Christmas. And on the eve of the Old New Year, put it under the pillow and say: “Who is my betrothed, he will dream about this night.” In a dream, a girl will see her future husband.
You can make a dream about your betrothed in this way: you need to hide a small mirror and a comb under the pillow and say: “Come, come. Comb it, comb it. Look at me, show yourself." At night you will definitely dream about your future husband.
For the same purpose, they tell fortunes on cards. Four kings from a new playing deck are placed under the pillow. At the same time, you need to pronounce a spell: “Who is my betrothed, who is my mummer, dream about me.” The king of spades in a dream means that the girl is about to marry an elderly man, the club of clubs is a marriage with a divorced or widower, the one of hearts foretells a wealthy handsome man, and the king of diamonds - a desired and beloved one.
The most terrible fortune-telling, which can be performed on the night of January 13-14 and during the entire Christmas period, is considered to be a ritual with mirrors and candles. With its help you can see your future spouse in reflection. It is held at midnight alone. Need to:
- take two identical mirrors;
- install them opposite each other;
- light two candles lit in the church and place them side by side;
- peer into the flame-lit mirror tunnel;
- at the end of it the devil will appear in the form of the future betrothed;
- as soon as this happens, you need to quickly say: “Forget me.”
It is necessary to cover up the evil spirits so that they do not penetrate into reality and drag the girl into the world of the looking glass. According to another belief, words of amulets should be pronounced so that the betrothed does not live in the mirror, otherwise the girl will never meet him.
Will your wish come true?
“If the red maiden makes a wish for Vasily, everything will come true, but what will come true will not pass!” - said popular beliefs. Ancient fortune telling On a holiday, wishes are distinguished by simplicity and variety. Here are some of them:
- 1. Take a book of any content and make a wish. Then open any page at random and point your finger at any paragraph, by which you should judge whether your plan will come true or not.
- 2. Fill one glass to the top with water, and leave the second empty. Think about something and pour water from one glass to another over the table several times. Carefully inspect the surface over which the ritual was performed: if the table is dry or a little water has been spilled, the wish will come true, if a lot - not.
- 3. Fill the cup with rice. Say the magic words over it: “Tell me, fate, what should I expect: good or evil” and make a wish. At the same time, pour all the rice onto the table. Then select black or bad grains from the scattered grains and count them. An odd number foreshadows the fulfillment of a dream, and an even number indicates that the wish will not come true.
- 4. Throw a ring without stones, preferably an engagement ring, into a transparent glass with a flat bottom filled with water. Light a candle and place it on the left side of the glass. Exactly at 12 o'clock at night on January 13, make a wish and look closely at the center of the ring. After some time, the water in the glass will become cloudy and an image will appear that will tell you whether it will come true or not.
- 5. You can find out whether your plan will come true or not on the morning of January 14th. At the entrance to the church it is necessary to count the parishioners. You need to count the first thirteen people. If there are more men, then the answer is positive; if there are women, the wish will not come true.
- 1. If the fortuneteller has an elevator in her house, then you can ask him about the fulfillment of wishes. In the evening of Old New Year, you need to go out onto the site, think of a question and wait for someone to call the elevator. If he goes up, the desired will come true, if down, it won’t come true.
- 2. You can also use your phone to cast a spell. You need to think of a question, concentrate and look at the phone. If you receive a call from a man in the near future, your wish will come true; if you receive a call from a woman, your wish will not come true. It should be noted that you should expect a call not only on January 13, but also on January 14.
- 3. The next ritual is suitable for lovers of sweets. It is often used for fortune telling specifically for the Old New Year. You should fill the glass with champagne. On the night of January 14, a minute before midnight, think of any wish and ask: “Will the wish come true?” Then throw a small piece of chocolate into the glass.
