Holy divination. Christmas time is the best time for divination
Between church holidays Christmas time lasts for 12 days with the birth and baptism of Christ.
By Slavic tradition Christmas time begins with Kolyada (Birth of the Sun) or Christmas on January 7th and ends with Epiphany on January 19th.
On the evening of Christmas Eve on January 6, people, more often children, wear a supper to their godparents (This is sweet rice with raisins or other ingredients, and it can also be unleavened boiled rice without fillers. Kutya is poured with sweet syrup.) For this they are thanked with money by those who brought kutya . This tradition is well preserved in rural areas.
On the same evening, when the first star appears, you can make a wish and it will come true. Or go outside at midnight and look at the sky, when you see the first star, guess the secret.
When you can guess at Christmas time
Eventually Christmas divination are held from the night of January 6 to 7 until midnight on January 19 of each year. A special time for holding the truthful and most accurate divination considered at midnight from 13 to 14 January (old New Year, Vasiliev evening) and in the evening from 18 to 19 January (Epiphany Eve). You can also choose any holy day. Remember that the last day for divination is the evening of January 18th. And January 19 will already be the Epiphany of the Lord and you can’t guess.

During Christmas and Christmas fortune-telling, you can look for only good meaning in all predictions. Bad omens should not be given of great importance otherwise you will set yourself up for failure in the new year.
We have tried to collect the most interesting and reliable Christmas divination, which we hope will help you uncover the secrets of the future.
Christmas divination by barking dogs
At midnight, take a knife, go out into the street, go up to a snowdrift and start cutting the snow with a knife, saying: “Damn, damn, don’t be silent, damn, damn, tell me what kind of husband will I get, will I have to laugh or cry?”.
After saying the words of the spell, shut up and listen carefully to the barking of dogs. If a vicious, abrupt bark is heard, it means that future husband will be strict and gloomy.
If the dogs bark merrily and loudly, then the husband will also be cheerful and kind.
It is very bad if a dog howl is heard during fortune-telling. This suggests that the marriage will be short-lived and very quickly the young wife will become a widow.
Christmas divination on wax (candles)
Take cinders of wax or paraffin candles white color(holiday colored candles are not suitable for divination), put in a metal bowl, melt over a fire and immediately pour into a container with cold water. The figure formed at the same time will predict the future that awaits the fortuneteller.
Interpretation of figures
House - soon acquiring a new economy; for a girl, this is primarily due to her marriage.
Shapeless ruins - misfortune in the near future.
A pit, small cave or grotto is the most undesirable figure, since it symbolizes the burial place and predicts serious illness or near death.
Trees - they can be interpreted in different ways: the upward branches of a tree promise quick joy, drooping - sadness, longing and boredom.
A ring or a candle definitely predicts a quick wedding.
A pancake that has sunk to the bottom, on the contrary, promises a long girlhood.
Fortune telling on wax and milk
Pour milk into a saucer and place on the threshold. Take cinders wax candles, put in a metal bowl and melt on the fire, saying: "Brownie, my master, come under the threshold to drink milk, eat wax."
Saying the last word spells, pour wax into milk and carefully examine the resulting figure.
Interpretation of figures
The cross is a disease; if its outlines are fuzzy, then soon you should prepare for a series of minor troubles that will affect all aspects of life.
A blooming flower - a wedding in a year.
Animal - an ill-wisher has appeared in a close environment.
A scattering of small stars - good luck in business.
Stripes with blurry edges - trip, business trip, moving, travel.
The human figure is the imminent appearance of a new friend.
Divination by shadow
Take a newspaper sheet and crumple it well (but do not roll it into a tight ball!). Put the crumpled paper on a plate and set it on fire. When the paper is completely burnt out, put a candle next to the plate and look at the shadow that the burnt newspaper casts on the wall. The meaning of the figures that have arisen is similar to the interpretation of wax figures.
Divination by hair
At midnight, pour water into a bowl and add a pinch of ash, a pinch of sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix the water thoroughly, and when it “calms down”, throw two hairs into it: one is yours, and the other is a loved one. Leave the bowl until morning.
If the next morning the hair is intertwined with each other, then the wedding is just around the corner. If the hair is at some distance from each other, then the hour of separation is near.
A sunken hair predicts a serious illness, and possibly the death of the one to whom it belongs.
Christmas divination by ring
Take an ordinary glass with smooth walls (without a pattern and polishing), pour water into it by 3/4 of the volume and carefully lower it to the middle of the bottom wedding ring pre-cleaned. Looking closely at the very center of the ring, you can see the betrothed. Just to see it, you need to look into the ring for quite some time.
Divination by the log
Go into the woodshed, close the door so that it is dark in the room, and choose a log at random. Bring it into the house and carefully examine it: how it turns out to be golden, so will the future husband.
Divination interpretation
The log is even, with a smooth thin bark - the husband is handsome and young.
The bark is thick, rough - the husband is ugly.
The bark on the log is peeled in places or completely absent - the husband is poor.
Cracked log - the husband will come across old, pockmarked, with a physical defect.
A large log is a strong, strong husband.
Knotty log - the family will be big: each knot is an unborn child.
If the log was not at hand, then any tree in the park, square or forest can replace it.
To do this, you need to blindfold, ask someone you know to "unwind" you, as in the game "cat and mouse", and only after that go in search of the "oracle".
All the characteristics that were given to the log will be valid for the tree.
Fortune telling by egg
Pour water into a glass and pour protein into it raw egg. Put the glass in a heated oven so that the protein curls up. After that, remove the glass and carefully look at the resulting figure.
Interpretation of figures
Church dome or ring - fast wedding.
Rectangle or square - a serious illness, death.
Ship - moving after marriage to another city or country.
A pancake that has sunk to the bottom is a series of adversities and troubles, a long girlhood.
Divination by shoe
Go beyond the outskirts of the village, remove the shoe from the left foot and throw it forward over the shoulder with the toe. Where the sock turns, from there you have to wait for the matchmakers. If the sock looks towards the mistress of the shoe, then in next year She doesn't have to wait for a wedding.
Fortune telling by rooster
This fortune-telling is collective, therefore, on Christmas Eve or Epiphany Eve, several girls should gather in one room and “count”. Large grains should be scattered on the floor and at exactly midnight a black rooster should be brought into the room. His behavior will be the answer to the question about the future of fortunetellers.
If the rooster pecked all the grains, then next year the one who poured the grains will marry.
If part of the grains still remained on the floor, then the one whose number matches the number of pecked grains will marry.
If the rooster refused to treat at all, then not a single wedding will take place next year, and for all those present, the near future will be overshadowed by many minor troubles and failures.
Fortune telling "Well and bridge"
Pull out a few twigs from an ordinary household broom, build a bridge out of them and put it under the pillow until morning with the words: “Who is my betrothed, who is my mummer, he will take me across the bridge.”
After that, at night in a dream, the girl is likely to see her future husband.
Matches can be used instead of twigs. Build a well out of them and put it under the pillow in the same way with the words: "Narrowed, mummers, come get some water."
Nut shell divination
Pour water into a basin. At the edges of the basin, attach strips of paper on which events are written, for example, a wedding, a trip, receiving money, new job etc. (if the fortuneteller is alone), or the names of all those present who want to know their future. In the second case, one event is thought of, in particular, a wedding, engagement, acquaintance with a future spouse, etc.
Take half of the shell walnut and fix the cinder of a church or birthday candle in it. Light a candle and push the "boat" to the middle of the pelvis. From there, the shell itself should swim to one of the notes. But the wish will come true only if the paper, upon contact with the "boat", ignites from the flame of a candle.
Christmas book divination
In the old days, the Psalter was used as a prophetic book - a liturgical book containing the biblical book of psalms. Now, in the absence of a Psalter in the house, you can take a volume of your favorite writer - Pushkin, Lermontov, Shakespeare or any other.
In order to find out the answer to a question of interest, one must mentally formulate it, guess the line number from the bottom or top, and open the book at random. The answer includes not only the hidden line, but the entire semantic passage in which this line is included.
If the answer found in the book does not lend itself to logical interpretation, then the fortune-telling should be repeated.
Divination in the name of the betrothed
This fortune-telling, widespread and popular to this day, is probably known to everyone.
At midnight, leave the house and ask the first man you meet for his name. This name will be the name of the betrothed.
Christmas divination with a mirror
Fortune-telling with a mirror at Christmas time was considered the most faithful, but at the same time the most dangerous, during which a fortune-telling girl or woman often lost her senses.
The fact is that the mirror, according to ancient beliefs, is a border separating the real world and the world of spirits. There are many signs and customs associated with this. So, for example, one of them broken mirror certainly promises an imminent disaster. Misfortune will happen even if you look in the mirror during a thunderstorm. By the way, most of the "thin" signs are connected precisely with the reflection in the mirror. It was strictly forbidden for a woman to look into it at those moments of her life when she could most easily break the invisible boundary between the world of the living and world of the dead: during pregnancy, after the birth of a child and the entire postpartum period, when she was considered "unclean".
At present, the technology for the production of mirrors has changed: instead of a silver coating, lead is used, which has a very short “memory” and, as a result, is less aggressive. However, until now, old people do not recommend bringing a newborn to the mirror for fear that his fragile soul may split in two and the child will turn into an evil sorcerer or a bloodthirsty vampire.
However, a mirror can also serve a powerful amulet. reflected in it devilry immediately loses its magical power and forever loses the ability to harm people.
Fortune telling with a mirror is best in a bathhouse, in an unclean place, and at midnight, when the border marked by a mirror is most permeable. The fortuneteller should be completely alone in the room, loose her hair and remove the belt, if any. On the table you need to put two cutlery, a mirror and a candle. Then the fortuneteller should sit in front of the mirror and say: “Betrothed, mummers, come to dinner with me.”
Exactly at midnight, she will see a man looking over her shoulder. After the fortuneteller examines his face, she must quickly cast a charm spell: “Chur this place!”. After these words, the image of a man will disappear, and the fortuneteller will be out of danger.
A variation of this divination is a ritual with two mirrors that are placed opposite each other so that they repeat their reflections. One of the mirrors must be placed 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 the mirrors are placed correctly, then the reflections form a long gallery in which the image of the betrothed should appear.
"Broken hearts"
This divination is more like a game, so it is great for friendly Christmas and Christmas parties.
To carry it out, it is necessary to cut out figures in the form of hearts from cardboard. And by the number of them should be two times less than the guests invited to the party. Each of the hearts must be “broken”, that is, cut into halves in the most intricate way, clearly identifying the male and female. Then mix the parts thoroughly and hand them to each guest at the entrance with the wish to find their half.
Christmas divination for love
This fortune-telling is for the lonely, but eager to meet true love. At midnight, go to the nearest church and walk around it 12 times. It is believed that this ritual destroys loneliness and promotes the emergence of new love.
Divination by flame
Only gypsies, leading a nomadic lifestyle and forced to spend many hours by the fire, could come up with such a method of divination. It is at the same time very simple and very complex, because one who peers into the flame must have a good imagination and partly a philosophical mindset, as well as rich life experience in order to read the fate destined in the dancing tongues of the fire.
In the flame of the same bonfire, several people can see the future at the same time, because everyone will see in it his own prophecy intended only for him.
It is best to use flame divination for yourself, because in this case it will be extremely accurate and less complicated.
If fortune-telling is performed for someone else, then the person must be seated to the left of oneself and “tune in” to him. To do this, take his right hand with both hands and hold it for a few seconds. After that, look closely into the flame and try to see prophetic signs there, symbolizing the events that await a person in the future.
It happens that no real images that can lift the veil over the mystery of being ever arise. In such a case, the gypsies say that a person in life is expected big changes, only while it is difficult to determine whether good or bad.
Christmas divination with a knife
For this type of divination, gypsies use a round wooden board with a diameter of about 30 centimeters for cutting bread. If there is no board of this size at hand, then you can take a tray or cut a circle out of cardboard. On the edges of the circle write the answers to the most frequently asked questions:
"Yes",
"Not",
"Be patient",
"Caution: next to you is an enemy hiding under the mask of a friend",
"good news"
"Love Message"
"Good luck in the undertaking",
"Unexpected Guest"
"Love",
"Today's tears will turn into joy tomorrow"
"Unexpected news"
« New love»,
« Unexpected meeting»,
"Travel",
"Important Letter"
In the center of the circle put the usual kitchen knife and mentally formulate a question. Rotate the knife around its axis three times. One of the three messages to which the knife point will point and will be the answer to question asked. The other two may be the cause or effect of the predicted event.
If, after rotation, the tip of the knife stops at an equal distance from two messages, the divination must be repeated.
Divination with needles
Put 21 needles that have never been sewn on a saucer or plate, and slowly pour water into the dishes. Under the influence of water, the eagles will change their original position; according to the current picture, one can promise about the situation in which the fortuneteller is located. So, the number of crosses formed by needles indicates the number of ill-wishers or hostile forces acting against a fortuneteller in the current month.
There is also another version of fortune-telling on needles.
Make a pendulum out of a needle. To do this, thread a red silk thread about 75 centimeters long into it, fold it in half and tie a knot at the end.
Take a coin from a fortuneteller (previously they always took a silver one) and put it on the table. Sit down at the table, put your elbow on it, take the pendulum needle with your fingers by the tip of the thread and direct the tip of the needle to the center of the coin.
The fortuneteller asks a question, the answer to which is the words "yes" or "no", and carefully looks at the pendulum. If the needle stands still without movement, there is no answer to the question yet; if it begins to move in the longitudinal direction, the answer is affirmative, if in the transverse direction, it is negative. If the pendulum moves in circles, the question is clear and should be formulated more precisely.
According to the new style, Christmas Eve begins - Christmas time. Christmas time is divided into holy evenings (from January 7 to the 13th) and terrible evenings (from January 14 to the 19th). It was believed that at this time the forces of evil and good come to earth to fight for the souls of people.
Probably why these two weeks are so busy magic rituals and rituals, the purpose of which was protection from evil spirits for the year ahead, bringing prosperity to families: health, marriage of daughters, the birth of a child, good harvests and so on.
Every day Christmas time has always been surrounded by signs and signs. FROM special attention belonged to. It is believed that on the night of Christmas, as well as on Epiphany, you can see a prophetic dream, especially if the moon is growing.
And yet, the favorite pastime at Christmas time at all times was Christmas fortune-telling.
They say that during Christmas time they come down to earth to see their relatives. But behind them, all kinds of evil spirits rush into the open portal between the worlds, which must be driven away and from which it is necessary to protect themselves. The Christmas period is considered the time "without the cross."
According to legend, God, overjoyed that his son was born, having unlocked all the gates, released the devils for a walk. Perhaps that is why Christmas time is considered the best time for fortune-telling, because the evil spirits walking around the Earth at this time can not only harm a person, but also tell him the future. To avoid trouble, one should guess according to all the rules.
Divination rules
The Church warns: Christmas divination- a dangerous job. But how to avoid temptation? After all, when the gates between worlds are open, higher power give the most accurate answers to questions about fate.
Experts advise, before starting to guess, to think: do you need it, and how are you ready to pay for the information received.
Those wishing to tell fortunes should also know that fortune telling is a strictly individual occupation. With collective fortune-telling, energy mixes occur. To see only your own destiny, you should remain alone with yourself, so as not to mix your future with the future of other people.
In addition, you should not guess out of simple curiosity and in the presence of children. It should be remembered that during fortune-telling you call on the most unclean and ask about your fate.
For divination, you need to prepare accordingly: loosen your hair, untie the knots on your clothes, remove all jewelry, belt and pectoral cross. The scythe, belt and cross protect against direct contact with evil spirits, but without this contact, divination is impossible.
If a candle falls during divination, you cannot continue the action.
Unmarried girls at Christmas time should be especially careful: under the guise of a handsome guy, a terrible werewolf may appear to them.
In the old days, when fortunetelling, if the girls were scared, the grandmother sat, who could guide them so that nothing bad would happen. The help of a knowledgeable person in such situations is vital: dark forces can inflict irreparable damage to an inexperienced fortune teller.
It is very important to thoroughly observe the ritual of divination, because it includes and.
In the old days, serious fortune-telling (for the future, for grooms associated with water, rings) was carried out in non-residential premises, sheds or baths. This is one of the important precautions in case, after fortune-telling, evil spirits do not want to leave.
If water is used for divination, then it should be poured out at the end. Get out of the house, move away and pour in a place where people do not go.
A word of caution from an experienced astrologer:
On January 10 and 11 (28 and 29 lunar days), 2013, it is better to exclude fortune telling. These days there is a karmic retribution for everything we have accumulated, and it is better not to touch them, especially monitoring the purity of our thoughts and actions. And the growing moon begins on January 12.
Here we must understand this: there are no bad lunar days! But it is precisely on these days that tests and checks of the karmic level can surface for any of us, i.e. those that do not lie on the surface of our understanding (although retribution on these lunar days can also be in the form of a reward for a worthy life).
Human energy on such days is weakened. Divination can damage the energy field up to the introduction of entities.
The same goes for the 1st lunar day when the body is clean and ready for new plans for the month (in any case, it should be clean after realizing situations on the 28th and 29th lunar day). 1 lunar day will last from 23:45 on January 11th to 8:34 am on January 12th Moscow time.

Christmas divination
There are countless ways to find out your future: by melting wax, with the help of spy songs, stop the first passerby and ask for his name, it will reveal the name of the future spouse, fortune-telling for a dream, and so on.
Divination with. At night, sit in front of a mirror, place and light two candles along its edges. In complete silence, without blinking, peer into the mirror, trying to see the face of the betrothed. At a certain moment, the mirror becomes cloudy, if you don’t blink and get scared, you can see the male face.
Divination on paper. Take paper, you can use an A4 sheet or a notebook insert.
We crush into a fairly dense lump. We put it on a straight surface (iron board, flat plate) and set it on fire, mentally asking the question we want to get an answer to. It is important to correctly and accurately formulate the question that worries you: I will get married, I will give birth to a child, will I have money, and so on.
When the paper burns out, we bring it to the wall and turning the plate, we interpret the received prediction by the shadow falling on the wall.
Divination for sleep.Any dream that occurred at Christmas time is considered prophetic. But many people want to know for sure that fate has opened up to them, so they are guessing for the future. The most popular fortune-telling for a betrothed. If a girl is to be married this year, then the betrothed is. If you didn’t dream, then you’ll have to sit in the girls.
They guess on any night of the Christmas week, but the most correct fortune-telling is on the eve of Christmas and Epiphany. When going to bed on these nights, say: “Lord Jesus Christ, three saints are in the hut: one sees, the other will say, the third will show fate.”
Drink water. Before going to bed, prepare and place a glass and a jug of water by the bed. Think after this: "The betrothed-mummer, you will get tired from the road, I have some water, come, betrothed, I will give you a drink."
Incense divination. For this divination, you need to retire. At midnight on Epiphany or at Christmas, close the curtains tightly, cover the table with a clean tablecloth, put two cutlery, light a candle. Place a piece of incense on each plate.
Sit down at the table in front of one of the appliances. While reading the plot, take incense alternately from both plates and bring it to the candle flame. When you finish reading the plot, throw one piece on the table, and put the second under your pillow. You can go to bed: the dream will turn out to be prophetic, you will see what you were thinking about.
Conspiracy: “The incense in the church gets along, At home they rule. Frankincense, incense, it would be good for you to tell fortunes, to know the whole truth. Like you, incense-father, Pure, holy and honest, So be my dream true. Amen".
Divination Salty. Before going to bed, indulge yourself with salty soul: herring or something else, do not drink it, and think: “Betrothed, mummers, come get me drunk.” Your betrothed will dream in a dream, and water, of course, too.
Fortune telling on the betrothed with a comb. Comb before going to bed and leave your hair on the comb, putting it under the pillow, say: "Narrowed-mummer, come scratch your braid."
"Well". Make a well of eight or four matches on the bed, put a thimble filled with water in it, put yours on top so that the well is under it. Think: "Narrowed-mummer, come to water the horse."
Stocking. Put on a stocking on your leg and say a conspiracy: "Narrowed-mummer, come take off your stocking."
One young lady put on a stocking like that, and guessed it. Her night so that she fell out of bed and with fright - to roar! Her father also gave her a beating so that she would not hang out with the unclean, did not sin.
"Views of the Bride". Place the mirror under your pillow and say: “Betrothed-mummer, come see me and show yourself.”
Divination with a cockroach. We need to catch a cockroach and put it in Matchbox, make a guess: “Cockroach, cockroach! You go everywhere, you know everything, bring me to my betrothed in the family. It is possible that in a dream you will see a room or a house - this is the home of your betrothed. You can see in a dream and members of his family.
The young girl dreamed that the cockroach went along the highway, that she could barely keep up with him. He brought her to the neighboring village to the house of a widower, and not to a sweetheart guy. She did not attach any importance to the dream, and in the autumn the same widower wooed her. That's it, you can't run away from fate!
And the other dreamed that the cockroach said: “How can I bring you to the betrothed if you pinched my paw with a box?”. In the morning he looks, and in the box there is a dead cockroach with a pinched paw.
Bread. From the holiday feasts leave a crust of bread that you haven’t eaten, put it under your pillow at night, uttering a conspiracy: “Betrothed, mummers, come to supper.”
These are fortune tellings that have come down to us from time immemorial. It is difficult to perceive many without a smile :).
Are the predictions received during Christmas divination correct? According to knowledgeable people, basically these predictions come true.

Roll each strip into a roller or simply fold it several times, then place it in a bag and mix. Put it all under your pillow, and when you wake up, take one piece of paper out of the bag. The name that will be indicated on it will be the name of your husband.

Next, the lady needs to look in which direction the nose of the fallen shoe will look, it is from that side that her groom will be.
In conclusion, some of the most interesting, in my opinion, Christmas rituals for unmarried ladies.
Divination on the gender of your child
To help find out the gender of the baby will help the woman engagement or any other belonging to the representative fair half, ring. In Christmas time, it should be removed and hung on its own hair, then put into any container, for example, a glass or cup, of water and hold the ring over this container. If the jewelry will make pendulum movements, then you should wait for the boy, if you observe the movement of the ring in a circle - wait for the girl.
By folk beliefs if the ring stops above the water, it indicates childlessness.
Divination with an egg
You should take a fresh chicken egg, use a knife to punch a small hole in it, pour it into a glass or cup (bowl) with water. Next, you need to watch the protein. If domes or a church have formed in the water from protein, a wedding is coming. If you see a ring - wait for marriage, a ship or other transport - roads, long business trips, a square (cube) - for burial.
If the egg white drowned in a glass of water, expect a fire.
Divination with needles for marriage
A woman, in order to find out whether she will marry or not in the near future, needs to take 2 needles on Christmas, rub them with fresh fat and dip them into a glass of water. If the needles converge in the water - this is for marriage, if they disperse separately - marriage in the near future or not to be seen at all.
On a note! When the needles rubbed with fat have sunk, expect serious trouble, white or illness.
And finally, I would like to say, dear girls, women who want to know their fate, their future, see their betrothed, guessing Christmas time, believe in the good, in the positive, and it will certainly be so. Having received a negative result, do not panic, do not get upset in advance, do not tune in to the bad, remember, this is just a fortune-telling and a bad prediction, only a warning for you, parting words to be careful in certain situations.
I wish that in the New Year all your wishes come true, dreams come true, and about fortune-telling, remember, all this is interesting and fun, but each of us, and not divination, is the blacksmith of our own happiness.
