An important Christian holiday - Epiphany - is invariably associated with water. After all, the most important Epiphany ritual in the world it is a pilgrimage procession to the Jordan River. Believers from all over the world participate in this solemn procession.

For those who are unable to make a pilgrimage to the Holy River,
You can join the sacrament of Baptism in your homeland. Currently, the blessing of water is performed in churches and temples of all parishes throughout the Christian world.

All Epiphany rituals are somehow connected with water, but if you do not dare to plunge into cold Epiphany water and you do not have the opportunity to participate in the procession, you can perform some rituals without leaving your home.

Epiphany rituals help in many ways - to recover from many diseases, to cleanse the home of accumulated negative energy and even... become more beautiful and younger!

Epiphany ritual for physical health

To perform the ritual, take a fairly warm bath, add water blessed in the church and immerse your pectoral cross with which you were baptized. After this, lie down so that the water covers your entire body, and lie in a relaxed state for about fifteen minutes. At the same time, imagine yourself in ideal physical shape and thank God for excellent health. After taking a bath, do not use a towel. It will be better if the water dries on the body itself.

Epiphany rituals for wish fulfillment

On the eve of the great holiday, in the evening, place a silver coin in a container with holy water and place it on the window so that the light from the Moon illuminates it. Having made a secret wish, you should say it over the cup three times. In the morning, on the street, pour out the water and hide the coin in a secret place that no one knows about. The strongest effect is obtained when Epiphany coincides with the full moon.

The ritual of making a wish is also carried out in a different way.

Fill a bowl with Epiphany water and place it on the windowsill. Wait until a slight ripple appears in the cup, and then go outside with it. Holding the cup in your hand and peering into the sky, say your cherished wish out loud 3 times. But if the water in the vessel is motionless, there is no point in making a wish - nothing will come true! Most importantly, don’t think bad things for anyone, otherwise trouble will inevitably happen! Ask sincerely and honestly. In the morning, place holy water behind the icon, it can remain there until next Epiphany.

Epiphany ritual for beauty and marriage

Epiphany snow has long been considered an indispensable means of increasing female attractiveness. Washing her face with it, the unmarried young lady knew that now she would become even more beautiful and would soon walk down the aisle!

After sunset, on the eve of Epiphany, you need to collect Epiphany snow. To do this, you need to stand in the direction of the north, and very quickly, with both palms without gloves, collect the snow in a small bucket to the top. At the end, throwing the last handful of snow, say out loud: “The heavens are open to the Holy Land, and for me (name) there is a streak of luck. Amen".

Left alone at home, place the container with snow on the table, and place candles bought in the church on three sides around it. Light them up. Take each of them in turn and cross the melting snow with fire: hand palm up, candle held between two fingers - index and middle.

The procedure is as follows: cross the water, cross yourself, and repeat all the time when you read the following curse: “ Just as a white snowball covered the ground on Epiphany evening, so my (name) head will be covered with a wedding veil. My betrothed, disguised, destined by God and fate, will take her as a wife, and lead her under white hands to the holy altar. I baptize snow for righteousness, and myself for marriage. My word will be strong. My deed will be true and will come true on time. Amen"(three times).

Then sprinkle melt water on your neck, shoulders, and face. Don't wipe! Wait until it dries completely, and pour the remaining water near the threshold of your bedroom and spray it near the bed. At the same time, mentally say: “So be it!”

Candles need to be extinguished clockwise. Take the first candle to the church before lunch and bring it to the icon Holy Mother of God. Take the rest to the temple to the same icon on the second and third days.

During these three days, be sure to observe the following conditions:

• avoid female guests
• don't lend anything to anyone
• do not pick up a needle and do not sew

And twelve hours after you finish the ritual, take a cool shower.

Epiphany ritual to cleanse the house

Just like on Christmas, the day before Epiphany, the evening before on January 18, Epiphany Eve begins. On this magical evening, everyone has a unique chance to get rid of family conflicts and quarrels, to cleanse the house of accumulated negative energy.

It is for this purpose that our ancestors created rituals to cleanse the house and home. Since ancient times, it was believed that on the night of Epiphany, at exactly midnight, all the water in the house acquires amazing healing and miraculous powers - it becomes holy - and has the power to remove illness and grief.

Take several handfuls of snow into a glass container and bring it into the house, and when it melts, spray all the corners in all rooms, as well as window and doorways. Spray in each place 3 times in a cross pattern. When performing this ritual, move around the apartment clockwise. Then on all windows and doorways Draw small crosses at the top with chalk. This is especially important to do in rooms where there is a lot of fortune telling on Christmastide.

If you make a sufficient supply of Epiphany water, it can be used to treat various diseases throughout the year. Also, “magic water” will warn you that someone, God forbid, has jinxed or cast a spell on a member of your family - in this case, sediment should appear in the water.

The month of January is very rich in holidays, the energy of which is one of the most powerful. The marathon of all festivities ends with Epiphany. Absolutely all holidays have a rich and ancient history. We have already managed to tell you about wish rituals for all holidays except Epiphany. Rituals for the fulfillment of desires for the Epiphany of the Lord are no less powerful than other rituals during the holy week. We have prepared several powerful and effective ones.

• On the night of the 18th to the 19th, place water in any container. Notice when the water starts to tremble, go outside or onto the balcony, look at the sky and make a wish. We advise you to ask for the most secret things for yourself during this ritual.
• We will not be the first to say that water on this day has miraculous properties. It helps to escape from misfortunes, relieve negative programs and heal from diseases. Stock up on it for future use. To do this, you need to collect clean snow in a container. Place it in a warm place in the house. While the snow is melting, we must say this: “The Lord was baptized in Jordan, the Holy Spirit descended from heaven. In the Jordan River there is holy water, the Christian savior. Water from the holy day helps me, the servant of God (name), relieves illnesses, relieves ailments, washes the blood, straightens the joints, dispels spurs, washes the liver. Holy water from a clean day removes damage and scabs, misfortunes and ailments. Forty pains are washed away, superficial damage is washed away. From the blood, from the spine, from every vertebra, from the brain, from the eyebrows, from the nails, from all the bones. Holy water will deliver me, the servant of God (name), from misfortunes every day. Amen. Amen. Amen".

One more strong ritual for the fulfillment of a wish is considered such.

• Take some holy water. As soon as the evening of Epiphany Eve arrives, water must be poured into a cup. And then you should throw a silver coin (or just a coin of that color) at it. The cup must be placed in a place where moonlight will fall on it. You must whisper your wish over the bowl three times. In the morning you need to pour this water outside. Hide the coin in secluded corner, the existence of which only you should know. And if there is a full moon on Epiphany, the ritual will intensify even more.

There is another version of this ritual.

• On Epiphany night we pour holy water into the cup. Now you need to wait until the water starts moving (trembling). Go outside and say your wish three times. It is very important: you should ask sincerely, under no circumstances wishing anything bad to anyone. Otherwise, trouble will definitely come to you. In the morning this water must be placed under the icon. Leave it there until the next Epiphany. Note: if the water does not ripple, you can quit the ritual; your wish will not come true.

Epiphany or Epiphany is celebrated on January 19. This holiday is one of the most important Orthodox people. Catholics celebrate Epiphany on January 6, and Orthodox Christians on January 19 according to the new calendar style.

Baptism is associated with the baptism of Christ on the Jordan River. The holiday begins on the evening of January 18, but it is customary to celebrate it only on the 19th. Epiphany closes the Christmastide. It is on this day that Jesus Christ begins to serve people, read sermons and instruct believers on the true path. Epiphany and Christmas are connected by Christmastide, which lasts for 12 days. It is these two events that are united and solemn. It was on these days that the Lord was born and underwent the rite of baptism, so many consider these days to be the Epiphany. These days the Holy Trinity appears in its unity.

In order to perform the ritual, you need to purchase a candle and a candlestick, paper, a pen and a saucer with a small amount vegetable oil. On Epiphany night you should remain completely alone and write down your desire in every detail on a piece of paper, mentally imagining that it has already come true. After this, a saucer with oil is placed on the right side, and a candlestick and a sheet with a wish are placed on the left.

Dip your right hand into the oil and take a candle. You need to try to imagine your wish as much as possible, as if it has already come true, while at the same time lubricating the candle with oil. After this, you need to put the candle in the candlestick and light it. The sheet of paper must be completely burned. After this, the candle should be placed in a clean piece of cloth and hidden in a safe place until the wish is fulfilled.

Candle from church

For Epiphany, you must go to church and buy a candle. After this, at home you should stay alone in the room and, looking at the candle, make a wish. After this, you need to hide the candle in a corner where no one will take it. During the year, the candle will protect its owner, protect him from the evil eye and negative influences.

Holy water

Epiphany holy water is the purest and most correct. The liquid has magical and miraculous properties for a long time, lasts as long as possible and transfers magical properties to ordinary water. You just need to add a little water, blessed in the church for Epiphany, to ordinary water so that it also becomes holy.

God created water as a vital element; without it, existence is impossible. However, human sins have turned water into a source of death. When sins began to grow on earth, water turned into a deadly rather than life-giving liquid. During the Great Flood, a huge amount of all living things perished so that the world could be completely renewed and get rid of the dirt that it itself had created.

Before Christ appeared on earth, John the Baptist performed the baptismal ceremony in the waters of the Jordan. During His coming, Christ took upon himself all human sins and paid for them in full. It was he who made water the element of life again and destroyed its bad and negative properties.

From the morning of January 19, preferably before sunrise, you should bring holy water from the church or natural sources. After this, you need to look at your own reflection in the water and say your cherished wish. Then you should wash your face with water three times.

Wish list

You can also make a wish for Epiphany using the list. You should take a handful of any small items and then scatter them on the table. After this, you need to make a wish and count the number of items. If there are an even number of them, then the wish will soon come true.

You can take a piece of paper and write 12 wishes on it. On Epiphany night you should put a sheet under your pillow. After waking up in the morning, you need to choose three wishes from the sheet with your eyes closed. These wishes will soon come true.

Dream to sleep

Before going to bed on Epiphany night, you need to say the following words:

“Holy Samson, show me a dream (desire).”

Many are sure that Epiphany dreams are prophetic, so if you dream about what a person has wished for, then the dream will definitely come true.

Magic water

On Epiphany night you need to pour a little water into any container. When the liquid begins to sway, you need to go outside and look at the heavens. At this moment, you can ask the Lord to fulfill your desire.

You can pour water into a container and write small notes with your cherished desires. Then they need to be folded so that the text is not visible. You need to attach notes to the edge of the dishes. You should place a candle that does not sink in the water and light it. Then you should see where the candle floats. It is this desire that will be fulfilled in the very near future.

Ice-hole miracles

Those people who are going to swim at Epiphany can take advantage of in an interesting way to fulfill a wish. You need to make a wish while immersing yourself in water, and on January 20 at 3 a.m. go outside and ask the Lord once again to make your dream come true. It will definitely come true soon.

Desires and dreams for Epiphany

It is the Baptism of the Lord that is the best time to make a wish and ask something from the Lord. On the night of Epiphany, the Almighty listens to human requests and helps in all endeavors. However, when making wishes, you need to take into account some rules.

You must first be sure to sincerely ask for forgiveness from everyone to whom a person has once caused trouble or grief. If it is impossible to meet them in person, then you need to turn to them mentally, the main thing is that forgiveness comes from the heart.
You should definitely thank the Lord for everything that a person has at the present time, for allowing him to appear in this world. Only after this can you begin to carry out baptismal rites to fulfill your desire.

Basic rules of wishes

At Epiphany, almost all desires and dreams come true if a person sincerely asks for something from the Lord and decides to turn to him. However, it is worth following some rules in order for your dream to come true in real life.

• You should only make a wish on your own behalf.
• A dream must come from the heart and be sincere.
• All desires should not pursue the goal of harming others or taking revenge on them.
• You need to clearly represent your desire.
• The dream should only be voiced in real time.
• You need to ask something from the Lord only in a positive mood.
• You should get rid of all negative thoughts in advance.
• You should clearly imagine the sensations that a person will have while realizing his dream.
• After fulfilling your wish, you should be sure to sincerely and from the bottom of your heart thank the Lord for your help.

When making a wish, you must believe that it will come true. Only faith in the Lord will help ensure that God hears a person’s prayers and requests. You can simply go out onto the balcony and sincerely ask the Almighty for help, turning to heaven. You just need to dream about good and bright things, not wish harm to others, about things that will not bring problems and troubles to others.

Epiphany fortune telling

Fortune telling for Epiphany is not supported Orthodox Church. They have always been considered a connection with evil spirits. They have never been of interest to the adult population.

Young people told fortunes to have fun and forget about pressing matters. Basically, they sought to look into the future: to find out the name of their partner, when they would get married, and more.



Will there be a wedding?

For those who want to find out the name of their chosen one, it is enough to go outside. You can ask the name of the first person you meet. Meeting a young person is considered good luck, while an older person promises trouble.

Those who don’t want to go outside in the Epiphany cold can guess at home. Write several names on identical pieces of paper, wrap them and place them in a container. Mix thoroughly and select one piece of paper. What name is written - with that name there will be a chosen one. By analogy, you can find out age, zodiac sign and month of birth.

Young girls are always interested in the topic of marriage. In ancient times and now, in anticipation of love and care, they gathered in company in the house and told fortunes. To find out who will get married first:

1. 1. Each girl had her own cut from a spool of thread. All are the same length. Folded neatly on a platter, they were set on fire at one end. Whose thread burns out first will be the first to get married. If the thread immediately goes out or less than half is burned, she will not marry.
2. 2. On a piece of black velvet they rolled smooth gold ring with the words: “I’ll swing the ring around the city! It will lead me to my sweetheart.” Each made a chalk mark where it stopped. Those who have gone further - prepare for the wedding. If the ring rolls outside the material, the girl will not get married.
3. 3. Bread and a satin ribbon were placed in a box or deep plate, the girl was blindfolded, and she pulled out the first object she came across. Bread - for matchmakers, ribbon - to remain a girl this year.

Married ladies performed such fortune-telling in order to find out who would become a mother first, who would be born: a boy or a girl, and other questions.

The betrothed-mummer

Every girl wonders what hers will be like future husband. With the help of words and objects, you can make a dream with your future chosen one. There are 3 popular methods:

1. 1. Place a clean comb under the pillow and say: “My betrothed, mummer, come to me in a dream, comb me.”
2. 2. Eat salty food before going to bed and place a glass of water near the bed, saying: “My betrothed, mummer, come to me in a dream, give me something to drink.”
3. 3. Place a kind of pillow of 4 cards - kings from the playing deck. At the same time say: “My betrothed, mummer, dream about me.”

Phrases are said several times to tune in to the appearance of a man’s appearance in a dream. In the method with cards, you should dream of a suit that will determine the appearance, social status or character traits of the future husband.

When you don’t see any of the cards, you can pull out any of them and interpret your fate yourself.

Near future

Pour a small amount of water into six identical glasses, glasses or cups. Add the following ingredients to each:

• salt;
• sugar;
• coin;
• ring;
• bread;
• match.

Anyone who wants to know what the next year will be like is blindfolded. The glasses are mixed together and allowed to choose. At the same time, salt promises tears and disappointments, sugar - good luck, a coin - financial well-being, bread - a well-fed year, a ring - a wedding, a match - the birth of a child. The correct one will be the one that came up the first time. Repeated fortune telling does not come true or is interpreted as the general background of the year.

Milk and wax

With the help of these products, they learned from the brownie what to prepare for this year. Melt the wax, pour the milk into a saucer and place it at the doorstep. With the words: “Brownie, my master, come to me to drink milk, eat wax,” pour the melted wax into the milk.

According to the shape of the frozen wax:

• cross - illness;
• flower - happiness, wedding;
• stars - good luck in work and study;
• beast - moving or flying.

Coffee grounds

Fortune telling on coffee grounds is considered the simplest and most accurate on the eve of Epiphany. To do this, you need to drink a cup of natural brewed coffee; instant coffee leaves no traces behind. After this, cover the cup with a saucer and carefully turn it over three more times. Remove the saucer and examine the symbols inside the cup.

Meaning of symbols

Card fortune telling

Cards are often used when telling fortunes about a loved one, about their future fate. There are not always special cards at hand, so it is enough to shuffle the deck of playing cards and draw them towards you with your left hand. The simplest fortune telling is based on desire. The deck of cards is shuffled, then roughly divided into 4 different piles by eye. In the first and each subsequent one you need to find aces. The more of them in the first pile, the higher the probability of the wish coming true. Using other layouts and ways to find out the future is possible only for those who know how to read the meanings of cards.

Gypsy cards are simple for fortune telling due to the fact that any meaning can be understood or read from the picture. On the eve of Epiphany, they are laid out in 4 rows of 9 cards. They find the card “Unexpected Joy” among them. This card marks a fortuneteller. To the left of it is his past, to the right is the future, the row on top speaks of providences, the bottom row speaks of obstacles.

Fortune telling with Tarot cards should be done on the night of January 18th to 19th or from January 19th to 20th. This time of day is recognized as the best for deals. For a beginner, there are two ways:

1. 1. Answer a question based on one card: ask a question, pull out a card and read its meaning.
2. 2. 9-3 card method: 9 cards are laid out in 3 rows. The top one means the past, the middle one means the present, the bottom one means the future.

When doing Tarot fortune telling, you need to be able to understand the meanings of the cards and connect them with each other.

Wish fulfillment

In addition to fortune telling, making wishes is popular. On the evening of January 18, before going to bed, write 12 wishes on paper. Put them under the pillow. The next morning, pull out any three. What is written must be fulfilled.

On the evening before Epiphany, bring a mirror from the street. Write a wish on it with your finger. Then put it under the bed and cover it with fir branches. If the recording disappears the next morning, the wish will come true.

Scatter a handful of small items on the table: seeds, cereal. Make a wish. Count the amount scattered: even - it will come true, odd - not destiny.

There are many ways to guess and find out your future. On the day of Epiphany, they had to wash themselves, washing away sinfulness of thoughts and connections with evil spirits during fortune-telling, with holy water. Most of the fortune telling is aimed at fun time at home and you shouldn’t take the results seriously. You only need to believe in good things, then they will come true.

Troparion, tone 1

In the Jordan, baptized to You, Lord, Trinitarian adoration appeared: for the voice of your parents testified to You, naming Your beloved Son, and the Spirit, in the form of a dove, announced your words of affirmation. Appear, O Christ our God, and the world is enlightened, glory to Thee.

Kontakion, tone 4

Thou hast appeared this day to the whole universe, and Thy light, O Lord, has appeared upon us, in the minds of those who sing Thee; You came and you appeared, the unapproachable Light.

Greatness

We magnify You, Life-Giving Christ, for our sake now baptized in the flesh by John in the waters of the Jordan.

Troparion for the Blessing of Waters, tone 8

The voice of the Lord cries out on the waters, saying: Come, all of you, receive the Spirit of wisdom, the Spirit of understanding. The Spirit of the fear of God, who appeared as Christ.

Today the waters are sanctified by nature, and the Jordan is divided, and its streams return, the Lord is baptized in vain.

As a man came to the river, O Christ the King, and sought to receive servile baptism, O Blessed One, from the hand of the Forerunner, a sin for our sake, Lover of mankind!

Glory, even now: To the voice of him crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, you have come, O Lord, taking on the form of a servant, asking for baptism, not knowing sin. Seeing Thee the waters and being afraid, the Forerunner was trembling and cried out saying: How will the lamp of Light illuminate, how will the slave lay his hand on the Master? Sanctify the waters for me, O Savior, take away the sin of the world.

Speak about your intention for the water in your own words or by reading a special prayer or the Lord’s Prayer. In a health spell, ask for everything related to health. Thoughts must be pure and full of faith.

The charmed water can be added in small portions, almost drops, to the bathtub. It is believed that it restores the energy shell, washes away bad energy from another person, and is capable of healing.

Charmed water removes damage and the evil eye. Therefore, it is added to the baby’s bathtub.

It is best to take water blessed at the temple. But that gained during the Baptism of Jesus Christ has no less power.

A ritual of cleansing the home from negative energy in case of many problems and bad events.

Take holy water and walk around all the corners of the rooms, sprinkle them (sprinkle with a small amount of liquid). It is believed to be hiding in the corners evil spirits. You can cross these corners at the same time. Speak the words that you consider necessary according to your circumstances and from the bottom of your heart.

This will bring prosperity, luck, health to the residents of the house and cleanse them of accumulated negativity.

Start from front door and end with the front door.

Epiphany water from the temple (it is good to collect from 7 temples) removes damage and the evil eye.

Say these words while dousing yourself with holy water:

"The Lord was born,

Baptized at Epiphany,

Became famous for the name

Jesus Christ.

Like this water

Dripping off me

So that

And all the damage

She left me.

Now and forever

And forever and ever. Amen".

A spell on an Epiphany candle, or a talisman against the evil eye and disease.

Light a few candles in the church. At home, melt one candle until soft. Make a cake from a piece of the Epiphany candle and stick it on the bed at the head of the bed. This will be a talisman for health and recovery.

Evil eye spell for children

With the help of the Epiphany candle, they protect the baby from damage and the evil eye in the same way, by sticking a piece of the candle at the head of the crib. You can also talk baby's lungs life.

Conspiracy words:

“Ivan the Baptist baptized Christ, and Christ blessed the whole world.

This child will grow up not knowing any serious illnesses.

His troubles will pass and they will not hold any grudges against him.

People will love him, angels will protect him.”

Plot for an easy life for a baby

Attach part of the candle to the diaper and say:

“Lord, the child is in his first year of life, give him many easy paths in life. Give the savior angel, the guardian angel the best, with your holy hand, bless the Servant of God (name) for a good hour, for a good time. Key, lock, tongue. Amen. Amen. Amen."

The charmed diaper hides from everyone so that it does not catch anyone’s eye.

Good luck spell for family

On the night of Epiphany, bring all shoes into the apartment. Place a bowl of water near the door next to your shoes. In the morning, in this water, wash all shoes that carry negativity from outside.

Pour out the water and say: “The evil spirit is underground, and the good spirit is on the earth.” In your house, water spills out where no one goes. There is a sewer in the apartment.

Ritual and conspiracy for wealth and money

There is also a conspiracy for good luck and financial prosperity, which is read on January 19 when leaving the church with blessed water:

“I’m going home with holy water,

And you, money and luck, are behind me.

All the troubles and losses

Go to the other side.

Key, lock, tongue.

Amen. Amen. Amen."

Conspiracy for wealth and financial well-being.

Take blessed water from the church and walk through all the rooms, chanting the water with the words:

“Holy water came to the house and brought me prosperity.

There will be losses in this house,

there will be abundance coming every day.

Luck will accompany me in everything,

I will never fail in anything, I know.”

Then place this water overnight in the most important place in the apartment, and wash your face with it in the morning.

Conspiracy while the snow melts:

“Fire will melt pure snow and turn it into Jordanian water.

Ivan the Baptist will sanctify the water and bless it with God’s grace.”

When the endless series of New Year's and Christmas days are left behind, it's the best time to dream. It is believed that on the night of January 19th there is a great Orthodox holiday At the Baptism of the Lord, the heavens open and await sincere human prayers and requests. Therefore, any, even the most fantastic request will definitely be heard. The main thing is to know how to make a wish so that it comes true.

First step: preparation

It is necessary to approach any task with a light heart, and this means that it is advisable to let go of all the accumulated negativity from life. If you have been offended, hurt, insulted, imagine that everything bad is a heavy stone. Throw him far away - so far that he cannot return.

At the same time, it is important not only to forgive, but also to ask for forgiveness from all people who, voluntarily or unwittingly, were hurt, who were treated unworthy and ugly. Moreover, this must be done even in cases where it is not possible to meet, just in thoughts.

Also, before making a wish, thank from the bottom of your heart higher powers for all the good things that have already happened in your life by this date, January 19. Only after this can you proceed to active action.

Basic principles of making wishes: what you need to know.

1. Correct wording. The gift sent from heaven will depend on how you describe your desires for Baptism. Therefore, try to speak in the present tense and do not limit yourself exact deadlines– higher powers also need time to fulfill all your thoughts.
2. Feelings, not reason. On such a bright night as January 19, you are having a conversation, first of all, with God, therefore, everything you say and think about should be as sincere and bright as possible. Focus on feelings, not arguments of reason - think about what you really want, the necessary things that come from the depths of your heart.
3. In no case should desire include negativity, only emotions with a “plus” sign, only for the good. Also, it should not cause harm to anyone: the Lord’s attitude towards those who cause harm to others is obvious. In case of any doubts and uncertainty, ask higher powers to carry out everything in the most favorable way for everyone - this will be right.
4. If possible, do not include third parties in your requests.. No matter how well you know a person, someone else’s soul, as they say, is in the dark, so by acting carelessly, you can unintentionally, but still harm the person with your actions. As a last resort, ask that this does not contradict the spiritual intentions of the other person.

Epiphany requests: main methods of implementation

The most common method of making wishes on the night before Epiphany on January 19 is to write 12 “wants” on small pieces of paper, with which you need to “sleep” under the pillow. The next morning, three of them drawn out will definitely be fulfilled.

Since the main symbol of the last Christmas Eve is water, it must also participate. It is necessary to place it in a vessel on this festive evening - and as soon as the liquid begins to “shudder” and move, go outside, look at the sky and make a wish for the most secret thing, saying the essence three times. Epiphany water you don’t need to pour it out anywhere, you can put it under a holy image and store it that way.

Another, similar way is to pour holy water into a cup and, throwing a silver coin into it, place it so as to better catch the light of the moon, especially on a full moon. Then whisper your desire three times, leave the house and pour out the water, and hide the coin in a secluded place known only to you.

If you plan to plunge into an ice hole the night before Epiphany, be sure to say a petition at the moment of immersion. You can confirm your request the day after January 19 by going outside or onto the balcony for a sincere conversation with God.

You can also take some bright stone with you into the ice hole - aquamarine or mother-of-pearl. Imagine that your desire is a sunny and warm flash of light. Throw a stone into the water with your request in mind.

Wishes and candles: is there a connection?

The Epiphany of the Lord is a church holiday, so you can’t do without candles on this night. You need to sit down as comfortably as possible and write down clean slate papers about everything you want, trying to ensure that your thoughts are formulated as clearly as possible, in fact, concisely and without unnecessary words.

Place a candlestick on a piece of paper lying on the table, and on the right place a saucer with a small amount of vegetable oil in which to wet your fingers right hand. On the left you need to take a candle. Then everything depends on you, individual zeal and imagination. All you need to do is rub the oil into the candle, visualizing how the desire seems to penetrate inside it. You need to make movements slowly, smoothly, slowly, without stopping or interrupting for several minutes.

Then put the attribute back into the candlestick and wipe your hands. After this, light it with a match, while concentrating as much as possible on the desire and looking at the fire, slightly above the flame. If the fire begins to tremble slightly and blur before your eyes, as if in light smoke, try to imagine the fulfillment of your dream as clearly as possible by repeating the phrases written down on paper.

After this, you can take out your notes and burn them with a candle flame, completely turning them into ashes. Then wrap the candle in a clean cloth, leaving it until the next time, or the next January 19th. In this way, you are allowed to tell fortunes several times, increasing the likelihood of fulfilling your most difficult dream.
