Christmas time begins with Christmas, on Christmas Eve (January 6) and lasts until Epiphany. Traditionally in Russia, divination was performed at Baptism to find out about the betrothed or to protect the family from adversity. They did it in different ways.

Epiphany traditions and customs

The celebration of the Baptism of the Lord begins on January 18, on the day of Eve. At this time, it is customary to baptize people and bless the water. The water consecrated at Baptism is the strongest protection against the evil eye, spoilage, and diseases.

On the evening of January 18, the whole family gathered at the table. The owner of the house had to eat the first spoonful of porridge. Epiphany frosts were the strongest, so people tried to appease the winter. The owner, having tasted a spoonful of porridge, invited the frost into the house to warm up and eat, for this he went to the window and said:

“You, frost, do not be angry, do not frighten us with cold. Come to the fire, sit, have a cup of tea.

On the evening of January 19, the family again gathered at a richly set table. But they started eating only with the appearance of the first star in the sky. To ensure a good future for themselves, people annually bathe in the hole on this day. It is believed that water on this day washes away all sins and diseases, but this custom is performed only by trained people.

Epiphany signs and divination:

  • snowy, clear weather promises a rich harvest;
  • dogs bark strongly at night - there will be a lot of game this year;
  • a clear blue sky during the day speaks of a good harvest, but a cloudy sky promises a crop failure;
  • to meet a young unmarried girl in the morning at the baptism of a guy - she will get married soon, an old grandfather - to wait another year for matchmaking, a grandmother - to walk in decks for 5 years;
  • there are many stars in the sky - all your wishes will come true.

Simple fortune-telling for marriage

The customs and rituals for Baptism are associated with the search for answers about personal life. It was customary for young boys and girls to go out on the morning of January 19 and ask the name of the first person they met of the opposite sex. The second half will have the same name.

In the evening it was customary to tell fortunes by the ringing of bells. Young girls went closer to the temple and listened:

  • wedding ringing or bells were heard - this year you will play a wedding;
  • funeral ringing - mortal danger, death;
  • silence - do not marry the girl this year;
  • intermittent ringing - the betrothed will make an offer, but the wedding will be postponed due to unforeseen circumstances.

In the morning, unmarried girls threw their boots over the fence to find out which side to wait for the betrothed. You need to stand with your back to the fence, remove your left shoe and throw it over your right shoulder. In which direction the toe of the shoe looks, from that narrowed one should wait. If the sock points to the girl's house, she will not get married soon.

Divination with mirrors

For this divination for Baptism, you will need 2 mirrors and wax candles. Set the mirrors opposite each other, light a candle. Set all the attributes so that the mirror corridor is clearly visible.

All this is done at midnight, in complete darkness, without strangers. Such rites are dangerous to conduct at home, because a dark entity living in the looking glass can get out. Having prepared all the attributes, say the following words:

“I’m waiting for my betrothed, I beckon to my house, come my good one, I pray.”

Look closely into the mirror corridor. Soon the figure of the betrothed will begin to approach you, but you cannot let it go beyond the frame of the mirror. As soon as the figure begins to move along the corridor, quickly fold the mirrors to each other with the front part. Read the Lord's Prayer and go to bed. A mirror used in divination can no longer be used for its intended purpose.

Fortune telling with a comb

There is a simpler divination for Baptism for a betrothed for the night, which involves the use of a new comb, or rather a comb. In the evening, concentrate on the desire to see the betrothed. Combing your hair with a comb, say the words of the spell:

“I’m waiting for my betrothed at home, I call on his face. Enough to walk around, the heart of a girl's heart to stir. Turn around, show yourself, appear to me in a dream.

Run the comb through your hair exactly 100 times. All this time, pronounce the spell. Then put the comb under your pillow and go to bed. Remember dreams tonight - they are prophetic.

Another fortune-telling before Epiphany is held at a friend's house. Ask to spend the night with a friend who has never stayed. In the evening, when you go to bed, say:

"In a new place, dream of the groom to the bride."

This night, the face of the betrothed will surely appear. A dream in a new place will be prophetic. Pay attention to every detail:

  • spiders - the betrothed will be with money;
  • chickens - there are always a lot of girls around him, maybe he works in a women's team;
  • lion - a strong and strong-willed man you will meet;
  • to remove large fleas from yourself and your prospective betrothed in a dream - build a joint business that brings good money.

Divination in the name of the future husband

To find out the name of the future husband, notes with the names of the guys are placed under the pillow. Write as many as you can think of.

Put them all under your pillow. When you go to bed, try not to think about anything. Waking up in the morning, take out a note from under the pillow with the name of the betrothed. In a similar way, the gender of children is predicted by placing notes “girl” and “boy” under the pillow.

Prediction for the year

Fortune-telling for a year at Baptism is carried out in the afternoon. You will need:

  • match;
  • a coin of any denomination;
  • ring;
  • bread crumb;
  • salt;
  • sugar;
  • 6 glasses;
  • dark tape.

Arrange the glasses in front of you. Put one of the prepared attributes in each, tie your eyes with a dark ribbon. Start saying the text of the spell:

“A match promises children, sugar will bring happiness, salt will take away bad weather, a crumb of bread - a well-fed, comfortable life, a coin - untold riches, a ring - to be under my crown.”

Stir the glasses. Choose in a blind glass with a prediction. You can only choose a glass once. Other methods of divination involve the use of wax and milk. Melted wax is poured into milk and, placed at the threshold, they say:

“Brownie, brownie, come out, talk to me, taste milk with wax. Talk to me, designate the future.

Interpretation of the forms of solidified wax:

  • cross - the year will be unsuccessful, fate has prepared many illnesses for you;
  • animal - you will soon have to leave your home, changing your place of residence;
  • star - unprecedented luck in all areas of activity;
  • ring - it's time to get ready for the wedding;
  • flower - expect a message, you will meet love soon;
  • candle - an outsider will help solve difficulties;
  • boat - you will have to flee, the situation will become too confusing and threatening;
  • bridge - rather grab luck by the tail, you have a week to take action;
  • palace - trouble awaits;
  • chair - your financial situation will improve, your plan will bring good money.

Divination for desire

Divination under Baptism for desire:

  • on the eve of Epiphany, write 12 wishes on an album sheet;
  • cut the sheet into separate pieces and fold under the pillow;
  • pull out 3 shreds in the morning.

Your wishes will come true soon.

Divination with a mirror. Put it outside on the morning of January 18th. In the evening, bring in and write your desire with your finger, put a mirror under the bed and cover it with pine branches. In the morning, carefully look at the mirror surface and, if the inscription has disappeared, you can be sure that your desire will come true.

The next fortune-telling is carried out in the morning, just getting out of bed. Sit at the table, think about desire, concentrate and scatter seeds, nuts or cereals on the table. Next, count the number of grains: even numbers indicate that the desire is not destined to come true, odd numbers - soon your dreams will come true, wealth awaits you.

Card reading

In divination for the future, cards are preferred. Before you start guessing at Baptism, clearly formulate the question. Shuffle the deck of cards and arrange 3 cards in three rows. The first will tell about the past, the second - about the present, the third - about the future.

6s mean the road; 7s talk about news; 8s portend a conversation; 9s promise love; 10s say that wishes gradually come true.

Volts portend chores. For a married woman, it can mean a child. The Lady and the King describe certain people. Ace is a house.

Interpretation regarding suits:

  • worms - reflect personal relationships, love affection;
  • tambourines - plans, money, notices;
  • crosses - social connections;
  • peaks - trouble, negative.

According to the cards, they guess what the future husband will be like. They put 4 kings under the pillow, saying:

"My betrothed, mummers, come to me in a dream."

In the morning, they take out a map from under the pillow:

  • worms - a wealthy lover, a married or in love man: to get him, you have to fight;
  • tambourines - the guy is familiar to you and has been liked for a long time;
  • cross - a soldier or businessman, a person with business acumen;
  • peaks - the chosen one is much older, is in good standing, has great connections in society, is jealous.
  • When evening came, the girls gathered and guessed on a piece of black velvet and a ring. Jewelry must be smooth. The girls take turns rolling the ring over the fabric, saying:

    “I look around the city, I’ll tie my dear to me.”

    The ring is released and they watch where it falls. In that place put a mark with chalk. Whose mark is further - that wedding will soon be. If the ring rolled out of the fabric, marriage is not expected this year.

    Epiphany fortune-telling for the night is also carried out using various paraphernalia. A satin ribbon and a piece of bread are placed in the box. The girl is blindfolded and the items in the box are laid out so that they lie at a distance from each other. If a girl pulls out bread - expect matchmakers, a ribbon - she will walk in girls for another year.

    Conclusion

    At all times, people have tried to find out about their future. Divination for Baptism helped in this. Usually they tell fortunes on the night of January 19 or on the eve of the holiday on January 18. Simple fortune-telling rites are performed at home and do not require special training.

Baptism comes after Christmas time, according to the new style - on the night of January 18-19. They tell fortunes at Epiphany in different ways, they use the same fortune-telling as on Christmas and Christmas time.

Fortune telling on even and odd

Make a wish and sprinkle a handful of nuts or balls on the table. Count the items. If it is even, the wish will come true; if it is odd, it will not come true.

Divination with spruce branches

Before you go to bed, place a medium-sized mirror under your bed and arrange spruce branches around it. Write your deepest desire on the mirror. If in the morning the inscription on the mirror disappears, then the wish should come true.

Divination for the future on a gold chain

Gold has always been of great importance. What mystical properties were not attributed to this metal! It is believed that its brilliance can excite a love feeling. In addition, gold can tell about the future.
Guessing is best late at night. Wait until everyone is in bed. Sit at the table, rub the chain in your hands until you feel warm. Then take the chain in your right hand, shake it a little and throw it sharply on the table. You will get figures that can be interpreted in different ways. ?S If the chain has formed a circle, this means that in the near future you will find yourself in a difficult situation from which it will be difficult for you to find a way out.
A flat bar means that luck and good luck await you.
A tangled knot can mean various life difficulties.
If a triangle is formed (which is quite rare), this promises great success in any business, and especially in love.
Bow - for the imminent wedding.
The snake warns that you should be careful in dealing with people. In the near future, do not trust anyone, you may be betrayed.
Heart - you are loved. Love will bring you happiness and peace of mind.

Divination with needles

Take thirteen needles or pins - ten should be left straight, and three should be slightly bent. Choose one needle for yourself. You can "attach" the needles to other people, although this is not necessary. Take all the needles in your hand and pour them onto a clean sheet of paper, approximately in the middle of the sheet.
Mentally divide the sheet into five parts: top, bottom, right, left and middle. The needles that fell into the upper part of the sheet control circumstances, into the lower part they obey them. The left side is the past, the right side is the future. The middle means stability, harmony, no change. Find your needle. If your needle lies in the middle, intersecting with other needles, the year will be troublesome, but interesting - you will not be bored. Most likely, no changes are expected. Here, however, the position of other “named” needles, if you assigned them, and the direction indicated by your needle also matter:
if the eye of the needle is directed to the upper right corner of the sheet, changes will come, and such as you want, but not in the next year, but in the next;
if the eye of the needle is directed to the lower right corner, there will be changes, but not the ones you want;
if the ear is directed to the upper or lower left corner, this means that changes have either already taken place or are possible in the coming year, but it will take a lot of effort from you to implement them;
if your needle does not intersect with other needles, you will experience loneliness, you will have to rely only on your own strength, connections with other people will be short and fragile.

If your needle lies at the top of the sheet, then you yourself will control your destiny in the new year. You know how to influence events. As you wish - so be it. But pay attention:
if the eye of your needle is directed to the lower right corner, your influence on events will gradually decrease;
if the eye of your needle is directed to the left corners, you should be careful. The situation will require either significant efforts or unseemly actions from you.

Your needle is at the bottom of the sheet: rely on the will of God. You yourself are unlikely to be able to change something in this situation, so try to use it as much as possible.

Pay attention to the connections of your needle with other needles (dependence), the direction of the eye (trend) and the placement of crooked needles. It is best if all the needles, both curved and straight, are turned with their heads towards yours: this means that none of the people around you will harm you. If neighboring needles touch your needle with the upper part (eye), pleasant surprises, help from friends and success in business await you. However, any, and especially a curved, needle, the tip of which crosses your needle or is simply directed in your direction, means trouble, failure or loss. Therefore, the further such a needle is from yours, the better.

A crooked needle means a premeditated intention. If all three crooked needles are pointed away from yours, then your ill-wishers will not reach their goal. Crooked needles on the left side of the sheet (past) - troubles that are already behind. But, if the tip of your needle is directed towards these needles, this means that you yourself do not let your opponents calm down.

A crooked needle on the right, and especially at the top, can mean a big nuisance awaiting you in the new year. Here again the tendency is important: it is better to be turned to danger with an eye or a point than with the whole surface. Straight needles pointing in your direction with an eye mean help, support, good luck.

Fortune telling on an egg

For this divination, you need a glass and a raw egg. Pierce the egg with a thin needle from the sharp end and carefully release the protein into the water. The yolk should not get into the water. Slightly shake the glass and put it for a while, about half an hour, in a cool place (on the street or in the underground in the village, and in a city apartment you can also put it in the refrigerator). Then take out the glass and see what kind of figures have formed. Here you can show your imagination, and everyone may have their own associations, but approximate, general interpretations of the figures are given below. It is considered a bad omen if the squirrel did not form any figure and simply lay on the bottom.

When the pieces of wax are completely melted, quickly pour the contents into cold water and examine the resulting figures. Sometimes they do it differently.

The site site team has collected for you the most reliable fortune telling that has been popular for a long time. They are carefully passed from mouth to mouth from the older generation to the younger, and you can use them on the night of Epiphany.

Divination by shoes

This method is one of the most popular. At night, an unmarried girl must leave the house, turn her back on the road and throw her shoes over her shoulder with a flourish. In which direction the sock looks, from there it is worth waiting for your betrothed. If the shoe lies with a toe to the door of the girl’s house, then in the coming year she should not expect new love. However, in the modern world, many people live in apartment buildings, so the toe of a boot or shoe may indicate that your betrothed is very close.

Divination with a mirror

This ritual is no less loved by young girls. For divination, you will need privacy, 2 candles and two medium-sized mirrors. Previously, fortunetelling in this way went to the bathhouse, but in modern conditions this is hardly possible, so the ritual can be performed in a separate room with closed doors and windows. Place the mirrors so that they form a corridor, place candles on the sides and light them. Sit comfortably and peer deep into the mirror surface. Repeat the words to yourself: “My betrothed, come to me. Show yourself, look at me."

After a while, you will be able to see the outlines of a person. Many claim that they clearly saw the face of a male stranger, who in the future turned out to be the same narrowed one.

Divination in the name of the betrothed

In the dark, a girl needs to go outside and ask the first man she meets for his name. According to popular beliefs, this is how the future husband will be called. In the modern world, fortune-telling can also be done by phone. Dial an unknown number and wait for an answer. If a woman answers at the other end, then in your personal life there will be obstacles and problems associated with the fairer sex. If a man answers, then feel free to ask his name. By the way, many believe that in this way you can make a wish. If a stranger answers you "Yes" instead of "Hello", then it will come true.

Christmas time ends on January 18th. Therefore, fortune-telling before going to bed on the night of Epiphany is considered the most truthful. At this time, it is allowed to carry out the most complex rituals, find out the name of the betrothed and predict future events.

There are so many ways to "invite" a future spouse into your own dream:

Put a comb and a bar of soap under the pillow, and then say the words: “The one who is appointed by fate, come, wash me and comb my hair”;

Get four kings from a new card deck, hide under the bed at the head, press down on top with the heel of your favorite shoes. Before going to bed, whisper a conspiracy: “My betrothed mummer, I am waiting for you beautiful, dressed up. Come into my house, show yourself to me, marvel at me, marvel at my beauty. If a king of spades is seen in a dream, it means that the future groom will be several years older than the girl or higher in social status. It can also predict that the future spouse will be very jealous or greedy. The king of clubs portends a widowed man, a military man or a very reserved person with business acumen. The king of hearts promises the dreamer a young, fairly wealthy guy who will have to be fought for. The king of diamonds promises a love relationship and a possible wedding with a person for whom the girl has the most tender feelings;




Before going to bed, eat a salty dish, put a glass of water at the head of the bed and say: “There is water, I can’t get drunk. Come, my dear, give me some water to drink."

Important: you need to go to bed in a clean nightgown of light colors, with loose hair. It is advisable to remove the pectoral cross, rings and bracelets. You need to say “whispers” several times, and after that go to bed and not talk to anyone.

Only the most daring girls will dare to tell fortunes about the betrothed in the following way. As soon as midnight strikes, you need to take a broom and start sweeping your own room. Making waves on the right side, it is necessary to read a prayer. Sweeping rubbish to the left, you need to utter curses. After that, a line is drawn in the middle of the room. Ideally, it should be drawn with charcoal, but you can resort to using chalk.

According to popular beliefs, the future spouse really comes to some young ladies. But there were those who saw the devil.

Divination by the betrothed using a mirror is distinguished by special magic. As soon as midnight strikes, you need to get rid of elastic bands and hairpins, comb your hair, put on a nightgown, remove jewelry and belts. Then go to the kitchen, install a mirror on the countertop, light a candle, sit opposite and say: “My betrothed, come drink tea. My betrothed, come to supper. My betrothed, show yourself to me.




You need to sit still and carefully look at the left shoulder of your own mirror image. Before the devil comes in the guise of a betrothed, the flame of the candle sways slightly and becomes dimmer. The mirror may darken. At this point, it must be wiped with a clean towel.

After a while, the groom will come and look at the girl from the mirror. Having examined the features of the face, it is necessary to clearly pronounce the words-amulets: "Keep away from this place." The image will disappear. To complete the divination, you need to extinguish the candle, wrap the mirror with a clean towel and hide it in a secluded place, with the mirror surface down.

We must not forget about the words-amulets. Otherwise, the devil may come out of the mirror. If this happened, the main thing is not to get confused and fulfill your promise - to treat him with tea.
Important: fortune-telling on the mirror must be carried out in absolute silence, in a secluded place. None of the relatives should know about the ritual. After the ceremony, you need to go to sleep without saying a word.

Divination for desire

January 18, on the night of Epiphany, you can also guess the fulfillment of a wish. To do this, before going to bed, you need to cut out twelve rectangular pieces of white paper, write down one wish on each and put it under the pillow. In the morning, without getting out of bed, pull out any three sheets. The wishes that will be written on them will surely come true.

A few hours before bedtime, take a small mirror outside. Before going to bed, bring it back into the house, write a wish on a mirror surface with your finger, hide it at the head of the bed and place several spruce branches in a circle. The dream will come true if the inscription disappears by morning.




Write a wish on thin "cigarette" paper, go out onto a balcony or a small hillock. Wait for a gust of wind and release the leaf. If he rushes up, his plan will certainly come true. If it flies down, then luck will turn away from the person. A leaf circling in a spiral means that efforts will have to be made to achieve the intended goals.

Pour rice into a transparent glass and say: "Tell fate, what should I expect: good or evil, prosperity or bad, good health or a miracle." Next, you need to quickly make a wish and pour the rice onto a flat surface. From the whole mass, spoiled grains must be selected and counted. If their number is odd, then the plan will certainly come true.

Interesting: You can even tell fortunes on a wish using your phone. To do this, you need to concentrate on your dream and wait for a phone call. If a man calls first, then the plan will be fulfilled in the very near future.

How to know the future

It will not be superfluous on the night of Epiphany, January 18, to tell fortunes about future events. Before going to bed, you need to take a shower, comb your hair, put on light, loose clothes, and remove all jewelry.

At midnight, fill a glass dish with water, gently pour in the egg white and hide under the bed. After three hours, you need to see what form it has taken:




The heart promises new relationships;
the arch promises important changes in life and the transition to a new stage;
the bow advises to establish relationships with loved ones;
pancake portends loneliness;
a wreath is considered a harbinger of joyful events;
a balloon prepares for temporary difficulties;
the mushroom is a harbinger of good health, longevity and material well-being;
the road opens up new perspectives;
a drop promises money;
an apple promises a temptation that is better not to succumb, as well as obtaining new sources of income;
the web warns against intrigue and gossip;
the strip portends a move or a long journey.

When interpreting what you see, the main thing is to listen to your own intuition.

Similarly, you can guess on wax. To do this, it is necessary to melt the candle in an iron mug and slowly pour it into a deep vessel with water. No need to blow on it, push it or straighten the edges. After the wax has cooled, you need to remove it from the plate, turn it over and interpret your fate according to the figures you saw on the inside.

Note: you can guess on wax only when the moon is clearly visible in the sky.

For the next fortune-telling, you will need seven small glasses. In each of them you need to put salt, sugar, pepper, a piece of bread, a coin, a ring and a match. Next, you need to blindfold and randomly take any glass. According to its contents, fate is predicted for the coming year:




Sugar promises good luck, luck and "dolce life";
salt prepares for sadness, parting, tears and temporary difficulties;
pepper promises an eventful life filled with vivid emotions and impressions;
bread is considered a harbinger of stability and prosperity;
the coin promises a significant improvement in financial situation;
the ring portends a marriage with a loved one;
the match prepares for replenishment in the family.

You can get the answer to a difficult question with the help of a kitchen knife. Such fortune-telling on the night of Epiphany, January 18, requires maximum concentration. Before going to bed, you need to write down possible answers on sheets of paper and spread them around the cutting board on which the knife is located. For a few minutes, you need to clearly pronounce the question to yourself. It is impossible to be distracted by extraneous noise. It is better to carry out the ritual when all the household members are already asleep.




After formulating the question, you need to unwind the knife. The action is repeated three times. The first answer pointed out by the knife's edge is the most truthful. The remaining two are considered auxiliary and help to understand the situation in more detail and draw up a plan of possible actions.

Absolutely everyone is allowed to guess on the night of Epiphany. You need to carefully listen to the prompts of the Higher Forces, but at the same time do not forget that each person independently creates his own destiny.
