The tradition of fortune telling at Christmas time is the most ancient and, apparently, will live on for a very long time. For, in addition to the natural desire to know what is hidden, the sacrament of Christmas fortune-telling is very spectacular and exciting, and sometimes terrifying and frightening. Christmastide lasts from January 7 to January 19. So if you didn’t have time to tell your fortune on Christmas night, when magical sessions are most powerful, you will have almost two more weeks at your disposal when you can spend Christmas fortune telling.
Christmastide fortune telling is very popular among young girls and families. Late evening or early at night girls get together to find out the name of the future groom or the date of their wedding, and family ladies wonder about the wealth in the house.
During the session, everyone had to adhere to certain rules and conditions.
1. You cannot cross your arms and legs. One explanation for this is that it can kind of confuse the things with which you intend to perform the ritual.
2. Be sure to remove all rings and other objects that are tied to you or encircle any limbs. These can be belts or bracelets. In some cases, they let down their hair or even take off their shoes and clothes.
3. There should be no noise in the room, there should be complete silence. All other lighting except candles is excluded.
4. During Christmas fortune-telling, a girl should not be under the protection of her religion. Therefore, they must remove pectoral crosses and the icons are removed from the room.
Particular attention was paid to the choice of place, which must necessarily be considered “unclean”. One of best places was considered a bathhouse. After all, this is where, according to legend, spirits, various scarecrows and other evil spirits lived. Some abandoned place was very good for fortune telling at Christmas time. an old house, basement or attic. Those who were especially brave dared to tell fortunes even in the cemetery, because it was the places at the junction of two worlds - the border places - that were considered valuable. Such places can be thresholds, gates, corners in the house. But, perhaps, the crossroads have always been considered one of the most sinister places. They say that each of them belongs to some kind of demon, and in this place anyone will feel the presence dark forces. (when this particular proposal was being written for the site, a cat litter tray suddenly fell in the corridor, standing sideways near the wall and drying...)
1. At night, go to a crossroads and, having asked a question about your future groom, draw a circle around you. After this, you must listen carefully to what is happening around you. Cheerful conversations, laughter, singing, and any other positive emotions will mean an early marriage. Swearing, quarrels, crying will delay your marriage by a year.
2. On one of the evenings during the holy week, people gather funny company from several people. Small objects specially prepared for this are laid out on the table: a coin, a ring, a needle, an earring, a scarf. You can get creative and add a few other items. Then the man lowers it without looking left hand on the table. This Christmas fortune telling is to understand the meaning of the thing on which the hand has fallen. For example, a coin - to wealth, a scarf - to sorrows and problems, a key - new flat. Ring for a wedding. Girls can change this fortune telling a little and thus find out the profession of their future groom. A coin is a banker, a passport is a lawyer, a driver’s license is a minibus driver, a flash drive is a programmer, scissors is a builder, a spoon is a cook. Here again everything is decided by imagination.
3. For the next Christmastide fortune-telling, you will need a cat or cat. Let the animal stand outside the threshold of the room. Make a wish and call your cat. If she crosses the threshold with her left paw, the wish will definitely come true, and if she crosses the threshold with her right paw, obstacles will arise that you will have to overcome.
4. This is a very famous fortune telling that can be used on any day, not only during the holiday week. Take some book. Write down the page and line number at the top. All that remains is to open the book and interpret what you read.
During Christmas time, you can also tell fortunes online, sitting at your computer. We are sure that on our website you will find several fortune telling that are dear to your heart. We hope you enjoy these festive evenings with us!
And now we will look at several ancient Christmas fortune telling, which can be combined under common name: fortune telling for dreams. By the way, during Christmas time all dreams are prophetic! So from January 7 to January 19, be especially attentive to everything you see in your dreams.
But now we will try the most simple methods, using which you can, for example, see your future husband in a dream or find out when your wedding will take place and whether your marriage will be successful, and simply find out what awaits you next year. I would like to immediately make a reservation that our great-great-grandmothers used most of the Christmas fortune-telling in general, and for sleep in particular, in order to see their betrothed. After all, you will agree that it is always easier to wait when you know who you are waiting for... And now, while the Christmastide is going on, you will have a wonderful opportunity to try to take at least one look at that “prince on a white horse,” whose image always lives in the soul of every girl and women.
Prophetic dream
Another fortune telling is called “on prophetic dream" Here, on the contrary, you need to comb your hair properly before going to bed, and always with a clean comb, and then put it under the pillow. The pillowcase on the pillow should also be clean and fresh. In this fortune telling you will not have to cast any spells, just when you go to bed, think about the person you would like to love: what he should look like, what his eyes, hair, what voice will be like. The clearer the image you create and the stronger the strength of your desire to see your loved one in the flesh, the sooner you yourself will attract him into your life. At first you will just see him in a dream, and after some time you may run into him on the street, on the subway, or at a friendly party. After all, our thoughts are material, and they can become our reality tomorrow...
Fortune telling for wish fulfillment
Ah, these desires... We all lack something in life, we always want something, and right away - here and now, we don’t want to wait. And if it doesn’t work out right away, then you need to at least know exactly what will come true and when (if it comes true, of course). That is why we will now try to tell fortunes for the fulfillment of a wish.
Salt is not white death, but a reliable fortune teller
Now let's look at a few fortune telling with salt. Yes, salt is also a magical element. Although, if you look, everything in our world has its own magic, we just don’t notice it yet. But we have everything ahead...
So, salt... Take about a thimble of salt and the same amount of water, mix and eat. Yes, it certainly tastes disgusting, but sometimes the results are simply amazing. You can’t drink anything else before going to bed, otherwise it will spoil all the fortune-telling. Before going to bed, say the spell three times: “Who is my betrothed, who is my mummer, he will give me a drink” and calmly fall asleep, thinking about your loved one. You will be thirsty like crazy, I admit right away, but you will actually see your betrothed in a dream, who, seeing how you are suffering because of him, will certainly come and give you something to drink. And in the morning you will not be thirsty at all.
The next method is usually called “Salty food”, it is very similar to the previous one.
The only difference is that you don’t have to eat a whole thimble of salt before going to bed. Just eat something salty - for example, herring, pickled cucumbers or pickled mushrooms, but then under no circumstances drink, no matter how much you want to. Now lie down in bed and imagine your betrothed, draw his image as vividly as possible and say the spell: “My betrothed, mummer, come to me and give me a drink.” And at night your loved one will come to you and give you a drink, maybe he will not be the one you expected, but he will definitely come. Now look forward to meeting him, but not in a dream, but in reality.
I scratch my hair with my fingers...
Fortune telling by hair. Ask your friends for several hairs, you need one red hair, the second one is light, and the third one is dark. Take a gray hair from your grandmother, and you will also need a widow's hair. The last one - the sixth hair - will be yours. Now cut out seven squares from paper and wrap each hair in a separate piece of paper. As you can see, there are six hairs and seven pieces of paper, so don’t put anything in the last seventh square, just wrap it empty. All seven resulting bags should look exactly the same on the outside. Now put them under the pillow, saying: “What fate will it be for me to get such a hair?” Nothing more can be said this evening.
In the morning, when you wake up, immediately without looking, pull out one bag from under the pillow and see what kind of hair is there. Red hair means that your husband will also be red and kind, gray - he will be much older than you, dark - gloomy, stern and unkind, light - blond. If you come across a widow’s hair, you will either become a widower early or marry a widower; if the hair is yours, then you will live with your husband in perfect harmony, but if the envelope is empty, you can’t count on a successful wedding yet, there’s even a risk of staying old maid
Hay, straw...
Fortune telling with straw is most interesting when there are a lot of people, so invite all your friends. And when midnight strikes, gather everyone in one room, light a candle and begin... As a result of this fortune telling, you can find out the name of your betrothed. To do this, collect a heap of straw somewhere (as you can see, it is most convenient to carry out all these fortune-telling somewhere in the village), bring it into the house and beat, crumple and roll it in such a way that all the straws are mixed up as much as possible and you have it would turn out to be a lump of straw that needs to be placed on the table. Place a frying pan on top of the resulting lump, place a medium-sized stone on the frying pan and pour a little water. The structure is quite unstable, so be careful not to let it fall apart prematurely.
Then everyone needs to shut up so that there is complete silence in the house, and only now can one guess. Each girl present must slowly, very carefully pull out one straw from the coma. As you understand, this is quite difficult to do, since twisted and tangled straws are difficult to pull out. To prevent the spikelet from breaking, the straw must be pulled very slowly. But if you have patience and skill, this fortune telling will not disappoint you. At the same time, the water in the frying pan will splash slightly, the stone lying on the frying pan will scratch along the bottom, tremble and oscillate, making different sounds.
Listen carefully! It is in this sound that you should hear the name of your betrothed. In the ensuing silence, you will hear vague sounds vaguely reminiscent of human speech. You can even distinguish very specific words in them. Of course, this is not so easy right away, which is why, while you are guessing, there should be complete silence in the room, so that not a single sound fills your ears and does not distract your attention from trying to hear the name of the person you love most...
Fortune telling on a mitten
This method will simply help you determine whether it is worth waiting for a person who is for some reason delayed. For example, your fiance is again stuck somewhere at work or something worse... Take an ordinary mitten or mitten and throw it to the ceiling as high as possible. Now watch how it falls down: if the thumb is up, then this means that the one you are waiting for will definitely arrive, he is already on his way; and if your thumb is down, then, alas, you are out of luck again today. But maybe this person is not worth waiting for? Think...
a swan song
For this fortune telling you will need a lot of wax. If you can’t get wax, you can get out of the situation by taking several large paraffin candles and melting them. From the resulting paraffin, while it is still warm, mold, to the best of your artistic abilities, a flock of swans (but do not forget that each swan should have a pair). There should be as many swans as there are girls who will participate in fortune-telling. Therefore, get together with your friends one evening and start “sculpting”... Now paint the swan with blush, and let the swan remain white. Now you all have a pair of swans, remember which is whose, you can mark them somehow so as not to confuse them later.
Then you need to take a large basin or wooden tub and fill it about three-quarters full with water. Although if there are not many people and the swans are also small, then a small bowl or pan will be enough. Now each of you must carefully lower your pair into the water, and then cover the entire vessel with a piece of cloth. And before you go to bed, go and watch your swan and her swan swim. If they swim together, then your family life will be successful, you will live with your husband in perfect harmony, in complete harmony, but if the swans go in different directions, then you will not be lucky in your marriage - quarrels and discord, constant conflicts, so Think carefully before getting married next year.
The future is on the water
Tell me, have you ever wondered how many children you will have and what gender? I think yes. So let's try to answer it using fortune telling.
In the evening, pour water into a glass, put a ring in it and put it outside in the cold. And somewhere around midnight, before you go to bed, take a glass into the house and watch how the ice freezes. Recount the number of tubercles formed and the number of holes or pits. The number of tubercles indicates how many sons you will have, and the number of holes indicates how many daughters you will have. Now you know whether you will be a heroine mother with many children or whether you will have an ordinary family- son and daughter.
It often happens that modern young unmarried girls do not know what to do with themselves during the New Year and Christmas holidays, wasting their precious time on banal relaxation in front of the TV and computer, visiting people, various household and household chores and all sorts of pre-holiday bustle. But in the traditions of our people there are more than funny and interesting options Yuletide pastime. For example, fortune telling at Christmas time for your betrothed or guidance.
Christmas time is one of the most important periods of the year. This is the time between two key holidays of Christianity - the Birth and Baptism of Christ the Savior. In total, Christmastide takes twelve days, beginning with Kolyada (in the Slavic tradition) or Christmas on the seventh day of the first month of the year and ending with the actual feast of Epiphany, celebrated on the nineteenth of January.
IN church tradition This time is considered sacred and blissful, ideal for making communions, confessing, reading prayers and thanking God. On the other hand, it is believed that during this period the line between worlds weakens significantly, so information from otherworldly universes becomes available to a person.
That’s why it’s best to guess on holidays - there is a high probability of getting the most reliable information about those things that are in usual time closed to the person. For example, find out about your destiny, the number of years of your life ahead, as well as about your future husband and family life with him, which is especially interesting for young unmarried girls.
It should not be forgotten, however, that Orthodox Church does not welcome any fortune-telling practices, and even more so considers fortune-telling for a betrothed to be sinful, because a person must initially submit to the will of God, trusting him in everything, including in choosing his life partner. And resorting to the help of the Evil One in order to find out what awaits a person in the near future is completely shameful for an Orthodox Christian. However, the Slavic tradition has developed its own beliefs about how to circumvent these conventions. For example, in order for the fortune-telling to come true and taint the person as little as possible, you must remember to do the following:
- read prayers by heart before the ritual in order to cleanse yourself beforehand, as well as after the ritual in order to remove sin from oneself;
- Be sure to remove your belts, jewelry, and especially crosses before fortune telling;
- It is better to carry out the ritual in a remote and uninhabited place; Previously, baths or old huts where there were no icons were chosen for this, in modern conditions bathrooms, a garage or any technical room are suitable;
- Fortune telling should be started only in the dark, when the sun is below the horizon;
- during fortune telling, you should remember that everything is in the hands of God, do not worry too much about unsuccessful fortune telling or bad omens;
- It is advisable not to guess alone, but to do it together: fortune telling alone not only creates unnecessary fear, but also opens a person’s soul to evil spirits;
- fortune telling must be done by a strictly defined group of people, for example, if girls are going to tell fortunes, then the guys should not be allowed in, and the number of girls must be odd;
- under no circumstances should you cross your legs during fortune-telling, so as not to interfere with fate manifesting itself on those ritual things that are used in the ritual process;
- at the end of the ritual, go to church, confess, light candles for your loved ones, ask God for forgiveness.
How to find out the name of your betrothed?
Standard fortune telling for a betrothed on holy days is distinguished by its simplicity and tradition. Who hasn't heard about the famous shoe throwing or eavesdropping at the church? And rituals for the coming sleep, which involve placing one or another object under the pillow, with the help of which the betrothed will have access to the dream of the girl who ordered the ritual, have become classics. Many of these practices were described by the greats (Pushkin, Gogol and others), who were no strangers to folk traditions Slavs
Today, fortune telling takes on a new meaning. The era of computerization makes its own adjustments both to people’s relationships and, in particular, to people’s connections with other world. Now, for example, it is not necessary to guess from the psalter - you can use any book instead, even of modern authorship. And the mysterious and mystical fortune-telling with the mirror corridor has already turned into an equally strange fortune-telling with a computer monitor.
Do these methods actually work or are they just a good imitation of real fortune telling? Probably, everything depends on the person’s faith, but experts still recommend not to deviate from ancient traditions, reproducing ancient rituals in all the subtleties and details, as they were originally described. Here are some of these fortune-telling techniques.
This video describes several methods of fortune telling for your betrothed:
Mirror spruce fortune telling
The best fortune telling for your betrothed at Christmas time are those that are done with mirrors. But, if you don’t have the courage to lock yourself alone in a bathhouse or an abandoned hut, alone with a mirrored corridor, there is only one option left - to do this simple and very effective fortune telling:
- In advance you need to select a medium mirror (preferably the size of your arms), as well as 2 spruce branches (but any evergreen tree will do).
- You need to start fortune telling at midnight. To do this, write the name of the person you like on the mirror, and place the mirror under the bed.
- Christmas tree branches are laid around the mirror surface.
- In the morning, preferably without getting out of bed, you should take the ritual object out from under the bed and look at it.
- If the inscription on the mirror surface is visible, it means that in the near future you will have a serious relationship with this person, marriage. But if the name is not visible, then it’s not destiny.
In rare cases, certain signs appear next to the person’s name written on the mirror, the most dangerous of them is a cross, indicating a severe blow, illness or loss of the person about whom it was written.
Water-paper fortune telling
With the help of some rituals, you can find out not only the name of the future husband assigned to a girl by her fate, but also the year or even the specific date of marriage with him. It is suggested to do the following:
- Place in a large basin clean water(ideally, not from a tap, but from a spring or river) to the brim.
- Pre-prepare a large number of separate pieces of paper with names written on them and separately with the years or dates of the intended marriage (can be in the form of “in a year”, “in two years”, etc.). At the same time, it is important to twist each piece of paper into a neat tube so that it does not unfold on its own, but remains in a curled state.
- The more options for dates and names are depicted on paper, the higher the likelihood that fortune telling will show the truth, so you should not be lazy when writing this data.
- By candlelight, as soon as the clock strikes midnight, in one fell swoop throw the names and dates prepared on paper into a container of liquid.
- Now you need to carefully monitor what is happening on the surface of the water. Water, as a universal conductor of the true energies of the world, will tell the truth about the future, pushing out true options to the surface. Whichever piece of paper opens first with the name - that’s what the betrothed will be called. The first piece of paper with the date opens - then marry him.
At present, however, this fortune-telling should be deciphered much more broadly, remembering the first few names and dates unfolded, which is associated with the high prevalence of divorce and remarriage in society.
Lock-closing fortune telling
Another option for fortune telling at Christmas time in the name of the betrothed is carried out with the help of one of the close relatives (mother, aunt, sister, cousin) or a friend of the fortune-telling girl. The main condition of this ritual is that the fortuneteller herself should not be present. And this is done like this:
- Main actor- the fortune-telling girl is taken to another hut (preferably an unfamiliar one) or at least to another room, after which they are put to bed.
- When midnight comes, her friend or relative takes a padlock and locks it with some item of clothing of the girl who is spending the night in another house.
- The woman should place the key to the treasured lock at the head of her bed, saying: “Mummer, come quickly to save your bride, unlock it with the key, and help her out of trouble.”
- Then the fortune teller also goes to bed for the night, trying not to move the key from its original place. Her friend's fiancé must come to her at night for the key to free his love.
- In the morning the lock is opened, the girl is returned to her father’s house and they tell her the dream her friend or relative had about her betrothed.
Apple love spell fortune telling
And at Christmas time you can not only tell fortunes about the groom, but also bewitch someone who has already attracted your attention. However, before this fortune-telling, it is better to first make sure that the chosen person is destined for fate by checking this using other fortune-telling methods. Only after such a check can you proceed directly to the fortune-telling love spell ritual:
- You need to take a red apple and cut out its core in the shape of a heart-triangle.
- Then write your loved one's name on a very small piece of paper and place it inside the apple instead of the core.
- Cover the top of the paper insert with a cut out heart.
- After this, the resulting composition should be set aside somewhere away from prying eyes, in a dry and dark place for 3 days.
- After 3 days, they check what happened to the fruit. If the apple begins to dry, then your loved one will pay attention and love it too. But if the apple starts to rot, it means it’s not your destiny to be with him and it’s better to immediately stop loving him, giving up on trying to charm him.
- It is not recommended to throw away the fortune telling apple. It is better to bury it or feed it to animals.
Prophetic dreams have not yet been fully studied. Many consider them magical and mystical. There are special practices that allow you to find out answers to questions of interest or future events with the help of dreams. These include Christmas fortune-telling, special rituals and conspiracies that allow you to see the image of your betrothed in a dream and even talk to him. You can also use complex rituals performed at night, which will help you look at your future husband in a mirror or water.

It is believed that it is during the holidays that you can find out whether you will get married next year, who will be your betrothed, and whether you will have good luck throughout the year. Of course, the night is old New Year- this is the best time to find out your future. But if you didn’t manage to tell your fortune at the right time, don’t worry - the Christmastide will continue until Epiphany Eve, and you can perform the sacrament until January 18.
For fortune telling to be successful, you must follow a number of important rules. Before performing the ritual, you need to let your hair down and untie the knots on your clothes. It is necessary to remove the belt, bracelets, chains, rings - all these are amulets that close our energy and prevent its unity with the energy of spirits. During fortune telling, it is better not to cross your arms and legs. You can cast a spell alone or in the company of friends, but the room where the ritual takes place should be as quiet as possible. What matters is the attitude and the right way to look into the future. Best time to perform the Yuletide sacraments - midnight or hours before sunrise.
Fortune telling about the betrothed and marriage
