Before falling asleep, they eat very salty food, which should not be washed down. They say to themselves, “Whoever is my betrothed, whoever is my mummer, will give me a drink.” The person who appears and drinks you in your dreams will become your husband.
By name
To determine what name the groom will have, as Christmas midnight approaches, fortune tellers find out the name of the man they meet first after leaving the house. The spouse will be called the same way.
To the profession of the betrothed
The fortune telling girl is tightly blindfolded. Objects associated with various crafts are placed on the table:
- textbook (teacher),
- photography (photographer),
- ruler (engineer),
- thermometer (doctor) and others,
- and also necessarily - wedding ring.
The girl must take one of the provided items at random. If three times in a row her choice falls on the same one, her beloved will turn out to be a representative of this particular profession. If the choice falls on the ring three times, this means that next year she will definitely get married, but it is not known what profession her husband will belong to.
For marriage by thread
The red thread prophesies a quick marriage, and the black thread suggests channeling your energy towards your career. Three threads (black, red and white) are threaded into three needles and attached to the clothes on the girl’s back. She should feel where they are located, but should not know where each is. Then the fortuneteller needs to pull out one thread. White will be chosen - marriage is not expected in the near future, red - marriage will be concluded within a year and a baby will be born soon, black - it is better to focus on your career.
When several girls are telling fortunes together, they cut off a thread of the same length for each, which is taken with the left hand, and at the same time set it on fire. right hand. The one whose thread burns out faster than the others will go down the aisle first. If the thread quickly goes out or burns out even to half, marriage is not expected.

By map
Before the onset of Christmas night, the card with the King of Diamonds is hidden under the pillow and mentally imagined the very person whose wife they would like to become. What is seen in a dream will certainly come true.
Fortune telling on your betrothed using mirrors
Fortune telling with mirrors is one of the most exciting, frightening and dangerous By midnight, the girl needs to go into a dark room where there are no animals or strangers, and lock the doors and windows. The presence of one or two friends was allowed, who were not allowed to look at the reflections, approach the fortuneteller and speak.
Two cleaned mirrors (preferably large) are placed opposite each other and illuminated with two candles of equal height on both edges. It is most convenient if one of them is wall-mounted, but the second should be rotated so that the reflections line a long corridor illuminated by candle flames. Then you need to peer for a long time and with concentration at the end of the created corridor, where the image of the betrothed will appear. If the fortuneteller has not fainted from fear and anxiety, when he appears she needs to quickly shout “Out of this place!”, and then the evil spirits, who have taken the form of the future spouse, will disappear and will not be able to cause harm.
To conduct another ritual of Christmas fortune-telling using a mirror, the girl places it on a table located in empty room, two sets of cutlery and prepares a towel that will come in handy later. Sitting down at the table and placing a lit candle between herself and the mirror, she calls upon her destiny with the words “Mummer, betrothed, come to dinner with me.” Five minutes before it appears, the surface of the mirror will begin to noticeably darken, and then you should wipe it with a towel. Having examined the desired features of the cute face that soon appeared, the fortuneteller must shout “Out of this place!”, thereby driving away the spirit that has taken on human form.
For the groom with a ring
To carry out this fortune-telling, you need a simple glass without any design, with a flat, even bottom, which is filled three-quarters with water. Then the wedding ring is carefully placed in the middle, which must be thoroughly cleaned. After a long and continuous gaze at the center of the circle, you can see the face of the future spouse through the water.
On a relationship on needles
It is better to take sewing needles rather than embroidery ones To carry out the ritual, you will need ordinary sewing needles of any size and a container of water. Determine one needle for yourself, and the number of other needles should be equal to the number of people with whom you are interested in relationships. It's best if they are different sizes. If you are interested in a relationship with your chosen one, take two needles: a smaller one for yourself, a larger one for him. Then you should carefully and thickly grease them with fat (fat cream, butter, lard are suitable) and lower them one by one onto the surface of the water. Based on how they interact, we can draw conclusions.
- If all the needles go to the bottom, it means that they were not lubricated well enough.
- If the needle that you have secured for yourself sinks, your environment may completely change in the coming year and many of the old connections will be lost.
- The needles that will remain floating on the surface symbolize the people who will remain in your environment in the new year, while connections with those people whose needles will sink will be interrupted.
- Two connected needles mean union or marriage.
- Needles stuck together along the entire length represent a strong friendship.
For love by matches
Two matches, inserted into a matchbox on opposite sides and symbolizing lovers, are set on fire. If, after they burn, their heads are facing each other, the couple will experience happiness together.
Ritual with water on the character of the future husband
Take fresh, live water, such as spring water. Boiled or passed through a filter does not have such strength Four glasses of water are prepared, no different from each other, and a spoon is placed in one of them. citric acid, in the second - honey, in the third - wine, in the fourth - salt, and mix the contents in each. The glasses are covered with a thick napkin and placed on a tray, and then, closing your eyes, twist them so as not to know their location. Then they turn off the light and drink water from a randomly selected glass.
A glass with salt foreshadowed a joyless, boring life, with wine - it promised a husband who drank often, with salt - he prophesied a sea of bitter tears. A glass of honey meant that the spouse would have a cheerful and gentle disposition.
How to find out the temperament of your future spouse using cards
Before falling asleep, four kings are placed under the pillow from a deck that no one has ever played, and they say: “Who is my betrothed, who is my mummer, dream in my dreams.” The King of the Cross, who appears in dreams, promises a husband-officer or entrepreneur, the King of Hearts - young and wealthy, the King of Spades - jealous and elderly, and the King of Hearts - a loved one.
Fortune telling for children with a ring
A ring is placed at the bottom of a mug filled with water, asking a question about future children, and left to freeze in the cold. If the next morning the ice surface is smooth and even, there will be no children. The resulting tubercles symbolize sons, and the depressions symbolize daughters. Their number coincides with the number of children who will be born in the future.

Fortune telling with a mirror
The most famous way to find out what your betrothed looks like was midnight fortune telling with mirrors. Usually it was held in a bathhouse, the explanation being that such a place was especially secluded. Therefore, the room where the ceremony is performed must be quiet and completely dark. The girls usually wore their hair down.
The essence of this method is that it is necessary to place two mirrors close to each other. A candle is placed on each side of the mirrors. After such preparations, it is important to say:
- “My betrothed, the mummer, show yourself to me.”
After which you need to carefully peer into the reflection of the mirror: the answer can be given either immediately or after a certain period of time. Such fortune telling especially often works on Christmas night for the reasons stated earlier.
There is also a very simple way to find out the name of your betrothed. At midnight from January 6th to 7th you need to leave the house, go up to the first man on the street and ask his name. Your loved one will have the same name.
Fortune telling in a dream
This fortune-telling can be done at any time during the Christmas week, but it will be especially effective on the night before Christmas. It all lies in the fact that before going to bed you need to put your comb under your pillow and say the following words:
- “My betrothed-mummer, come to me and comb me.”
However, there are several conditions:
- hair should be loose;
- the girl is alone in the bed and room;
- you need to put the pillow and lie on it on the opposite side of the one on which you usually sleep, turning it over;
- Pillowcases and pajamas must be worn inside out.
There is a similar algorithm for fortune telling in the name of the betrothed using a sock: again, before going to bed, the fortune teller needs to put one sock on right leg, and place the left sock under the pillow. The only difference is in the phrase:
- “Who should I live with forever, come and take off my sock.”
Whoever takes off a sock in a dream will be the betrothed.
There is another option - you need to do the same thing with the sock, except for the spoken words:
- “My betrothed-mummer, come to me and put your shoes on me.”
In this case, in a dream future groom should put the second sock on the girl's foot, and not take it off.
Salt help
This Christmas fortune-telling for a betrothed is also associated with the interpretation of a dream: shortly before going to bed, an unmarried girl should eat or drink something highly salty (ideally, you need to eat a small amount of salt) and without drinking water and without contacting anyone , say the phrase: “Betrothed-mummer, bring some water, let me drink” and try to fall asleep immediately.
The next morning you need to remember who gave you water or something to drink: he will be your destiny.
The most true fortune telling to sleep - how to see your betrothed?
Using paper
During this fortune telling, you need to be especially focused and attentive, since a specific answer can only be obtained through associations and guessing.
You need to take a large sheet of paper, preferably even newspaper, and crumple it into a shapeless state, without trying to make a perfect circle. Then take a flat plate, put crumpled paper on its bottom and set it on fire. A few seconds before complete combustion, the plate is brought to the wall (it is important that the light falls so that the shadow is as distinct as possible) and from the shadows that appear on it, you need to quickly begin to interpret their meaning.
Usually the fortuneteller himself understands everything, but it is worth understanding that the events shown can relate to different things: from the first letter of the groom’s name or his silhouette, to the method of acquaintance (both the future and what has already happened). It is important to listen to your heart, feelings and interpret as it seems right.
There is another type of fortune telling that requires the use of paper. On Christmas Eve, that is, before January 6th, you need to write different male names on small pieces of paper, the number is not limited, but within reason. The names can be either those men whom the girl personally knows, or others. Last names are not required. After this, all the names are placed under the pillow. On the morning of January 7, when you wake up, you need to take out from under your pillow the first piece of paper you come across. This is the name that the future husband will have.
Cards
This type of fortune telling is slightly different in meaning from the above. The point is not to find out who exactly the betrothed is, but how the object of love relates to the girl. It is important that the fortuneteller is not in a relationship with the person she is fortune-telling about, otherwise the meaning is lost.
For such fortune telling you need to take a regular deck playing cards, select all aces, kings, queens and jacks from it, and remove the rest. Write the name of the man you are interested in on a piece of paper in large letters with large intervals so that you can put a card under each one.
The 16 cards selected earlier must be laid out in a circle under each letter until the cards run out. That is, under each letter there should be several inverted cards. After this, the cards are removed from the last letter and the same thing is done, then from the penultimate one, and so on until there is a deck of 16 cards under the first letter.
Christmas fortune telling for your betrothed was once one of the most interesting events during the winter holidays. Most often, fortune telling was done together with girlfriends, but there are also fortune telling that should be done alone.

Christmas fortune telling for your betrothed with mirrors
Christmas fortune-telling for the betrothed, for which it is necessary to use a mirror, has always been considered the most dangerous and terrible. In order to see the reflection of your betrothed, you need to guess completely alone. This is done only in the dark, without electric lighting, by candlelight.
In the old days, they tried to do such fortune-telling in non-residential premises or in the attic of a house. It was believed that if instead of the betrothed one appears devilry, she can settle in the room in which they were telling fortunes about her betrothed with a mirror. By doing this in non-residential premises, our great-grandmothers tried to protect themselves from evil spirits.
The hair is let down, hairpins are not used, and the belt and jewelry are removed. A large number of buttons and fasteners on clothing can interfere with the free flow of energy that is necessary for fortune telling, so it is better to choose something without them.
The mirror should be thoroughly wiped in advance. It should be free from flaws such as bubbles, stains and distortion. Moreover, you cannot use a cracked mirror or its fragment. These usually start at midnight.
For the first option, your betrothed will need two mirrors, one of which should be smaller in size. You need to place it closer to you. Reflective surfaces should face each other, forming a mirror corridor. Place any candle between them and light it. Some sources advise placing two candles - one near each mirror.
My costumed betrothed, come to dinner with me!
Now peer deep into the mirror corridor. Sooner or later you will be able to see the face of your future husband. As soon as you manage to see him, say: “ Keep me away" Then he will disappear. If you do not interrupt the fortune-telling, the betrothed will be able to come out of the mirror and harm the fortune-teller.
If you don't have two mirrors, do it a little differently. They place a candle near one mirror and sit in front of it. A towel is placed nearby in advance. If the mirror begins to become covered with condensation or the reflection in it becomes cloudy, wipe it with a towel. This means that your future spouse will appear to you soon. With this method of fortune telling, he does not appear from the mirror, but approaches the fortune-telling girl from behind and is reflected in the mirror with her, but you cannot turn around and generally take your eyes off the mirror. When you look at your betrothed’s face, you must say, “Out of this place.” If he manages to get to the table, he will sit down next to you and put something on the table. This item can be taken away after the betrothed leaves.
Another Christmas fortune telling for marriage allows you to find out how many people will live in the house of your future husband. In the past it had great importance, because the young husband brought his wife to his home, to his family. Every future bride wanted to know how big this family was and how its members would treat her. You can tell fortunes about the number of relatives if a month is visible in the sky. To do this, take a mirror and place it so that the month is reflected in it, and look closely at its reflection. After some time, several reflections of the month will appear, and their number is equal to the number of relatives. If you see only one month, it means you will live alone with your husband.
Christmas fortune telling for your betrothed with water
By using ordinary water you can find out what it will look like future husband.. Sometimes a mirror is also used in these fortune tellings. Water should be poured into a transparent container without edges or patterns on the bottom. There are no special requirements for water; you can take water from the tap, but only in your home.

A mirror is placed on the table, water is placed in front of it, and candles are lit on three sides of the decanter. Look into the mirror through a container of water. When you're done, say: " Mind me, mind me».
Another option requires enough developed imagination. You need to take a glass without edges or patterns, pour water into it and lower the ring. You need to look inside the ring. It is believed that this way you can see the face of your betrothed.
Christmas fortune telling for marriage with an egg
To find out something about your future husband,... This method was very popular at girls' get-togethers. You can invite your girlfriends and find out your destiny together.
You need a glass of warm water and an egg. You should release the protein into the water and see what it looks like. Each region had its own interpretation of figures made from egg whites; in addition, this may depend on the attitude of the fortuneteller to the image, her age and many other factors.
For example, church for a young girl it is a sign of marriage this year, and for an older girl it is a sign of death. Interpretations ship also vary. For married woman this means the return of a husband or the wedding of a daughter or son; for a young girl, it foretells a sailor or foreigner husband.
If the egg white has not taken on any understandable form and sank to the bottom of the container, this is a very bad result of fortune telling. It is believed to foretell trouble, death or the fate of an old maid.
