Who hasn't wondered at least once? Who wasn’t interested in looking into the future, lifting the veil of secrets and mysteries? Today we will tell you how to tell fortunes on Christmas and Christmastide.
Having previously googled and asked our grandmothers, we armed ourselves with all sorts of “sacred” things to try out the ancient rites of fortune-telling.
Since ancient times, it has been customary to tell fortunes in January. Starting from Christmas Eve and ending with Epiphany, our ancestors asked the Christmas spirit about their future.
The most favorable time for fortune telling was considered Christmas Eve (before Christmas), Vasilievsky Evening (New Year's Eve, now falls on January 13) and Epiphany Evening (from January 18 to 19).
We chose Christmas Eve to look into our future. It is clear that we did not find a chicken and felt boots for fortune-telling, but candles, mirrors, water, basins - any modern girl has these items at hand.
So, we are sharing the most popular ways of predicting the future.
Fortune telling first. On wax
It is believed that fortune telling with wax is one of the most faithful and accurate. Not only village girls, but also ladies from high society used this method to tell fortunes. The purpose of fortune telling is to find out your future for the year, find out the nature of your relationship with your husband, and predict your fate.
How to guess
For this fortune telling, you need to prepare a bowl of water and melted wax. We used a paraffin candle.
There are two methods of fortune telling. You can light a wax candle over a bowl and simply drip the wax into the water. Or pour already prepared molten wax or paraffin into water. In the second case, the figure turns out to be more intricate.
The figures can be considered as separate predictions - on the principle that what I see is what will happen, or you can refer to the decoding of the meanings, which can be found at the bottom of the article.
Fortune telling second. In subjects for the future husband
Fortune telling by objects is one of the simplest and easiest fortune telling to perform. Various objects are laid out on the table, by which you can find out future profession husband. In the old days, bread meant a peasant, a book meant a priest, coal meant a blacksmith, and keys meant a merchant.
How to guess
Now they use modern things, but among them there must be a wedding ring, which means marriage, but who exactly the husband will be remains a mystery. Symbols of objects can be designated independently.
The girl is blindfolded and she chooses any of the objects lying on the table. Or the second option - the objects are covered with a scarf, and the one who is being told the fortune puts his hand on the covered object.

Item Meanings
Glass - will drink
Scissors - tailor, fashion designer
Engagement ring - get married
Ash is a worthless person
Tablet - doctor
Keys - with the apartment
Candle - electrician, priest
Flash drive - geek
Mirror - dandy (reveler)
Coin - generous, rich
Fortune telling third. Subjects for future life
Another variation of subject fortune telling. Only now the girl learns not about her husband’s fate, but about her own. Usually fortune tellers place objects in bowls or cups, then make their choice.
Item Meanings
Beads - to tears
Ring - get married
Threads - to the road
Coin - to wealth
Tablet - get sick
Empty glass - nothing will happen
Pacifier - to the child
Pen - to ease in solving problems
The key is to new housing
Fortune telling fourth. On the water about future life with a spouse
It's no secret that water has magical properties, healing and predictive power. Therefore, it is not surprising that water began to be used in predictions, fortune telling, and magical rituals.
One of the most popular and easy to perform fortune telling is fortune telling with glasses of water. This method allows you to find out how a girl will live with her future husband.
How to guess
You need to prepare 4 glasses of water. Put salt in one of the glasses, sugar in another, a wedding ring in the third, and leave the fourth glass with fresh water.
If a girl draws water with sugar, the relationship with her husband will be harmonious, “sweet,” warm and kind. Salty water- means an unsuccessful marriage, there will be a lot of quarrels, arguments and tears. Water with a ring means a quick marriage. A glass with plain water can indicate an empty short-term relationship or the absence of a relationship in the near future.
Fortune telling fifth. On the water about the future life
Most likely, this fortune telling was modernized at a later time, but my grandmother, born in 1911, along with fortune telling using a live chicken, with a felt boot on the gate, already used this method of predicting fate.
How to guess
You need to take a basin, fill it halfway with water, attach pieces of paper with a breakdown of events to the walls in a circle - wedding, pregnancy, theft, death, winning, career advancement, illness, money, etc. After this, take half of the shell walnut, in which a small candle is placed. And such a “boat” sinks into the middle of your pond with predictions. Wherever the shell floats is what we should expect next year.
There is another option for this kind of fortune-telling.
Papers with questions are placed at the bottom of a basin without water, then water is poured, whichever paper floats up will come true in the near future. At the same time, in order for fortune telling to have reliable magical power, 13 pieces of paper should be prepared.
Fortune telling sixth. On strings
Since ancient times, the thread was considered a talisman among the Slavs. Therefore, it is believed that fortune telling using threads is very powerful and truthful.
How to guess
Girls should take threads of the same length and set them on fire at the same time. Whoever's thread burns out the fastest will be the first to get married.
If the thread goes out immediately or burns out by less than half, it means that the girl either will not get married or will get married very late.
Another fortune telling with a thread. You need to take three steel needles, three threads - red, black and white flowers. Thread the threads into the needles and stick them into the pillow so that only the needles stick out. The needles should be inserted in a triangle. Then you should make a wish and pull out the needle. A needle with a red thread means that a wish will come true. With a black thread - it will not come true, with a white thread - it will come true partially, or not this year.
Seventh fortune telling. On the book
Previously, it was customary to tell fortunes using the Bible. Exactly at midnight it was necessary to open the Scripture and read the prediction. Now the Bible can be replaced with another book, while wishing for a specific page, line or paragraph. Interesting fortune telling is obtained if you use the “Rubai” of Omar Khayyam or any quotation book. We had in our hands “The Alchemist” by Coelho, in which we read: “They don’t drink wine in this country,” he answered. “Faith does not allow.” We were a little upset.
Fortune telling eighth. With mirrors
Fortune telling on mirrors is considered scary and dangerous. The thing is that a mirror in many cultures is a devilish gift and has the property of reflecting not only the physical world, but also the other world.
How to guess
At midnight, place two mirrors opposite each other and light candles. With the correct arrangement of mirrors, a mirror corridor is formed. You should say the spell: “Betrothed, dressed up, come to me dressed up.” Then you need to concentrate and look intently into the corridor. After some time, the figure of the future husband may appear in the depths. If you see some scary figures or feel discomfort, you should say “Cheer me!”, this will drive you away. evil spirits back to where she came from.

Everyone has a desire to look into the future: get answers to questions, help make an important decision, find out the name of your betrothed - fortune telling will help with all this. It is not necessary to go to a gypsy or a psychic for this; you can perform the ritual at home, you just need to meet some conditions. Let's talk about Christmas fortune telling at home.
How and when to guess correctly
The most important thing in fortune telling is time. In Rus', it is traditional to look behind the veil of the future during the winter holidays and Christmas - from January 7 to 19. Christmas spirits are most willing to answer people’s questions on Christmas Eve – from January 6 to 7. At this time, predictions will be most accurate. After the bright holiday of Epiphany, spirits and evil spirits will hide again, and the chance to get true prediction will come to naught.
Places that are considered “unclean” are ideal for fortune telling - they should be at the junction of the world of the dead and the living. In Rus', fortune tellers went for the ritual to a bathhouse, to an attic, to houses abandoned by their owners, to crossroads; especially the brave ones decided to perform divination within the confines of a cemetery. Inside an apartment, the most suitable places for fortune telling are corners, thresholds, doors - places where matter passes from one space to another. It is necessary that the room where they tell fortunes is as quiet as possible. The portal to the world of spirits is mirrors and water (when telling fortunes, you can place a bowl of water next to it or tell fortunes on coffee grounds).
Rules for fortune tellers
- There should be no cross, knots, belt or bracelets on the body - they get in the way otherworldly forces read fate.
- Hair should be loosened; flowing curls will provide a better connection with higher powers and protect from negative energy.
- During fortune telling, the arms and legs should be parallel to the body - do not cross them so as not to obstruct the path of energy flows.
- Icons and other church paraphernalia need to be removed from the premises; fortune telling is an appeal to dark forces.
- Only candles should illuminate the room.

At midnight you need to go out into the open space under the starry sky and say your cherished dream out loud - the universe will definitely hear it. If you already have everything in life, the only thing missing is a lover, on January 7 you need to come to the church and walk around it with prayers 3 times. This will remove the stamp of loneliness that darkens life.
