Christmas divination have long been considered the most truthful and effective. But you need to guess not on the holiday itself, but the day before it and throughout Christmas Eve, which ends on January 19. On the night of January 6-7, it seems that all the prohibitions are lifted, a powerful force rushes to the Earth, capable of giving people goodness, hope, love and happiness.

To tell fortunes on Christmas Eve, the girls let their hair down, let go of all bad thoughts, untied all the knots on their clothes, took off jewelry (especially a cross), and removed hairpins and hairpins. After that, you need to tune in exactly to those questions that interested them most and set about fortune-telling.

Christmas fortune-telling is still relevant to this day. Not far off, which means that it's time to think about how you can conduct mysterious rituals. The fortune-tellers had plenty of time to enjoy all this amazing process and look into their future.

Required rules for fortune telling:

1. The room that has been designated for fortune telling should be quiet. You should turn off the TV, radio, close the windows tightly so that no extraneous sounds interfere with the sacrament. Even talking is not recommended, otherwise the fortuneteller will be distracted and the thin thread of “contact” may break.
2. Crossing limbs has an extremely negative effect on the quality of the prediction. The communication channel is clogged and it is difficult for a fortuneteller to grasp the signs that are given to him by higher powers. Better to take a comfortable position that allows you to relax.

Christmas divination

There are many ways to conduct fortune-telling, each of them differs in complexity, a set of necessary items and the accuracy of prediction. In this article we will try to tell you about the most popular fortune-telling on Christmas Eve.

Fortune telling on a candle flame

This is a traditional fortune-telling, which is widely known among Russian women who are fond of such rituals. Before you start divination, you need to change clothes, wash and put on a clean outfit. Then, lighting a new candle, you need to think about the question of interest. The stronger the mental message, the clearer the answer can be. Now you should take a close look at the candle flame.

If the light is weak, but even, fate will be calm and joyful. An exuberant flame testifies to a tumultuous life filled with passion, energy and exciting adventures. If the candle burns dimly, it means that soon there will be an illness or some kind of failure. Black smoke from fire portends grief or death.

Divination by rice grains

For all those who do not want to experiment on candles, we suggest testing on rice grains. Pour the pure rice into a bowl, cover it with your left palm and make a wish. In the ear, you need to say the phrase: "Show me my fate, what to expect: good or bad?"

After that, turn the bowl onto a tablecloth, take a handful of grains and count them. An even number - a wish will come true, an odd number - the desired will not happen.

Fortune telling on fir branches

For a large company, this fortune-telling is perfect, which involves the use of coniferous branches. On Christmas Eve, you need to call all unmarried girlfriends and scatter branches on the floor in the room. Closing her eyes, each girl needs to choose a twig and examine it. Smooth bark marks a handsome and generous groom, rough bark shows that a reliable companion will meet on the way.

Strong bark on branches indicates a rich person, and peeled bark indicates a beggar. If the branch is thick, it means that on the way to meet a strong and confident man.

Fortune telling on wax

Melt the wax in a mug, and pour milk into a small plate. Put a mug and a plate near the threshold of the apartment and say the following words: "Brownie, home, come to eat wax and drink milk." Then pour the wax into the milk. If a clear cross has formed, something bad will happen in the near future, possibly a disease. A blurred cross promises financial problems.

A flower means a quick wedding, stripes - moving to a new place or a long journey. The outlines of the stars show that things will end well, and the human figure shows the appearance of a good friend in life.

Divination by the barking of dogs

This ritual is suitable if there is snow outside. You need to go outside at midnight with a knife and start cutting one of the snowdrifts. During this sentence: "Damn, damn, do not be silent, damn, damn, tell me what kind of husband I will have, cry or laugh?" As soon as the spell is cast, you should carefully listen to the barking of dogs. Angry and abrupt barking indicates that the husband will be angry and stern.

If the dogs are filled with cheerful barking, then the husband will be cheerful and good-natured. It is considered a bad sign to hear a dog's howl during fortune-telling - this means that the marriage will not be long.

Many would like to look into the future. What for? In order to predict what is hidden behind the veil of the unknown, and how to prepare for this very unknown.

Do you also want to know about the future, about what the year of the Rooster promises? Then we recommend that you devote Christmas night to fortune-telling. And to make it easier for you to choose the best way of fortune-telling for yourself, here is our short fortune telling rating for you to study. So, the most effective, curious and reliable Christmas fortune-telling in 2017.

On the betrothed with a shoe

Many young ladies are interested in the questions: when exactly they should expect matchmakers, and who will be the betrothed in the end. And if this primordially Russian fortune-telling does not help you to decide on the profession of your future spouse, then you will definitely be able to understand whether it is worth waiting for a wedding in the coming year.

So, all that is required to do for Fortune telling is to throw a boot or shoe out of the window of your house (if you do not live on the first or second floor, it is better to go down to the porch, so as not to harm anyone with your aiming throw). If the toe of your shoe points to the entrance to the house, then do not expect a wedding in the next 12 months. If the toe of a boot or shoe points in some other direction, then this year you will certainly meet your love, and it will come to you exactly from the side in which the nose of the shoe is directed.

On the betrothed with mirrors

Are you interested in divination for Christmas 2017 for your betrothed? Here's another great option that involves using two mirrors and one candle. Moreover, the peculiarity of this fortune-telling is that it will allow you to see the face of the future spouse, and this, you see, is so exciting.

So what do you need to do? And you will need to do the following: take a couple of mirrors and put them so that, looking at the surface in front of you, you can see your own back of the head. Take a candle, put out the light in the room, place a burning candle in front of you and carefully peer into the reflection. In it, you just should see your betrothed.

We immediately warn you that this fortune-telling for Christmas 2017 is better for a girl with strong nerves, because, peering into the reflection, you can feel fear in your soul. Therefore, if you are not ready to get really scared, then it is better to choose the method described above with a boot.

Simple fortune-telling with rice for a desire or a question

Above, we gave you two examples of divination by the betrothed, but what if you have found a spouse for a long time and are happy in a married marriage? For you, then we offer this simple fortune-telling to a question or a desire. All you need for it is some rice and perseverance.

Take a handful of rice in your right hand, cover it with your left hand and mentally make a wish. Visualize well or repeat your question a few times, then pour a handful of rice onto the table. And now you just need to calculate how many rice fell on the table. If the number of grains turned out to be even, then your wish will definitely come true, or the answer to the question asked to yourself is an unequivocal “Yes”. But if the number of grains is odd, then you should not wait for the fulfillment of your desire in the coming year. Also, the answer to the question you were asking is "No."

Fortune telling for Christmas in 2017 for the future with wax

Do you want to understand what awaits you in the next twelve months? What exactly should you prepare for? Then we strongly advise you to read fortunes with wax and a candle. Moreover, the special charm of this fortune-telling is that it is simply perfect even for a large and noisy company, gathered together at a magnificently set table. Moreover, it will be even more interesting to guess this way - you can all look at the bizarre wax figures and guess the silhouettes, trying to understand what they are. However, remember that the final decision as to what the wax figurine represents should be made by the person who created it.

So, all you need for such fortune-telling is several large cups, plates or bowls (according to the number of fortunetellers, you will pour wax into them), as well as candles (there can be one candle, and you will simply pass it to each other , or everyone may have their own).

And now we just turn off the light in the room and carefully pour the wax of the candle into the water, which you collect in advance in plates, bowls or large cups. Further, everything is even simpler - everyone must determine what kind of wax figure he has turned out, and find out about what awaits him in the coming year.

If it is a lane or several lanes, then a road awaits you. If this is a human figure, it means that a new person will appear nearby. If this is a flower, then it is worth waiting for a love relationship or even marriage. But the image of any animal is a reason to be wary, because such a sign usually indicates that they envy you, wish bad or want to harm you. The cross is a symbol of death, which means that it is also not very good to see such a picture. Well, the asterisk is, on the contrary, a very positive symbol that will promise you success in any endeavors.

Fortune telling for Christmas 2017 with a candle for an upcoming event

Do you have many different desires, plans for the coming year, and you are interested in which of them will definitely come true and which will not? Choose this method of fortune-telling. You will need a bowl or plate of water, a candle that can float, and small pieces of paper and a pen.

To begin with, on each piece of paper write what you have planned, wished for yourself for the next twelve months. For example, “birth of a child”, “buying an apartment”, “buying a car”, “new job”, etc. Fix each such leaf on the edge of a bowl of water, and then put a candle in a bowl and light it. Next, you will need to gently grasp the bowl with both hands and shake it slightly. Now just wait until your candle sticks to one of the "banks" with a piece of paper. We unfold the paper and carefully read about the event coming in the next twelve months.

Fortune-telling on Christmastide begins at night on January 6 and continues until Epiphany.

Fortune-telling (with burning a thread) for the speed and order of getting married

It consists in the fact that the girls cut the threads of the same length and set them on fire. Whoever's thread burns out in front, he will be the first to be married. If the thread went out immediately and less than half burned out, then you will not get married.

Fortune telling with a ring or a needle on the floor of the unborn child

Certain actions are performed with a ring or a needle (the ring is dipped into a glass of water, a woolen cloth is pierced with a needle), then, suspended by a thread or thread, it is slowly lowered near the hand of the one who is being guessed at. If the object (ring, needle) begins to make circular movements, a girl will be born (less often - a boy), if pendulum-like - a boy (less often - a girl), if the object does not move - there will be no children.

Fortune telling with a rooster (chicken)

Grain is poured into one plate (or money is put), water is poured into the other, a mirror is placed next to it, sometimes a chicken is brought. The rooster, who approached the mirror, symbolizes the beauty and tenderness of the future groom, who approached the grain or money - his wealth, to the water - a tendency to drunkenness, if the rooster approaches the hen, then the groom will be a "womanizer".

Fortune telling about the fate of the shadows

This type of fortune telling, due to its simplicity, is very common in the modern girlish environment. The girl sets fire to a sheet of paper she has crumpled, and then examines the shadow of the burnt paper. Everyone takes a blank sheet of paper, crumples it, places it on a platter or large flat plate, and sets it on fire. When the sheet burns out or almost burns out, with the help of a candle, it is displayed on the wall. Carefully examining the shadows, they try to find out the future.

Divination (by the barking of a dog) about the age of the groom

Fortune telling on wax

The wax is melted in a mug, milk is poured into a saucer and placed at the doorstep of an apartment or house. The following words are pronounced: "Brownie, my master, come under the threshold to drink milk, eat wax." With the last words, melted wax is poured into the milk. Then they carefully observe what is happening. If you see a frozen cross, then some illnesses await in the new year. If the cross only appears, then in the coming year your financial affairs will not go too well, and in your personal life troubles will prevail, but not too serious. If it blooms with a flower, there will be a wedding or a loved one will meet. If a beast appears, you have to be careful: some kind of enemy will appear.

If the squirrel sank to the bottom - to be in trouble in the house: fire, death, the girl does not get married.

Fortune telling in the logs

They come up to the woodpile with their backs and feel they choose a log for themselves. If it is even, smooth, without knots, the spouse will be caught with an ideal character. If the log is thick and heavy, the husband will be wealthy. If there are many knots, many children will be born in the family, and if the log is crooked, the husband will be scythe and lame.

Fortune telling with invoking spirits

For fortune-telling, you need a sheet of A2 paper and a porcelain saucer. Draw a circle with a diameter of about 30 cm on paper and write along the line outside the circle all the letters of the alphabet, and in the circle - the numbers from 0 to 9.

What do the figures formed from wax mean?

House - soon acquiring a new farm; for a girl, this is primarily due to her marriage.

The shapeless ruins are a misfortune in the near future.

A pit, a small cave or grotto is the most undesirable figure, since it symbolizes the burial place and predicts a serious illness or near death.

Trees - they can be interpreted in different ways: the branches of a tree directed upwards promise quick joy, drooping ones - sadness, longing and boredom.

A ring or a candle unambiguously predicts an imminent wedding.

A pancake that has settled to the bottom, on the contrary, promises a long girlhood.

Spiritual and personal development, a charge of motivation and good mood.

The most popular divination for Christmas 2017

In different regions of our country, different rituals are used for fortune-telling at Christmas, but there are several rituals that can be safely called universal. Of course, they can exist in different ways, but the essence is always the same.

Fortune telling on wax

For divination you will need:

• a bowl of cold water
• two candles (one must be wax),
• tablespoon,
• your ring without a stone,
• matches or a lighter.

Place the ring on the bottom of the bowl. Light both candles. Place a spoon over one, and hold the second candle - wax - over a spoon so that the wax will drip into it. Thanks to the candle under the spoon, the wax will remain liquid in it. While the candles are burning, say the following words: "Burn, burn, candle, drown, drown, wax, show me my future." Once the spoon is filled to the brim with wax, splash it into the bowl with a sharp motion and peer at the drawing that will turn out as soon as the wax hardens in the water.

If you see a flower, this year you will get married and meet a new lover. If you recognize a person's figure in wax, a new acquaintance awaits you - love or friendship. Wax stripes on the water mean a long journey or long journey awaits you. See the stars - success awaits you in any endeavors and deeds: work, study, new projects. If you recognize an animal in the wax - no matter which one - you should look around, most likely someone you know has bad intentions towards you. Perhaps for a more specific answer, you should repeat the fortune-telling or perform another ritual.

Fortune telling on cups for next year

Since usually these fortune-telling was done by a group of girls, for this you will also need a large company, namely seven girls.

Take seven identical cups, as well as a small onion, a handful of salt and sugar each, a ring without a stone, a coin of any denomination, but preferably yellow, a slice of bread. Divide these items into cups, and pour water into the last one. Close your eyes and each pick a cup for yourself. The contents of the cup will predict what the year will be like:

• a ring - to marriage - expect soon matchmakers or an offer from a young man,

Fortune-telling for Christmas for the betrothed

One of the most popular types of fortune telling among young girls is for the betrothed. It is always interesting to know what the future husband will be like, what his character and wealth will be. For this, girls use several types of different fortune-telling.

Fortune telling with shoes

Grab your boot or slipper and go out onto the front porch of the house. If you live in an apartment building, you'd better go out onto the front porch. You can also throw the boot out of the window, but only if you live in a private house or on the ground floor.

Look carefully where the toe of the shoe points: if at the entrance, the girl is unmarried all year round. But if the sock points in the other direction, wait for the matchmakers from there.

In the old days, this fortune-telling was considered the most truthful and was done on the night before Christmas 2017.

Divination with mirrors

This fortune-telling will require perseverance, concentration and patience from you, but as a result you will be able to see the face of your future husband.

You will need two mirrors and a wax candle.

Place one mirror behind your back and the other in front of your face. Looking into the first mirror, you should be able to see the back of your head. Turn off the light in the room, light a candle and place it in front of you, between you and the mirror. Look carefully at the reflecting surface of the mirror, it is in it that you will see your betrothed.

They say that during such fortune-telling, the spirit sends trials to the fortuneteller - sends fears, so he checks whether the girl is ready to see her fiancé. It is also believed that the girl will meet her future husband in the near future after the fortune-telling.

Divination by hair

If you don't want to waste time waiting and gazing at the mirrors, but you still want to find out what the groom will be like, use the following fortune-telling for Christmas 2017.

For Christmas Eve, collect hair of different colors from different men: brown-haired, blond, brunette, gray-haired. Take five pieces of paper, wrap the hairs in them, and leave the fifth in an empty envelope. They should all be the same. On Christmas Eve, put some envelopes under your pillow and go to bed.

In the morning, as soon as you wake up, stick your hand under the pillow and take out the leaflet. The color of the hair in the envelope will be the color of the hair of your betrothed. If you come across an empty envelope, it will be bald.

Divination in a dream

Another old fortune telling on Christmas night for the betrothed will help you see your groom, but only in a dream.

It also needs to be performed on Christmas Eve: let your hair down and take off all jewelry, go to bed, saying: "My betrothed, mummer, dream of me dressed up." In a dream, you should see a young man who will become your husband.

Another simple fortune-telling for a dream can be applied on this night.

You will need a jar of jam. Place it under the bed and say: "I have everything sweet!" You should also dream of your betrothed.

Often girls say that they did not see anyone in a dream, which means that their fate is hidden or the groom has to wait for a long time. Also, sleep is often forgotten in the morning, so that this does not happen, do not touch your hair immediately after waking up, until you remember the dream, do not look in the mirror or window.

Divination by beans

If you are anxious to know if your spouse is going to be rich, take three beans. Leave one as it is, clean the other completely, and the third to the middle. Wrap the beans in paper, making matching envelopes. Put them under your pillow and go to bed. In the morning, take out a folded piece of paper and see what kind of bean you got:

• whole in the skin - your chosen one will be a rich and wealthy man, you will not need anything,
• half in the skin - you will live in average income, but you can only dream of great wealth,
• naked beans indicate that you will live your life in poverty.

Christmas home fortune-telling at Christmas was usually performed by young unmarried girls, because there is such a wide variety of rituals in order to learn about the upcoming marriage and the appearance of the future groom. They also wondered about fate and the fulfillment of desires.

However, young men can also turn to Christmas time by using one of the above rituals, for example, with candles or with rice. But you can also see your future wife in a dream.

Fortune-telling for the betrothed for Christmas

A young man who wants to see his betrothed in a dream should put a comb under the pillow on the night of Christmas with the words: "Neighborhood-mummed, come to me, comb my hair." Of course, it is important to remember this dream and then get to know the girl, if she is not yet familiar.

The following ritual is also used: a comb and a mirror are placed under the pillow with the words: "Come comb my hair, see me, show yourself." The words are repeated three times.

On this night it is important not to talk to anyone, and in the morning not to look in the mirror and the window, not to grab your hair until you wake up completely, otherwise the dream will "go away" and you will not remember it.

Of course, today fortune telling at Christmas at home is more fun for girls than an important ceremony that predicts the future or tells about the groom. However, many are still convinced that on Christmastide days the line between the future and the present becomes thinner, which allows at least one eye to look behind the veil and receive advice, hint or warning. These days, fortune-telling is not only done in folk ways, but tarot is laid out, runes and gypsy cards are thrown. It is believed that Christmas Eve - January 6th - is the most auspicious day to look into the future and get a truthful answer. But whether to believe in what the signs will show is everyone's personal choice.
