Fortune telling but old new year. Guessing with mirrors
Another holiday is approaching, which has been celebrated in our country for a long time and on a grand scale - the Old New Year. And how can we not remember on this occasion about fortune-telling at Christmas time? After all, this is part of our culture, and the desire to look at least a little into our future
The celebration of the Old New Year, firstly, is firmly intertwined with the fact that the New Year according to the old style comes exactly on January 14, and secondly, it goes deep historically: after all, the Old New Year coincides with Basil's Day, when the Christmas holidays continue.
On the eve of the holiday, January 13, it was customary to be generous - to go from house to house singing generous songs, wishing the owners well-being and happiness in the New Year, and also that evening young girls told fortunes.
Today I will talk about fortune telling for the Old New Year, which I personally tested, were carried out repeatedly, and - you can believe it, you can not believe it and laugh - mystically came true or correctly predicted the future.
So, here they are - fortune telling for Christmas time. Try it, what if they give you a hint or tell you something?
The betrothed will give water to drink from the well
Similar fortune-telling was done with girlfriends while still in high school. Youth, longing, the desire to find out: what if this same boy really likes me?..
By the way, a little later, my acquaintances and girlfriends were repeatedly given water to drink by the very young men with whom fate later brought them together. Some people came out very unexpected. But, nevertheless, it’s difficult to argue with the facts!
In the dead of night, just before going to bed, you need to build a well of matches under your bed. The procedure is simple, however, it requires some patience, attention and concentration.
The ritual is performed with a lit candle (no electric light!). Everything must be done silently and quietly.
You get down on your knees and cast a spell, placing one match on top of another until you get a well like this:
A glass of water is placed next to it (similar to a bucket). After this, you need to go to bed and say mentally: “Betrothed, give me some water to drink.”
It is very important not to do any other actions (undress, go to the toilet, comb your hair, talk). All these needs must be done before fortune telling begins.
If at night you dream of someone who will give you water to drink (it doesn’t matter whether from a well or from a cup), then he is your one and only.
If you don’t dream about it, it means you won’t find a mate this year. If you dream of a stranger or can’t see their faces, you’ll definitely have a new admirer :)
Bible Prediction
Very interesting fortune telling, and the wise book seems to know what you need to say.
For fortune telling, you can get together with a friendly company (men can also participate in this).
A candle or several candles are lit on the table. The Bible is picked up one by one. All fortune tellers need to do only one action: open the book on a random page and, without looking, point your finger at any line and read it out loud.
The book is passed around. Can go around the circle three times, but no more. Your task is to remember what the wise words say. Even if right now you don’t understand the meaning of what you read, believe me, later, you will definitely have a situation that is consonant with what you allegedly read by accident.
Everything is not fulfilled verbatim, of course. But the general meaning of the situations is very symbolic.
I’ll be honest: I’ve only participated in such fortune-telling a couple of times. Almost everything I read came true. But it's so strong emotional at times I was shocked (after all, you never know in advance what you will read - there are also not very good things), that in the future I was careful not to guess using the Bible.
Shadow divination
I became acquainted with this fortune-telling when I was a student. I really liked it, and we performed a similar ritual every year.
The girls are gathering. Fortune telling takes place in twilight, it is better to conduct it closer to midnight and with lit candles.
Each girl crumples a white sheet of paper in her hands. As he sees fit - strongly or not very much. One hand or two.
Then the crumpled leaf is placed on a saucer and set on fire. In this case, the flaming “torch” needs to be brought to a white wall (we had wallpaper, so we either hung the wall with a white sheet or white paper - the second option is better and safer).
Then you need to carefully look at the dancing shadows, peer into them and see a specific symbol. You can make assumptions to all girls, but it’s better if you see the symbol yourself.
For example, I remember very well when I saw an open book - I had to study and read a lot all year. My friend saw a baby stroller. At that moment she even young man it wasn’t, however, within a year she got married, and by the end she gave birth to a baby :).
Let's pour wax - predict fate
Pouring wax for fortune telling is a traditional activity. For fortune telling you need a piece of wax or wax candles.
The wax melts and the fortune tellers pour into cold water. Symbolic figures are sure to predict something for you for the coming year.
Wax with threads - travel or roads await you.
The wax curls into round drops of coins - the year will be financially profitable.
Wax forms a cross - to illnesses of you or your loved ones.
The result is a face - marriage is possible this year or a groom will appear.
Asterisks - to success or good luck.
A month of reflection and expectation.
Often it is not always possible to correctly interpret what will come out of the wax. But fortune telling itself is very emotional and exciting. That's why girls love him so much at all times.
Boot over the threshold
Very simple, but in my practice – effective fortune telling. Usually carried out among girls of marriageable age.
We wondered this way more than once as students. Several girls-girlfriends gather in a room (or apartment), each taking her own shoes in her hands. Since January is winter, we took boots. They crowded against the wall that led to the doors (although this is not essential, there must be a wall from which to count). They were determined in order. We simply shouted: “first boot!”, “second boot!” and so on.
And whose boot crosses the threshold of the house first - that girl will get married.
When my boot crossed the threshold, I laughed so hard that I even fell on the floor. At the beginning of the year, I didn’t even have a potential groom. And the girls already had permanent boyfriends.
However, a month later I met my future husband and got married in the summer. Let it be a coincidence, but a year before this, a similar thing happened to another friend of ours: her boot was the first to step on, and in the summer she got married.
Unfortunately, I no longer had to participate in such fortune-telling: firstly, I became a married lady, and secondly, my student years were over :)
What fate awaits your baby or who will your future husband be?
Fortune telling is also a traditional one. People usually wonder about their future husband: what will he be like? Put on a tray various items: a piece of bread, a glass, a coin (iron ruble), a mirror, a coal, and so on.
The tray is covered with a clean towel (preferably linen).
The girls take turns walking up to the tray, putting their hand under the towel and randomly pulling out an object.
Bread - the husband will be hard-working, a mirror - written with beauties, a coin - rich, a glass - a drunkard, coal - poor.
You can modernize this fortune telling by adding other items to the tray: a pen, a notepad, a string, some part from a computer (for example, a USB cord). A pen is a writer, a notepad is a businessman, a string is a musician, a cord is a computer scientist.
Using exactly the same scheme, you can guess about your child’s choice of profession. Such fortune-telling is usually carried out with children one or two years old only once.
The principle is the same. Only the item should be reached by your child. My son, for example, did not stand on ceremony - he pulled out several objects at once. In general, the boy turned out to be talented, you already understood 🙂 But most of all he was interested in the pen. Looking forward to becoming a writer :).
Fortune telling using dumplings or what year the year will be
I really like this kind of fortune telling. It's more fun than globally significant. They are preparing for the Old New Year. And some of them come with a surprise. We usually put a coin, salt, sugar, pepper, a handful of rice, peas, a piece walnut. Wedding ring never put it down. But some people do this too.
If you come across a sweet dumpling, the year will be good, fruitful, joyful.
If you come across a salty one, tears and tests of strength await.
Dumplings with rice - to prosperity, good harvests, addition to the family.
Dumplings with peas - get ready to travel and travel. Or even move.
A walnut crunches in your teeth - the year will be financial and rich. Perhaps a rich groom will appear (it depends on who gets the nut).
If a coin hits your teeth, you won’t have time to count the money :). Just bags.
It is clear that any fortune telling is a delicate and subjective matter. And you don’t have to put your whole soul into it and believe unconditionally in any symbol. It's more of a way to socialize and have fun. And accept all the good things that fortune telling for the New Year brings.
Happy holidays to you!

Fortune telling for the Old New Year at will
a powerful time filled with witchcraft and miracles. But there is a special, very interesting period when all the rituals and fortune-telling come true. It’s as if heaven had specially set aside this time to find out your future and conjure happiness, this is the old New Year. Rituals for money at this time are most powerful.
This wonderful holiday appeared relatively recently after the well-known calendar reform. But the time itself between Christmas and Epiphany has always been considered especially magically powerful. As a rule, fortune telling at this time had enormous power. And if you carry out a ritual to solve your aspirations, then it will definitely come true.
For some reason, it is the old New Year that is considered the most strong time to perform the ritual. Especially on the eve of the Generous Evening, it is customary to cast a spell so that next year lived a satisfying and prosperous life. Fortune telling and rituals for wealth are carried out all night.
In the late afternoon, a festive table is traditionally prepared. Moreover, the meal for the old New Year should be distinguished by all possible luxury and delicacies.
Sign! The richness of the festive dinner for the old New Year is the key to prosperity in the family next year.
On this evening, it was customary to go from house to house and bless the owners of the house with ancient Slavic songs. The meaning is to encode the aura of the house and its owners for success, health and money.
“Shchedrik-Petrik, give me the dumplings!”
A spoonful of porridge, top with sausages.
That's not enough, give me a piece of bacon!
Take it out quickly, don’t freeze the children!
The sparrow flies, twirls its tail,
And you people, know this - cover the tables,
Receive guests, welcome happiness into your home!
The hosts, in turn, must show reciprocal hospitality and generously treat their guests. So with fun and treats they move from one house to another. On the way, they most often carry out fortune-telling about their fate, well-being or marriage. On the old New Year, everyone has fun, casts spells - a wonderful time when even witchcraft is not condemned and is not recorded as a sin.
Another ritual of the Old Church Slavonic tradition, when a guest brought wishes and spells of wealth to the owners and home into the house. This action remained the same in many regions, but acquired the meaning of ordinary entertainment for the old New Year. But in fact, this is a witchcraft ritual that can spell your home for luck and prosperity next year.
- Important! Sowing is carried out exclusively by men. This ritual is associated with the theme of fertility, when a man, scattering a seed, fertilizes. That is, it provides a guarantee for the enrichment and productivity of your farm.
- To carry out the ritual, only those grains that are capable of germination are taken: wheat, oats, sunflower, etc.
- Never use processed grains! Over time, the ritual lost its original meaning and they began to use any cereal from their reserves. But this is a wrong approach. The use of dead grains that are unable to germinate codes the house for poverty and misery.
So! On the old New Year, men take grains and go around the houses of everyone they know and wish for wealth. Scattering generous handfuls of the prepared grain mixture, they pronounce the words of the Slavic conspiracy.
“We sow, we weed, we sow,
We wish you all good things in your home.
We wish the old fashioned way
Fertility - to the cattle,
A warm booth for a little dog,
Saucers of milk for a kitten,
A handful of wheat for a cockerel,
Red girl - friend,
Small children - mom and dad,
Grandmother - small grandchildren!
We sow, we weed, we sow,
We bless the house with goodness.”
The owners should be as hospitable as possible; with this man the spirit of Slavic ancestors came to their house. The guest must be treated and given a ransom - as you are generous, so in return you will be given graces.
In addition to these rituals, you can perform a lot more, if only you have imagination and desire.
Fortune telling for next year's wealth
In addition to any rituals related to increasing wealth, it is also customary to conduct various fortune-telling this evening and night. To understand what to do next year and plan some things in connection with this, you can carry out a number of simple manipulations. What’s interesting is that on this night all fortune-telling has high degree reliability.
Option #1
They generously take all kinds of food, pies, snacks and go out into the street in a crowd. You need to say the words of the conspiracy and go for a walk. Everyone you meet needs to be treated and welcomed - this is also a kind of ritual of attracting wealth.
“Lord, tell me - to riches or to poor? Send your sign, reveal the secret!”
- If you meet a man, next year your affairs will be rich and successful.
- In the case when a lonely woman is met, the prospect is not the best. Therefore, that evening the women tried not to walk alone, realizing that they would become a problem for others.
Option No. 2
They poured various scraps from the table into a sieve. Going out onto the porch, it was necessary to say the words of the conspiracy. And then throw the scraps out in front of the porch. It was believed that in this way you would feed the hungry devils part of the holiday meal and, in gratitude, they would not harm you next year.
“I fill the devil’s belly, I treat him from my table. Eat and be kind to me in return!”
Waking up in the morning, they look out from the porch at the scattered scraps. If at least half of the scraps have disappeared, it means that otherworldly forces have accepted your sacrifice and are ready to make concessions - not to harm you. However, if all the scraps remain in place, then this is not a very good sign.
Cunning! When conducting fortune-telling, they tried to lure the dogs so that they would eat these scraps.
