After this, be sure to lay out the cards with your left hand so that the suit is not visible.
Make room for the cards that you will draw from the resulting semicircle. So, first, take three cards and ask yourself the question: “What and who will disappear from my life?”
Place the selected cards down as if at your feet, mentally imagining yourself to read the information more accurately.
Ask the following question:
"What and who will come into my life?"
Draw three cards and place them on top of the first three. On the left, place three more cards that are responsible for work and career growth; on your right, place three more cards that will tell you how you communicate with others.

Fortune telling for Christmas with a mirror by candlelight
Fortune telling by candlelight with mirrors is considered one of those fortune telling that tickles the nerves. Here you need to have a certain courage and bravery. After all, a fortune-telling girl must certainly be alone at midnight in a dark room, and what she sees can frighten an impressionable and fragile person. Outsiders are prohibited from being with the fortuneteller. (The ritual can also be performed in the bathroom).
So, you need to take two identical mirrors, the larger their size, the better. Then you need to install mirrors one opposite the other, place two burning candles on the sides of the mirrors.
It would be even better and more convenient to place a mirror opposite a mirror that hangs on the wall.
Then you need to hold the mirror in your hands in such a way that in its reflection a long corridor is formed, illuminated by lights from candles.
Please note that for such an experiment the mirrors must be perfectly clean. This way you can see the object clearly.
So, after you have correctly installed the mirrors one opposite the other, the girl should carefully and intently look into the mirror into the depths of the resulting corridor.
At the end of the gallery that appears, the fortuneteller must certainly see her betrothed. This can be an outline of a person as a whole or a detailed image. It is important to catch this shadow in time in the corridor that appears.
Therefore, carefully, without taking your eyes off, peer into the corridor formed by two mirrors, and you will definitely meet your eyes with the person who is destined for you by Fate.
Christmas fortune telling with a mirror and fir branches
This kind of fortune telling is best done during the holiday week.
By midnight you need to prepare a medium-sized mirror and several fir branches. Before going to bed, write on the mirror your most cherished desire or the name of the man you are thinking about.
Then place a mirror under the sofa or bed on which you sleep, scatter fir branches around it and calmly go to sleep.
In the morning, pull the mirror out from under the bed and look at it carefully. If there is no trace left of the inscription on the mirror, this means that your wish will probably come true, or you will soon get married to the person whose name you wrote on the mirror.
If the inscription remains, then your wish will not come true. But if the outline of a cross suddenly began to appear on the mirror, this is considered a bad sign for the person whose name was written the day before.
Christmas fortune telling on paper
You need to take a sheet of paper or newspaper. Then crumple the paper so that it becomes a shapeless mass. The main thing is that the shape does not resemble a ball.
Then place the resulting mass on the bottom of the plate and set it on fire with a match, not a lighter.
The burnt paper, carefully, without touching or destroying the form of the resulting ash, must be brought to the wall. Look carefully at the shadow formed on the wall.
The outline that has emerged will tell about the upcoming future or an important event. Perhaps it will be the image of a person you meet, or maybe the shadow will remind you of some significant object with which fate will somehow soon connect you.
Christmas fortune telling on a gold chain
So, no one should disturb the fortuneteller, so it is better to wait until everyone goes to bed and start this fortune-telling.

Look closely at the outline. The figure formed after the chain falls means the following:
Circle - perhaps difficulties await you in the near future. The circle symbolizes a vicious circle, from which, nevertheless, there is certainly a way out.
A straight line is a streak of luck, success and successful endeavors.
A figure in the form of a knot means troubles, illnesses, material losses.
The triangle is a great success on the love front, as well as in other areas.

Then turn the candle over so that the wax begins to drip into the bowl of water. Try to draw crosses and circles on the water three times.

Christmas fortune telling with millet
Fortune telling with grain or millet
For this interesting Christmas fortune-telling, you need to have a small basin on hand, as well as several types of cereal. It can be buckwheat, rice, millet, millet, oats.
You should pour it all into the prepared basin and mix the cereals. When the clock strikes midnight, proceed directly to the fortune telling itself.
Place your hand into the bowl and try to grab as much grain as possible into your fist. After this, you need to pour all the grain onto the table. Try to do this carefully so that the grain does not spill on the floor.
Pay attention to the color of the grain: if white color predominates, then the future husband will be blond, but if there is more dark color, then he will be brunette.
If the surface turns out to be flat, the husband will be poor, if with slides, the husband will be rich.
With the help of this fortune telling on grain, you can read the name of the future chosen one. All you need to do is look very carefully at the resulting outlines. Write down the letters you think you saw. Show your imagination and form the letters into a name or initials.
Christmas fortune telling
This simple but very interesting fortune telling requires only one thing: spending the night at home on a double bed. Fortune telling will allow you to get answers to important questions that interest you, as well as find out the name of your betrothed.
Before you go to bed, prepare a lot of finely chopped pieces of paper on which to write down men's names.
Then place the signed pieces of paper under the pillow next to yours, as if on the one on which your significant other sleeps.
Cut out the numbers 1 to 12 and place them under your pillow. Then go to sleep, mentally asking the angels to send your betrothed in a dream.
Be sure to remember the dreams that come to you on Christmas Eve. You may even see the person who is destined for you.
Try to remember the dream, because it is on Christmas Eve that prophetic dreams occur.
When you wake up in the morning, the first thing you do is put your hand next to your pillow and pull out a piece of paper. The piece of paper that you pull out will tell you the name of your future spouse.
But from under your pillow you must pull out the numbers several times to find out more detailed information about your chosen one.
The first drawn out number will show when (in how many months) you will meet your betrothed or in how many months you will get married (if you already have a boyfriend or fiance).
You can ask the second question as follows: is my fiancé blond or brunette?
If the second time you draw an even number, then he is blond, if you draw an odd number, he is brunette.
Third question: rich or poor? If the third time you draw an even number, he is rich, an odd number, he is poor.
Christmas fortune telling with needles
For this fortune telling you will need the following equipment: a bowl of water and several ordinary sewing needles.
The needles should be medium size. The needles can be replaced with ordinary pins with a ring.
Fortune telling is perfect if you are interested in a wedding issue or are concerned about how your relationship will develop further.
So, take 2 needles or pins of different sizes: the large needle will symbolize a man, the smaller one will symbolize a woman.
Then, both needles need to be generously greased (butter or rich cream for the face or hands).
Carefully place the needles one at a time into a bowl filled with water. If there is a “love triangle” in your life, take three needles accordingly.
Having mentally distributed the roles of each of the needles, one by one, lower them to the surface of the water.
Those needles that remain on the surface symbolize those people who will remain with you in the coming year. The same needles that immediately go to the bottom mean that the connection with those people will be severed in the new year.
If suddenly one of these needles ends in contact with another, this means an impending union, maybe even a wedding ceremony.
If the needles are connected along the entire length, this means that long-term labor cooperation and strong friendships await you with this person.
But the divergence of the ends of two needles in different directions is a harbinger that the connection will soon be broken.
Please note that if the needle that symbolizes your personality has sunk, it means that in the near future your thoughts will be occupied by new worries, displacing old worries and problems from your head.
Most likely, significant changes will come in your life. You will make a new circle of friends and acquaintances.
If all the needles go to the bottom, this means that you did not lubricate them thoroughly enough. Repeat the experiment.
Christmas fortune telling on a ring
For this fortune telling you need not one, but several rings, as well as grain. Prepare a gold ring with a stone, an ordinary non-precious one, a wooden one, a silver one, and finally a wedding ring. From your inventory you will need a basin and a thick red candle.
So, pour the millet into a basin and lay out the rings. If the fortuneteller is not alone, but is in the company of friends, then it is best to lay out several pairs of rings so that there are enough for all the fortuneteller girls.
Fortune tellers are blindfolded. Then each, in turn, must draw a ring from the grains.
Here's what each of the elongated rings means:
A ring with a stone promises a beautiful and successful life in the very near future.
A simple ring - you shouldn’t expect global changes in life, your life will flow slowly in your usual routine, without ups or downs.
A wooden ring means that your betrothed will be a poor man.
A silver ring indicates that someone loves you.
The wedding ring predicts your proposal and marriage this year.
A golden ring promises a heavenly and beautiful life.
Christmas fortune telling in the bathhouse
It is known that real Christmas fortune-telling in Rus' took place in the bathhouse.

Christmas fortune telling for children
Surely everyone has heard that fortune telling was allowed exclusively for unmarried girls. But if the lady was married, she could not guess.
But a little later, the ban on fortune telling for married women was slightly weakened, and they could also carry out fortune telling on something that was interesting to them. It is logical to assume that they were already interested in other predictions. In particular, many of them wanted to know how many children they would have, or what the family's financial well-being would be.
As a rule, on Christmas Eve they ask exactly these questions.
So, to find out how many children you will have, you need to sit on the floor in the bathhouse and say the following phrase:
“Bath forces, I’ll show you the parenting place, and I expect from you the number of children.”
After which, after you beat yourself well with brooms, you need to carefully count the leaves on your body from the bath broom, which will certainly remain on your back.
-If there are a lot of leaves, it means you are married. Moreover, most likely your family will become large.
- If there is one leaf, then you will have one child.
- If there are two leaves, then you will have two children (pay attention to their shade: if the leaves are different colors, this means that the children will be of different sexes).
-But if you find three leaves, this is a good sign that promises the fortuneteller not only three children, but also a happy marriage, as well as immeasurable love from her spouse.
Christmas fortune telling for money
As mentioned above, fortune telling in the bathhouse is considered the most accurate. Therefore, with the help of a bath broom you can also tell fortunes about money and financial well-being.
After you take a steam bath, you need to go outside, placing a broom on your right shoulder.
Then turn around to look at the position of the broom on your shoulder. If it is placed with leaves towards your face, it promises you wealth in marriage. If the leaves are directed to the right, then most of the money will go towards business development and other business endeavors. But if the leaves are directed to the left, then the money may go to your rival or go to the side.
If the leaves are directed upward, this means that, most likely, you will have a poor life or fate will send your spouse to a spendthrift.

- red. The wish will come true very soon;
- grey. The desire is stupid, therefore, most likely, it will not come true;
- yellow. The wish will come true in 2-3 months;
- black. The probability of fulfilling your wish is 50/50;
- violet. It will certainly come true;
- blue. Will not come true;

I sow and sow beauty
On a girl's braid.
Snowball, scatter,
Braid your hair!
I'll braid my hair,
I'll braid it in two,
Circle your head with your shoes!
Then they said: rich betrothed, step with your boot; poor betrothed - bast shoes! The next day they looked at the tracks and used them to judge the groom.
Fortune telling for Christmas in the mirror
The girls used mirrors to tell fortunes in the evening in the attic, with their hair down, surrounded by their closest friends, without belts. Removing the belt symbolized the readiness to enter into communication with evil spirits, because the belt has since ancient times been considered a talisman, an analogue of a protective circle. The bravest ones also took off their crosses. The place for fortune telling was also not chosen by chance: as you know, there are no icons in attics and baths. All strangers were removed from the premises, including domestic animals - birds, cats. Two mirrors were placed one opposite the other and illuminated from both sides with candles. The girl looked over one mirror into the depths of the other and saw a long corridor, illuminated by lights, stretching into the distance and gradually darkening. She said: “The betrothed-mummer! Come and have dinner with me!” Her friends were not supposed to look in the mirror and talk. The girl looked intently at the end of the corridor that appeared for a long time or briefly, and her betrothed appeared in the mirror... Having examined him, she said: “Forget me!” It was believed that if this was not said, the betrothed might come out of the mirror, and then a misfortune would occur (most likely, a severe nervous shock...).
They put a mirror on the table, a candle in front of it, the girl sat down at the table, I called: “Mummer, come to me for dinner!” Soon the mirror began to darken and the candle began to smoke. At this moment, the girl had to quickly wipe the mirror with a towel and look into it again: her betrothed would look at her from over her shoulder. Having admired the groom, the girl said: “Forget me!”, and the vision disappeared. Of course, anything could have been a dream. In the world of evil spirits, in which everything is turned inside out, a wedding was represented as a funeral, and the groom appeared in the form of a devil or a dead man.
The girl stood in front of the mirror so that she could see the month in it and looked at it intently. After a while, it began to seem to her that there were several months in the sky. Here she had to not get confused and quickly count how many there were. There will be exactly so many relatives in the house of the future husband...
Christmas fortune telling
- They went to eavesdrop on church singing: laudatory singing foreshadowed joy, nuptial singing foreshadowed a wedding, and funeral singing foreshadowed death.
Young people went under the windows of houses to eavesdrop on other people's conversations. Depending on what was talked about in the house, in what tone, who participated in the conversation, they made a conclusion about their fate.
The girl took a wreath, a piece of bread and a piece of wood, put these things in an empty pot, covered it with a towel, and then took out the first thing she came across, which indicated her destiny: the wreath - for the wedding, the bread - for girlhood for another year, the tree - for the wedding. of death.
Christmas fortune telling for your betrothed
- The girls went out into the street and called:
Bark, little dog, bark, little gray top!
Or like this:
Snowball, snowball,
Show me where the groom is!
To know in which direction the dog will bark -
My betrothed is waiting there!
Wherever the dog responds, go there and get married. The closer the barking, the closer to home you live.
The girls went out into the street and asked the first man they met what his name was. The groom of the girl for whom they wished will have the same name. If you ask a woman, you can find out the name of the mother-in-law.
They put a ring, a piece of bread and a hook on the table, covered it with a napkin and took it out - who would get what. The ring foreshadowed a handsome groom, the bread - a rich one, and the hook - poor and hunched over, “like a hook.”
The girls went to peep into other people's windows during dinner: if they sat quietly at the table, their husband's relatives would be good, if they laughed, they would be cheerful, if they talked loudly and friendly, they would be happy, if they fought, they would be angry. A rich table foreshadowed a prosperous life, a meager table - a poor one. Particular attention was paid to the man: if he drinks at that moment, the husband will be a drunkard; if I eat salt, he will be a good host, a hospitable man. When the heads of those dining are visible, it means that the relatives will live long and in good health, but if their faces are not visible, illness and quick death await them. It was especially scary to catch the very end of dinner: it foreshadowed imminent death for the peeper.
In complete darkness, at night, the girls walked to an abandoned closet, barn or storeroom, looked one by one through the keyhole and said: “Devils, devils, don’t hide it, show me your sweetheart!” The betrothed had to look at the girl from the depths of the closet.
The girls sculpted various figures from the bread left over from dinner, placed them outside the threshold and called the dog, offering it a treat. Whose figure the dog grabs first, that girl gets married. If she doesn't touch any of them, all the girls will have to stay at home, and the dog will most likely be in a lot of trouble...
Christmas fortune telling for wish fulfillment
They made a wish and called the cat from another room. If her right paw appears first, the wish will come true, if her left paw does not.
On New Year's Eve, they wrote their cherished wishes on pieces of paper, and at midnight, at the first strike of the clock, they burned them. If the piece of paper manages to burn before the last blow, the wish will come true.
On festive winter days, take your mind off negative thoughts and plunge into a joyful and mysterious world. Christmas fortune telling 2013 will give you a lot of positive emotions and indescribable sensations!
One of the most ideal times for fortune telling is Christmas night (from January 6 to 7). However, you can try to look into the future and find out the most correct answer at any time during the winter holidays, i.e. from 7 to 19 January.
“Borderline” or “unclean” places that connect the world of the living and the dead are excellent for fortune telling. Many go to find out their fate in a bathhouse, at crossroads, in the attic or in abandoned houses. You can arrange a place for divination in an apartment - corners, thresholds, and doors are most suitable.
1. Fortune telling from a book, TV or radio
One of the simplest fortune telling. To know the future, you need to focus and mentally ask what the future holds for you. Then you name the page of the book and the line number. Open and read. The read phrase will be the answer to a question or a magical prediction. It's the same with TV and radio. Choose a channel or frequency, turn it on, and the first phrases you hear will be prophetic for you.
2. Cards will tell you about your betrothed
Take a regular deck of cards, preferably a new one, so that you can play with it and not guess. Remove all the jacks and kings from the deck and shuffle them. Before going to bed, put the cards under your pillow and say the magic words: “My groom, dream about me in a dream and tell me about yourself.” Then go straight to bed and don't talk to anyone. In the morning, also silently, pull out the first card you come across from under the pillow. If it is a jack, the groom will be younger than you or the same age; the king is talking about a betrothed much older than you in age. Next, look at the suit of the card: hearts - the groom is very close, in the immediate environment; spades - the husband will be a very wealthy man; baptize - you will find your betrothed unexpectedly; tambourines - friends or relatives will introduce you to the groom.
3. Candle to help
Do you want to know what awaits you with your chosen one? Then during dinner, light a candle on the table next to him and watch its flame. An even and calm flame - to the same life together, love and serenity; flashes indicate that a man is hiding something; an incessant stream of wax can hint at tears and a difficult fate. If suddenly black smoke comes from the candle and a crackling sound is heard, then this is either an imminent separation, or your companion is experiencing a negative magical effect.
4. Gold will tell the truth
Fortune telling on a gold chain is simple and quite correct. At midnight, alone, take the chain in your hand, warm it until it becomes warm, then rub it between your palms. Mentally ask a question about what awaits in the future, transfer the chain to your right hand and throw it on a flat surface. Then look at what shape comes out of the chain, this will be a prediction. A straight line - luck and success in all endeavors; circle or oval - you may find yourself in a difficult situation from which it will not be easy to get out; one or more nodules - financial losses and illness; cloud - all dreams will come true; triangle - great love, luck; snake - betrayal; bow - wedding; the heart is a secret admirer.
5. Paper shadow
This fortune telling is also best done alone; you need a sheet of paper or newspaper, a candle and a plate. Crumple the leaf as chaotically as necessary. Then place the lump on a plate and light it with a candle. Before the paper is completely burned, carefully take the plate in your hands, bring it to the wall and peer into the shadow cast. In the outlines you can see signs of fate. If you yourself were unable to decipher what you saw, take the values from the previous fortune telling with the chain.
6. Wax and water
Prepare a candle, matches and a cup of water. Light the candle and wait for the wax to melt; you need about a tablespoon of liquid wax. Then pour it or scoop it into the water, trying to form a blot. When the wax hardens in water, look at it and try to decipher it. Flower - for a wedding or meeting with a loved one; cross - troubles and health problems; beast - a bad person will appear nearby; wax flowed in stripes - a long journey or move; stars - career growth; tree leaf - to financial well-being; egg - you are ripe for a new stage in life; human outlines - meet a true friend; mountain - obstacles will arise on the way to the goal; fish - to pregnancy or new acquaintances; bag - a gift or unexpected profit; individual wax drops - to prosperity.
7. Fortune telling for the company
Together, as you know, it’s more fun, so we’re telling you an option for a group. Take several items (whatever you have): a coin, a little salt, a ring, sugar, a key, a handkerchief, a passport, a driver’s license, a flash drive, a spoon... Then either hide each item in a separate glass/container/pot, or lay everything out on the table and cover handkerchief. Then leave the room one at a time, the rest chaotically move containers with objects or place them under a scarf on the table. Those entering select a container or touch with their hand the first object they come across under the scarf. Then we look at the value. A coin - for money, salt - for difficult trials, a scarf - for bitterness, sugar - for a carefree life, a ring - for a wedding, a key - for moving, can also be interpreted as your or your husband’s future profession: a coin - for a rich man, a passport - a lawyer , driver's license - driver, flash drive - programmer, spoon - cook, etc. Take different objects and use your imagination, or even better, use your sense of humor.
8. Mirrors and candles
At midnight, place two burning candles between two mirrors and peer into the corridor of mirrors that appears in the reflection. There should appear images that will predict fate. Those who are especially happy see the reflection of the future groom.
9. Find out the gender of the child
Take the ring and hang it on your hair, hold it over a container of water. If it starts moving in a circle, wait for a girl, just as a pendulum waits for a boy. A stationary ring may indicate childlessness.
10. Loves - does not love
Simple fortune telling, but be careful with matches. Place a match on both sides of the box, make a wish on one for your loved one, and on the other make a wish for yourself. Light the matches. Then look at the burnt heads, if they lean towards each other - you are destined to be together and love each other, if not, then no.
11. 7 cherished desires
Write seven cherished wishes on 7 pieces of paper and put them under your pillow on Christmas night. Don't talk to anyone after that and go to bed. In the morning, take out the first piece of paper you come across, this wish will come true for you this year. Some people pull out three pieces of paper.
12. Where is the groom from?
You can go outside and throw your boot over your back onto the road. Where he turns his toe, that’s where your betrothed lives.
13. Needles and love
Take two needles rubbed with lard and put them in water. If the needles have sunk, troubles and illness await; if they come together, they will get married; if they separate, there will still be a very long time before marriage.
14. On coffee grounds
Brew a cup of ground coffee, drink it, cover the cup with a saucer and tip it onto the saucer. Then lift up. Some of the coffee grounds will stick to its walls, and some will remain on the saucer. Guess by the signs and shadows of the coffee mass. Human shadow - date; buildings - wealth; earth and plants - discord, breakup, failure; animals - danger, bad news.
15. Basin and boat
Fill the basin with water. Write your wishes on strips of paper, bend the sheet and hang it on the sides of the basin. Attach a lit candle to half a walnut shell and launch the boat in the middle of the pelvis. Whatever wish he swims up to and sets fire to a leaf, it will come true. In the same way, you can tell fortunes about the name of your betrothed by writing men's names on pieces of paper.
