NEW YEAR'S GUIDANCE:
On December 31st you can plan your summer vacation. To do this, take an onion and divide it into twelve parts: you will get onion slices that look like small cups. Place these “cups” in a row on the window and sprinkle them with salt. In the morning, look in which “cup” the salt is the most wet - this way you will understand which month in the coming year will be rainy and when you should not take a vacation - of course, if you are afraid of rain. The fact is that each such onion “cup” symbolizes one of the twelve months.
You can predict the future right at the New Year's table. To do this, pour water into a small bowl and read the following plot over it:
You, water, don’t make noise, don’t be whimsical, don’t rattle,
Don't go overboard,
And as it is, keep the New Year,
Tell me about the future!
Then place this bowl in a cold place (freezer, balcony, etc.). In the morning, look what happened: if the ice went hump - there will be a good year, the ice froze evenly - your life will be smooth, that is, happy, it rose in lumps - there will be both grief and happiness, but if a hole appears on the surface of the ice - a year will be unsuccessful, flawed.
IN New Year's Eve you can find out whether your cherished desire will come true. To do this, take a deck of thirty-six cards, shuffle and arrange them into four equal piles. Place the cards face down. Remove cards from the first pile until an ace appears; they should be put aside. If you then open the ace again, then put it aside with the first one and open the next card. So check all the cards, putting aside the unnecessary ones.
Your task is to find aces in the pile, one after the other. Let's say you get an ace, followed by another card, and then an ace again. You only need the first ace. All other cards and the aces following it are sent to the bat, that is, they are put aside and no longer participate in fortune telling. Once you've sorted through the first stack, immediately look through the others. As a result, you may end up with four, three, two or one ace in your hand. The wish made will quickly come true for the one who got all four aces. Three aces foretell a fairly quick fulfillment of a wish, two aces - everything will happen oh so soon, and one ace - alas, but you need to give up all hopes: the desire will not come true.
Fortune telling with matches. Pour water into a large transparent bowl and place it on the table. Take a new box of matches, place candles on both sides of the vase and light them. Place the icon in front of the vase, sit opposite it and quickly ask the question that is more important to you than all the others. First, remove the match from the box, light it and, when you ask a question, hold it over the center of the bowl, without touching the water. When the match burns out, throw it into the center of the vase and see what happens to it. If a match breaks in two, one part of it sinks, and the second remains on the surface, you will get sick (this is if you were interested in your health). If the match is intact and floats on the surface, there will be no health problems. If the match drowns, then nothing good can be expected and your wish will not come true.
Fortune telling by beans. You just need to know that the black color in this fortune-telling symbolizes bad, negative events, white - favorable circumstances, variegated beans - the middle in half, you will have everything: both good and bad. Take a canvas bag and put thirty beans (beans) in it: ten black, ten white and ten variegated. Mix them with your hand, take out ten pieces at random and place them in one line. The combination of colors and the number of beans of the same color makes a prediction.
You can make a bridge out of twigs and put it under your pillow, saying before going to bed:
Who is my betrothed?
Who is my mummer
He will take me across the bridge!
After this, you should dream about your future groom.
You can see the groom not only in a dream. Pour water into a cup and add salt and ash. Place the cup on the window and say:
Drink water, add salt,
For the ashes to burn, but for me to watch the groom.
At the same time, carefully look at the surface of the water. If you are destined to get married, then you will definitely see your betrothed.
In a dream on New Year's Eve, you can see the place where a previously lost item is located. To do this, take a glass of water, place two forks in it, tines up, and place it all under the bed. Then in a dream you will see a hint.
To get to know a person you like better, but you haven’t known each other for long, do the following. Have a candlelit dinner and watch the candle burn on the side where the person you like is sitting. If the fire is calm and even, then this man shares your thoughts and feelings. If the wax slowly flows into the candlestick, then this is the first sign that something is not going well in life for the person sitting opposite you, his soul is suffering and crying. If your guest is telling a lie, the candle will burn out on one side. If it smokes, crackles or has darkened, this person has damage or has evil, dark thoughts.
With the help of candles, not only fortune telling is carried out, but also various ceremonies and rituals are carried out. For example, make a wish and take a white candle. You can also take colored candles: green will symbolize a dream, pink - love, lilac - beautiful life, with the help of yellow you can pacify jealousy, and with the help of red you can return love. Write your wish on a piece of paper. Place this piece of paper under the candlestick. Lubricate the candle with aromatic oil, gently and gently stroking it and thinking about your desire. Then place the candle in the candlestick and light it. Sit comfortably and look at the fire, but not at the center of the flame, but slightly above or to the sides. Focus on your desire for your energy to merge with the energy of the fire.
If you get tired, it means it’s time to complete the ritual. Mentally repeat the wish again and burn the piece of paper. Throw the ashes out the window into the wind.
To find out what awaits you in the coming year, take church candles and melt them. Pour milk into a saucer and place it on the threshold with the words:
Brownie, my master,
Come to the threshold to drink milk,
Eat wax.
Pour wax into the milk and see what shape it takes: a frozen cross - some kind of illness awaits you. If the cross only appears and then blurs, your financial situation will not be very good, and minor troubles await you in your personal life. If wax spills into a flower, get married, get married, find a new pleasant partner. If an animal appears, caution is required: you will have an enemy. If the wax spreads in stripes, you will have to travel a lot. If the wax takes the shape of stars, there will be good luck. If a human figure is clearly visible, a new friend will appear.
Find out on New Year's Eve whether your wish will come true. To do this, cut two identical squares from a sheet of paper. Cross one. Then throw both squares out of the window and see which one fell first. If it is clean, the wish will come true, if crossed out, it will not. If you live too high up or are unsure of your visual acuity, you can throw squares down by simply standing on something elevated, such as a folding ladder.
Fill a large bowl with water and whisper your wish over it. Then throw a small pebble into the water and count the number of circles on the surface. If they even number, then the answer is positive, if not even - negative.
For New Year's dinner, cook chicken. When you eat it, put the bones on a piece of red cloth and hide it somewhere outside the house, without burying it in the ground. At the same time say:
What was in the egg
What came out of the egg
What was walking around the yard
And the millet pecked,
The one whose head was cut off
And cooked it with noodles,
What I enjoyed
Whose bones from the flesh I removed,
Tell:
Be my wish
To be implemented or not?
What originated in the egg?
Give me your answer tomorrow.
In the morning, find a rag with bones and see what happened to them. If there are no bones, the wish will not come true. If they are covered with snow, you need to abandon your plan before it’s too late. If almost all the bones are in place, but one or more lie to the side, your business will go well at first, and then get upset. If nothing happened to the bones, everything will be as you planned.
Leave a handful of millet, flour and buckwheat in the corner overnight. If the next morning it turns out that millet has crumbled, trouble awaits you; if it is buckwheat, there will be both good and bad, and crumbled flour promises you profit. If all three handfuls turn out to be intact, the situation will not change.
You can also tell fortunes on the street on this day. Spin the fortuneteller with eyes closed, until he loses his orientation in space, and then shout: “Stop!” After this, ask the fortuneteller to look at the month. If the fortuneteller turns his right side towards the month, then the person will be rich; if left - poor; if his back is turned, he will worry, but he won’t have to rely on someone else’s help; face is a warning: you cannot be so gullible.
You can ask about possible luck in this way. Place on the table rings made of gold, silver, base metal and one with semiprecious stone. Blindfold the fortuneteller and spin him around, and then offer to take the ring that comes to his hand first. If you took Golden ring- if he is rich, silver - there will be profit, metal - everything will remain unchanged, with stone - losses await.
Write some amounts of money on a piece of paper (at least three). One should be ridiculously small, one should be medium, one should be large, etc. Or draw a picture of what you want to buy. Then light the sheet and throw it on the tray. A drawing or a sum of money that can be discerned on the burnt paper will represent your future. If the entire sheet burns, you won’t get anything at all, so it’s better to put out the fire yourself.
Ask yourself some question about luck, profit or career. Turn on the TV: the first three words you hear will answer your questions. This way you will know what you can expect in the new year.
Place two mobile phones, a cordless phone and a spoon on the table away from each other. Blindfold the fortuneteller (usually an accountant or economist by profession) and ask him to randomly take an object from the table. If a person stumbles upon a spoon - bad: there will be problems with tax authorities; on a radiotelephone - competitors are watching you, perhaps they are even listening to your phone; on mobile phone- everything will remain the same. But if a person does not stumble upon a single object, great luck awaits him in the coming year.
A collection of fortune telling and wish fulfillment for the New Year: for money, for luck, for love, for a betrothed and much more.
If you want to know what the future awaits you in the new year, then instead of clinking a glass of champagne loudly and devouring delicious food from the festive table, you will have to go outside with a mirror, which you will first douse with water. It is necessary to go out into the cold strictly at midnight. You need to wait until the water on the mirror turns into a frozen pattern, after which you can return home and examine what happened.
- If the ice lies on the surface of the mirror in circles, this indicates that you will not be in financial need.
- A pattern in the form of squares promises an abundance of all kinds of difficulties.
- Triangles indicate that you will be Fortune's favorite in whatever you undertake.
- The paws of a spruce or pine tree portend hard work.
- Straight, clear lines indicate that your existence in the coming year will be calm and problem-free.
- Smooth, curving lines promise that you will be caressed by the warmth and good attitude of people towards you.
- A surface covered with icy zigzags communicates that loneliness and emotional hunger are not clearly in danger of you.
- The abundance of dots means that all started tasks will be successfully completed.
- If you see the outlines of a face or figure, then thanks to the appearance of a new person in your life, a lot will change in it.
- Chaotic various divorces have appeared - this means that your fate is not yet clearly defined, you will create it yourself step by step.
Set aside a little time for fortune telling on New Year's Eve - as much as is enough to write your best wishes on small pieces of paper. cherished desires.
After the papers are signed, they need to be folded and placed under the pillow. On January 1, after waking up, your first action should be to remove one of them from under your pillow. What is written on this piece of paper is most likely to come true in the new year, or, in any case, the chances of its implementation will be the highest.
For the climax of the New Year, you need to prepare not only champagne, but also a tiny piece of paper. You need to write a wish on it, then burn a piece, and pour the remaining ashes into a glass of champagne. Sparkling wine is drunk along with the ashes while the chimes are striking. The point is that all manipulations - from writing a wish to absorbing the contents of a glass - must be carried out while the clock on the Spasskaya Tower is striking. If you have time, it is believed that this guarantees the fulfillment of your desire; if not, you will have to wait.
There is a second option for such fortune telling, which requires less skill. It involves a little preliminary preparation. At exactly 11 o'clock in the evening, take a piece of paper and write your deepest desire on it. In an hour, the first chime will be the signal to set the leaf on fire. If by the time the last blow sounds it burns completely, this means that you can count on your wish being granted.
You can also tell fortunes about the future using wax. The wax needs to be melted over a fire. Pour milk into a plate and place it at the entrance of the apartment. Address the brownie: “Brownie, good spirit, come here to drink milk and taste the wax,” and pour the wax into the milk. Take a closer look: the pattern formed by the wax in the milk will be a prediction.
If the wax hardens into the shape of a cross, New Year will bring you new diseases. If a flower forms, either a wedding or a meeting with a new friend is close. If you see an animal, you will travel a lot, go on business. Wax stars on milk mean luck and success at work or in school.
This fortune telling with candles is a whole ritual, which takes several days to prepare for. It is better to choose the winter time for it, New Year or Christmastide. Buy three candles in the church, and type in the source clean water, which should sit at the head of your bed for three or four days. When this period passes, start guessing. Wait until midnight, clear the table. Place three candles on it in the shape of a triangle, between them, in the center, place a decanter with spring water. Place a mirror behind the decanter so that one of the candles illuminates it. You should see a mirror through the water in the decanter. When you have everything ready, relax and concentrate on your question. Peer into the water until you see some picture that will be the answer.
Perhaps the simplest New Year's fortune telling for your future husband. Naturally, fortune telling is carried out in winter. Fortune telling girl takes off her pectoral cross, belt, undoes the braid, if there is one. During fortune telling, you should not cross your arms or legs. The girl goes outside and lies down in a snowdrift. Then he gets up and quickly leaves without looking back. Only in the morning can you look at the trail: jagged snow at the place of fortune telling means a rude and cruel husband, soft and smooth snow - on the contrary, a kind and loving husband. A deep mark marks several marriages, and if there is none left at all, the girl will not get married soon. If there is snow on a hill - the fortuneteller needs to be careful, danger awaits her next year.
There are also modern fortune tellings that have become a New Year’s tradition. One of them is fortune telling using champagne. We all look forward to the fulfillment of our dreams next year. With the help of this fortune telling you can help yourself with this. Before you sit down New Year's table, write down all your most cherished desires on a piece of paper and place it next to you. Just before the New Year, with the first chime, light a leaf, pour the ashes into a glass of champagne and drink in one gulp. If you manage to complete everything before the chimes strike last time, your wish will come true.
On New Year's Day, in the old days, girls and boys used to tell fortunes in a unique way. They went outside and made a wish. Listening to the words coming from other people's windows, they guessed whether their wish would come true, what life would be like, future husband or wife. At the same time, not only the meaning of the words heard was taken into account, but also the voice itself: whether it belonged to a man or a woman, old or young. The tone of the words spoken also mattered. A gentle voice foreshadowed peace and tranquility in the future for the family, swearing - accordingly, discord.
A number of such fortune-telling also includes calling. On the street, a girl approached the first man she met and asked his name. What was heard in response was considered the name of the future groom.
The girls also went out onto the road and said: “Bark, bark, little dog, howl, little gray top.” Whichever direction the noise comes from, that’s where the girl will go to a new, married life. If the source of noise is close, it means it is not far away and the narrowed one is located. If the noise is barely audible, the girl will go far, far away.
They also eavesdropped at home. They went to bed saying, “The betrothed, drive past the window.” If they drive by outside the window, having fun and shouting, their married life will be joyful and happy. If they pass quietly, the girl will live in poverty and misery.
New Year's morning is the most suitable time for such an interesting and mysterious activity as fortune telling by coffee grounds. Your imagination will tell you exactly how to interpret the patterns formed on a saucer of coffee grounds.
The ritual begins with manual preparation of coffee. Forget about the coffee maker and instant surrogates, and brew it the way our grandmothers and great-grandmothers did. Pour freshly ground coffee into a saucepan, add boiled water and cook. Wait until grounds form. Then you can drink it and talk about the topic that you want to clarify during fortune telling. A pleasant atmosphere will allow you to relax, and a casual conversation will help in the subsequent interpretation of drawings on coffee grounds. When only the grounds remain in the mugs, turn them over onto saucers. You need to make sure that the grounds remain liquid and flow freely around the edges. Place the mug upside down on the saucer and wait about ten minutes.
Only after this can you begin fortune telling. The grounds on the saucer should be divided into four even parts - they will symbolize the seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, respectively.
Interpretation of signs:
- Bubbles in the middle of the saucer indicate news or a letter. Pay attention to which side of the center they are on so you know exactly when it will arrive.
- If any of the sides of the saucer is not dirty, with only one drop of coffee, then news or a visit will come from afar, and look carefully on which side of the thicket it is located - if on the left, then the news will come from the west, if on the right, then from the east.
- Stars and dots predict the smile of Fortune. It is possible that you will win a large sum of money. Crosses and circles are warning signs. If the thicket forms elevations, this means success in the intended actions, but if there are depressions and depressions next to them, obstacles may arise on the path to success, which can be quite unexpected (the narrow cracks passing through the elevations will tell you this). If you see beads scattered in a straight line, you can easily overcome these obstacles. Black lines indicate a favorable outcome of events.
You can predict the future using coffee grounds at any time, not just on New Year's Day. This fortune telling will help in any issues of your personal life, everyday life, and work. But remember - coffee grounds, like any other way to look into the future, does not give accurate forecast. It only tells us which direction we should go.
To predict how rich you will be next year, we advise you to conduct a special fortune telling with money. This is a very simple fortune telling that does not require any special preparation. Take three plates and one coin and ask someone from your family or friends to hide the coin under one of the plates. At this time, you better go out. When everything is ready, go into the room and choose the plate under which you think there is a coin. If you guess right the first time, your financial situation improve noticeably. If from the second, you will also have money.
Fortune telling for the Old New Year is simple and accurate. On this mysterious holiday, you can look into the future, find out your fate, tell fortunes about love and your betrothed, about the fulfillment of your cherished desires. Any of the many methods can be easily done at home. Also, during the period from January 13 to 14, our ancestors observed many traditions and performed rituals that helped them live in happiness and prosperity throughout the next year.
