how to tell fortunes on andrey
If you are in a “love triangle” or are interested in relationships with several people, take several needles, preferably different ones. One will be yours, and for the rest, mentally “assign” those who interest you, and carefully, one by one, place them on the surface of the water.
The needles remaining on the surface mean those who will remain close to you in the coming year. If any two needles connect, this means a union (possibly marriage) of those people on whom you wished. If the needles stick together along their entire length, this promises fruitful cooperation and true friendship. If the ends of the needles come apart or the needles are on the surface of the water in different sides- this means that the connection between these people will weaken. And if the needles have sunk to the bottom, perhaps friendship with these people will be interrupted next year.
If your needle sinks, it means that a new period will begin in your life, and not all old connections will be preserved. In the new year, you will have new concerns, not those that seem so significant to you now, and there may be other people around you. It may happen that all the needles drown. What does it mean? Nothing bad. You just haven’t lubricated them enough, and the fortune telling needs to be repeated.

People say that on the night of St. Andrew the First-Called, from December 12 to 13, mystical events and miracles occur that can reveal the secret of the future.Since ancient times, in the period from December 13 to January 19, there was a custom of fortune telling. Over the course of a month, many tried to look under the veil of mystery and find out their fate. According to folk customs, the most suitable days for fortune telling were considered the holidays of Andrei, New Year, Christmas Eve (Christmas Eve), Old New Year and Baptism. People even believed that these days it was not a sin to guess.
However, on the night of December 12-13, girls and women wondered about their fortune and tried to find out the name of their betrothed. Many methods of fortune telling are still popular today. Choose any!
1. See your betrothed in a prophetic dream. In order to have a prophetic dream, you need to comb your hair with a clean comb at night. At the same time, you should say the following words: “Betrothed, dressed up, come to me dressed up.” After this, the girl should put the comb under the pillow. Before you fall asleep, you should try to imagine the image of the groom. There is another way to see your betrothed in a dream. To do this, the girl does not put a comb under her pillow, but cards - kings of all suits, except for spades. In the morning, when you wake up, you need to pull out one card, which will tell you what the groom will be like. If the king is “red” (of diamonds or hearts), therefore, the husband will love and respect. And if “black” (cross), then fate will not be easy and happiness will not be seen.
2. If you want to know the name of your future partner, take several pieces of paper and write one on each of them male name and put, say, in a hat, box, sock. Shake or stir and remove one leaf blindly. The name that will be written on the piece of paper will be the name of the betrothed.
3. There is another way to find out the future. To do this, hang a white towel out of the window at night (I’m curious, is this so that the future partner can see more clearly?) and say: “Mummer, come and dry your face.” Check your towel in the morning. If it’s dry, you’ll have to spend another year as a wench, but if it’s wet, you’ll get married within 12 months.
4. To find out when a girl should prepare for marriage, in the old days they poured water into a glass. Two candles were placed nearby, right next to the walls of the glassware. They took wedding ring(you could borrow it from your mother or grandmother) and tied it to your own hair or thin thread. The ring should be lowered into the glass so that it does not touch the water. And after that, the girls listened - the ring was supposed to knock on the walls of the glass and pronounce the name of the future husband. If the name could not be made out, you should at least remember how many times the ring hit the walls - in that many years the fortune teller will be married.
What does fate have in store?
During the winter holidays they told fortunes not only about suitors, but also simply about fate. One of the ways was this. You should melt the wax in a mug, pour milk into a saucer and place it at the threshold of your apartment or house. At the same time, it was necessary to say: “Brownie, my master, come to the threshold to drink milk and eat wax.” WITH last words the milk had to be poured into the melted wax. And after that it was necessary to carefully examine the drawing. If a frozen cross appeared, illness, problems, and troubles awaited the fortuneteller or her family. If the wax “bloomed” like a flower, it promised marriage, a new friend, partner, guardian. If an animal appeared in a saucer, the fortuneteller would watch for roads, crossings, and long ones at that. If the wax lay down in the form of stars, it foreshadowed great luck- in life, in business, in financial condition.
IN Ancient Rus' In order to find out what awaits in the future, the girls walked the streets and listened to sounds. If bells were ringing, then they could hope for imminent marriage, if there was swearing in some house, family life promised to be cloudy and gloomy. However, these days this simple fortune telling can be changed. In particular, without even going outside, you can “wander” around the entrance, listening to what your neighbors are talking about. Behind every door you can certainly hear something exciting that will suggest some event in the coming year.
To find out fate, they took Golden ring, placed it in a glass of water and left it in the cold overnight (today you can put it in the freezer). In the morning we checked the result. If the frozen water was without tubercles, it promised a childless life. The tubercles are children; how many there are, there should be so many offspring (sons). But if there are only holes on the frozen surface, only girls will be born.
It is believed that if the same person appears twice - both on this day and on Christmastide - the fortune-telling is correct and it will come true. For this fortune telling, the girl requires special preparation. For it to be true, you cannot eat anything meaty, only bread and water, but the most important condition is that all close relatives be well-fed on this day. Only girls or women tell fortunes. Before and after fortune telling, you need to remain silent until morning comes.
