Fortune telling at the table for the Old New Year

We entice good luck in the Old New Year!

The Old New Year, or rather the New Year according to the Julian calendar, is celebrated not only in Russia and other countries of the former USSR, but also in Serbia and Montenegro, as well as in some German cantons of Switzerland. However, it became “old” for us quite recently, 100 years ago. And before it was just New Year, a cheerful and slightly mystical holiday, when everyone wanted to at least take a glimpse into the future. The peasants were interested in the future harvest, the girls were interested in grooms, the heads of families were interested in profit, and everyone, without exception, was interested in happiness!

What lucky signs are you missing? Maybe it's time to tell your fortune a little?

Weather for the Old New Year: note for summer residents

Previously, on New Year's Day, people followed... the wind!

If the wind blew from the south at night, the summer will be hot and dry.

From the west - that means there will be a lot of milk and fish.

The east wind foreshadowed an abundance of fruits and vegetables.

” For some reason, folk signs remain ominously silent regarding the north wind. Let's hope he just harvests everything at once!

A clear starry sky foreshadows a berry year, and abundant frost in the morning - a record honey harvest.

If it’s warm outside, then summer will be rainy; if it’s snowing, then you should expect a good harvest.

Fortune telling for the groom for the Old New Year

Probably, there was no one in Rus' more superstitious than girls of marriageable age. They guessed at their future marriage in so many ways, as if they were going to get married ten times a year. For example, did you know about fortune telling... using bulbs?

Fortune telling on bulbs. On the night from 13 to 14, the girls put the bulbs in a bowl of water and watched them for several days. Whichever one puts out roots faster, the owner will be the first to get married!

Fortune telling on a ring, bread and hook: these three items were placed in a bowl along with coals, pebbles, and any other debris and covered with a cloth. The girls, without looking, pulled out the first thing that came to hand from this bowl: the bread foreshadowed a rich marriage, the ring - a handsome husband, the hook - a poor or sick husband. Well, if you pulled out a pebble, don’t wait for a marriage proposal!

Fortune telling by dog. The dog was let into the room where the girl was waiting for her. The behavior of the dog was used to judge the character of the future husband: he caresses - and the husband will be affectionate; he sniffs and bypasses - the husband will be jealous and angry. And God forbid if it tries to bite!

Fortune telling with a comb. Before going to bed, the girl puts a comb under her pillow with the words “Betrothed, mummer, come and comb my hair.” If in a dream she sees a man combing her hair, then this year she will be married to the person in the dream.

Fortune telling with eavesdropping. The future bride, in the company of her girlfriends, slowly crept up to the neighbors' windows and listened to what was happening in the house. They swear - and the husband will swear, they laugh - there will be fun in the family, they drink - the husband will be caught as a drunkard.

” Celebrating the Old New Year in an exclusively female company is a bad omen: the year will be full of various troubles. So it’s better to invite a young man into your home, preferably from a large family. It was believed that if he became the first guest in your home, the year would be well-fed, rich and prosperous.

Guessing at the table

In addition to the traditional Fortune telling on dumplings or dumplings was very popular, the filling of which included various edible and inedible items. Frankly, it seems that anything small enough to be rolled into a dumpling ends up in there! Print out the list of meanings of “dumpling investments” in advance if you decide to treat guests - have a lot of fun! Just remember to warn that the dish may contain inedible solid objects... The list of predictions is under the spoiler.

We entice good luck in the Old New Year!

You don't have to rely solely on lucky signs; A number of rituals have been developed to ensure that the new year is better than the previous one.

It is advisable to prepare dishes from pork, chicken or hare. Pork promised wealth, rooster dishes promised freedom, and hare meat promised success in all endeavors. If you are not ready to look for hare meat or do not like pork, then replace the meat with symbols of these animals - cookies or crackers in the form of little animals.

On the table did not serve game or fish so that happiness does not “fly away” and “float away” from home. Crayfish and other animals that backed away or moved sideways were also undesirable - they promised the return of old problems in the new year.

Finally, on the Internet there was a description of “the surest and most reliable way to attract money into the house for the Old New Year.” So: take two candles, one white wax and the other yellow. White will symbolize you, and yellow will symbolize gold, which will be attracted to your home. Light them at the festive table, placing them on a platter 10 centimeters from each other. Close your eyes and mentally imagine how a yellow candle is attracted to a white one. Put them out and repeat the ritual the next day, placing the candles a little closer. Continue this way until Epiphany, when the candles should burn out completely. Wrap the cinders in silk cloth and hide them in a secluded place. Keep them until you have money in the house (and this, of course, will happen very soon!)

Happy new (now definitely new) year to you!

Traditionally, the best period for girls' fortune telling for the future and love is Christmastide. Moreover, the most powerful days from a magical point of view are Christmas and Old New Year.

Christmas fortune telling before bed.

As on any other holiday, you can try to see your betrothed in a dream. For example, four card kings are placed under the pillow and the following words are said:

“Who is my betrothed, who is my mummer - dream about him in a dream.”

It is believed that in a dream a girl will certainly see her future husband in the form of one of the kings. If the fortuneteller sympathizes with a particular young man, you can put only the king of diamonds under the pillow and ask a specific question related to him. In a dream she should receive an answer. You can use fortune telling to find out the name of your future betrothed. To do this, in the evening, various men's names are written on several small pieces of paper and placed under the pillow. In the morning, when they wake up, they take out the first piece of paper they come across: whatever name is indicated on it, that will be the name of the future husband.

Fortune telling with mirrors

It is no coincidence that a mirror is considered one of the most mystical objects and is used in many fortune telling. You can tell fortunes at Christmas time using a mirror in several ways. For example, you can take a mirror and go out with it to an intersection. This must be done, of course, at night. You should draw a circle around yourself and say: “Betrothed, come to me along the path and along the white snowball.” After this, they peer into the mirror. As they say, you can see a variety of visions. Ideally, this, of course, should be the image of the future betrothed. If you see something bad, you need to read the “Our Father” prayer, and no harm will happen.

Yuletide fortune-telling using dumplings

One of the traditional Russian fortune-telling for the Old New Year is fortune-telling using dumplings. To do this, the hostess of the house, inviting guests, prepares dumplings with potatoes, some of which she puts filling in the form of small surprises. The essence of fortune telling is that no one knows what exactly the dumpling will come with, and it is by its filling that they determine what awaits a person in the coming year.

Also, on Old New Year's Eve, girls tell fortunes on a wedding ring without stones or jewelry. The ring is placed in a glass of water. The bottom of the glass should be level. Then they light a candle and place it on the left side of the glass. Exactly at midnight they look intently into the ring, making a wish. Soon the water in the glass will become cloudy and you will see an image that will answer your question.

Another simple fortune telling for the next year is as follows: several pieces of bread, different in size, according to the number of family members, are placed in a bowl of water. While swirling the water with your finger, say the following words:

“Bread and water, my whole family is here. If there is trouble, separate bread and water.”

If, looking in the morning, all the pieces of bread are together, then the whole family will be safe and sound. And if some piece is separated from the others, then that person will either leave or die.

Fortune telling by wish held on the morning of January 14 at the church gates. They notice people entering the church - who is more of the thirteen parishioners, men or women. The desire will be fulfilled if there are more men and will not be fulfilled if there are more women. And if a man is guessing, then vice versa. Also, on the old New Year, you can freeze water in a spoon and watch: if there are bubbles, then this is a good sign. It portends a long, happy life. And if there is a hole in the ice, then this will lead to grief and misfortune.

Fortune telling for the old New Year on a trough They told fortunes in the yard where they placed the trough. The girls walked towards him with their backs forward. The one that fell into the trough got married that year.

Christmas fortune telling on a thread Unmarried girls gathered in a group, cut threads of the same length, then set them on fire at the same time. Whose thread burns out first will get married. It was considered a bad sign if the thread burned out only to the middle or went out very quickly - such a girl was not likely to get married.

Christmas fortune telling for the gender of the child Take a ring, a needle and a woolen thread. The ring must be held in water, the thread must be pulled into the needle. The ring is then hung on a thread and slowly lowered near the hand of the one who wants to find out the gender of her unborn child. If the ring rotates in a circle, then there will be a girl, but if it moves like a pendulum, there will be a boy. If the ring remains motionless, there will be no children.

Fortune telling with matches for January 13-14 Usually a girl who has a certain guy in her heart makes fortunes to find out if they will be together. To do this, two matches are inserted into the sides of the matchbox and set on fire. If the heads of burnt matches are facing each other, the pair should be together.

Fortune telling by ring on January 13-14 The fortune-telling girl throws a ring on the floor. If it rolls towards the door, it means she will soon get married. If a man performs such fortune-telling and the ring points to the door, he will have a long business trip or leave home.

Fortune telling on an egg for Christmas time The girl takes a raw chicken egg, makes a small hole in it and pours the white into a glass of water. When the protein folds, you can guess the future by its shape. The figure of a church means a wedding, a ring means an engagement, a rectangle means a coffin, a ship or car means a business trip (for a man) or the return of a husband from a trip (for a woman). If the protein sank to the bottom, there could be a fire in the house or other troubles in the family.

Fortune telling on logs at Christmas time The girl needs to approach the woodpile with her back at night and pick up a log by touch. If it later turns out that it is even and smooth, without knots, the spouse will have an easy-going character. If the log is thick and heavy, the husband will be rich. If there are a lot of knots, there will be many children in the family, and if the log is crooked, the husband will be askew and lame.

The Old New Year coincides with Vasily's Day. Namely, this day in ancient Rus' was endowed with magical powers and was prophetic. It was believed that fortune telling for the Old New Year made it possible to obtain reliable information on any issue.
There are many popular beliefs and signs associated with this day, such as:

It was not advisable to say the word “thirteen” throughout the day, so as not to attract evil spirits into your home;
When paying for any goods, you cannot count the change in small change, otherwise you will shed tears all year;
On the evening of the Old New Year, you cannot borrow anything from your own home, otherwise the entire next year will pass in debt;
On the evening of Old New Year, you cannot take trash out of the house, otherwise you can take your own happiness with it.

Fortune telling was very popular in ancient times. Therefore, many rituals are rooted in the deep past. In the modern world, they are not so easy to accomplish. But they allow you to get an accurate answer to your question.

Ritual with a rooster

In Russian villages, a ritual with a rooster was held on the Old New Year. It made it possible to determine whether luck awaited the family in the coming year. To do this, closer to midnight, the rooster was removed from the roost and brought into the house, where wheat grains were first scattered on the floor.

It was necessary to pay attention to the following:

If the rooster pecked all the grains, then next year good luck will not bypass your home, and peace and harmony will reign in your family;
If the bird pecks only a couple of grains, then you need to prepare for the wedding;
If the rooster refused to peck the grains, then the year as a whole will be unsuccessful.

Let's guess with the whole family

Another family ritual was also very popular. When everyone gathers at the festive table, you need to put a bowl of water in the middle and throw in small pieces of bread, the number of which should match the number of family members.

Having swirled the water with your finger, you should say the following magic words:

“Spin the bread in the water, my whole family is here. If trouble comes, show it water.”

After this, the container should be set aside until the morning. In the morning you need to look at the result of fortune telling. If the bread remains in the pile, then the whole family will survive throughout the coming year. And if even one piece falls off, then it may well be that trouble will happen to one of the family members. If all the pieces of bread fall apart, then the family will fall apart, but this may also mean that in the coming year everyone will disperse.

Wax fortune telling

Fortune telling for the Old New Year using wax is very popular in the modern world. You should know that fortune telling using wax should be taken very seriously. This is due to the fact that wax is a very powerful magical attribute that can work with human energy.

For the ritual, in order to obtain wax for fortune telling, you need to melt one church candle in the flame of another. Typically this is done in a tablespoon. Having melted the wax, you need to pour it into a previously prepared container with water. After it hardens, the resulting cake should be examined and interpreted in relation to your own question.

In any case, the main factor is the shape of the resulting figure. If it is round, then this is already a good omen, which indicates that the person will be lucky in the coming year. The presence of sharp corners and peaks around the perimeter indicates that you are surrounded by ill-wishers, from whom you should expect trouble in the coming year. The interpretation of wax depends entirely on the imagination of the person performing the ceremony. And at the same time, it is very important to listen to your inner feelings.

Decoding on wax

Among the most popular interpretations are the following:

Numbers and letters can be associated with specific dates, names, or the names of specific places;
Straight lines on a wax figurine indicate that successful endeavors await you in the new year;
Clear dots on the wax foreshadow possible profits;
A figure resembling an angel or wings indicates that when solving complex problems you can count on the help of higher powers;
A woman's figure may indicate the presence of a rival;
The figure of a man predicts a quick acquaintance in the near future or even marriage;
The figure of a child indicates both the birth of a child in the coming year and the beginning of a new business;
The figure of a cat warns of imminent betrayal among close friends;
The figure of the dog emphasizes that close friends will always be with you in the coming year.

Fortune telling for the betrothed

Fortune telling for the betrothed for the Old New Year was very popular among girls. There were many customs with the help of which girls could predict their marriage.

Using a towel

In our time, fortune telling came, which involved the use of a towel. For the ceremony you need to purchase a snow-white thin towel. On the night before the Old New Year, when going to bed, you should hang your towel outside. In the modern world, an item can be hung on a balcony.

During this, the following words had to be said:

“My betrothed, I’m waiting for you, love is stored in my soul for you, come quickly, let me know about you, dry yourself with a towel.”

After this, you had to go straight to bed, imagining your betrothed, that is, endowing him with traits that will be dear to you. Early in the morning you need to go out and feel the towel. If it is wet, it means that the betrothed has come and will get married in the coming year. If the towel remains dry, there will be no wedding next year.

On the husband's character

There is also a simple and, one might say, half-comic fortune-telling that will tell a girl what her future husband will be like.

To do this, you need to place five plates on the floor and, accordingly, in them:

Pour in coins;
Pour vodka;
Put down the cigarettes;
Put down the mirror;
Put down the book.

After this, you need to let the rooster into the room and, being at a certain distance, watch it if the rooster pecks:

Coins, then the husband will be rich;
Vodka, then the future spouse will have a passion for drinking;
Cigarettes, then the man in your life will smoke;
Mirror, then you will come across a handsome man;
A book, then your spouse will be very smart.

In the name of the future husband

To find out the name of your future husband, you need to write nine male names on ten small leaves, and leave one blank. All of them need to be rolled into tubes and placed under the pillow just before bed. You cannot be distracted during such an action, and after everything is done you need to immediately go to bed. In the morning you need to immediately take out one of the notes. If a name is written on it, then soon a close friend with the same name will appear next to you. And if an empty note was drawn out, then you will have to spend another year alone.

To make your cherished wish come true

On the Old New Year, fortune telling can help your cherished wish come true. For example, on a New Year's tree you need to hang a colorful box among the toys, and inside it put a note with your cherished wish. For the Old New Year, you need to remove the box and take out the note from it.

“Let my wish become reality.”

Then the box must be hung on the tree again, the note must be burned in a candle flame, and the ashes must be blown out of the open window.
If you decide to do fortune-telling for the Old New Year, then treat it as a fabulous event. All actions must be carried out in a positive mood - and then success is guaranteed.

The Old New Year is a holiday that arose due to the difference between the Gregorian and Julian calendars. According to the old (Julian) calendar, New Year would have begun on this day. In Ukraine, it is still customary to celebrate this holiday, calling it Generous Evening.

For each of them, make a wish for one of your relatives.

Throw the pieces into a bowl.

Look in the morning: if all the pieces come together, then the whole family will be complete all year. And if any of them floats separately from the rest, then the mysterious person will face a wedding, departure or death.

Gender of the child

It was possible to find out the gender of the unborn child by fortune telling with a ring. It required:

Dip the ring into a glass of water.

Hang it on a thread or your own hair.

Carefully bring it to the hand of the person being told fortunes. If she begins to move in a circle, then a girl will be born, if she makes pendulum-like movements, then a boy will be born. Well, if it stands still, then there will be no children.

Conversations

You can find out how the coming year will turn out by listening to other people's conversations. First you need to concentrate, and then listen carefully to what others say. If you hear boisterous laughter, then everything will be fine in the new year, crying or swearing - the year will not be easy, if the conversation of tipsy people - you should beware of bad habits.

With glasses

An interesting, fun and accurate New Year's fortune telling to find out upcoming events - using glasses. It can be spent in a cheerful company of friends.

To do this you should:

Take four glasses;

Fill them halfway with water or melted snow;

Pour a small spoonful of salt and sugar into two of them, put a ring into the third, and leave the fourth glass unchanged;

Then one of the fortune tellers should turn her back;

Her friend needs to point her finger at each of the glasses in turn until the girl who has turned away stops her;

You need to take a sip from the chosen glass: if you feel the taste of salt, then there is sadness and tears ahead, if the water is sweet - fun and joy, if it is ordinary - then the year will be the same, when a ring is found in the glass - the girl will soon get married.

Fortune telling at the festive table

Another name for the Old New Year holiday is the rich holy evening or rich Vasilyev evening, named after St. Basil the Great. On this day, according to the old tradition, it was customary to generously set the table. Pork dishes were considered a special treat, and a whole roasted pig - a symbol of fertility and fertility - was the main decoration of the festive table, because St. Basil was considered the patron saint of pig farmers. “A pig and a boletus for Vasily’s evening”, “The pig is an unclean animal, but God has nothing unclean - Vasily will bless the winter! “- our ancestors said in proverbs about this day. Another important dish at the holiday was generous kutia, which was generously seasoned with meat and lard, and then placed in a corner with icons.

Fortune telling

You can use this easy method. Freeze water in a spoon in the evening and look in the morning: if there are bubbles, it promises a long, happy life. And if a hole forms in the ice, then this means great grief, misfortune and death. The following method of fortune telling is suitable for unmarried girls.

It requires:

Pour any cereal or pebbles into a fabric bag.

Place a crust of bread, a hook and a ring in it.

Without looking, get any of the items.

Get a prediction. If a girl came across a loaf of bread, it promised a life of prosperity, a hook foreshadowed a difficult fate, and a ring - a happy marriage.

No less popular is the method of divination using the shadows of burnt paper.

Crumple up a large sheet of paper or newspaper;

Place it on a flat dish;

Fill any container with water (or melted snow);

Melt the candle;

Carefully pour the melted wax into cold water into the very center of the bowl;

The resulting figure should be used to judge future events.

Who will be the first to get married in the new year?

Unmarried girls or their mothers can also tell fortunes for a quick marriage using nut shells. Place two walnut shells in a bowl of water. If they get together, the girl will soon get married, if they go their separate ways, the wedding is still far away. Another well-known New Year's ritual for the betrothed is carried out using a towel.

Take a new white towel;

Before going to bed, hang it out the window;

You cannot say the word “thirteen” on holiday.

During the old New Year they do not lend money, otherwise the whole year can be spent in poverty.

A clear and starry sky predicts a generous harvest of berries.

On January 14, you can shake fruit trees so that St. Basil will protect the gardens from pests. In the morning you need to go around the garden, reading the spell: “As I shake off (name) the white fluffy snow, so Saint Basil will shake off every worm-reptile in the spring.”

The ancestors believed that on the Generous Evening, witches stole the moon from the heavens, but still could not stop the coming of the growing day.

On the holiday, early in the morning, it was customary to cook Vasiliev’s porridge and monitor its preparation. If the porridge “escapes” from the pan or the pot in which it is cooked cracks, there will be trouble. In this case, the porridge along with the vessel was thrown into the hole. If it was cooked as it should be, they would definitely eat it all.
