Fortune-telling on the subject for the Christmas
On the night of January 7, put under the pillow three beans pods wrapped in the same pieces of paper: one - empty, the second - half empty, the third - full. In the morning, with your eyes closed, put your left (necessarily!) Hand under your pillow and at random pull out one bundle. An empty pod propheses a greedy and mean fiancé, half empty - uninteresting and boring, full of - a handsome and rich husband.Divination by children:
- take a needle or wedding ring. The object, suspended on a string / thread, is very slowly lowered near the second hand. If the ring / needle begins to perform pendulum movements - a boy will be born, circular - a girl. If the object does not move, the addition of the family in the new year should not be expected. Important: before the ritual it is necessary to pierce the needle with a needle, and lower the ring into a container with well water;
- to prepare a bowl and a gold ring. On Christmas night, pour in a bowl of clean water, throw the ring, put it in the cold. In the morning to see the result of the divination: an uneven surface with tubercles predicts the birth of sons, with dimples - daughters. Flat ice speaks of childless life.
Christmas fortune telling on desire
Write on small sheets of New Year wishes, put them in a cap / deep bowl, mix thoroughly. At random, pull out three notes with desires, which will certainly be performed in the coming year.Divination for the future:
- Take in hand a birch ray, moisten in a river / spring water, light from a candle flame. If the ray is "taken" quickly - this is a sign of material prosperity in the new year, it will burn unevenly, with a bang - ahead of financial difficulties;
- cook three things: a piece of wood, bread crust, headdress. Place the fortune-teller objects in a clean empty pot. With your eyes closed, pull out one thing. The headpiece predicts a successful marriage, the tree - interesting meetings and travel, bread - boring life under the parent wing;
- in the night from 6 to 7 January, go to the next house, stand near the window and listen to what is happening inside. A merry laugh promises a happy and joyful year, a quarrel indicates trouble and conflict, a loud crying symbolizes impending misfortune. An unmarried girl can, with the help of this ancient divination for Christ's Nativity, turn to her personal life: a young voice promises an agreeable and serious husband, the old one - a grouchy and pedantic bore.
