Divination at Christmas "challenge of the spirit" - the most unusual and dangerous New Year's ritual. The Orthodox Church is extremely negative about any fortune-telling, and it is forbidden to disturb the souls of the dead even at Christmas Eve. Not all otherworldly beings are friendly towards the person, so during the session you should not allow yourself to swear and laugh.
Divination with spirits on Christmas on a saucer
Prepare the necessary items for the ceremony: a porcelain saucer, a large sheet of paper. At least four people should participate in the divination.
Important: the more guessers, the faster the spirit will move the saucer. Draw a large alphabetic circle on paper, write letters of the alphabet in a clockwise direction. Inside a large circle, draw a smaller circle - for numbers (0-9), from below write "no", from above - "yes." It is allowed to arrange letters and numbers around one circle - this is not a matter of principle. Mirrors in the room where it is planned to evoke the spirit should not be. Folds and windows are best closed, remove the icons. It is necessary to remove from oneself crosses, rings, chains and other metal ornaments. You can not drink alcohol categorically, the spirits will not like it and they will distort the truth. Light 2-3 candles (not church!), Smoke the saucer above the flame of the candle and draw an arrow.
Calling the spirit Heat the saucer over the candle flame, put the bottom up in the center of the alphabetic circle. The fortune-tellers warm their palms, sit around the sheet with a circle in a circle, put two fingers evenly around the circle on an inverted dish. One person begins the challenge of the spirits: "Spirit (name), come to us." It is possible to evoke the spirit of any deceased, but resorting to the spirits of deceased relatives is considered more dangerous. It is necessary to think ahead of questions to the spirit, in the process it will not be easy. When the saucer starts moving, ask: "Spirit, are you here?" And he will point with an arrow at "yes." You can start a dialogue by asking questions in a polite, low voice. Sometimes spirits respond reluctantly, more often - a saucer swiftly "runs around" in a circle. After the end of the session, you need to thank the spirit and force it to leave the real world with the help of the spell: "Spirit (name), we let you go."
Fortune-telling fortune-telling with 40 candles
In the ritual, one person participates, dressed in monophonic clothing (gray, black, white). On the night of January 7, prepare a room for divination: close the door, curtain the windows. Take 40 white candles, one black, chalk, thick fabric, two small mirrors. Before calling the spirit, concentrate and think over the questions (you can ask only 3 questions that mean "yes" / "no" answers). Draw a chalk in the middle of the room a large circle, inside you place 40 candles. Place the mirror in the center in such a way that a corridor is formed that reflects all the candles. Light a black candle and take it in your hand, it is convenient to sit facing one mirror, close your eyes and call the spirit. After 2-3 minutes, open your eyes and look at the mirror corridor. If you are lucky, you can see in it an image of the spirit and start a dialogue. The answer will tell the flame of a black candle. If it is negative, the flame will become dim, positive - it will become brighter.
The best days for fortune-telling for Christmas are "the challenge of the spirit" - from January 14 to 18. The most truthful prophecies are on the Last Night on the night of January 19.
