These rituals will help you answer the questions that torment you.
In the article:
Fortune telling before going to bed for your betrothed
Many fortune telling for the betrothed is carried out before bedtime. This is done because it is quite difficult for an ignorant person who has not previously encountered witchcraft to accept and see the signs of fate. But sleep is a completely different matter. When we sleep, we are open to the world and perceive its cues. At least once, each of us has had a prophetic dream. And if you know exactly what kind of clues you want to know and carried out the ritual correctly, that is, made a kind of “request,” then you will undoubtedly find out the answer.
Fortune telling for a betrothed by salt
For this ritual you should take ordinary salt. It is often used in other rituals, for example, in the evening, when you prepare dinner, deliberately over-salt it. Thus, when you go to bed, you will feel thirsty. Before you fall asleep, say this spell:
Who is my betrothed, who is my mummer, will give me a drink
The one who comes into your dreams is your chosen one. Don’t forget to write down what you dreamed as soon as you wake up from sleep, as it can quickly disappear from your memory.
Fortune telling for the betrothed with twigs
This fortune telling should mainly be done in the spring, since the branches for the ritual will need to be fresh and full of strength, with young buds. Weave them into a symbolic bridge. It is not at all necessary to make a miniature copy of the bridge, just so that it is similar and you know what it is and what it is needed for. Then, when you go to bed, place it near your head and say:
Who is my betrothed, who is my mummer, will take me across the bridge.
Your chosen one should come to you in a dream this night.
Fortune telling about your future husband on the water
For this ritual you only need a bowl of clean water and an ordinary lock. It is desirable that there is a full moon and its light falls on the vessel. Late in the evening, before going to bed, click the lock over the bowl and whisper:
Come, my betrothed, ask for a drink.
Whoever you meet this night will become your husband.
Fortune telling for the groom
Native girls can also guess about their beloved. But for this it is necessary that the one being told fortunes move to sleep in a new place. In addition, she should not take part in the ritual. Following this, any thing that is used to tell fortunes is taken and “locked”, that is, the fortune teller takes a lock, hangs it on this item and locks it with a key. The one performing the ritual must place the same key near her head and say:
Betrothed-mummer, come to unlock your daughter-in-law and rescue her from captivity.
Accordingly, the future groom will be seen this night.
Fortune telling about your future husband using cards
Now you must choose 4 kings from the ordinary one. It’s better to take a new, unplayed deck. When going to bed, hide the cards near your pillow and say:
Who is my betrothed, who is my mummer, appear in my dreams.
Your betrothed will come in a dream in the form of one of the kings. The suit will tell you about the financial condition and character of the groom.
- So, the king of spades symbolizes a man older than you, wealthy, but stingy. Besides everything, he is jealous and distrustful.
- The cross king denotes a man of action. That is, he is an active, brave and determined person. Could be a military man or a firefighter, or just play sports and have extreme hobbies.
- The King of Diamonds speaks of a sweet and slightly clumsy young man. He has a kind heart and loves animals. With a high degree of probability, the fortuneteller is already familiar with him.
- The King of Hearts symbolizes a man in his prime, rich and full of energy. But he already has a lady of his heart, although not for long.
Fortune telling for the groom with a frying pan
First, find a suitable frying pan. You can use any household frying pan, especially if you use it often. Now you should quietly place it under your mother’s bed at night. It is very important that your mother does not notice this. When you go to bed, say:
Betrothed, come and visit your mother-in-law for pancakes.
The one who appears in a dream this night before your mother will be your chosen one.
Fortune telling on the groom on a towel
If you would like to find out if you will get married in this year, then use this ritual to find out the exact answer. In the evening you need to hang a piece of white clean fabric outside the window and say:
Betrothed, come to me and dry yourself with this towel
If in the morning it is still dry and clean, don’t expect to get married this year; if it becomes wet and dirty, then you will get married, but your family life will not be particularly happy. If the towel falls, expect trouble.
Fortune telling for the betrothed with jam
This fun ritual will surely please those with a sweet tooth. It not only helps to see the future betrothed, it also helps to attract suitors. To do this, you just need to take a saucer or bowl with your favorite jam. At night, before you go to bed, place the bowl near the head of the bed and say the following:
I have all the sweets

Yuletide fortune telling
Christmas time (January 7 - 19) is a favorite time for fortune telling for our ancestors. All the unmarried girls gathered together and wondered about their future marriage, the birth of children, their husband’s wealth, etc. Married women also gathered, but separately, and the topic of fortune telling was somewhat different. Why was this particular time considered the most appropriate? They say that it is on these days that the veil between this world and that one opens, and all magical actions, and especially fortune-telling, acquire special power.

Fortune telling for the betrothed with a mirror

So, the ritual itself begins at midnight. The fortuneteller needs to be alone. You will need a candle and a mirror. Your hair should not be pinned up; if you are wearing a belt, take it off.
After this, turn off all the lights except the candle flame. Let the mirror stand opposite you. Take a close look at it and call, mentally or out loud, your betrothed. Without taking your eyes off or blinking, look behind your left shoulder. Gradually, the silhouette of a man will take shape there. Having examined his face, say: “Out of this place!” After this, the ritual will be considered over. Blow out the candle and turn on the light. It is advisable to hide the mirror away.
Fortune telling by patches
To carry out this fortune telling, you need to take pieces of fabric different color. You need to put them in one box. Next, ask the question out loud: “What color is my lover’s hair?” Following this, you should pull out a piece of fabric without looking into the chest. Accordingly, what color the fabric is, your betrothed’s hair will be the same. This way you can find out others external signs future lover, suppose eye color.
Fortune telling about your future husband
This ritual helped young girls find out who their husband would be in the current year, and if so. The meaning of fortune telling was that various objects were previously placed on the table: coal, ring, wheat, book, glass, coin, etc. The girl with her eyes closed entered the room and gropedly grabbed one of the things. Each item symbolized something of its own, a special meaning.
Thus, a spike of wheat was a sign that the future chosen one would be a grain grower, a coin announced the husband’s wealth, a book symbolized the groom’s learning, and a glass predicted a drunkard husband. Now this fortune telling has changed somewhat, since it appeared a large number of new professions. So in modern version you can add such items as: a flash drive, as a sign of a programmer’s husband, a knife denotes a military man, a cereal - a business man, and a mirror - a playmaker. If a girl comes across a piece of coal, then she will not have a wedding this year.
Fortune telling for your betrothed in the snow
Not all fortune telling took place in the room, outside closed doors. Some of them required getting outside. These rituals are one of them.
First you need to go outside. It is important that there is no heavy snow this evening. Find a place where the snow is untouched. Walk along it, leaving clear footprints. After this you can return to the house. In the morning, go and see if anyone has crossed your tracks. If they are intact and untouched, it means that your husband will be kind and affectionate, and your home life will be quiet and happy. If they are trampled, alas, your marriage will not work out, you will be haunted by failures and poverty.
You can also go outside exactly in the middle of the night and pick up a handful of snow. Next, throw it against the wind. If the snowflakes fall directly on you, the betrothed will be young and handsome, and if the wind blows them in the other direction, then the betrothed will be an elderly and wealthy man.
Fortune telling for husband's name on paper
If you are interested in the name of the future groom, then this fortune telling is perfect for you. By the way, you can spend it together with your girlfriends. First you need to cut not very thin ones and write on them male names. Some of them should be left blank. Next, lower them to the bottom of a deep bowl and fill with water. The resulting whirlpool will bring notes to the surface, and the one who manages to grab one of them will learn the name of her future husband. If you caught an empty note, it means that the groom will not appear soon.
Fortune telling for husband with herbs
If you are interested in collecting herbs in summer time, then this hobby can perfectly help you in the winter, during Christmas time. For this ritual you should collect 12 different herbs. For each of them, you need to wish for what awaits you on the personal front this year. It is advisable to take strips of paper and write on them what you want or fear most. For example: “I will meet the love of my life”, “I will be alone all year”, “I will marry my beloved”, etc. Now you need to carefully attach each strip to the corresponding flower. Blindfold your eyes with ribbon and randomly pull out a flower with a note. What is written in it will come true this year.

From the first, remove cards until an ace appears. Look at the next card after it: if it is again an ace, connect it with the first one and open the next card: send the ace to its “colleagues”, and any other card to the bat (you will no longer need it). Your task is to find aces in the pile that are next to each other. Let's say you hit an ace first, followed by another card, and then an ace again. You only need the first ace. All other cards, including aces and those not immediately following the first, are sent to the bat. Just as you sorted out the first pile, process the other three. As a result of your search, you may be left with one ace, two, three, four. The wish made is fulfilled by the owner of 4 aces, 3 aces foreshadow the imminent fulfillment of the desire, 2 aces, on the contrary, not soon, and one - there are no hopes. Don't despair if the cards show you something completely different from what you wanted.
You can make any wishes with the “four aces”, and one of them will definitely come true.

Cautions for fortune telling
People have come up with a lot of ways to protect themselves from unwanted consequences during fortune telling. But the most effective of them is not taking what is happening seriously. Sometimes it happens that a prediction gets stuck in the mind so strongly that a person involuntarily strives to realize it, sometimes even in spite of common sense. And it comes true, but not at all because it was so inevitable. And when fortune telling is perceived as just a game, it is not so offensive that the prediction did not come true. At least you had a blast.
Fortune telling for the betrothed (option I)
Fortune telling requires preliminary preparation. Four identical glasses are placed on the table, into three of which a ring (gold), a piece of bread, and a burnt match are placed in random order. The fourth glass remains empty. All glasses are covered with a cloth so that their contents cannot be determined. A person who wants to find out his future half must choose one of the glasses. The content will indicate the main characteristics of the chosen one. If a ring falls out - a marriage for love, bread - a marriage of convenience, a burnt match - life in poverty, an empty glass - your chosen one has not yet been determined. Fortune telling for the betrothed (option II)
Pieces of paper with the names of the candidates on hand are placed in a circle. By passing a gold ring hung on a silk thread over them, they see over which name the vibrations will be the strongest. It is this person that fate predicts. Fortune telling for the next year (option I)
Similar to the previous method, you can determine what the coming year will be like. You can put the following into your boots:
One of the boots should remain empty. It means that no changes are expected in life. The fortuneteller chooses a boot and determines by its contents what it will be like for him. New Year. Fortune telling for the next year (option II)
Write on small pieces of paper those aspirations that you would like to achieve next year and put them under your pillow. The leaf that falls or is in your hand in the morning will determine which of your wishes will be fulfilled by the new year. Fortune telling on the character of the betrothed (option I)
Fortune telling is usually done on Christmas Eve. You need to take three glasses of water. Add honey to the first glass, salt to the second, vinegar to the third. Stir and check that the water level in all glasses is the same. At night, glasses should be placed next to the bed. The next morning, see which glass contains the least amount of liquid, and that’s how married life will be. If with honey - sweet, happy. With vinegar - sour, dull, with salt - tearful, bitter. Fortune telling on the character of the betrothed (option II)
On any Christmas Eve you need to go outside and lean back in a snowdrift. You need to stand up carefully so as not to damage the print. Look carefully. If the imprint is smooth and even, then the character of the chosen one will be calm and smooth. If there are a lot of “wrinkles” left on the print, then the future spouse will be hard, difficult character. Fortune telling for the fulfillment of a wish (option I)
Requires a deck of 36 cards. Shuffle the deck and draw a card at random. The suit of the card will determine the suit of the “client”. If they are telling fortunes to a woman, then the “client” will be a lady of the same suit as the card drawn, if to a man, then the king will be taken as the “client”. The deck is shuffled again and moved towards you with the left hand. After which the top thirteen cards are discarded in a row. If a “client” or an ace comes up, they are put aside. The remaining cards are returned to the deck. In total, you need to discard thirteen cards three times. Then they look at how many aces are dropped.
This layout can also be used for a situation if it is formulated in the form of a question to which you can answer “yes” or “no.” Fortune telling for wish fulfillment (option II)
A deck of 36 cards is shuffled and removed with the left hand towards you. Lay out the cards in two rows in turn. If in one of the rows there are two consecutive cards of the same value (nine-nine, jack-jack), then they are removed, and the last card from the adjacent row is transferred to the one from which the pair was removed. After the deck has been laid out, the cards are carefully collected without disturbing the order, starting from the row that is located along right hand. Without shuffling, the collected cards are again laid out in two rows, removing the paired ones. In total, you need to lay out no more than three times. If there are less than six left (three cards in each row), then the probability of the wish coming true is very high. Age fortune telling
A ring (gold or silver) is tied to a thread and held over a glass half filled with water. Moreover, you need to hold it in such a way that the ring is in the glass, but does not reach the water. As soon as the ring begins to swing, you should count how many times it hits the walls of the glass. You need to stop counting when the ring stops touching them. This way you can find out at what age you will start a family. Fortune telling for children
A needle on a long thread is placed above the palm of the left hand. If the needle starts to swing along the palm, then a boy will be born, if across, a girl will be born. The needle is moved to the side. You need to repeat until the needle stops swinging. The number of attempts determines the number of children.
Fortune telling using a pendulum “Circle of Actions”
For this purpose, you can use a piece of fabric 50 cm long. Draw three circles on it with a felt-tip pen, one inside the other. Make a pendulum from a ring and a thread.
Focus. Please formulate the question correctly. Place the pendulum in the center of the circles.
If the pendulum gravitates toward a circle called “believe in yourself,” it means that your progress depends on yourself.
If the pendulum gravitates towards “active realization”, discard pride, forgive insults and fully realize yourself. The realization of your intentions and intended goals is impossible without taking into account the needs of other people. Determine where there are obstacles to the fulfillment of your plans, where you have not achieved your goals. Look for ways to remove obstacles. Any path forward is overcoming obstacles.
If the pendulum gravitates towards the “do nothing” sector, you will have to live according to the conditions dictated by other people, do not even try to follow your own rules. You will find that you learn a lot from the other person.
The pendulum only tells you what deep down you know yourself, but for some reason you don’t want to take into account. If, in your opinion, the situation is insoluble, then try to extract any benefit from it for yourself until it changes in better side. Fortune telling "Grain"
This fortune telling requires a deck of 36 cards and a grain of rice rolled in melted wax.
Shuffle the deck thoroughly and place it face down in random order. Close your eyes and throw the grain. Take the card on which it fell and look at its value.

At night, a towel is hung outside the window with the words: “Betrothed, come and dry yourself.” If the towel is wet in the morning, then this year the girl who hung it will get married. If he takes it off dry, he'll be a girl for another year. Fortune telling with socks
At night, a sock is put on the left foot. If the sock is taken off your foot in the morning, you are getting married soon (narrowed shoe). If the sock remains dressed, then the matchmakers will still have to wait a long time. Fortune telling has a peculiarity: after putting the sock on your foot, you cannot talk to anyone until the morning. Fortune telling with paper balls
Balls (six to eight pieces) are rolled out of equal pieces of paper, having previously written the name of the betrothed on one of them. All the balls are placed in a cup and mixed.
Each girl takes turns taking from one to three balls from the cup. Three empty balls drawn out - failure to fulfill a desire; a ball with a name, drawn out for the first or second time - the betrothed will soon marry. Fortune telling with needles
The two needles are well rubbed with wax or fat. One needle will represent the fortuneteller, the other - the person whose attitude you would like to know. The needles are indiscriminately dipped into the water. If they come together in the water - there will be family happiness (for married people) or to get married (for single people). If we were talking about friendship, then it will be strong. If the needles stop one against the other, then the fortuneteller may have a conflict with the person in question. If the needles come apart, brides remain unmarried, guys remain single, and for family people this means family discord and failure in business; friendship will end. If the needles immediately sank, the wish will come true.
Girls are not allowed to tell fortunes with needles. They should ask older women to do this. Fortune telling with a ring
During the day, pour water into a bowl, lower the ring and expose it to the cold. Shortly before bed, take out a bowl and look at the ice. If the water freezes evenly, life will be childless; otherwise, how many tubercles - so many sons, how many pits - so many daughters.
The ring is taken out and put on your hand at night. Everything you dream will come true. Fortune telling for wish fulfillment using paper
The wish should be written on a strip of paper, placed face down on a plate and set on fire. If the entire strip burns, the wish will come true; if less than half burns out, then its implementation is unlikely; if it burns not completely, but mostly, the desire will come true, but with a delay. Fortune telling for your betrothed using a ring, bread and a hook
The ring, bread and hook are placed on the floor under the scarf so that it is impossible to determine which item is located where. The fortuneteller takes out one of the objects by which the position of the future groom is determined. If you choose a ring, the betrothed will be a dandy, if you choose bread, you will be rich, if you choose a hook, you will be poor. Fortune telling for married people
If you suspect your husband of cheating, you can tell fortunes as follows: take a glass of water, a piece of paper, a teaspoon of coarse salt and a candle. The name of the alleged opponent (if known) is written on the paper. A candle is lit, salt is thrown into a glass, and a piece of paper is set on fire from the candle. Mix the salt with a spoon and say: “If the salt melts faster, then my husband will not leave me, and the paper burns out - their love will burn out.”
If the salt has melted and the paper is still smoldering, then your husband will stay with you, if on the contrary, sooner or later he will leave for his rival. Fortune telling for a quick marriage
Only girls tell fortunes and only in company. Anyone who wants to know the future is blindfolded and spun around so that she loses her bearings. Then they let go and notice in which direction the first step will take. If she goes to the door, she will get married this year; if she goes to the room, she will stay with her parents for another year.
Fortune telling by barking dogs
At midnight, take a knife, go outside, go to a snowdrift and start cutting the snow with a knife, saying: “Damn, damn, don’t be silent, damn, damn, tell me what kind of husband I’ll get, will I have to laugh or cry?”
Having said these words of the spell, shut up and listen carefully to the barking of the dogs. If an angry, abrupt bark is heard, it means that the future husband will be strict and gloomy.
If the dogs bark cheerfully and loudly, then the husband will be cheerful and kind.
It is very bad if you hear a dog howling during fortune telling. This suggests that the marriage will not last long and very quickly the young wife will become a widow. Fortune telling with wax figures II

Having said the last word of the spell, pour the wax into the milk and carefully examine the resulting figure. Here is an interpretation of some of the figures.

This fortune telling will allow girls to have quite a fun time, since it is not carried out alone, but in the company of friends.

Fortune telling is an ancient ritual, during which girls have the opportunity not only to receive truthful information about their future, but also to have a great time.
It is generally accepted that at Christmas, during the holidays, only representatives of the fair sex who have not found their betrothed make fortunes. But what about married young ladies who want to know what awaits them “on the personal front”, how their fate will turn out, how many children they will have, what to expect from life.
The question arises: is it possible to conduct fortune telling at Christmas time? The answer is positive, the only point is that the specifics of fortune telling and their interpretation will differ from fortune telling for unmarried girls.
But there are several limitations and features, taking into account which you can achieve good results.
What is Christmastide
Christmastide is a period of winter time that is celebrated by Christians as a special time of year. They last 12 days, starting on Christmas - January 7, and ending on January 19 - Epiphany. One of the traditions, in addition to the harsh, bitter frosts, is the holding of fortune-telling rituals for girls.
It is believed that it is at this time that “the cards will fall” so that the whole truth about the future will be revealed on the fortune-telling table. In general, this time is considered the most favorable for fortune telling.
Fortune telling during menstruation
Whether to guess during menstruation is worth it, each woman decides for herself. In general, there are no such prohibitions, and they do not apply to Christmastide or any other dates.
As for experienced fortune tellers, their advice is to refuse fortune-telling at this time of the cycle, since with the loss of blood a woman loses her vital energy. It is better to devote this time to gaining new strength and adequately evaluate it without wasting it.
Fortune telling has nothing in common and is compatible with the church, so if a Christian is particularly religious, then fortune telling is completely prohibited, regardless of the calendar dates - whether fasting or not.
If a person lives exclusively according to Christian commandments, and this is enough for him without deepening his faith, fortune telling is allowed, as on other days. As for the magical process at Christmas, everything here is considered more loyal.
On the contrary, there are even a lot of fortune telling that help married and unmarried girls begin to better navigate their destiny. On Christmas Eve, ladies without the treasured ring on their finger will be able to find out what their future husband looks like.
Features of fortune telling at Christmas: a sin or not?
According to the Bible, any fortune telling is prohibited; church ministers advise giving preference to prayers and petitions for a better life before the Almighty. This applies not only to Christmas night, but also to Christmastime in general.
If you have a strong desire to perform these magical rituals on Epiphany holidays, it is better to choose a date on the night of January 19th. There are many opinions that this is the most favorable period for fortune telling, family happiness and personal life.
The choice of day for fortune telling plays an important role. For example, Monday has a close relationship with the Moon and Venus, so there is an opinion about the responsibility of these planets for human intuition. So fortune telling on this day will provide the most reliable information, since there is the least likelihood of mistakes.

Married girls can also tell fortunes about their wishes, the birth of their first child (up to the date of his birth), and fortune. It is forbidden to guess about other betrotheds and other loves. It is also not recommended to guess, if there is no happiness in marriage, it is worth devoting this time to solving the problems that have arisen.
Is it possible for a married girl to tell fortunes on her own?
The ritual of fortune telling can be carried out independently, from the point of view of Christian principles and canons, there are no prohibitions. But it will be better and more correct if an experienced person tells your fortune, even if this is not a fortune teller. Many people are interested in the question of the frequency of fortune telling.
It is advisable not to overdo it, and if you see that cards or other tools do not give the answer you want, you should leave the actions for the next day.
The Christmastide period was and is considered the most favorable for fortune telling, since at this time all energy forces and flows are in the best location.
Thanks to the special placement of stars, you can learn a lot about your future and get real happiness.
