People have been striving to find out their future since ancient times. Most of the rites have not changed over the centuries. Fortune-telling is a special ritual, which should not be abused in any case. You need to ask for help from higher powers in knowing your fate only on certain days.
Christmas divination
It is believed that you can get reliable answers to your innermost questions on Christmas Eve. On the night of January 6-7, it is recommended not only to guess, but to make wishes. According to an old belief, everything that you dream about at twelve o'clock in the morning must necessarily come true within a year.
Christmas fortune-telling did not arise by chance. Even in the days of paganism, it was believed that it was on the night before Christmas that dark forces prevail over light spirits. The mystical night was used for the most difficult and responsible rituals. People asked for help in healing, "ordered" a crop, or tried to find out their fate.
It is believed that Monday, Wednesday and Friday are suitable for women for everyday fortune telling, and men are encouraged to perform rituals on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Christmas divination
Christmastide is a special time for fortune-telling. It was believed that in the period from January 7 to January 19, dark forces continue to travel the world of people and you can turn to them for help. There are a huge number of Christmas fortune-telling. Among them there are comic, serious and even dangerous rituals.
Fortune-telling on Christmastide is not only possible at night. The conditions for performing the rituals imply the very rules of fortune telling. For example, it was possible to summon spirits, address them with questions at night, and determine their fate or the name of the betrothed in the early morning. There were also fortune-telling, which involved several stages of actions that had to be performed over several days.
New Year's fortune-telling
New Year's Eve is not only the beginning of the new year, but also the most favorable time for fortune-telling. With the onset of darkness, you can engage in predictions, think about innermost dreams and make the most cherished desires.
On the night of January 13-14, there is a second chance to find out the fate of those who did not do this on New Year's Eve. Old New Year will also help to implement exciting rituals.
December 13 (St. Andrew's Day) - girls can recognize their betrothed. If on this day and during Christmas divination the images coincide, then it is this person who will become a legal spouse in the near future.
New Year's fortune-telling is traditionally divided into two categories - comic and more serious. Amusing rituals were perceived with less responsibility, were carried out by large companies and were mainly of an entertainment nature.
Serious fortune-telling, which involves contact with dark forces or the souls of the dead, was carried out in complete silence. Such rituals were carried out alone so that nothing would interfere with mystical communication.
Special dates for fortune telling
In addition to ancient traditional fortune-telling, there are rituals that can be performed throughout the year, but only under certain circumstances. For example, if you want to know your financial situation in the near future, then rituals should be performed only on the full moon.
The 2nd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 10th, 12th and 13th days of the lunar month are also considered good times for predictions. Guessing on Saturdays and Fridays is highly discouraged. The only exception is the Christmastide period.
