Fortune telling in a baptism in a dream. Epiphany fortune-telling, ways at home just

In Israel, doves are released on baptism as a symbol of the Holy Spirit. In Italy, thousands of people dress up as old women and carry bags full of cloth and gifts for children in the streets. In Ukraine, everyone plunges into an ice hole, and some also wonder! And there are so many ways to know the future on Epiphany evening that you can just get confused. We have prepared for you the TOP-5 of the most popular, truthful and, most importantly, simple ways of divination. Choose the perfect option for yourself, and perhaps you will finally get the answer to the question that worried you for so long!

On the egg squirrel

This fortune-telling is not in vain very popular, because it does not require special expenses, efforts and, even more so, complex rituals. Just take one egg, put it in a cup of water and pour the protein there. Then hide this “potion” for three hours in a secluded place, so that later, when the protein coagulates, you can see your future from the resulting pattern. But how to interpret the resulting pattern depends only on your imagination. And most importantly - do not peep! :)

On a prophetic dream

And while many hang dream traps in the bedroom, we will invoke dreams, and not ordinary ones, but prophetic ones! To do this, before falling asleep, say out loud the magic phrase “Saint Samson, show a festive dream!” And think about what exactly you want to know. There are many options: what does your betrothed look like, how many children will you have, or when will you get married. After these words, the most important thing is not to talk to anyone and try to fall asleep as soon as possible.

For the future in three ways

To find out what exactly awaits you next year, especially on the love front, take only three things: a hat, a piece of bread and any wooden item. Fold them into a common container and mix well. Then close your eyes, make exactly three turns around the container with your hand and take out the first object that comes across:

The hat bodes soon marriage

Bread - walk you "in the girls" this year

The tree is for trouble

For the future by the shadow of burnt paper

On Epiphany night in absolute darkness, put a sheet of paper on a saucer and set it on fire. Then look carefully at the shadow that the fire will form. Try to "read" his message, because according to popular beliefs what he will show is waiting for you very soon. Your imagination will help you interpret shadow patterns!

Fortune telling for a year

And our top closes with fortune telling, which will help you find out about upcoming events for the whole year ahead! Take six glasses and pour a little water into each of them, and then put one object at a time: a coin, salt, sugar, a piece of bread, a ring and a match. During the ceremony, pronounce: “Salt to tears, sugar to sweet life, bread to satiety, coin to wealth, a ring to a wedding, and a match to a child.” After that, mix the glasses and, with your eyes closed, touch one of them. What will be inside this glass, wait for that next year!

The great holiday, which is traditionally celebrated on January 19, is considered very powerful, and all Epiphany fortune-telling is completely true. Moreover, even the most lazy do not need to do anything, it is enough just to mentally ask a question before going to bed, which will certainly be prophetic. And for those who are interested in various rites, an exciting night awaits, full of secrets and curious knowledge.

Rules of the rites

If a girl decides to conduct a ceremony, then she should know about some rules that are characteristic of almost all fortune-telling:

the ideal venue for the event will be a non-residential premises: a bathhouse, a barn, a canopy, an attic or at least a room with access to the balcony;
when leaving home, no one should be told exactly where you are going;
in the room where the ceremony is held, there should be no animals, especially cats;
a fortuneteller must take off her belt, crosses and untie all the knots on her clothes, loose her hair;
if fortune-telling is carried out for sleep, then a candle is put in the head of the head;
it is best to wait for the darkness when the light comes on in the windows.

These rules are not one dozen years old and even today they are not treated with the same credulity as before, but grandmothers are still not worth ignoring the instructions, because they certainly knew more than us.

Did you know?The most truthful type of fortune telling in the 18th-19th centuries was considered to be fortune telling on a crystal ball. However, only representatives of the aristocratic nobility could use this service, since the salons were quite expensive.

Fortune telling on the night of Epiphany

There is no more interesting question for young girls than the question of their future husband. They look out for their betrothed in mirrors, dreams, and even in reflection on the water, although there are many other ways to find out about your soul mate. Let's consider some of them.

On the shoe (boot)

This is probably one of the most ancient and common ways to find out which side the bridegroom will come to the bride from. All that is required of the girl is to remove one shoe (or boot) and go beyond the threshold of the house, throw it through itself into the street. Where the toe of the shoe will be deployed, in that direction she will go married. If the shoe rests against the building with a sock or another obstacle - this year you should not wait for matchmakers.

In a dream

So that the bridegroom comes to you during sleep, before going to bed comb one side of the head, and leave the other not combed, saying "My beloved, mumbled, comb me." According to legend, on the night of January 19, many women really saw their future husbands.

Another option of "sleepy" fortune-telling requires the construction of a well from sticks or just placing a container of water under the bed. The fortunetelling girl takes any key and pretends to lock the well, after which she puts the key under her pillow saying: “Narrowed-faced, come your horses to drink, but do not forget to ask me for a key.”

Mirrors and candles

Fortune-telling with the use of mirrors and candles is considered the most mystical, because you never know exactly what will appear in the mirror. If you take this rite too seriously or are particularly sensitive, then it is better not to resort to it, otherwise what you see in the reflection may scare you.

In preparation for fortune telling, it is necessary to place two mirrors in parallel so that the reflecting sides are directed at each other, and place candles between them on both sides so that they form an illuminated corridor.

After some time, at the end of the resulting tunnel, the narrowed one will appear, although you never know exactly who will appear from the wizarding world. Given the mystical power of mirrors, one must be very careful with them so as not to accidentally disturb the dark forces.

Find a stranger

The most simple and harmless fortune-telling. In order to find out what her husband will be called, the girl leaves the house and asks for the name of the first man she met. According to popular beliefs, her betrothed will be called in the same way, and it is likely that he will even look like a stranger met.

Nutshell boat

Another way to find out the name of the future spouse is based on the use of a nutshell. Pour water into a small container and place the shell with a small candle inside. Along the edges of the selected bowl, place the double-folded pieces of paper with the male names written on them and three times around the makeshift boat with a spoon on the water (against the clock hand). After that, you need to light a candle and see which leaf the shell will float to.

Important!The water should be driven as carefully as possible so as not to touch the shell with a spoon, otherwise fortunetelling will be considered untrue.

Fortune telling

In addition to unmarried girls, married women, and sometimes even men, want to know their future. Of course, fortune-telling on the narrowed one will be inappropriate in this case, so we offer you the following group of possible rituals that help to know the fate of a person.

On the chain

Gold jewelry was always endowed with a special mystical power, many opportunities were attributed to them. It was believed that gold can cause love feelings and even talk about the near future of its owner, as it is nourished by its energy while wearing. That is why fortune telling on a gold chain was relevant even in the time of our grandmothers.

This rite is best done late at night, when all the household members fall asleep. The fortuneteller needs to sit at the table and take a howl chain and rub it in his hands for a while (it should feel warm). After that, grip the jewelry in the fist of your right hand, shake it and throw it on the table. The product should form a certain figure, which they try to interpret.

Interpretations may be as follows:

circle - difficulties awaiting a person in the near future, a problem that is difficult to solve;
continuous flat strip - symbolizes luck in the near future;
tangled ball - life difficulties, possibly illness;
a triangle (appears infrequently) - a huge success in any endeavors, in particular, in affairs of amorous;
bow - a harbinger of an imminent wedding;
a snake is a warning about possible betrayal by relatives or acquaintances, so next year you should not trust anyone especially;
the heart is a sign that you are loved, and this love can bring peace and tranquility to your soul.

Important!Before proceeding to fortune telling, be sure to remove the cross, icon or other religious symbol from the chain and draw a circle around it.

Mirror and carafe with water

A very simple fortune-telling that does not require long preparation. For the ceremony, you will need only a glass carafe with water, candles lit on three sides of it and a mirror located behind the vessel. In this mirror you need to look through the decanter, and what you see there will come true in the near future.

7 glasses

In this case, you will need 7 identical glasses and objects-symbols laid out on them. For example, salt will mean sadness and tears, sugar - sweet life, bread - satiety, a coin - material well-being, a ring - a quick marriage, a match - the birth of a child, a grain - hard work.

After that, close your eyes and swap glasses to make it difficult to determine their contents. By choosing one of them on a hunch, you will receive a prediction for the whole coming year.

Branches of spruce and mirror

Before midnight on January 18, prepare an average mirror and 3-4 spruce branches. Before going to bed, all this needs to be placed under the bed, but only so that the branches are on all sides of the reflecting object. On top of the mirror surface you should write your most cherished desire (you can use a marker), and if in the morning it disappears or is poorly visible, then we can hope for the speedy execution of what was planned.

Fortune telling on straw

This baptismal fortune-telling is not particularly suitable for urban conditions, but once in the villages it was quite popular. The girl who wanted to know her fate needed to become her back to the omelet and, throwing her head back, choose one of the straws hanging from the heap. The selected straw was tightly seized with teeth and gently pulled. If on the other hand there was a spikelet on it, it means that wealth ahead with a rich husband was waiting for her, and a bare straw indicated poverty and life with a poor man.

In order not to break off the spikelet, they deliberately tried to pull it very slowly. Alternatively, you can tell fortunes on tangled straw. To do this, several girls need to get together and take a bunch of straw to try to whip it as much as possible. Then the straw is thrown onto the table, and a frying pan filled with water with a stone in the middle is placed on top.

Each girl takes turns pulling out one straw and trying to make out the sounds coming from the stone that scrapes the bottom of the pan. In the old days, in these strange sounds, our grandmothers distinguished ordinary words with parting words for the coming year. For a company of several people, such fortune telling on straw is also suitable.

The fortuneteller must take an even number of straws (at least six) and tie them into a tight bunch. From both ends, all the straws (with and without ears) need to be additionally tied in pairs to untie the bundle to see what happened. If the pairs formed a continuous ring, then the fortuneteller will succeed next year, and if they have formed a broken chain or a pair of separate rings, then you will have to prepare for trouble.

Divination by wax

To predict fate with wax, you will need a wax candle and a small container of water. Light the candle and tilt it above the plate so that the wax drips onto the water, forming a specific pattern.

Important!The process can be accelerated by pouring immediately a large amount of melted wax into a bowl so that it forms a pattern not on the surface of the water, but at the bottom of the plate itself.

Small droplets of melted wax portend a speedy wealth, and large figures should be interpreted in form and similarity with known objects. For instance:

fan - portends problems at work;
grapes - promise good luck and prosperity in family life;
mushroom - indicates good health and long life;
dragon - the achievement of the desired, the implementation of the plan;
the bell is news, and if it has all the edges straight, then it will be good, and if there are irregularities, bends and curvature, you should expect bad news (if there are several figures of bells, you can judge if the fortuneteller has an alarm);
leaf from a tree - next to a fortuneteller there are envious people weaving intrigues behind him;
monkey - betrayal, lies and the presence of falsehood in relations with friends and acquaintances;
pants are an upcoming life choice.

To do this, you just need to hang the ring on a thread, just place it not over the stomach, but over the right hand, while holding it in the left. All fingers should be spread out, and the ring itself is first passed three times between the index finger and thumb and only then placed above the center of the palm. If it revolves in a circle - a girl, moves from side to side - a boy.

Once you understand what the jewelry does, lower it three times between your fingers again and do the same. This continues until the ring stops moving above the arm. How many times she moved, so many women will have a woman.

Did you know? It is the man who is responsible for the sex of the unborn child, since the female egg always carries only the X chromosome, while the male can be divided into X and Y chromosomes, respectively responsible for the birth of a girl or boy.

Sometimes the answer to the question “who will be born?” Can be obtained in a dream. Going to bed on the night of January 19, mentally ask him to your guardian angel. Whoever dreams is born.

There is also a variant of similar fortune-telling, when the answer to the question posed to the angels is expected within a week, and you can learn about it not only during sleep.

Handful of grain

Fortune telling on grains is one of the simplest and most accessible at any time, so it is not surprising that on Epiphany night it becomes even more relevant. To find out how many children you will have, you need to mentally ask yourself this question, with the assumption of the number of kids, and then use your left hand to take out a handful of groats from a liter jar and count the grains. If there are an even number of them, then you guessed it, and an odd one will have to try again.

Water mug and ring

Pour water into an ordinary mug (not to the brim and better than a saint), tie a thread (preferably red) to the ringlet and lower the jewelry into the water, while mentally asking yourself the question: “How many children will I have?”. Now carefully remove it and place it next to the wall of the cup, holding the thread. The ring will move and easily knock on the edge of the container, how many times it touches, so many babies will be in the woman.

To believe or not to believe in all these fortune-telling is everyone's personal business. But do not take them too seriously, you should treat them as entertainment - and then in case of a mismatch between the predictions of reality, you will not be disappointed.

Video: divination at Epiphany night

Another name for the Epiphany is Epiphany. On this day, according to Christian teaching, God appeared as God the Father - in a voice that came from heaven, as the Son of God - in the flesh of Jesus, who was baptized in the Jordan River, and as the Holy Spirit - in the form of a dove.

Our ancestors piously believed: at midnight on this day miracles happen: absolute silence reigns on the Earth, water in the rivers stops its flow, and heaven opens. Belief in the miraculous has inspired people to fortune-telling from ancient times. To this day, fortune-telling related to Baptism is not forgotten and does not lose its relevance.

How did our ancestors guess?
Safe fortune telling
Fortune telling
Fortune telling on the bulb
Fortune telling on frozen water
Dangerous fortune-telling

When can and when not to guess?

The period from Christmas to Baptism is called Christmas time, and it was on these winter days that our ancestors divined even before the adoption of Christianity. It was believed that in this mysterious time, spirits descend to Earth that can answer exciting questions and even fulfill wishes.

It is advisable to ask questions about personal life, about the health of loved ones, about the financial situation, about adding to the family on the eve of Baptism, that is, on the evening of January 18. At this time, you can get the most clear and truthful answers about your future, up to the name of the narrowed and the number of children.

Important! Wedding ceremonies are allowed only until midnight, that is, before the holidays. Since ancient times, there has been a ban on fortune-telling after 00:00, which was strictly observed by God-fearing Russian girls.

Thus, those who did not have time to tell fortunes during the period of Christmas time and before the start of the Epiphany day will have to postpone fortune-telling for a whole year.

How did our ancestors guess?

Since ancient times, girls in villages have been guessing on shoes. Going beyond the outskirts, they removed the shoe from the left foot and threw it as far in front of them as possible. The sock of the shoe was supposed to indicate the side where the betrothed would come from, in order to pick up her bride from her father’s house. If the shoe was turned with his toe to his native village - this meant that the fortunate not to see marriage this year.

On the eve of Baptism, the girls came one by one to the doors of the locked church and listened to the sounds coming from inside. If it seemed to a girl that she heard a ringing of a bell, this prophesied a fast wedding, and a thud signified the death of one of those close to her.

The following custom was popular not only among girls, but also among boys. They went out in a crowd in the street and asked passers-by for names. It was believed that this is what the future chosen one or darling will be called.

Safe fortune telling

Fortune telling without the use of black magic is considered safe. They will not cause any harm, even if all the rules of the rite are not followed. In this case, the answer may be incorrect, but nothing bad will definitely happen.

Fortune telling

Toward midnight, the girl begins to sweep a narrow path in her room, perpendicular to the front door. You need to notice this: movement to the left, movement to the right, while the movement to the left should be directed towards the door.

For 1 minute before midnight, you must say: “Narrowed-faced, appear before me!” The experience of fortunetellers promises that for a moment you can see in front of you the image of your future chosen one. It can appear in the form of a silhouette or a face, making out which you can even recognize one of the contenders for a hand and heart.

Important! The image of the betrothed will never appear if you will be fortunetellers with your friends or just be not alone in the room.

Do not be afraid to be completely alone, because fortune telling is completely safe. But one should not look in the mirror during the ceremony: there you can see a false image, distorted and even frightening.

Fortune telling on the bulb

If you have several applicants for your hand and heart, simple bulbs will help you make the choice on the eve of Epiphany. We pin with a needle on each bulb a leaf with the name of the applicant, put them in a glass of water. A bulb that sprouts faster will indicate someone whose desire to be your husband is more persistent and whose love is stronger.

Fortune telling on frozen water

This fortune-telling is conducted when a married woman is concerned about the issue of future motherhood. You need to take your wedding ring and lower it into a container of water. Set on Epiphany frost before midnight, and in the morning to evaluate the result. If the surface of the frozen water is flat, then additions to the family should not be expected. The tubercles on the surface mean the imminent birth of a son, and the notches - the daughter.

How can you not guess at baptism?

To get a reliable result, you should adhere to the following recommendations during fortune telling:

· Do not guess the same question repeatedly;

· Only women who have never been married to guess at a betrothed;

· All home rituals are carried out alone; street ceremonies can be carried out in a company;

Fortune-telling with holy water once, without wasting it in vain;

· You can’t breed holy water ordinary;

· Guessing only by candlelight, while the sources of artificial light must be extinguished;

· You cannot make the same desire repeatedly;

· One cannot make wishes aimed at the destruction and illness of one of the living.

Dangerous fortune-telling

From ancient times, rituals with mirrors were considered dangerous fortunetelling. And until now, magicians claim that the mirror connects our reality with the other world, and through this entrance, spirits and ghosts can penetrate the world of the living.

Incorrect fortune-telling can bring troubles not only to the fortuneteller himself, but also to his surroundings, in particular, to residents of the house where the ceremony is held. Therefore, you should not joke with such things, and if you decide to fortune-telling with a mirror - follow all the rules.

In a room with one door, put a mirror in front of it - two candles. Place the second mirror opposite: it will be behind your back. Toward twelve in the morning turn off the light and light candles and sit in front of the mirror. Peer into the reflection behind you, but in no case do not look back. An image of a future chosen one may appear in the rear mirror. Do not put out the candles until the image disappears.

Other fortunetelling is a danger, fortune telling in the bathhouse. Our ancestors were convinced that it was in the bathhouse that unclean forces dwell. On the night of January 18-19, they undressed and talked about conspiracies in the bathhouse. Then they approached the blower and removed stones from the ash. One stone promised a lonely life. Two to two children in the future. Three stones prophesied an early wedding, which, however, would not be the beginning of a happy family life, but would bring sorrow to the girl's life. Four stones foreshadowed quarrels with the mother-in-law. Five stones were considered a great success: they predicted well-being in family life and a good financial situation. Six stones were feared like fire: it was a sign of misfortune.

How to protect yourself during fortune telling?

Our ancestors did not even doubt that on the last night of the Christmas time an unclean force walks around the Earth and tries to penetrate residential buildings in order to harm people.

Fortune-telling, like any magical rites, helps attract spirits, both good and evil. Therefore, the protection of your home tonight will not be superfluous. To prevent evil spirits from entering the dwelling, crosses should be drawn with chalk on the window frames and on all doors.

From ancient times there is a tradition of swimming in the baptismal font, but today not everyone has such an opportunity. Instead, it is advisable to wash yourself after divination with holy water, or even just go to the shower to wash off negative energy.

The werewolf “Fiery serpent”, which is a girl in the form of a beautiful youth, is especially dangerous on Epiphany night. They say that if the "Fire Serpent" falls in love with a girl, this love is incurable forever. “If you do not love, you will love, without praising, you will praise,” warn the old ladies of young girls about the appearance of a handsome man. "He knows how to deceive, the villain, the soul. He knows how to make speeches. He will play, a ruthless, girlish heart, stomp the girl in a hot embrace. The girl burns with a rosy dawn from his kisses. Without him, the girl sits in anguish, dries herself without him ...". You can protect yourself from the handsome werewolf by drawing a cross on the door or pouring snow collected on the baptismal stove on the barn.

But for lack of stoveplugs in modern apartments, we advise you to wash yourself with snow water in the morning of the day of Epiphany: as you can see, from this “there are whites without whitewash, without blush rosy”. You can not limit yourself to washing, but try swimming in the hole. It has long been a tradition in Russia to swim in the ice hole at Epiphany, despite the fact that Epiphany frosts were considered the most severe.

How do baptismal fortunetellers predict the future? Why can one see the past from them and how do they look into the souls of people, guessing the thoughts and feelings of both those present and those who are far from us? Why, wondering about a distant friend, do you so clearly see what is being done in his soul? All these questions have no answer. We believe fortune telling at Baptism 2018 and entrust our fate to them in order to receive true answers to our questions.

1. Fortune telling in Baptism:

1. Take 6 small glasses, pour a little water into them. In turn, put them in the cups (so that there is something in each cup) - salt, sugar, a piece of bread, a piece of money (coin), a ring, a match.
Salt - to tears, to grieve ...
Sugar - a sweet life, successful in the year
Bread - bread, full life of the year
Money - to the money of the year
Ring - marriage / marriage of the year
The match is for the child.
Then, in turn, they blindfold and approach and choose a glass. With what they pull out - this is the forecast for the coming year!
The most truthful - the first time, you can stretch the second time - it’s like the background of the year.
Almost everything comes true for me !!!

2. One of the most common ways is to throw a shoe over the gate. But since it’s not very good with the gate now, and who may be behind the gate, it’s not known, this method is rarely used. And before, it was possible to know with certainty which side the narrowed one would come from.

3. Eavesdropping. Climb to Baptism under the window of neighbors and listen. If they have a showdown with a dishwashing, the year will you know what. If the house is quiet - and your year will be harmonious.

4. Fortune telling in dreams. They put a comb or a tambourine king under the pillow and make up so that the narrowed one dreams. If a girl really wants to get married, she will certainly dream of someone.

5. At the time when everyone is gone, the girl takes a broom or a broom and begins to revenge the room. Each time, swinging to the right, she says a prayer, and swinging to the left, she utters a curse with the name of evil spirits. Then he makes the line coal in the middle of the floor and becomes to the right, that is, to the place marked with prayer. Then he pronounces the following: "Narrowed-burdened, come before me like a leaf in front of grass."

6. Fortune telling at Epiphany 2018. Before midnight, prepare a medium-sized mirror and several fir branches. Before going to bed, put a mirror under the bed, lay out fir branches around it. On the mirror write your innermost desire. If in the morning the inscription on the mirror disappears, then your desire will come true.

7. Fortune telling for true love at Epiphany 2018.
The more accurately the question is asked, the more accurate you will get the answer. Therefore, the question must be clearly formulated. Otherwise, you can get confused and even do harm.
A simple rule for simple questions: formulate a question so that it can be answered (mentally) "yes" or "no."
Try to translate all negative questions into positive ones: not "how do I return it?", But "is it worth it to return?"; not “what will bother me?” but “what will help me?”
One more recommendation: do not ask cards silly questions. The question should be clear to the cards.
1. You take a deck of 36 cards and think about your beloved from the very beginning of fortune telling. Shuffle a deck of cards.
2. Put in front of you six cards face down from left to right. Put another six cards (also open) under this row.
3. If in the obtained solitaire two cards of the same value lay diagonally, then immediately remove them from the layout. In the remaining places, put new cards from the deck (starting from the top row from left to right). If they are of the same value, then take it away again.
4. Spread the third row, remove the extra cards. Then - the fourth, fifth, etc.
5. After - again collect the entire deck, starting from the end. Then again repeat the points from the 2nd to the 5th, BUT - the row must be made of five, then four, three and two cards.
6. Count the number of remaining pairs of cards. Their meanings:
One pair - the made friend of the heart wants to marry you. All you have to do is not miss your chance.
Two couples - he loves you and, most likely, crazy!
Three pairs - he likes you.
Four couples - he yearns for you.
Five couples - he thinks of you.
Six pairs - CHANGE!
Seven pairs - unfortunately, now he does not think about you. Maybe you tell a fortune about him another time?

8. Fortune telling on straw
The girls stood with their backs to the thrower and chose one of the straws hanging from above, their heads thrown back. The straw that you liked needed to be firmly grasped with your teeth and carefully pulled out. If there was an ear on the other end, it means that the girl will marry the rich, if the ear breaks off, it means that all her life she will grieve with the poor. Therefore, they tried to pull the straw slowly so that the spike did not break.
It was possible to tell fortunes on confused straw. Several girls got together and kneaded, whipped a pile of straw brought into the house. A straw ball was laid on the table, and a pan with water was placed on it, at the bottom of which a stone lay. Then each girl pulled out a straw. This was not so easy to do, because all the straws were tightly twisted and pulled out with difficulty. The straw rustled, the water spilled over the edge, and the stone scraped along the bottom of the pan. The girls listened to these strange sounds and guessed human speech in them.
In a large and noisy company, they had a different guess on straw. The fortuneteller took an even number of straws (at least six) and tied them into a bundle. Then, in pairs, he tied ears of corn at one end, and straw pellets at the other. Then the bundle was untied in the middle and looked what happened. If pairwise connected straws formed a continuous ring, fortuneteller was waiting for great luck. If an open chain or several separate rings came out, then - wait for trouble in the new year.

9. Fortune telling at Epiphany 2018
Fortune telling should be done alone.
About 12 hours, lock the door, lower the curtains, lay a clean tablecloth, put two devices on the table, light a candle, sit at the table in front of one of the devices, put a piece of incense on both plates and start reading the fortune-telling plot, with your right hand one device, then from another take a piece of incense on the table, and put the other under the pillow. Go to bed, the dream will be prophetic: what you have guessed, you will see.
They get along with incense in the church,
At home they rule the disease,
Under Epiphany they are guessing at him.
Incense, incense, it would be alright
Fortune tell you, learn the whole truth.
How are you, incense father
Clean, holy and honest so
And my dream be true. Amen.
The most true, in spite of all kinds of fortune-telling and predictions, come to church, light a candle and say: “Lord, if there is my soul mate pleasing to you, let it be with me” or “Lord, take away all the superfluous and send the one you need.” And she’ll definitely come, this half will be announced. Even if you have to wait a bit for this.
If the problem of the groom is not the only thing that worries you or you are also married for a long time, then you can get answers to the most burning questions.
To do this, you need to tie the ring to the thread, take the thread at the other end and rest your elbow on the table, hold the ring over the candle flame and mentally ask him any questions. If the answer is affirmative, the ring will begin to swing towards you - from you, and if no - from right to left.
In the feast of the Baptism of the Lord, many beliefs related to the fate of man are associated in popular Russia.

10. How to draw your happiness?
Do the next on the rising moon for nine nights in a row.
Light a red or scarlet candle. On a piece of red colored paper, write your full name, starting at the bottom of the sheet. Above your name write the full name of the person you want to seduce and bewitch, write down his or her date of birth even higher, and finally, on the top line, your date of birth. Draw a heart around the inscription, so that all names and dates are written inside the drawing. Above, above the image of the heart, again write the names and dates of birth in the same order. Repeat this three times in succession. You will get a drawing of three hearts located one above the other, and six repeated inscriptions of names and dates. Do not forget that you need to write and draw from the bottom up. Then crumple the leaf and set it on fire with a candle. Put a burning sheet on a saucer or in an ashtray.
While burning, say three times:
Burn the shining flame
red fire is the color of desire.
For 10-15 minutes or more, observe the light, thinking about the purpose of your witchcraft. Then extinguish the candle, in no case blowing it out. On the last, ninth night, leave the candle to burn out.

Someone believes in the power of fortune-telling at Epiphany 2018, and someone considers it a terrible sin. But everyone has their own opinion on this. We recommend reading how to make a wish for Baptism so that it comes true.
