D. And of course, it is often taken for divination Baptism Epiphany water.
little history
Night Baptism in the last century in the Russian countryside was considered special.The old year is gone, and the new was just beginning, the future was dark and uncertain.By rituals predicting people and tried to clarify their lives.
Of course, the Christian church ceremonies like never approved.Guessing before baptism, just as in any other time, it was considered a sin.Therefore, our ancestors, before proceeding with any action related to the prediction, is usually removed from the cross and removed from the room all the icons.After the ritual must man was obmytsya baptismal water.Thus, he seems to be removed from itself, albeit small, but still a sin.
Some Epiphany divination were considered innocuous.Others are classified as "terrible", because they dare to spend much more.
Where and when to guess at Epiphany
Usually all predictions ceremonies held on January 18 in the evening or late at night.Such conditions divination allows associating a tranquil and yet mysterious atmosphere.In some cases, the rite should begin to hold only 12 o'clock in the morning.In other exact time has not been important.The main thing - the street was dark.
Sometimes predictions rituals were carried out on the street.This reptile should have somewhere to go: to the crossroads, at the cemetery, outside the village to the river, and so on. D. Others ceremonies were held in the house: in the upper room, in the porch or in the bedroom.So, how did our ancestors foretold his fate for the year on the night before baptism?Next, we consider the most interesting rituals, many of which are popular today.
Guessing on the mirror
This ritual prediction is considered one of the most dangerous.On it, of course, we heard many.After it, she could see her future fiance.To do this, you need to prepare in advance of divination two mirrors and two candles.Five to twelve on the night of Baptism should put a mirror in front of one, and the second - behind so that in the reflection turned away leaving the corridor.Around the first mirror must be placed two candles.You should also prepare a match and a piece of white cloth.
Held guessing on the mirror as follows.At exactly 12 midnight lit candles.With the battle hours reptile begins to look into the mirror "corridor", trying to see where her betrothed.Sometimes this conspiracy to pronounce, usually beginning with the words: "narrowing my fancy dress, come forth to me dressed up ...".
with the last word in the mirror of the alleged shadow should appear gradually take shape male figure.Razglyadevshy come face girl was immediately put out the candles on a mirror and throw a white cloth.Otherwise it could happen any trouble.It was believed that the image in the mirror appears narrowed by none other than the devil.It is also prohibited during the ritual, and look even more look in the mirror positioned behind the back.
Guessing with a candle and water
This ceremony was held earlier in order to learn their fate for the next year.For divination in this case, should prepare a candle and a wide lower bowl.Also, it was necessary to collect clean snow from the roof and melt it.This water may be replaced and the church, St.At midnight on Epiphany it was poured into a flat dish and set ourselves.Then lit a candle, waiting for the appearance of molten wax and pouring it into the water.In fact, what the figure was formed in the bowl, and determine their own fate for the coming year.
Wax "signs" in the water could get very different:
- asterisk denotes success in business and education;
- ovals and drops - the wealth;
- heart - love ";
- flowers - marriage and so on. D.
Related divination with a candle, some young people spend in our time, a little simplified ritual.In this case, the wax is not used, a plain paper.On it is written the desire, then it is ignited by the spark.Ash residues are placed in a cup with low sides.Highlighting their candle so that the shadows on the wall went to, we can determine their own destiny for the next year.
Guessing on ringlets
This kind of prediction as in the old days was very common.Guessing on the ring is usually carried out in order to find out how long still to go on the shelf.On the night of Baptism few girls gathered in a single room, spread out on the table a piece of black velvet and lit candles.Then each took off a ring from his finger and rolled it on the cloth.Where it stops and falls to make notes.That girl whose ring ukatyvayut furthest, was later to marry all.
By conducting this ritual as fortune-telling on the ring, and learned, how many years will take place the wedding.To carry out the rite of glass filled with water by 2/3.We asked married girlfriend at the time of the engagement ring.I hung it on your hair and gently lowered into the water.Then, as gently fetched, trying to move his hand as smoothly as possible.At the same ring on the hair begins to wobble.In fact, many times it hits the wall of the cup, to consider the remaining years of marriage.Modern girl with short hair cut can be replaced with a conventional thread.
prediction for the year
Learn their fate in the next 365 days and can be with conventional glasses.What do you think our ancestors, it is quite accurate divination.In addition, it is thus also quite fun.In addition to the glasses or some other small vessels to conduct the rite should be to cook a handful of salt, sugar cube, or a match stick, ring, coin and a piece of bread.After that, you should wait for the night.
conduct such divination for the year because:
- As soon as it gets dark outside, it should be put into each glass of any of the cooked items.
- Next wanting to tell fortunes blindfolded.
- anyone of byes after this rite several times swaps glasses.
- participants then blindfolded to the table and take the first available.
This divination person lets you know the fate of the most accurate.Bread in this ceremony represents a full life, a coin - a big profit, the match - a baby, a ring - marriage or marriage, salt - bad times, sugar - good luck.
Predicting the church
Guessing a year with water and candles, glasses and so on. D. Was considered sufficiently accurate.However, the most true to our ancestors seemed still "dire" predictions ceremonies.For example, guessing at the gate of the church.
wanting to learn their fate for the year at 12 o'clock on the night of Baptism had to go to the closed door of the church, and start listening.Of course, no physical sound at this time could not be inside.However, the subconscious reptile mysteriously responded to an unusual situation.As a result of conducting the ritual began to hear something other-worldly sounds.If it was "noise" wedding, so soon should expect to see in the life of the second half.If the door of the church heard the sound of the funeral service, it was a harbinger of things in the family of Gad during the year someone dies.The same is expected of a man resolved to such divination, and if from behind the door heard a thud.The wedding, in addition to the merry noise predicted as the ringing of bells.It's actually scary, but it was believed accurate divination.
prediction on someone else's talk
This method of divination was the majority of Slavic peoples is very common.On the night of Baptism of boys and girls came to the windows or doors of houses and other people's conversations overheard.Guessing on the fate thus also considered very truthful.Important it was everything.If a person is angry, it predicts the future quarrels and scandals in the family.If the home is fun, it meant coming good things.Also, make a prediction could be heard and the first sentence.Around the same way our contemporaries who trust all sorts of divination to learn the destiny of the lines in the book.
Prediction dream
Ways such divination our ancestors had many.Very interesting is the ritual, held as using mirrors.It is very simple and quite scary divination.The prediction in this case, making a small mirror - a subject has long been considered a mysterious and enigmatic.In the evening, he took out into the street and left there for some time.In addition, we cut a little fir branches.Before going to bed the mirror are entered into the house, and wrote on it with your finger, and his desire to put under the bed reflective layer up.Then his obkladyvali fir branches.In the morning mirror fetched and checked whether to keep the inscription.If not - then, the desire was soon fulfilled.
Another common way of getting information about the future in the dream was the use of four-card kings.Thus conducted divination husband.In order to find out what will be future husband, put the card in the evening of January 19, under the pillow.King dreamed peak meant imminent marriage to a person older than guessing age;King of clubs - the wedding of the business man or the military;diamonds - marriage with a familiar person;Hearts - a good marriage with a rich man.
Such guessing the person who shall subsequently become her husband, quite truthfully.Sometimes, however, the girl did not dream at all, none of the kings.In this case, it is in the morning just puts his hand under the pillow and pulled out the first available card.Meaning it solves the same way as described above.
Once in the villages there is another method of divination in their sleep.I want to see the future groom girl Do not brush the night and put a pillow next to the scallops.Before going to bed at the same time she had to repeat several times the following words: "Come to me betrothed, comb my hair."Sometimes such divination before baptism was performed in a different way.She ate a little salt and the whole evening did not drink water.Before going to bed, she said: "Come to me betrothed, give me to drink water."
predictions on grains
Very often in villages in ancient times carried out are quite interesting and divination.True predictions in this case, "doing" normal home cock.The owners, who want to know their fate for the next year, just scattered on the floor of the grain and ran into the house of a bird.Then we looked exactly how to behave in the cock.If it pecks whole grains - it means family in the coming year, waiting for luck.If you do not touch any - coming poverty and misery.
Several guessing on future husband
get any information about the narrowing can be other ways.For example, to find out about where he lives, to follow in the Epiphany night to go outside the village, take off the legs of boots or boots and throw it away in front of him.Then I had to go to him and see where the toe points.On the other side one would wait for matchmakers.If the toe pointed back - to the village, no wedding this year is not expected.
Guessing at her husband and carried out a little differently.To perform the rite should take an ordinary broom and start his revenge room.Waving his right, he had to pray, to the left - a curse.After sweeping the entire room should draw a line across the room with a piece of coal and stand on the right side of it.Next it was necessary to say: "narrowing-disguised, come forth in front of me."
Plots wealth
