cartomancy
Yule divination - a collective entertainment.The maps in the company is not interesting to speculate.This activity is for two, because a fortune teller is usually a long and detailed account of one man's future, past and present, and around this time might get bored.Yet, the demand for this kind of interpretation of the fate of this period is very large.Forecasters-tarot reader wishing to write to the queue for a certain hour, as tarot cards on the desire of the tarot deck is not available to many.It's a whole philosophy, but there are easier ways.Yule tarot cards French fortune teller Madame Lenormand much shorter and more accessible.Pictures depicting the ring road, the rats, the coffin, baby, sun, books and other objects and phenomena, quite clearly demonstrate that the questioner has prepared the coming year.

What wondered family people
Married women, wanting to know what sex the baby will be born, was poured into a large spoonful of water and froze it.In the morning, we watched, and if the ice turned convex, then a boy, if the concave - a girl, and even if it remains, therefore, addition to the family is not.Household
people do not forget about the daily bread and made forecasts for the entire year by months.To do this, we take 12 bulbs and just after the Christmas church service laid them in a row on the window sill.All vegetables are sequentially designated every month of the year.On January 19, they were treated.Wet designated rainy months, and dry - dry weather.Thus, it was possible to plan the work, such as roof repairs or planting.
Scary divination
Brave girl went to tell fortunes in the bath.There, according to legends, lived the spirit of dressing, which in the Christmas days could show her future husband girl.Air divination wish to Svyatka carried out at night, when everyone had gone to bed.She took with him two mirrors and a white bowl filled with water without a pattern.After removing all the clothes except the shirt, untie the knots and taking off neck pectoral cross, she reptile in the light of two candles, established a corridor of mirrors.Counting twelve reflections, she glanced at the plate with water and peered into it.Once there appeared a person, she had to immediately turn over all, and, grasping the cross, to escape from the bath.It was a very dangerous thing, as the sauna spirit could frighten to death curious and even suffocate if she hesitated.And such cases happened.
most desperate go to church.Guessing on the desire on the candles carried out as follows.Girls lit candles and placed them in front of the altar.According to the order in which they burned determined The order of the marriage.And deposit and cod candles judged on how marriage is.
Divination with fire
Candles used for another method of fortune-telling.So, lit a candle and a long, thin fast, without moving, holding a dish of water, until there is a small candle.Dripping wax create a variety of patterns.For their interpretation of remarkable imagination required.To help the bridesmaids should be calculated carefully.After all, each has its own destiny, and they may see something related to Me, and not to the one who was holding the candle, and willy-nilly distort prediction.
There is a very curious guessing on paper in the desire to know the main event beginning of the year.Prediction occurs in 3D-format.You will need a clean white wall and a large sheet of paper.Paper is necessary to crush a large soft ball, put on a tin tray and ignite.Lighting must be disabled, because the image is read in the shadows on the wall, who throws burning paper.To divination failed, try to spend it with a small sample of the paper.When make sure that the shadows are seen well, you can proceed to the main action.This divination desire precisely because subconsciously everyone knows their own destiny, but we do not always know how to use their own intuition.
Divination with glasses

Funny divination
Pets also participated in fortunetelling.In earlier times, we loved so-called bird divination.Wish come true, or not, depended on whether the chicken or rooster foot first crossed the threshold: if right, then the hidden come to pass, and if the left - no.Bird frightened noisy gathering of strangers, run away, she sprinkled grains, persuaded to go.
company of friends and girlfriends can be pretty fun, if you dare to divination with a large trunk filled with a wide range of utensils, or wardrobe.To help a child fortunetellers need five to seven years, which is not very well versed in the things.Youth blindfolded and takes the baby out of the closet various objects and asked: "This is whose?" Those who say, "My," untie the eye and give the selected item.When all the participants will be interviewed and are endowed with the things you can do of interpretation of the meaning.Since any Christmas divination applies only to the next year, the subjects define the main events of this period for each of the actors.Threads, belts, ties, shoes and a suitcase always foreshadow the road and traveling, the key - the purchase of real estate or a car, pants, inherited a girl, even if they are women, promises a new acquaintance with a man if the boy got a skirt, it will have a new girlfriend, glassesand bottles indicate many celebratory feasts with alcohol, tableware - to communicate with friends and guests, beautiful jewelry and expensive furs - wealth, socks, sneakers, unpresentable things - poverty, the book - to study, arms symbolizes war toysherald the birth of a child or pregnancy, and so on. d.
Guessing on the books
To do this, take six folios of different subjects, such as the Bible, fairy tales, novels and some reference books.Questions are formulated approximately as follows: "What I need to do or what to do for my desire?", "What is for me the most important this year?", "How will my professional life?", "What's going to happen in my personal life? '.Without looking, is taken and that opens.Then, still without opening his eyes, finger indicates the place where he wrote a prophetic text.He should read and comprehend.The subjects of the book points to the main concern of the coming year, and the selected text is a response to a direct question.
Modern divination
With the transition to the new style calendar there are new ways of divination, such as New Year's divination.The desire to make plans in advance, and the beat of Moscow chimes recorded on the sheet ignited and thrown into a glass of champagne.During bursts of fireworks all clink glasses, hugging and drinking champagne with the ashes.In order to work out this New Year fortune-telling, the desire must not only have time to write and swallow, it is important that the paper is completely burned, and the ashes did not wake up on the tablecloth.This ritual is usually very animates feast.Not everyone believes in its effectiveness, so laughing, looking at how their friends are scurrying around, count on such magic.With this guessing very lucky residents of the Kaliningrad region.Recently, they hear the chiming clock of the Moscow Kremlin and the speech of the President twice, because to them the new year comes after all in Russia.Accordingly, guessing on the desire of doing a paper twice.The second time, they are usually better prepared - and matches on hand, and the paper is not very rigid and not too light (that burned quickly and shattered before the fall into the glass).In general, guessing at every desire can be only once, or will appear contradictory answers and can be confusing.Although, if you treat it as a joke, a game about fun, then why not ...
Christmas traditions and rituals - a good excuse to vary the routine of everyday life, renew fellowship with old friends, make new acquaintances.Such traditions should be protected and nurtured.Many will say that any magic - a dangerous occupation, no accident Church condemns fortune telling and divination wish on Christmas time, but do not treat this seriously and very much afraid of such a sin.There are worse things.Think of the Christmas game with a bit of humor.Our ancestors, after playing with the fate of at Christmastime, in the night from 18 th to 19 th of January plunged into Epiphany font, thus washing away the sins of a two week holiday.After this, the ordinary life with its prime concerns and interests, and Christmas time remained in the memory of bright and funny episode.
