Old fortune telling for Christmas
Fortune telling 1: Shadow from the ashes
Light a candle and turn off the light. Then take a piece of paper, crumple it, put it on a saucer and set it on fire. When the leaf burns down, bring the candle to the plate from different sides and guess from the silhouette of the ashes what awaits you: a new home or love. It is in your interests that something pleasant appears to you.
Fortune telling 2: Matches
Take a matchbox. Take 2 matches out of it and insert them on the sides of the matchbox so that they hold well. Make a wish for a person who interests you, and then light two matches. When the matches burn out, explain what their position means. If the burnt match heads are turned towards each other, you will be together.
Fortune telling 3: Guests
If after the New Year the dark-haired man will be the first to enter the house, you will be drowning in money all year, you will get married successfully and buy a lot of beautiful things. If the first guest is a woman, you will have to suffer from unhappy love and watch stupid TV series in the coming year. You can also guess for the old New Year.
Fortune telling 4: Apples
This fortune telling comes from the Czech Republic. Needed after a festive dinner take an apple and cut it crosswise. If the bones are not cut into pieces, then happiness and success await you in the next year.
Fortune telling 5: Name in the night
On New Year's Eve, you need to leave the house with your girlfriends in an unknown direction... Each of the girls needs to ask the unknown man what his name is. The future husband will be called by this name.
Fortune telling 6: Where will you go
You need to go outside with your friends and blindfold yourself. After that, let your friends promote you, and then see which way you go. If in the direction from home, then marriage awaits you this year.
Fortune telling 7: Boot
You need to take your boot off your foot on the street and throw it away. Now find him. If the toe of the boot points away from the house, get ready for a wedding.
Fortune telling 8: Threads
If you are concerned about the question “Who will get married first?”, then fortune telling by threads will come to the rescue. You need to take several multi-colored threads of the same length and set them on fire at the same time. Whose thread burns out faster, that girlfriend will get married faster.
Fortune telling 9: Hat
There is a simple fortune telling that can captivate all guests. You need to collect a lot of small objects from everyone, put them in a hat and let everyone pull out one. Everyone can interpret it together. Money, keys, keychains, condoms, jewelry, wine corks, and candies will be used. Don’t put pills, hairpins or candy wrappers in your hat!
Fortune telling 10: Eavesdropping
A simple way to predict your future is to listen to what the neighbors are talking about under someone else's door.
From what you hear, you can find out whether you will be a lucky disco queen in the coming year, or whether you will have to work like Papa Carlo all year, forgetting about your personal life. You shouldn't miss your destiny - choose the door behind which cheerful and rich people live and often negotiate on a mobile phone.
Fortune telling 11: Book
A way that every girl knows - fortune telling from a book. Nowadays, it makes more sense to tell your fortune on a magazine. You wish on a page and a line, and voila - fate on a silver platter.
Fortune telling 12: Coffee beans
Take a full handful of coffee beans. You will need a friend - she will pronounce different words and concepts indiscriminately. And you will put the grains on the table one after another. The word that will sound when you put the last grain on the table will become a prediction for you.
Fortune telling 13: Dog (cat)
If there are living creatures in the house, then call them for help. Put some tasty food and something inedible (a spoon, a keychain), place a saucer of water and a mirror next to it. If the animal eats, you will be married to a rich and generous man. If it drinks, you may get a husband who is partial to alcohol. And if you look in the mirror, your future husband will turn out to be a narcissistic person who is inattentive to you. You can interpret other subjects yourself.
Fortune telling 14: Ice
Take a fairly deep plate and pour water. Then put it in the freezer to harden. When the water freezes, look at the surface of the ice: if it’s smooth, then a happy year awaits you; if it’s waves, then the year will be turbulent.
Fortune telling 15: Dreams
Before going to bed, you need to put the comb you just used to comb your hair under your pillow. You should definitely dream about your future husband!
Fortune telling 16: Incense
Another version of a long-standing fortune telling that will answer any question. Buy some incense from the church store. Incense looks like a pebble, and if you light it, it smolders and smells delicious. For fortune telling you will need 2 pebbles.
At night, lock the doors, turn off the lights, place two plates on the table, and put a piece of incense in each plate and light a candle.
Let your hair down and read the plot out loud:“They get along well in church with incense, at home they rule over illness, at Christmas they tell fortunes with it. Incense, incense, it would be nice for you to tell fortunes, to find out the whole truth. Just as you, incense-father, are pure, holy and honest, so be my dream truthful ".
At the same time, bring pieces of incense to the candle one by one. Then put one of the pieces under your pillow and watch the dream with the answer to your question.
Fortune telling 17: Mirrors
A girl sits down in the dark between two mirrors at midnight, lights candles and begins to peer into the “gallery of reflections” hoping to see her betrothed.
Fortune telling 18: Gender of the unborn child
Take a ring or a needle. Place the ring in a glass of water and pierce the wool with a needle. Then, a ring or needle suspended on a thread is slowly lowered near the hand of the one being told fortunes. If the object begins to make circular movements, a girl will be born, if pendulum-shaped, a boy will be born, if the object does not move, there will be no children this year.
Fortune telling 19: What awaits?
Put various items in a saucer, and then your friends will choose them.
Choosing an object means future life: ash - a bad life, a glass - a cheerful life, sugar - a sweet life, a ring - getting married, an onion - for tears, a golden ring - a rich life...
New fortune telling for Christmas
In our hectic days, it is not always possible to retire for fortune telling in a bathhouse. But for fortune telling, this is not a problem either! We offer you several modern options.
Fortune telling 20: Supermarket
Go with your friend to the supermarket: there you will close your eyes and select items from the shelves into the basket. A friend should help you so that you don’t bother anyone and don’t break anything. 12 items will mean your future.
Fortune telling 21: Radio
On any day of Christmas, wait until 12 o'clock at night, close your eyes and ask a question. Then turn on the radio. The song or DJ conversation you hear will be the answer to the question.
Fortune telling 22: Phone and sms
On Christmas night, as soon as 12 strikes, open the inbox on your phone. Read the seventh one. It will symbolize the coming year.
By calling you can find out if your wish will come true. Just make a wish, and then call the dark-haired man and ask: “Yes or no?”
And to find out the name of your future husband, you need to dial a phone number at random on New Year's Eve. Ask the man who answers the phone what his name is. Your husband will be called the same.
Fortune telling 23: Disco
At night for Christmastide you need to dress up and come for exactly one hour to a club or disco, and then order black coffee without sugar.
Note all the unusual things that will happen in this place. What attracts your attention will happen to you in the coming year. If a nice man meets you during this hour, it means that you will get married.
Fortune telling 24: Egg
Pour water into a glass and pour the white of a raw egg into it. Place the glass in a heated oven so that the whites curl. After this, take out the glass and carefully look at the resulting figure. Whatever it looks like is what awaits you in the new year.
Fortune telling 25: Fortune telling by nut shell
First, pour water into the basin. Along the edges of the pelvis, attach strips of paper with inscriptions-predictions (wedding, child, travel, money, new job, rich groom, love).
Then take half a walnut shell and fix the end of a candle in it. Light a candle and place the “boat” in the middle of the pelvis. From there, the shell should float to one of the notes on its own. But the dream will come true only if the paper, upon contact with the “ship,” lights up from the candle flame. This way you can predict the fate of each of your friends.
Fortune telling 26: Broken hearts
This Christmas fortune telling is more like a game- it is perfect for friendly Christmas and Yule gatherings.
Cut out heart-shaped figures from cardboard; the number of them should be 2 times less than the number of guests. Each of the hearts must be cut into halves in the most intricate way, clearly identifying male and female. Then the “broken hearts” are thoroughly mixed and handed to each guest at the entrance with the wish to find their soul mate.
Fortune telling 27: Christmas fortune telling with a knife
For this type of fortune telling, take a round cutting board with a diameter of about 30 cm. Write the answers to the questions along the edges of the circle:
“Yes”, “No”, “Be patient”, “Caution: there is an enemy nearby, hiding in the guise of a friend”, “Good news”, “Love letter”, “Good luck in your undertaking”, “Unexpected guest”, “ Love”, “Today’s tears will turn into joy tomorrow”, “Unexpected news”, “New love”, “An unexpected meeting”, “Travel”, “Important letter”.
Place a regular knife in the center of the circle and mentally ask a question.“Twist” the knife around its axis 3 times. One of the three messages that the tip of the knife will point to will be the answer to the question asked. Other answers may be the cause or effect of the question.
Fortune telling 28: Christmas fortune telling by snow
This is the simplest fortune telling for Christmas.
During fortune telling, you should not cross your arms or legs. It is better to remove jewelry, belt, and hair clips. The girl goes outside and lies down in a snowdrift. Then he gets up and leaves without looking back.
And in the morning you need to look at the trail: a hard crust predicts a strong husband, soft and smooth snow - a kind husband.
A deep mark marks several marriages, and if there is none left at all, you will not get married soon. If the mound is covered, the fortuneteller needs to be careful: danger awaits her next year.
Fortune telling 29: Fortune telling with a chain
When everyone is asleep, you need to take the gold chain, rub it between your palms, hold it in your right hand, shake it and throw it on the table. A circle has formed - closed troubles are expected; streak - luck; node - difficulties and illnesses; triangle - love success; bow – wedding; snake - betrayal; heart is love.
Fortune telling 30: On the king
Place four kings from a card deck specially designed for fortune-telling under your pillow and say the “spell”: “Betrothed-Mummer, dream about me in a dream!” Experienced fortune tellers claim that the future spouse will definitely appear in a dream, and always in the form of a king! With a crown on his head and a red robe.
Have you ever guessed for Christmas? Did it come true?
