On the night of December 12-13, it was customary in Ukraine to make fortune-telling - for the betrothed, for the fulfillment of a wish. We offer you TOP-5 ways to tell fortunes on the feast of St. Andrew
Women are very sensitive to energy and therefore each of them is a little bit of a witch. For example, with the touch of her hands, a woman is able to relieve the pain of people close to her, relieve anxiety; a shirt embroidered by her wards off troubles, and food cooked with love becomes a cure for all ailments.
Traditionally, on the night of December 12-13, when all Orthodox Christians honor the Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called, Slavic women gathered for bachelorette parties and divined on their betrothed. They say that answers to secret questions really came to those who observed fasting before the holiday, and also prayed fervently to the Holy Apostle the day before. Site editorial staff Kolobok.ua will tell you about the most effective ways to look into your future on St. Andrew's Day.
Sleep in hand
To find out the name of your future chosen one, you need to take a linen bag and put 12 notes in it. On 11, write male names (these can be arbitrary names or the names of men you know), and leave the twelfth blank. Place a bag under your pillow before bed. In the morning, take out one piece of paper from the bag, the name of your future husband will be written on it. If the piece of paper turns out to be empty, you should not think about an imminent wedding.
In addition, remember your dreams: your betrothed may dream of you tonight. For this to happen for sure, you need to take a handful of hemp seed and at midnight walk three times around your house, scattering the seeds and saying: “I, Saint Andrew, I sow hemp! Let me, God, know with whom to play the wedding. "
Fortune telling on mirrors
Only girls and women can guess on this night. It is important to fast at least one day before the fortune-telling. It is also recommended to be silent before and after (until the first roosters) of fortune-telling. Fortune-telling on water and mirrors was the most popular that night. To do this, you need to drive all pets out of the room: cats, dogs and birds. Also, men cannot be present during fortune-telling.
It is better to guess alone (but this requires strong nerves) or with one or two friends who should not look in mirrors or talk. Take two large mirrors and put them one opposite the other (one mirror is hanging on the wall, the other is at some distance). Light the corridor between the mirrors with two candles. If you watch long enough, you may see your betrothed at the end of this hallway.
Fortune telling on the water
To find out how your relationship with certain people will turn out, you can tell fortunes on the water. To do this, you will need a bowl of water and several sewing needles or tailor's pins of different sizes. Guess which of the needles is "assigned" to you, the rest will mean the people you are interested in. Lubricate the needles with any fat (or cream) and gently place them one by one on the surface of the water. Those who stay close to your needle will mean that the people "assigned" to them will remain in your life.
If two needles connect, it means a strong union, and possibly marriage. Remained lying on the surface, but at a distance from each other? Your connection is weakening. Have you gone to the bottom? It is highly likely that the relationship with these people will end. If your needle drowned, big changes await you in your life: perhaps it is new acquaintances, moving or changing jobs.
Divination on the wedding ring
You need to pull out a long hair from your head and hang a wedding ring on it - mothers, grandmothers, friends. Take a glass of water half filled with water and hold the ring over it, being careful not to move your hand. At some point, it will begin to move and hit the walls of the glass. It is necessary to count the blows until the ring stops. This way you can find out how old you will get married.
Fortune telling on matches
Using this method, you can find out whether your wish will come true or not. Take a box of matches and take out one match at a time, saying "will come true, will not come true." Whatever phrase falls on the last match, so be it.
They say that fortune-telling on the night of Andrew has magical powers only if you believe in them. Therefore, whether it will be an old game for you or a search for answers to intimate questions, it is up to you to decide. Harmony and love!
