Fortune telling by the clock (for Christmas)

If you still have an old wall clock in your house, preferably a mechanical one, you can use it to tell fortunes. Lock yourself in the room where you are going to tell fortunes, turn off the lights and close the curtains. It is important that the room is pitch dark, otherwise the ritual may not work. First, leave your desk lamp or night light on. Take the glass out of the watch and remove the hour hand. Turn off the lamp, feel for the arrow adjustment wheel and start turning it in any direction. Do it quickly. After counting to twelve, stop and turn on the lamp. Take a look at the clock, or rather, at the hand.

Pay attention to which number the arrow stops at. If it freezes between two numbers, choose the one to which it is closest. If the arrow is exactly in the center, give preference to the larger number.

Decoding fortune telling on the clock

If the arrow is on the number “1”, forget about changes. Life will proceed without shocks and surprises. This is a time of rest and relaxation, which, however, will not be as long as we would like.

The arrow on the number “2” means that you should be examined by doctors as soon as possible. It is possible that your excellent condition is deceptive, and a disease is waiting for you on your doorstep that needs to be prevented right now.

The arrow at three o'clock foreshadows the successful completion of the work begun. But you shouldn’t rely on simple luck - success doesn’t come on its own. Only hard work and perseverance will help you achieve your goal.

An arrow stopping at the number “4” signifies imminent trouble. Be prepared to meet them fully armed, and only attentiveness and caution will help prevent them.

Five hours will mean quick enrichment. Luck and hard work, perseverance and caution will lead to the fact that you will have a lot of money, which, however, you will also have to save. Many crooks may pay attention to you.

The arrow on the number “6” is a dangerous sign. Soon troubles and misfortunes will fall on your head. Show extreme restraint and caution - only in this case will you be able to endure this truly black streak with dignity.

The number “7” means unprecedented career takeoff. Don't lose your head at the peak of success - this mountain is difficult to climb, but easy to fall. Concentrate all your strength, show all your talents to pass this test.

The hand at eight o'clock foreshadows conflict. Try not to get involved - be modest and calm, don’t run into a quarrel. If you are challenged, do not accept it. Curb your pride and maintain a measured rhythm of life.

Nine o'clock is the time of Darkness. You don’t control the situation, you don’t know what to do to change everything for the better. You're unlucky, but it's temporary. A few weeks, or maybe even days, will pass, and something will happen that will radically change your current situation.

If the arrow stops at the number “10”, be sure of your safety - no machinations of enemies will affect you, even indirectly. Calmness is the main thing in your situation. If you worry, you will harm yourself.

11 o'clock is the beginning of happy time. Wherever you go, new friends and pleasant acquaintances await you. Any struggle in the name of high goals, Honor and Good will be successful. Completely unexpected people, whose help you could not count on, will help you with this.

The number “12” is a wonderful sign. You are the star that others follow. You will become a major participant in future events, so choose your friends carefully. Only people who are truly devoted to you will be able to help you achieve noble goals.

New Year's and Christmas fortune telling using coffee grounds

New Year's morning is the most suitable time for such an interesting and mysterious activity as fortune telling by coffee grounds. But, you can use this type of fortune-telling on the Christmas holiday until the end of Christmas fortune-telling. Your imagination will tell you exactly how to interpret the patterns formed on a saucer of coffee grounds.

The ritual begins with manual preparation of coffee. Forget about the coffee maker and instant surrogates, and brew it the way our grandmothers and great-grandmothers did. Pour freshly ground coffee into a saucepan, add boiled water and cook. Wait until grounds form. Then you can drink it and talk about the topic that you want to clarify during fortune telling. A pleasant atmosphere will allow you to relax, and a casual conversation will help in the subsequent interpretation of drawings on coffee grounds. When only the grounds remain in the mugs, turn them over onto saucers. You need to make sure that the grounds remain liquid and flow freely around the edges. Place the mug upside down on the saucer and wait about ten minutes.

Only after this can you begin fortune telling. The grounds on the saucer should be divided into four even parts - they will symbolize the seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, respectively.

Interpretation of signs

Bubbles in the middle of the saucer indicate news or a letter. Pay attention to which side of the center they are on so you know exactly when it will arrive.

If any of the sides of the saucer is not dirty, with only one drop of coffee, then news or a visit will come from afar, and look carefully on which side of the thicket it is located - if on the left, then the news will come from the west, if on the right, then from the east.

Stars and dots predict the smile of Fortune. It is possible that you will win a large sum money. Crosses and circles are warning signs. If the thicket forms elevations, this means success in the intended actions, but if there are depressions and depressions next to them, obstacles may arise on the path to success, which can be quite unexpected (the narrow cracks passing through the elevations will tell you this). If you see beads scattered in a straight line, you can easily overcome these obstacles. Black lines indicate a favorable outcome of events.

You can predict the future using coffee grounds at any time, not just on New Year's Day. This fortune telling will help in any issues of your personal life, everyday life, and work. But remember - coffee grounds, like any way to look into the future, do not provide an accurate forecast. It only tells us which direction we should go.

To find out the name of your bride or groom, put straw knocked into a lump on the table, place a frying pan on this lump, a stone on the frying pan and pour a little water. Then let each of the girls slowly take out a straw. The sound produced by the stone when it vibrates in the frying pan should indicate the name of the betrothed. During fortune telling, there should be absolute silence in the room.

Fortune telling by snow (for spouse). (Street fortune telling) They throw snow in one direction and wait until a dog barks in that direction. If the bark is rude, then the fortuneteller will marry an old man, a loud bark will marry a young man, and a muffled bark will marry a widower or divorcee.

Take two mirrors, large and preferably of equal size, set opposite each other, illuminated with two candles, so that in one of them a long corridor is formed, illuminated with lights. The fortuneteller must remove cats, dogs, birds and strangers from the room, except for one or two friends. They should not look in the mirror, approach the fortuneteller and talk. At the end of this corridor a narrowed one should appear; True, sometimes you have to look for a very long time, and you can see not only your betrothed, but also all sorts of evil spirits. However, the game is worth the candle!

You need to take as many apples as you have potential suitors, and scratch his initials on the bottom of each one. Then the fortuneteller must go out into the dark room with the apples and, slowly biting off a piece of each, determine the sweetest taste. The eponymous contender for his hand and heart will become the groom! There is a belief that before going to bed in a new house or in the apartment in which you lived less than a year, you need to cross yourself three times with the words: “I’m sleeping in a new place, the bridegroom is dreaming about the bride.” Your betrothed will definitely come to you in a dream!

Fortune telling “Dinner with the groom” The girl covers the table in an empty room with a tablecloth, puts down the utensils, except for the knife and fork, and says: “Betrothed, come to dinner with me.” Everyone leaves, and she, left alone, locks the windows and doors and waits. Signs of a loved one's approach are as follows: the howling of the wind, blows on the windows and door. Then he appears. The girl must sit in her place, not answer questions, remember her facial features and clothes. The groom sits down at the table and begins to entertain her with conversation. The girl should suddenly ask: “What’s your name?” the betrothed says his name and takes something out of his pocket. At this moment the girl needs to say: “mind me!” - and the vision will disappear.

Fortune telling with forfeits They tell fortunes after Christmas, from 23 to 24 at night, by candlelight. “Forfeits” with predictions written on them are rolled into a tube. Then they sing a special song three times: Elijah, Elijah, passionate evenings, Yes, baptismal ones. Who will get this song? It will come true, it will not pass away. Then they pull a “fanta” from the bag, always with their left hand, and “read” their fate.

Fortune telling by things (for a girl’s fate) This fortune telling by things should be performed by the closest people: mother, friend, relative. The girl being told fortunes is not present. She is taken to spend the night in another house. If you are telling fortunes in an apartment, then you do not have to leave the house: you can simply be in another room. At midnight, take a lock and “lock” some of the girl’s things: a nightgown, a stocking, a ribbon. To do this, simply put a lock on the item, lock it with a key, and place it under your head. Do all this with the words: “the betrothed-mummer, come to unlock the bride and rescue her from captivity.” Whoever comes at night for the key will be the groom.

You can also put a stocking on one leg and go to bed, saying: “Mummer, come take off my shoes!”

Fortune telling for Christmas The Christmas holiday coincides with winter solstice. They used to tell fortunes on such days long before the advent of Christianity. This time was considered mysterious and mystical. Our ancestors believed that during the solstice, evil spirits are more active, the souls of the dead come into our world, and the predictions on these days are the most truthful. With the advent of Christianity, many customs ceased to exist, but fortune telling at Christmas remained. Fortune telling is intended mainly for girls who want to know when they will find love and get married. Below we will talk about several methods of fortune telling. Fortune telling with a shoe For this fortune-telling, the girl left the house the night before Christmas and threw a shoe over the fence. (The main thing is that there was no need to try to specifically direct the boot). Then she looked - in which direction the sock was pointing, in that direction her future husband lived. If the toe of the shoe was turned towards the house, it means that this year the girl will have to stay with her parents and will not get married. Today, not only residents of private houses, but also apartments can guess this way. In their case, the shoe can be thrown out of the window. Fortune telling by strings The girls set fire to the threads at the same time. The one who burns out first will get married the fastest. An extinct thread is a bad omen; it means that the girl will have to spend her whole life “in girls.” Fortune telling with bulbs Often, for fortune-telling at Christmas for the betrothed, they do this: they take onions and write on them the names of candidates for the place of the future spouse. Then they are placed in water. You should pay attention to onions that grow faster than others. The person whose name is written on it will be the most suitable candidate. Fortune telling using the king of diamonds This fortune telling is carried out on the night before Christmas. Before going to bed, they place the king of diamonds under the pillow, saying: “Dream, betrothed, dream, mummer.” Before carrying out this procedure, it is important to wash your face, comb your hair and put some jewelry under your pillow. The one you dream about this night will be your betrothed. Fortune telling with a candle Fortune telling for Christmas will reveal a lot of interesting things about a person. Organize a candlelit dinner and observe the candle that is located next to the person you are interested in. If it burns evenly, it means that this person’s thoughts coincide with yours. If the candle burns out on one side, then this indicates that the person is secretive or that he is lying. A “crying” candle indicates the difficult fate of the interlocutor. Crackling and darkening indicates evil thoughts and that damage has been imposed on him.

There are many types of fortune telling on Christmas night, but we will look at the most popular and truthful ones. Fortune telling for the betrothed You need to go outside at 12 o'clock at night and listen to sounds and voices.

You can guess about your betrothed in another way. At midnight, go out into the street and walk until you meet a passerby. You should definitely ask his name.

Fortune telling for Christmas is a long-standing tradition of the Russian people. There is no need to be alienated or afraid of Christmas fortune-telling. Fortune telling does not require much effort or knowledge, and is accessible to absolutely everyone. After Christmas, Christmas fortune-telling begins, which lasts 12 days from January 7 to January 19.

The most faithful rituals from different countries

There are a great many ways of divination. Czechs tell fortunes by apples, the British hug firewood, and the Greeks, to predict the birth of a child, are blindfolded and brandishing a knife. But the most original fortune-telling ritual - erotic - was invented by our great-grandmothers: lifting up their skirts, they went to the barn at midnight...

The New Year has arrived, opening the doors to a series of mysterious winter holidays. The holidays, which begin on Christmas Eve, have long been considered the best time for fortune telling and divination. These days, pagan and Christian rituals are intricately intertwined, making those who hope to look into their future tremble. Around Christmas, throughout the Christian world, even notorious careerists and respectable businessmen turn into timid “grooms” and “brides” and, with bated breath, like many centuries ago, take off their crosses and belts and “get into mischief” with evil spirits...

Each country has its own favorite methods of telling fortunes: for betrothed ones, for the birth of a child, for success and wealth in the coming year.

In England, after dark, a girl would go to the woodpile and bring home an armful of firewood. In the morning they were counted: if the number turned out to be even, the wedding was to be celebrated in the coming year; if it was odd, it was postponed. In Russia, fortune telling is very similar - at midnight they approach a plank fence and, with their arms outstretched, try to cover as many boards as possible. If there is an even number of pieces of wood “in the embrace,” there will be a wedding.

And here’s how guys in Norway wonder about their future wife. On Christmas Eve, the fortuneteller is locked in a dark room, blindfolded with a scarf. Late in the evening he is taken out and seated at a table on which there are 3 cups - beer, milk and water. After this, the eyes are untied and he is left alone.

The young man casts a spell, like the Russian “Betrothed, show yourself to me!” if everything is done correctly, after a while a rustling and crackling sound is heard, which becomes increasingly louder. The house begins to shake, and even the yard can be seen through the “dancing” logs. Soon the betrothed appears. She takes the cup, drinks from it, and then disappears. If a girl drank beer, it means family life will be successful, and there will be great prosperity in the house. If there is milk, then the income will be average, but if it is water, then the young people will have a difficult life.

In the Czech Republic, it is customary to tell fortunes with apples. After Christmas dinner, the apples are cut crosswise, and if there is a correct star made of seeds inside, coming year will be happy.
And in order to find out whether the feelings of the heart are mutual, an ancient Czech custom prescribes choosing the most appetizing apple and treating the object of your passion with it. If a lover or beloved eats this apple to the core, you can count on reciprocal feelings, eat it along with the middle - be young together. Well, if he refuses, doesn’t eat enough, or worse, gives the apple to someone else, he doesn’t love and won’t love.

For Bulgarians, the surest way to get an answer to any question is to ask a book. It's simple: you think about a wish, a page number, a paragraph and a line - that's where the prediction is stored. If the answer is not direct, then everyone can interpret it according to their own understanding.

This is how they try to predict the birth of a child in Greece. Take a pie or cheesecake and place it in the center of the table. The fortuneteller is blindfolded and given a knife with a wooden handle - let him cut the cake. If the knife touches the middle of the pie - in the coming year you can expect the birth or conception of a boy, the edge - the child will not appear soon and will be a girl, will fall on the tablecloth - it is useless to expect children in the coming years.

But the most “come true” fortune-telling is, of course, our original Russian

In the Pskov province, for example, water was poured into a saucer or shallow bowl and taken out to the red porch for the entire Christmas night. In the morning they looked at it: the ice rose up - the year will be good, the ice froze - the year will be calm, the ice froze in waves - there will be both grief and happiness; and if the water freezes like a hole, the year will be bad.

Fortune telling for men: Give the girl you like a kitchen towel, a pie, a salt shaker and a knife. Let her stack everything one on top of the other and walk through the threshold. If the salt doesn’t spill out, the knife doesn’t wobble, and the towel doesn’t come loose – grab it: in front of you is an extremely valuable specimen that needs to be taken. You will be lucky with your wife!
Those who want to find out whether the year will be rich need to prepare forty blank identical pieces of paper. On twenty of them you should draw banknotes, all of which you know. All pieces of paper are rolled up into tubes and dropped into a deep hat or bag. Having conceived something for which money is required, with his eyes closed, the fortuneteller mixes the pieces of paper and tries to grab as many of them into a handful as possible. Then he opens his eyes and counts: what is more - empty pieces of paper or with banknotes. The ratio will indicate what the upcoming financial year will be like.

For girls who want to tell fortunes in a non-trivial way, “erotic” Christmas fortune telling is suitable. In ancient times, our great-grandmothers, lifting up their skirts, stuck their naked butts out the barn window and spoke. “Betrothed-mummer, pet me.” If it seemed like you grabbed furry paw- to become a girl’s wife or mistress of a rich man. If you stroke with a bare hand, then everything in bed will be smooth and loving. Well, if someone slaps, pinches or scratches - they interpreted it, their imagination suggested.

The bathhouse, a refuge for demons, is also an excellent place for predictions and divination. Here it is customary to tell fortunes with two mirrors by candlelight: in the depths of the reflected “corridor” of candles a narrowed one should appear. Fortune telling on crumpled and burnt paper is also welcome here, the shadow of which will show what to expect from the coming year. This is how you can tell fortunes in a city apartment, preferably in the kitchen, with nine lit candles.

But the easiest way to find out your future on Christmas Eve is to simply go to bed early. Dreams these days are the most prophetic.

Other types of Christmas fortune telling

Fortune telling

Fortune telling with needles

Take thirteen needles or pins - ten should be left straight, and three should be slightly bent. Choose one needle for yourself. You can “assign” needles to other persons, although this is not necessary for fortune telling with needles. Take all the needles in your hand and pour them onto a clean sheet of paper, approximately in the middle of the sheet. Mentally divide the sheet into five parts: top, bottom, right, left and middle. The needles that fall into the upper part of the sheet control the circumstances, and the needles that fall into the lower part are subject to them. The left side means the past, the right side means the future. The middle means stability, harmony, lack of change. Find your needle. If your needle lies in the middle, intersecting with other needles, the year will be troublesome, but interesting - you will not be bored. Most likely, no changes are expected. Here, however, when divining with needles, the position of other “named” needles, if you have assigned them, and the direction indicated by your needle are also important: if the eye of the needle is directed to the upper right corner of the sheet, changes will come, and the ones you want, but not in the next year, but in the next; if the eye of the needle is directed towards the lower right corner, there will be changes, but not the ones you want; if the ear is directed towards the upper or lower left corner, this means that changes have either already occurred or are possible in the coming year, but their implementation will require a lot of effort from you; if your needle does not intersect with other needles, you will experience loneliness, you will have to rely only on your own strength, connections with other people will be short and fragile. If your needle lies at the top of the leaf, it means that you will control your own destiny in the new year. You know how to influence events. As you want, so it will be. But pay attention: if the eye of your needle is directed to the lower right corner, your influence on events will gradually decrease; if the eye of your needle points towards the left corners, you should be careful. The situation will require either significant efforts from you or unseemly actions. Your needle is at the bottom of the leaf: trust in the will of God. You yourself are unlikely to be able to change anything in the current situation, so try to use it as much as possible. Pay attention to the connections of your needle to other needles (dependency), the direction of the eye (tendency), and the placement of crooked needles. It is best if all the needles, both curved and straight, are turned with their heads towards yours: this means that none of the people around you will harm you. If adjacent needles top part(ear) touch your needle, pleasant surprises, help from friends and success in business await you. However, any needle, especially a crooked one, the point of which intersects your needle or is simply directed in your direction, means trouble, failure or loss. Therefore, the further such a needle is from yours, the better. A crooked needle signifies a premeditated intention. If all three crooked needles are turned with their points away from yours, then your ill-wishers will not achieve their goal. Crooked needles on the left side of the sheet (past) are troubles that are already behind us. But, if the point of your needle is directed towards these needles, this means that you yourself do not allow your opponents to calm down. A crooked needle on the right and especially at the top can mean major trouble awaiting you in the new year. Here again the tendency is important: it is better to have the ear or tip facing the danger than the entire surface. Straight needles with their ears pointing in your direction mean help, support, and good luck.

Taking a black thread, it is passed through a ring and immersed in a faceted glass. The ring can touch the edges of the container on the right side of the fortuneteller, and then the marriage will take place. Touching the left side indicates that it is too early to think about marriage. The young lady can take the jewelry out of the glass and put it on her finger at night. In this case, she has the opportunity to see a prophetic dream about her betrothed-mummer.

Another type of fortune telling for love, through a reliable dream. You need to prepare for such a ritual - put a pen and paper next to the bed, take out church icons and utensils, take off all your jewelry and belt, and let your hair down. They lie on the bed the other way around - with their feet where the head is, placing the pillow there too. In addition, having said the words of the spell, the fortuneteller should no longer talk to anyone.

Fortune telling for your betrothed under the pillow has several options:

1. A bridge is built from twigs, and it is placed on the bed up to the pillow. Having said, “Betrothed, come to me, take me across the bridge,” the girl can calmly fall asleep. On Christmas night she will see her future chosen one.
2. If you want to meet a “knight on a white horse” in a dream, you will have to put a rod from an untested broom and a horseshoe at your head (it can be made from paper or a piece of cardboard). The groom in a dream will appear in the guise of a horseman.
3. You can build a well out of matches and also place it under your head, only now you will need to say other words: “Betrothed-mummer, come and drink some water.”
4. If you put a jar of sweet jam or marmalade on the dressing table next to the bed, the girl will be able to see the gentleman already languishing in love with her.
5. Three leaves of noble laurel are also suitable for the sacrament; it is important that the young fortune teller say “My betrothed, the mummer” and call him to her dream.

Rituals using human hair are of extreme interest, because it is known what power, energy and information they possess. It is important that the ritual be carried out at full readiness go to bed. After it is carried out, the girl must remain silent, no matter who speaks to her, especially since she is not allowed to get up and do any business until the morning.

You need to buy a new comb, light a red wax candle at night and comb your hair for a long time, imagining in your thoughts the guy you would like to marry. Then you need to put a comb under the pillow, extinguish the candle without blowing it out, but with your fingers, and while lying down say: “Betrothed, come to my dream, find me along the comb, my beauty, your love, we will meet you in a dream.”

It is most effective to carry out rituals at midnight during the holy week; it is advisable for girls to do this at women's days weeks - Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

How to tell fortunes for Christmas at home: basic rules

To protect yourself from evil entities, and to achieve truthful answers when fortune-telling, you must adhere to some conventions that are well known to real sorcerers and fortune-tellers:

1. It is necessary to take the ritual seriously, otherwise it is useless to wait for a significant result, so even if fortune telling is performed by several people, the room should be quiet. It's best to guess when you're alone.
2. You will have to try to have a positive attitude towards the ritual and enlist the help of the Light Forces - read the “Our Father” or any other prayer.
3. Even with bad omens, don’t even think about getting upset, because we create the outline of life with our own hands. Any forecasts are, first of all, warnings, but not a verdict.
4. At the end of the divination, thank God for your assistance. After the ritual, it doesn’t hurt to thoroughly wash your hands and face.

In order for supernatural forces to help find out the truth about upcoming events, girls are supposed to rid their hair of hairpins, elastic bands and jewelry, letting it loose over their shoulders, so their own energy will help them receive information. At the same time, you cannot keep your legs and arms crossed, otherwise the channels of communication with the incomprehensible beings of the Universe will be blocked.

It is advisable to remove all jewelry from yourself, even rings and earrings, as well as icons, because what will happen, in essence, is an invocation by the spirit, and is an unclean thing, from the Orthodox point of view. In principle, the place where Christmas fortune-telling for the future was carried out has always been a bathhouse, but today not everyone has their own home, so the ceremony can be carried out in any room. The light in the room should be dim, so only candles should be left.

Simple and interesting fortune telling for Christmas for children

Below I suggest you watch a video that shows several types of interesting and simple ways of Christmas and Yuletide fortune telling for children. After all, children, seeing that adults are guessing, will also want to look into their future.

And one more important requirement - simple fortune-telling for Christmas at home should be carried out only when a person sincerely believes that the invisible mystical world of spiritual entities is connected with reality and can influence any events in human life. Otherwise, it is impossible to obtain the truth from otherworldly forces.

Christmas fortune telling is rightfully considered the most come true. The night before Christmas is called Christmas Eve - the time when spirits freely enter our world to help or harm. Christmas fortune telling with playing cards or tarot at home is a good way to find out your destiny. But divination should not be taken lightly. You need to get into a serious mood, focus on the issue of interest, and only after that proceed to the layouts.

Love spread

The layout of the cards is done differently, depending on who they are guessing for. From the deck you need to select a “blank” - a card that symbolizes a person. It's easy to define:

• A blonde or red-haired girl is the queen of diamonds.
• The brown-haired woman is the queen of hearts.
• The brunette is the lady of the cross.

If they are telling fortunes about a man, then the selection principle is the same, only they choose from the kings.

You cannot use the Queen of Spades and the King of Spades as blanks.

Five cards are selected from the deck: the “blank” and the supposed chosen ones (4 kings or queens). The fortuneteller gives names to three cards symbolizing admirers or admirers, and the fourth, the suit of spades, will symbolize the stranger on this moment person. They mentally ask questions and draw one of four cards at random. The questions can be any: “Who loves me? ", "Who will I stay with? ", "Who is my destiny? "

Fortune telling for the betrothed

On the night before Christmas, when going to bed, four kings are placed under the pillow. Each of them is given the name of a male friend. Without talking to anyone, you need to go to bed. Waking up in the morning, without getting out of bed, they take out one card at random from under the pillow. Whichever card is pulled out is the one destined for.

This same fortune telling has a different interpretation. Having placed the kings under the pillow, you need to say in a whisper: “Who is my betrothed, who is my mummer, dream about him in my dreams! " At night you will dream of a man destined by fate.

Opening the door to the secrets of the future is not easy, so you need to take this very seriously and responsibly. What do you need to know when starting fortune telling on Christmas Eve?

Origin of the cards

Modern cards are descended from the well-known Tarot cards. However, over time, some changes occurred. For example: the major arcana were lost, only the Jester remained - in the current deck it is the Joker, and the suits were replaced as follows: wands became clubs, swords became spades, pentacles became diamonds, cups became hearts. Some fortune telling uses a full deck of 52 cards, but the most common readings are made from 36 or 32.

The greatest danger is loss fortune telling card or transferring the deck for temporary use into the wrong hands. The most successful days for fortune telling are: Friday, as well as New Year's Eve, Christmas Eve and day. More accurate layouts can be seen on the first of January, on your birthday and every 13th of the month. According to folk customs, it is believed that one should not make fortunes at the beginning of the week, and the truthful alignment is made at midnight.

Some people are greatly mistaken, thinking that only those who have a gift from God or inherited can tell fortunes. In many cases this is true, but this does not mean that anyone who wishes cannot obtain special knowledge and skills. Here is one of the techniques that you can use to easily learn how to get what you need. It is not aimed at memorizing someone else’s interpretation, but at developing your own intuition, which will become the foundation of your clairvoyance.

For a beginner in this business, any new deck is suitable, be it regular cards or Tarot cards, it all depends on your desire. You can also make your own personal prediction deck, for this you can use pictures from magazines pasted onto a card base or cards drawn with your own hands. All methods are excellent for fortune telling, because clairvoyance is built on personal associations.

Restrictions that should not be deviated from during training:

1. New deck of cards. Reliable fortune telling can only be done on cards that have not yet been used, whether purchased or made by you. Freshly unpacked cards do not carry any alien energy that can interfere with the layout. If you are not sure whether the cards you purchased are energetically pure, holding them near a candle fire for a few seconds and then sprinkling salt on them will help clear them.
2. Immunity. Fortune telling cards can only be touched by one person; if they fall into the wrong hands, they lose their properties. The deck should only feel your positive energy, so keep it in your hands as often as possible.
3. No games. Once you take the path of clairvoyance, forget about the world card games. Now you must respect the tool of your knowledge.

Let's fill the cards with energy

In order for your cards to feel your power and recognize you as the owner, on the first day of purchasing the desired deck, you need to carry out certain actions. To do this, take the cards in your hands, hold them for 10 minutes in your hands, sincerely promise to take care of them and ask for help in further predictions. After this, give them a good shuffle for 20 minutes, enjoying the process gently and slowly.

After shuffling, put the cards on the table and do something useful for half an hour, this could be sports, communication with family or cooking dinner. As soon as you feel that enough time has passed, return to the deck, start going through and looking at each card, and do this procedure for 30 minutes. At the end of viewing, put them in a silk bag and place them in your pocket, carry them with you for a week, and put them under your pillow at night. Also, after each fortune telling session, wash your hands thoroughly under cold running water, which can remove negative energy.

All the time of Christmastide, as the days from Christmas to Epiphany are called, is shrouded in the magic of fortune telling, since at this moment the souls of the dead are on earth and activate otherworldly force. Experienced magicians claim that at this time there is no interference in determining the future. Here are a few ways how.

On Christmas night, after taking a good bath, or better yet, taking a steam bath, and putting on white pajamas, place four kings under your pillow. Wish your betrothed to come in a dream. If you dream of the king of spades, then the groom will be much older than you and very jealous, if the king of hearts is young and has money, the cross is narrowed by military service consists, and if diamonds - the one to whom your heart belongs.

For this fortune telling, we take a deck of 52 cards, shuffle them thoroughly and lay them out on the table, saying out loud all the cards from Ace to One and in a circle further. If, when reading a card, a card with the same value falls out, we put it in the middle of the table - this is the first coincidence.
