CHRISTMAS GUESSINGS

The person always worries about the destiny, about success of business, about health, about love. It the future always interests. For this reason in Russia there was a custom - to guess. There is a set of ways of guessings. But it is final, the most interesting and mysterious guessings happen in the New Year's eve, for Christmas or the Christening. On folk customs guessed in a New Year's eve (since December, 31st for January, 1st), on the night of Christmas (with 6 for January, 7th), for old New year (with 13 for January, 14th), for the Christening (on January, 19th). Throughout two святочных weeks (after Christmas and till a christening) also it was possible to guess on destiny, on the promised, on a birth of children etc.

 

In olden time for a guessing of the girl chose "dirty" places - the thrown houses, baths, sheds, cellars, a shade, attics, cemeteries. Guessings always considered as business "not acceptable", therefore the guessing should remove from themselves нательные crosses and belts, to untie all knots on clothes, to unplait the hair. To guess went secretly: left the house неперескрестясь, went silently, barefoot, in one shirt. Covered the person with a scarf, and blinked, that them have not learnt, if who suddenly on road meets.

 

 

GUESSINGS ON THE PROMISED

 

Guessing with a mirror
This guessing has initially been calculated on people with strong nerves for "to hysterical hypochondriacs the fright from the seen can shake them организациюю", - spoken in one ancient book. Two mirrors of different size undertake, are established the friend opposite to the friend, shined with two candles. Гадальщица sits down a smaller mirror. Now, looking over it in большее, she should see the long mirror corridor which has been lighted up by fires. " The guessing person should remove from a room of cats, dogs, birds and extraneous persons, except one or two modest persons, the interested equally with itself guessing or for повадности. From the last, however, it is required not to look in a mirror, not to approach to guessing and not to talk ". When all it is done, гадальщица should запастисть patience and long peer into a mirror corridor. As soon as the desired image will seem in the end of a corridor, it is necessary to throw at once over a smaller mirror a pure scarf or simply to clean it. Speak, if it not to make, the promised can strike the girl on the person and then it on a cheek for ever will have a red trace from blow...

 

Prophetic dream
To learn about the one who will be narrowed, it is possible and in another way. For example, to see it in a prophetic dream. That the prophetic dream has dreamt, it is necessary to comb a pure hairbrush for the night hair, to say: "Narrowed-rjazhennyj, come to me dressed up" and to put a hairbrush under a pillow. Before falling asleep, it is necessary to try to imagine an image of the promised. To dream about the promised, it is possible to put also instead of a hairbrush under a card pillow - kings of all colours, except peak. What card for the morning вытащиш - your future husband also will be such. If the king "red" (of diamonds or червовый), means the husband to love will and respect. And if "black" (крестовый) your life will be hard, unhappy.

 

Name of the promised
If you wish to learn a name of the promised to make it as easy as shelling pears. Take some sheets of paper, write on each of them on one man's name and put, for example, in a hat. Stir up a hat some times and pull out at random one leaflet. That name which will be written on a leaf, and will be a name of your future husband.

 

Guessing on a towel
For the night hang out for a window a white towel (interestingly, it that to the future groom was more visible?) also speak: “the Promised-rjazhenyj, come and wipe”. If in the morning because of a window you have got absolutely dry towel to sit to you this year “in maids” and if towel wet, precisely to be married.

 

Boot throwing
Girls remove a boot from the left foot and throw it for gate, observing thus where the boot will lay down a sock. In that party the throwing will be given in marriage: When he looks in gate from which it is thrown out girl in this year to live at home and not to marry.

 

When in marriage?!
Pour in a water glass. Put close to walls of a glass two candles. Take a wedding ring (mum's or grandmother's), tie up it on hair or a thin thread. Lower a ring in a glass so that it did not concern waters. And now listen - the ring will knock about walls of a glass and to utter a name of the promised. If will not disassemble a name remember, how many time the ring was knocked about walls - in so much years will marry.

 

 

GUESSINGS ON DESTINY

 

Wax drawing
About that waits for you in the future, it is possible to learn in several ways. Here, for example, one of them. Kindle wax in a mug, pour milk in a saucer and put at an apartment or house threshold. Say: "House, my owner, come under a threshold to have a drink a milk, to eat wax". With last words pour out in milk the kindled wax. And now attentively look. If will see the fallen asleep cross, any illnesses wait for you in new year. If wax "will blossom"
The new friend will appear a flower the marriage waits for you or in your life. If the animal seems, moving, flights and long journeys wait for you. If wax lays down asterisks, wait for good luck on service, in study.

 

What is audible?
In olden time to learn about the future, girls went on streets and listened to sounds. If the sound of bells is heard - means, soon to marry, if in any house swear, means, the life family will be unsweetened. Today this guessing can be changed. For example, not leaving on street, it is possible to take a walk on an entrance, listening about what your neighbours speak. Behind each door necessarily you will hear something interesting, that will prompt you any event next year.

 

Guessing on a ring

Put a gold ring in a glass with water and put it for the night on a frost (or in a deep-freezer, if thaw). Observe result in the morning. The frozen water without бугорков means a childless life. How many will be бугорков, so much and will be born sons and if on the frozen surface only a pole - expect daughters.
