Divination for the Old New Year for the fulfillment of desires
Each of us, on the eve of the New Year holidays, dreams of a miracle, because we so want our wishes to come true, and the fairy tale to come true. There are many different fortune-telling for the fulfillment of the most cherished desire. The chosen rite should be performed on the night of January 13-14 in complete silence.
Let's look at the most effective fortune-telling for desire:
gold ring
Prepare an opaque bowl of clean water and a ring. Whisper your deepest wish and throw the ring into the water. Count the number of water circles. An even number will mean that the desired will certainly come true, an odd number will not.
Take a glass or jar and fill it to the top with rice. Put the palm of your right hand on the neck of the container and make a wish (you can ask a question, the answer of which can only be “yes” or “no”). Then take out a small handful of cereals and count the number of grains. An even number is what you want to be this year, an odd number will mean a negative answer.
Book
At midnight, make a wish and open your favorite book with your eyes closed. Point your finger at one of the lines. Open your eyes and read. The blindly chosen offer will have to let you know whether the wish will come true or not. 
Glass of water
Fill one glass to the top with clean water and leave the other empty. At 12 at night, make your wish and pour water from one glass to another over the table. A dry table surface will mean a dream come true. If a lot of water is spilled, your wish will not come true this year.
Black cat
If there is a black cat in the house, the rite can be carried out in this way: take the animal to the next room, and yourself, having made a question or desire, call her to you. If a pet crosses the threshold of your room with its left paw, the dream will come true, but not with the right paw. And if the cat does not come at all, then the fulfillment of the cherished desire will completely depend on you. 
paper snowflake
On the evening of January 13, make a snowflake out of paper and write your desire on it in small letters. Put it under your pillow and at nightfall, take it out and throw it out of the balcony (or from the window). At the same time, while the snowflake flies to the ground, you need to whisper your dream 3 times in a whisper.
Bulb
Prepare three onions in their skins (the heads should be approximately the same) and 3 cups filled halfway with water. On the night of January 13-14, write one wish on each bulb and place each head in a glass of water. Everything, now you just need to wait. The bulb that sprouts first and tells you what wish will come true. Important! For this fortune-telling, a spoiled and rotten onion is not suitable.
Leaves with wishes
On the evening of January 13, prepare 12 small pieces of white paper. On each piece before bed, write different wishes and put them under your pillow. In the morning, touch any piece of paper and read what is written on it. This is the wish that will come true in the coming year. 
coins
Take 13 coins and shake them well in your hands, while pronouncing your desire. Throw them so that they fall on the same surface. Count the number of heads and tails. If there are more eagles, celebrate success.
The most important thing to remember is that at the moment of making a wish, you need to believe in the miracle and power of magic, and also imagine as clearly as possible that your dream has come true in the coming year.
Fortune-telling for the fulfillment of a wish on the street
If you want to spend fortune-telling with friends, then it is not necessary to sit at home. You can go outside and perform the ceremony in the fresh air. There are several interesting ways to find out if a wish will come true or not.
Method number 1. Stranger
Go outside after midnight and walk down the street. At the same time, you should have two coins in your pocket - one is silver, the other is copper. As soon as you see a stranger on the horizon, think about your dream and, approaching the stranger, ask him to choose one of the coins. Silver will mean a positive result. If a copper coin is chosen, the wish will not come true this year.
Method number 2. Luminous windows
If you live in the city, then go outside at midnight, turn your back on your house and make a wish. Turn around and count the number of glowing windows. An even number will come true, an odd number will not come true. You can also walk with friends around the city at night, at any time close your eyes and make a wish. Spin around your axis a couple of times, and count the windows of the house opposite. 
Method number 3. Imprint in a snowdrift
At midnight, you need to go out into the yard, find the territory where the snow has remained untouched by people. Lie on your back and leave an imprint of the body, while making your wish. On the morning of January 14, you should come to this place and see what happened to this pattern. If the imprint is not touched by nature and people, then you can rejoice, because this year the wish will come true. If someone stepped on or the contours of the body print were blown away by the wind, it is worth waiting for the next year.
Modern divination
There are a couple of modern divinations that can be done on the eve of the holiday. It is not difficult to conduct them, and it will take very little time.
1. Elevator. Go out to the platform and make a wish. Wait for someone to call the elevator. If he stops on your floor or above - the wish will come true, below - no.
2. Mobile phone. Think about what you want and wait for the call. If a man calls, the dream will come true, but if a woman calls, this year you should not wait for what you want.
3. Chocolate. At the festive table, fill a glass of champagne. Throw a chocolate cube 1 minute before midnight and think of a wish. If the sweetness sinks, then it will come true and you need to quickly drink the contents, if chocolate remains on the surface, the answer is no.
Choose the right time for the ceremony and follow all the rules, and of course, believe in your dream.
From time immemorial, the traditional time for divination was the Russian holiday - the Old New Year and celebrated on January 13th. It was this day in ancient Russia that was endowed with magical power and was prophetic. It was believed that fortune-telling for the Old New Year made it possible to obtain reliable information on any issue.
Only we, the Slavs, have such a thing as "Old New Year". In a similar way, humorists are often ironic, marveling at the Slavic weakness to celebrate holidays that, it would seem, no longer exist.
However, this is not entirely true ... From one position, the Old New Year is, of course, a non-existent holiday, since it is celebrated according to the old style (or rather, according to the so-called Julian calendar, which was in effect before Russia adopted the modern, Gregorian calendar).
But, from a different position, the festive night from January 13 to 14 is also Generous Evening (Vasil's Evening) - a holiday that came to Orthodoxy from paganism and marked the richest day of the year.
It was “on Vasily” that the Slavs laid rich tables, cut a pig, prayed, spells and requests to various deities that the next year be fertile and prosperous.
For girls, both the evening and the night from Melanka to Vasily (January 13 was the day of St. Melanka, and January 14 was the church day of memory of Basil the Great) were a long-awaited time of divination for the future and for love.
It was on the basis of such Slavic pagan fortune-telling practices, and then their Orthodox interpretations, that traditional fortune-telling for the Old New Year for the betrothed, for fate, for family life, as well as modern Christmas divination, which have safely come down to us, began to take shape.
Fortune telling on Vasiliev Evening was considered an auspicious sign, since it accounted for the middle of Christmas time. This time was one of the key moments in the year, when all divination showed only the truth and telling fortunes was not something that was not forbidden, but was strongly recommended.
Interestingly, this could not be prevented even by the fact that rites of this kind were often rejected by the church and the authorities.
The simplest and most common of all types of divination for the Old New Year was shoe divination.
To perform this fortune-telling, you had to take your shoe and at midnight, standing on the threshold of your own house, throw it away into the street.
And here, as they say, where the shoes fall with a toe - from there the pretty one will come. When conducting this fortune-telling, it was necessary to take into account that fortune-telling can have its own variations of decoding for different areas, since the buildings are different everywhere.
For example, if the shoe fell with its nose towards the church, it could mean marriage, if it fell with its nose towards the military unit - a military groom, if towards the factory - a hard-working husband, etc.
Another easy divination to perform was "large" or "rice".
To perform this divination, you need to take a cup of cereal or rice and say the following words over it:
"Tell me, fate, what should I expect: good or evil?"
And after that, you need to make a wish.
At the same time, at the same time as making a wish, it is necessary to pour rice from a mug onto the table. As soon as the grains are on the countertop, you need to select black or bad grains from the scattered grains and count them.
The final odd number of selected grains will indicate that the desire will not come true, and even - that it will come true.
Fortune telling on wax - the meaning of the figures
One of the main fortune-telling "for Vasily" was done on wax. True, for its implementation it was required to have a wax candle on hand (only she was suitable for these purposes, and not a paraffin candle in any way) and to have a good imagination. The essence of fortune-telling was as follows:
Wax was heated in a separate metal vessel - usually 1-2 candles were melted for this. Cold water was collected in another vessel, which often served as melted snow.
Then the resulting liquid wax mass was carefully poured into water, so that the wax fell freely and took any shape.
In water, figures made of liquid wax instantly hardened. After that, they were taken out of the water and, by their outlines or the shadows that they cast, they tried to unravel their future.
As a rule, there were no unified rules for interpreting the results of this divination, therefore, both the shape of the wax figurine and its meaning had to be thought out independently.
Many interpretations of wax figures were taken from folk symbolism:
- ring - fast engagement,
- bed - health problems,
- cross - blow,
- man is a good friend
- heart - new love, etc.
Fortune-telling for the Old New Year
On January 13, in the evening, one could also come across interesting fortune-telling. They were produced as follows:
- A special bowl (dish) with water was placed on the table, which was covered with an opaque scarf.
- All the guests who came to the feast took off any decorations and put them in this bowl.
- When songs began to be sung at the table, during each new one, an object was taken at random from the bottom of the dish: to whom it belonged - that's what the song is about.
Popular among our Slavic ancestors were also “towel” fortune-telling for the Old New Year for the betrothed.
For him, the girls took snow-white, clean, brand new towels (towels) and hung them outside their window just before going to bed.
At the same time, it was necessary not to forget to say special words:
“My betrothed, you are my mummer, come soon, dry yourself with a towel!”
Then it was necessary to go to bed, and early in the morning to go out and feel the hanging towel. If it was wet or damp, it means that the future husband came and the girl will get married in the coming year.
And if the towel remains dry and untouched, it means that a girl in girls will sit and live with her parents for another year.
Divination for the Old New Year with eavesdropping had a special charm. They could be performed in a hundred different ways, but always on the night of the Old New Year:
You could walk under the windows of other people's houses and listen to the conversations:
- if they were funny, then life will be like that,
- if boring - then yearn for the whole year,
- if songs are sung - be a wedding,
- if they are silent, nothing will happen.
The girls also ran to the church at midnight and listened to what would be heard from behind its closed doors:
- if the funeral - it means to be in trouble in the house,
- if wedding chants mean love and happiness,
- if silence - then to a calm year.
In addition, fortune-telling on cards for love is still popular among girls.
They also listened to the barking of dogs, guessing at the area where they would have to marry. To do this, they went out into the courtyard of their house and asked in a whisper:
"Hail, bark, doggy, bark, bark, gray top!"
Then they listened to where the dog barked from. If the barking was from afar, it means that you will have to go far to get married; if the dog barked in your yard, it means that you are destined to live very close after the wedding. The side from which the barking of dogs was heard also mattered.
Divination by bread, ring and hook
Another fortune-telling for the Old New Year involved the use of improvised materials - a ringlet, loaves of bread and a fishing hook. This divination required the participation of several girls (at least 3) and it was carried out as follows:
- They put a ring, a hook and a piece of bread right on the floor, all this was covered with a scarf
- Then they stood in a circle from the scarf and turned around themselves 5 times
After that, the scarf was quickly removed, and each girl grabbed one of the items:
- bread went to the one who would marry a rich man,
- ring - a girl who will soon have to wait for matchmakers,
- hook - a girl who is destined to live with the poor all her life.
The next fortune-telling - "Glass and Ring" - was usually done at night (the later - the better), since it required a certain deconcentration of thought.
For its implementation, they took an ordinary glass (unfaceted and with a flat bottom).
Two-thirds of the water was poured into it, and then the ring of the girl who was guessing was placed in the middle of the bottom of the glass.
She sat on a chair next to a standing glass and had to peer into her own ring until she saw the features of her future husband there.
Another primordially Slavic old New Year's divination was carried out with the help of the most ordinary ... dumplings! And since in those days they were made exclusively by hand, the one who prepared them had a unique opportunity to organize an exciting fortune-telling for their guests or household members.
What was necessary for this divination?
A girl or woman sculpted dumplings with potatoes, adding a variety of symbolic trifles to the filling - coins, seasonings, sweets, decorations, etc.
During the festive dinner, the guests sorted out the treat, not suspecting who would get the dumpling with what.
As a result, according to what little thing was in the food of a particular person, they judged his near future:
- the ring symbolized the wedding,
- a piece of other food (for example, rolls or carrots) - wealth,
- coin - financial well-being,
- salted filling - tears,
- sweet filling - joy,
- cherry pit - having a child, etc.
Divination on bulbs
This simple, but promising, divination on bulbs was carried out by several girls at once. They chose an onion each for themselves and planted them in their pot or put them in water.
Then their task was to see which of the planted bulbs would sprout first. Whoever sprouts appeared before everyone else - she is ahead of others and will have to marry.
Divination options for the Old New Year
The list of fortune-telling presented above, of course, is not exhaustive, but only represents the most popular Old New Year's practices for determining one's future.
Having studied with his help the most popular Slavic fortune-telling for the Old New Year, any girl can try them on her own.

Old New Year coincides with Vasiliev's Day. Namely, this day in ancient Russia was endowed with magical power and was prophetic. It was believed that fortune-telling for the Old New Year made it possible to obtain reliable information on any issue.
Many folk beliefs are associated with this day and will accept, as follows:
- It was not advisable to pronounce the word “thirteen” throughout the day, so as not to attract evil spirits to your house;
- When paying for any product, you cannot count the change in change, otherwise you will shed tears all year;
- On the evening of the Old New Year, you must not borrow anything from your own house, otherwise the whole next year will be in debt;
- On the evening before the Old New Year, you can’t take out the garbage from the house, otherwise you can take out your own happiness with it.
Divination was very popular in ancient times. Therefore, many rituals are rooted in the deep past. In the modern world, they are not so easy to fulfill. But on the other hand, they allow you to get an exact answer to the question of interest.
Rite with a rooster
In Russian villages, a rite with a rooster was held on the Old New Year. He allowed to determine whether luck awaits the family in the coming year. To do this, closer to midnight, the rooster was removed from the perch and brought into the house, where wheat grains were previously scattered on the floor.
It was necessary to pay attention to the following:
- If the rooster pecked all the grains, then next year luck will not bypass your house, and peace and harmony will reign in your family;
- If the bird pecks just a couple of grains, then you need to prepare for the wedding;
- If the rooster refused to peck the grains, then the year as a whole will be unsuccessful.
Guessing with the whole family
Another family ritual was also very popular. When everyone gathers at the festive table, you need to put a bowl of water in the middle of it and throw in small pieces of bread, the number of which should match the number of family members.
Spinning the water with your finger, you should pronounce the following magic words:
“Spin the bread in the water, my whole family is here. If trouble comes, then show it to the water.
After that, the container must be set aside until the morning. In the morning you need to look at the result of fortune telling. If the bread remains in the pile, then the whole family will be preserved during the coming year. And if at least one piece falls off, then it may well be that trouble will happen to one of the family members. If all the pieces of bread fall apart, then the family will fall apart, but this may also mean that in the coming year everyone will disperse.
Divination by wax
Divination for the Old New Year on wax is very much in demand in the modern world. You should know that divination using wax should be taken very seriously. This is due to the fact that wax is a very strong magical attribute that is able to work with human energy.
For the ceremony, in order to get divination wax, you need to melt one church candle in the flame of another. As a rule, this is done in a tablespoon. Having melted the wax, it must be poured into a previously prepared container with water. After it hardens, the resulting cake should be considered and interpreted in relation to your own question.
In any case, the main factor is the shape of the resulting figure. If it is rounded, then this is already a good sign, which indicates that luck will accompany a person in the coming year. The presence of sharp corners and peaks around the perimeter indicates that you are surrounded by ill-wishers, from whom you should expect trouble in the coming year. Wax interpretation entirely depends on the imagination of the person conducting the ceremony. And at the same time, it is very important to listen to your inner feelings.
Wax decoding
Among the most popular interpretations are the following:
- Numbers and letters can be associated with specific dates, names, or the names of specific places;
- Straight lines on the wax figure indicate that successful undertakings await you in the new year;
- Clear dots on the wax portend a possible profit;
- A figure resembling an angel or wings indicates that when solving complex problems, you can count on the help of higher powers;
- The figure of a woman may indicate the presence of a rival;
- The figure of a man predicts an early acquaintance in the near future, or even marriage;
- The figure of a child indicates both the birth of a child in the coming year and the beginning of a new business;
- The figure of a cat warns of imminent betrayal among close friends;
- The figure of the dog emphasizes that close friends will always be with you in the coming year.
Divination for the betrothed
Divination for the Old New Year for the betrothed was very popular among the girls. There were many customs by which girls could predict their marriage.
Using a towel
In our time, divination has come in which the use of a towel was supposed to be used. For the ceremony, you need to purchase a snow-white thin towel. On the night before the Old New Year, when going to bed, one should hang a towel outside. In the modern world, an item can be hung on a balcony.
During this, it was necessary to pronounce the following words:
“My betrothed, I’m waiting for you, love is stored in my soul for you, come soon, let me know about yourself, wipe yourself with a towel.”
After that, it was necessary to go to bed immediately, imagining the betrothed, that is, endowing him with features that would be sweet to you. Early in the morning you need to go out and feel the towel. If it is wet, it means that the betrothed came and marriage will take place next year. If the towel is left dry, then there will be no wedding next year.
On the nature of the husband
There is also a simple and, one might say, half-comic fortune-telling that will tell the girl what her future husband will be like.
To do this, put five plates on the floor and, accordingly, in them:
- Pour coins;
- Pour vodka;
- Put down cigarettes;
- Put a mirror;
- Put down the book.
After that, you need to launch a rooster into the room and, being at a certain distance, watch him if the rooster pecks:
- Coins, then the husband will be rich;
- Vodka, then the future spouse will have a passion for drinking;
- Cigarettes, then the man in your life will be a smoker;
- Mirror, then you will come across a handsome man;
- Book, then your spouse will be very smart.
In the name of the future husband
To find out the name of the future husband, you need to write nine male names on ten small leaves, and leave one blank. All of them need to be rolled into tubes and folded under the pillow just before bedtime. You can’t be distracted during such an action, and after everything is done, you need to immediately go to bed. In the morning you need to immediately get one of the notes. If a name is written on it, then soon a close friend with the same name will appear next to you. And if an empty note was pulled out, then you will have to spend another year alone.
To make a cherished wish come true
Fortune-telling on the Old New Year can help a cherished wish come true. For example, on a New Year tree, you need to hang a colorful box among the toys, and put a note with a cherished desire inside it. On the Old New Year, the box must be removed, a note should be taken out of it.
"Let my wish become a reality."
Then the box should be hung again on the Christmas tree, and the note should be burned in a candle flame, and the ashes should be blown out the open window.
If you decide to conduct fortune-telling for the Old New Year, then treat it as a fabulous event. All actions must be carried out in a positive mood - and then success is guaranteed.
Bring back the New Year! I didn't make that wish!

Divination is performed as follows.
Pour warm water into a glass and dissolve the egg white in the water.
If the protein suddenly sinks to the bottom of the glass, this portends all sorts of troubles: death, fire. For unmarried girls, this omen threatens an eternal lonely life.
But usually the protein remains in the center of the glass and, curled up, takes the form of various figures, which are interpreted as follows:
- a figure resembling a church portends a quick wedding for a girl, death for an elderly woman;
- if the resulting figure reminds you of a ship with sails, this means the imminent arrival of a husband for a married woman, a girl portends marriage and departure to another country, a young man - a long journey.

Fortune telling by threads: who will marry first
Several girls are involved in fortune-telling. It is necessary to cut off and distribute to each participant the threads of the same length.

For example, if the chain lay in the shape of a circle, this symbolizes that a girl will face many difficulties next year, and she will have to make a lot of efforts to overcome them. An oval means almost the same thing, albeit in a slightly softer form. If the chain has formed a straight line, it is recommended to start new business - in all of them, the fortuneteller will be lucky. Triangles and rectangles are also signs of imminent success.
A figure resembling a bow with its outline portends success in love - a romantic date or a quick wedding, depending on whether the girl already has a fiance or lover. If the chain lay on the table in the form of a letter, this is for a new relationship, and it is with this letter that the name of the gentleman will begin.

After that, put the bowl next to the bed. On the morning of January 14, without getting out of bed, put your hand into the bowl and randomly take out a handful of millet.
If there was no ring in the millet, then nothing will change in your personal life, and if at this moment you already have a man from whom you are expecting a marriage proposal, then your aspirations will not come true - you will part with this person.
If you come across a simple ring, then there will be a lot of acquaintances in the coming year, but you are unlikely to get married, because you won’t be able to decide who you want to see next to you.
