tell fortune-party

New Year and Xmas are unique holidays when you are expecting fun, joy, miracles and magic. Fortunetelling was common during all the days of tide but the ones on Xmas and New Year’s Eve were claimed to be the most important. Girls told fortunes in Xmas-tide especially nights, using various ways and following various traditions. The most frightening and reliable was fortune telling at night in an empty bath using a mirror and candles. Not every girl came up to a scratch to see her intended. “Evil spirits” were very active at “creepy nights” and to maintain the atmosphere young men had a habit of playing fun: overthrew stacks of woods; loaded gates so the owners couldn’t come outside; climbed roofs and covered chimneys with plates – huts were filled with smoke when placed were fired. These holiday pranks were known and were treated forbearingly. Christmas fortune telling Ceromancy Grain a candle and put it into a metal spoon. Melt wax and pour it quickly in a plate with water prepared beforehand. The wax, solidified in water, takes shape with which you tell fortune: “what you see” Hydromancy Fill a bowl with water. Place slips of paper folded in two onto the edges of the bowl. Write the names of fortune tellers and events you are interested in on the papers. Then take a half of a walnut-shell, place a piece of candle in it and put it into the bowl in free flotation. Depending what edge it reaches and what slip of paper gets burn, you tell fortune. With a ring Fill 3/4 of a glass with water and draw down a ring carefully. Then watch through water in the middle of the rig where an intended’s image is to appear. Alectryomancy You have to buy a bird and bring it home. Throw various things about the floor (a piece of bread, something gold, something silver, and something copper), place a cup of water and let the bird choose. If it drinks water then your future husband will be a drunkard, if it dabbers bread, then a future husband will be reasonable and well-to-do. If it goes to a golden thing, then a husband will be a nouveau riche. If it chooses a copper ring, then you will marry a ladies’ man. You can do it either alone or with friends. If there is a company of friends, then everyone has to put her own thing. The first thing chosen by the bird is the first girl getting married. In Siberia girls also bought a cock. If the cock pecks a hen then a husband will be bellicose. And it it is the hen who pecks the cock, and then a wife will be a master in the house. With a cat’s paw Make a wish and call your cat. If it crosses the threshold of a room with the left paw, you wish will come true, if with the right paw, it won’t. A ring, a piece of bread, a comb and some tobacco. Place all the things in various bowls and cover them with paper. Call a girl which reads fortune herself and let her choose. Bread means wealthy, a ring means a dandy husband, a comb – a bohomme, tobacco – a smoking husband. КОРОЧЕ, НУЖНО ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНО СОБРАТЬСЯ И ПОФОЧУНТЕЛЛИТЬ :)))))
