"Golden Ring" on the night of Epiphany

Fortune-telling for Epiphany, on the night of January 18th, before bedtime, is often done by unmarried girls. A group of girls gathers to tell fortunes. Traditionally, for the “Golden Ring” at least six girls should gather for fortune telling.

Important! A mandatory attribute is a ring or ring made of gold; you must also take a large piece of black velvet.

Each girl untwists a ring on the velvet and repeats “I am a ring - this is how I shake the circle of the city, I will follow the ring and come to my dear one.” When the ring stops, you need to take a chalk to make a mark on the velvet. When the fortune telling comes to an end and the fortune tellers unwind the ring, you need to carefully study the location of the marks. Those to whom the marks are closer will get married faster. A girl with no marks next to her will remain unmarried for a long time.

Ritual for a prophetic dream

Fortune telling for Epiphany can be done on January 18 before going to bed on your own. On the eve of Epiphany, before going to bed, you must quietly repeat the words “Holy Samson, let me see my prophetic holiday dream.” Then you need to think about those things that interest you more, what you would like to learn about in prophetic dream. Many people want to know the appearance of their betrothed or the time of marriage. Others are interested in what will happen next year in work matters. The main thing is that the desire to find out the truth on a specific issue is really strong.

Fortune telling for wealth

To carry out fortune telling, you need to make sure that you have a coin and three plates on hand. Fortune telling cannot be done without an assistant. Ask a close friend to take a coin and place it under any of the plates. You cannot watch where the assistant places the coin. At this moment it is advisable to be in another room. Fortune telling is that a person needs to guess the plate under which there is a coin.

The lucky ones who have identified it correctly need not worry. The coming year will be full of luck and profit for them. When it was not possible to guess right away, the fortune telling can be repeated. If the second attempt is successful, the person should not expect large financial losses. If the second attempt fails, then the year will incur large costs and losses of money, which will be unpredictable. As you can see, fortune telling for Epiphany, namely on January 18 before bed, does not always tell only about love affairs.

Fortune telling for the groom

Before fortune telling, it is important to decide on the number of suitors who want to win the lady’s heart. Potential suitors will determine the number of apples needed for fortune telling. Each apple will be responsible for a specific groom, to designate him, the first letters of the person’s name are cut out on both sides. Once the grooms' initials are carved into the fruit, they are placed in a large container. Fortune telling should be done with the lights off.

In the dark, the girl mixes the apples and takes a bite of each one in turn. Then you need to make a choice and leave the apple, which, in the fortuneteller’s opinion, is the most delicious. You need to put it aside, turn on the light and look at the initials. The chosen apple will tell you which of the suitors will become the girl's husband.

Fortune telling in the snow before Epiphany

Fortune telling is simple. It is enough to go outside after sunset and fall into the snow. Then the fortuneteller must get up and enter the house, under no circumstances looking back at her imprint. You can study it only in the morning, on the day of Epiphany. The imprint will tell you what kind of character the girl’s husband will be.

a smooth imprint promises a gentle, sensitive and calm husband.
a print with cuts inside and along the edge predicts a spouse with a difficult character.

Fortune telling by wish

Fortune telling for Epiphany allows you to find out before going to bed on January 18 whether your cherished wish will come true. On the eve of the great holiday, you need to think about twelve cherished desires. Each is written down on a separate piece of paper and placed under the pillow on which the fortuneteller will fall asleep. First thing in the morning, you need to pull out three leaves from under your pillow, without looking. The wishes written on these pieces of paper will come true in the coming year.

You can tell fortunes on your cherished wish to find out whether it will come true or not. The fortuneteller places a mirror under the bed, on which a wish must be written in advance. On January 18, the mirror should lie outside for some time (preferably until the evening). After placing the mirror under the bed before going to bed, add a couple of fir branches next to it. You need to check the mirror in the morning. The disappearance of the wish that was written on it indicates that it will come true.

Advice! There is also a simple fortune-telling based on desire, which does not require the person to wait until Epiphany morning. Before going to bed, small items are laid out on the table. These can be seeds or nuts. When a wish is made, small items are counted. An even number of objects should indicate that the wish will come true. The odd one says that it is not destined to come true in the coming year.

Epiphany fortune telling for the betrothed

Before going to bed, you need to take a broom and, starting to sweep it, repeat the words of the prayer, moving the broom to the right. When moving the broom to the left, you need to utter a curse word. When the fortuneteller walks around the room with a broom, you need to draw a line with charcoal on the floor and stand on right side, to which the fortuneteller addressed prayer. Looking towards the curse words, to the left, accordingly, you need to say it out loud magic words“Betrothed-mummer, come to me, appear to me like a leaf before the grass.” Many claim that after the magic phrase the girl sees the image of her future husband, they say that the devil may appear.

Fortune telling by the betrothed at the window

Before going to bed, unmarried girls sat under the window and quietly repeated the words “Betrothed, come to my window.” After the words were spoken, the fortune tellers listened to any noise on the street.

if you hear any sounds or someone’s words, screams, then the groom will be rich and generous, you won’t be bored with him.
in response to the magic words, not a sound is heard, then a poor groom will come to woo, and if he has money, then a stingy one.

Naturally, fortune telling is more suitable for residents of villages or the private sector. In the heart of a noisy city, fortunetellers will definitely not hear silence, given the love of many for noisy fun and fireworks on the eve of the holiday.

Fortune telling on the ridge

Girls who are eager to find out what their betrothed will look like can use a comb for fortune telling before bed. To do this, you don’t need to say any special magic words. Before going to bed to rest, the comb is hung out the window. On Epiphany morning, the first thing they check is the presence of hairs on it. Beliefs say that spirits come at night and leave clues for the girl on the comb. Light hairs indicate that the future spouse will be blond, and dark hairs indicate that a brunette will come to woo.

Such fortune telling can be both attractive and frightening. The main thing a believer needs to know is the church similar rituals and does not recognize traditions. She condemns and despises them. For this reason, on the morning of Epiphany, you need to hurry up and take a swim in the consecrated ice hole. After sinful fortune-telling, this is the only thing that will help you save yourself from the wrath of God.

Whether or not to believe in the veracity of fortune telling is a personal matter, but the tradition of using rituals to find out future events has been around for many years. Many people don’t even believe that modern man can turn to fortune telling in the 21st century, the era of the technological boom. But human nature, his desire to know his destiny, to find answers to important questions, forces you to turn to fortune telling on Epiphany on January 18, right before bed, which our ancestors resorted to.

Christmas time begins on Christmas Eve (January 6) and lasts until Epiphany. Traditionally in Rus', fortune telling was performed at Epiphany to find out about the betrothed or to protect the family from misfortune. They did this in different ways.

Epiphany traditions and customs

The celebration of the Epiphany of the Lord begins on January 18, on the day of Vespers. At this time, it is customary to baptize people and bless water. Water consecrated at Epiphany is the strongest protection against the evil eye, damage, and disease.

On the evening of January 18, the whole family gathered at the table. The owner of the house had to eat the first spoonful of porridge. Epiphany frosts were the strongest, so people tried to appease the winter. The owner, having tasted a spoonful of porridge, invited the frost into the house to warm up and eat, for this he went to the window and said:

“You, frost, don’t be angry, don’t frighten us with the cold. Come to the light, sit, drink some tea.”

On the evening of January 19, the family gathered again at the richly furnished table. But they started eating only with the appearance of the first star in the sky. To ensure a good future for themselves, people every year swim in an ice hole on this day. It is believed that water on this day washes away all sins and illnesses, but this custom is performed only by trained people.

Epiphany signs and fortune telling:

snowy, clear weather promises a rich harvest;
At night, dogs bark a lot - there will be a lot of game this year;
the blue clear sky during the day speaks of good harvest, but covered in clouds promises crop failure;
for a young unmarried girl to meet a guy in the morning at his baptism - she will get married soon, for her old grandfather - she will have to wait another year for matchmaking, for her grandmother - she will have to go to court for 5 years;
there are many stars in the sky - all your wishes will come true.

Simple fortune telling for marriage

Baptism customs and rituals are associated with the search for answers about personal life. It was customary for young boys and girls to go out on the morning of January 19 and ask the name of the first person of the opposite sex they met. The other half will have the same name.

in the evening it was customary to guess by bell ringing. Young girls came out closer to the temple and listened:

wedding bells or bells were heard - you will have a wedding this year;
funeral bell - mortal danger, death;
silence - the girl will not get married this year;
intermittent ringing - the betrothed will propose, but the wedding will be postponed due to unforeseen circumstances.

In the morning, unmarried girls threw their boots over the fence to find out which side to wait for their betrothed. You need to stand with your back to the fence, take off your left shoe and throw it over your right shoulder. In which direction the toe of the shoe points, the betrothed should be expected from that direction. If the sock points to a girl’s house, she will not get married soon.

Fortune telling with mirrors

For this fortune telling for Epiphany you will need 2 mirrors and wax candles. Place mirrors opposite each other, light a candle. Arrange all the attributes so that the mirror corridor is clearly visible.

All this is done at midnight, in complete darkness, without strangers. Such rituals are dangerous to carry out at home, because the dark entity living in the looking glass can get out. Having prepared all the attributes, say the following words:

“I’m waiting for my betrothed, I’m beckoning to my house, come, my good one, I pray.”

Peer closely into the mirrored corridor. Soon the figure of your betrothed will begin to approach you, but you cannot let it go beyond the frame of the mirror. As soon as the figure begins to move along the corridor, quickly fold the mirrors facing each other. Read the Lord's Prayer and go to bed. A mirror used in fortune telling can no longer be used for its intended purpose.

Fortune telling with a comb

There is a simpler Epiphany fortune-telling for the betrothed for the night, which involves using a new comb, or rather a comb. In the evening, concentrate on the desire to see your betrothed. While combing your hair with a comb, say the words of the spell:

“I’m waiting for my betrothed at home, I call on his face. Stop walking around, stirring up a girl’s heart. Turn around, show yourself, appear to me in a dream.”

Run the comb through your hair exactly 100 times. Recite the spell all this time. Then place the comb under your pillow and go to bed. Remember your dreams this night - they are prophetic.

Another fortune telling before Epiphany is carried out at a friend’s house. Ask to spend the night with a friend who you have never stayed with before. In the evening, when you go to bed, say:

“The bridegroom dreams of the bride in a new place.”

This night the image of the betrothed will definitely appear. A dream in a new place will be prophetic. Pay attention to any details:

spiders - the betrothed will have money;
chickens - there are always a lot of girls around him, perhaps he works in a women's team;
Leo - you will meet a strong and strong-willed man;
remove large fleas from yourself and your intended betrothed in a dream - build a joint business that brings good money.

Fortune telling for the future husband

To find out the name of the future husband, notes with the names of the guys are placed under the pillow. Write the most different ones that come to mind.

Place them all under your pillow. When you go to bed, try not to think about anything. When you wake up in the morning, take out from under the pillow a note with the name of your betrothed. In a similar way, the gender of children is predicted by placing notes “girl” and “boy” under the pillow.

Prediction for the year

Fortune telling for the year at Epiphany is carried out during the day. You will need:

match;
coin of any denomination;
ring;
bread crumb;
salt;
sugar;
6 glasses;

Mix the glasses. Choose from a blind fortune glass. You can only choose a glass once. Other methods of fortune telling involve the use of wax and milk. The melted wax is poured into milk and, placed at the threshold, they say:

“Brownie, brownie, come out, talk to me, taste the milk and wax. Talk to me, outline the future.”

Interpretation of the forms of frozen wax:

Fortune telling on a wish

Fortune telling at Epiphany based on desire:

on the eve of Epiphany, write 12 wishes on a piece of album paper;
cut the sheet into separate pieces and fold under the pillow;
In the morning, pull out 3 scraps.

Your wishes will come true in the near future.

Fortune telling using a mirror. Put him outside on the morning of January 18th. In the evening, bring in and write your wish with your finger, put the mirror under the bed and cover it with pine branches. In the morning, carefully examine the mirror surface and, if the inscription has disappeared, you can be sure that your wish will come true.

The next fortune telling is carried out in the morning, just getting out of bed. Sit at the table, think about your desire, concentrate and scatter seeds, nuts or cereals on the table. Next, count the number of grains: even numbers indicate that the wish is not destined to come true, odd numbers - soon your dreams will come true, wealth awaits you.

Card reading

In fortune telling for the future, preference is given to cards. Before you start guessing at Epiphany, clearly formulate the question. Shuffle the deck of cards and place 3 cards in three rows. The first will tell about the past, the second - about the present, the third - about the future.

6s mean the road; 7s talk about news; 8s foretell a conversation; 9s promise love; 10s say that wishes gradually come true.

Volts portend trouble. For married woman may mean a child. The Queen and the King describe certain people. Ace is a house.

Interpretation regarding suits:

worms - reflect personal relationships, love affection;
tambourines - plans, money, notices;
crosses – social connections;
peaks - troubles, negativity.

They use cards to guess what it will be like future husband. They put 4 kings under the pillow, saying:

“My betrothed, mummer, come to me in a dream.”

In the morning they take out a card from under the pillow:

worms - a wealthy lover, a married or in love man: to get him, you will have to fight;
tambourines - you know the guy well and have liked him for a long time;
kresti - a military man or businessman, a person with business acumen;
spades - the chosen one is much older, is on good standing, has great connections in society, is jealous.

When evening came, the girls gathered and told fortunes using a piece of black velvet and a ring. The jewelry must be smooth. The girls take turns rolling the ring over the fabric, saying:

“I’ll walk around the city and tie my darling to me.”

They let go of the ring and watch where it falls. A chalk mark is placed in that place. Whose mark is next - that one will have a wedding soon. If the ring rolls out of the fabric, marriage is not expected this year.

Epiphany fortune-telling at night is also carried out using various paraphernalia. A satin ribbon and a piece of bread are placed in the box. The girl is blindfolded and the objects are laid out in the box so that they lie at a distance from each other. If a girl pulls out bread - expect matchmakers, a ribbon - she will wear girls for another year.
