It is believed that it is during the days of Christmas time that you can find out if you will get married next year, who will be betrothed, whether luck will accompany the whole year. Of course, the night of the old New Year is the best time to find out your future. But if you didn’t manage to tell fortunes at the right time, don’t worry - Christmas Christmas time will continue until Epiphany Eve, and you can perform the sacrament until January 18.
For fortune-telling to be successful, a number of important rules must be observed. Before the ritual, you need to loosen your hair and untie the knots on your clothes. It is necessary to remove the belt, bracelets, chains, rings - all these are amulets that close our energy and prevent it from uniting with the energy of spirits. During divination, it is better not to cross your arms and legs. You can tell fortunes alone or in the company of friends, but in the room where the ritual takes place, it should be as quiet as possible. The mood and the right way to look into the future are important. The best time to perform the holy sacraments is midnight or hours before sunrise.

The groom should come up from behind and his reflection should appear in the mirror.
Divination with water
You need to bring a piece of ice or a lump of snow from the street, wait until it melts, and look at the rubbish that is in the water. If a hair is found, the betrothed will be rich, a stick or a sliver - with its own housing, a leaf - will be associated with science, a piece of paper - a military man.

- Light a candle and take a spoonful of salt, placing it next to it.
- Pour clean water into a glass, lower the spoon into the liquid.

- Stir the salt in a glass, while saying the words: “If the pickle melts, then the hubby will not leave me. Burn the leaf faster, burn their feelings as soon as possible!
If the salt is completely dissolved in water, and the paper is burned to the ground, then the fortuneteller will be able to save the marriage, her husband loves her, and her fears are groundless.

- An even number is a good sign. Success awaits in the near future, and the plan will soon come true.
- Odd - the dream will definitely not come true this year, and fortune will turn away from the fortuneteller for a long time.
