The New Year is a great time to look into your own future or get an answer to a specific question. Fortune telling for the New Year is a very popular magical ritual. But at the same time, you should be careful and strictly follow the instructions of the rituals. It should be understood that during the fabulous New Year's period, not only good higher powers are activated, but also evil forces that can do harm. It is important to remember that if fortune-telling for the New Year is carried out in a positive mood, then you will not be afraid of any machinations of evil spirits.
Of course, most people dream on New Year's Eve that their cherished wish will definitely come true in the coming year. But whether this will happen can be found out with a high degree of certainty after fortune telling.
With water pouring
This kind of fortune-telling can be done by pouring water from glass to glass. To do this, you need to fill one glass to the top with water and leave the other empty. After this, you need to mentally formulate your cherished desire, and you need to do this very clearly.
Then you need to pour the water into an empty glass. If you managed to do this very carefully and only a few drops spilled onto the table, then this means that in the coming year your wish will definitely come true. But if in the process of pouring water a puddle forms on the table, then the wish will not come true. It is very important to remember that you cannot train before performing this ritual.
On wishes under the pillow
Each person, as a rule, has several desires. And it is on the New Year that you can use fortune telling to most likely determine which of them may come true in the coming year. To do this, you need to take 12 small pieces of paper and write your cherished desires on them. After this, they need to be rolled into a tube and placed under the pillow. On the first morning of the New Year, you need to wake up and take out one of the leaves at random. This wish will come true in the near future. But this does not mean at all that eleven other desires should be classified as unrealistic, you just have to make an effort to achieve them.
Fortune telling on windows
New Year's Eve is filled with magical energy, which makes it easy to get an answer to your question. For example, if you want to find out whether your wish will come true, then you should go out into the street, stand with your back to the apartment building and, turning your gaze to the sky, loudly ask the question of interest. Then you should turn to the house and count the windows in which the light is on. Their even number indicates that your wish will come true in the near future.
How quiet will the year be?
You can determine how calm the next year will be for you as follows. For such fortune telling, you should place a saucer filled with water outside or on the balcony. In the morning you will need to go out and assess the condition of the ice in the saucer. If the ice turns out smooth and transparent, then a calm year awaits you. And if the ice has risen and become cloudy, then the year will be turbulent, but at the same time it will be filled not only with problems, but also with joyful events. But if the water in the saucer freezes in such a way that a hole is formed, then the year will be unsuccessful. It is clear that such a ritual can only be performed in case of frosty weather.
Will next year be successful?
You can also do fortune telling for success next year as follows. An assistant will be required to perform the ceremony. He must take four glasses, fill them with drinking water and in each glass, respectively, put a spoonful of salt, a spoonful of sugar, a wedding ring, and a piece of bread. After this, the person who is predicting success for the next year is blindfolded and brought to the glasses. He must choose one of them.
This fortune telling is interpreted as follows:
- Water with sugar added to it promises a successful year; Water with salt foretells tears in the coming year; If a glass with a ring is chosen, then your personal life will be arranged in the coming year; A glass with a piece of bread predicts financial well-being.
Fortune telling for the New Year for the fulfillment of a wish will be reliable only if you sincerely believe in the power of magic. In this case, you can use any option, since tips surround you. For example, you can interpret the first phrase of a song heard on the radio in the morning or after turning on the TV.
Fortune telling for the New Year for the betrothed
On New Year's Eve, fortune telling for your betrothed is very popular. Rituals can be performed either alone or together, when a group of girls gathers at a common table.
Using hair
A very popular fortune telling is a ritual using hair. To do this, before going to bed on New Year's Eve, place a small bowl of water next to your sleeping place, throw in a pinch of salt, sugar, ash and stir.Then, on the surface of such a mixture, you need to carefully place three hairs of yours and your chosen one side by side in strands. In the morning you need to see in what condition the hair is left in the bowl. If the hairs are united or at least closer, it means that you will soon unite your destinies, and if the hairs go in different directions, then separation will soon follow.
For a group of girls
If a group of girls has gathered at a common table, then on New Year’s Eve you can perform another fortune-telling. To do this, take a sieve, which needs to be filled with cereals of different varieties. After this, three rings should be thrown there: silver, gold and copper. Decorations need to be mixed with cereal. After this, the girls take turns scooping up a handful of cereal. If you come across a ring, marriage is expected in the coming year, otherwise you will have to wait another year. Moreover:- A copper ring indicates that a poor person will become a spouse; A silver ring predicts marriage to a hard-working person; A gold ring becomes a harbinger of a rich marriage.
How to see your betrothed in a dream?
Everyone knows that on New Year's Eve we have prophetic dreams. Therefore, there are many rituals aimed at seeing one’s betrothed in a dream. For example, you can put a frying pan under the bed and say the following words before going to bed:“My betrothed, dressed in disguise, I’m waiting for you in a dream, come, I’ll feed you.”
After such words, you need to try to fall asleep as soon as possible. A betrothed must definitely appear in a dream, whom you can then easily recognize in the real world. In addition, you can find out in a dream the character of your future husband. To do this, you need to put four card kings under your pillow on New Year's Eve. At the same time, say the following words:
“Whoever will be my betrothed will come to me in a dream.”
This night you should definitely dream about one of the kings, and:- The King of Spades indicates that your spouse will be much older than you and will be jealous of you all his life; The King of Hearts predicts life with a young and rich husband; The King of Diamonds predicts that your loved one will be with you and the marriage will be happy; The King of Clubs indicates that your spouse will be a military man or a businessman.
Fortune telling to find out the name of the betrothed
To find out the name of your betrothed, you need to go out on New Year's Eve and ask the first man you meet to name any man's name or introduce himself. The given name will be the name of your future husband. Fortune telling on New Year's Eve has always been considered the most accurate. Therefore, it is unlikely that you should abandon them. If your circumstances were such that you couldn’t tell your fortune at this magical time, then you can do it at Christmas or Epiphany. But at the same time, you should remember that if the result does not suit you, then you can try to change your destiny yourself. And if you are a confident person, then this will most likely work out.
But fortune telling on the eve of the New Year is not as often as at Christmas time or at baptism. This tradition originated relatively recently. Why not? Why not on such a bright (despite the fact that it is night) holiday. Light in mood, in attitude, in spiritual disposition.
It is very difficult to separate fortune telling before the New Year, during New Year's Eve and in the morning. This is very conditional. For example, telling fortunes on a mirror, although a little scary, is traditional. And this can be done both after the New Year’s Eve and directly on New Year’s Eve. Still, it’s more interesting at night.
1. On the mirror. Sit in front of the mirror, place a decanter in front of the mirror and two candles on either side of the decanter. What then? But this is a matter of luck. But you'll see something...
2. According to the book. Fortune telling from a book is very exciting, but it is, however, all-season. You need to put your left hand on a closed book and ask out loud what you want to know. Then open the book and read the line that your eye falls on. And then you interpret this line, which requires some effort, knowledge and imagination. For New Year's fortune-telling, take the appropriate book - you shouldn't ask telephone directories about your plans for the future.
3. On rice. One of the most famous New Year's fortune telling is fortune telling on rice grains. You need to put a plate of rice on the table. Then raise your hand over the plate and make a wish, then take some rice from the plate and pour it onto the table. Count the grains: an even number is a positive answer, an odd number is a negative answer. You probably need to guess until midnight, then most of our fellow citizens will not be able to count grains of rice or apples.
4. In the snow. And here is the most New Year's fortune telling. Go outside directly on New Year's Eve. Fall backwards into the snow, then get up and walk away without looking back. Come back in the morning and look at your print. Different interpretations are possible: if the trace from you is deep, it will happen more than once. If it’s smooth and beautiful, life will be successful. But if your tracks are covered up, problems are possible in the new year. Well, if your print was trampled by stray dogs or drunk neighbors piled on them, then the fortune telling was unsuccessful. You can repeat “falling into the snow” on Christmas night - just choose a snowdrift away from noisy places.
5. On coffee grounds. The morning of the New Year is the most suitable time for such an interesting and mysterious activity as fortune telling on coffee grounds. Your imagination will tell you exactly how to interpret the patterns formed on a saucer of coffee grounds. New Year's wax fortune telling is also fortune telling for the future. You need to melt the wax over a fire, and then try to understand what you see in the cooled wax version.
6. On the windows. For two weeks after the New Year, it is customary to tell fortunes “on luminous windows.” When it gets dark, go out into the yard and, closing your eyes, make a wish. Then open your eyes and count the number of luminous windows. Only in your own home, and not in the entire area. If you count an even number, your wish will come true; if it’s an odd number, you’ll have to wait until next year, that is, you’re unlucky this year.
The night at the turn of the old and new years is completely different from the rest. It has a special magical power; it is associated with the expectations of mandatory changes for the better. That’s why fortune telling on New Year’s Eve has been so popular for many centuries - because everyone wants to know what exactly awaits them in the near future. And even people who are skeptical about predictions perceive them as a fun game that accompanies this magical night.

Fortune telling for love and betrothed
For unmarried girls, the festive evening and night with Melanka (January 13 is the day of the Venerable Melanka) on Vasily has always been considered a suitable time for truthful fortune telling about love and the betrothed. Based on ancient Slavic pagan rituals, modern interesting methods of divination have been formed, with the help of which you can find out any information about your future husband or the feelings of a loved one.
Most of these fortune tellings are simple and accurate. They can be carried out independently at home alone or in the company of friends.
Who will be the first to get married in the new year?
To find out, you need to feed the cat dumplings. The one who eats it first will marry before the rest. If you don’t have dumplings on hand, you can use threads of the same length. The girl whose thread burns out the fastest will be the first to marry. If the thread accidentally goes out, then this is a bad sign. The fortuneteller will never get married or will wait a long time for the wedding.
Unmarried girls or their mothers can also tell fortunes for a quick marriage using nut shells. Place two walnut shells in a bowl of water. If they get together, the girl will soon get married, if they go their separate ways, the wedding is still far away.
You can also use a wedding ring for divination, which should be placed in a container of water and left in the cold overnight. In the morning, count the number of tubercles on the water, each of which symbolizes the future groom. If the water is frozen in one large bulge, then there is a wedding ahead, and if the surface is flat, it is not time for marriage yet.
Fortune telling using beans is also popular. You need to take a small handful of beans and pour them into a cup. Make a guess whether a girl will get married this year or not, using two simple phrases that need to be repeated during the ceremony, for example: “there will be a wedding” and “the wedding will not take place.” Continuously pronouncing the hidden words, you must slowly transfer the beans from one cup to another. Whatever phrase they end on is what will happen.
Another well-known New Year's ritual for the betrothed is carried out using a towel. Need to:
If it is wet, it means the groom wiped himself with it at night and there will be a wedding next year. If it’s dry, then the girl will have to be unmarried for another year.
What will your future spouse and family life be like?
Fortune telling by groats is carried out together with girlfriends. For it you need:
If the egg rolled towards the buckwheat, then the future husband will be rich and generous. Rice portends falling in love with a married man, millet speaks of a fair-haired man, semolina promises a groom from the north, and pearl barley promises a military man. Water means that the girl will have to move after the wedding. If the egg remains in place, then next year you can’t expect marriage.
You can also learn about the character of your betrothed with the help of animals and birds. In the late evening of January 13, you need to go outside. Whichever living creature comes across first on the road, with such a disposition will be the spouse. A cat portends an affectionate and cunning man, a dog – a faithful one, and a bird – a creative and gifted person.
To find out how family life will turn out, you can tell fortunes in this way: on Old New Year, pour three piles of grain at the gate. In the morning, see if it remains in place or the piles are destroyed. In the first case, the marriage will be happy, in the second - unhappy.
In the name of the betrothed
The peel of the apple is carefully cut off with a thin continuous strip. If during the process it suddenly broke off, the fortune telling did not work. You need to throw the cut skin over your right shoulder and see what letter the resulting figure resembles. It is with her that the name of the future husband will begin.
Another interesting and fun fortune telling, which is carried out on the occasion of the Old New Year. The girls go out into the street and stop the first passers-by they come across, asking their names. The first male name reported will belong to the spouse.

Will your wish come true?
“If the red maiden makes a wish for Vasily, everything will come true, but what will come true will not pass!” - said popular beliefs. Ancient fortune-telling on a holiday based on wishes is distinguished by its simplicity and variety. Here are some of them:
- 1. Take a book of any content and make a wish. Then open any page at random and point your finger at any paragraph, by which you should judge whether your plan will come true or not.
- 2. Fill one glass to the top with water, and leave the second empty. Think about something and pour water from one glass to another over the table several times. Carefully inspect the surface over which the ceremony was performed: if the table is dry or a little water has been spilled, the wish will be fulfilled, if a lot is not.
- 3. Fill the cup with rice. Say the magic words over it: “Tell me, fate, what should I expect: good or evil” and make a wish. At the same time, pour all the rice onto the table. Then select black or bad grains from the scattered grains and count them. An odd number foreshadows the fulfillment of a dream, and an even number indicates that the wish will not come true.
- 4. Throw a ring without stones, preferably an engagement ring, into a transparent glass with a flat bottom filled with water. Light a candle and place it on the left side of the glass. Exactly at 12 o'clock at night on January 13, make a wish and look closely at the center of the ring. After some time, the water in the glass will become cloudy and an image will appear that will tell you whether it will come true or not.
- 5. You can find out whether your plan will come true or not on the morning of January 14th. At the entrance to the church it is necessary to count the parishioners. You need to count the first thirteen people. If there are more men, then the answer is positive; if there are women, the wish will not come true.
- 1. If the fortuneteller has an elevator in her house, then you can ask him about the fulfillment of wishes. In the evening of Old New Year, you need to go out onto the site, think of a question and wait for someone to call the elevator. If he goes up, the desired will come true, if down, it won’t come true.
- 2. You can also use your phone to cast a spell. You need to think of a question, concentrate and look at the phone. If you receive a call from a man in the near future, your wish will come true; if you receive a call from a woman, your wish will not come true. It should be noted that you should expect a call not only on January 13, but also on January 14.
- 3. The next ritual is suitable for lovers of sweets. It is often used for fortune telling specifically for the Old New Year. You should fill the glass with champagne. On the night of January 14, a minute before midnight, think of any wish and ask: “Will the wish come true?” Then throw a small piece of chocolate into the glass. If he drowns, the wish will certainly come true, then champagne must be drunk very quickly within 12 seconds. If not, then the answer is negative.
- You cannot say the word “thirteen” on holiday.
- On January 14, they don’t count change, it leads to tears.

- The ancestors believed that on the Generous Evening, witches stole the moon from the heavens, but still could not stop the coming of the growing day.
- On the holiday, early in the morning, it was customary to cook Vasiliev’s porridge and monitor its preparation. If the porridge “escapes” from the pan or the pot in which it is cooked cracks, there will be trouble. In this case, the porridge along with the vessel was thrown into the hole.

Before you start guessing, you need to remember that the likelihood of predicting the truth increases if you take it seriously. Any fortune-telling rituals love complete immersion and silence.

But, the most important thing is not to overdo it or go too far. If you are not satisfied with the result obtained in some way, you should not just believe in fortune telling. In this case, it is best to treat the ritual as a fun pastime. In addition, if you have ever attended a reception with a real fortune teller, you could hear that there are times when cards or otherworldly forces simply do not want to “speak,” and it does not matter at all how complex or simple the ritual was.
If by chance you have discovered the ability to look into the future, and soon all the predictions begin to come true, it is best to stop. They say that excessive passion for such things can lead to not the most pleasant consequences - the future can be guessed. There is an opinion that the future could have been the way it was seen, but as a result of constant interference in it, dramatic changes occurred. Therefore, you should not get too carried away with going to fortune-tellers or astrologers.
It is worth remembering that not all fortune telling can be used by inexperienced beginners, since many of them are truly dangerous. During the New Year holidays, you can use fortune telling on cards or with a variety of objects. The fact is that this particular time is considered open to otherworldly forces that can tell about the future.
