The most reliable fortune telling for love and betrothed on Kupala night
One of the simplest and most popular methods for girls involves the following steps:
- go out into the clearing at midnight and gather a bunch of herbs;
- upon returning home, hide the loot under the pillow;
- go to bed, making a wish for marriage;
- check in the morning: if there are 12 or more different herbs in the bunch, the girl will have to marry her before the end of the year.
To determine whether the beloved will become a husband, what kind of husband he will be family life, they tell fortunes on a leaf plucked from an oak, maple or chestnut tree. Along the central vein you need to scratch out the capital letter of the guy’s name with a needle, go out onto the balcony and throw an impromptu note into the wind. If a leaf spins in a stream of air, a storm of passions and a crazy romance will soon await you. It will fly up - development of relationships, happy marriage. If it falls rapidly - all hopes are in vain.
Young ladies who simultaneously have several admirers who are equally attractive to them, determine the chosen one with the help of a fern. At night, a group of girls goes into the forest, each breaking off branches of a plant, the number of which corresponds to the number of suitors. The shoots are marked with threads or breaks, wishing for certain names. Afterwards they are lowered into the river, pressing the palm to the bottom. Sharply letting go of the hand, they look: which of the branches pops up, that guy will become the husband. The method is difficult for city dwellers, so now it is rarely remembered.
A simpler option: write the names of the gentlemen on pieces of paper, roll the sheets into tubes and mix in a bowl. Mentally ask Mother Nature to help you determine your destiny, close your eyes, choose. Higher power They will definitely guide their hand, the name of the betrothed will become known.
What it will look like future husband, they find out from the spine found on a magical night. Ritual rules: wear after midnight White dress, let down your hair, go barefoot into the garden or meadow. Pull any plant you like out of the ground. Well, consider the details by the type of spine: thin and long - the husband will be slender and tall, crooked - sick, short - short and maybe fat.
Fortune telling for the future and fulfillment of wishes on Midsummer's Day
One of the oldest and the right ways predicting fate - divination on wreaths. Symbols of the natural cycle are woven during the day from wild flowers. In the evening, after sunset, there are two options for fortune telling: throwing a wreath along the river or throwing it into a fire. When lowering the wreath into the water, you must definitely think of a wish, and then observe:
- will float away into the distance - be kind;
