Every year on August 19, Orthodox Christians celebrate a bright holiday - Apple Savior. It symbolizes the beginning of autumn, the transformation of nature. On this day, people prepare dishes from apples and, along with the harvest, bring to the church for consecration. But for Orthodox girls, Apple Savior is not only pleasant for this. Rituals and fortune-telling - this is what occupies their souls and hearts, and they expect this day with awe. Indeed, for a long time, magical properties have been attributed to apples. Confirmation of this can be found in the Holy Scriptures, in particular in the story of the expulsion of ancestors from Paradise for an apple, and in folk tales (for example, rejuvenating apples). What and how to guess on this day? And what signs should you believe in?
Fortune telling
Fortune-telling on Apple Spas for love is the most common ritual. It helps to find out if a love adventure will happen with a girl in the near future. To make it, prepare some apples and dip them in a bucket of water. Then turn away from the bucket and scoop up water with a bucket. See how many apples you come across. With an even number, soon expect love, with an odd number, on the contrary, no major changes in your personal life are expected.
Loves or dislikes?
Do you have a man in your mind that you really like? And you him? Not sure about a positive answer? There is a divination at Apple Spas, which will help to find out if your feelings are mutual. By August 19, cook a red apple. For a holiday, cut it, having previously marked with a small sign one of the halves. In the future, this part of the apple will be considered left. Also prepare a note with the name of a loved one and put it between the halves. Then tie a fruit with a red ribbon and say the following words: “A red apple, yes, everyone is beautiful, tell me, tell me, show me the way. What does the servant of God (name) feel for the servant of God (your name)? ”After that, place the fruit on the windowsill and wait until it starts to deteriorate. Separate the halves. If the left (marked) side is darker than the right, then the man (on whom fortunetelling is going) feels sympathy for you. Or maybe even serious feelings. If the right half has darkened more, then, alas, you are indifferent to this man.
Fortune-telling on the test “loves or not” can be carried out in another, simpler way. To do this, cut the apple and look at the seeds. If they are all whole, then true love relationships have a favorable prognosis. Do not relax and continue to strengthen them. Perhaps with the chosen man you will live your whole life. And if one of the seeds is cut, in your personal life, not everything is so smooth. This kind of divination encourages you to think about further relationships.
Is there a betrayal?
Another feature of the holiday we are considering (Apple Savior) is signs for women. Fortune-telling of a loved one, for example, is one of them. The ritual is quite simple. If you want to find out if your man has another woman, take apple seeds, start a fire. Put one seed on a fine lattice and say the following words: “If you love me, fly away, if not, then lie down, burn.” And think about your beloved. If this seed bursts over the fire, be sure of your man, he is faithful to you. If, on the contrary, the seed burns and smolders, then this is a bad sign. Most likely, your companion has another woman. To dispel any doubts, perform this ritual three times.
Fortune telling
If you have not met your beloved and only man, then divination by the Apple Savior on the narrowed one is what you need. It will open the veil of your future in your personal life. The main attribute of it is, of course, an apple. To perform the ritual, cut the prepared fruit into nine identical slices. Then sit in front of a large mirror and eat eight parts of an apple, and throw the ninth over your shoulder. It is necessary to look in the mirror. With good concentration, you can see the face of a person who is your betrothed. The daily time of the ritual is unimportant. The main thing is that the apple is sanctified. However, as practice shows, all fortune-telling is carried out at dusk.
There is another ritual supposedly allowing you to see a man destined by fate. To do this, tie an apple tree with a red ribbon on the evening of August 19 and ask the fruit to show the narrowed one. And at night you should have a prophetic dream with the one called.

Fortune-telling of the girls is a fortune-telling at Apple Spas in the name of the betrothed. He will need one medium apple. With it, try to cut the peel with the longest strip.

Fortune-telling with an apple
Fortune telling at Apple Spas for marriage is carried out by several girls. It allows you to find out which one will get married earlier. To do this, make a fire. Tag or remember your apple. Hang all the fruits on the ropes over the fire. And start turning them slightly. According to legend, fortunetellers will marry in the exact order in which their apples fall into the fire. If your fetus still hangs, then, alas, in the coming year you are not destined to get married.
Another simple version of divination for marriage at Apple Spas is the following ritual. Unmarried girls take one apple each and add one more to the total quantity. On each fruit you need to cut your name. Then, marked apples are placed on a red cloth in a circle, covered with another red cloth on top. They choose a girl, blindfold her and untwist. She must have that extra apple in her hand. After circling, the girl comes to the table and picks fruit. He will indicate which of the beauties present is the first to marry.
Fortune telling
In addition to loving relationships, on a holiday you can cast a spell on other topics. So, it is known fortune-telling in Apple Spas on health. The most popular ritual allows you to find out how your health will be in the near future. To do this, take an apple, put it on a green cloth. And, rolling clockwise, say these words: “Bullet apple, tell me, tell me, health or show me ailment”. Then leave the fruit in a dark place where no one will see it for three days. And look how it began to deteriorate. If from the edges, then there is no serious threat to your health. If from the core, then be careful, you may soon become seriously ill. Take care of yourself. And if the apple does not deteriorate at all, then this indicates an excellent good health condition. You can also tell fortunes to your loved one. To do this, instead of the word “me” in the magic saying, say “to the servant / servant of God / God (name)”.
Fortune telling
Fortune telling at Apple Spas for money is another type of popular ritual. It allows you to find out if financial well-being expects you in the near future. To make it, toss the apple up and look on which side it will fall. Landing the fetus to your left means that, alas, you will not have to wait for wealth. And to the right, expect better financial conditions. If the apple falls in the center, that is, opposite you, beware of rash debts.
You can also guess the future job if you have not decided on a suitable one. To do this, cut a few apples in half. Write notes with the desired options and put them between the halves of the fruit. Leave it all night. And in the morning, get the notes and look at the inscriptions. Which is the least blurred and read more distinctly, that and indicate a good place to work for you and bring you material prosperity.
