Sooner or later, any teenage girl tries to find out the name of her future husband. It is at this tender age that romantic relations between the sexes are only emerging, so the young creature is trying by all means to look into tomorrow and accelerate pleasant events. One of the methods to lift the veil over the future is fortune-telling in the name of the future guy, which will give an answer to such an exciting and delicate question.
Fortune telling
Very popular among young people and affordable fortunetelling. An ordinary bunch of onions, which exactly a week before Christmas, you need to buy at the nearest market, will help you find out the guy’s name. For the ceremony, we select as many things as there are potential boyfriends, but no more than 5-6. On each onion we write the initials of the applicants and place them in separate jars filled with water. We put capacities on the windowsill, closer to the light source.
Seven days later, the night before Christmas, banks are removed from their pedestal. The girl whispers the cherished words above them: "Onion-onion, whisper in your ear, who will be my beloved bridegroom!" After that, feathers that grew on vegetables for a week are measured. The bulb with the longest seedling is selected, after which the girl searches for the initials written on it. This guessing on the names of guys is very accurate, as it allows you to find out the name of the gentleman. Soaked vegetables are used to make a delicious onion soup, which will be the perfect dish after a heavy, short Christmas meal.
Fortune telling on the pillow
In the evening before St. Andrew's Day, Christmas or Old New Year, the girl prepares four pieces of paper. Three of them write the names and surnames of acquaintances of pretty young people, the fourth remains completely empty. Before going to bed, the fortuneteller, already in bed, kneels in front of the pillow, pours out papers on it, mixes them thoroughly and randomly shoves each into a separate corner of the pillow. Then he picks it up, twists it clockwise, saying: “A pillow-pillow made of soft feathers, let me dream of a sweet image. Whisper in my ear, I would like to know what it will be and how to call it!”
With the last uttering sound, the pillow freezes. You can’t move it anymore, otherwise guessing at the names of the guys will be invalid. The girl goes to bed. In the morning, not yet tearing her head from the pillow, she chooses any corner of it, after which she takes out the hidden paper. The name written on it will belong to the future boyfriend. If you come across an empty scrap, then you should not expect a gentleman this year.
Fortune telling on the golden ring
For a ceremony it is better to take your own jewelry. But if he is not, then you can borrow from mom or sister. The main thing is that the person was close by blood, not a widow or divorced woman. Through the ring we pass the thread. Ideally, if it is red, which symbolizes love and passion.
Next, we cut out small pieces of paper of the same shape and size. Their number can range from two to twenty pieces: it all depends on the presence of potential gentlemen in your life. On each scrap, write the name and surname, turn it with the clean side up, mix and place in a row. To them we bring a ring suspended on a thread. Slowly move the decoration over the surface.
This fortune telling about the names of the guys is a little long in time, since the girl must support the ring above each piece of paper, while observing the amplitude of his movements. We turn over the scrap over which the ring is as “active" as possible and read the name of our future young man.
Fortune telling on a guy (his love and name)
For the ceremony, you need an ordinary deck of 36 cards. We pull the jacks out of it, lay them in a row with the shirts up, and each of them is named after this or that applicant for a hand and heart. The remaining cards are shuffled horizontally: under each inverted jack should form a column. From it we select pairs: two tens, ladies, aces and so on. We debug them on the gentlemen. A similar procedure needs to be done three more times, after which you can flip jacks and see which pairs of cards fell on them.
If there are sixes opposite the enigmatic guy, this means that he is on his way to you, sevens are waiting for a meeting, he needs you, eights for an important conversation, nine for love, tens for interest, ladies for rival, kings for jealousy hand, aces are a huge passion. In complete silence, in the evening and by candlelight, it is better to conduct this fortune-telling on the cards. The name of the guy opposite which turned out to be two or more pairs of aces may belong to the future husband.
"Heart fortune telling"
It is better to do it on February 14 - Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is perfect because the heart is in the center of fortune-telling. With his left hand you need to draw on a piece of paper. The size is arbitrary, but not too small. Then cut 33 small squares from another sheet. They should be approximately the size so that 4-5 of them fit easily into the frame of the heart. On each of the pieces write one letter of the alphabet: from A to Z.
Turn them over and start interfering with the drawn heart. At the same time, you can whisper such a simple conspiracy: "My hot passionate heart, show me my boyfriend, open the secret of the name, let it always be mine!" Stop interfering. Turn the few squares that appear on the heart: these letters will be present in the surname and name of the future boyfriend. When fortunetelling, the girl should be completely alone: so she will be able to concentrate as much as possible and tune in to the secret rite.
Fortune telling at the first comer
Suitable only for the most daring and desperate. In the evening, when it gets dark, write on paper the phrase "What is the name of the future guy, a passerby will tell you," crumple it and hold it in your hand. Then go outside, walk exactly 300 steps from the threshold (entrance) and stop. The first stranger of the opposite sex that you meet, you need to ask: "What is your name?" At the same time, be sure to believe that he does not say his name, but your betrothed.
Guessing the names of guys in this way was carried out by our ancient ancestors. They believed that the random comer was the embodiment of otherworldly forces, a demon or a demon. Therefore, during fortune telling, you must necessarily remove the pectoral cross. When you get the answer to your question, cross yourself and, without looking back, go home.
All these rites are, of course, a little childish and naive, but at the same time very interesting and authentic. Fortune telling always comes true, if you believe in them. Therefore, if you are skeptical of them, it is better not to carry out the ritual. Although, who knows: perhaps in the customs invented by the
ancient Slavs lies not only mysterious content, but also true content.
