Fortune telling for the old New Year

Previously, in the old New Year, it was necessary to enlist the support of the Higher forces and to fortune on a new crop. For this, the hostess gave the youngest children in the family grain and ordered them to scatter around the house. It was necessary to observe how the grain lay down: one by one or in heaps, it covers the entire floor or there are bald spots. Then the grain was carefully collected and stored until sowing, and then mixed with seeds and sown fields.

To find out what this year promises the family, they brewed blessed porridge. Late in the evening, the oldest woman in the family followed the groats to the barn, and the oldest man went to the well for water. After that, the whole family sorted through the cereals, while maintaining complete silence, and put the cast iron in the furnace. At this moment, everyone had to get up from the table and bow to the porridge in his belt with the words:

"Blessed porridge, blessed porridge, tell me what awaits us next year."

If the finished porridge ran out of cast iron or burned, and the cast iron cracked, then such signs promised the family troubles and various misfortunes. This porridge was thrown into the flowing water so that it would take away all the troubles with it. And if the porridge turned out to be ruddy and crumbly, then a good year should be expected, successful in everything. Porridge was left on the table, and in the morning the whole family ate straight from cast iron.

In the southern regions of Russia and in Ukraine, the custom of generosity is widespread. Young boys and girls dressed up in strange and unusual costumes walked around the village with generous songs, congratulating the holiday and begging for refreshments. It is believed that the more and more varied you serve the mummers, the more successful the new year will be.

If you leave the table during a gala dinner and look at the brightly lit windows of neighboring houses, you can predict the future of your relatives. If people sitting at the table are clearly visible, then the whole family will be together all year, if someone is not visible, only conversations are heard, it can be concluded that someone will not be around for some time.

Christmas time is the right time for divination by grooms. The easiest and easiest fortune-telling at home - on a string. Unmarried girls pick up threads of the same length and simultaneously set them on fire. That girl whose thread burns faster than anyone, is the fastest and will marry. If the thread accidentally goes out, then this is a bad sign: it will take a long time to wait for the groom.

A simple way of fortune telling on nutshells. Put two shells in a large bowl of water and observe: if the shells converge, soon there will be a wedding, if they will swim separately, the girl will not wait for the desired proposal, and if one of the shells drowns, it will take a long time to wait for marriage.
