Old New Year girl. Old New Year - customs, traditions, congratulations, divination

On Old New Year, January 13, 2017, there comes a magical time when you can guess about your future. Moreover, at this time, any object can become a sign, and any event - a hint of certain events.

During this magical time, the most popular types of divination are candle divination, divination by shadows, divination with mirrors, divination on dumplings, on cards, and many other methods.

Divination with mirrors has come to us from the depths of centuries. Young girls put lighted candles at the dressing table or at the mirrors, arranged so that they are reflected in each other. Fortune-tellers look into the “corridor” of mirrors and see various objects and symbols there that predict the future. They say that it becomes scary, because it is not known what can be seen there.

Divination by shadow is easier than divination by mirrors. You need to take a newspaper, crumple it not tightly and put it on the bottom of an ordinary dinner plate, then set it on fire, and holding it at some distance from the wall, look at the shadows that the burnt paper will “cast”. This is your future. For example, in this fortune-telling you can see your own wedding, travel or new job. To unravel the future, you need to turn on your imagination.

On the Old New Year, they often tell fortunes about the groom. They ask a familiar married woman wedding ring. Arrange cups on the table, one for each girl, upside down. Put a ring under one of the cups. Then fortunetellers should choose a cup for themselves. You can also guess one cup. When all the girls have decided, the secret of the location of the ring is revealed. The one who thought of a cup under which there was a ring can expect an offer from her future husband in the new year.

There is also a modern divination on TV. Do not be surprised, such fortune-telling is considered one of the most correct. It arose in our time, but the idea used is ancient. Until now, on the Old New Year in some villages, girls walk down the street on a winter night and listen to the voices of random passers-by. If the name sounds, it should be remembered. That is what the spouse will be called. Now there are a lot of "talking" devices right in the apartment. Guessing is recommended in the company. One person holds the TV remote control, the second calls the channel number. And the fortuneteller asks a question or makes a wish. As soon as the question is formulated, the fortuneteller says: "Done." The first assistant calls the channel number, the second one turns on the TV. Everyone must be silent. The first phrase you hear is the answer to your plan. But how to interpret it, you have to think about it. Here everything depends on the imagination.

The divergence of calendars in the 20th-21st centuries is 13 days. The Old New Year is a rare historical phenomenon that resulted from a change in the chronology. Due to this discrepancy in calendars, we celebrate two "New Years" - according to the old and new styles.

Folk omens for the Old New Year

As you know, there is a calendar folk signs and events, which contains unusual days and natural phenomena associated with them. The history of the holiday is also noted in it. Old New Year is called by folk calendar- Vasiliev day. People noticed that if the weather was frosty and with little snow, then this promised a bountiful harvest. The thaw on this day was perceived as a harbinger of a cold and lean summer. There were other signs as well. On the Old New Year, a blizzard broke out - nuts will be born.

"Avsen, avsen, you walked all over..."

Vasily's Day was a holiday of agriculture, in connection with this he met merrily: calendar songs were sung, round dances were performed, people started dancing. Traditional rituals were also used. On the Old New Year, sowing was carried out, wheat grain was scattered in the house. They also prayed that she would be born this summer.

The holy martyr Basil was considered the patron of not only agriculture, but also pig breeding, whose day was celebrated on the Old New Year. The story goes that the owners prepared meat dishes, pies, pork jelly. It was believed that this would bring health and happiness to all households. In addition, it was necessary to treat the guests with meat, so that night people went to each other - and congratulate, and taste goodies.

What kind of porridge you make, so you will spend a year

One more interesting tradition preserved the history of the holiday. Old New Year was a day of predictions. At night, elderly members of the family, a man and a woman, prepared ritual porridge. First, they waited until the oven heated up, and then they poured water over the cereal and put the pot in the oven overnight. By the way the porridge turned out, they determined what the coming year would be like. A whole pot and fragrant and crumbly porridge foreshadowed a happy future and a good harvest. Such a dish was eaten in the morning. If the cereal was out of the pot, running over the edge, or the vessel itself cracked, poverty and a lean year awaited the owners. In this case, the ritual porridge was not eaten, but immediately thrown away.

Even in ancient times, people said: "As you meet the year, so you will spend it." This statement, which has come down to our days, calls us to set a plentiful table with treats and dishes on a holiday and have fun, inviting wealth, prosperity and health to our home.

Prediction for the Old New Year

By ringlet

On the Old New Year, girls often guessed at the groom. You can do an impromptu quiz. Ask a married lady you know for an engagement ring. (Only it cannot be passed from hand to hand. This is a bad omen. It is believed that if a girl takes her engagement ring from the hands of a married lady, then fate will give her only not a free lover, but the lady will divorce. Neither one nor the other is needed.) It is better if the mistress of the ring is in your company (you can call your mother). Divination is done like this. We need to prepare cups, one per girl. The lady should arrange them upside down on the table. Put a ring under one. Naturally, everything must be done so that no one spies. Now fortunetellers must choose a cup for themselves. Not necessarily different. It is quite possible to think of one. When all the girls have decided, the secret of the location of the ring is revealed. The one that thought of the cup, under which it was, can expect a marriage proposal in the new year. The rest can be glad that there is time to enjoy youth and life without obligations!

How to know fate with the help of grains?

You know, in the old days, the most ordinary things or products were used for forecasts for the coming year. We will use any grain. In the old days, girls (and this is a female way of divination) went to the barn, and each one raked up wheat with a handful. So do it, just for simplicity, you can use any large grains (you can even coffee).

You should collect cereals as much as possible so that they do not fall on the floor. Then pour the grains in front of you and count. The resulting number follows by adding constituent parts down to a simple number.

Example: you have 274 grains in your handful. So do: 2+7+4= 13; 1+3=4.

Therefore, you get a four. There is only one exception to this rule: if at some stage of addition the number 66 appears, then you should not continue counting. The ritual will not be true. And the rest of the numbers are deciphered as follows:

1. fulfillment of all desires, fate is in your hands;
2. be with a couple this year;
3. the girl will be courted by several admirers, it is not necessary to decide before next year, since the choice will be wrong;
4. moving to another house;
5. a new fulfillable dream will light up;
6. boring year;
7. wedding;
8. unrequited love;
9. good change in fate.

Previously, they only talked about marriage. But now the nine is interpreted more widely. She portends what a woman aspires to. That is, one can experience hopes for career growth, the realization of talent, wealth, admission to a university or something else that was planned earlier and leads to serious changes in life.

It so happened that the most favorite holiday of Russians is the New Year. We have been preparing for it for a long time and are celebrating it on a special scale.

New Year's festivities are also notable, of course, for Christmas week.

As always, it will last from 6 to 19 January. During this period, all kinds of fortune-telling are held, it is believed that fortune-telling is the most truthful at Christmas time.

Most of all, on the Old New Year, they like to guess unmarried girls. Nothing excites young girls so much as their future betrothed and whether they are destined for happiness or lack ...

The piggy bank of Christmas or New Year fortune-telling is constantly replenished, time does not stand still, the methods are being improved, adjusted to the present, but the most traditional fortune-telling is widely known and remains "in fashion". Maybe because they really come true?

The well-known divination on wax is very easy to perform. He needs a wax (not paraffin) candle and a saucer of water (preferably melted snow from the street).

The candle is lit and as it melts, the wax is poured into a saucer of water, which must be twisted clockwise. The wax should drip freely. You can also pour pre-melted wax into a saucer.

In water, the wax quickly hardens and then, according to its shape or the cast shadow, the fortuneteller predicts fate.

Sometimes in wax figures you can see certain person, sometimes a heart or a flower. These symbols mean that this year you will meet love.

Fortune telling on a wedding ring

This is just one of the options for divination with the help of a ring. A group of unmarried girls gather to see if they will get married this year. It is necessary to borrow an engagement ring from one of the married acquaintances in advance (just do not pass it from hand to hand).

Several cups or saucers are placed on the table upside down. Under one of the cups you need to put a ring. Then the cups are mixed in the manner: "I twist, I twist, I want to confuse."

Then the girls choose a cup for themselves (two or more are possible) and turn them over at the same time. The one under whose cup there was a ring can expect, if not marriage, then acquaintance with her betrothed this year.

This fortune-telling is not easy for those who live in high-rise buildings. Indeed, to carry it out, you need to go outside at midnight and, turning your back on the road, throw over your shoulder, as far as possible, a boot, slipper or other piece of footwear. Where the shoes fell toe, from there and wait for the groom.

The saddest option is if the slipper points with its toe to the side from which it arrived, that is, to the girl herself. This means that this year she will not meet love and will not get married.

If the toe of the shoe looks towards the church, then a wedding and a wedding are possible, if towards the factory, then the husband will be from working people, and so on.

Divination on a towel

In the old days, every marriageable girl embroidered her own dowry - towels, towels, sundresses, tablecloths. But nowadays you can take a simple clean white towel.

Before going to bed, a towel is hung out of the window on the street, while the girl says: “Betrothed, mummers, come and dry yourself with a towel.” Then the girl goes to bed.

Since ancient times, the period of Christmas time (January 7 to 19) was considered special. Many believed that these days fate could lift the veil of secrecy. Divination and various signs helped to learn about the future. On the night of the old New Year, unmarried girls guessed at their betrothed. It was believed that from January 13 to 14, you can get the most truthful answers to all questions.

Signs and traditions

It used to be believed that if on the night of January 13-14 a wind blows from the south, it means that the year will be prosperous and warm, if milk and fish will be in abundance from the west, and a rich harvest of fruits from the east. The people said: "Vasily's night is starry - to the harvest of berries."

At this time, it was a bad sign to say the word "thirteen", in this case, expect failure all year. It was also impossible to count pennies, otherwise you will shed tears later. People believed that a child born on January 14 would definitely become rich. On the same day, it was not worth throwing out the garbage, it was believed that by doing so a person endures his happiness.

On the table in Vasiliev evening should be kutya or juicy. Halva, nuts, raisins and honey were in abundance, because the more generous the delicacy, the richer the New Year will be. Also on the table were dishes from the meat of a rooster, a hare or a pig. So, pork predicted wealth, a rooster - freedom, a hare - success in all endeavors.
