Fortune telling on the day of St. Andrew. How to guess at Andrei: the most unusual methods of fortune telling and does the church allow itself to predict the future
Tomorrow, December 13th folk calendar St. Andrew the First-Called is celebrated. It is also called the day of St. Andrew the Winter.
On this day, the memory of the Apostle Andrew the First-Called is celebrated - one of the twelve closest disciples of Jesus Christ and brother of the Apostle Peter. The brothers were born in Bethsaida, a city on the shores of the Lake of Galilee, and were fishermen. Andrew was the first person Jesus called to be his disciple. According to the Gospel of John, the first apostle was formerly a disciple of John the Baptist.
In Russia on Andrei, as on the eve, the peasants listened to the water - but not only in wells, but also in rivers and lakes. If the water was calm, it foreshadowed a warm winter without blizzards. If humming and groans were heard, it was necessary to wait for storms, severe frosts and, in general, an unhappy year.
They also paid attention to other signs. For example, it was believed that if it snows on St. Andrew's Day, then it will lie for another 110 days. Healers and healers considered the day of St. Andrew the First-Called to be their holiday. The girls on this day prayed to the apostle for good grooms and guessed at the betrothed. The magical rites of St. Andrew's Day were a kind of rehearsal before the big Christmas divination. On the eve of the girl, who wants to know her fate, observed the fast - but in such a way that none of her relatives noticed this.
Fortune telling on St. Andrew the First-Called, on the night of December 12-13, has already become a good old tradition. Girls, in order to find out their future, gathered with best friends on this magical night to tell fortunes. Divination awakens new hopes and faith in miracles. With them you get closer to your "feminine" mystical power. And each fortune-telling has its own destiny, its own story, which is reflected in your life.
Note that Andrei can only guess at men.
And here are the ten most popular fortune-telling that girls resort to in our time.
1. Fortune telling on the betrothed with the help of notes
The simplest type of divination for the future groom, which does not require additional preparations, is fortune telling with the help of notes. For this fortune-telling, the girl must write the names of the guys on pieces of paper and put these pieces of paper under the pillow. In the morning, immediately after waking up, the girl should take out the first piece of paper she comes across and read the name. This is her betrothed, disguised.
2. Fortune telling on cards
Before going to bed, you need to put four kings under the pillow with the words: “Who is my betrothed, who is my mummers, dream me in a dream.” The groom will dream in the form of a king.
3. Divination by the window
When everyone in the house goes to bed, the girl should turn off the light, go to the window and look into it and say: "Betrothed, dressed up, dream me dressed up!". Then the girl goes to bed. At night, she must dream of her future fiance.
Or there is another way of divination by the window. He will even let you know if the groom will be rich or poor.
When everyone in the house goes to bed, the girl should turn off the light, and then sit at the closed and curtained window, saying: “Betrothed, mummers, go past the window.” After a while, the girl should hear people driving past her window. If the sound is loud, people scream and whistle, then it means family life will be cheerful, and the groom will be rich. When they drive or pass by her window quietly, then she is destined to marry a poor guy.
4. Fortune telling on a walnut shell
Several girls are guessing. You will need a walnut shell, wax candles and a bowl (basin) of water. Candles are placed in nut shells and these "boats" are put into a basin of water. Then each girl lights a candle on her boat. Whose ship sinks first, that girl will never marry. And in whose shell the candle burns out first, that girl will marry the fastest.
5. Fortune telling with a frying pan
You need to put the frying pan under your mom's bed, but in a way that she doesn't know it. What to do next? Before going to bed, say to yourself: “Betrothed, mummers, come to your mother-in-law to eat pancakes.” And in the morning you need to ask your mother what she dreamed about. If in a dream she fed some guy pancakes, ask him to describe his appearance. He is your future fiance.
6. Divination with water and straw (bridge)
You need to pour water into a plate, put a few straws on it (in the form of a bridge), put it under your bed. If at night you dream of a man who will take you across the bridge, try to remember him. He is your future husband.
7. Divination with water
Before going to bed, from 12 to 13, the girl must perform a ritual with water. It is necessary to pour the basin to the very top, take the lock, and lock it, saying: “Come, my betrothed, ask for a drink.” Belief says that future spouse should dream of a girl after such a fortune-telling.
8. Fortune telling with a glass, a ring and a hair (thread)
The ring must be thoroughly cleaned. Then, if the girl has long hair, then one is pulled out and a ring is hung on it. If the hair is short, then the ring can be hung on a thread of black, white or red. Water is poured into a glass 3/4. A ring on a string is lowered into the water. It should not touch the water, but should be completely immersed in the glass.
And now the interpretation of our divination:
If you were thinking about marriage. First you need to ask a specific question, to which there will be an exact answer "yes" or "no". For example, you can ask: "Am I a girl?" Then the side in which our "pendulum" staggered is remembered - this will be the side of the answer "yes". Then you need to ask the question: "Will I get married this year?". If the pendulum swings in the direction of "yes", then the girl will get married within a year.
If you guessed at the age at which the girl will marry. It is necessary to firmly establish the hand that holds the "pendulum" so that it does not swing. After a while, he will begin to swing on his own. And then the girl considers how many times the ring hits the wall of the glass, at that many years she will get married.
If a girl guessed the gender of her unborn child. When the movements of the pendulum are circular - there will be a girl, and if from side to side - a boy.
9. Fortune telling on beans
Take a handful of large beans. Ask a question that interests you by pouring the beans from hand to hand. Then go through the beans, saying "yes" and "no", as in divination on a camomile. The last bean will be the answer to your question.
10. And now the most terrible fortune-telling IN THE MIRROR
Fortune-telling with mirrors is done before midnight all alone, before that, do not tell anyone about the upcoming fortune-telling. In an empty room, put a large mirror on a table without a tablecloth, with candles on both sides. Opposite the large mirror at some distance, install a second smaller mirror, so that it is reflected in the first mirror. Mutual reflection forms a "corridor". Put a handkerchief next to it;
Turn off the lights, light the candles and sit down at the table. Mentally make a wish to see the betrothed and look intently into the depths of the reflecting corridor. After a while, the image of the betrothed will appear in it. When the image appears, immediately cover the mirror with a handkerchief and in no case turn around at that moment.
Another way of divination with a mirror. When there are no clouds in the sky, and the moon shines well, go outside at midnight. Stand at the crossroads with a mirror with your back to the moon so that it is reflected in the mirror. Looking in the mirror, say: "Narrowed-mummer, show yourself to me in the mirror." When the image appears, immediately say: "Chur, me."
On this day, one could also pick a branch of a fruit tree - usually an apple tree - and put it in the water. If the branch turned green at Christmas, it meant that the girl would get married that year.
However, to believe in such fortune-telling or not is everyone's business. But to everyone who nevertheless decided to try their luck, we wish you to tell fortunes with pleasure!
The night of December 12-13, many are waiting for a reason. And all because on the night of St. Andrew the First-Called, you can find out about your fate. With great trepidation and even fear waiting unmarried girls this date, because fortune-telling on Andrei has a special power.

On December 13, the Orthodox will traditionally celebrate a holiday - the day of the Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called. On this day, for a long time, it was customary for guys to hooligan, and for girls - to guess.
On the night of December 12-13, evening parties usually gathered in Ukrainian villages, where young people could both sing and dance. Closer to midnight, the girls usually kicked the guys out of the hut, and they themselves began to guess, trying to find out what the betrothed and life with him would be like.
For this, both shoes (throwing a boot over the gate) and food were used. Namely: divination on balabushki was one of the most popular. About how our great-great-grandmothers guessed and how you can predict the fate of modern young ladies (and not only unmarried ones).
For those who do not approve of fortune-telling, you can simply bake the most delicious meatless buns, turn off the TV, light a candle, creating a quiet holiday atmosphere in the house ... After all, the New Year and Christmas holidays will come soon and it would be nice to discuss plans for the future with the family.
Divination for Andrey is one of the most fun Ukrainian traditions. As a rule, on the evening of December 12, girls and boys gathered for parties, joked, played different games, and then guessed. Most of all, I was interested in whether they would marry in next year. However, during fortune-telling they tried to find out the occupation of the groom, and even see him himself.
1. One of the most simple ways fortune-telling on Andrey - go outside, close your eyes and throw your boot. In which direction the toe of the boot points, the groom will be from there. The place of residence of the betrothed can be found out in another way. In the old days, girls went out into the yard one after another and said:
O Holy One, good Andriy,
I deprive you of my hope!
I also want to know
May I see the stars of the betrothed?
The words had to be spoken three times, and then wait for the dog to bark. From which side he is heard, the matchmakers will come from there.
2. The traditional way of fortune-telling for Andrey is fortune-telling on balabushkas, small loaves of white flour and water. At the same time, in order to knead the balabushki, water must be brought in the mouth from the well itself. Each girl sculpts her own loaf and marks it with a colored thread. After baking, the bread is laid out and a hungry dog is allowed into the house. Whose balabushka the dog eats first, that girl will be the first to marry.
3. However, there is another way to find out who will marry first. The shoes of all the girls are lined up in a chain one after another from the farthest corner of the room to the threshold. The girl whose shoe crosses the threshold first will be the first to marry.
4. To find out if it is worth preparing for the wedding next year, you need to take a ring, a sprig of myrtle, a doll and a paper flower. Put each thing under a separate plate, secretly from the girl who is guessing. After that, the girl must choose "her plate." If there is a ring under the plate, this portends imminent marriage. A paper flower means that you will have to sit in girls all next year. A sprig of myrtle speaks of separation from a loved one, and a doll speaks of betrayal.
5. There are even several ways to see the groom. For example, you can use a mirror. True, they say that this method is suitable only for brave girls, because you need to guess alone, and anything can be seen in the mirror. To see the face of the betrothed, you need to put a mirror in front of you and light two candles on both sides of it. After that say:
I feed you, mirror,
Why do I have my share of evil?
Please contact Ivank
I wear bo yoga in my heart.
These words should be pronounced three times, and then turn away from the mirror and say with closed words:
Saint Andrew, help me,
Show my judge!
I tell fortunes on my wine,
I ask for protection from the stars!
Give, God, the daughter of a daughter,
Ring me with Ivan.
After that, you need to sharply turn around and look in the mirror. The main thing is not to be afraid, because in the mirror the face of not Ivan, but some unknown guy. If you fail to see the face for the first time, fortune-telling can be repeated two more times. If after three times no one appears in the mirror, it means that the betrothed is somewhere on the road.
6. Another way to find out what the groom will look like is to see him in a dream. To do this, you need to put a scallop under the pillow and say "Sudzheny my, row, come scratch me." And go to sleep. You can use another fortune-telling option - put a bowl of water under the bed, and put a plank on top. This design symbolizes masonry across the river. Going to bed you need to say several times:
0 God forbid, young me,
I dreamed of my judgments in a dream.
I to you, Saint Andrew,
I ask, as I can:
Saint Andrew, help me,
Do not leave me today!
Oh ty, mystochok, she did not hili,
And you, Ivanka, dream of me.
Cross the river - fast water,
Lead me to the slubu me, young.
7. It's easier than ever to find out the name of the groom. The girls write the names of the guys on pieces of paper, and then they put the pieces of paper in a hat and mix it up. It remains only to rely on fate and pull out a piece of paper with a name at random. Another option is to go outside and ask for the name of the first man you meet. This is the name of the groom.
8. There are also ways to find out the profession of the betrothed. So, you can dig up the earth in the garden, pick it up in a handful and bring it into the house. And then take a closer look. If a chip is found in the ground, then the husband will be a carpenter, if a nail, then a blacksmith, if a piece of glass, a glazier. If there is nothing superfluous in the ground, then the husband will be a grain grower. A thread or stem found in the ground means that the betrothed will be a good family man, and a feather will be a learned person. A pebble portends a purposeful husband, but a piece of coal speaks of an unhappy marriage.
9. Even the time left before marriage can be found on the night of Andrei. To do this, the girl must string a golden thread on her hair. wedding ring and drop it into a vase or glass. How many times the ring hits the edges of the vase, after so many months there will be a wedding.
10. A sprig of cherry, apple or bird cherry, you just need to put on the windowsill in the water. While saying:
Saint Andrew,
May I hope on You:
Let the cherry blossoms
And she brought my share to the threshold.
If it blooms before Christmas, the girl will be happy next year.
Prayer of a girl for the gift of good suitors
When the furnace is heated, it is necessary to say into the chimney: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Smokes you smokes, go you, smokes, over high mountains, over blue seas, find you, smokes, the servant of God (name) and kindle you, smokes, the servant of God (name) has a liver and lungs so that the servant of God (name) does not could neither live nor eat without the servant of God (name), so that he would not be at peace, so that he would think everything, mourn for the servants of God (name).

* * *
On the same day, in private, say twice: I will stand, blessed, go out, crossing myself, out of the hut with doors, out of the courtyard with gates, I will stand on the eastern side. On the eastern side, a fiery mother-river flows. I will pray to you, I will obey you. Do not walk through quicksand swamps, do not walk through dense forests, go into action, into the flesh of the servant of God (name). Kindle it, break it up so that you can neither sleep on a soft bed, nor work during the day in the sun, at night for a month, and the servant of God (name) seemed better than the white light, better than the red sun, better than mother and father. Amen».

How to guess on Andrei: the most unusual methods of fortune telling, does the church allow fortune telling, methods of fortune telling on the night of December 12-13
It is generally accepted that Andrew's holiday is a traditional day of divination or fortune-telling. The date of December 13, according to the new style, is not tied, at first glance, to any natural phenomena. But according to the old style, this is November 30 - the last day of autumn, the last tribute to the old Sun.
Whether to guess or not to guess
Folk traditions of divination are forgotten, losing their form and content. But on the night of December 13, many girls want to look into their future. However, it should be understood that during fortune-telling a person makes a choice: he gives up his will, relying on the decision of signs or a fortune teller. And the more often he does this, the more he gets used to looking for a way out of a difficult situation on his own, and the more more people becomes weak and dependent.
Besides, divination is a sin against the first commandment of God.
The church is unambiguously against fortune-telling. It is a sin. Because with the man through supposedly magical rituals manipulations are being carried out with his future, which is known, as we know, only to God. Such tricks with the Creator with a look into the future, as history shows, do not bode well. Therefore, divination has nothing to do with church holidays and traditions, their roots are in paganism,
- explained the priest Michael Leda.
According to him, today more and more shows are being made from fortune telling, that is, it is turning into another way to have fun. After all, many establishments on this day offer to try to tell fortunes on their fate.
“Divination, in whatever form it is carried out, is a sin,” the priest emphasized.
Traditions of divination for Andrew
Why are they guessing at Andrey
On Andrei, December 13, young men and women looked at each other during parties. After Epiphany, the season of winter weddings began, so it was quite possible to meet your love at parties on Andrey.
It is not surprising that girls on St. Andrew's day tell fortunes about their betrothed. This is a kind of rehearsal before fortune-telling at Christmas time (Christmas Eve).

Fortune telling on Andrey: what not to do before fortune telling
There are many ways to predict your destiny. And if you still decide to guess at Andrey, read the material on how this can be done at home.
Girls sculpted dumplings or pies from yeast dough. The girls carried water for the test by mouth, and the guys made them laugh at that time. Each girl sculpted her own special dumpling, after which they were put in a row and the nearest pet was called. Whose dumpling or pie the pet eats, that girl will be the first to marry.
They believed that if a dog or a cat brought a dumpling into a corner, then the girl would get married and go far from home.
The girl stays alone in the room and takes in right hand gold or silver chain. Clutching the chain in a fist, the girl should focus on the issue that interests her most. This may be a question about the future of the groom, and the number of children. Having clearly imagined what exactly she is interested in, the girl throws the chain on the table and looks at the figure that has come out.
How to guess on Andrey using a chain
There are different interpretations of the figures, the most popular of which are:
- circle: in the future there will be a situation, for the unraveling of which a lot of effort will have to be made;
- oval: a difficult situation, but will not require special losses;
- a straight line: success and the most auspicious time to make your dreams come true;
- snake: you should be careful and not trust the people around you,
- tangled knot: expect intrigues;
- triangle: a sign of good luck in business;
- a butterfly or a bow: for dates, love, and, possibly, a wedding;
- a chain formed into some letter: wait for a new romance with a person whose name begins with this letter.
You need to take a few opaque cups. Spread bread, onion, salt, sugar, ring, money in them, pour water into one. There should be as many guessers as there are cups. Each of those gathered in turn chooses a cup with their eyes closed. Onions - to tears, bread - to prosperity, a ring - to a wedding, water - pregnancy awaits you, salt - be careful, as trouble may await you in the near future. If you got a cup of sugar, fun will soon await you. Money - become rich.
By evening, young men and women gather, take a tray, pour various small things on it: some - a ring, some - a cufflink, some - an earring, some - a button, a coin, and the like. They cover the tray with a towel, sing, then shake the tray under the towel several times, throw off the towel, and, without looking, everyone drags with their left hand one of the knick-knacks lying on it.
How to guess on Andrey on small things
It resembles something like a house lottery. The one who gets, for example, a coin will get rich, whoever gets a handkerchief will grieve in the new year, whoever gets the key will get a new home. And the one who gets the ring should roll it on the floor, while observing which way it rolls: if to the door, be in the coming year of the wedding.
It was assumed fate and with the help of matches. Two matches were placed on a plate of water: one is a guy, ideally the one with whom the girl sympathizes; the second is the symbol of the girl herself. Then you need to blow on these matches: if they come together from the girl’s breath, then this is a sign that the conceived gentleman will become the groom.
The girls go out at midnight to the crossroads, each draws a circle, stands by him and begins to listen to the sounds of the street - if he hears joyful cries, laughter, songs - he will soon get married. But if a girl hears someone's quarrel, crying or lamentations - she should remain, according to popular belief, in girls.
This method can be called strange and creepy. The girl covers the table in an empty room with a tablecloth, makes it with dishes, except for a knife and a fork, and says: “Betrothed-mummers, come to dinner with me.” Everyone goes out, and she, left alone, locks the windows and doors and waits.
A creepy way of divination for Andrey: an invitation to dinner
Signs of the approach of the betrothed: the howling of the wind, blows on windows and doors. Then the betrothed appears. The girl should sit in her place, not answer questions, notice facial features and clothes. The betrothed sits down at the table and begins to entertain her with a conversation.
The girl should suddenly wake up and point-blank ask: “What is your name?”. The betrothed calls the name and takes something out of his pocket. At this moment, the girl should say: "Chur, me!". The betrothed disappears.
They believed that it was possible to even find out the professions of their future husband on Andrey, the rosregistr website reports. To do this, the girls went to the river, collected silt from the bottom, brought it home and examined it. If a nail was found in the mud, the husband would be a blacksmith, if cod - a carpenter, sand - a bricklayer, and if nothing was found - a farmer.
Closer to midnight, the girl should put a chicken feather on the threshold and say: “There is an oak tree, there are 12 nests on it, 4 eggs in each nest, 7 chickens in each egg, one of them - show yourself, let me know what to expect in the future! ". When someone opened the door, the chicken feather, caught in the air, either flew out the door or flew into the house. If you are married outside the door, in the house - you will sit in the girls for another year.
Is it possible to predict your future - to believe only you. However, in ancient times Andreevsky gatherings were associated not only with this. Gatherings on the night of December 13 are a fun and bright action, jokes and laughter, which embraces not only young people, but also the older generation. These are losses, jokes, pranks, mostly guys, which are allowed only on St. Andrew's Night.
