Rituals and divination for the Old New Year

Old New Year! This day is one of the most powerful in the year, in terms of the fulfillment of desires and fortune-telling.

Therefore, be sure to take advantage of the opportunities of the Old New Year.

Problem Burning Ritual

Surely, you are already familiar with this ritual, but on the night of January 13-14, i.e. on the eve of the Old New Year, it is simply necessary! Take a small plate and cut small pieces of paper. On each of them, write what you would like to leave last year: illnesses, fears, tears, disappointments. BUT! We will write not “in general”, but specifically. Are you carrying the burden of a recent quarrel with a nasty Sveta ?! So write about her! Worried about not having a good job? We complain about unemployment, etc.

Then burn each of these leaves in a prepared plate with words of gratitude, because with this fire not only relief will come, but the solution to all pressing problems!

Ritual for the fulfillment of a wish on the Old New Year

When it's almost midnight on the clock, fill your glass! You can take any drink. Blow on the water in a glass (or whatever you have there) and say out loud or to yourself your desire. At 00:00, drink the liquid to the bottom and go to bed calmly ... and the Universe will take care of the fulfillment of your desire.

I give, I receive, I embody the dream!

Unfortunately, the Old New Year has not been marked on the calendar as a day off for a long time, but this fact will not lead you off our little magical path of wish fulfillment. Before leaving for work, or when you wake up, take some crumbs of bread or cereal in your hand (in extreme cases, you can crumble a cookie), go outside (or onto the balcony), think about your desire and throw these crumbs with the words: “I give, I receive I am making my dream come true!

Nothing more is required of you. Let the sparrows or doves feast on your little treat, and at this time you will already take an important start towards the realization of the goal ..

A simple conspiracy for the Old New Year

When all the dishes are removed from the table, take the tablecloth, shake it three times and say: “How many crumbs there were on this table, there would be so much happiness in our family.”

Ritual for good luck in the new year

In any ritual, the main thing is to believe, and the objects for him are not the main thing. The next ritual should be done on the morning of January 13 - we wake up and start making a magic mixture - we take a pot and pour it, first millet - a handful with our right hand - saying "Let troubles and problems go away", then with a left hand a handful of rice - saying: "Let there be stability and balance in my life." Next, you need to pour a handful of different cereals that you have at home and wish yourself and your loved ones everything that you want to receive in the new year.

In the evening, put a mixture of cereals on a festive table or dinner, be sure to pour it into glasses (not necessarily alcohol), raise toasts, and pour the rest of the drops into a pot. On the morning of 14, go outside and feed the birds with these cereals.

Rite of attracting love for the Old New Year

This rite is valid only once a year - on the Old New Year.

This is not a love spell, so you should not perform a ceremony to bewitch a married man or return a former loved one.

On the night of January 14 at 22-23 hours, sit down at the table in clean, preferably new clothes, loose your hair. Three candles - red, white and gold are tied together in a bundle with a red thread (the length of the thread is to wrap the thread around the left wrist three times). Place candles in a glass (preferably crystal) with water on a round mirror, light it and say: “Power of fire, turn the love of the betrothed to me. Let his love be hot like a flame, pure like water, and deep like a mirror. When the flame reaches the water, my labors will be crowned with success. My word is strong."

Within a month after the ceremony, you will meet your man.

Before performing the ceremony, you need to forgive all the former, whom you are still offended by, let go of fears and doubts, complexes about your loneliness. And everything will work out.

Ritual for the Old New Year from quarrels and scandals

If frequent scandals and quarrels occur in the house, in the family, use the ritual below to restore peace to the family. On the eve of the Old New Year (January 13), get up early and at sunrise go around all the premises of the dwelling with a lit wax candle clockwise. In each room, stop and read three times:

"God's fire, help! All quarrels, scandals, lessons, win winners,
leave no trace of any evil."

Bend over the bucket (previously filled with unopened water) and say three times:

“In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Water-water, wash my home from quarrels and scandals,
dashing from evil spirits, and let love and peace remain in the house.

Thoroughly wash the floors in the whole house (apartment) with this water, and then sprinkle the corners and walls. Then draw as much water as is enough to give tea to all family members, put a container next to the sugar bowl, and then say seven times:

“Sugar is sweet to everyone, big and small. I’ll sweeten some water, give my family a drink, and in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, scandals for distant distances will leave their souls.”

Boil water, make tea. You need to drink it before the chiming clock with the whole family, adding sugar.

Ritual for money

Held only on the Old New Year. Melt the candle wax, make a small cake out of it. Write your name on one side of it, and your code number on the other. This figure is obtained by adding all the digits of your date of birth.

For example, I was born on June 14, 1977.
Add up all the constituent numbers: 1+4+6+1+9+7+7=35=3+5=8
The result is the number 8, which will be the code number. Then close up the wax cake with coins, which you had to carry with you for a day.

Keep this amulet in the place where the money is stored: a safe, a closet, a wallet.

Well, how can you do without fortune-telling??!!

Divination by candle flame for the Old New Year

Buy a white candle. On a festive night, put it in a room where there are no drafts. Light it up and watch the flame for 10-15 minutes.

If the flame is quiet and even, then the year will pass quietly and without shocks.

If the flame is bright, but flashes frequently, then in general everything will be fine, except for small minor problems.

If the burning of a candle is accompanied by distinct crackles, then the coming year will pass in turbulent affairs, cheerful companies with many funny adventures.

If the flame burns dimly, get ready for a boring life filled with petty fuss.

If the flame burns distinctly yellow, there will be much joy.

And tomorrow I will tell you about Christmas fortune-telling, which lasts from Christmas (January 7) until Epiphany (January 19).

Try to spend a joyful evening: even if things don’t go well, on the “Old New Year’s” night you can’t get upset, immerse yourself in experiences. Be cheerful and positive. It is your state, your mood this evening, your faith in the mercy of fate and the power of rituals that will give impetus to the fulfillment of your desires.

Good luck and all the best to you in the New Year!

With the passage of the holidays on January 1 and the Nativity of Christ, New Year's miracles do not end, and you still have a whole week to prepare for magical rituals, ceremonies and conspiracies for the Old New Year.

After all, this holiday, which has Slavic roots, is endowed with magical power even more than the transition from December 31 to January 1.

Also on January 14, Vasily's Day comes, which can influence the whole next year, and these miracles must be applied in order to fulfill a cherished desire, attract love into your life, improve your financial situation, etc.

Old, proven and very effective ceremonies, rituals, as well as conspiracies that need to be carried out on the night of January 13-14 will help you with this.

Rituals for the fulfillment of desires for the Old New Year

When it's almost midnight on the clock, fill your glass! Drinking alcohol is not necessary at all, you can get by with ordinary compote.

Blow on the drink in the glass and say out loud or silently your wish. At 00:00, drink the liquid to the bottom and go to bed calmly, and the Universe will take care of the fulfillment of your desire.

Before leaving for work, or when you wake up, take some crumbs of bread or cereal in your hand, go outside (or onto the balcony), think about your desire and throw these crumbs with the words:.

“I give, I receive, I embody the dream!”

Nothing more is required of you. Let sparrows or doves feast on your little treat, and at this time you will already take an important start towards realizing your goal.

On the eve of the Old New Year (from January 13 to 14), before the clock strikes 12, take a colored sheet of paper and cut out a small star from it. We determine the color and shape of the star ourselves.

Think about what dream you would like to realize and formulate your desire. Let your dream sound short and concise, do not use denials and catchy “I want”. For example: "I'm going to the Bahamas" or "I'm buying a car."

Wait until midnight, and immediately after the onset of the Old New Year, put your star on your palm, open the window (go outside, onto the balcony) and say: “As the star of desires lights up on New Year's Eve, so my dream comes true”

“Light” your star with fire (matches, lighters), and scatter the ashes through the air. Do not be embarrassed that in the end you will have to burn your star, in fact, on this magical night, it will transform into a guiding star that will illuminate your path to the fulfillment of desire.

To make a wish come true, on the night of January 13-14, you need to write a wish on a piece of paper, put the sheet under the tree, and on January 14, at noon, burn it.

Good luck in the New Year

There is an old Siberian recipe! Local merchants have long used it to strengthen their financial affairs. At one time, Count Menshikov found out about this unusual way to protect his finances and brought his secret to Moscow. Every year he cooked and ate a special dish, attracting success to his future.

Here is the recipe for this ancient salad - "The Secret of Siberian Merchants".

Pour a lettuce leaf with sunflower oil, put some finely chopped carrots on top (precisely chopped, not grated), then finely chopped apple and sprinkle it all with crushed hazelnuts. Wrap everything, as in a bag, in a lettuce leaf and tie it with a green onion feather.

The bag should be about the size of a chicken egg. This work of culinary and divinatory art must be eaten at midnight from January 13 to 14. Just put it whole in your mouth and chew.

Why do these ingredients appear in the Siberian salad? Everything is explained:

lettuce is a field of activity
we grease our path with oil so that it is easy to move along it
carrots are needed to strengthen and develop the business: carrot roots grow into the ground, take its strength, and the business becomes stronger
an apple removes the evil eye from your business, does not allow it to be "interrupted"
the nut gives vitality to the one who prepared and ate the salad
the pouch ties up so it's all for one person only
the green bow with which he was tied, like an arrow, deflects blows from evil people and fate

The next ritual should be done on the morning of January 13 - we wake up and start making a magic mixture - we take a pot and pour millet first - a handful with our right hand - saying: “Let troubles and problems go away”, then with my left hand a handful of rice - saying: “Let my life be stability and balance. Next, you need to pour a handful of different cereals that you have at home and wish yourself and your loved ones everything that you want to receive in the new year.

If you buy a pomegranate on January 14, it will attract luck into your life, if, eating grain by grain, you say the following words: “The Month of January, the Sovereign of winter, he turned fortune to me, he accomplished my work. Exactly".

Rituals to attract money

A very simple and effective ritual that can only be performed on the Old New Year. The ritual requires little preparation. For several days, carry 2 silver coins in your wallet (best of all, 5 rubles each). They have to get used to you.

On the eve of the Old New Year, take a green candle (this color attracts money, the dollar is not accidentally green!), Melt some wax. Make a small cake and stick the prepared coins on it on both sides.

May your talisman be with you on New Year's Eve. In the morning, put it in a green canvas bag and hide it in a secluded place, for example, where you keep money and jewelry. The talisman will attract prosperity to you all year round. Checked!

This ritual has a slightly modified version. It is also held only on the Old New Year.

Melt the candle wax, make a small cake out of it. Write your name on one side and your code number on the other. This figure is obtained by adding all the digits of your date of birth.

For example, you were born on March 6, 1981. We add up all the constituent numbers: 6 (date of birth) + 3 (month of birth) + 1 + 9 + 8 + 1 (year of birth). The result is the number 1, which will be your code number.

Then close up the wax cake with coins, which you had to carry with you for a day. Keep this amulet in the place where the money is stored: a safe, a closet, a wallet.

Use yeast dough for this ceremony. It must grow.

Prepare any dough for baking, when it rises, crush it three times with your hands and say the words of the conspiracy three times:

“As you, the dough, grow and rise upwards, as you grow up and down, and expand in breadth, so in my house there will always be money, they will multiply and be fruitful. Never in my house, the servants of God (name), money will not run out. May it come true what is said. Amen. Amen. Amen".

After the dough, you need to bake bread and treat them to all family members living with you in the house.

At the beginning, they read the plot as many times as they have turned years old on this day, clasping their little fingers:

“Gold, gold, pour to me like peas in the bins, like barley grains in the threshing floor, like rye in the current. Gold, gold, stick to my hands like flies to honey, butterflies to the light, grass to the sun. Gold, gold, pour into my pockets without counting, without measure, handfuls and handfuls. Gold, gold, be friends with me, like ice with water, a nightingale with spring, dew with grass. I am not a merchant-morgash, I am a good merchant: I sell with honor, I hang in excess, I measure with powder, I cut with an increase, I pour with the remainder. Be in my barn a treasure and a harmony, without ruin, without burning in all the days and years of my burnout.

After reading the plot, you need to make a charm. Take unlined paper and write in red ink like this:

The letters are aligned with the last "D": this letter in the first and last lines should be on the same level.

Outline the text on paper with a red frame, fold it four times, sew it with red threads into a red cloth and carry the amulet with you. It is believed that the amulet will be profitable, especially if you read the plot more often.

If you are worried about your income, on the eve of the Old New Year or Epiphany, go to the church and give alms to at least three beggars. When serving, be sure to say to yourself: "To whom Christ is not a father, I am not a mother."

With this simple ritual, you will surely attract money from where you did not expect at all.

For love

On the eve of the Old New Year, take three candles (red, white and green). Light them up and place them in a crystal carafe of water. Place the decanter on a round mirror.

Ask that your love be as pure as spring water, hot as a flame and transparent as a mirror. Repeat the spell 3 times. Your betrothed will certainly come to you in the near future.

If you are unlucky in love, and fortune-telling does not justify hopes, you can perform the so-called "rite of love". It takes place both on Epiphany and on the Old New Year (on the night of January 13-14).

Burn your underwear, take some ashes, pull out three hairs from your head on the left side and roll it all into a wax ball. Throw this ball at midnight out the window with the words:

“I remove suffering and loneliness, and I bring love closer to myself.”

This rite is valid only once a year - on the Old New Year.

This is not a love spell, so you should not perform a ceremony to bewitch a married man or return a former loved one. If a man is your Destiny, then he will come to you himself. After the ritual

Now the ritual itself:

Put candles in a glass (preferably crystal) with water on a round mirror, light it and say:

“Power of fire, turn the love of the betrothed to me. Let his love be hot like a flame, pure like water, and deep like a mirror. When the flame reaches the water, my labors will be crowned with success. My word is strong."

Within a month after the ceremony, you will meet your man.

Before performing the ceremony, you need to forgive all the former, whom you are still offended by, let go of fears and doubts, complexes about your loneliness. And everything will work out.

Do you want to get married and are waiting for the prospective groom to visit? Add orange oil to your cleaning water. And not only in the water for cleaning, but also in the bath, which you will then take.

rituals for health

Clothes contain bad energy. If you are experiencing health problems, burn some old thing on New Year's Eve without regret. All diseases will burn with it!

According to ancient beliefs, it is necessary to burn the thing that was worn in the "sore" place. The heart is not in order - burn the T-shirt.

Sore legs or aching back? Send your trousers to the fire. Headaches? An old hat has no place in your closet!

Held on Epiphany and on the Old New Year.

At midnight, take off the thing and burn it with the words:

“I burn the thing, but I remove the disease from myself forever.”

And the water is beauty. I will wash my white face in it and I will appear to young fellows, old old men, elderly men, decrepit old women, young girls, elderly widows more beautiful than the red sun, the clear moon, the morning ray.

To do this, first do a general cleaning, adding a little holy water or water consecrated by you on this day to ordinary water. When washing the room, read the conspiracy that calls the Higher Forces into the house:

Collection of different rituals January 13

Magic clean sheet

Within an hour of the Old New Year, take a blank sheet of paper and write on it in large letters: "New Era - New Me."

Below, you can indicate with points how you would like to see yourself in the new year. Do you want health? Write: "I am well." Dreaming of harmony, mark: "I am slim and attractive." Do you want love, money, or something else? Write about it too!

All phrases must be in present tense! Once your list is ready, put it under your pillow for one night.

Every morning for the next 30 days, you need to reread all the items from your sheet. Nothing can be added or removed from it!

After this period, hide the sheet in a secluded place, and ... leave it there until the next Old New Year. They say that at least 60% of what is written is embodied in the current year! Let's check... and beat this record!

So that at work they do not find fault

On Old New Year's Eve, come to work before everyone else and read:

“Like the dead don’t bite their teeth, and their tongues don’t swear, They don’t throw themselves in anger, they don’t wave their hands at the living, They don’t knock their feet, they don’t shout at me, So that not one person forever and ever - Not the elder by rank, neither the younger one, nor the one who counts, nor the one who sweeps, nor the one who sits in a chair, - Let him not look strictly at my face, do not scold me. That's how I read it, how I said everything, So it should be, and my slander cannot be broken. Amen. Amen. Amen"

Bones from the festive table for the Old New Year are not thrown away from the table, in the morning they are buried in the ground under a tree with the words:

“As this tree grows and strengthens, so the health and material well-being of our entire family would grow and strengthen.”

“How can this tree grow stronger, grow,
So I bring good to the house!
A tree to live and live,
Me love and happiness meet!

When all the dishes are removed from the table, take the tablecloth, shake it three times and say:

“How many crumbs there were on this table, there would be so much happiness in our family.”

It is advisable to do this outdoors.

Usually on January 14, the Christmas tree is removed. In order not to bring trouble, you can not throw the Christmas tree from the balcony. You can either burn it or take it outside.

Saying goodbye to the tree, you can say the following words:

“Failure down, the Christmas tree to rest, well, and me to my home. Let it be so".

Ritual for a new round of development

Since the Old New Year is much older than our usual New Year, it carries a very powerful energy and strength. And given that it is tied to the old calendar, it is better to carry out all desires and rituals not to attract something new, but to correct what is already there, but stuck and not moving forward. Everything that has long-standing roots, everything that I would like to correct and give a new round of development and disclosure - this is exactly the area over which it will be very successful to conjure this night.

To start the ritual, wait for the time when it gets dark and the moon rises in the sky, or at least one star appears. Put on any silver item (chain, ring, pendant, earrings). Stand at the window, and, looking at the star, say the manifest words. If the day turned out to be cloudy, don't let that bother you. Send your imagination beyond the clouds, where the stars shine.

“Stagnant water flows,
Silver sparkles in the night
May my fate be bright
Time of life, go ahead!

Next, light the church candle in the eastern part of the room and look at its flame for a while. Do not extinguish the candle, let it burn out completely. In addition, it is auspicious to burn green and gold candles on the old New Year to resolve financial issues, and pink and red - for love.

For the rest of the evening, try to arrive in a good mood, in a light and good mood. After all, it is your condition, your faith in the strength and power of this night, that will give impetus to the development of stagnant situations.

On the night of January 13-14, do not forget to knock on the threshold with the butt of an ax and say: “Life, health, bread!”

All these three components listed by you will not leave you, at least during the whole year, i.e. you will be alive, well-fed, healthy.

Effective New Year's rituals are not uncommon, because the effectiveness by and large depends only on the magician. That is why experienced sorcerers use their own magical rites and conspiracies.

For beginners, time-tested rituals are better suited, which are easier to believe in power, thanks to numerous testimonies of their effectiveness.

Any ritual is just a code for moving to another level in the time spiral - the main thing is to believe in it, and the objects for it are not the main thing.

Popular belief says that the best time to predict your own future is Christmas time - holidays from the beginning of Christmas until Epiphany. However, there is one special night among them, which has a powerful mystical power - this is the night from January 13 to 14. The same Vasiliev evening, on which the Orthodox laid a rich table, meeting the old New Year. It is on this day that unmarried girls devote part of their leisure time to cheerful Christmas fortune-telling, which should help to lift the veil of secrets of the future. Will they get married, how many children will fate send, what name will the betrothed have?

The ancestors believed that this night removes all prohibitions and locks, because it itself protects the fortuneteller from unclean forces, helping to penetrate far beyond the boundaries of fate. To help us join the beautiful Slavic tradition, we have collected ten of the most interesting fortune telling that will help predict the future.

How to prepare for divination for the old New Year

If you decide to conduct a fortune-telling ceremony on the night of January 14, you need to not only prepare exciting questions, but also dress properly! Remove the pectoral cross, belts, rings and bracelets, your clothes should be simple, devoid of any decorative elements. Be sure to let your hair down and then get serious.

Top 10 Christmas Divination

1. Fortune telling "Answer for Cinderella"

You will need a pre-prepared jar of buckwheat, barley or lentils. This fortune-telling helps to hear a definite answer: will the wish come true or not? Why do you need to stand in front of the jar, think about your request and pull out a handful of cereal with your left hand. Count the number of grains: an even number means yes, an odd number means no.

2. Fortune telling "Thread of fate"

If you are wondering what fate has in store for the coming year, take your gold chain, hold it in your palms, saturating it with energy, and then abruptly throw it on the table. What figure did you get?
