Fortune telling rules

There are many options for fortune telling in winter. Everyone chooses the best numbers and times independently. Women most often want to look into the future. Girls have long been interested in finding out what fate has in store for them.

When conducting fortune telling for the Christmas holidays and Epiphany, the fortuneteller must:

• Dissolve the hair. Long women's hair has long been considered a magnet for evil spirits. And if they are loose, the evil one will certainly turn his attention to the fortuneteller.
• Remove all amulets and jewelry: pectoral cross, earrings, rings and bracelets.
• Conduct fortune telling only in an empty house or room. The most successful place in the old days was the canopy.

To protect yourself from the action of evil spirits, you need to draw a circle around yourself with a candle or poker. If a group of girls is telling fortunes, everyone takes each other's little fingers.

The color of the candles plays an important role:

• When fortune telling for love, it is better to light red and white candles.
• For fate - blue and purple.
• Green and gold are used for success in business and finance.

For New Year and Old New Year

On New Year's Eve, fortune telling is most often carried out in company. They can be truthful and humorous. With simple steps you can find out what awaits everyone next year.



Based on the book

Everyone picks up any book they like. Before you begin the process, you should mentally ask a question. The main thing is to formulate it succinctly.

After this, the fortuneteller sets the page and line number (top or bottom). If a line appears with an incomplete sentence, you need to read it in its entirety. The dropped expression will be the answer to the question posed. You can guess on the same book no more than three times per evening.



By pillow

This fortune telling is usually carried out on the old New Year. Before going to bed, the fortuneteller must put the pillowcase on the pillow inside out. He himself puts on his pajamas inside out and lies down on the bed with his head where his legs usually point.

In the morning you need to see on which side the person woke up. If the right cheek is on the pillow, his wish will soon come true, if the left one, the time for fulfillment has not yet come.

For coffee

Coffee fortune-telling is carried out on the old New Year. DrinkIt is necessary to drink insoluble and without sugar. After he finishes drinking, the cup must be turned up and down three times on the saucer. After the third time, you need to wait a little while the remaining coffee flows down, forming shapes.

The fortuneteller needs to mentally ask a question and turn on the TV (radio). The first thing he hears will be the answer. This could be an excerpt from a song, a program, or a monologue by the presenter.

It is best to turn on those channels on which you can hear something positive.

Card reading

When picking up cards to use them to find out her future, the fortuneteller must remember:

• You can't lie in front of the cards. Cunning on the part of a woman will entail lying about the cards.
• You cannot use a deck that has previously been used in games and solitaire.
• Before fortune telling, you need to ask the cards a clearly formulated question without unnecessary information.
• During the process of divination, you need to keep it in your head all the time. If fortune telling is being carried out on a lover, it is advisable to imagine his image.
• Before divination, you should turn off all electronic items in the house or at least in the room: TV, radio, computer and phones.
• You need to tell fortunes by candlelight.
• You cannot cast a spell on church holidays.
• The process should begin after sunset, preferably after midnight.
• You cannot tell anyone about the results of fortune telling - otherwise it will turn out to be a joke.
• Women should cast a spell on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. For men - on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
• It is necessary to refrain from fortune telling on Sunday.

Find out whether the cards will tell the truth or lie today,can be done in two ways:

1. 1. Thoroughly shuffle the deck and lay it out in stacks in the form of a square - two stacks at the top and two at the bottom. The stacks do not have to be equal. After this, open the top cards from each pile and see: if horizontally, vertically or diagonally the cards match in rank, then the cards today will answer with the truth.
2. 2. Shuffle the cards and start laying them out three at a time in a column. Stop when the queen of diamonds appears (the fortuneteller's card if she is unmarried). Next to it there will be two cards, the meaning of which must be looked at. If they are talking about the events of the past week or month, then today the cards are set to tell the truth.

A young unmarried man wishes for the king of diamonds. Married - hearts. If a man is significantly older than the fortuneteller or occupies an important position, then he is the king of clubs. An unfamiliar guy is the king of spades.

You can find out about the near future and events of the past using simple gypsy fortune telling. To do this, you need to take the deck, shuffle it and move some part towards you with your left hand. The shifted cards are placed down.

Nine cards are laid out in three columns, the rest are set aside. The first 3 rows represent the past, the second - the present, the third - the future. This way you can tell fortunes not only to yourself, but also to others, without having any special skills.

Christmas and Yuletide fortune-telling

Although the church remains opposed to any fortune telling, the tradition of fortune telling from January 6 to 7 has been preserved to this day. Many people believe that fortune telling during the Christmas holidays is a harmless divination that is not considered a sin.

Christmas fortune-telling should be carried out only on the holiday itself and on its eve - on any other days they lose their relevance and do not bring any results. Fortune telling is also allowed during Christmas time, or the so-called fortune telling week - the period between Christmas and Epiphany.

In ancient times, various objects were used to carry out the fortune telling process. They, according to predictions, could protect the fortuneteller from the tricks of evil spirits. Such attributes were:

• needle;
• mirror;
• ring;
• thimble;
• crest;
• candles.

Previously, only church candles were traditionally used, but now it is allowed to use any others.

For a lover

With the help of cards, you can find out the true attitude of your lover towards the girl, as well as what he thinks and dreams about.

Fortune telling by name

On Christmas Eve, after sunset, an unmarried girl must go out alone and ask the name of the first man she meets. It is believed that this is what her betrothed will be called.

If the stranger does not give his name, the girl is destined to remain alone this year. If the first person you meet is a woman, the fortuneteller can live her whole life alone, without her other half.

For 4 jacks

You can find out who exactly will become your lover using four jacks. To do this, the fortuneteller must wish for a man for each. If there are less than 4 suitors, the remaining cards will remain mysterious strangers.

Algorithm:

1. 1. Jacks face down are laid out in random order in a horizontal line.
2. 2. The remaining cards are shuffled and placed alternately under each jack, 8 pieces each.
3. 3. Then the cards are revealed.
4. 4. Paired cards (that is, with the same value) are placed on the jack. This action is performed with each jack.
5. 5. Unpaired ones are shuffled and laid out again.
6. 6. This action is performed 3 times.
7. 7. Then you can watch the result.

If all 4 cards of the same rank fall under the jack, then their value is doubled.

Card interpretations:

For 4 kings

Before going to bed, the fortuneteller puts all four kings under the pillow and says: “Betrothed-mummer, dream about me.” The interpretation of the dream depends on which king the girl dreamed about:

• Bubnovy- a young man, rather sentimental, but behind him the fortuneteller will be like behind a stone wall.
• Hearts- the husband will carry the woman in his arms all his life, but will be extremely jealous.
• Peak- the future husband will turn out to be a doctor or military man. This is a middle-aged man.
• Clubs- the betrothed is much older than the fortuneteller.

"Well and Bridge"




You need to make a well yourself from matches or thin twigs. It should be placed next to you or under the bed. When going to bed, you need to say: “Betrothed-mummer, come and take me across the bridge.”

A man should appear in a dream and lead the sleeping woman by his arm across the bridge. If the devil appears instead, the girl will remain alone for a long time.

On the water and ridge

Fortune telling can be done in two ways:

1. 1. Take a glass of plain water and place it under or next to the bed. Before going to bed, you need to eat something salty, and then go to bed. You can't talk to anyone before this. As soon as the fortuneteller gets into bed, she must say: “Mummer, come and give me something to drink.” According to legends, the betrothed comes in a dream and gives the girl water to drink. If no one came in the dream, it is believed that it is too early for her to become a bride this year.
2. 2. In the second option, you need to take a comb. The main thing is that only the fortuneteller combs it. You need to put the object under the pillow and say: “Mummer, come, comb me,” and then go to bed. In a dream, a lover will come and comb the girl.

Using a mirror

One of the most dangerous and terrible fortune telling is considered to be divination using mirrors . You will need 2 red or white candles, as well as 2 mirrors of the same size. Only the fortuneteller should remain in the room. There should be no strangers or animals. The girl needs to take off all her jewelry and cross and let her hair down. First, turn off the lights in the room and only then light the candles.

Mirrors must be placed one opposite the other, with candles placed on both sides.

It is necessary to make sure that, looking in one mirror, the girl sees the reflection of another, that is, an illuminated mirrored corridor, and not herself.

The fortuneteller sits down on her knees in front of the mirror, says: “The betrothed, come to me,” and begins to peer into the mirrored corridor. This is where fortune telling begins. Sometimes it can take a long time before someone comes.

In addition to the betrothed one, you can see evil spirits or even a dead person in the mirror. Therefore, as soon as someone other than the betrothed begins to look through the mirror, the girl needs to quickly say: “Forget me! "and throw a thick cloth over the mirrors. If you don’t say the right words in time, a red mark may remain on the fortuneteller’s face for life.

To fate

You can find out about your destiny using threads or the king of diamonds.

On the king of diamonds

The card can answer any exciting question. To do this, before going to bed, you need to hold the card in your hands, ask it a question, and then put it under the pillow.

The answer will definitely come in a dream. It may not be direct, but expressed by some symbol, which subsequently should be interpreted.

Using threads

Yuletide fortune-telling is carried out as follows: five threads are attached to the girl’s back: white, black, red, green and blue. In what sequence they are attached, the fortuneteller should not know. Then she should remove one thread and see its meaning:

• White- in the next year the girl will marry her loved one.
• Black- It is worth paying attention to pressing problems.
• Red- you will be lucky enough to live your whole life with your loved one in complete idyll.
• Green- the future husband will be rich and of noble birth.
• Blue- before gaining respect from others and realizing her dreams, the fortuneteller will shed many tears and overcome many life trials.

Using Tarot cards

One of the simplest is the layout of one Tarot card. It can be used if the fortuneteller asks a question, the answer to which can only be “yes/no”, “good/bad”, “to be/not to be”. The major arcana should be removed from the deck and shuffled. Then take out one card and look at its value. Direct knowledge of the arcana is ignored in this case. Attention should only be paid to its upright or inverted position.

Arcana	The answer is straight forward	The answer is upside down
Jester	The question remains unanswered	Yes, but there are obstacles
Mage	Yes	No
Empress	Yes	No
Emperor	Yes	No
Priestess	There is no clear answer to the question	Yes
Hierophant	No to material issues, yes to spiritual ones	No answer, need to rephrase the question
Lovers	Yes, if we are talking about emotions	No
Chariot	Yes, if we are talking about travel, transport, moving	No
Justice	Yes	No
Hermit	Yes, if we are talking about training and education	No
Wheel of Fortune	Yes	Yes
Force	Yes	No
Hanged	No	Yes
Death	No	No
Moderation	Yes	Yes
Devil	Yes	Yes
Tower	No	No (except for real estate questions)
Star	Yes, but you'll have to wait	No
Moon	There is no exact answer, the person’s fate has not yet been decided or the question was asked incorrectly
Sun	Yes	Yes, but you have to overcome obstacles
Court	Yes	No
World	Yes, if we are talking about travel, education, career, new job. No - if it's about love	Opposite meanings

If the cards suddenly fall out of your hands, then fortune telling should be postponed until the next day.

For good luck with a candle

Whether the year will be successful will be determined by the candle flame. You need to be alone in a dark room. Windows and doors must be tightly closed. Only if these rules are followed will the candle be lit. By its flame one can predict the events of the next year:

• Bright- indicates damage to success and money.
• Calm, quiet- measured life without serious shocks.
• Dim- loss of luck for an indefinite period.
• It went out quickly- a series of serious problems and life trials.
• Candle won't light- to illness.

Epiphany fortune telling

Epiphany fortune-telling is held from January 19 to 20. You can also perform divination on the eve of Epiphany, on the night of January 18-19.

For a loved one

It is also allowed to cast a spell on a lover after Epiphany, January 21st. Further, such rituals will be considered a sin.

On towels

On the evening of January 18, the fortuneteller needs to hang a clean white towel outside and say: “Betrothed, come and dry yourself.” After that, go to bed without talking to anyone.

In the morning the girl looks at the condition of the thing. If the towel is slightly damp or even wet, it means she will become a bride this year.

On the mitten

The fortuneteller needs to take her mitten (not a glove) and, going out into the yard, throw it up with the words: “Should I be a bride this year? »

If the mitten falls with the thumb up, the girl will get married this year.

On felt boots

For fortune telling, you need a felt boot or boot from the girl’s left foot. The fortuneteller must go to the crossroads at midnight on January 19 and turn her back to her house (or the side from which she came). Then you need to say: “Betrothed-mummer, where can I wait for you? »You need to throw your shoes over your left shoulder. The toe of the felt boot will indicate the side from which to wait for the matchmakers.

If the boot pointed to a girl's house, she will be alone this year.

Per number of children

On January 18, the night before Epiphany, you need to pour clean water, preferably melted water, into a bucket. After this, the container should be placed on a flat surface and said: “How many children await me in the future? »

In the morning, when you wake up, you need to go outside and look at the frozen water. The number of depressions indicates the number of girls, and the tubercles indicate the number of boys. If the ice remains smooth, the fortuneteller may not have children.

Such fortune-telling should be carried out only in frosty weather.

To fate

Not only girls, but also guys can use these fortune tellings.

On a walnut

For this ritual you will need:

• basin with water;
• half a walnut shell.

Along the edges of the basin, pieces of paper are attached with the inscriptions: “Wedding”, “Children”, “Money”, “Luck”, “Health”. A church candle is placed in a nut shell. If you don’t have one, you can take a regular white candle. The shell is lowered into the center of the pelvis and the question is asked: “What awaits me this year? “Which piece of paper the shell floats to is what we should expect next year.

If a whole company has gathered for fortune telling, it can be carried out a little differently. Instead of predictions, the names of those gathered are written. The nut is also lowered into the center and any question is asked. For example: “Who will get married first? ", "Who will be prosperous this year? "

On paper

You can find out what the next year will bring with the help of paper. You should take a shallow plate, put a crumpled piece of paper on the bottom (do not use newspaper, because it burns quickly) and set it on fire.

By bringing the plate to the wall and turning off the light, you can see shadows replacing each other. They are used to make interpretations.

On wax

Pour clean water into a deep plate and light a candle. When it starts to melt, you should tilt it so that the wax drips into the water. In water it quickly hardens, forming different shapes. It is by these that one should judge the upcoming events:

Figure	Interpretation
Human	Pleasant meetings, new promising acquaintances
Child	Pleasant troubles, anxiety
Cross	Fuzzy contours are interpreted as a series of small events, clear ones - as a serious long-term illness
Star	Good luck in business and endeavors, quick fame
Animal	An ill-wisher appeared in the environment
Flower	Wedding during this year
Tree	Branches directed upwards promise success in business, downwards - failures
Circles	Stability, moderation
Geometric figures	Difficulties in life, new challenges
Damn, settled to the bottom	Long girlhood

For wealth

To find out about the financial component of the next year, you will need a live rooster and 4 saucers:

• you need to pour grain into the first one;
• pour water into the second;
• pour salt into the third;
• put a ring in the quadruple.

The saucers are placed on the table, and then the rooster is released. The fortuneteller asks the question: “What awaits me this year? "Then you need to look at which saucer the bird went to:

• With grain- a woman will be able to receive greater financial profit.
• With water- wealth is possible only if a girl makes considerable efforts.
• With salt- the year will be full of tears and financial losses.
• With ring- the girl will become the bride of a rich man.

The story of one of our readers Alina R.:

Money has always been my main problem. Because of this, I had a lot of complexes. I considered myself a failure, problems at work and in my personal life haunted me. However, I decided that I still needed personal help. Sometimes it seems that the problem is in you, all failures are just a consequence of bad energy, the evil eye or some other bad force.

But who can help in a difficult life situation, when it seems that your whole life is going downhill and passing you by? It’s hard to be happy working as a cashier for 26 thousand rubles, when you had to pay 11 thousand for renting an apartment. Imagine my surprise when my whole life suddenly changed overnight for the better. I couldn’t even imagine that it was possible to earn so much money that some trinket at first glance could have such an impact.

It all started when I ordered my personal...

It is believed that you can get reliable answers to your most intimate questions on Christmas Eve. On the night of January 6-7, it is recommended not only to guess, but to make wishes. According to an old belief, everything you dream about at twelve o'clock at night must definitely come true within a year.

Christmas fortune telling did not arise by chance. Even in pagan times, it was believed that it was on the night before Christmas that dark forces prevailed over light spirits. The mystical night was used for the most complex and important rituals. People asked for help in healing, “ordered” a harvest, or tried to find out their fate.

It is believed that Monday, Wednesday and Friday are suitable for women for daily fortune telling, and men are recommended to perform rituals on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Yuletide fortune telling

Christmas time is a special time for fortune telling. It was believed that during the period from January 7 to January 19, dark forces continued to travel throughout the human world and one could turn to them for help. There are a huge number of Christmas fortune telling. Among them there are humorous, serious and even dangerous rituals.

You can tell fortunes on Christmastide not only at night. The conditions for performing rituals imply the rules of fortune-telling themselves. For example, you could summon spirits and contact them at night, and you could determine your destiny early in the morning. There were also fortune tellings that involved several stages of action that had to be performed over several days.

New Year's fortune telling

New Year's Eve is not only the beginning of a new year, but also the most favorable time for fortune telling. With the onset of darkness, you can make predictions, think about your innermost dreams and make your most cherished wishes.

On the night of January 13-14, there is a second chance to find out the fate of those who did not do so on New Year's Eve. The Old New Year will also help to implement exciting rituals.

December 13 (St. Andrew's Day) - girls can recognize their betrothed. If on this day and during Christmas fortune-telling the images coincide, then this particular person will become the legal spouse in the near future.

New Year's fortune-telling is traditionally divided into two categories - comic and more serious. Fun rituals were perceived with less responsibility, were carried out by large companies and were primarily of an entertaining nature.
Serious fortune telling, which involves contact with dark forces or souls, was carried out in complete silence. Such rituals were carried out alone, so that nothing would interfere with mystical communication.

Special dates for fortune telling

In addition to ancient traditional fortune telling, there are rituals that can be performed throughout the year, but only under certain circumstances. For example, if you want to find out your financial situation in the near future, then rituals should only be performed.

The 2nd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 10th, 12th and 13th days of the lunar month are also considered good times for predictions. Fortune telling on Saturdays and Fridays is highly discouraged. The only exception is the Christmastide period.

Predicting the future is a fascinating process. You can do it yourself or contact a specialist. But there are days when guessing is not recommended; at these moments, any methods will not answer the truth, so you need to understand exactly at what time you can turn to what will happen.

There are no specific calendars for different types of fortune telling; what is important is not the tool that is available for prediction. Fortune telling using Tarot, runes, ordinary cards, pebbles or wax is carried out on days when there are no major holidays. Predictions are also associated with lunar days.

When you can't guess

Sunday and Saturday are days that are considered sacred in many religions. At this time, it is better not to seek advice from magicians and psychics. Of course, there is no strict prohibition; some people perform rituals on weekends, but it’s better not to do that.

Any religious holidays also prohibit touching ritual objects. Each faith has its own traditions, so it is impossible to list all the important days, but you can check your calendar. In Orthodoxy they do not tell fortunes on Christmas, during Trinity, on Easter and on many other days.

Many fortune tellers recommend choosing one day a week when not to talk about the future. This is a day off that helps maintain connection with higher powers. If you decide to guess yourself, choose this day yourself. Recommended Monday, Wednesday or Sunday. If you have made a decision, never touch fortune telling tools on this day to avoid being deceived.

It is not recommended to experiment with the future during critical days. At this time, you shouldn’t take cards or anything else yourself, and you also don’t need to contact someone. During this period, it is possible to receive false information.

When is the best time to guess?

According to ancient Slavic customs, it is best to tell fortunes during Christmas time. This is the period from Christmas to Epiphany, when you can find out all the details of the future. It is believed that at this time it is possible to view events for a very long period. There are a huge number of types of fortune telling that are used on these frosty days.

The night of Ivan Kupala is the evening of July 7th. On this holiday, many begin to guess. There is a legend that you can even find a blooming fern and find harmony and happiness. This evening, predictions related to the elements will be very effective. You can experiment with water, earth, fire and air.

- 5th lunar day, they tell fortunes on mirrors, ask about the wedding and feelings;
- 6th lunar day, you can guess about any things, everything will be true;

From ancient times, during Christmastide until Epiphany, girls gathered for fortune telling. The usual gatherings for winter evenings with handicrafts were changed to predicting the future, fortune telling about love, about the betrothed and his signs.

Fortune telling concealed the mysterious presence of dark forces that accompanied the process. Therefore, fortune telling was usually done late in the evening by candlelight. Animals, as a rule, were removed from the hut, since cats and dogs drove away unclean spirits, and he was supposed to help fortune tellers find out their fate.

One of the most terrible fortune telling was to go to the bathhouse at night, light 2 candles, strip naked, place 2 mirrors opposite each other, forming a mirror corridor, and call your betrothed.

The best time for predictions on cards

Already several centuries ago, with the help of rites and rituals, our ancestors tried to find out what the harvest would be like and what to expect in the coming year. Caring mothers and grandmothers, concerned about the fate of the younger women in the family, tried to look into the future and see when their betrothed would come to the house. Over time, regular practices made it possible to identify the most successful days for searching for answers.



Predictions using Tarot or using a playing deck are the most flexible methods. Such fortune telling does not imply readings on certain days. The fortuneteller may encounter a situation where the cards do not want to speak, but this does not depend on the day of the week or lunar day.

An experienced fortuneteller will never make a spread if, when he picks up the deck, he intuitively feels discomfort. Another way for cards to communicate to the fortuneteller that they do not want to talk is that the deck begins to crumble and involuntarily fall out. In this case, the search for an answer is postponed for several days.

Depending on their religious affiliation, some fortune tellers avoid readings on days that are significant to their church. But from the point of view of religion, fortune telling is initially considered a sinful process. An inexperienced practitioner begins to become familiar with favorable days intuitively.

A novice fortuneteller should use strong dates in the first stages. For example, the night of Friday the 13th. During practice, the fortuneteller can note his feelings and, keeping a diary of predictions, track their reliability.

You can start guessing not only on Friday the 13th. It is worth paying attention to the days of power. Predictions will be successful on Sunday, Monday and Friday. They are associated with the planets responsible for intuition: Venus and the Moon. Therefore, the interpretations will be perceived much easier, and less time will be needed to set up.



Lucky days according to the lunar calendar

Favorable days for fortune telling are divided according to the planets that dominate them. Some days will help you get the right answers to questions about your career, others will help you find out the reasons for bad luck in love. However, this does not apply to traditional Christmas, Maslenitsa and New Year's predictions.

Those who begin to master the art of tarot must clearly understand that there are favorable and unfavorable days for fortune telling. On unfavorable days, there is a high risk of harming yourself or the fortuneteller, because the results will be distorted.

Tarot reading should be done on auspicious days

Periods when you can or cannot tell fortunes using tarot cards. At what age is fortune telling allowed?

The question of when you can’t tell fortunes with tarot occupies the minds of those who began their communication with cards quite recently. And in order to avoid controversial or dangerous situations, it is necessary to study several periods when guessing is prohibited.

Some layouts should occur only on certain days of the lunar calendar, so their implementation should be clarified in the interpreter. Many beginners are interested in the question of whether it is possible to tell fortunes on a full moon, and the answer is given extremely clear. You can tell fortunes on the full moon; this day is most suitable for magic. The only contraindication is the presence of an unfavorable time, which falls together with the full moon.

Inspiration has arrived and the fortuneteller feels a favorable period for fortune telling - an alignment is necessary. At this moment there are no prohibitions.

There is such a type of fortune telling as festive. These days, tarot reading with a certain layout is recommended. But such fortune telling is harmful on an ordinary day, and in some interpreters it is strictly prohibited. Such fortune-telling includes the periods of Christmas and Christmastide.

The full moon is favorable for fortune telling

On which days is fortune telling allowed?

Not a single calendar or tarot reader will give an unambiguous answer to the question about the appropriate day of fortune telling for the fortuneteller. But there are days when fortune telling is possible and the meaning will not be distorted. Our ancestors also determined the most favorable time of the year, which was called Epiphany fortune-telling. During the period of Christmas fortune-telling, you can perform all kinds of layouts without the risk of receiving unreliable information.

According to the lunar calendar, the most favorable day for fortune telling is:

• New moon
• Calendar start of the year.

It is on these days that the fortuneteller receives the most complete interpretation of the alignment and the most truthful information regarding his problem.

But the best day of the year for tarot is Midsummer Day. On this day in the old days, they predicted the future based on various objects and events, and some also used tarot cards. The fortuneteller will receive the most accurate prediction for the whole year.

But the presence of certain favorable days of the year when fortune telling is allowed does not exclude the possibility of using cards at the moment when they are really needed. If a fortuneteller needs advice, then you can get it. The reliability can be judged by the absence of prohibitions on performing layouts.

At what age to start fortune telling and when is tarot safe?

Those who pick up cards for the first time wonder whether it is dangerous to tell fortunes with tarot cards and how to protect themselves. All interpreters have a clear rule that cannot be broken: fortune-telling is prohibited for children under 13 years of age. Children should not pick up cards or go to tarot readers for readings.

All these rules are related to the fact that the fate of adolescents is a blank page in the book of life, which he fills out independently, without the participation of cards. It is difficult to predict the fate of young people, but even more difficult if the fortuneteller is young.

But if such moments arise in a person’s life when it is impossible to move on without wise advice, then age fades into the background. And the main danger for a fortuneteller at a young age lies only in the uncontrolled craving for obtaining secret knowledge.

Such behavior will confuse the fate of the young man and considering it in the future will not be an easy task. That is why in each case, fortune telling should occur after a detailed analysis of the problem.

Why can't you guess?

Many people firmly believe that fortune telling is a forbidden ritual from which nothing good should be expected. Most often, people who are deeply religious are confident in this. In the Christian religion, everything related to magical rituals is performed against the will of the Lord, and a churchgoer should not succumb to these weaknesses.

But for other people, this issue is a bone of contention, that is, it seems controversial. Sin is an act that represents an event alien to the morals of society (theft or murder). But fortune telling itself is not such an event and does not carry such a negative note in its meaning. That is why it is a sin, but a sin to a lesser extent. And churchgoers consider fortune telling a sin on an equal footing with adultery or theft, and argue that entire generations of fortune tellers must pay for this sin.

Tarot readings should be done infrequently and with caution

At its core, fortune telling is harmful only when abused, like medications. If you guess every day or do it uncontrollably, then you will not know the truth. If abused, the fortuneteller risks miscalculating his fate and losing the chance to improve his life. His life will go according to an unplanned plan and the situation cannot be improved.

Cards can cause harm to those individuals who have a hard time accepting negative predictions. Health problems will play a cruel joke and only this will reveal the negative properties of tarot cards.

On what days should you not pick up cards?

There are many days on which you cannot guess, because the prediction will be inaccurate and you can harm yourself, or the ban is imposed for other reasons.

Representatives of the Orthodox Church have a negative attitude towards all manifestations of magic and appeals to otherworldly forces, therefore fortune telling during church holidays is strictly prohibited. But as an exception, festive Christmas fortune-telling is added to the permitted days, because this tradition has been going on since ancient times and has survived more than one generation of church ministers.

The most important day on which you absolutely cannot pick up cards is Sunday. The custom of not turning to magical help came to us from ancient times. In church legends this day is described as non-working and dedicated to God. All believers spend this day in repentance and prayers to the Almighty. For those who do not consider themselves believers, fortune telling on this day is allowed.

Women during menstruation should not do a spread. During this period, a woman is most vulnerable in her energy protection and can harm herself and close relatives.

But this does not mean that there are no fortune telling that are performed during this period.

You cannot resort to fortune telling at a time when the fortuneteller arrives in a bad mood. Fortune telling in a bad mood will negatively affect the fate of the fortuneteller and distort the meaning beyond recognition. The mood when working with cards is better neutral, then the fortuneteller will receive a true prediction.

We are sure that there are special days for fortune telling. It is then that you can get the most accurate information about the future. Fortune telling is a way of obtaining information from the other world. And for the prediction to be true, it is necessary to guess on specific days and hours when the connection with the world of the dead is strongest. So,

Days to guess
There is an opinion that the most truthful predictions can be obtained on certain lunar days. It is believed that the connection with the other world is strongest in 12, 14 and 18 lunar days.

And psychics and fortune tellers also highlight certain numbers in the calendar when you can get reliable information about the future:

2nd number– the day is good for all types of fortune telling and magical rituals;
– the day when you can find out your future;
10th– on this day you can get correct information about the events of the past;
20th- the day when Fate gives the greatest number of signs. Also on this day you can tell fortunes about love;
22nd- on this day it is good to guess from books;
27th– on this day events of both past and future life are easily revealed. On the 27th you can get all the answers to your questions;
28th– on this day you can trust your intuition. Most people open their third eye, which allows them to see the future most clearly.
In addition, there are days of the year when you can get a true prediction. These are considered holy days - from January 7 to January 19. T You can also guess from March 15 to 20, from June 23 to 28, from November 15 to 21. A holiday is considered a special day for fortune telling. It is on these days that a person becomes more receptive to receiving information from another world.

When can you start guessing by time?

Fortune telling is recommended to be done with 11 to 4 am. It is at this time that you can establish close contact with the other world and find out the answers to any questions.

You can also guess in the daytime - from 14 to 16 hours. But at this time, it is usually more difficult for a person to concentrate on the ritual, and he can easily lose touch with the other world.

Card fortune telling also needs to be distinguished separately from other methods of fortune telling. You can tell fortunes on cards at any time of the day, but on certain days. The most favorable days for fortune telling with cards are Monday and Friday. You should not lay out the deck on Saturday and Sunday - on these days of the week the cards lie.
