The most important time before Easter is Holy Week, the last week before Easter, during this week no magical rituals or fortune-telling can be performed, as in the old days, this is considered a great sin. And it is better to refrain from these rituals at this time. But on Easter itself, fortune telling using eggs and Easter cakes was very popular. The Church opposes various fortune-telling, but on Easter Day it considers it permissible to perform fortune-telling with the help of eggs and Easter cakes. Just like on Christmastide, you can tell fortunes on all days except the Great Holiday itself, i.e. During the period from Maundy Thursday to Easter, it is absolutely forbidden to guess on Sunday.

On a painted egg

The most common fortune telling at Easter is on colored eggs. You can tell fortunes in this way throughout the entire Easter week. It is advisable that this ritual be performed by unmarried girls. For the ritual you will need a ring, bread, salt and sugar. Before fortune telling, you need to place one object in each corner of the room. After this, stand in the center of the room and spin the colored egg on the floor:

1. The egg is heading towards the ring. If you have a lover, expect the development of love events up to a marriage proposal. A lonely girl will meet a young man and soon marry him.
2. Sugar promises you many gentlemen, but without marriage. The year will be measured and calm. There will be no quarrels with loved ones.
3. Bread is a secure life. The girl will have a man who will give expensive gifts, but this does not mean that he will marry her.
4. Salt - tears and unrequited love await you.

You can use colored eggs to tell fortunes not only about love, but also about income. The basket with blessed eggs is covered with a towel and placed on the table. The fortune tellers take turns approaching the basket and, without looking, take one egg. Future wealth is determined by color:

• red - profit, wealth;
• white - promotion and salary increase;
• green - the emergence of additional sources of profit;
• orange - job loss;
• blue - low income;
• yellow - many unexpected gifts.

On egg white

Protein fortune telling is similar to the ritual with a fresh egg, but there is a slight difference - you do not use the whole egg. Take half a glass of boiling water. Break 1 egg over a glass, separate the white and pour it into the water. The protein will begin to fold, forming different shapes. From them you can determine your future.

On sacred eggs

The girl takes an egg consecrated in the church, peels it and divides it into two equal parts with a knife. A soft-boiled egg indicates prolonged loneliness. If the yolk is close to the edge, there will be a wedding soon. The brighter it is, the better the future life together. Such divination should be carried out after returning from the Easter service.

Using Easter cake

For Easter, many housewives bake Easter cakes themselves. And this is not without reason, because baking can be used to judge the future fate and well-being of the entire family. If the cake turns out airy and rosy, with a well-baked middle, your life will be calm and prosperous. Failed baking is a bad sign. Family members may have various problems, including health problems.

On the Saturday before Easter, when the Easter cake dough is being kneaded, you can tell fortunes about the fate of all family members. This is a simple fortune telling that all housewives used. Before baking Easter cakes, make one for each family member. After you take the cakes out of the oven, look carefully at the shape of each and try to determine the future from it.

If the cake is neat, without any unevenness or cracks, the year will be successful for the person. Cracked baked goods indicate illness and trouble. A settled cake is bad news.

On a church candle

After the Easter service in the temple, buy a white candle. It needs to be lit and inserted into the cake. On the way home, keep an eye on the flames. If it is constantly smooth and bright, then the whole year will be filled with pleasant events. An extinguished candle promises trouble for you and your loved ones.

On the maps

Fortune telling with cards before Easter is prohibited. This is dangerous because cards can attract evil forces into your home. During Easter week you need to refrain from any such manipulations so as not to cause trouble and spoil your future. It is also forbidden to tell fortunes on coffee grounds or perform any witchcraft rituals.

Fortune telling at different times

Most of the rituals that our ancestors performed during Easter week are a thing of the past. There are many fortune telling and customs, and each of them has some truth. People believed that during the Easter holidays, with the help of simple manipulations, they could predict their future and protect their family from evil spirits. Faith in God helped them solve their everyday problems.

On the way to church for Easter

On the way to the festive service, collect 10 twigs, and before entering the temple, break them into pieces and say the following words: “I break twigs, I reject pride. Renounce before Christ's house if you can. You will return back and bow to the ground. You won’t say goodbye, you’ll get married.”

The night before Easter

In the evening before the Resurrection of Christ, you can tell fortunes using a church candle. It is consecrated in the temple, brought home, lit and watched over the flame:

1. A bright, restless fire means exciting events.
2. A dim, low flame means a year with few bright events, a sad year.
3. Calm fire - stability and prosperity.
4. A smoky candle flame means failure and loneliness.

On Maundy Thursday

On this day, they lit a candle in church and went home with it. With a burning candle, they walked around all the corners of the house and read a prayer. After the ceremony, they cleaned up. This custom helped protect the house and all family members from evil spirits. To ward off evil spirits, a bouquet of heather branches was hung on the front door. Thanks to this, a person with evil intent could not enter the house.

There are also many. And in the video there are signs and customs of this day:

On Good Friday

On this day Jesus was crucified, so magical rituals are not encouraged on Good Friday, but there are some. And there are also signs that need to be paid attention to:

• if a cup or plate breaks on Good Friday, this is a good sign and the year will be successful;
• a child weaned from his mother’s breast on this day will grow up strong and healthy;
• It is believed that clothes that are washed on Good Friday cannot be clean.

On the day of Christ's resurrection

Previously, unmarried girls on Easter morning went to the river and swam in cold water. This ritual was performed in order to get married successfully.

A silver item and a painted egg were placed in the washing container. It was believed that silver purifies water from negative energy, the evil eye and damage, and the egg gives health and beauty. On the day of Christ's resurrection, they washed themselves with holy water in order to attract the respect of people. Seven good deeds done on Easter helped a person feel happy for a whole year.

Fortune telling for different purposes

For the betrothed

This ritual is performed on Maundy Thursday. Before telling fortunes for her betrothed, the girl must take a swim. The towel with which she dried herself should be taken to the church and given to people asking for alms. After this, go to church and during the service say the spell: “Christ's resurrection! Help me find my single betrothed, so that he has money and pies. He will become a good and handsome husband!”

For love

Fortune telling for love is the most ancient. It was carried out by girls who were forbidden to show their feelings and enter into relationships with the guys they liked. The unknown worried future brides, so they performed this powerful ritual.

If you doubt that your beloved’s feelings are sincere, go to church and stay there throughout the Easter service. When it runs out, buy two candles and place them in front of the icon of the Virgin Mary. One candle is a woman, and the second is her lover. Light the candles and watch the flames:

1. The fire burns brightly, without crackling or soot. This means that your love is mutual.
2. Extinguished fire. If the candle symbolizing the chosen one goes out earlier, he loves you more. A flame that goes out immediately does not promise any love relationship.
3. Smoke and crackling are a sign indicating a third wheel - a rival or rival.
4. A dull coating may appear on the candles. This means that many obstacles will arise on the path of lovers.

For money

Throughout Lent, set aside some money every day. On Easter Day, go to church in the morning and give them to the poor. Before this, you need to read the money spell: “Lord, return everything that I give, multiplying it a thousandfold.” Find the icon of the Resurrection, kiss it and read a prayer glorifying Jesus.

To fulfill a wish

If you want to tell your fortune, break off a small piece from the blessed Easter cake. You cannot use a knife.

Wrap the piece in a clean scarf and go for a walk to some secluded place, where you can safely feed the birds. Crumble the cake and throw it to the pigeons or sparrows. If the birds quickly collect the crumbs, your wish will soon come true. Bread left on the ground indicates that you will not get the desired result. Your wish will not come true because insurmountable obstacles will arise along the way.

For marriage

On Easter Sunday, you need to take a small canvas bag filled with wheat grains to church. When you return home, scatter grain on your doorstep and ask God to send you suitors.

If a girl wants to get married, she must try 12 Easter cakes baked by different housewives.

To marry a hardworking man, you need to get to church for Easter service before it starts. Girls who like to sleep and don’t come to church early will get lazy husbands.

To find a rich groom, you need to go to church on the Resurrection of Christ and buy 24 candles. Put half for your health, and the rest for the health of the future groom. After this, read the prayer: “Lord, save and preserve the servant of God whom you have appointed as your husband. Amen".

Bad weather on Easter Sunday suggests that it is better to postpone a wedding planned for this year because it will be difficult. Sunny weather predicts a long and happy marriage.

When you come home from church, before going to bed, put on clean underwear, tie two branches from different trees with woolen thread, put them on a plate and light a candle brought from the temple. When the wax begins to drip, read the spell: “Two branches are entwined forever, interlocked - cannot be separated, for joy, for goodness, for offspring, for profit, for eternal life.”

Is it a sin to guess on Easter?

According to the priests, any fortune-telling is a great sin, because you want to find out about your destiny, but the Lord does not reveal this secret to people. Maybe you don't need to know what will happen in the future, so don't try to guess, but just live and go about your daily business.

The sacrament of fortune telling is a powerful mystical rite, for the results of which you are responsible. Even if you don’t believe in superstitions and omens, you still shouldn’t perform any mystical rituals on the great holiday of Easter. Your thoughts must remain pure, because evil intentions can negatively affect your future.

There are many myths associated with the topic of fortune telling and esoteric practices. Some of them are related to reality, while others are very far from it, and it’s no wonder to get confused about where the truth is and where it’s fiction. Now, during Lent in the Orthodox tradition, the topic of such myths has once again turned out to be relevant. And the main question here is: “Is it possible to guess during Lent?” In search of an answer, we decided to turn to our experts - who else if not them would know the answer to this question!

Fasting is a religious tradition whose main purpose is to cleanse the body and spirit. Whether to fast or not is a purely personal matter. If this helps you, great. I did not notice that my clients refrained from consultations during fasting. If something bothers you, it is always better to eliminate the cause of the irritation. In any case, always listen to yourself and remember that the purpose of fasting is cleansing. Don't pollute your body and soul!

People who fast adhere to a certain ideological system that they consider useful and effective. If one of the points in this system is a ban on fortune-telling, then many believers will not violate it - just like other prohibitions. A reasonable, mature person establishes for himself what is sin and what is not, in a very simple way - by listening to himself. So is it possible to guess in a post? You can guess on weekdays and on holidays, 24 hours a day. For those who consider it a “sin”, one should never guess, and certainly not during Lent. And there is no point in trying to convince anyone; let everyone decide for themselves what they can and cannot do.

During the period that traditionally coincides with fasting, practices aimed at cleansing the negative energy accumulated over the previous months are very favorable and effective. Energy renewal of the biofield can often help in overcoming obstacles in your personal life or in business. Therefore, you should not neglect this good time if you have any problems with the biofield, or if, instead of feeling a spring uplift, you feel at energy “zero”. If there is someone in your environment who does not have the warmest feelings towards you, then it is during the period of fasting that energy protection from extraneous influences works most effectively.

In addition, we should not forget that fasting time refers to those few periods of the year when each of us can correct the consequences of our own mistakes made in the previous months, and thereby change our destiny for the better. And if you feel that you may have made a mistake in a relationship or at work, it’s time to start correcting it!

Easter is the greatest Christian holiday, on which the soul of a believer is purified. It is shrouded in mystery and associated with many traditions. But for young girls, Easter is also a chance to clarify their destiny through fortune telling. Christianity does not accept magic, but fortune telling is not prohibited during the Easter period. Orthodoxy has many interesting interweavings with paganism. Therefore, very effective fortune telling can be performed during Easter week. As a rule, the main additional attributes in most rituals are Easter cakes and Easter eggs.

Fortune telling on the night before Easter

Usually on the night before Easter they tell fortunes using a church candle. In this case, predictions are formed by the flame of a candle. It is important to consecrate such an attribute beforehand. Having retired to a separate room on the night before Easter, you should light a candle and carefully observe how it burns. For such fortune telling, the correct preliminary attitude is very important. You should sit in silence for a while and think about your life.

The behavior of the candle may indicate the following:

A bright and restless light foreshadows exciting love events in the coming year. A weak and dim flame emphasizes that the year will be boring and dull, you should not expect any interesting events. An even and calm flame foreshadows a stable life period, the time comes when peace and tranquility will reign in the family. A smoky and crackling flame indicates that the time of loneliness is coming, and life will be filled with failures and adversity.

In addition, at Easter, young girls wonder who their future spouse will be. To do this, in the evening you need to go to a natural reservoir. You definitely need to let your hair down. This is due to the fact that hair has a special energy and can increase the effectiveness of the fortune-telling ritual.

It is necessary to find a comfortable place to sit, so that you can carefully peer into the surface of the water. If you do this for a long time, you can see the face of your betrothed, and subsequently recognize this person in real life.

But if there is no body of water nearby, or you are simply afraid to go to it alone in the evening, then you can try to see your betrothed in another way. To do this, on Easter Sunday evening, before going to bed, place a saucer next to your sleeping place and fill it with water.

Before going to bed, you need to say the following words:

“My betrothed-mummer, destined for me by God, come to me in a dream and we’ll eat Easter cake together.”

When you wake up in the morning, you immediately need to try to remember who you dreamed about. It is the man you saw in the dream who will soon meet you in life and become your spouse.

Easter fortune telling with church candles: prediction for the year

Easter fortune telling with two candles is very popular among young girls. It allows you to clarify how your relationship with your chosen one will develop in the coming period. For the ritual, candles should be purchased in advance from the church. These attributes must be consecrated.

Having secluded yourself in a separate room, you should completely distract yourself from outside thoughts, completely focusing on your loved one. You should make a guess which of the candles in the ritual will represent your loved one, and which one will represent you. After this, the candles are placed nearby on the table and set on fire.

When they flare up, you should carefully observe how the flame behaves and draw the appropriate conclusions:

If the candles burn with a bright flame, do not crackle, do not smoke - the couple’s feelings are mutual, the relationship will develop successfully, and there is a high probability that a wedding will soon follow. If one of the candles goes out faster, then this indicates that this partner feelings are stronger. If one of the candles goes out almost immediately, then it is not destiny to be with your chosen one. If the candle flames crackle and smoke, then there will be many obstacles along the way and in order to be together you will need to overcome a lot. In addition, such behavior of candles may indicate the presence of a rival. The raid that appears on the candle confirms deep feelings, but at the same time focuses on the fact that being together is unlikely to work out.

The following attributes are laid out in random order at the corners of a large table: a ring, a piece of bread, a salt shaker and a sugar bowl. A blindfolded girl spins a painted Easter egg so that it rolls across the table.

Interpretations of fortune telling are related to which direction the egg will roll:

To the ring - you should expect a wedding in the near future. To the bread - a hard-working and homely husband will soon appear in the house. To the sugar bowl - the upcoming life period will be filled with fun and joyful events, but you should not expect marriage. To the salt shaker - you should expect separation in the near future with a loved one, which will cause tears and disappointments.

Ritual for marriage on Easter cakes

Fortune telling on Easter cakes is allowed only if you bake them yourself. In this case, fortune-telling begins during the period of laying out the dough into forms. For each prepared Easter cake, you should guess the names of the guys who pay attention to you.

The interpretation is carried out according to the shape of the baked Easter cake:

If the cake did not rise and remained the same in volume, then this is a warning that you need to be careful with this person, most likely he is deceiving. If the top of the cry turns out to be crooked and ugly, then this indicates that this person is not at all the same person. with whom you will be happy. If the cake is beautiful, well-risen, with a fragrant golden-colored crust, then this means that the person is suitable for you and there is a high probability of successful development of the relationship.
