For a long time, people have wanted to know what the future holds for them. Divination existed thousands of years ago: in Ancient Rome, Assyria, Ancient Greece, Ancient Russia, Babylon, Egypt. Even kings and queens resorted to the help of fortune-tellers, soothsayers and priests. Of course, modern people have become more rational, but still some of the customs associated with divination are still preserved.
Fortune telling on St. Basil's Day (on the night of January 13-14). According to the old calendar, this night was New Year's Eve. A favorite for all unmarried girls is fortune telling. To find out the letter with which the name of the future spouse will begin, you need to write all the letters of the alphabet on a piece of paper and cut it so that the letters are separate. You should mix them and put them under the pillow, and before going to bed imagine your betrothed. The next morning, without looking under the pillow, pull out the first letter that comes across. The groom's name will begin with her.
Divination for Valentine's Day
Saint Valentine is the patron saintlovers all over the world. Therefore, it is not surprising that on this day, girls and boys are guessing for love. On this night in a dream you can see your future wife or husband.

They say that truly mystical things happen on the night of December 12-13. On this night, young unmarried girls are guessing for the coming year - will they get married or have to wait. Guessing should certainly be one, so that no one bothers you. Pour wheat into a small bowl (if there is no wheat, you can use rice) and put a few rings there: simple, with a pebble, silver and gold. Mix everything thoroughly so that the rings are not visible. Close your eyes and put your hand in the bowl. Pull out the first ring that comes across. If the ring is simple - you will still be lonely, if with a pebble - you will be loved, if it is silver - meet your soul mate, if it is gold - you will get married.

Saying in a whisper “it will come true / will not come true”, pull out all the matches one by one. The answer to the question will be the last one.

It is considered a bad omen to give a mirror, a watch and bouquets of yellow flowers to your lover (lover) - this is to part.
