Predicting the future is not an easy, but exciting process that will help solve the most important and difficult problems in a personal or professional life. Fortune telling on a dark mirror refers to multi-stage magical rites for which you need to carefully prepare.

Mirror - a magical attribute that helps predict the future

Divination with the help of mirrors is performed at home or in a secluded place where no one will disturb the fortuneteller. How to guess with an unusual attribute and not incur trouble?

How to guess correctly?

Fortune telling with a mirror is only a small part of those actions that can answer any questions and solve all sorts of everyday difficulties. Divination by candlelight with a mirror should be carried out only when absolutely necessary, respecting the ancient forces. Why does a person need such experiments?

Magic is an opportunity, a weapon and a tool that, in skillful hands, can change the fate of any person. Both beginners and experienced magicians can use otherworldly forces for their own purposes without consequences. Energetically, people are subject to various external influences, so magic is also directed to protect their own life and space.

There are no official rules on how to guess in nature, but in the magical world there are many conditional recommendations and rules. It will take a lot of time to study such instructions, but such actions will protect the beginner from the consequences. By the mirror people know the future, appearance beloved and significant moments of those events that are yet to happen.

An important aspect of divination is the conditions that people created before divination. Extra ears and eyes will only hurt, and the forecast is unlikely to become true. Guessing without preparation is stupid and unreliable. It is necessary to start the forecast in good mood and without unnecessary worries. The restlessness of thoughts will affect the results of divination. What prediction methods are the most accurate and easiest to perform?

Help in personal life for a betrothed

Love is the only power, the only thing in the world that can be received only by giving first. It can't be bought or stolen. The fortuneteller is looking for protection, a soul mate, an outlet in a cruel world.

Fortune telling on a new mirror for a betrothed has gained considerable popularity, because thanks to simple actions a person is able to find out where and when he will meet his beloved. The second half does not meet twice and sincere love is very easy to miss, so a magical clue will not be superfluous.

A magical rite performed with a new mirror will help you find out where and when the fortuneteller will meet his betrothed

Mirrors are used in divination for Christmas time or large church holidays. Through display, a girl or woman can see the features of a loved one. Through the mirror, people find a way out of the most difficult situations and stagnation. Fortune telling on a mirror and candles is more detailed and complex, but it also requires time and effort.

If a woman urgently needs to make a choice between two chosen ones, fortune telling on empty mirrors will also come in handy. Fast, effective and not costly in terms of money, divination of the future in personal life is carried out under the strictest confidence. Neither relatives nor friends can tell about the committed actions.

There are several types of popular divination with a mirror:

• to meet with a betrothed man in the near future;
• guessing "who is my favorite";
• fortune-telling with a candle and a mirror on the image of a loved one;
• divination with mirrors at the crossroads.

The choice of a method for divining the future depends on the capabilities and goals of the fortuneteller. Before starting, a woman needs to decide on a question of interest and come to terms with any result. Negative and positive events teach a person, give him a chance to follow his own soul.

Foresight of a fateful meeting

The narrowed mummer is a mythical, too ephemeral creature. He already exists in the heart of the girl, but the fateful meeting has not yet occurred. Fortune telling on the future lover is impatient for young ladies and women more middle age. The question of love worries everyone, regardless of age and position in society. How to predict the conditions of a future meeting?

The mirror, as the main attribute, can serve for visions or perform a completely different function. With the help of a little thing that is in the house of every woman, the necessary information will become clear. You can no longer hide the future. The main thing is to use the mirror correctly.

For fortune-telling at the first meeting, you need to put a thing under the pillow and speak your own dream. The easiest way to see the future chosen one is to call on his image. During sleep, a person is not protected, and his body, mind, soul is susceptible to magical influences. It is at the moment of deep sleep that a girl can see her own lover.

With the help of a mirror, you can invoke a prophetic dream, where a girl can see the image of her betrothed

In order to find out the conditions of the meeting, you can resort to fortune-telling on the cards. Various layouts will be a hint. Go to a meeting or reschedule a visit, prepare or work on yourself. The cards will tell about all the difficulties, obstacles and chances that await the girl.

Fortune telling on 2 cards of the Tarot deck will tell you about the outcome of the entire meeting, about what you can find out, and what the potential partner is being cunning about. Only two cards will not let a young girl be disappointed in such a bright feeling as love.

It is also not worth getting carried away with foresight, because outside the room, where a deck of fortune-telling cards and mirrors lies on the table, a person decides his own destiny. And it depends only on his will how the meeting will go.

witchcraft and the mirror

If a girl intends to use mirrors, then she should make sure that all precautions have been observed. Rites and divination with a mirror are carried out exclusively at night (midnight) and without witnesses. Otherwise, relying on the results of fortune-telling will not work. Divination with mirrors is more than a hundred years old; in ancient times, girls locked themselves in bathhouses or in sheds and with the help of a mirror they found out what their future husband would look like.

The most primitive and simple rituals were performed with two candles and two mirrors. From the display surfaces it was necessary to make a corridor (the mirrors were directed opposite each other). The fire of the candle illuminated the “tunnel”, through which the image of the beloved should appear. Not all girls decided on such a ritual, because according to folk beliefs it is not known what will appear through the magical corridor.

If the room was completely dark, the mirrors were allowed to be illuminated with a small lamp, whose glow did not fall on the display surfaces. As soon as the preparatory work came to an end, the girl silently uttered the magic words:

"My betrothed, come, show yourself to me in the mirror."

Then the girl peered into the corridor and tried to distinguish the images that came to her.

It was not a good thing to be afraid of various pictures, because all this is part of a magical rite. The image of the beloved came to the mirror, located behind the fortuneteller. It was considered a bad sign when the image of a man comes into the mirror, which was located in front of the girl's face.

Night divination using mirrors

An important aspect of all fortune-telling is the reaction of the girl. People say that if you frighten off the image of a man, then it will take a very long time to wait for him to appear in the life of a girl. If the fortuneteller passed the test with honor and dignity, then the results of fortune-telling were always favorable and encouraging. The girl should have considered the features of her betrothed.

Every detail could serve as a clue in the future to where and when to look for love. From the color of the eyes, hair to clothes, gait or things that surrounded the guy in the vision. When the rite ended, the fortuneteller would sharply and very loudly shout out "Stay away from this place." Leading disappears after the conspiracy and only the image of a candle remains in the mirror.

Magicians and witches do not advise delaying the ceremony. If you do not have time to say the lapel spell, then you can let the spirit into the world of the living and not always good. Modern girls are not afraid to use the ritual for their own needs. Fortune-telling with mirrors has become easier, and the fortune-teller no longer needs to hide in the bathhouse or strip naked. A room in which no one will disturb the girl is an ideal place to perform the ceremony.

In cases where the image of the betrothed does not appear immediately, you should stop looking at one point and focus. Then his eyes abruptly shift to the mirror behind him. The face of the beloved must appear. It is dangerous to get involved in divination of this kind, which is why rituals were carried out only once a year at Christmas or before Easter.

Divination at meetings by candlelight

Divination with a candle and a mirror is carried out at your own peril and risk; a professional magician does not care about such predictions. For the ceremony you will need:

• mirror;
• a couple of candles;
• water in a glass (any transparent container);
• a pinch of salt.

For fortune-telling on personal life, you will also need a glass filled with water.

Before the ceremony, you need to stock up on wax candles or church candles brought from the temple. The number "13" or the same number of small crosses is drawn on the mirror from the back. A mirror is placed on a wooden table or board, and lighted candles are placed on the sides. Place a glass next to clean water and a sprinkle of salt.

Preparation for the ritual ends when the girl sits comfortably in front of the mirror and pronounces the words of the spell exactly 13 times:

“Mirror is a lake, fire is power, salt is tears, tell me what awaits me ahead.”

As soon as the magic words are spoken for the last time, salt must be eaten and washed down with water. The girl leans over the mirror and carefully examines what is displayed in it. Visions can appear in turn or create one whole picture. The whole ritual takes no more than a quarter of an hour, during which the girl can see everything that she needs.

After the ceremony, you should be silent and not utter a word. The fortuneteller goes to sleep, and the next morning, to the smallest detail, remember the dream. A prophetic dream will be a hint about what fate awaits the girl in her personal life.

Predicting the future with a mirror at the crossroads

Fortune telling at the crossroads of two roads is performed when full moon. At night, when the Moon illuminates the fortuneteller's path, the girl leaves the house so that no one knows about her intentions. When the heavenly body remains behind, the fortuneteller takes out a mirror and carefully peers into it. For such an occupation, the girl gets to the place where two roads converge.

Gathering her thoughts, the fortuneteller says “show me your betrothed”, and then again peers at the month displayed in the mirror. Vision may not come immediately, but foresight will take some time. It will not be the betrothed himself that will appear, but a part of his appearance or an important detail indicating specific person. After what she saw, the girl closes the mirror and returns home without talking to anyone along the way. Before going to bed, it is recommended to read "Our Father" and cross yourself three times.

Candle divination

A mirror is used as a separate attribute of divination or together with other things that help to see the future. Only a whole, not broken and not chipped mirror is chosen for the secret ritual. If a girl performs a ritual on an object that is too small, the visions will be illegible.

For fortune-telling, it is necessary to take only a whole mirror

It is best to choose a display surface that the young lady uses for makeup, in which all the details are visible. You can choose the most ordinary candles or stock them up in the church. The composition of candles has little effect on the results of divination. After the ceremony, you need to thank for the help higher power and if there is such an opportunity, confess in the church.

Fortune telling with a mirror is a popular and simple magical ritual, which requires only a strong desire and faith in otherworldly forces. Skeptics will not need such fortune-telling, but to conduct them for fun is to their own detriment.

Varieties of predicting the future in your personal life with the help of mirrors are frightening and bewitching. To interpret the meaning of fortune-telling will not be difficult and will become useful information for each.

What will the betrothed man be like when the fateful meeting takes place and who should not be trusted with his own heart? All these questions will be answered by a mirror and a magical ritual, which is best done in complete solitude.

The mirror is an exceptional magical attribute of sorcerers and fortune-tellers. It connects two worlds - the other world and the real one, being a kind of portal through which evil entities can penetrate into reality or, conversely, drag a person's soul into another dimension. Therefore, there is an old custom to cover all the mirrors in the house at the death of one of the relatives, so that they do not drag out the spirit of the deceased. A unmarried girls since ancient times, divination has been used on mirrors and candles, wanting to see the face of the betrothed. However, not every fortuneteller can do these rituals, because under the mask of the future spouse, the devil appears in the reflective surface.

Show all

When should you guess?

The timing of rituals with a mirror by candlelight has a very great importance. In order to see the face of the betrothed in all details, it is recommended to guess in this way according to the old tradition on Christmas Eve (from January 6 to January 7) or at midnight on the first holy night, but other days at Christmas time, which last from the 7th to January 19th.

The ideal phase of the moon is the full moon. It is believed that this is the best period in which otherworldly forces are most active and willingly make contact with those who want to know their fate, and predictions are truthful and accurate. But if the month is growing or waning, the accuracy of the image seen will not suffer from this, but the process of divination itself will be longer and more complicated.

It is not recommended to perform this ceremony in another period. At best, it will not bring any result, and at worst, it will harm the fortuneteller. The exception is the night of Ivan Kupala on July 7 (June 21, old style), when the girls divined in a special way, using mirrors and candles.

Rules for the ritual

It is necessary to carefully prepare for fortune-telling, for this a number of conditions must be observed:

1. 1. First you need to tune in to the process itself. The state of the fortuneteller should be calm, like a trance, without unnecessary emotions. Laughter, tears, loud conversations are prohibited. No need to think about extraneous things, this will make it difficult to perceive important information. A skeptical attitude towards the ritual also prevents the ceremony.
2. 2. Fortune telling should be carried out in a place specially designated for this. Previously, they used to tell fortunes in the so-called unclean places. These included a bathhouse, a basement, an attic, an uninhabited house, a crossroads, a cemetery and other unlit spaces where evil spirits live. IN modern times in a big city, it is quite difficult to comply with this condition, so you can use the bathroom or an ordinary room in the apartment, where you need to curtain all the windows with blackout curtains or blinds, remove icons, close the mirrors that are not used in divination with a cloth, and even better take them out. According to legend, if you guess in a living room, the evil spirits that appeared in the form of a betrothed can stay there and harm living people.
3. 3. Ideally, the girl should be alone in the room, but since the ritual with mirrors is complex and dangerous, she can invite her friends, as long as they strictly follow all the rules. Household appliances, TV, radio must be turned off so that extraneous sounds do not distract the fortuneteller.
4. 4. It is impossible to illuminate the room with the help of electric light or a lamp, the only source of light can be only candles, which are not only an obligatory attribute of this ceremony, but also create a mystical atmosphere.
5. 5. The girl's clothes should not have any knots and encircling objects - belts, frills. It is best to be naked or use a loose shirt without buttons or fasteners. Bracelets, rings, other jewelry, everything that hinders movement must be removed, as well as a pectoral cross, so as not to be under the protection of God during divination.
6. 6. Hair should be loose, because they are additional conductors of energy.
7. 7. It is impossible to fold arms and legs crosswise so as not to confuse fortune-telling.
8. 8. After the ritual, do not talk to anyone, do not do household chores. You should go to bed right away.
9. 9. After the ritual, for one day, you need to refrain from washing your hair and communicating with strangers.
10. 10. It is undesirable to retell the details of what you see in the mirror to strangers.



Required Attributes

To create a reflective effect in divination on the betrothed, mirrors and candles act as key magical objects. It is on the surface of the mirror that the appearance of the betrothed should be reflected, and also in the process of divination, you can see future events and other images that give various clues to the fortuneteller.

It acts as a kind of portal between the world of the living and the world of spirits. Through the reflection, dark entities or ghosts can enter reality. It remembers all the events that happened in its field of action and is able to broadcast them without distorting.

For the ceremony, it is recommended to use oval or round mirrors in a metal frame. In some ways it must be new, in others it is believed that the older the object, the more effective divination. If it is not possible to re-purchase a mirror, then it is advisable to take any suitable one and wipe the mirror surface with alcohol, this will rid it of alien energy. Many magicians and sorcerers prefer to watch pictures of the future in a black mirror. If you cannot buy one, you should make it yourself by filling the front surface with several layers of black glossy paint.



black mirror for magic

The mirror on which the girl will guess should be perfectly clean and even, without chips, stains and other flaws that could lead to incorrect image transmission. Before divination, you need to carefully wipe it with a soft cloth.

Because the this rite is held exclusively at midnight, candles will help to disperse the darkness and create the right atmosphere in the room. They must be in candlesticks. Their calm soft glow is a very strong magical element that gives energy and absorbs negativity. Thanks to candles, incorporeal evil spirits are able to materialize and acquire a dense visual shell.

In some versions of fortune-telling, an additional live guide is provided - a cat. But there is a possibility that the animal can jump onto the table at the most inopportune moment and drop or break magical attributes. In this case, fortune-telling will be thwarted, but in this way the pet will protect its mistress.



Ceremonies with candles and mirrors

The option of divination with candles and a mirror is perhaps one of the most dangerous and exciting, as it is associated with the challenge of evil spirits. But thanks to him, you can consider the appearance of the future spouse in the smallest detail. It is not recommended to perform such rituals for persons with a weak nervous system, cardiovascular diseases or overly impressionable girls with a rich imagination. During such fortune-telling, unpleasant situations also occurred that could end in a mild shock, a heart attack, or a mental disorder.

The methods of such divination are varied, although the principle is approximately the same everywhere. It is necessary to start fortune telling at midnight or shortly before it. But the betrothed, according to ancient beliefs, usually appears exactly at 12 o'clock at night.

It should be noted that in the image of the groom comes the devil or the devil himself. Therefore, you should be extremely careful and at the right time do not forget to pronounce the magic words - amulets: “Chur me! " or "Stay away from this (this) place! to drive it back into the mirror surface. Evil spirits in the form of a betrothed should immediately disappear. According to legend, if this is not done, the demon can materialize from the mirror and take the girl with him or hit her.

• after the fortuneteller has examined the betrothed in all details, you need to say the protective words three times, cross yourself and blow out the candles.

If the groom managed to approach the girl during this time, he will sit down next to her and put some item from his pocket on the table. It is not recommended to look directly at it. You need to suddenly shout: “Chur mine! ”, and then wait for his departure and only then pick up the left little thing as a keepsake. People believed that at the same time, this particular object should disappear from the future spouse.

With two candles and two mirrors

This method is one of the creepiest. To execute it you should:

• place a small mirror on the table in front of you;
• put the second, larger one behind you so that a long mirrored corridor forms;
• arrange lit candles on the sides;
• stare intently for some time at the end of the corridor, illuminated by flames, and say many times: “My betrothed, mummers, come to me for dinner”;

• strip naked;
• arrange the mirrors parallel to each other (one large, the other smaller) to form a mirror maze;
• put one lit candle near each;
• sit on a bench opposite the stove so that you are behind the wrong side of the second smaller mirror;
• exactly at midnight ask all the elements to show the future husband;
• look at the reflection without looking away;
• the betrothed will not appear immediately, but after some time, and before his appearance he will frighten the fortuneteller with all evil spirits;
• when the groom finally appears, you should ward him off;
• then wrap the mirrors in a clean white cloth;
• hide them in a secret place where no one will find them, since they can no longer be used;
• wash your hands and face with spring or holy water;
• dry off with a towel;
• put on clean clothes;
• go home without talking to anyone on the way;
• When you arrive, go to bed immediately.

There is also a way with two identical large mirrors and one candle that is placed between them. The principle of divination is the same as in the previous methods. The fortuneteller should look into the mirror tunnel, from where the silhouette of the future spouse will appear. After that, you need to pronounce the words-amulets, and close the mirrors themselves with light matter until the morning.

with three mirrors

This method will require three mirrors of the same size and two tall candles. Necessary:

• put two mirrors opposite each other on your side;
• before each set a lit candle;
• install a third mirror at the back;

With three candles

• prepare a crystal glass or wine glass (you can also use glass without edges);
• pour water or white wine into it;
• put it on the table;
• install a mirror behind it;
• arrange and light three candles around the glass;
• look long time in the reflection through the glass;
• after that, various faces, silhouettes and other images will begin to appear in the mirror, by which one can judge the future chosen one.

At the crossroads

• stand at the intersection of roads so that the month is behind the fortuneteller;
• look in a small mirror at his reflection;
• say a conspiracy: " Betrothed, mummers, show yourself in the mirror";

• cross yourself and silently go home.

Fortune telling on the night of Ivan Kupala

This ritual can be performed not at midnight, but late in the evening, unlike Christmas fortune-telling. And also it is not necessary to be alone, you can invite girlfriends. For carrying out you will need:

Less dangerous rites

Rites with mirrors and candles are very complex and very dangerous. If a girl is afraid to tell fortunes in this way, she can resort to simpler and safer fortune-telling options.

• get a mirror;
• write on it the name of the beloved;
• put a mirror under the bed;
• spread sprigs of spruce around it;
• at night, a prophetic dream about a lover should be dreamed.

Also, if the inscription disappears in the morning, then the girl will be happy with the hidden man. In the case when the inscription is preserved, the relationship will remain at the same level. If a cross appears on the mirror, then this is a bad sign for the hidden person.

The mirror used in this divination should not be used later in everyday life. It must be removed away from prying eyes so that it never falls into the hands of an outsider. In other magical rites, this attribute is allowed to be used.

Another simple divination before going to bed for the betrothed. You should hide a mirror and a comb under the pillow and say: “Come, come. Brush it, brush it. Look at me, show yourself."

And in this method of divination for the future spouse, only candles are used. You need to spend it at night at Christmas time. Necessary:

• put three candles in a row so that they merge into one;
• light them up;
• while reading a magical plot, gradually move the candles one after another so that all three become visible at once;
• say: “Flame of candles, show me the betrothed! Show me his image! Let me see your fate at least in a dream ";
• wait for the candles to burn out completely;
• go to sleep in order to see the betrothed in a dream.



How to avoid consequences?

It is important to add that during the rituals something can go wrong. To prevent bad consequences, you should follow these rules:

• If during divination the mirror cracked or broke, it is necessary to collect all the fragments, even the smallest ones, in a basin of clean water, without touching them with bare hands. Then cover it with a black cloth, and throw it away in the morning.
• Fortune-telling time is given exactly as long as the candles are burning.
• If during divination the girl was very frightened and lost the power of speech, then instead of shunning, you should throw the mirror on the floor. But it might break. In ancient times, it was believed that at this moment the future husband had cuts on his face. You can simply turn the mirror upside down with a reflective surface or cover it with a piece of cloth.
• Extinguished candles are a bad signal. Divination must be interrupted in order to protect yourself from possible troubles. Read "Our Father" three times and cross yourself.

If the girl did not have time to examine the face of her betrothed in sufficient detail, but suddenly felt danger and fear, she should immediately stop the ritual, pray and sign herself with a cross.

Fortune telling on a betrothed with a mirror is known to many under the stigma of "terrible and dangerous" fortune telling. But do people deserve to be afraid of him? Or, if you are reasonable and careful, perhaps you will be able to bypass all the dangers? About all this in more detail.

About the magic of mirrors

Mirrors are any polished smooth surfaces that reflect light and images, as well as the expanse of water. Since ancient times, people have used them in magical rituals; but they were always afraid that it might steal their soul. Currently, they are used for development and for obtaining information about past lives.

The use of mirrors and crystal balls in magic is called Scrying. This includes any form of magical activity associated with looking at images in reflections.

There has always been an aura of mysticism and mystery around mirrors. In the West, mirror magic was especially popular in the mid-19th century. They were actively used by people of different walks of life, as well as magicians, witches and sorcerers.

The famous astrologer and magician John Dee used a black mirror made of polished obsidian to predict the future.

It was rumored that Catherine de Medici often consulted a magic mirror, which allowed her to see her future and the future of France.

At present, divination mirrors are more commonly used in the East than in the West. In some parts of India, the preparation for the ritual includes fasting, prayer, and fumigation. Tibetan lamas trust divination through reflection, and actively use this method when making important decisions.

One of the methods of divination using a mirror is the interpretation of images. It was hung in front of a low table, and a pot of boiling water was placed on the table. Steam rose and the mirror fogged up, and after a while the drops began to flow down, forming bizarre patterns, which were then deciphered.

Preparing for divination

For divination, it is better to use round or oval mirrors, preferably in a metal frame. Also, an old mirror works more efficiently than a new one.

Most seers prefer to tell fortunes on a black mirror. If you can't get one, you can make it yourself by filling the glass surface with several layers of black glossy paint.

The most popular time for divination is at midnight on the first holy night. But you can tell fortunes in the next 14 days after Christmas. Why is that? Because January is a magical and joyful time, full of hopes and expectations. This is the border zone between old and new, winter and spring. It is said that otherworldly forces and spirits are most accessible for contact at this time. Girls and women actively use these energies in the hope of knowing their future.

It is worth carefully preparing for, remove all jewelry, loosen your hair and, preferably, take off all your clothes. You can wrap yourself in a towel - the main thing is that there are no rubber bands, because they slow down the movement of energies in our body. Carefully prepare the room - there should not be any light sources in it, except for the flame of a candle.

Fortune telling on the betrothed with a mirror

After all the preparations, you can proceed directly to the ritual. Below are the two most popular divination methods with a mirror:

• You will need candle and mirror. Shortly before midnight, cover the table with a clean cloth and place a mirror and a candle opposite it on it. Sit in front of him, tune in, and start staring at your reflection. If possible, try not to blink. Exactly at midnight, you should see the image of a person over your shoulder. It is assumed that this person is your future husband.
• You can conduct even more effective fortune-telling, which can be done both alone and with friends. Everything should take place in complete silence, so it is better for the faint of heart and emotional people not to participate. Place two mirrors opposite each other with the reflective side, thus creating a gallery of reflections. Carefully look deep into the reflection and after a while you will see the image of a man there.

Important! Immediately after you see the images in the mirror, even if you did not have time to remember it, stop fortune telling. If you delay, it can have very bad consequences. Actually, this is why this fortune-telling is considered so dangerous - spirits from mirrors can easily penetrate our world, and it will be very troublesome to drive them back.

For a long time in Rus', people have been guessing at Christmas time. It is curious that this did not go unnoticed even among artists, writers and musicians. were described in great detail by such Russian writers as Ostrovsky, Tolstoy, Bulgakov, Pushkin, and, of course, Gogol. Here is an excerpt from Zhukovsky's ballad "Svetlana", which speaks of Christmas divination with a mirror for the betrothed:

Here in the room the table is covered with a white shroud;
And on that table stands a Mirror with a candle;
Two appliances on the table. “Guess, Svetlana;
In a clear mirror glass At midnight, without deceit
You will know your lot:
Your dear will knock at the door With a light hand;
The lock will fall from the door;
He will sit down at his device To have supper with you.

Zhukovsky V.A. "Svetlana"

Indeed, fortune-telling with a mirror for a betrothed is deservedly considered scary and frightening. Therefore, it is worth resorting to it only when you are completely confident in your actions. And, of course, follow all safety measures - this will help to minimize the risk as much as possible.

In contact with

Since ancient times, mirrors have been considered a magical object that opens the entrance to the other world. Surely, you are familiar with the signs associated with this piece of furniture, which is in every home. So, for example, it is customary to close the reflective surfaces in the house where a family member died so that his soul does not get lost in the mirror corridor. Breaking a mirror is considered a bad omen, and even more serious trouble can be called on yourself by looking into its fragments. But, nevertheless, since ancient times, fortune-telling on a mirror for a betrothed has been very popular. And today we will tell you about several ways to carry it out.

Why do they guess on mirrors?

As we have already said, mirrors have always been considered a magical object. They connect our reality with the other world. There is a belief that spirits and entities from the astral world can pass through a reflective surface into our world. That is why these items must be handled with the utmost care. People with extrasensory perception are able to read past and future events from mirrors, and black magicians and sorcerers often use them in their magical rites, for example, when casting spells or inducing damage. In most divination, in addition to the mirror, candles are used - they are also considered a magical element belonging to the element of fire. The flame of a candle absorbs negative energy, and also "illuminates" entities and spirits, thereby giving them a visible form.

In ancient times, for divination on a mirror and candles, girls went to deserted, dark places, for example, closed in a bathhouse or a shed. Today it is not at all necessary to look for abandoned or detached buildings, because you can tell fortunes inside your own apartment when no one is at home, or simply by locking yourself in the bathroom. But be that as it may, “mirror” fortune-telling is considered a rather dangerous ritual in which a person comes into contact with the other world, looks into it, so you need to have enough fearlessness to decide in this way to find out your future.

Traditional old divination for the betrothed "Mirror Corridor"

This predictive rite is considered the most terrible and mystical. Even in ancient times, not every girl dared to carry out such a fortune-telling, and those who found the courage in themselves sometimes asked their girlfriends to stand nearby, for example, near a bathhouse or a barn, so that if something goes wrong, call them for help.

Divination itself on the mirror for the betrothed is carried out as follows. The fortune teller should be alone. She needs to prepare two mirrors and two candles. When midnight comes, she needs to turn off the lights in the entire apartment, put one mirror opposite the other, light two candles on both sides of them so that the reflection turns into a mirrored corridor. If you have a large mirror hanging on the wall, you can put candles near it and just walk up to it, holding a small one in your hands - you will get a large corridor lit by lights.

After the mirror passage is created, the girl should focus on its end, mentally or aloud call her betrothed three times, for example, “Betrothed-mummer, come and show yourself to me!” or “Betrothed-mummered, look at me for dinner!”, And then silently and without moving to contemplate the mirror space until the reflective surface begins to blur, become cloudy. After some time (it can take either five minutes or half an hour), the fortuneteller will see in the mirror the face or silhouette of her betrothed. As soon as she quickly examines it, you need to cross yourself, say the phrase “stay away from me” or “stay away from this place” three times, then quickly extinguish the candles and turn on the light. It is believed that the devil himself actually comes along the mirror corridor, having taken the image of the future groom, so you should not look at the image that appears for too long. And sometimes you can generally see some strange or scary pictures, so such fortune-telling is contraindicated for impressionable people.

This fortune-telling is carried out on the mirror for the betrothed at Christmas or Christmas time. It is, of course, less scary than the previous one, but also not for the faint of heart. On the night before Christmas or at any midnight of Christmas time, the girl should sit down at the table all alone, putting a mirror and a candle in front of her, then peer into the reflective surface and invite her future lover to have dinner with the phrase “Betrothed-mummer, come to dinner with me!”. Next, you just need to stare at the mirror, without being distracted by anything. After some time (after five or more minutes), she will see the face of the man who should become her husband. After that, as in the previous fortune-telling, it is necessary to cross yourself and say three times “keep away from this place!”.

However, if you do not feel fear of the other world, you can wait a bit and see what happens next. They say that the devil in the form of a lover can show some thing of the betrothed to brave girls, for example, a ring, a handkerchief or a pocket knife. He will stretch it out of the mirror and put it on the table in front of the fortuneteller. If you cross yourself and say a “chasing” phrase after that, the devil will disappear, and the thing will remain in our world. It is believed that at this moment the man destined for the girl by fate really loses this object, and when they meet, he will certainly recognize it.

Crossroads have long been considered a mystical place. Standing at a crossroads, one could read conspiracies, perform magical rituals, and even summon the most unclean. At the crossroads you can see your future lover. To do this, you need: on a clear night, when the moon or the month is clearly visible in the sky, come to the crossroads of four roads with a small mirror in your pocket. Standing up so that the crescent of the moon is behind you, you need to get a mirror, look into it and say the phrase “My betrothed, show me in the mirror!” three times. They say that after a few minutes you can see the face of the future spouse.

The most suitable time for this prediction is Holy Week. One day you need to go to the forest and collect spruce branches. Before you go to bed, take out a small pocket mirror and write on it the name of the man you like or a question such as "Will I get married this year?". This is how fortune-telling on a mirror for a betrothed looks like: put a mirror with an inscription under a pillow or under a bed, and spread fir branches around the sleeping bed and calmly go to sleep. Waking up in the morning, take out the mirror and look at it: if the inscription has disappeared, the answer to your question is “yes”, if it remains, “no”. If you just wrote the name of the man, then the erased inscription will say that he is your future spouse, but if the letters remain - alas, this is not your chosen one.

You will need a candle, a mirror and regular salt. In the dead of night, put out the light, sit down at the table, put a mirror, and in front of it - a flat plate. Sprinkle a handful of salt on a plate. Then light a candle, take it and start dripping melting wax onto a pile of salt, while thinking about the person you feel sympathy for. Continue the procedure for about five minutes. Then look at the resulting reflection of salt and wax. The shape of the shadow will tell you what to expect from this relationship.

The meaning of the figures when divining on the mirror:

• Ring - for marriage
• Ship or boat - to part
• Flower or bouquet - to receive a gift from a loved one
• Tree - you will get pregnant from this man
• Clouds - your dreams of a romance with him will remain only dreams
• The figure of a man - you will meet another
• Female figure - he loves another woman
• Dog - there will be only friendship between you
• Snake - you have envious people who will interfere with relationships

Other characters can be read intuitively. Don't be afraid to use your own associations.
"Mirror" fortune-telling has not lost its popularity for several centuries. Such a long period suggests that these predictions are really true. Try at least one of them to make sure!

Christmas fortune-telling was once one of the most interesting events during the winter holidays. Most often, they guessed together with their girlfriends, but there are also fortune-telling that should be done alone.

Christmas divination for the betrothed with mirrors

Christmas fortune-telling for the betrothed, for which it is necessary to use a mirror, has always been considered the most dangerous and scary. In order to see the reflection of your betrothed, you need to guess all alone. Do this only at night, without electric lighting, by candlelight.

It was believed that if an evil spirit appeared instead of the betrothed, she could settle in a room in which they were guessing at the betrothed with a mirror. While doing this in non-residential premises, our great-grandmothers tried to protect themselves from evil spirits.

Let the hair down, do not use hairpins, remove the belt and Jewelry. A large number of buttons and fasteners on clothes can interfere with the free flow of energy that is necessary for divination, so it is better to choose something without them.

Reflective surfaces should be facing each other, forming a mirror corridor. Place any candle between them and light it. In some sources, it is advised to put two candles - one near each mirror.

Costumed my betrothed, come to me for dinner!

Now peer deep into the mirror corridor. Sooner or later you will be able to see the face of your future husband. As soon as you manage to see it, say: " Keep me out". Then he will disappear. If fortune telling is not interrupted, the betrothed will be able to get out of the mirror and harm the fortuneteller.

If you don't have two mirrors, do it a little differently. They put a candle near one mirror and sit down in front of it. Put a towel next to you. If the mirror begins to condense or the reflection becomes cloudy, wipe it with a towel. This means that soon your future spouse will appear to you. With this method of divination, he does not appear from the mirror, but approaches the fortune-telling girl from behind and is reflected in the mirror with her, but you cannot turn around and generally take your eyes off the mirror. When you see the face of the betrothed, you must say "Chur this place." If he has time to come to the table, he will sit next to you and put something on the table. This thing can be taken after the departure of the betrothed.
