But in fact, the most sacred and powerful day for divination falls precisely on January 19 - on Epiphany.

Fortune telling on coffee grounds

Thanks to this simple action, you can not only know the future, but also find answers to the main questions. So, pour coffee into a Turk and wait for it to be ready. Coffee should be brewed in silence so as not to be distracted. Then pour coffee into a cup and, most importantly, while you drink coffee, mentally ask the question you want the answer to. When only coffee grounds remain in the cup, abruptly turn the cup over on the saucer and proceed to decipher the resulting pattern.
So, for example, if an eye appears, expect good changes in life. Dots are considered an auspicious sign, and the image of a vessel portends a large amount of money. Lips - to love passions, and snails - to slow down the work begun. nine0003

Divination with a comb

One of the simplest divination, but no less effective. Take your comb (be sure to use the one that only you used). Look closely in the mirror and start combing your hair, mentally calling on your betrothed. If your message is sincere, you will definitely see your chosen one in the mirror.

Fortune telling on a red thread

Another old fortune telling with which you can determine the name of your betrothed. We take a red woolen thread, measure three times the distance from the elbow to the wrist. Set fire to one end of the thread (but do not forget about safety precautions!) and start listing the letters of the alphabet from A. And as soon as the thread burns out, stop. The letter on which the listing ended will be capitalized in the name of the betrothed. nine0003

Evening fortune-telling

In the evening, when the first star appears in the sky, take a piece of paper and a pen. Draw a five-pointed star so that each end contains a wish, of which there should be five in the end. When writing each of the desires, it is necessary to visualize them, imagining that you already have what you want. If, for example, you want to get pregnant, imagine yourself with a long-awaited tummy, how you stroke it, and then how your baby sleeps sweetly next to you. When you are done with writing, move on to the next step: take a needle and thread, thread the thread through the eye and imagine that you are holding a pendulum.
