Christmas eve ritual

I know,i know Christmas - Both Catholic and Ortodox have passed,but you can use this next one! They are just 12-13 months away So yeah,on Christmas Eve a girl (or a boy) should spit the first bite from dinner in napkin,she/he should do the same with their last bite - merge those two bites (i know,it sounds so grose ) and tie napkin. She should say  ''God,please bring me my destined on to my dreams'' The moment she puts down napkin under the pillow she shuld not talk to anyone,just go to sleep. She will only dream a man if she was destined to marry the next year! (So if you dont dream him - you are not going to get married the year that follows,just try the ritual  next Christmas Eve again) This ritual is confirmed by girls from all around Serbia , my friends mother has done it and she did meet the man she dreamt,and did marrie him the year that followed.

Apple skin ritual

For this ritual you should take nice,big and if possible red apple and try to skin it without braking the circle , you should do it before you go to sleep,there should be no noise around you,and after you've done it you should not talk o anyone! So this is just example of what circle i am talking about,obviously skin has been broken,and ritual with this apple from picture would not work. Once you have your long apple skin,you put it in napkin and under your pillow. You should dream your destined one. There is also another ritual with apple skin - the apple should be pealed the same,without braking the skin ,once you have done it,you should take the skin and throw it across your right shoulder - behind your back . Look what shape the skin fell in to,then try to figure out wich letter it looks like,because that is the initial of your destined one.

The bridge

The bridge ritual is done with a glass of water or at river if you have one near you (sream of water  too) You need 1 glass filled with  water 2 sticks or 2 toothpicks You should place two sticks one next to other across the glass,making it look like a bridge Or if you are doing it on a river or stream - place two rocks at two sides and make a bridge with sticks And before you go to sleep say ''Let my destined one hellp me to pass this bridge'' You should put the glass next to your bed or even under it. That night you are suposed to dream of a man hellping you cross some sort of bridge,my granny has done it near the river in her time and the man she dreamt did not hellp her cross any bridge,but later in life she met the man (she did not know him before,she recognized him as the man she then dreamt once she married him   ) I will repeat that the best day for doing any ritual is before big Saint days. Oh,and some people say that once you do dream t

Sky opens for your wishes on Epiphany nights

One more thing i would like to share with you about rituals done on Epiphany night is the one of Serbian belif that sky opens for you to grant your wishes or show you the face of your destined one. So, a night before Epiphany day it is belived that sky opens up so the winds could cross - the winter winds cross with summer ones,and that night all the wather is blessed,it is belived that if you are outside when that happens,and you see it,you have permision to wish something of God - make a wish. Some say you should see the clear sky (it's mostly clowdy at the time of the year) see the stars and moon. When should you go outside to make a wish? At 12pm,and look at the sky to see if it opened for you. There is also a belif that that same night on the sky you can see a face of the one you are going to marrie. So next year you can try it,it has passed 5 days ago :0

Mirror under the pillow

Mirros under the pillow ritual is one of the rituals commonly associated wit the Epiphany (Also known as Teophany) Christian  holiday,wich falls on 19th January in Ortodox calendars. So the night before the holiday you put a mirror under your pillow - and say ''may the destined one comes to my dreams '' And you should dream the man ''of your dreams'' that nigh - probably wont see his face. You can do this ritual whenever you want ,best time to do it is night befor a holy day (and ritual you do is best done then) Ps. there are many ''under the pillow '' rituals in Serbian culture and belif ,and i will write about them in my future blogs. Edit : One girl told me for the mirror under pillow ritual wich should be done 3 days - starting from Wndsdany to Fiday - third night the person you dream is ''the one''

The ring on a string

So,time for new ritual lovelies :D So this one can be used for various things - from detirmening the year you will get married to even finding out how many children you will have,their gender,number of marriges,and even destined ones NAME - yes,you have heard it well,even the name! So you need a red string or strand of your hair,a ring (some say wedding ring works best (obviously not yours,find someone elses)) and 1. a glass of wather (wide as whiskey glass) 2. or if you have a specific men on your mind their pictures (yes you can do it over the phone or tablet) and 3. your wrist. Put a string through the ring should look like this 1. put it over the glass filled with wather,do not move your hand! The ring should start on its own hitting the edges of the glass (i repeat,you should keep you hand completely still!)  Now the number of times this ring clicks you should count them - because if you are looking at what age are you going to marrie (you should say ''

Salted egg ritual

so this one is my favorite one and the one that worked with me - no i have not yet met those men wich i dreamt,the thing is i never dream good dreams,esspecialy not ones with young men  (i dream ''fantastic horror dreams'' most often) but after this rtual i had pleasent dreams of men... So you need one boiled egg,you cut it in half,but the yellow in the middle should be whole, so do not cut the egg completly,just the whites.  Take the yellow part and roll it in salt - lots of salt,and then put it back in white parts of the egg ,and eat it like that. Some people complain of how grose it tastes,i personally love salted food so for me it is never salty enough,no matter how much salt i roll it in. The point is that you should go to bed thristy  - before you eat the egg you should say ''let the one who is destined to me bring me wather to kill my thirst'' After  that you should go to bed - and do not speak a word to anyone. You should dream a m
