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

clover rituals

Basically this are all similar rituals that involve clovers - so you will need clovers (with two or four leavse) and shoes. This is how four leaved clover looks like  - Put a clover with two leaves in one of your shoes - the first man that approaches you from the side the clover is in ,will be your husdband ( i know this sounds risky huh ) - Put a four leaved clover in your shoe and you will marry a man with the same first  name as the man that approaches you first from the side clover is on. (huh,this sounds better than the one above,dosent it? ) - Put a four leaved clover in your shoe and you will soon meet the man you will marry

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''

Miseltoe telling

Again not a dream one really but interesting You should name twoleaves of miseltoe (your name and name of your love interest) and place them together next to the fier,if both of them ''jump'' up together ,you and the person you named other miseltoe after will marry - if not ...not meant to be ...according to the Miseltoe telling
