Historical reference
For the fortune-telling procedure, our ancestors found soothsayers, whose names were passed on from mouth to mouth. Everyone turned to fortune tellers: respectable older ladies and young girls. In front of them, a deck of cards was spread out and men's secrets were revealed.
The history of cards is very contradictory: experts put forward different theories about the appearance of the deck we are familiar with. Some believe that maps appeared in China in the 10th century; they were more like dominoes, because they were wooden sticks with symbols.
Europeans borrowed maps much later than other peoples; they were brought by the famous traveler Marco Polo. The gypsies were the first to use cards for the purpose of fortune telling. However, people would not gain confidence in such a ritual immediately: only closer to the 19th century. One of the first famous fortune tellers on the cards is the Frenchwoman Anne-Marie Lenormand, who, due to the death of her father, was forced to leave her studies at a convent and go to work as a dressmaker.
At the same time, the girl learns to tell fortunes on playing cards and predict fate, which after a while allows her to open her own fortune-telling salon, where there was no end to those who wanted to tell fortunes. People from high society lined up for a session with Anna Maria.
How to prepare?
Nowadays, there is no longer any need to look for fortune tellers: every girl can perform a magical ritual on her own. At home, it is possible to carry out only simple fortune telling, but it will also be able to reveal the secrets of your chosen one.
First, buy a deck of cards: it should be completely new, one that no one has ever used before. Most ordinary cards from an office supply store or printing kiosk will do. To perform the ritual, it is best to be alone.
Do not give your personal deck of cards to anyone. It is advisable to guess in the evening: the result will be more accurate. Ideal time for the ritual: the thirteenth, Friday or Christmas time. Do not perform the ritual during church holidays; such as Easter or Trinity.
You can’t ask the cards for tips too often: one session a week will be more than enough. It is not recommended to ask magic about the same thing several times. Experienced fortune tellers in this case will say: “You will lose your happiness.”
If you tell fortunes to another person, after the ceremony he should not say “thank you” and “goodbye” to you. Before starting the procedure, it is advisable to read the amulet: the cards can also raise the negative, because not always only a positive interpretation appears.
When conducting fortune telling, ask questions correctly: say the guy’s name exactly, no need to use the pronoun “he”. Strictly follow the specific instructions for a particular ritual: you cannot change the sequence of actions or simplify anything at will.
Don't turn fortune telling into routine. When you are going to perform such a ritual, it is advisable to create an appropriate atmosphere around you and light candles.
Fortune telling for love at home with needles
There are different ways that will demonstrate how your loved one feels and what development awaits the relationship.
They use different magical attributes: flowers, books, wax, Tarot cards, playing cards. The main thing in the art of performing rituals is the interpretation of the results. Often only a person with a rich imagination or sufficient experience will explain the answer. There are a large number of fortune tellings in which needles are used.
Prepare 13 long thin needles or pins. 3 are bent in half, the remaining 10 remain intact. Take varnish or markers and mark one of the needles - the fortune teller's needle.
If they are telling fortunes about certain people, they mark the needles that are responsible for them. The fortune teller places a blank sheet of Whatman paper in front of her, takes needles in her left hand, lifts them above the white sheet and throws them down.
Interpretation of the result
To correctly decipher the result, mentally (or previously) divide a sheet of paper into 5 parts (top, bottom, right, left and center).
The needles that fall into the upper sector control circumstances, and those that fall into the lower sector control the circumstances. The sector on the left tells about the past, on the right - about future events. The central area is a zone of peace, confidence, harmony.
Determine in which sector the significator needle lies. If the attribute is in the middle and intersects with others, good luck awaits you in love relationships, meeting interesting people, and pleasant surprises from your partner.
They look where the ear of the attribute points: if in the upper right corner, changes in love are positive, if in the lower right corner, they expect unpleasant news from their lover. If the ear looks up to the left corner, global changes in love relationships have already occurred, no changes are expected in the future. An ear directed to the lower left says that relationships depend only on the efforts made.
If the needle does not intersect with others, there will be loneliness, difficulties in communicating with people of the opposite sex, conflicts with a loved one.
If the needle is at the top, it all depends on the girl. If the ear is directed to the right, there is a gradual loss of influence on the relationship. The ear is directed to the left sector - a warning to monitor words and actions so as not to destroy harmony.
If the needle is at the bottom, the girl is led to her partner. Look to see if the needle intersects with other points or eyes. The more ears directed towards the significator needle, the stronger the union and the more the chosen one loves. The bent needles that lie next to the significator will tell you about troubles in relationships.
If the attributes are located close, pointing towards the fortune teller’s needle, there are many ill-wishers who will try to destroy the union. If the needle lands clearly on the significator, there is a rival.
To make fortune telling clearer, divide the sheet into 12 sectors in a circle: each area is responsible for 1 month. Fortune telling will show how relationships will develop throughout the year.
Types of fortune telling
Simple for feelings
Choose a king: this will be the man you are wondering about; it is better to choose the one who at least approximately matches the description of your chosen one:
- mature and respectable - king of clubs;
- young and single - king of diamonds;
- married - king of hearts;
- the stranger is the king of spades.
We place the selected card in the center, and place the remaining three kings above it. During fortune telling, do not forget to carefully shuffle the deck, and also move the upper part with your left hand - towards the heart. Divide the remaining cards into three decks and place them face down on the top kings.
We place the very last card from each group on “our” king.
Then you should look at the meanings of the three treasured cards:
- six . It won't do anything good. Such a man is not worthy of your feelings;
- seven . Reports a pleasant surprise. What if it all turns into a marriage proposal;
- eight . It promises a conversation with your man about your future relationship with him;
- nine - the brightest feelings will flare up between you, but before that, many obstacles will arise on the way. It's worth being patient;
- ten . Speaks only of friendly sympathy; there is no chance for a serious relationship here;
- jack - empty troubles. Don't expect reciprocal sympathy;
- the lady is a rival who is going to destroy cherished plans;
- ace - your chosen one has strong feelings, but something prevents him from admitting it.
On the feelings of a guy by his name
Mix the deck thoroughly, at this time think about who you are going to guess. Move the top part of the deck towards you with your left hand and place it under the bottom. The cards must be arranged into as many piles as there are letters in your boyfriend’s full name (if his name is Alexander, you do not need to use the name Sasha when fortune telling).
When scattering cards into piles, you cannot peep their meanings. When the deck is finished, take the pile in which you placed the last card. Use it to repeat the previous steps.
Deal the cards until you have two piles left. Then, with both hands, we simultaneously take a card from two piles at once and look at their drawings.
If you get cards with two identical values (two nines or two eights), then using these combinations you can determine the degree of seriousness of your boyfriend’s feelings:
- sixes - road, a young man will soon come to visit you;
- sevens - a romantic date;
- eights - the young man wants to talk to you;
- nines - he loves you very much;
- tens - a young man is interested in you as a person;
- jack - the guy wants to take care of you;
- ladies - the mysterious young man is already taken;
- kings - jealousy;
- aces - the guy experiences an irresistible attraction to you.
For your future together
Among the queens in the deck, guess yourself, and among the kings, guess your boyfriend. There is no need to find and take out the treasured cards! Shuffle the deck well and remove half the cards with your left hand. We lay them out face up - 9 pieces in one row.
If there are cards of identical suit nearby, they must be removed, and the remaining ones must be moved towards each other. We remove cards with the same suit that are nearby in both horizontal and vertical rows. Fortune telling continues until there is nothing left to remove.
Now we need to remember: were the hidden lady and king nearby or not?
If the hidden lady and king ended up together, then you and your other half will always be together, and if not, you need to look at what cards were between you, this will tell about interference in personal relationships:
- six - separation will occur due to the long departure of one of you;
- seven - unpleasant conversation;
- eight - romantic meeting;
- nine - uncertainty in feelings;
- ten - the guy’s fear of opening up to you;
- jack - unnecessary troubles and excitement;
- lady - feelings for another girl;
- king - fear of competition, jealousy;
- ace - an event will happen soon that will radically change your life.
"Black Rose"
For this fortune telling, which is considered the simplest, you need to formulate questions that can only be answered “yes” or “no.” For example, is a relationship with this person possible, does he love me? Ask your question clearly, and then carefully shuffle the entire deck of cards and draw one of them.
Card meanings:
- ace - the answer is positive;
- any of the figures - it all depends on you;
- ten to six - the answer is no.
Tell your fortune for the king
Make a wish for a king of a specific suit. If the object of your desire is young - it is the king of diamonds, if the object is not free - it is of hearts, if it is older or important - it is of clubs, if it is unfamiliar - it is of spades.
A simple way to predict developments
Mentally focus on your lover, shuffle the deck, slowly lay out the cards one at a time on the table, saying a phrase for each card:
- “Such and such king (name the chosen one)”;
- “tell me, dear”;
- “Do you love me?”;
- "I very love you";
- "with all my heart";
- "with all my soul";
- “but there is a better person than you.”
When you lay out the last image and the hidden king does not fall out, repeat the action first with the same deck of cards, without shuffling or adding the dropped cards. You just need to repeat the action in a circle until the mysterious man appears, even if he is the last card in the deck, because you need to find out what connects you with him and what to do with your feelings.
Those words that fall on your king will be a clue, as well as a prediction. The fact that your feelings are mutual can only be judged if the hidden king appears in the first phrase.
In what cases will fortune telling not come true?
The fortune telling results will be incorrect if:
- during the procedure there are strangers in the room - those you do not trust;
- It’s very noisy around: the hum of cars outside the window, children running and frolicking;
- During fortune telling, cards constantly crumble and fall out of your hands;
- electrical appliances work: computer, TV, telephone;
- if a mother tells fortunes for her daughter, then she can “guess” her life for her: the daughter will completely repeat the fate of her mother;
- give up fortune telling if you are not feeling well;
- a real fortune teller never uses magic “in public” to prove that her rituals are true.
