Here are a few signs associated with the New Year and Christmas holidays that are still relevant today.
Main New Year's omen, preserved from ancient times, reads: How you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it, - this inexorable law of the magic of the “first day” is tried to be observed almost everywhere.
You cannot wash dirty linen in public on the eve of the New Year, i.e. sweep and remove garbage, otherwise there will be no prosperity in the house. Since ancient times, litter has been considered an allegory of prosperity and wealth - let us remember the sign that litter should not be swept towards front door, otherwise the wealth is swept away.
New Year's table must be abundantly stocked with dishes, then the family will have prosperity all year long. Don’t forget to put bread and salt on it according to tradition - this is a symbol of well-being.
Try to celebrate the holiday in new clothes, then the year will be successful. In addition, there is a sign: for the New Year with new clothes - wear new clothes all year long.
You can’t go without money on New Year’s Day, otherwise you’ll be in need all year long. It is under no circumstances recommended to pay off debts before the holiday, otherwise you will remain in debt for the whole year.
Before the whole family sits down to New Year's table, entangle his legs with ropes: then you will live together for a whole year.
It is imperative to appease an animal that eastern calendar is the owner of the year.
Many believe that after spending New Year's Eve alone, they will remain lonely for a whole year, although this sign is never confirmed. Well, what if you still have no one to celebrate the New Year with? First of all, call your family, friends and acquaintances the day before. Congratulate them on the upcoming holiday. Ask how they plan for the New Year. And, if appropriate, say that you are alone. It is possible that you will receive at least one invitation to visit...
Neither iron, nor light, nor anything else should be taken out of the house on New Year's Eve, otherwise the house will be in danger of disaster. Even the ancient Celts took significant precautions to ensure that the fire in the hearth did not go out on New Year's Day. So, if this happened, not a single neighbor would lend the loser fire (and matches had not yet been invented in those ancient times). A superstitious man, lending fire to his neighbor, believed that he was giving away with it all the good luck that awaited him in the coming year. And if a family, who through their own oversight lost a fire, managed to steal a burning coal, then they faced even greater failure, since the stolen fire was not “holy.”
Among students, there is an interesting ritual associated with making a wish for the New Year. To do this, with the first strike of the Kremlin chimes, you need to write on a napkin cherished wish(and only one, and so that no one reads it!), tear off a piece of paper with a note, swallow it and wash it down with champagne, and all this must be done while the chimes continue to count twelve strokes. A wish made cannot be told until the end of the year, otherwise it will not come true.
