Easter is one of the greatest Christian holidays, shrouded in sacred mystery, filled with mysticism and strong religious feelings of millions of believers. However, for young girls and women, Easter is not only an opportunity to cleanse themselves spiritually, but also a chance to at least a little clarify the near and distant future. Fortune telling for Easter is closely intertwined with folk Easter traditions, and some of them originate from the spring pagan rituals of the ancient Slavs. Fortune telling at this time is one of the most exciting and interesting of the year. And you can see for yourself how effective Easter fortune telling is by trying one of the options suggested below.
On Maundy Thursday (the last Thursday before Easter), the dough for holiday Easter cakes is traditionally kneaded. By allocating dough for each Easter cake, you can use it to tell fortunes for the future for yourself and loved ones. You can guess for several people at once, while each person has their own Easter cake and it is important not to confuse them during the cooking process.
Fortune telling for Easter using Easter cakes is carried out according to the appearance of these Easter cakes:
1.) If the Easter cake clearly did not turn out well, this is a bad sign, and the person it symbolizes should be very careful.
2.) If the cake is cracked or uneven, minor troubles or illness await the person.
3.) If the Easter cake is beautiful and neat, success in material and personal affairs awaits the person.
Fortune telling on Good Friday
It is strongly not recommended to start fortune telling on Good Friday, the day of the death of Christ. It is also better to refrain from using love spells from other magical rituals on this day. However, there are many folk signs associated with this day that can be useful in our time.
Here are some of them:
- breaking a saucer on Good Friday is a lucky omen;
- babies who are weaned on Good Friday should grow up strong and strong;
- The clothes you wash on Good Friday will never be washed clean.
Fortune telling on the night before Easter
On the night before the holiday, fortune telling is carried out by candle flame. To do this, you need to take a blessed church candle, light it and quickly say:
“You are a candle, burn, burn, talk about the future.”
Take a closer look at how the candle burns:
- If the flame is bright and restless, the year will be rich in exciting events and love experiences.
- If the flame is low and dim, the year will be boring and sad.
- If the flame is even and stable, then the near future will be the same. For married women, this promises peace and harmony in the family.
- If the candle does not burn so much as smoke, this promises loneliness and failure in love.
Fortune telling on the way from church for Easter
Another ancient Easter fortune-telling is associated with church candles, with the help of which you can determine whether this year will be successful for you. To do this, when blessing Easter cakes in church, you need to light one candle. This church candle must be inserted into the blessed Easter cake and taken home. If the candle does not go out on the way home, then the year will be successful and joyful. If the candle goes out, get ready for trouble. You can then use this candle in other Easter fortune-telling and magical rituals.
Fortune telling on the day of the Resurrection of Christ
Directly on the day of the Resurrection of Christ, you can use Easter fortune telling by eggs. Usually this fortune telling is carried out in the company of friends. The girl who will tell fortunes is blindfolded. At this time, the friends place a ring, bread, salt and sugar in the corners of the room. The fortune teller spins a painted Easter egg and rolls it around the room:
1.) If she rolls up to the ring, it promises her a quick wedding;
2.) Bread promises a hard-working and homely husband;
3.) Sugar - a sweet and cheerful life;
4.) Salt – bitter tears and disappointment.
Fortune telling during Easter week can be called an ancient Russian folk tradition. The clergy never approved of it, considering it a pagan relic that had no place in Christian traditions. Moreover, trying to find out what will happen in the future is called sin by clergy. However, they forget that all Easter traditions and symbols are entirely pagan, which do not at all prevent people from sincerely believing and honoring the saints.
Fortune telling for Easter– this is not just one ritual. They usually guess differently on:
- Betrothed.
- Love.
- Money, prosperity.
- Success, work.
You can tell fortunes using candles, Easter cake crumbs, eggs and their colors. And to fortune telling before Easter or during Easter week gave the correct answer, the result is that eggs and Easter cakes participating in the ritual must be consecrated in the church.
Ritual of fortune telling by wish
For this ritual you will need Easter cake, or rather, a piece broken off from it. Try to break it so carefully so as not to crumble it too much, to maintain its integrity.
“Armed” with a piece of Easter cake, you should go for a walk where there are the fewest passers-by, where no one will scare away the birds, because Easter fortune telling for wishes involves feeding them.
Having found such a place and a flock of birds, feed them, crumbling the piece completely. Then you should move away and watch the birds. If the birds pounced on the crumbs and quickly pecked them all off, the wish you made will soon come true.
If the birds “eat” without a visible desire, reluctantly, you will wait a long time for the fulfillment of your desire, because there is a person preventing this.
If the birds flew away completely without finishing the bread, the wish will never be fulfilled, or you set your sights on something too unattainable.
Love fortune telling
If you are in love, but do not know whether you are destined to be together, whether your feelings are mutual, go to the Easter service in the temple, buy two candles in it and turn to the Icon of the Virgin Mary.
This is what girls did in the old days, who were forbidden by tradition to take the initiative in relationships, to be the first to show their feelings. Therefore, they literally went crazy with ignorance and anticipation, conducting various Easter fortune telling for your betrothed.
The most popular ritual took place in front of the icon of the Virgin Mary. You should purchase two candles, guess which one will be a symbol of you and which one will symbolize your chosen one, light them at the same time, place both in front of the icon and carefully monitor the “behavior” of the fire.
If both lights burn brightly, strongly, without crackling, it means the feelings are mutual, and you will be together with your chosen one. The person whose candle goes out first loves more. If it goes out immediately after being lit, the relationship will not work, you will never be together.
If the candles “shoot” or smoke, someone else is standing between you and disturbing you. If a dark “patina” appears on the candles, you both love, but you will only be together through obstacles and troubles. And your relationship will not work out easily!
Fortune telling and conspiracies for Easter are associated with the main symbols of the Resurrection of Christ: candles (fire), blessed Easter cakes and colored eggs. The Orthodox Church does not approve of performing magical rituals, especially on the days of great Christian holidays. Therefore, if you are a deeply religious person who observes all traditions, you cannot tell fortunes and cast spells on all days of Easter week. Secular people are quite capable of performing ancient rituals, which, as our ancestors assured, can really help us find out the future and even change it a little for the better. The only restriction is not to tell fortunes on Good Friday. This is forbidden, and your witchcraft may turn against you!
Fortune telling with candles for good luck
After the Easter night service, take one long white candle and insert it into the center of the blessed Easter cake. On the way home from church, watch the behavior of the candle. If it burns with a bright and even light all the way, then the next year will be just as bright, filled with pleasant, long-awaited events and unexpected surprises. If the candle goes out, then problems and troubles await you or your loved ones.
Fortune telling with a colored egg for marriage
You can guess all Easter week. It is best to carry out the ceremony in the company of unmarried girls. Place salt, sugar, bread and a ring in the corners of the room. Then stand in the center of the room, unwind the Easter egg and watch in the direction of which object it begins to move:
To the ring - there will be a wedding soon;
For sugar - don’t get married, but there will be no shortage of gentlemen;
For bread - you will get not just a good, but also a rich husband, you will never go hungry with him;
To salt - unrequited love awaits you, you will cry salty tears;
Fortune telling for health and well-being
Be sure to bake your own Easter cake. He can tell you so much about your future! If the cake turns out ruddy, smooth, and beautiful, this will be your life and your health. If the cake comes out uneven and heavy, illnesses and problems await you. It’s especially bad if the cake burns or doesn’t bake at all - be careful, this doesn’t bode well.
Money plot
Throughout Lent, set aside a small amount of money every day. Come to church on Easter Sunday morning and drop money into the donation box. Ask the Lord to multiply everything you give a thousandfold. Be sure to go to the icon of the Resurrection, kiss it and read a prayer to the glory of Jesus Christ.
Spell-amulet for the home
Buy an even number of thin white candles from the church. Connect them in pairs (you can tie them with a thin red ribbon). Light and read the spell for well-being 9 times, asking the Father, Son and Holy Spirit to deliver you and your household from evil, illness, envy, and corruption.
Plot for marriage
Go to church on Easter Sunday. Take with you a small canvas bag with grains of wheat. After returning home, scatter the wheat at the doorstep and ask the Lord to send you as many suitors as there were grains in the bag.
On Easter you cannot tell fortunes with cards - this is dangerous, as it can attract Evil Forces. Also, on Easter, refrain from any love spells, even those related to White Magic.
Easter is the main Christian holiday, the symbols of which are Easter cakes and colored eggs. There are many rituals that during Easter week attract love, health and family well-being to the home. Fortune telling for Easter is enhanced by magical energy, so with its help you can determine your destiny.

On a painted egg
The most common fortune telling at Easter is on colored eggs. You can tell fortunes in this way throughout the entire Easter week. It is advisable that this ritual be performed by unmarried girls. For the ritual you will need a ring, bread, salt and sugar. Before fortune telling, you need to place one object in each corner of the room. After this, stand in the center of the room and spin the colored egg on the floor:
- The egg is heading towards the ring. If you have a lover, expect the development of love events up to a marriage proposal. A lonely girl will meet a young man and soon marry him.
- Sugar promises you many gentlemen, but without marriage. The year will be measured and calm. There will be no quarrels with loved ones.
- Bread is a secure life. The girl will have a man who will give expensive gifts, but this does not mean that he will marry her.
- Salt - tears and unrequited love await you.
With colored eggs you can tell fortunes not only about love, but also about income. The basket with blessed eggs is covered with a towel and placed on the table. The fortune tellers take turns approaching the basket and, without looking, take one egg. Future wealth is determined by color:
- red - profit, wealth;
- white - promotion and salary increase;
- green - the emergence of additional sources of profit;
- orange - job loss;
- blue - low income;
- yellow - many unexpected gifts.
On egg white
Protein fortune telling is similar to the ritual with a fresh egg, but there is a slight difference - you do not use the whole egg. Take half a glass of boiling water. Break 1 egg over a glass, separate the white and pour it into the water. The protein will begin to fold, forming different shapes. From them you can determine your future.
On sacred eggs
The girl takes an egg consecrated in the church, peels it and divides it into two equal parts with a knife. A soft-boiled egg indicates prolonged loneliness. If the yolk is close to the edge, there will be a wedding soon. The brighter it is, the better the future life together. Such divination should be carried out after returning from the Easter service.
Using Easter cake
For Easter, many housewives bake Easter cakes themselves. And this is not without reason, because baking can be used to judge the future fate and well-being of the entire family. If the cake turns out airy and rosy, with a well-baked middle, your life will be calm and prosperous. Failed baking is a bad sign. Family members may have various problems, including health problems.
On the Saturday before Easter, when the Easter cake dough is kneaded, you can tell fortunes about the fate of all family members. This is a simple fortune telling that all housewives used. Before baking Easter cakes, make one for each family member. After you take the cakes out of the oven, look carefully at the shape of each and try to determine the future from it.
If the cake is neat, without any unevenness or cracks, the year will be successful for the person. Cracked baked goods indicate illness and trouble. A settled cake is bad news.
On a church candle
After the Easter service in the temple, buy a white candle. It needs to be lit and inserted into the cake. On the way home, keep an eye on the flames. If it is constantly smooth and bright, then the whole year will be filled with pleasant events. An extinguished candle promises trouble for you and your loved ones.
On the maps
Fortune telling with cards before Easter is prohibited. This is dangerous because cards can attract evil forces into your home. During Easter week, you need to refrain from any such manipulations so as not to cause trouble and spoil your future. It is also forbidden to tell fortunes on coffee grounds or perform any witchcraft rituals.
Fortune telling at different times
Most of the rituals that our ancestors performed during Easter week are a thing of the past. There are many fortune telling and customs, and each of them has some truth. People believed that during the Easter holidays, with the help of simple manipulations, they could predict their future and protect their family from evil spirits. Faith in God helped them solve their everyday problems.
On the way to church for Easter
On the way to the festive service, collect 10 twigs, and before entering the temple, break them into pieces and say the following words: “I break twigs, I reject pride. Renounce before Christ's house if you can. You will return back and bow to the ground. You won’t say goodbye, you’ll get married.”
The night before Easter
In the evening before the Resurrection of Christ, you can tell fortunes using a church candle. It is consecrated in the temple, brought home, lit and watched over the flame:
- A bright, restless fire means exciting events.
- A dim, low flame means a year with few bright events, a sad year.
- Calm fire - stability and prosperity.
- A smoky candle flame means failure and loneliness.
On Maundy Thursday
On this day, they lit a candle in church and went home with it. With a burning candle, they walked around all the corners of the house and read a prayer. After the ceremony, they cleaned up. This custom helped protect the house and all family members from evil spirits. To ward off evil spirits, a bouquet of heather branches was hung on the front door. Thanks to this, a person with evil intent could not enter the house.
There are also many. And in the video there are signs and customs of this day:
On Good Friday
On this day Jesus was crucified, so magical rituals are not encouraged on Good Friday, but there are some. And there are also signs that need to be paid attention to:

- a child weaned from his mother’s breast on this day will grow up strong and healthy;
- It is believed that clothes that are washed on Good Friday cannot be clean.
On the day of Christ's resurrection
Previously, unmarried girls on Easter morning went to the river and swam in cold water. This ritual was performed in order to get married successfully.
A silver item and a painted egg were placed in the washing container. It was believed that silver purifies water from negative energy, the evil eye and damage, and the egg gives health and beauty. On the day of Christ's resurrection, they washed themselves with holy water in order to attract the respect of people. Seven good deeds done on Easter helped a person feel happy for a whole year.
Fortune telling for different purposes
For the betrothed
This ritual is performed on Maundy Thursday. Before telling fortunes for her betrothed, the girl must take a swim. The towel with which she dried herself should be taken to the church and given to people asking for alms. After this, go to church and during the service say the spell: “Christ's resurrection! Help me find my single betrothed, so that he has money and pies. He will become a good and handsome husband!”
For love
Fortune telling for love is the most ancient. It was carried out by girls who were forbidden to show their feelings and enter into relationships with the guys they liked. The unknown worried future brides, so they performed this powerful ritual.
If you doubt that your beloved’s feelings are sincere, go to church and stay there throughout the Easter service. When it runs out, buy two candles and place them in front of the icon of the Virgin Mary. One candle is a woman, and the second is her lover. Light the candles and watch the flames:
- The fire burns brightly, without crackling or soot. This means that your love is mutual.
- Extinguished fire. If the candle symbolizing the chosen one goes out earlier, he loves you more. A flame that goes out immediately does not promise any love relationship.
- Smoke and crackling are a sign indicating a third wheel - a rival or rival.
- A dull coating may appear on the candles. This means that many obstacles will arise on the path of lovers.
For money
Throughout Lent, set aside some money every day. On Easter Day, go to church in the morning and give them to the poor. Before this, you need to read the money spell: “Lord, return everything that I give, multiplying it a thousandfold.” Find the icon of the Resurrection, kiss it and read a prayer glorifying Jesus.
To fulfill a wish
If you want to tell your fortune, break off a small piece from the blessed Easter cake. You cannot use a knife.
Wrap the piece in a clean scarf and go for a walk to some secluded place, where you can safely feed the birds. Crumble the cake and throw it to the pigeons or sparrows. If the birds quickly collect the crumbs, your wish will soon come true. Bread left on the ground indicates that you will not get the desired result. Your wish will not come true because insurmountable obstacles will arise along the way.
For marriage
On Easter Sunday, you need to take a small canvas bag filled with wheat grains to church. When you return home, scatter grain on your doorstep and ask God to send you suitors.
If a girl wants to get married, she must try 12 Easter cakes baked by different housewives.
To marry a hardworking man, you need to get to church for Easter service before it starts. Girls who like to sleep and don’t come to church early will get lazy husbands.
To find a rich groom, you need to go to church on the Resurrection of Christ and buy 24 candles. Put half for your health, and the rest for the health of the future groom. After this, read the prayer: “Lord, save and preserve the servant of God whom you have appointed as your husband. Amen".
Bad weather on Easter Sunday suggests that it is better to postpone a wedding planned for this year because it will be difficult. Sunny weather predicts a long and happy marriage.
When you come home from church, before going to bed, put on clean underwear, tie two branches from different trees with woolen thread, put them on a plate and light a candle brought from the temple. When the wax begins to drip, read the spell: “Two branches are entwined forever, interlocked - cannot be separated, for joy, for goodness, for offspring, for profit, for eternal life.”
Is it a sin to guess on Easter?
According to the priests, any fortune-telling is a great sin, because you want to find out about your destiny, but the Lord does not reveal this secret to people. Maybe you don't need to know what will happen in the future, so don't try to guess, but just live and go about your daily business.
The sacrament of fortune telling is a powerful mystical rite, for the results of which you are responsible.
