How to guess on the day of the Trinity?

Often girls on this day guess at their betrothed, love and future. For divination accuracy, it is better to use water and plants.

1. Divination by the river. The girl should braid a wreath and put a lit candle in it. Next – release into the river. If he drowns near the shore, then the relationship with the man will not be too long, if far away, then you will meet your fate. If the wreath is washed ashore, you can expect a wedding this year.
2. Fortune telling on a wreath. In the evening, you need to make a wreath of birch and several types of grass: Ivan da Marya, burdock, thyme and bear’s ear. Leave it overnight in the yard. If in the morning you see that the wreath has withered, then in the future you may have difficulties. If it remains fresh, the year will be successful.
3. Fortune telling on St. John’s wort. If you want to find out if a man has any feelings for you, then take a bunch of St. John’s wort and twist it so hard that the juice drips out of you. If the juice is clear, then the man does not love you. If it is red, then rejoice – the feelings are mutual.
