Humanity has come up with so many magical rituals, so many mysterious, mesmerizing ways of divination. Why is still unpretentious fortune-telling on a camomile still successful? And does it have any power at all, or is it nothing more than a children's game? Let's get it right.
It would seem that there can be more Russian, original than fortune-telling on a camomile? Meanwhile, this flower was revered as magical in many places. In ancient Rome, for example, whence came its name "romana" - that is, "Roman". The ancient Egyptians believed that the solar god Ra himself planted chamomile on earth , and the ancient Chinese believed that these flowers grow on the site of fallen stars. All this is easy to understand, just look at the daisy - how much it looks like a little sun! But in the countries of the East, where everything is thoroughly saturated with philosophy, chamomile is considered as the embodiment of a holy place in which life’s roads meet - snow-white petals. All interpretations are beautiful, everyone is full of meaning, everyone says that the flower is not simple. Magic? May be so.
To use chamomiles for predictions, you do not need to go to fortune-tellers and fortunetellers, you do not need to arrange the ceremony in a special, wise way. What could be simpler than fortune-telling on a camomile: loves - does not love ... No need to interpret, think out, conceive - the flower itself will give a definite answer. “Loves - does not love,” - two petals flew away. "Kiss - spit," - a couple more after them. “Press to the heart - to hell”, - the formulations are different, but the meaning is the same. “He loves sincerely - he doubts,” - two more fortune tellers fell to the ground. “Waiting for reciprocity - taunts,” and further in a circle until the last petal is torn off. The answer was received with him - the answer is correct, the answer is the only one.
By and large, even memorizing this saying is not necessary - fortune-telling on a camomile is not a strict procedure. “He loves - does not love,” - this is the main thing, just not to get lost. Although traditions recommend a few simple rules. Firstly, you should not pluck the first flower that has turned up by the arm - let your heart tell you it. Secondly, the chamomile is always held in the right hand, and the petals are torn off with the left. Thirdly, one must believe in fortune telling, well, at least a little, otherwise, what kind of fortune telling is one of mischief.
By the way, fortune-telling on a camomile is not the only thing. A magic flower can predict the correct answer in any case, where there are two options. “It will come true - it will not come true”, “believe - do not believe”, “go - do not go” ... And you can also look into the future. To do this, you need to collect a whole bunch of daisies, but picking off the petals is not required. The bouquet is placed at the head of the bed for the night, and if by the morning it looks as fresh, it means that the near future is also rosy, comfortable, happy. Kupala fortune-telling on a camomile is also known, when the girl's sunny flowers are woven into wreaths, and they are thrown into the water. A wreath will swim to the other side - it will be soon to wait for the wedding. A wreath will open up - plans will be violated. The chamomile will separate from the wreath - to know the beloved has gone to the side.
Interpretation for daisies is even in dream books. Seeing this flower in a dream is for luck, family happiness, financial well-being. Of course, such pure petals cannot, such a sunny core predict something bad!
Even in our high-tech time, when sophisticated fortune-telling and cunning solitaire migrated to the computer, there was a place in the virtual space for a modest daisy. Many programs have already been written that simulate the process of tearing off petals - turn on, guess: "He loves - he does not love."
However, no programs can replace simple and heart-to-heart fortune-telling on chamomile. And what questions do not ask her, but the main ones will still be questions about love. Indeed, even the name of the flower seems to hint: fortune-telling on a camomile is fortune-telling on a novel.
