me, standing over a display of advent calendars and chocolate santas in local aldi on 31st october: letting christmas encroach into november is surrendering to western capitalist propaganda. november is the true spooky month. it begins with dziady when we invoke ghosts and spirits of our ancestors and ends with andrzejki when we divine our matrimonial future. christmas has no business anytime between the two. i firmly believe we should get up to all kinds of spooky rituals during that period. rip to people thinking spooky season ends on halloween but we slavs are different
the aldi cashier: very well ma'am, does that mean you won't be interested in 50% discount if you purchase two chocolate santas instead of one

Andrzejki Fortune Telling!
Today, I have met with a few friends to do some fortune telling for them. They have never done fortune telling using wax, so they were eager to participate.
It is a tradition in Poland to do wax divination on the St Andrew's eve. Back in the day it was practised by unmarried women to foretell whether the coming year they would "finally" find a husband and whether there will be wealth in their future or hardship. They would melt lead and pour it through the whole at the other end of a key into a bowl with cold water. Then would hold the shapes created in front of a light to see what kind of shadow it would throw on the wall. Those shapes then would reveal their future.
Nowadays people use wax because it is cheaper and less dangerous and people of all genders and relationship status now participate in the fortune telling, as people take it less seriously and just see it as a fun thing to do.
Tumblr media
So I have brought the things needed for the fortune telling and then all we had to do is wait.
Once enough wax was molten we were able to pour it through the key hole into the bowl of cold water I have prepared.
One of my friends had a cloud, which can either mean that one of their dreams will come true or that they spend too much time dreaming rather than living in the present. Another wax piece resembled a pad lock, which means that they are closing themselves off emotionally and cannot progress romantically.
Another friend had an angel which means that good fortune awaits them. They also had a squirrel. Forrest animals mean that they should be wary of danger.
The last friend had an elephant with its trunk pointing upwards which also means that good fortune lies in their future. Their second figurine looked like a cat which means they should be wary of certain relationships in their life.
My first symbol was a ship. This symbolises change in life and also travel in the future. That seems very fitting because I am in deed planning on moving to a different town soon as I am starting a new job, so both change and travel are definitely covered here!
Tumblr media
My second figurine looked like a person playing a flute or any other similar instrument. Well I could not find anything in my book of fortune telling symbols that would tell me what it means, so I just hope that it means that I actually will be able to learn how to play the tin whistle one day, that is collecting dust on my shelf right now.
Tumblr media
That concludes our small divination adventure. Does anyone else know about other traditions that involve fortune telling from any other cultures? Have you guys ever done divination or fortune telling yourselves? Tell me all about it, I am very curious!

Andrzejkowe zabawy - scenariusze zajęć
Andrzejkowe zabawy – scenariusze zajęć
Andrzejki – wierzenia i tradycje Wierzono, że w wigilie świętego Andrzeja 29 listopada duchy przodków podobnie jak w noc świętojańską wracają na ziemię i odsłaniają tajemnice – w noc Andrzejkową matrymonialne. Najbardziej rozpowszechnioną wróżbą było lanie na wodę roztopionego wosku przez ucho od klucza a następnie odczytywanie kształtów zastygniętego wosku, najlepiej z cienia rzucanego na…

List of Polish magic
Divine/God's box
Red thread on left wrist
Matches and water for checking curses
Scissors under pillow
ANDRZEJKI DIVINATION (usually rituals to find husband or find out who he is before you date/meet him)
No pearls as gift please!! They bring misery to gifted!!
Feathers are bad luck. Admire from afar. Don't bring home. (It's legal in Poland to have feathers you've found 😉)
No mirror in your room. Especially not above/near bed .It's portal you don't know who's watching!
Not popular anymore but like gnomes in garden were IT in 90s and 00s (but I can't remember if the people found them as protectors or just decorations?? 🤔)
Whispers. Super important to the witch
Throwing specific herbs to bonfire to undo curse or illness or even to cause the curse
Jajowanie (basically egg cleansing). Definitely u have to use only egg from village chicken, not store brought!!
Polish people ALWAYS throw rice at newly married couples
Licking and sucking the illness/curse away (from forehead)
No sage for cleansing. Verbena or Mugwort usually. Or lavender. Lots of it.
