The girls of Kalmykia tomorrow can guess on the groom

The girls gathered for evening gatherings – people called them Grigoriev evenings. Their main occupation was divination.

A mirror was placed on the table and a candle was lit from church wax. According to legend, if at midnight for a long time to look in the reflection and say “Broken-dressed, appear dressed”, you can see the features of the future groom. It was necessary to watch without blinking, otherwise the vision will not appear.

There were simpler ways to know fate. For example, they put a comb under the pillow and said: “Brought-up, come comb me.” If a girl saw a guy in a dream, it means that it was close to a wedding. If the comb was found on the floor in the morning, and there was no dream - this year the narrowed should not be expected.
