An old guessing on the sex of a child is a rite or a way to find out the truth?

So long the expected event happened. A married couple found out that soon they will have a baby. For the awareness of what happened most often the future parents should desire to know the sex of the baby. And if the dad in this regard is quite capable of restraining his curiosity, then the future mother thinks about it very often. Questions in this regard are asked not only by close relatives, but also by friends, colleagues at work. The woman begins to listen to the observations and judgments of others, based on popular beliefs and fortune-telling.

Such methods of determining the sex of the future child existed many centuries ago and are kept in the national memory to the present day. Medicine was still unable to answer this question. Now, fortunately, the future mother does not need to go to the bath-house to meet the brownie and ask him to give her a hand, hoping that she will be shaggy (which meant the birth of a little assistant) or naked (which meant the birth of the successor of the family).

At the present time, guessing on the floor of a future child can be perceived as an ancient people's rite, acquaintance with the traditions of the people, fun, but not as a reliable source.

The most popular guessing on the sex of a child is guessing with a ring or a needle.

1. A ring is better to take an engagement. Collect a glass of water and put the ring there.

Then the ring must be reached and suspended on a string, lowered unintentionally into the hands of the one to whom they are guessing. Wait for the girl if the ring walks in a circle, if it moves on the pendulum principle - there will be a boy.

If the ring is not for some reason, you can use a needle on this principle, just before you hang it on a thread, you should pierce it with a piece of woolen cloth.

2. The next guessing on the child's sex is more likely to be available to a rural woman. It is necessary to take wheat and barley grains. A pregnant woman should moisten them with her urine. The boy will be born, if the first grains of barley grow.

3. Sometimes it is possible to divide the child's sex while eating. It happens that the future mother chokes. At this point, you should ask her to name any number. Count how much the letter in the alphabet denotes. Now it remains to ask to name the woman a name for this letter. A feminine named name means that a daughter should be expected.

As for eating, there is also such an observation: if the pregnant woman prefers the hunchbacks from the bread, and not the middle - to be a boy.

4. You can try to make sure the correctness of the third method with a piece of bread. The pregnant woman should go out into the street and put it in the yard in a conspicuous place. If the bread was eaten by a dog - a boy will be born, and if he got a bird - a girl will be born.

5. There was also a guessing on the sex of the child with the help of candles, candlesticks and ryazhonki. This method of guessing suited a woman, if she already had one child.

The loin should be placed on the table, three candles should be placed next to it in the candlesticks. Lighting candles, you should say the following words:

The first candle - "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit!";
The second candle - "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, the Boy!";
The third candle - "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, the Girl!".

The first candle that goes out indicates the sex of the baby. If the first candle goes out before, this woman will not have children.

6. An interesting ritual of divination with the help of stones. You should write names on the stones with the help of ink. Throw rocks into the water. After a while, the inscriptions begin to wash away. The stone, on which the inscription with the name is best preserved, will indicate the sex of the future child. This way you can find out the number of future children.

And at last we will try to present to you the collective image of future mothers.
