Secret rituals: how to properly spend the Old Year and celebrate the New Year. New Year's sacrament

It’s not for nothing that they say that how you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it. The New Year is a new birth, a transition from one state to another, a renewal of everything that surrounds us. With the birth of a new year, there is a change in energies that greatly influence our lives. Therefore, you need to prepare and try to adjust these energies so that the year will be successful in everything.

12 days before the New Year...

Start consciously spending the year on December 20th. During this time, try to free yourself from everything superfluous and unnecessary in your life - literally and figuratively. If you have any unnecessary or unfinished connections, situations, relationships, debts and affairs that have arisen this year, they need to be completed as much as possible, putting an end to the energies of the outgoing year.

A week before the New Year...


During the seven days before New Year's, we have the opportunity to work out karma for the past year and enter the new one with fresh energy. By clearing the past, we solve many problems in the family, in relationships, and at work. We pay off debts on a subtle level and prepare to set new, desired goals.

DECEMBER 25. Time to be alone with yourself. In a calm atmosphere, remember the past year, analyze what was done correctly and what was not done well. Realize your dreams and true desires and start planning for next year.

DECEMBER 26. Day of health and active lifestyle. Hurry up, give up bad habits - even if only one - but right today and rush into the fresh air to strengthen your body. Clean up, get rid of old and unnecessary things.

27TH OF DECEMBER. If your soul asks for a holiday, today is just the right moment. Go on dates, play with your children and declare your love to your loved ones and friends.

DECEMBER 28TH. Make time for your parents. You can also do household chores - but be sure to have fun. If necessary, ask for forgiveness from your family and friends.

DECEMBER 29TH. This day is suitable for harmonizing relationships with men. Ask for their forgiveness and forgive them.

DECEMBER 30TH. A good time to make long-awaited purchases. Time to figure out whether you are doing what you love, or should you find yourself in another profession?

31TH OF DECEMBER. A day of change and bright, joyful plans. Time to communicate with your closest and dearest people.

On New Year's Eve...


With each chime, mentally repeat your deepest desire. After you have repeated it 12 times, and the sound of the last blow is still hanging in the air, spin the energy funnel, imagining how the energy of expectation, anticipation and joy gathers in your glass. After taking a sip, mentally redirect this energy to the heart chakra, holding the piece of paper with the desire in your left hand. Carry it with you for the first 12 days of the year, and on the morning of January 13, put the leaf in a container of water, add a drop of your favorite perfume and put it in the freezer for 12 hours. Before going to bed, light the candles and set the container to thaw. This will become a symbol that the ice has broken.

In the first 12 days of the year...

The first 12 days of the year influence how you will spend the coming 12 months. It is important to maintain the right attitude and work through one of the most important aspects of life every day.

1ST OF JANUARY. Dedicate the first day to communicating with your family and redefine your goals for the coming year. Do not skimp on giving warmth to those you love - this is the most powerful energy in the universe.

JANUARY 2. Call those you haven't yet had time to wish Happy New Year. Or maybe there is a person with whom you communicated as a child, but have not seen each other for several years? Believe me - he will be very happy to hear from you again!

JANUARY 3. Take a break from the material world for a while, turn on relaxing music, do meditation. It’s not a sin to simply bring joy to yourself on this day. However, this should not be just physical pleasure, but joy for your true self.

4 JANUARY. Take the first step towards realizing your main dream. Bold desires love active action and real deeds, not abstract plans. So today, tune in to the result.

5 JANUARY. Today it’s good to spend money on yourself, visit a spa, beauty salon or sauna. Enter the New Year fresh and renewed!

6TH JANUARY. Time for strategic planning. No matter what you are going to do throughout the year - business, gardening or creativity - make a clear plan and be sure to discuss it with your loved ones. Don’t be afraid to communicate and let others in on your secrets - you may need helpers.


JAN. 7. What word starts with this number? That's right, the word "family"! This is what you need to devote your entire day to. Think about your parents, buy them gifts (even if you have already given them something for the New Year). You can do something around the house, but be sure to do it with joy and enthusiasm.

JANUARY 8- day of children and creativity. Feel like a child and plunge into the atmosphere of the game, new experiences and surprises. Join your children in modeling, drawing, appliqué, or create a culinary miracle with their help. If you don't have children, go visit friends who do. Bring them interesting gifts and a good mood.

JANUARY 9. A good day to start a new diet or get rid of bad habits.

JANUARY 10. The best time to improve relationships with your partner, relatives and friends. Buy gifts, give joy and smiles to those you want to see around you throughout the year. Analyze relationships that are not going well and formulate options for changing the situation.

JANUARY 11. Today, clearly define for yourself what you can and should let go of from your life. Call on the four elements for help to cleanse yourself of negative energy. Make a symbolic “burial”: write on paper - this is the energy of the Earth - what you would like to forget. Burn the leaf, giving all the negativity into the hands of Fire. Blow away and let the Air carry your thoughts away. Just do this over running water! The fourth element - Water - will wash away and dissolve what should forever leave your destiny.

JANUARY 12. Go in search of a talisman that will remind you of your desires and plans. Buy what matches your inner feelings. Place the talisman, along with your wish, under your pillow on the night of the Old New Year and allow yourself to believe in a miracle.

Ritual "Seven Candles" from Olga Korepina

Buy seven different colored candles and set the intention that you would most like to achieve in the new year. Each candle will symbolize the planet and the day of the week it rules. The rest must be lit from this candle. On the first evening of the ritual - January 1 - you will have one candle burning, on the second - two, on the third - three, and on the last - January 7 - all seven candles should be burning. If you do this, it’s powerful - and very beautiful! - the ritual is correct - the result is almost guaranteed!

1st of January(this is Friday, and this day is ruled by Venus, which is responsible for sensuality, pleasure, beauty, love) - take a pink or green candle. For example, your most cherished desire is to meet your man in the new year and start a family with him. By lighting a candle, we imagine the man of our dreams - what he looks like, how he shows love for you, what you as a couple get pleasure from, etc.

January 2(planet Saturn, theme of duty and responsibility) - a brown or black candle will do. We analyze and formulate what you are willing to give up in order to make your dreams come true and what, on the contrary, you are willing to do.

January 3(planet Sun, energies of creativity, joy) - light a yellow or orange candle and visualize what, in the context of your desire, will bring you pleasure and inspiration.

4 January(The Moon, it is responsible for the energies that control the home, family, children and parents) - in addition to the rest, a beige or silver candle should burn.

5 January(planet Mars - expansion, actions and results, sports and passion) - by lighting a red or crimson candle, we visualize the fulfilled desire through the energies of Mars.

6th January(Mercury - it is responsible for contacts, implementation in society, money, communication, etc.) - it is best to find a multi-colored candle for this day.

Jan. 7(Jupiter - energies of power, business, property - this planet is responsible for scale and development) - a blue or purple candle is suitable.

WITH New Year There are a huge number of beliefs and signs associated with it. There are many fortune telling and traditions that are passed down from year to year from generation to generation. After all, being very attentive people, our ancestors noticed that by observing certain conditions and observing the world around us, we can in some way influence our destiny.


New Year- that time when real magic happens, good magic. In general, it's time to observe traditions and beliefs in omens, isn't it?

Before the New Year, we always celebrate the passing of the old year. And for good reason! The old passing year must be given respect! There was a lot of things in the old year: good and bad, but one way or another - you need to say thank you to it, thank you for what it was... After all, without it the next one would not have come!

Shortly before the end of the year, you need to get together with the whole family (or the company in which you are celebrating the New Year) and write on paper everything bad that happened in the old year. After this it is necessary burn"memoirs" in the fireplace or stove. If you have neither one nor the other, burn the paper in a candle flame and scatter the ashes in the wind from the window (don’t forget about fire safety!).

Then you need to write everything that you would like in the New Year - your wish will definitely come true!

10 minutes before the New Year Light a candle, stand with a glass of champagne and say words of gratitude to the passing year in a circle! Let everyone present say a few good words in his honor, and then you need to shout in unison: " Goodbye old year"! And blow out the candle everyone together. Then the old year will leave you with gratitude and make way for all the good things in the new!

Of course, the New Year requires even more attention! After all, he is still very young, which means he can be capricious! But by following a few rules, you can win him over.

Decide how you want to spend the coming year. It's very simple; there are several true and time-tested signs.

1. If celebrate New Year sitting- that means the year will be successful! Business will go uphill or, finally, there will be a long-awaited promotion at work. But you will have to work for this! Don't forget to devote time to family and relaxation, otherwise you will not be satisfied with the result!

2. If celebrate New Year standing– the next 12 months will be active and fun: many trips, visits, adventures, walks and unexpected interesting offers. All this will require a lot of effort and effort, but it won’t be boring for sure!

3. If celebrate the new year lying down, then rest over the next 365 days will know no bounds. Perhaps your career will not “jump” forward at great speed, but there will be no problems at work.

How to see off the old year and welcome the new one is up to you! But it was not for nothing that our ancestors compiled and believed in these signs? Try them to see for yourself! In any case, it will at least be fun!

We wish you a joyful New Year with your loved ones and friends!

See you in 2016!

In order to accept something new, you need to let go of the old.

The tradition of seeing off the Old New Year allows you to let go of the past, say goodbye to the events of the outgoing year and welcome a new year full of surprises and hopes.

Why is it important to celebrate the Old Year?

Primarily for psychological reasons. For any person, accepting something new is always a certain stress. Spending the past year with your family helps make the transition from new to old smoother and less stressful.

In other words, the celebration of the Old Year can be called a procedure for removing a person from a kind of stress. Many people worry about upcoming changes in life, afraid to face them. A feast in the family circle helps to calm a person.

On New Year's Eve, namely a few hours before the New Year, December 31, people say goodbye to the Old Year, thank it for everything it brought and look forward to the opportunity to greet the New Year.

Therefore, a very important aspect in preparing for the upcoming life in the New Year is to see off the present, into the past. If you don’t do this, the Old Year will not go away, and all the problems that were in it will haunt you for a very long time.

How should you spend the Old Year?

Gratitude is very important on this night. It can't be that nothing good happened in a year. Be sure to thank the passing year for all the good things it brought you.

If you have things in your home that are quite worn out, be sure to get rid of them. You should never keep junk, either in your home or in your heart.

But if with matters of the heart everything is much more complicated, then with worn things it is much simpler. Clothes, wallets, notebooks and other items whose “expiration date” has long expired should be thrown out of the house on New Year’s Eve. There is no need to try to give these things to someone, so as not to completely get rid of them.


The secret to accepting the new is precisely the need to get rid of the old. This applies not only to material things, but also to social contacts.

If you have not been happy in your marriage for a long time, are constantly faced with betrayal by friends, conflicts with your bosses, and so on, there is a serious way to think about removing these people from your life. Even if it will be difficult, but soon you will meet another spouse, other friends and change jobs.

The New Year should be welcomed only in a state of psychological freedom and expectation of change.

Questions to ask yourself as you see off the Old Year

Let everyone who has gathered with loved ones at the New Year's table ask themselves questions that will help clarify their thoughts about future expectations:

  1. What joyful events can you thank the passing year for?
  2. What sad thing happened?
  3. Which people caused offense?
  4. What memories will remain the most vivid?
  5. What were your most memorable experiences?
  6. What achievements can you be proud of?
  7. What have you achieved in a year?
  8. What have you learned during this time?
  9. What would you like to get rid of?
  10. What do you expect from the New Year?

An hour before the chimes, go outside, set fire to a leaf and let it fly in the wind, watching how the wind carries away your problems.

Customs of the Old Year

The very first question that almost any person asks himself is - what time do they say goodbye to the Old Year? Every family has its own customs and traditions. Some people sit down at the table an hour before the New Year, others 15 minutes before.

In our area, in order for the New Year to be happy, people have come up with many rituals and ceremonies.


Here are the most interesting of them:

  • You should never ring in the New Year in debt. Otherwise, you will owe someone the entire next year. Financial bondage is very unpleasant in itself, therefore, think in advance about whether you owe money to someone.
  • The festive table should, as people say, be bursting with various dishes. There is no need to skimp on such a holiday. Perhaps, sometimes you can treat yourself and your family to your favorite dishes.
  • Universal power will favor only those who have let go of past adversities. There is no need to accumulate sadness and resentment in your soul. Treat problems more lightly, then you will be able to solve them with ease.
  • It is generally accepted that if you receive news on the eve of a holiday, it will certainly bring good luck.
  • If you were in a quarrel with a loved one, then, after the chimes, you need to kiss him as hard as possible. You need to celebrate the New Year only by letting go of all grievances. After reconciliation, not only will it become easier for you, but also for the person you kissed. Do this even if you were right in the situation.
  • Don't go to bed on New Year's Eve. If you do this, then you can “sleep away” all your luck. This rule especially applies to those who are just building their lives.
  • During gatherings for the Old Year, try not to enter into conflicts with anyone or get into unpleasant situations. Because this can scare away fortune.
  • If during the farewell to the outgoing year you allow yourself to cry, then you will do this regularly next year. Try not to get upset this night.
  • Hard work is also prohibited on this holiday. After all, people have long said that how we celebrate the New Year determines how we spend it.
  • There is a women's ritual to attract good luck in the coming year: before the chimes, you need to throw a scarf over your shoulders, and after the fight, take it off.
  • Since many dreams come true on this festive night, those who want to get rich should put a large bill of money in their pocket at the time of celebration. This will certainly attract financial fortune. Also, after the chiming clock, create noise in the house by ringing change.
  • And finally, don’t forget about three wishes that need to be written on a piece of paper during the chiming clock, burned and the ashes thrown into champagne. You need to drink champagne and then all your wishes will come true.

Toasts to the passing year



Let's raise our glasses to the passing year
For the best in the future and in the present
For what you loved, for what you dreamed of
For happiness that somewhere along the way was delayed

For our problems and our mistakes
For good feelings, beloved smiles,
For the sound of crystal over the snowy plain
For new friends, for love, for hope!

May joy and luck
They knock on every house!
It shouldn't be any other way
In the year we are waiting for.

So that all your plans come true
Dreams came true
May you be lucky in big and small
Let's raise our glasses to the passing year!

May the outgoing new year
He will take all the problems with him!
And the new one will bring us love and joy!
Happy holiday!

Let's raise our glasses so that seeing off the old year will be different from seeing off a train at the station: the departing train takes away friends and loved ones, and the passing year will bring them to us!
Let's drink so that it will always be like this!

A little more and the chimes will strike
We will be told that the old year
Having said goodbye to us, irrevocably
It will quietly become a thing of the past.
But still, he is still with us,
Let's raise a toast to this year!
Achieved a lot with friends
And how much more awaits us!
The year gave sweet moments,
Allowed us to taste good fortune
And epiphanies visited us,
And so many problems solved!
For the old year we raise
Glasses of good wine.
We see him off with honor,
We drink to the dregs for the old year!

Now you know how to spend the Old Year and celebrate the New Year. And remember, New Year's Eve is truly a night of magic. Take full advantage of this!!!

Turning over the next page of their lives, which lasted a whole year, many people think about how they should see off the old year so that the coming year becomes happy and successful for them.


Before the clock strikes 12 times on New Year's Eve, the passing year, along with its problems and troubles, should be completed. To do this, first take care of your home, because it is where we spend most of our lives. Organize a general cleaning with a complete shake-up of all your clothing supplies (including deposits of unnecessary things on the balcony). You can try to sell something that is in good condition, but has not been used for its intended purpose for at least the last 3-4 years (through friends, a free bulletin board, etc.). Some things (especially clothes for children) are better donated to needy or large families. Just throw away junk that you will never use.

After you have freed part of your home space from unnecessary things, you can safely rearrange your apartment or room. It is especially useful to move furniture if the past year has not been very successful for you. At the same time, you can use the advice of Feng Shui - this will help restore the internal energy of the house and, of course, look at the space around you a little differently. The main thing is to start studying Feng Shui on your own (from books or DVDs) to understand its basics, and not just follow the instructions of consultants (even very good ones).

The New Year is a kind of milestone, at the crossing of which a new life begins.

On New Year's Eve, families do general cleaning, and some throw out old things. In this case, a simple tidy turns into a kind of sacrament, because many people believe in omens.

How to spend the Old Year correctly to improve life in the new one?

What is the importance of seeing off the Old Year?

The main and main reason is a psychological problem. The appearance of something new in the life of every person is a stressful situation. Seeing off the outgoing year with your family allows you to make a smooth transition from the old to the new without worries or strong feelings.

Every person is afraid of changes in life. The New Year is an unusual, mysterious time, full of miracles and fears, and seeing off the old year is help, a way out of stress and psychological preparation for important changes that you will have to face in life.

December 31 - we say goodbye to the outgoing year in gratitude for everything it has brought. After all, this is an important aspect when meeting and preparing for life in the New. There is a belief that if you do not see off the outgoing year, then the acquired problems and failures will haunt you for a long time.


Customs and rituals

There is no direct answer to the question of what time the Old Year is celebrated. All families have their own traditions and rules. Some people prefer to gather at the festive table 2 hours before the start of the celebration, while others prefer to gather a quarter of an hour before.

For good luck in the New Year, people since ancient times have observed and performed certain rituals that help them believe in the beginning of a new and happy life. Let's look at some of them:
