Guessing on a plate is dangerous fun or a way to know the future?

Guessing on a plate is perhaps one of the most unusual ways to look into your future. After all, it is believed that in this case, the souls of ancestors help a person. Today we will not talk about the laws of physics or recall the phenomenon of biolocation. Leave the logic and pay tribute to the supernatural.
As you know, the best time for fortune telling is the days from Christmas to Epiphany. According to ancient Slavic traditions, the spirits of ancestors at this time visit the earth and anyone can enter into contact with them. The known divination on the plate is essentially a kind of spiritualistic session.
By the way, the Orthodox Church any guessing considers a great sin, and it is forbidden to disturb the souls of the dead even at Christmas-days.

Christmas fortune-telling on a plate is mentioned in some literary works, besides, there are many descriptions of the process on the Internet today. Do not be surprised, any divination is undergoing changes with time, and each locality has its own traditions.

Now a little about how the guessing looks on the plate. For the ritual, you need a small dish, porcelain, a sheet of white paper, a pencil, a candle and a company of several people (ideally an odd number). One of the guessers fills out the sheet field as follows. In the middle there is a circle, with a diameter slightly larger than the plate. All the letters of the alphabet are prescribed along the circumference, then the numbers from zero to nine. Diagonally, the pair answers "Yes" and "No", "Hello" and "Farewell". Those who want to tickle the nerves seriously can depict the moon and the cemetery cross in the diagonal.

In order to get the answer you need, draw a pointing arrow on the surface of the plate. It is best to apply it with candle soot. The plate itself must also be held above the flame. After this, you can proceed to call the spirit. The whole company is invited to sit around the table, put the tips of your fingers on the plate. You can invite any spirit to the conversation. Do you want to talk with your great-grandmother or are you more interested in Napoleon? Invite anyone, just do not forget about elementary courtesy. Say hello, say goodbye, say please and thank you for communicating with representatives of the other world necessarily. Of course, guessing with the help of a plate has its own explanation, but we decided not to resort to scientific interpretations for today. Moreover, the esoteric component in this matter also has a full right to exist.

I must say that divination with an arrow on a plate was a popular entertainment for bored noblemen. The summoning of spirits, the tabulation, the fortune-telling on the saucer ... Those who have studied the matter in more depth know that all these esoteric practices are essentially identical.

Throughout the middle of the nineteenth century, spiritualism spread everywhere. Particularly imbued with the idea of communicating with the other world, they merged into societies and even had their own printed publications. I must say that the fascination with esotericism embraced not only the people of superstitious, but also quite educated representatives of society: politicians, writers and even scientists. Even Arthur Conan Doyle could not pass by this burning topic. And this is not surprising, because if the call of the spirit is a real practice, then this is a direct proof that life after death exists.

It is believed that guessing on a plate is one of the most dangerous. Say, not all the entities of the other world are attuned to us, alive, peaceful. And if the spirit does not want to leave the premises, you run the risk of becoming the "absolute owner" of the newly-born poltergeist. Besides, besides hooligan actions, called to answer the question of essence, can cause a person more serious damage, even death.

Therefore, before asking the spirits about your future, think carefully about whether your curiosity is worthy of such victims.
