"It's a duck! Duck!" - shouted the gods in unison

"It's a duck! Duck!" - shouted the gods in unison

The first Light Night of Samhain. Today we had a day of fortune-telling))), light night - means that you are cleaned and protected from all the crap, spirits and people do not owe anything, in short, you stepped into a new cycle, so now you have the right to beg for goodies.
Do you remember, yesterday I told you we were pouring candles on paper? Lina got a duck. And Marik got a boot in the shape of Italy. When Sonya saw it, she screamed: "Re-pour it now! I don't want to go to Italy!
Lina said: "That duck bothers me".
Today we had three rituals. Well, cut apples - you make a wish, cut an apple in half, if the seeds are intact, there are no obstacles to fulfillment. Half - to the gods, into the fire, half - under the pillow, and in the morning you eat (well, or if there is any diet or allergies, throw it into the fire too).
The second ritual is to char the fruit skins on the fire and see what you get. Everybody got ducks. Ducks and boots. Boots that look like ducks, ducks that look like ducks. Ducks that didn't look like ducks, but definitely ducks.
Well, of course, I got the personal-sacral answers too. And ducks.
The third ritual was the usual wax fortune-telling - you drop candle wax into a basin of water. This was the most fun, because the gods would shout "it's a duck!", snatch the candle out of our hands and throw it into the water, extinguish it, and repeat in different ways "It's a duck!!!". We'd laugh and tell them we're stupid, we don't know what a duck means.
it's a duck, duck, duck, God, tell them duck. No, I can't look at it...but the sausages* were delicious, they are such hearty people, let's try it again, three-four, it's a duck!!!!
Us: can we have luck and richness, not duck and boots!!!
Gods: Lord Jesus, Great Buddha, I even can't! It's a duck, damn it, duck!!! D.U.C.K!
Then we got to see what it means. Well yes, a duck is that's what we asked for. ^__^

Tomorrow we'll be giving geises tomorrow)))))) we don't have to, but at family council we decided to give them. This is the most dangerous ritual, because it's a vow for a year not to do something, and if you break it, you'll die the next Samhain Night. That's why Samhain night is called the night of the dead.

Pics and videos of fire spirits)) there are salamanders and laughing spirits ^__^
* about sausages. I once got into an argument with runologists who wrote an idiotic post about why the mighty goddess Freya would want to sign up for some human for Thank You, think for yourself, they say. So if you ask the mighty gods to sign up for you, offer them a normal offering - nuts, honey, wine. I couldn't help myself and clarified: so you're saying that a spiritual being, the mighty goddess Freya, won't sign up for spiritual duty, spiritual gratitude, but will sign up for nuts and honey? 0__0
Oh, you would like to see, how they tore their asses because of outrage.
Well, we burned food yesterday, also as an offering, but not for something, but just for the sake of the holiday. Like, so that the spirits would have something to eat.
We tell those hommies who didn't see our bonfires in shape-hearts that it was yesterday.
Sonya said: It means Freya likes sausages, not nuts and honey.
Like, thanks from the bottom of my heart, guys, I'm sick of these with their honey and nuts. Like, Loki, send them away, they're here with honey and nuts again.
