Andrzejki: where did this tradition come?

Andrzejki, the night of November 29–30, is a fortune-telling celebration with roots reaching back to pagan times. The evening takes its name from St Andrew, patron saint of marriage and lovers. Fortune-telling was intended to reveal the future, especially regarding marriage and love. In the past, young women mainly sought signs about their future husbands on this night. These predictions were mysterious and mystical, and were often taken very seriously.

One of the oldest traditions is pouring wax through a keyhole. The hardened wax shape was believed to reveal future events or a future partner’s traits. Another ritual involved peeling apples; peel length supposedly indicated lifespan or luck in love. Over time, Andrzejki became more universal, with fortune-telling and games making the evening enjoyable for everyone, regardless of gender or age.

Fortune-telling is a key part of Andrzejki. Try classic ways of predicting the future to add charm to this special celebration. Here are some popular ideas for your Andrzejki party:

• Pouring wax through a key – The best-known ritual involves pouring melted wax through a keyhole into cold water. The hardened shape may symbolise future events or people.
• Fortune-telling with apple peels – Peel an apple so the strip is as long as possible. Throw it over your left shoulder. Its shape on the floor may resemble a letter—the initial of your future love.
• Shoe toss – Participants place their shoes in a line from the wall to the door. The person whose shoe crosses the threshold first will be the first to marry.
• Name cards – Write potential partners’ names on slips, place them under your pillow. Draw one in the morning: your future love’s name.
• Fortune cups – Hide symbols under four cups: a coin (wealth), ring (marriage), rosary (spiritual life) and leaf (change). Choose one cup—the hidden symbol will reveal your future.

When organising your own Andrzejki 2024, add elements of mystery and magic. Fortune-telling brings guests together and creates lots of fun.
