New Year's Eve

New Year’s Eve is one of the most magical nights of the year, when we hope that many of our desires will be fulfilled and our luck will be better with the begining of the New Year. So we transmit all kind of rituals from generation to generation that we insist on doing, however strange it may seem, since it is always funny to do them, even more when the group of the people is large.

There are so many rituals that circulate throughout the world that I think it is best to organize them to know what we have to do before midnight, just at midnight, and immediately thereafter:

To receive the New Year:

1.- Clean your house: this ritual brings new and positive energy.

Clean thoroughly your house, through out everything old and deteriorated, so that at the stroke of 12 midnight your home receives in good condition the New Year, reflecting how your new year will be.

2.- Lemons: eliminate the envy and bad energies.
In the corners of your home place lemons cut in four parts overnight, and those will remove negative energies and the envy and will bring harmony.

3.- Bath: it purifies the soul and attracts positive energy.

Get ready to welcome the new year with a bath with essences: roses attract love, cinnamon attracts passion, tangerine attracts prosperity and money, chamomile brings soul healthy, sea salt gets away envy and sandalwood gets away the negative energy.

4.- Underwear: attracts love, luck and clothing.

If you want to attract love you should wear red underwear, and if you want luck it will be yellow. Note that you can not buy that underwear for you, you must receive it as a gift and you should wear it for the first time.

If you want not to lack clothes for the new year, you should wear it inside-out.

5.- Candles: attract different desires, depending on the color:

Before midnight light candles of different colors to welcome the New Year with them on. Each color brings a different desire:

Red: attracts love and passion;

Yellow and gold: attract money and abundance;

Green: attracts health;

White: attracts peace and harmony;

Orange: attracts energy and career success.

6.- Lights: attract clarity and eliminate the dark energies.

Receive the midnight with all the lights of your house on, those will remove the dark energies and lies from the New Year.

7.- Sheep: attracts wealth and abundance.

Before midnight give a small wook sheep to your guests and it will provide them good luck and fortune. It is best to leave it hanging from the doorknob throughout the year, especially since 2015 is the Chinese Year of the Sheep.

8.- Tickets: attract economic prosperity.

It is recommended you have money in your wallet, pocket and shoes, to start the New Year with money. Tradition says that it is better to have bills than coins.

At midnight:

9.- Twelve  grapes: attract your desires, luck and prosperity.

During the last seconds of the year you must eat a grape at each stroke, one for each month of the year, while you make a wish for each grape. And if you are able to eat the 12 grapes your will have a prosperous year.

10.- Windows: eliminate negative energy and bad luck.

Receive the New Year with open windows, that lets out the bad luck and enter the positive energy.

11.- Water: gets away tears.

At the stroke of midnight throw a glass of water to the streets to ward off sadness and tears.

12.- Right foot: attracts luck.

Start the New Year stepping with the right foot just after the midnight, to begin "a good start" year.

13.- Broom: clears out the negative energy.

At midnight sweep your house from indoors to outdoors, and that will eliminate negative energy and jealousy.

After midnight:

14.- The first toast of the year: attracts luck and happiness.

To attract luck and money for the New Year you should toast with all attendees with a gold ring in the glass.

If the wine is sparkling, bubbles will attract happiness, and if the ring is a wedding ring it will bring stability to the couple.

Do not take out the gold ring before drinking it completely and before hugging all your guests right after.

15.- Luggage: Brings travels in the New Year.

If you want to travel more, after midnight, you should go out with a suitcase (no matter if empty) and walk around the block. The farther you get farther your trips will be. If you can not go outside, take out your suitcase outdoors.

  

16.- Lentils: Attract food and luck.

Immediately after the first toast of the year, eat at least a spoonful of lentils. You will not lack food or good luck.

17.- Coins: attract economic prosperity.

Keep 12 coins in your pocket and toss them after midnight to bring good fortune for the coming year.

We wish you a Happy New Year and may all your wishes come true!!
