Faith of the Slavs and amulets for good luck. Old Slavic amulets and the interpretation of their meanings. General information about Slavic amulets

The Slavs had amulets, but not like now, which are brought by ignoramuses like Khinevich. 90% of the charms on the market are not charms. Title and description are invented for sale. There are also invented designs. All this is speculation i just feel sorry for people who spend their hard-earned money and believe this without a conscientious huckster.

If you need amulets, then you have to do it yourself, and not someone will do it for you. And even now, amulets are placed in whoever, and this is just decoration, rattles - if at least you hang everything on yourself it will not be better.

There were amulets only for clothes which some of them were applied at the bottom and others at the top. There were also amulets only for wood, for utensils, for the house, etc., but not like now. Now what the hell, and a bow on the side. The names of the amulets were - spider, nauza, earth, bunny, rooster, serpentine, swan, etc. For traders, such names do not catch than any names of amulets, for example: amulets of different Gods (Mary, Veles ...), Valkyrie, the seal of Veles recently appeared, diy, dy , ladinets, etc.

She gave birth to many sons of monsters and it was predicted that they would bring misfortune to the Gods, especially the giant wolf Fenrir and the monster serpent Jormungand. The gods intended to prevent events. They threw the serpent into the deep sea that surrounded the land, and decided that they were safe. But nobody can escape from fate - not even the Gods. Jormungand soon grew so big that he girded the earth and began to shake the whole world, biting his tail. And then, as predicted, came the day of the end of the world, the death of the Gods. Jormungand made his way to dry land, spewing out so much poison in a gigantic anger that he fed it both air and water. The main protector of Midgard and Asgard (the World of the Gods) - the god of thunder and storm Thor managed to defeat Jormungand in a fierce battle, but he himself, having managed to move only nine steps away, fell dead, poisoned by the poison of a giant snake.

On the established days, they perform cleansing rituals in their homes, and when the snakes crawl out to the food supplied, the whole family fearfully worship them until they, having had their fill, return to their place. Others call them Jastzuka, while others call them Szmya.

Of course, not all copies are presented, but even from these copies we can say that the current market of amulets is 90% falsification.

Ancient mythology, a special topic in the world of practical magic. In the old days, Slavic amulets were widely used in everyday life by our ancestors. In those distant times, people believed that they could not do without the help of higher beings and the forces of nature. After all, each amulet is clocked as a symbol, sign, of the mythical Slavic Deity. It is worth recalling that before the arrival of Christianity on the territory of the Slavic land, the ancestors worshiped not one specific deity, but the whole Divine Pantheon. The Slavic Pantheon is numerous, and it is problematic to tell about all its branches. Therefore, let's talk about those Gods of Slavic mythology, which are mentioned more often, are directly involved in the life and fate of people, and whose symbolism is used by magicians for certain rituals. The meaning of each symbol is especially important if a person wants to devote himself to the gods of antiquity.

Each amulet is clocked as a symbol, sign, of the mythical Slavic Deity

Genus

Rod - the Founder, in Slavic mythology, the Dominating Spirit, the creator of everything on earth, the progenitor and head of the Pantheon. This is the Forefather of the Gods and their strength directly depends on the closeness of kinship with Him. In a nutshell, we can say that humanity, Deities and Power depend on the will of the Family. In Slavic mythology, this is not only the most powerful, but also the kindest deity. It is to Rod that all the main good deeds are attributed:

• Creation of the Pantheon of Gods;
• Creation of all things;
• Gift to the people of the Earth;
• Gift to the people of Heaven;
• Creation of Heavenly Luminaries;
• Introducing the soul;
• Immortality of the human soul;
• The possibility of a person's transformation into another hypostasis (from a person to an animal, from an animal to a tree, a plant, from a plant to the power of nature, from nature back to a person).

It should be especially pointed out that all deities of the Slavic Pantheon, all mythical incarnations all Forces of nature directly depend on the Will of the Family. That is, not to help, not to harm, people, animals, earth and nature, deities cannot, if there is no will of the Family.

The symbol or sign of the Supreme Deity of the Clan is a four-pointed star, the rays of which are bent in the direction against the movement of the sun. At the ends of the rays, circles are fixed, embodying a closed movement, an endless and constant rebirth (the very change of incarnations of the human soul into various hypostases).

Almost everyone adorns the family symbolism. After all, this is the personification of the Beginning of Beginnings. His talismans are used in the rituals of calling the harvest year, these signs adorn the clothes of men, women and children. Amulets amulets with the sign of the Family are still widely used now as just decorations and as especially effective amulets. Such an amulet strengthens and enhances at times the effect of amulets and talismans with symbols of other gods of the Slavic Pantheon. Most often, talismans with the sign of the Family were made from silver, less often from gold, this Deity is not distinguished by vanity. You can wear the signs of the Family, both under clothes and as an external decoration.

Almost everyone adorns the symbols of the Family

Svarog

Svarog belongs to the category of the Supreme Divine Spirits, and is a direct descendant of the Clan. But, despite this it, the symbolism of the cross with forked rays was never used by the Slavs as a single amulet. The thing is that our ancestors feared his Power, but even more, his anger, and tried not to bother the Divine with their presence. Svarog is the patron saint of weapons, war, and warriors. But, this deity also protects blacksmithing. Our ancestors believed that the forge is the temple of Svarog, the anvil and the blacksmith's hammer are its symbols. But it is worth remembering that Amulets with the symbols of Svarog were not made from metal, because the power contained in the hardest material threatened with dire consequences. Most often, the warrior's underwear was decorated with his signs, sometimes symbols were carved on wooden handles. Mothers were credited with carving amulets with the symbol of Svarog with their own hands and putting on these talismans to husbands and sons before going to battle or war. The walls of the forge were decorated with such drawings, and they were applied to all the tools of blacksmithing. Even on the doors of the smithy, the symbol of the god Svarog was applied as a sign. The Slavs honor this Deity on the night of December 13-14. In his honor, furnaces burn in all forges, and blacksmiths present their best products to him. Recently, there is an opinion that the symbolism was nevertheless embodied in iron, but amulets were made strictly from silver, and they were worn hiding from prying eyes.

Svarog patron of weapons, war, and warriors

Perun

God Perun is also the Supreme God and a direct descendant of the Clan. Thunder, Lightning and War are in his power. Slavic mythology says that Perun possessed super strength, unprecedented power, but at the same time kindness and responsiveness. In honor of Perun, they set fire to the eternal fire on the temples and brought him generous gifts. Some sources point to the fact that the gifts of Perun were captured warriors, who were burned alive at the stake. But there is no evidence of this, this deity was not distinguished by bloodthirstiness, his business included the patronage of the soldiers, their protection and support.

It is worth noting that there are several symbols in the signs of this God, and each of them is enclosed in a multi-final star. The most powerful amulet for a warrior was considered the symbol Sword Perun, Hammer Perun, and Sekira Perun, made of pure silver. Today it is extremely rare to find such amulets on free sale, since its symbolism is primarily the meaning of war, albeit a victorious one. Amulets of Perun are made of all types of metal, including pendant amulets made of silver, cut out of wood as jewelry on the neck and embroidered on outerwear. The value of such amulets and their function in protecting a warrior from accidental injury. Wives were credited with making ornaments and embroidery on the clothes of men and sons before the war. It was believed that when working, women had to sing songs of praise to Perun and moisten the fabric with their pure tears, making an impenetrable spiritual protection for husbands and sons from simple matter. The meaning of this is in the power of love and a request for mercy.

The holiday of Perun is celebrated on July 20, from the first rays of daylight, and until midnight, people glorify this deity, drink wine from glasses with silver in his honor. Songs are sung in his honor, bonfires are lit and demonstration battles are held with the obligatory honor of the winner. In some areas, the winner was given a lot of gold and silver, and was given the opportunity to choose a virgin from the village and make her his wife. But, these references do not have actual confirmation, since in those days women were honored and respected and the encroachment on their freedom was harshly suppressed. Descriptions of ritual battles have been preserved in ancient manuscripts.

Veles

God Veles is a mysterious and unique deity in the Slavic Pantheon.

1. First, Veles is the patron saint of people and their well-being. He sustains life and helps people in their sorrows and difficult situations.
2. Second, Veles is honored as the patron saint of cattle and the animal world.
3. Third, this deity is called the patron saint of poets and songwriters.
4. Fourth, and surprising in its history is the fact that He is the patron saint of the living world, a faithful spouse to the goddess Makosh, who in Slavic mythology is the Goddess of Peace, Family, the patroness of women and women's craft.

It is worth mentioning that during the conversion to Christianity, this god Veles acquired several guises. So some of his features were put on St. Blasius, the patron saint of cattle breeding, some passed to Nicholas the Wonderworker and St. George. And Veles himself was transformed into Volosyanik and attributed to the demonic tribe.

But, nevertheless, admirers of pagan mythology and the Slavic Pantheon honor Veles from January 1 to 6, during the New Year and Christmas celebrations. The Veles amulet is an inverted letter "A" enclosed in a ring of flame. The value of a talisman of this kind is in enhancing wisdom and in increasing wealth. They wear an amulet over their clothes, thereby paying tribute to the power of Veles and asking for his protection. In ancient times, such talismans were made from wood, gold and silver. The value of the talisman is that Veles gives his servants wisdom, fortitude and determination in making difficult life decisions. In his honor, you need to burn fires and sing songs glorifying the land, cattle, and labor. Descriptions of rituals dedicated to the worship of this deity are practically not found.

Yarilo

Yarilo is a pagan god of fertility, wheat and agriculture. In Slavic mythology, this deity occupied an honorable place, he was worshiped, feared, and they tried to please him. It was believed that the crop failure is nothing more than a consequence of Yarilo's anger at people. At the same time, he was empowered to awaken in all living things carnal love and desire. He was considered the source of the white Light of the Rod. Yarilo is a symbol of the Sun, the meaning of its warmth for good fertility of livestock, rich harvest, and satiety.

Until now, in some regions of the Slavic countries, Yarilo is honored as a holder of people, a breadwinner and a kind owner. Yarilo's symbol is a shield made of silver, in mythology the shield is the sign of the Sun, and therefore in ancient records one can find the definition of the Sun as Yarilo's walk through the heavenly field. Yarilo's signs and symbols are displayed in wood, metal, embroidered, painted on fabric, and depicted with tattoos on the body. If the symbol is an ornament, then it is worn over clothing, if embroidery, then it is done on the upper shirt in the neck area or on the chest. Yarilo is worshiped from March 21 to March 22, that is, on the eve of the spring solstice. In the part of Yarilo, cattle are slaughtered, bread is baked, and silverware is presented to loved ones.

Yarilo's symbol is a shield with silver, in mythology the shield is the sign of the Sun

Makosh

The goddess Makosh, or as she is also called Makosho, Makosha, Makoshnaya, the records of her ancestors proclaim her a kind and sympathetic goddess of the Pantheon. This is a deity, a faithful wife to her husband Veles, and the patroness of women's crafts. The goddess makosh is credited with the patronage of spinning, agriculture, raising children, and family health. They pray to her for the health of blood relatives and husbands.

This deity is the most accessible in the Slavic Pantheon, there is no anger and strength in her, she tries to protect people in front of other gods. This is the first companion of the goddess Lada, the patroness of women in labor and female intuition. In some sources, the name Makosh is translated from Old Church Slavonic as "Mother" and "Lot", that is, "Mother of Destiny." This goddess exists and rules with the support of her two assistants Srecha and Nesrechi (Share and NeSrechi). Some sources give a strange meaning of this deity, this goddess weaves the threads of human destinies, and her fingers are punctured and wounded, as she with her bare hands, in order to save people, picks splinters (sins) from their Life thread, unravels the knots.

The symbols of this deity are the sown field and the figure of the spinner, made of silver. In the images, she is presented as a woman with a spinning needle in her hands, and in symbols as a complex figure that combines four regular squares located between the rays of an equilateral cross. Mokos amulets are made from all types of metal, more often from pure silver, and are also carved from wood, drawn, embroidered on fabric. Symbolism embodied in jewelry is worn under clothes. Images of Mokos can be found as:

• home paintings;
• embroidery on pillows;
• blankets;
• curtains;
• napkins and so on.

This Goddess is worshiped in the daytime on October 26. But, according to ancient beliefs, Makosh, given to the Slavs, is considered another day on May 10, Earth Day, the Holiday of Great Fertility. According to the sources, the description of the celebration boils down to chants and festivities.

Goddess Makosh. Symbol of the Slavic Gods

Lada

The goddess Lada is one of the most important in the Pagan Slavic Pantheon. The goddess Lada is credited with special feminine traits - beauty, love, sexuality, the ability to give birth to healthy sons and beautiful daughters. This is the goddess of Passion, the patroness of Love and carnal relations, a frivolous and at the same time proud and unapproachable goddess in the entire Slavic Pantheon. Lada is the eldest among the goddesses of Slavic mythology, she is the beloved daughter of the Family. In some sources, this deity is indicated as the only female hypostasis of the Rod itself. But, initially, she is a Daughter. Lada is often portrayed as a White Swan, but here everything is relative. In the spring, this is a girl with bright red hair and sunny freckles on her cheeks, who wears a wreath on her head from the first field grasses and young leaves; in the summer, this is a young girl with golden hair and in a wreath of grown wheat, green branches with fruit sets and sparkles of morning dew ... Since autumn, Lada has been presented as a woman of incredible beauty, with long hair of a light shade scattered down her back and falling to the ground, she wears a wreath with poured ears on her head, and branches of fruit trees. In winter, Lada is a stately blonde beauty, dressed in snow-white fox fur. The goddess holds in her hands a wooden sieve, from which snowflakes fly to the ground, and her kiss makes the trees dress in snow-white outfits with frost and snow.

Lada patronizes women in childbirth and women needlewomen, strengthens family ties and teaches women obedience while preserving wisdom and their pride. The symbolism of Lada is the Ladinets amulet, a many-pointed star, whose rays are directed against the movement of the sun. Symbols are carved from wood, smelted in metal, embroidered on women's clothing, painted on the body, used as a talisman amulet. They are worn on bracelets on the wrist, or as a pendant on a chain.

Lada is honored on March 30 from the first moments until midnight. This is a women's holiday, on this day women can declare their love for a man, accept marriage proposals, conceive and baptize children. You cannot destroy families, commit adultery and sin against your female nature. The value of Lada in Slavic history and mythology is described in many sources of ancient teachings about the power of nature.

Lada patronizes women in childbirth and women needlewomen

Alive

Alive, originally represented in the Slavic Pantheon, as the patron goddess of women in labor, the daughter of Lada and her right hand. She is a sister to Lada's other daughters - Leli, Lyali, and Morana. Despite the fact that this deity carries the beginning of life, the birth of the soul, her son is one of the most cruel gods Peklenets - the master of the underworld, in the present religion the Devil himself. Alive, embodies spring, love, youth, beauty, prosperity of the world, and the dawn of nature. In ancient times, Zhiva was endowed with the image of a cuckoo, and it was believed that if the Cuckoo forges, it is Zhiva that appeared from Iria (pagan Paradise) to count the dead and those born.

Alive, in essence, is Morana's own sister to the goddess of Death, but she wages an eternal irreconcilable war with her for each person and for the earth as a whole.

In human form, the Goddess lives a beautiful woman, who has moisture in one hand, the source of life is water, and in the other grain, bread, the main food of mankind.

Description of the amulet and symbolism of the goddess Alive is a complex letter "Ж", an interweaving of flowers and waves. Often the butterfly becomes the symbol of Alive, as a repetition of the features of the image of the amulet. It does not matter what kind of material is used and how the symbol is applied, the main repetition of the "Butterflies" lines. You need to wear the amulet constantly, but it is better to hide it under clothes from prying eyes.

Alive, personifies spring, love, youth, beauty

Moraine

The goddess Morena from Slavic mythology is represented in many names:

• Moran;
• Mora;
• Moraine;
• Morgen;
• Morochka;
• Omoroka;
• Dark Mother of God.

Morena is a cruel and unforgiving goddess. She feeds on human disease, pain, fear and death. This deity in the Pantheon is represented as a punishing Spirit. But, the sources point to the fact that before wars and battles, Morena was glorified, asking for deliverance. And this is true, because in the event of severe wounds, the soldiers in their sufferings cried out to Death as a deliverer from pain. Morene prayed for the terrible incurable diseases of old age, calling for deliverance from suffering. The Slavs have a twofold attitude to this deity, on the one hand, it is the destroyer of the human race, but on the other hand, it is the deliverer from suffering. Morena was respected and feared, and her symbols were applied to the clothes and bed linen of the terminally ill in order to attract the attention of death and end the suffering of a person.

Morena's symbolism is a cross with rays out of tune at the ends. There is a belief that a mortally wounded warrior, in order to summon the goddess of Death to himself, should have painted the symbol of Morena on his clothes with his blood and called upon the deity by prayer for his own completion of the earthly path. The Goddess of Death did not refuse the suffering and generously gave her mercy of death to everyone.

This goddess is honored on March 1, starting from the evening dawn and ending with the first rays of dawn on March 2. It is worth mentioning that they do not arrange celebrations on this day, but on the contrary, this is the Night of Sorrow, a time to mourn the fallen soldiers and deceased relatives.

Morena is a cruel and unforgiving goddess

Peklenec

God Peklenets in the Slavic Pantheon is the son of Alive, and the faithful nephew of Morena. This is one of the most mysterious figures in Slavic mythology. They portrayed the deity in the form of a flame, he fed on human sins, welcomed murder, violence and theft. But this deity is later presented in Christianity as the Devil himself was considered the most generous among the gods. In ancient times, the elders and landowners were accused of detachment from the Family and the higher Gods and were suspected of being connected with Peklenz. As mythology said, this deity is two-faced and vile. Giving people wealth and glory during their lifetime, in Hell he thrust fiery fingers into them again and again, dooming souls to eternal suffering.

There is little information about this deity in history. The symbolism of this god is covered with darkness, since his signs could not serve as either a talisman or an amulet. There is evidence that his symbol is a knife and a spear on fire, but this is not proven by facts. Followers of Demonic Magic honor this deity on the night of August 12-13. Newborn kids are sacrificed to him, and their blood is drunk. All rituals are carried out immediately after the entry into force on the 13th.

The symbols and signs of the gods of the Slavic Pantheon carry a strong energy, and therefore, before choosing for yourself a talisman with this or that image, one or another form is worth asking what this symbol means in reality. Better Slavic amulets, amulets are the symbolism of Rod, Yarilo, Veles, Zhiva, Svarog, Perun or Lada. Their intercession will help to overcome the hardships of life and cope with the complexities of human existence.

Slavic amulets and their meaning is a separate topic for the study of historians. They can tell us a lot. Amulets are part of the cultural heritage of our ancestors. By them you can judge the wisdom and religion of this great people. Most amulets have solar symbols, which speaks of the worship of the Slavs to the Sun. They were used for personal protection and to protect loved ones from natural phenomena, evil, damage or the evil eye.

Amulets were selected individually. If, for example, in Christianity, adults and children wear a cross for protection, then in paganism it was possible to choose an amulet that is close in energy and meaning. Then he became not just an accessory for beauty, but a really strong amulet.

Despite the fact that we live in the 21st century, Slavic amulets are still popular. They are worn by people of different ages and professions. When choosing Slavic amulets, you need to know their meaning, description and interpretation. If you do not pay due attention to the choice of an amulet, then it may not fit energetically and will not provide adequate protection.

The amulets of the ancient Slavs contain not only solar symbols denoting sun worship. Some of them (Kolovrat, Ladinets, Solstice) are a swastika. Our galaxy, called the Milky Way, has the same shape, and that's not all. Human DNA also resembles a swastika. This may mean that the Slavs had deeper knowledge than is known about it.
