Signs of ancient Rus' and their meaning. Slavic amulets

Slavic symbols are patterns of traditional embroidery and home decoration, as well as items associated with Slavic Gods. Slavic symbols are worth knowing to choose the right amulet. Understanding the symbolism of magical objects helps to understand Slavic mythology, into customs and signs.

Why you need to know Slavic symbols

Slavic symbolism is surprisingly rich. Look at the embroidery that adorns traditional clothing. Everything in it is not accidental, every turn of the pattern, every sign inscribed in the overall embroidery pattern - everything has its own meaning. However, for the uninitiated person, embroidery remains simply an outdated way to decorate an outfit; the secret of Slavic symbols remains hidden.

Slavic symbolism is worth studying for this reason:

• for understanding Slavic myths and legends, their visual perception.
• to understand the worldview of our ancestors.
• to be able to read Slavic symbols on clothing, household items, home decorations, and determine the purpose of ritual objects.
• to be able to choose a talisman for yourself and your loved ones.

Sources of knowledge about Slavic symbolism

Disputes arise about the origins of Slavic symbols. Some sources attribute ancient roots to our patterns and see in them complex patterns that describe the structure of the world. Others, on the contrary, are distrustful of Slavic symbols, even such famous ones as Kolovrat or the Star of Rus', calling them a remake.

Where is the truth? Just look at the ancient outfits preserved in northern houses self made, richly decorated with Slavic symbols to ensure that it originated many centuries ago. However, grandparents, who still know how to embroider and cut out traditional patterns, do not at all connect their meaning with the cosmos, with complex calculations, and do not explain the origin of the patterns with intricate theories.

We consider as true all the Slavic symbols that we find in the decoration of houses, folk embroidery, and amulets found in excavations of ancient cities. And we are looking for a simple explanation, close to nature, connected with our myths. But simple does not mean primitive. It is in the simplicity of the Slavic pattern, in the ability to explain even to a small child the meaning of traditional patterns, that there is deep wisdom.

What Slavic symbols do we know?

We can divide Slavic symbols into groups in different ways. For example, in relation to the Slavic Gods. Then Gromovik, also known as the Thunder Cross, and a forged hatchet will be nearby. Both signs refer to the Slavic Thunder God Perun.

We can separate the signs according to their execution. Then we will highlight the Slavic symbols that are depicted on amulets, embroidered on clothes, carved into the decoration of Slavic huts, and sign-objects. For example, the sign of Svarog will be both the Star of Rus' with sharp tips and the hammer, a symbol of God the Blacksmith.

Some Gods have Slavic symbols associated with images of animals. Most of these signs are attributed to God Veles. Among his symbols we find the seal of Veles in the shape of a bear’s paw and a wolf. Even the sign of Veles itself, in the shape of an inverted letter “A”, is otherwise called “bull’s head”.

The most universal is the division of signs by their shape.

When to embroider: 10th, 14th lunar day.

At all times, the Slavs tried to protect themselves and their loved ones from evil, problems, slander, illness and mental anxiety with the help of amulets. If we touch on history, the ancient Slavs worshiped the cult of the Sun, so Slavic amulets always had solar signs, the main task of which was to protect the person wearing them.

You should not think that any amulet can protect a person, because there are no universal options, as, for example, in Christianity. In order for the amulet to serve as reliable protection, it must be chosen correctly. One of the striking examples of Slavic amulets (individual) can be considered the sun sign of the Valkyrie, which was worn only by Slavic women who cared about the protection of their clan and family. The amulets of the Slavs have long been intended to create a kind of protective screen for a person, home, family from all kinds of troubles, diseases and troubles.

Each Slavic amulet is individual, so it is important to select it not only for its beauty, but also for its meaning. Choosing a talisman is a complex process, requiring not only the determination of beauty criteria, but also basic knowledge regarding a particular type, which will become a real assistant, and not just another fashion accessory.

Each culture is characterized not only by its own epic and traditions, but also by its own system of esoteric images, in which, based on the most elementary geometric shapes the foundations of the life and worldview of representatives of a particular nationality are laid. We can safely say that symbolism and emblems are an essential component of all religious faiths, communities and cultures.

Our Slavic ancestors had sufficient knowledge to create their own

model of the structure of the surrounding world. The brightest

DNA has the same shape. If we turn to the Sumerian epic “Enuma Elish”, then it clearly shows the connection between the Vedas Ancient India, the basis of which can safely be considered Slavic legends. This epic describes in sufficient detail the processes of the emergence of the solar system. Don't forget about
Mahabharata, which is written based on the Perun Vedas. The history of the Slavs is full of secrets and mysteries, and anyone who wants to comprehend them should not just look at pictures of Perun or Dazhbog, but actually study the records and evidence in the epics of various countries that have survived to our times. Unfortunately, some people, having seen and bought Slavic amulets, consider themselves descendants of the great Aryans, but this is not entirely true, because for them they are nothing more than a trinket, and have nothing to do with Slavic history such people do not have.

These are not all examples of the fact that the ancient Slavs had knowledge that modern humanity does not yet have. To maximize the preservation of knowledge acquired over centuries, symbols were used - simple images that are much more understandable knowledgeable person than numerous library volumes. By the way, paper storage media can easily be destroyed (just remember the Library of Alexandria), and a symbol placed on a talisman or just a stone will not be distorted by a certain vision and will retain its original meaning. Every descendant of the Slavs is simply obliged to know and understand the meaning of the foundations of ancient Slavic mythology, runes and amulets, because this is our history, no matter how hard they try to hide it behind Christian canons, it will remain real history.

How to choose the right Slavic amulet

Slavic amulets and their meanings are a whole section of history, despite all simplicity and clarity at first glance. Anyone who decides to buy a Slavic amulet should know that it is beneficial only if it is charged on time and according to all the rules. In ancient times, this mission was undertaken by magicians who specialized in concentrating energy in a talisman. Today it is almost impossible to meet them, but this is no reason to be upset - the amulet can be charged on its own if you perform a simple set of actions. You should not think that the process of charging the amulet resembles some kind of satanic actions with obligatory sacrifices; in most cases, the forces of nature are used, unity with which for the Slavs has always been the most important magical ritual. In order for Slavic amulets to work to protect their owner, it is important to choose them correctly. Below are basic tips regarding the selection and use of Slavic symbols in Everyday life:

1. ➡ It is necessary to choose a talisman rationally. It’s not enough to just read about the amulet and its possible protection. It is worth spending more than one hour to thoroughly study each amulet, its properties, purpose, wearing rules and many other important points. It is important to initially decide on the properties that the amulet should have. An important point is the metal from which it will be made - the most common is silver, as it combines the unique properties of purification, ionization, oxidation resistance and low cost, which is affordable for many
2. ➡ If you are confident in your intuition before purchasing a talisman, then you can try to choose it, relying solely on it. But you should use your intuition only if you have already carefully studied all the properties and effects of Slavic amulets. It is worth remembering that relying “on luck” does not always make sense, since a talisman is not bought to be worn for a couple of days, but for life. If you have any doubts about purchasing this or that amulet, it is better to consult with a specialist who will tell you everything in detail and help you choose the best option. It is important to understand that you should buy Slavic amulets from trusted manufacturers, without relying on merchants in transitions who offer symbols of the ancient Slavs of unknown origin and often with distorted runes and ancient signs;
3. ➡ Slavic symbols on amulets are more than a beautiful and original decoration. This is a personal assistant, so after purchasing the amulet, pay attention to the changes in your life, starting from the moment you wear it constantly. Such actions are necessary in order to understand that the main task of the amulet is to protect you, and if the amulet does not protect its owner, then perhaps you chose it incorrectly or are using it incorrectly. All Slavic amulets protect their owners, but bad thoughts at the stage of charging the amulet or its incorrect use can nullify the positive effect. A talisman is only a symbol of protection; it is an assistant in righteous deeds, but man himself is the architect of his own happiness. Your destiny directly depends on the decisions you make and subsequent actions. If you want the amulet to truly protect you from adversity and disaster, constantly work on yourself, improve yourself, and comprehend the physical and spiritual components of Existence. Only in this way will the amulet become an assistant in achieving the goals you set for yourself.

Men's and women's amulets

All Slavic amulets are divided into two main categories - for men and for women. The basis of any amulet is the symbol depicted on it, associated with certain forces of nature. Despite the fact that belief in higher powers and gods today is not as great as it was before, amulets are closely related to higher powers, constantly affecting humans. That is why it is important not only to choose the right amulet, but also to charge it with pure thoughts, constantly wear it and believe in it. magical power. It just so happened that in the beliefs of the ancient Slavs there was a clear division into male and female patrons, therefore amulets should be chosen in accordance not only with the month of birth, but also with gender. Silver is considered the traditional material for making Slavic amulets, as this metal has unique purification and durability properties.
