Runes meaning, description and their interpretation are Slavic. Signs of goodness and protection. Slavic runes - meaning, description, interpretation

Below is the meaning, description, and interpretation of Slavic runes.

World

Key words: Belbog; inner self; Tree of the World

The Mir rune is a symbol of Belobog, one of the most complex images in Slavic mythology. In the German Futhark, this rune is called Madr or Mannaz - Man. Also in the Germanic Futhark, this rune means life. In the older Futhark, this rune has a different meaning (Algiz), although in some ways these runes are similar in spirit.

The very form of the Belbog rune is the image of the Tree of the World and the image of a man standing with his hands raised to the Sky.

The Belbog rune symbolizes the inner, divine in nature, human Self; that part of it that stores enduring Knowledge and enduring Life; that which belongs to Heaven.

Also, the second meaning of the word “world” in Slavic languages ​​is community, society, Rod.

In a magical sense, the World rune represents protection and patronage of the light gods.

In the German runic series, the content of the Belbog rune is partly conveyed by the Mannaz and Algiz runes; and the very image of the Slavic White God is a direct parallel to the image of the Scandinavian god Heimdall, whom ancient texts call the White Ace. Like Belbog, Heimdall is a Guardian of Order, whose duty is to guard the boundaries of the gods from the invasions of the Forces of Chaos.

Chernobog

Key words: Shadow; Hassle; Inverted World Tree

Rune of Chernobog - a deity who forms a dual pair with Belbog. If the World rune represents the forces striving for the World to be whole, then the Chernobog rune connects us with the forces leading the World to destruction. It would be absurd to consider Belbog as “good” and Chernobog as “evil”.

The image of Chernobog represents the Jester God and the Clown God, eternally fighting with the Guardian of Order and eternally violating the boundaries determined by the gods of Order. In relation to a person, the Chernobog rune represents the Shadow. Jung very well described the essence of this god: the archetype of the unconscious, which always stands behind our left shoulder and, laughing, leads us to liberation from masks and illusions: “I am the one who always wants evil and always does good” (Goethe)...

The magical content of the rune: destruction of old connections, breakthrough of the magic circle, exit from any closed system.

In the German runic series, the Chernobog rune finds a partial counterpart in the Perth and Hagalaz runes. The Germanic name of Chernobog is Loki. In the Germanic rune, this rune means death.

Alatyr

Keywords: Basics, beginnings; Greatness; World Mountain;

Rune Alatyr - rune of the beginning of the Universe; the rune of the beginning and end of everything. This is what the struggle between Belbog and Chernobog revolves around, the cycle of struggle between the forces of Order and Chaos; this is the law of Balance and returning to normal; this is the stone that lies at the foundation of the World. The eternal circulation of events and their motionless center...

Alatyr, “the father of all stones”, “the navel of the earth” in the Slavic Tradition, stands on Buyan Island. The sources of all rivers and the beginnings of all roads are hidden under Alatyr. Alatyr serves as an altar and throne to the supreme gods, and therefore any throne and any altar in the Middle World is only a reflection of the Alatyr-stone.

The magical altar - the stone on which the sacrifice is made - is a reflection of the World Mountain, or the Alatyr stone. This is the sacred image that is contained in this rune.

Rainbow

Keywords: Road; Joy

As in the Scandinavian Futhark, this is the rune of the Road. This is an endless Path leading to Alatyr; a path determined by the unity and struggle of the forces of Belbog and Chernobog, Fire and Water.

The road in Tradition is more than just movement in space and time. The road is a special state, equally different from vanity and peace; this is a state of movement between Order and Chaos, a state of transition. This Road has neither beginning nor end, but there is a source and there is a result... The ancient formula “do what you must, and come what may” could serve as the “motto” of this rune.

The magical meaning of the rune: stabilization of movement, assistance in travel, favorable outcome of difficult situations.

In the Germanic runic ranks, this rune fully corresponds to the Ride rune, the name of which also means “Road”, “Journey”.

Need

Keywords: Inevitability; Fate.

Rune of Veles in the image of Viy (Niya) - the god of Navi, the Lower World. This is the rune of fate, which cannot be avoided; rune of darkness, death, all-burning underground fire. Rune of constraint, constraint and coercion.

As with everything related to runes, what was said above about the rune of Need can be correlated with any levels of reality. This is a magical prohibition on performing (completion) of this or that action, and constraint in the material plane, and those bonds that fetter a person’s consciousness, closing the true, divine reality of the World from him.

Veles as Viy, the Terrible God, whose gaze burns all living things, is Chernobog, standing across the Road with the darkness of ignorance and emptiness. The fire of Viy, which does not give light, the fire that binds in chains - this is the sacred content of this rune. But let’s not forget that the power of Chernobog is necessary for the Kolovrat of the Road to unfold; then the chains of the dark flame of Viy will appear before us not as an obstacle on the Road, but as a test that promises Initiation...

In the Germanic runic series, this rune corresponds to the Naud rune, whose name also means “Need.”

Steal

Keywords: Fire; Verb; Embodiment; Is it true

The Slavic word "krada" means sacrificial fire. The Krada rune is a rune of fire, akin to the Germanic runes Gebo and Kano, for fire is a gift of the gods and a force that embodies the divine in the Middle World. This is the rune of aspiration and embodiment of aspirations, and therefore the rune of speech, since in the Nordic Tradition speech, the verb, have always been associated with the embodiment of intention. But the embodiment of any plan is always the revelation of this plan to the World, and therefore the rune of Krad is also the rune of disclosure, the rune of the loss of the external, superficial - that which burns in the fire of sacrifice.

The magical content of the Krada rune is purification; releasing intention; embodiment and implementation.

Treba

Keywords: Firmness of Spirit; Warrior; Victim

Like the similar Germanic rune Teyvaz, the Slavic rune Treba is the rune of the Warrior of the Spirit - a wanderer on the Road to Alatyr.

Scandinavian legends tell about such an act of Tyr, the god to whom this rune is dedicated in the Germanic system. One day the gods managed to catch Fenrir, the World Wolf - the cause of the coming Ragnarok, the End of the World. In order to restrain the destructive power of the Wolf, it was necessary to put specially made strong fetters on him. But this could only be done by cunning, and then the gods promised the Wolf that they would only test the fetters and then remove them, and Tyr, as a pledge of this, put his hand in the Wolf’s mouth. And when the Wolf was chained, he bit off Tyr's hand - but victory over Chaos was achieved.

Sacrifice, without which it is impossible to embody the intention on the Road, is the sacred content of the Treba rune. But sacrifice in the inner Tradition is not a simple gift to the gods; the idea of ​​sacrifice implies sacrificing oneself. And the Warrior of the Spirit is the one who, on the Road to Alatyr, defeats the dark shackles of consciousness with the bright fire of sacrifice and, freeing himself from them, accepts Dedication and Power.

Force

Keywords: Force; Knowledge; Integrity

Strength is the asset of a Warrior. Strength in the Nordic Tradition is not only the ability to change the World and oneself in it, but also the ability to follow the Road, freedom from the shackles of consciousness. And, since only the garbage of consciousness fragments both the World and consciousness itself in human perception, the rune of Power is at the same time the rune of unity, integrity, the achievement of which is one of the results of movement along the Road. And this is also the rune of Victory, for the Warrior of the Spirit gains Power only by defeating himself, only by being able to break the shackles of consciousness, only by sacrificing his outer self for the sake of freeing his inner self, his true divine Self.

The magical meaning of this rune is directly related to its definitions as the rune of victory, the rune of power and the rune of integrity. The Rune of Strength can direct a person or situation towards Victory and gaining integrity, it can help clarify an unclear situation and push towards the right decision.

In the German runic ranks, the rune of Strength corresponds to the rune Zig (Soul) of the Elder Futhark.

Wind

Keywords: Vertex; To know; Wind-Force; Veles

The Wind Rune belongs to the Slavic god of magic and wisdom, wealth and Strength - Veles. This is the rune of the Spirit; rune of Knowledge and ascent to the top; the rune of will and inspiration, equally magical and poetic. Graphically, the Wind rune resembles the double rune of the Warrior of the Spirit - this is no coincidence: just as the Treba rune represents the archetype of the Warrior of the Path, a wanderer on the Road to Alatyr, so the Wind rune represents the archetype of the Divine Magician - the direction and result of the Warrior’s work on himself...

In the sacred Tradition, Wind is a stable image of the spiritualized magical Power associated with the element of air. In our developments, this is the inner circle of magic - that circle of inner knowledge and inner Power in which the inner Alatyr of man, his divine Self, is hidden. However, is there any difference at all between the Alatyr of man and the Alatyr of the World?..

So, at the level of magic, the Wind rune symbolizes the Wind-Force and the inner magic circle; at the emotional level - inspiration, creative rage (Scand. odr, where the Scandinavian name Veles - One) comes from; at the event level - the divine Game, all those endlessly interconnected, but seemingly random, events reflecting the eternal dance of Shiva-Veles...

Bereginya

Keywords: Birch; Fate; Mother; Earth; Makosh

Bereginya in the Slavic Tradition is a female mythological image associated with protection and motherhood; in archaic antiquity, Makosh, the Mother Goddess, acted under the name Beregini. Therefore, the Beregini rune is the rune of the Mother Goddess, who is in charge of both earthly fertility and the destinies of all living things. According to traditional beliefs, the Mother Goddess gives life to souls who come to incarnate on Earth, and she takes life away when the time comes. And with equal rightness one can call the Beregini rune the rune of Life and the rune of Death, for both the Heavenly Mother (Scand. Frigg), who spins the threads of destinies, and the Underground Mother (Scand. Hel), who rules the kingdom of the dead, are the essence of the same Goddess.

This same rune is the rune of Fate, as it is understood in the Nordic Tradition. And also a rune of wealth and good, since the goddess Makosh is the wife (read: female hypostasis) of the god Veles. And just like the rune of the Wind, the rune of Beregini is a rune of power - but this is a completely different force: the heavy and powerful force of the Earth, with whose element the very image of the Great Goddess is associated... If - turning to the eastern traditions - the Power of the Wind is associated with the upper energy centers of man, then Beregini’s power is with the lower ones...

Only partly the meaning of the Beregini rune is conveyed by the German Berkana rune.

Oud

Keywords: Yar; Love; Youth; Fire; Yarovit

The Slavic word "ud", which generally means "limb, member", in a sacred context acquires the specific meaning of phallus. In all branches of the Indo-European Tradition, without exception, the symbol of the male member, lingam, is associated with the fertile creative force that transforms Chaos. This the fiery force was called Eros by the Greeks, and Yar by the Slavs (these words have the same root).

The Oud rune is dedicated to the Nordic god, who was revered as the son of Veles by the Slavs or the son of Odin by the Scandinavians. His Slavic name is Yarovit (Yarilo), and his Scandinavian name is Balder. The Oud rune embodies his power - Yar, what makes men masculine and women feminine. This is not only the fiery power of love, but also a passion for life in general, a force that unites opposites, fertilizes the emptiness of Chaos...

In the German runic series, the Ud rune corresponds to the Uruz and, partly, Inguz runes.

Lelya

Keywords: Love; Water; Attraction; Lelya

The goddess of this rune, Lelya, was revered by the Slavs as the daughter of the Great Mother. Her name is associated with a very wide range of ancient roots, such as lalya ("child, girl"), cherish, and so on, right up to the Sanskrit lila - "game". Both the young goddess Lelya herself, Yarovit’s sister, and her rune are associated with the element of water, and more specifically, living, flowing water flowing in springs and streams.

In the Nordic Tradition, this is the goddess of Strength who leads, just as a stream of water leads. Under different names we meet her in European fairy tales about the sea (river) Virgin, in the tales of King Arthur, where she acts as the Guardian Virgin of the Holy Grail and the Road to it, in Slavic and many other ritual myths.

In magic, the Lely rune is the rune of intuition, knowledge-beyond-mind, the Power that leads in the journey-search, as well as spring awakening and fertility, flowering and joy.

In the Germanic runic series, this rune corresponds to the Laguz rune and, partly, Vunyo.

Rock

Keywords: Spirit; Unmanifest; Unknowable; Rock

This is the rune of the transcendental unmanifested Spirit, which is the beginning and end of everything. The Slavs called it Rock, the ancient Scandinavians - Tsrlög, the ancient Anglo-Saxons - Wyrd.

There is no point in talking about it - there is only sense in feeling it. The Nordic Wyrd, or Rock, is similar to the eastern Tao. Even God cannot avoid what is predetermined by fate - these are the words of Herodotus. There is nothing outside of Rock. Rock, Wyrd, Orlyog are not a deity, not a law, not even a predestination, it’s simply All-That-Is...

During fortune telling, the fallen rune of Doom will indicate that higher, unknowable forces are at work, and the development of the situation is unpredictable. In magic, the Doom rune can be used to dedicate an object or situation to the Unknowable.

Of the Elder Futhark runes, only part of the meaning of the Doom rune is conveyed by the Perth, Evaz and Hagalaz runes. In a certain sense, the Northumbrian runes Ear, Kveort and Gar are close in meaning. However, we repeat, there is no one-to-one correspondence here.

Support

Keywords: Gods; Homeland; Pillar; Kol and Kolo

This is the rune of the foundations of the Universe; rune of the gods. It is the supports, the pillars of the World, that the gods are revered in Tradition; in the ancient northern languages, these two words - god and pillar - sounded the same: ass/ans. The host of gods are both the center and the periphery of the World, therefore, in Russian, both the Axis, symbolizing the World Tree, and the Circle, which embraces it, are meant by almost the same word: Kol and Kolo. A support, a pillar, is also a shaman’s pole, or a tree along which the shaman travels to heaven; and this pole is also the gods, since it is from them that the shaman draws strength for his journey. And the circle surrounding it is the circle in which the existence of people who worship their gods takes place; This is the Motherland, the heritage of our ancestors.

In fortune telling, the Rune of Support can mean the support of gods and deities, finding a solid foundation, strength of spirit and strength of position.

In the Elder Futhark, certain aspects of the meaning of the Support rune are partially conveyed by the Odal and Ansuz runes.

Dazhdbog

Keywords: Good; Gift; Fertility

The rune of the bright Dazhdbog, symbolizing good in every sense of the word: from material wealth to the joy that accompanies true love. The most important attribute of this god, whom the Scandinavians worshiped under the name Freyr, and the Celts under the name Dagda, is a cornucopia or, in a more ancient form, a cauldron of inexhaustible goods. The flow of gifts flowing from this sacred cauldron like an inexhaustible river is represented by the Dazhdbog rune.

In fortune telling, the rune means gifts of the gods, the acquisition, receipt or addition of something, the emergence of new connections or new good acquaintances; well-being in general. Also, the appearance of this rune can mark the successful completion of any undertaking or process.

The Dazhdbog rune is closest to the Elder runes Fe and Yer; in addition, some aspects of its meaning correspond to the runes Inguz, Gebo and Dagaz.

Perun

Keywords: Coating; Power

Rune of Perun - the Nordic god of thunder, protecting the worlds of gods and people and preserving Truth and Order from the onset of the forces of Chaos. Symbolizes strength, power, masculine straightforwardness and vitality.

When doing fortune telling, the rune can mean the appearance of powerful, but heavy, forces that can move the situation from a dead point or give it additional energy for development. It also symbolizes personal power, but in some negative situations - power not burdened by wisdom. But this is also the direct protection given by the gods from the forces of Chaos, from the destructive effects of mental, material or any other destructive forces.

In the Elder Futhark, the Thurisaz rune comes closest to the meaning of the Perun rune, although there is no complete correspondence between them.

Eat

Keywords: Nature; Life; Movement

The Rune of Life, or Alive, mobility and natural variability of existence, for immobility is dead. This rune represents those divine forces that make grass grow, the juices of the earth flow through tree trunks, and blood run faster in spring in human veins. This is the rune of light and bright vitality and the natural desire for movement for all living things.

In fortune telling, the appearance of the rune Is symbolizes renewal, movement, growth, Life itself.

In the Elder Futhark, this rune corresponds to the runes Evaz and Berkana.

Source

Keywords: Ice; Non-movement; First Principle

For a correct understanding of this rune, it should be remembered that in the Nordic Tradition, ice is one of the creative primordial elements, symbolizing strength-at-rest, potentiality, movement in stillness. According to some versions of northern legends, the World arose from a single hailstone - an ice grain.

When divining, the rune of Source, the rune of ice means stagnation, a crisis in business or in the development of a situation. However, it should be remembered that the state of frozenness, non-movement, contains the potential power of movement and development (signified by the rune Is) - just as movement contains potential stagnation and freezing...

In the Scandinavian runic series, the Source rune corresponds to the Elder Rune Isa and, in part, to the Younger Rune Hagal.

Slavic runes are called the alphabet for a reason, because this is a centuries-old form of communication with them and between the children in charge of our Russian land, and historians and experts on the Russian Veda have not argued with each other on this topic for a long time. It is gratifying to notice how the revival of Ancestral Memory occurs every day, because Brothers and Descendants have no less interest in the language of communication of their Ancestors than in modern foreign languages.

Establishing itself over time, the tradition of making amulets with the application of Slavic runes covers new generations who feel the deep meaning of protective amulets and their endless power. Our skillful creators present their various products on the pages of the Veles online store, on which the image of each Slavic rune forms part of a capacious word and saying, containing semantic interpretation and living energy. Most of the currently recognized alphabet of 18 main Slavic runes are translated into Cyrillic letters, and Perun, Chernobog, Dazhdbog and Lelya entrusted their names to the strongest runes.

Let's admit to ourselves that we feel confused and are afraid of making a mistake in interpreting the meaning of Slavic runes, and even more so we try to avoid independently explaining the entire ligatures applied to amulets and talismans, and their actions.

Since you are interested in Slavic runes, we have collected interesting information for you, and when you carefully study the materials, the deep meanings of the ancient alphabet, which is saturated with the Power of timeless knowledge, will be revealed to you.

What is common in the description, interpretation and meaning of Slavic runes and Scandinavian futhark

If you have information about, it will not be difficult for you to determine how its description, meaning and interpretation are similar to the characteristics of Slavic runes. We will not argue and persistently claim the Truth, we also do not begin our own research in order to form loud, flashy conclusions (our Internet portal aims to convey known true information and proposals, excluding the generation of existing and new deliberate disputes), we note that this actually takes place.

Here you should not pay attention to who comes first - the egg or the chicken. From the very beginning, the Slavs and Aryans were intertwined with common roots and a common culture, and the relationship between them was based on mutual respect for each other’s actions, customs and foundations, and the wisdom of their descendants was manifested in respect for Veles. Therefore, you can choose the alphabet and futhark that is closer in inner feeling and more accessible in use - like speaking a certain language or, for example, using certain adverbs and displaying a pronounced accent characteristic of a particular people.

We advise you to achieve understanding in dialogue with the Gods, as well as a correct interpretation of the answer given to you by the Higher Powers on an exciting topic, first of all, try to feel and hear both Slavic and Scandinavian runes, tuning in to their sound in words and in the soul. Ask your heart to tell you what message the runes have prepared for you, listen to it and catch the personal one.

This may take a single day, month or even a year. If, for one reason or another, you now cannot do without the power of a talisman with engraving of Slavic runes, contact our skilled Masters. They know the Native Ancient Language and thus maintain communication with their Ancestors, receiving their blessings to create talismans for good luck and help the Gods and Ancestors in difficult situations, in addition to making amulets to attract prosperity.

The meaning of each Slavic rune: interpretation of symbols and use in amulets

The meanings of Slavic runes corresponding to the purposes are manifested in embroidery patterns on any textile home, in figured designs on household utensils: dishes, room decor, a religious product, or a child, on towels and belts.

From the Slavic runes on a person and on the shields of warriors, you can read what Family he belongs to, what roles he plays in it, and how strong his Devotion to the Gods is. The ritual symbolism of the Slavic alphabet is used quite extensively - Sorcerers use runes in weaving ligatures, which are saturated through proper activation, and the feeling of a strong message and energetic interaction of Reveal, Navi and Pravi will touch the minds of a generation in need of Knowledge.

You can’t do without Slavic runes in mantika; with their help, you can effectively diagnose situations and draw up a schedule for upcoming work and identify its result; in addition, it is possible to determine an individual forecast for the future. The presence of Scandinavian and Slavic runes on wooden or stone dies indicates direct and inverted meanings, which is taken into account in the process of their interpretation. The conversation with Slavic runes through the author’s layout follows the scheme of the formed system, but each of them in itself is already an important proposal and a vivid image of a single, frank story of the Gods.

Dialogue with them in front of the mantle and blessing with favor more actively demonstrates the Power of the Family and unity with it, reveals the energy of the Spirit and Will, contributes to the awareness of the Future and preparation for it, sometimes making changes to the Path, which can be a great opportunity to weave with the Goddess Makosh a happy Share in The future of Rod.

1. Rune Peace

In the Slavic alphabet, runes correspond to the letter M
Meanings of content: White God, Tree of the World, inner self

Description of the meanings of the Slavic Rune Mir: helps to get help, an answer, protection; explains a difficult situation, broadcasts an appeal to the Native Gods and helps to find peace and well-being, orients to rethink existing values. The rune forces one to act not so much through justice, but by accepting the concept of bright Good and pure Good. For this reason, it is forbidden to use the power of the rune to negatively influence anything and in attempts to reverse situations for personal gain.

The traditional Slavic representation of the Rune of the White God - the World forms the image of God and Man as his manifestation in Revealing. The axis of the Universe is the universal Tree of the Family, the same role is played by the human vertebral axis - the irreplaceable basis of Life. The symbolism of the Slavic rune presents us with a Tree and a person, turning its branches-arms upward. The word world can be explained as a clan, community, community, which are built on their own Order, implying compliance with Laws.

The Slavic rune World through the Scandinavian futhark reveals its meaning in two runes: Mannaz - Man, personality and Algiz - God. In the image of the White God there is a parallel to Heimdall, the brightest of the aces. Heimdall's role is similar to the mission of the Slavic BelGod, he protects Limits and Order when Chaos overtakes them.

2. Rune Chernobog

Slavic alphabet of runes - letters CH and C
Meanings of content: Chernobog, inverted Tree of the World, shadow, jester

Description of the meanings of the Slavic Rune Chernobog: Unlike Belbog, Chernobog is in absolute evil. The destruction of the old and unnecessary is necessary so that our Path and Life are opened to something new and good. The burden of past memories delays new love - this is how the Black and White Gods are manifested in two sides of Life, being the facets of establishing Balance in it. The Rune of the World (BelBog) produces the Fatal Mission - Fate together with the Rune of Chernobog. Change and destroy, mislead, negatively influence and hide the obvious - in these meanings the Shadow Rune is active.

BelBog’s mission is to maintain the Universe in Order and Light, and Chernobog brings Chaos into our lives. Due to the fact that views on certain actions, as well as on their beginning, will be polar in different situations, because good and evil are always present in Man, thinking about absolute evil as a negative action and force is wrong and unreasonable.

Good and Evil are the eternal Nature of existence and interaction, always striving to catch the Balance in the World, exerting a direct influence on it.

Chernobog on the Rune is a deceiver ruler, playing the role of a Jester and a Clown, fighting against Order and crushing the established Limits. For a person, Chernobog becomes a shadow from the left shoulder, in the form of a game, directing everyone to destroy illusions and tear off their masks. The magical powers of Chernobog help resolve useless contacts and break through the vicious circle.

The Scandinavian Futhark compares the Chernobog rune with the Hagalaz and Pertha runes. The image of Chernobog is similar to a joker and destroyer of Space.

3. Rune Alatyr

Slavic alphabet of runes - letter A
Meanings of content: Mountain of Peace, Holy Grail, Foundation, Source, Goodness

Description of the meanings of the Slavic Rune Alatyr: Primary Source, Basis, Center of the World Movement. Alatyr - he is and he is not, he is weightless and unliftable, he is both insignificant and huge. The energy of purity is active in it; it contains the beginning of Everything. The main meaning of the runic symbol of Alatyr is the power of Knowledge and its potential, and cyclicality, stability, treatment, restoration, indicating the Road - opens paths and prospects for everyone.

The Scandinavian Futhark in its runes was never able to absolutely express the state of the Alatyr rune. It is partly similar to Yera and the Stan rune, which represent the Northumbrian series of runic symbols.

The center of the Universe, Alatyr Mountain, around which Chernobog and Belbog, Chaos and Order, eternally fight, maintaining the legal balance. The Alatyr-stone was a handful of earth on the ocean floor, from where the Gods lifted it and transferred it to Buyan Island.

Every river and road in the World begins from near Alatyr. The magical altar from which one addresses the Rule and presents the Treasures is a symbolic image of the Alatyr stone, the throne of the main Gods.

4. Rune Rainbow

Slavic alphabet of runes - letter P
Meanings of content: Path and Happiness, Victories and Successes, Achievements

Description of the meanings of the Slavic Rune Rainbow: the shortest route from point A to point B that connects one bank of a river to the other by a sky bridge. It represents the Road, the journey, the closest approach to what is desired, even through magic, the intervention of the Higher Powers.

The path is a sense of balance between Order and Chaos. The move has no beginning and end, but there is a Source, the Beginning of the Movement and the Result. The well-known motto “do what you must and be what happens” can be illustrated by the Rainbow rune. She guides hearts along the rainbow path to Alatyr. And what the trajectory of movement, the magnitude of speed and other characteristics will be is determined by the eternal confrontation. The rainbow path is supported by the energies of the heart, so the runic sign directs to Alatyr. The orientation of the path, the speed of following it and other characteristics are determined through the confrontation between the forces of Chernobog and Belobog, the harmony of the influence of the fire and water elements, light and dark, daytime and nighttime.

The Scandinavian futhark reflects the Rainbow rune in its general meaning: a road, a journey, like the Raido rune - it is an image of time on a journey and its presence in the Universe, sometimes lasting the entire Life Path. It is not possible to live permanently on the Rainbow, since the Gods give this time at a specific moment for a specific purpose.

5. Rune Need

Slavic alphabet of runes - letter N
Meanings of content: Viy, Dark Nav, Wisdom of Fate, Lies, inevitability

Description of the meanings of the Slavic Rune Need: Hellfire passes through the rune, causing suffering to those who deserve such consequences. Positive meaning is accepting your own imperfections, understanding what you need and what you want. Negative - the influence of pressure and coercion, the occurrence of difficulties, lack of freedom, the sadness of poverty and a bitter, hard existence. Turning to the runic symbol is an attunement to the dark face of Veles.

Need is the rune of Veles through the Image of Niya - this is Viy, the main God of the World of Darkness, Nav. Viy serves Chernobog, dispelling fear and horror around him, burning living organisms with his gaze, taking light from the world with his fire and shackling everything with chains. This is hopelessness, emptiness. Despite the negative impact, such influence is necessary at certain moments in order to direct the movement of the Kolovrat Path in the truly right direction. The magical powers of Need make it possible to prohibit the course of any action, to predict material difficulties; it is the bonds and shackles in the consciousness that weave the universe.

Nautiz is a Scandinavian futhark rune, its descriptions are the meanings of the Slavic rune Need.

6. Rune of Krada

Slavic alphabet of runes - letters G and K
Meanings of content: Truth, Divine fiery power, Realization, Action

Description of the meanings of the Slavic Rune Krada: the energy of sacrificial fire, which is lit for the Gods both during the burning of the dead and rituals, and for making offerings to ask for advice and help in difficult situations. Fire destroys everything that is not needed and that interferes, purifying and opening bright Paths. Krada also helps in work matters - gaining recognition, the desire to strive for worthy goals, discover new knowledge, express a grateful attitude and choose the right guidelines.

Strong and irreversible Divine energy through fire as a gift to each of us, hence the correspondence of the meaning of the Slavic rune Krada with the Kandinese Kano, Gebo. The rune is an action, the verb is the intention of realizing the intended goals. The magical possibilities of the Krada rune open up in cleansing channels, releasing desires, and translating them into reality.

7. Rune Treba

Slavic alphabet of runes - letter T
Meanings of content: Warrior, sacrifice, fortitude

Description of the meanings of the Slavic Rune Treba: The warrior-wanderer, heading for Alatyr, is revealed in this rune. She sets her own rules, requirements and, if necessary, chooses a victim. Compliance with the rules, the desire to study them and follow them will lead to victories, so breaking the laws makes no sense.

Without rivalry, battles, and competition, there will be no real victories, and overcoming difficulties, distributing forces and using them wisely, achieving the goal - this is the development that determines the content of the Requirement. It can be seen in the Scandinavian rune Teyvaz. Northern fairy tales tell that the Fenrir Wolf, caught by the Gods, leading to Ragnarok - the outcome in the World, had to be shackled with strong fetters that protected the power of his actions. Only cunning could help here. Having deceived Fenrir that the shackles would be removed by the Gods after the test, Tyr did not spare his hand, and it ended up in the wolf's mouth as a confirmation of the promise. It was broken, and Tyr’s bitten hand remained with the Wolf. This price was given for the victory of Light in Chaos, for the continuation of Peaceful Existence.

Such forced sacrifice is expressed in Teyvaz and Treb. But here it is necessary to clarify that this does not mean all sacrifices, but rather the sacrifice - oneself. The bright fire of the Warrior of Courage breaks the bonds on consciousness, opening the Road leading to Alatyr, bestowing Strength and Knowledge.

8. Rune Strength

Slavic alphabet of runes - letter C
Content meanings: Powers, gaining Knowledge, Integrity

Description of the meanings of the Slavic Rune Strength: Any force that influences the world around us, including intentional actions that change situations and objects. The key characteristics of the Force can be called Source, influence, concentration, calling on the Gods and Elements, consent to accept energy flows.

The Strength rune of the Slavic alphabet is the Soulu rune of the Scandinavian Futhark. Nords define strength by the ability and ability to change the surrounding space and themselves, also by following the chosen Road, which draws the border of Thought and Existence. This logical interpretation was also accepted by the Slavs; they defined the rune as a symbol of the victory of fetters, and sacrificing oneself frees the Spirit and one’s own “I”. Magic uses this Slavic rune to direct questioners to the shortest sure Road to Victory, clarifying the questions asked and finding solutions to actions.

The Slavic sons showed respect to the daughter of the Wise Mother. The words we know “to cherish the baby” - warm, soft, originated from the name of the Goddess of Spring. Her brother Yarovit is the fire element, and Lelya is the water element, always in motion, running in streams and rivers, saturating every spring.

The truth of Rock is that it cannot be touched, the Spirit is not transformed into flesh and there is no visual appearance, we can only feel it and try to understand it. Rock is the structure of every world - Reality, Nav, Rule accept prepared karma, which is beyond the control of even the Gods. The magic of the Rock that appears in the layout means transformation, the beginning of the Game of Divine Powers, the unpredictability of the outcome, and only sorcerers can determine it.

The rune of Hagalz, Eyvaz and Perth - this is how the Scandinavian futhark defines runes of similar meaning, but neither one nor the other is endowed with the full power of Rock. In addition to these runes, there are several Northumbian runic symbols - Kveort, Ear, Gar.

Did Slavic runes really exist?

The first arguments in favor of the existence of Slavic runic writing were put forward at the beginning of the last century; some of the evidence presented then is now attributed to the Glagolitic alphabet, and not to the “runic”, some turned out to be simply untenable, but a number of arguments remain valid to this day.

Thus, it is impossible to argue with the testimony of Thietmar, who, describing the Slavic temple of Retra, located in the lands of the Lutichians, points to the fact that the idols of this temple were inscribed with “special” non-Germanic runes. It would be completely absurd to assume that Thithmar, being an educated person, could not recognize the standard minor Scandinavian runes if the names of the gods on the idols were inscribed with them.

Massudi, describing one of the Slavic temples, mentions certain signs carved on stones. Ibn Fodaln, speaking about the Slavs at the end of the 1st millennium, points to the existence of grave inscriptions on pillars among them. Ibn El Nedimov speaks about the existence of Slavic pre-Cyrillic writing and even provides in his treatise a drawing of an inscription carved on a piece of wood (the famous Nedimov inscription). In the Czech song “Lubusha's Court,” preserved in a 9th-century copy, “pravodatne desks” are mentioned—laws written on wooden boards in some kind of writing.

Many archaeological data also indicate the existence of runic writing among the ancient Slavs. The oldest of them are finds of ceramics with fragments of inscriptions belonging to the Chernyakhov archaeological culture, clearly associated with the Slavs and dating back to the 1st-4th centuries AD. Already thirty years ago, the signs on these finds were identified as traces of writing. An example of “Chernyakhov” Slavic runic writing can be fragments of ceramics from excavations near the village of Lepesovka (southern Volyn) or a clay shard from Ripnev, belonging to the same Chernyakhov culture and probably representing a fragment of a vessel. The signs visible on the shard leave no doubt that this is an inscription. Unfortunately, the fragment is too small to make it possible to decipher the inscription.

In general, the ceramics of the Chernyakhov culture provide very interesting, but too scarce material for decipherment. Thus, an extremely interesting Slavic clay vessel was discovered in 1967 during excavations near the village of Voiskovoe (on the Dnieper). An inscription containing 12 positions and using 6 characters is applied to its surface. The inscription cannot be translated or read, despite the fact that attempts have been made to decipher it. However, it should be noted that there is a certain similarity between the graphics of this inscription and the runic graphics. There are similarities, and not only similarities - half of the signs (three out of six) coincide with the Futhark runes (Scandinavia). These are the runes Dagaz, Gebo and a minor version of the Inguz rune - a rhombus placed on top.

Another, later group of evidence of the use of runic writing by the Slavs consists of monuments associated with the Wends, the Baltic Slavs. Of these monuments, first of all, let us point out the so-called Mikorzyn stones, discovered in 1771 in Poland.

Another – truly unique – monument of the “Baltic” Slavic pyniks are the inscriptions on religious objects from the Slavic temple of Radegast in Retra, destroyed in the middle of the 11th century during the German conquest.

Slavic silver amulets with ancient symbols are usually intended to protect and protect their owner, but still different symbols on amulet runes have different magical powers. Therefore, when choosing a Slavic amulet, pay attention to the specific properties of each of them.

Many archaeological data also indicate the existence of runic writing among the ancient Slavs. The oldest of them are finds of ceramics with fragments of inscriptions belonging to the Chernyakhov archaeological culture, clearly associated with the Slavs and dating back to the 1st-4th centuries AD. Already thirty years ago, the signs on these finds were identified as traces of writing.

There are similarities, and not only similarities - half of the signs (three out of six) coincide with the Futhark runes (Scandinavia). These are the Dagaz, Gebo runes and a minor version of the Ingyz rune - a rhombus placed on the top.

Another - later - group of evidence of the use of runic writing by the Slavs is formed by monuments associated with the Wends, the Baltic Slavs. Of these monuments, we will first of all point out the so-called Mikorzhinsky stones, discovered in 1771 in Poland. Another – truly unique – monument of the “Baltic” Slavic pynic is the inscriptions on cult objects from the Slavic temple of Radegast in Retra, destroyed in the mid-11th century during the German conquest.

Runic alphabet
Like the runes of the Scandinavian and continental Germans, the Slavic runes go back, apparently, to the North Italian (Alpine) alphabets. Several main variants of Alpine writing are known, which were owned, in addition to the northern Etruscans, by the Slavic and Celtic tribes living in the neighborhood. The question of exactly how the Italic script was brought to the late Slavic regions remains completely open at the moment, as well as the question of the mutual influence of the Slavic and Germanic pynics.
It should be noted that runic culture should be understood much more broadly than basic writing skills - it is a whole cultural layer, covering mythology, religion, and certain aspects of magical art. Already in Epyria and Venice (the lands of the Etruscans and Wends), the alphabet was treated as an object of divine origin and capable of exerting a magical effect. This is evidenced, for example, by finds in Etruscan burials of tablets listing alphabetic characters. This is the simplest type of runic magic, widespread in North-West Europe.
Thus, speaking about the ancient Slavic runic writing, one cannot help but touch upon the question of the existence of the ancient Slavic runic culture as a whole. This culture was owned by the Slavs of pagan times; It was preserved, apparently, in the era of “dual faith” (the simultaneous existence of Christianity and paganism in Russia - 10-16 centuries).

An excellent example is the widespread use of the Freyr-Inguz rune by the Slavs. Another example is one of the remarkable Vyatic temple rings of the 12th century. Signs are engraved on its blades - this is another rune. The third blades from the edges bear the image of the Algiz rune, and the central blade is a double image of the same rune. Like the Freyra rune, the Algiz rune first appeared as part of Futhark; it existed without changes for about a millennium and was included in all runic alphabets, except for the later Swedish-Norwegian ones, which were not used for magical purposes (around the 10th century). The image of this rune on the temporal ring is not accidental. Rune Algiz is a rune of protection, one of its magical properties is protection from other people's witchcraft and the evil will of others. The use of the Algiz rune by the Slavs and their ancestors has a very ancient history. In ancient times, the four Algiz runes were often connected so that a twelve-pointed cross was formed, which apparently had the same functions as the rune itself.

At the same time, it should be noted that such magical symbols can appear among different peoples and independently of each other. An example of this can be, for example, a bronze Mordovian plaque from the end of the 1st millennium AD. from the Armyevsky burial ground. One of the so-called non-alphabetic runic signs is the swastika, both four- and three-branched. Images of the swastika are found everywhere in the Slavic world, although not often. This is natural - the swastika, a symbol of fire and, in certain cases, fertility, is a sign too “powerful” and too significant for widespread use. Like the twelve-pointed cross, the swastika can also be found among the Sarmatians and Scythians.

Of extreme interest is the one-of-a-kind temporal ring, again Vyatic. Several different signs are engraved on its blades at once - this is a whole collection of symbols of ancient Slavic magic. The central blade bears a slightly modified Ingyz rune, the first petals from the center are an image that is not yet completely clear. On the second petals from the center there is a twelve-pointed cross, which is most likely a modification of the cross from the four Algiz runes. And finally, the outer petals bear the image of a swastika. Well, the master who worked on this ring created a powerful talisman.

World
The shape of the World rune is the image of the Tree of the World, the Universe. It also symbolizes the inner self of a person, the centripetal forces striving the World towards Order. In a magical sense, the World rune represents protection and patronage of the gods.

Chernobog
In contrast to the Peace rune, the Chernobog rune represents the forces pushing the world toward Chaos. The magical content of the rune: destruction of old connections, breakthrough of the magic circle, exit from any closed system.

Alatyr
The Alatyr rune is the rune of the center of the Universe, the rune of the beginning and end of all things. This is what the struggle between the forces of Order and Chaos revolves around; the stone that lies at the foundation of the World; This is the law of balance and returning to square one. The eternal circulation of events and their immovable center. The magical altar on which the sacrifice is performed is a reflection of the Alatyr stone. This is the sacred image that is contained in this rune.

Rainbow
Rune of the road, the endless path to Alatyr; a path determined by the unity and struggle of the forces of Order and Chaos, Water and Fire. A road is more than just movement in space and time. The road is a special state, equally different from vanity and peace; a state of movement between Order and Chaos. The Road has neither beginning nor end, but there is a source and there is a result... The ancient formula: “Do what you want, and come what may” could serve as the motto of this rune. The magical meaning of the rune: stabilization of movement, assistance in travel, favorable outcome of difficult situations.

Need

Steal
The Slavic word "Krada" means sacrificial fire. This is the rune of Fire, the rune of aspiration and embodiment of aspirations. But the embodiment of any plan is always the revelation of this plan to the World, and therefore the rune of Krad is also the rune of disclosure, the rune of the loss of the external, superficial - that which burns in the fire of sacrifice. The magical meaning of the Krada rune is purification; releasing intention; embodiment and implementation.

Treba
Rune of the Warrior of the Spirit. The meaning of the Slavic word “Treba” is sacrifice, without which the embodiment of intention on the Road is impossible. This is the sacred content of this rune. But sacrifice is not a simple gift to the gods; the idea of ​​sacrifice implies sacrificing oneself.

Force
Strength is the asset of a Warrior. This is not only the ability to change the World and oneself in it, but also the ability to follow the Road, freedom from the shackles of consciousness. The Rune of Strength is at the same time the rune of unity, integrity, the achievement of which is one of the results of movement along the Road. And this is also the rune of Victory, for the Warrior of the Spirit gains Strength only by defeating himself, only by sacrificing his outer self for the sake of freeing his inner self. The magical meaning of this rune is directly related to its definitions as the rune of victory, the rune of power and the rune of integrity. The Rune of Strength can direct a person or situation towards Victory and gaining integrity, it can help clarify an unclear situation and push towards the right decision.

Eat
The rune of Life, mobility and natural variability of Existence, for immobility is dead. The Rune Is symbolizes renewal, movement, growth, Life itself. This rune represents those divine forces that make grass grow, the juices of the earth flow through tree trunks, and blood run faster in the spring in human veins. This is the rune of light and bright vitality and the natural desire for movement for all living things.

Wind
This is the rune of the Spirit, the rune of Knowledge and ascent to the top; rune of will and inspiration; an image of spiritualized magical Power associated with the element of air. At the level of magic, the Wind rune symbolizes Wind-Power, inspiration, and creative impulse.

Bereginya
Bereginya in the Slavic tradition is a female image associated with protection and motherhood. Therefore, the Beregini rune is the rune of the Mother Goddess, who is in charge of both earthly fertility and the destinies of all living things. The Mother Goddess gives life to souls who come to incarnate on Earth, and she takes life away when the time comes. Therefore, the Beregini rune can be called both the rune of Life and the rune of Death. This same rune is the rune of Fate.

Oud
In all branches of the Indo-European tradition, without exception, the symbol of the male penis (the Slavic word “Ud”) is associated with the fertile creative force that transforms Chaos. This fiery force was called Eros by the Greeks, and Yar by the Slavs. This is not only the power of love, but also a passion for life in general, a force that unites opposites, fertilizes the emptiness of Chaos.

Lelya

Perun
Rune of Perun - the thunder god, protecting the worlds of gods and people from the onset of the forces of Chaos. Symbolizes power and vitality. The rune can mean the emergence of powerful, but heavy, forces that can move the situation from a dead point or give it additional energy for development. It also symbolizes personal power, but, in some negative situations, power not burdened by wisdom. This is also the direct protection provided by the gods from the forces of Chaos, from the destructive effects of mental, material or any other destructive forces.

Source
For a correct understanding of this rune, one should remember that Ice is one of the creative primordial elements, symbolizing Power at rest, potentiality, movement in stillness. The Rune of Source, the Rune of Ice means stagnation, a crisis in business or in the development of a situation. However, it should be remembered that the state of frozenness, lack of movement, contains the potential power of movement and development (signified by the rune Is) - just as movement contains the potential for stagnation and freezing.

How to find out your rune by date of birth

Each person has his own rune, which he can use as a talisman. But it is important to choose exactly the symbol that suits you.

What should be done:

  • Add up the numbers of your date of birth. For example, you were born on October 16, 1991: 1+6+1+0+1+9+9+1=28
  • If the value is greater than 17, continue adding: 2+8=10

The resulting number is your sign number. In our example, the number 10 corresponds to Wind. This means that a person has enormous creative potential, which needs to be used. The Wind amulet will help you find your talents and use them for good, develop and strengthen them.

Application of runes

There are many ways to use Slavic symbols. The most common of them:

  1. Making amulets from natural materials. You need to make such talismans yourself, and then activate them using the energy of the four elements.
  2. Use in magical rites and rituals. Runes are used in both black and white magic for love spells, lapels, healing, help in fulfilling desires, etc.
  3. Fortune telling. To tell fortunes, you need to make a runic set of all the signs. There are special layouts with which you can find out the future

Runes are sacred signs that reflect the connection between man, divine energy and the world, creating from them something indestructible and eternal. In everyday life, ancient Slavic runes represent a system that is similar to the alphabet. They can be assembled and even some can be formed into words.
