Women's amulets of the ancient Slavs. Slavic amulets - time-tested amulets

Ancient mythology, a special topic in the world practical magic. In former times, 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 treated as a symbol, a sign, of a 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 entire Divine Pantheon. The Slavic Pantheon is numerous, and it is problematic to talk about all its branches. Therefore, let’s talk about those Gods of Slavic mythology who are mentioned more often, who are directly involved in the lives and destinies 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 treated as a symbol, sign, of a mythical Slavic Deity

Genus

Rod - Ancestor, in Slavic mythology the Prevailing Spirit, the creator of all things 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. All the main good deeds are attributed to Rod:

Creation of the Pantheon of Gods;
Creation of all things;
Gift to the people of the Earth;
A gift to the people of Heaven;
Creation of the Heavenly Bodies;
Possession of the soul;
Immortality of the human soul;
The possibility of rebirth of a person into another hypostasis (from a person into an animal, from an animal into a tree, a plant, from a plant due to nature, from nature again into a person).

Particular attention should be paid to the fact that all the deities of the Slavic Pantheon, all mythical incarnations all Forces of nature directly depend on the Will of the Family. That is, deities cannot help or harm people, animals, the earth and nature unless it is the will of the Family.

The symbol or sign of the Supreme Deity of the Family is a four-pointed star, the rays of which bend in the direction opposite to the movement of the sun. At the ends of the rays there are circles, personifying closed movement, endless and constant rebirth (the same change of incarnations of the human soul into various hypostases).

Almost everything is decorated with the symbols of the Family. 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 and amulets with the sign of the Family are widely used even now as simple decorations and as especially effective amulets. Such an amulet strengthens and greatly enhances the effect of amulets and talismans with the 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 external decoration.

Almost everything is decorated with the symbols of the Family

Svarog

Svarog belongs to the category of Higher Divine Spirits, and is a direct descendant of the Family. But, despite this, the symbolism of a cross with forked rays was never used by the Slavs as a single amulet. The whole point is that our ancestors were afraid of his Power, but even more, of his anger, and tried not to bother the Deity with their presence. Svarog is the patron saint of weapons, war, and warriors. But this deity also patronizes blacksmithing. Our ancestors believed that the forge was the temple of Svarog, the anvil and the blacksmith's hammer were his symbols. But it is worth remembering that the Charms with the symbols of Svarog were not made from metal, because the power contained in the hardest material threatened with dire consequences. Most often, his signs were used to decorate the warrior’s lower clothing, and sometimes symbols were carved on wooden handles. Mothers were supposed to carve amulets with the symbol of Svarog with their own hands and put these talismans on their husbands and sons before going to battle or war. Such drawings were used to decorate the walls of the forge, and they were applied to all blacksmith tools. Even on the doors of the forge, the symbol of the god Svarog was applied as a sign. The Slavs honor this Deity on the night of December 13th to 14th. In his honor, the furnaces are lit in all the forges, and the blacksmiths present their best products before his eyes. Recently, there has been an opinion that the symbolism was still embodied in iron, but the amulets were made strictly of silver, and they were worn hidden from prying eyes.

Svarog is the patron saint of weapons, war, and warriors

Perun

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

It is worth noting that the signs of this God are several symbols, and each of them is enclosed in a many-pointed star. The symbol of the Sword of Perun, the Hammer of Perun, and the Ax of Perun, made of pure silver, was considered the most powerful amulet for a warrior. Today it is extremely rare to find such amulets on the open market, since its symbolism is primarily the meaning of war, albeit a victorious one. Perun's amulets are made from all types of metal, including amulets, pendants made of silver, carved from wood as neck decorations, and embroidered on outer clothing. The meaning of such amulets and their functions in protecting a warrior from accidental injury. Wives were assigned to make ornaments and embroideries 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 wet the cloth with their pure tears, making the simple material impenetrable spiritual protection for their husbands and sons. The meaning of this is the power of love and the request for mercy.

They honor the holiday of Perun on July 20, from the first rays daylight hours, and until midnight people glorify this deity, drinking wine from silver glasses in his honor. In his honor, songs are sung, bonfires are lit and demonstration battles are held with obligatory honor for 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 factual confirmation, since in those days women were honored and respected and attacks on their freedom were harshly suppressed. Descriptions of ritual battles are preserved in ancient manuscripts.

Veles

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

First, Veles is the patron of people and their well-being. It supports life and helps people in their sorrows and difficult situations.
Secondly, Veles is revered as the patron saint of cattle and the animal world.
Third, this deity is called the patron of poets and songwriters.
The fourth, and surprising thing in his story is the fact that He is the patron of the living world, the faithful husband of the goddess Makosh, who in Slavic mythology is the Goddess of the World, the Family, the patroness of women and women's craft.

It is worth mentioning that during the transition to Christianity, this god Veles acquired several guises. So some of its features were assigned to St. Blaise, the patron saint of cattle breeding, while some were transferred to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and St. George. And Veles himself was transformed into Volosyanik and assigned to the demonic tribe.

But, nevertheless, admirers of pagan mythology and the Slavic Pantheon honor Veles from January 1 to January 6, during the New Year and Christmas celebrations. The Veles amulet is an inverted letter “A” enclosed in a ring of flame. The meaning of this kind of talisman is to enhance wisdom and increase wealth. They wear the 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 meaning of the talisman is that Veles gives his servants wisdom, fortitude and determination in making difficult life decisions. In his honor, bonfires should be lit and songs glorifying the land, livestock, and labor should be sung. There are practically no descriptions of rituals dedicated to the worship of this deity.

Yarilo

Yarilo is the pagan god of fertility, wheat and agriculture. In Slavic mythology, this deity occupied a place of honor, they worshiped him, they feared him, and they tried to please him. It was believed that crop failure was nothing more than a consequence of Yarilo’s anger at people. At the same time, he was endowed with the power to awaken carnal love and desire in all living things. He was considered the source of the white Light of the Family. Yarilo is a symbol of the Sun, the significance of its heat 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 good master. The symbol of Yarilo is a silver shield; in mythology, the shield is a sign of the Sun, and therefore in ancient records one can find the definition of the Sun as Yarilo’s walk across the celestial field. The signs and symbolism of Yarilo are displayed in wood, metal, embroidered, painted on fabric, and depicted with tattoos on the body. If the symbol is a decoration, then it is worn over clothing; if it is embroidery, then it is done on the outer shirt near the neckline or on the chest. Yarilo is honored in the period from March 21 to 22, that is, on the eve of the spring solstice. In part of Yarilo, they slaughter cattle, bake bread, and give silver items to their loved ones.

Makos

The goddess Makosh, or as she is also called Makosho, Makosha, Makoshnaya, the records of her ancestors proclaim her to be a kind and sympathetic goddess of the Pantheon. This is a deity faithful wife to her husband Veles, and patroness of women's crafts. The goddess makosh is credited with protecting spinning, farming, 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 or strength in her, she tries to protect people over other gods. This is the first ally of the goddess Lada, the patroness of women in labor and women's intuition. In some sources, the name Makosh is translated from Old Slavonic as “Mother” and “Lot,” that is, “Mother of Fate.” This goddess exists and rules with the support of her two assistants Srechi and Nesrecha (Share and NeDolya). Some sources give the strange meaning of this deity, this goddess weaves the threads of human destinies, and her fingers are pricked and wounded, as with her bare hands, to save people, she picks out splinters (sins) from their thread of life, unravels the knots.

The symbols of this deity are a sown field and a figure of a spinner made of silver. In images she is represented as a woman with a spinning needle in her hands, and in symbols as a complex figure combining four squares of regular shape located between the rays of an equilateral cross. Mokosh amulets are made from all types of metal, most often from pure silver, and are also carved from wood, painted, and embroidered on fabric. The symbolism embodied in jewelry is worn under clothing. Images of Mokosh can be found as:

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

They honor this Goddess in daytime October 26. But, according to ancient beliefs, Makosh is considered another day given to the Slavs: May 10, Earth Day, the Festival of Great Fertility. The description of the celebration according to sources comes down to chants and festivities.

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 relationships, 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 Rod. Some sources point to this deity as the only female hypostasis of the Rod itself. But, initially, she is a Daughter. More often Lada is depicted 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 on her head a wreath of the first field herbs and young leaves; in the summer, this is a young girl with golden hair and wearing a wreath of grown wheat, green branches with fruit ovaries and sparkles of morning dew. . Since autumn, Lada is presented as an incredibly beautiful woman, with long light-colored hair scattered across her back and falling to the ground, she wears a wreath with poured ears of corn and branches on her head. fruit trees. In winter, Lada is a stately blond beauty, dressed in snow-white arctic 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 giving birth and women handicraftsmen, strengthens family ties and teaches women humility while maintaining wisdom and their pride. The symbolism of Lada is the Ladinets amulet, a many-pointed star, the rays of which are directed against the movement of the sun. Symbols are carved from wood, smelted into metal, embroidered on women's clothing, painted on the body, and used as a talisman. 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 by committing adultery and sinning against your feminine nature. The significance of Lada in Slavic history and mythology is described in many sources of ancient teachings about the power of nature.

Lada patronizes women giving birth and women needlewomen

Alive

She is alive, initially represented in the Slavic Pantheon as the patron goddess of women in childbirth, the daughter of Lada and her right hand. She is the sister of Lada’s other daughters - Lelya, Lyalya, and Morana. Despite the fact that this deity carries within itself the beginning of life, the origin of the soul, its son is one of the most cruel gods, Peklenets - the master of the underworld, in modern religion the Devil himself. Alive, personifies 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 they believed that if the Cuckoo forges, then Zhiva appeared from Iria itself (pagan Paradise) to count the dead and the born.

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

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

Description of the amulet and symbolism of the goddess Zhiva is alive compound letter“F”, a plexus of colors and waves. Often a butterfly becomes a symbol of Zhiva, as a repetition of the features of the amulet image. It doesn’t matter what kind of material is used and how the symbol is applied, the main thing is the repetition of the “Butterfly” lines. You need to wear the amulet all the time, 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:

Morana;
Mora;
Moraine;
Morzhena;
Morochka;
Omoroka;
Dark Mother of God.

Morena is a cruel and unforgiving goddess. She feeds on human illness, pain, fear and death. This deity in the Pantheon is presented as a punishing Spirit. But, sources point to the fact that before wars and battles, Morena was glorified, asking for deliverance. And this is true, because in case of severe wounds, warriors in their suffering cried out to Death as a deliverer from pain. They prayed to Morena for terrible incurable diseases of old age, calling for deliverance from suffering. The Slavs have a twofold attitude towards this deity: on the one hand, it is the destroyer of the human race, but on the other, a deliverer from suffering. The moraine was respected and feared, and its symbolism was applied to the clothes and bedding of terminally ill patients in order to attract the attention of death and thereby end the person’s suffering.

The symbolism of Morena is a cross with rays upset at the ends. There is a belief that a mortally wounded warrior, in order to call the goddess of Death to himself, had to draw the Morena symbol on his clothes with his blood and call on the deity with a prayer for his own completion of his earthly journey. The Goddess of Death did not refuse the suffering and generously gave her mercy of death to everyone who wanted it.

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 there are no celebrations on this day, but on the contrary, it is the Night of Sorrow, a time to mourn fallen soldiers and deceased relatives.

Morena is a cruel and unforgiving goddess

Peklenets

God Peklenets in the Slavic Pantheon is the son of Zhiva, and the faithful nephew of Morena. This is one of the most mysterious figures in Slavic mythology. They depicted the deity in the form of a flame, he fed on human sins, and welcomed murder, violence and theft. But this deity was later presented in Christianity as the Devil himself and was considered the most generous among the gods. In ancient times, elders and landowners were accused of renouncing the Family and the higher Gods and were suspected of having connections with Peklenets. As mythology said, this deity is two-faced and vile. Giving people wealth and glory during their lifetime, in Hell he plunged fiery pins 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 shrouded in 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 in fire, but this has not been proven by facts. Adherents 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 13th comes into force.

The symbols and signs of the gods of the Slavic Pantheon carry strong energy, and therefore, before choosing a talisman with this or that image, of this or that form, it is worth asking what this symbol actually means. The best Slavic amulets are the symbolism of Rod, Yarilo, Veles, Zhiva, Svarog, Perun or Lada. Their intercession will help to overcome life's adversities and cope with the complexities of human existence.

Folk embroidery - good example use of ornaments in everyday life. Previously, embroidery was almost the only way decorate light outerwear, festive shirts, scarves, white canvas sundresses, hats, tablecloths, towels, curtains, wedding valances and hand-made amulets.

According to some assumptions of our ancestors, we can conclude that embroidery decorated mainly those parts of clothing through which unclean forces could penetrate the human body. This is where the main meaning of ornament and embroidery comes from - to protect, to protect. A similar protective pattern was used to embroider the hem, cuffs, collar and neckline. The fabric was considered impenetrable to evil spirits, since various protective ornaments were used in the manufacturing process. This is exactly how the amulets of the ancient Slavs were made.

For embroidering amulets, preference was given to red threads - this color was given an absolutely special meaning. However, shades were also used, for example: poppy, brick, currant, scarlet, cherry and lingonberry.

Ancient embroidery was done using counted stitches, where the threads of the fabric are counted for each stitch. The design was not transferred to the fabric, but only its size and location were outlined. The most popular and widespread stitches were “casting”, “painting” and “counted satin stitch”.

What is the essence of the amulet

The name fully corresponds to the essence and calling of any amulet - to protect and protect a person from any adversity. In other words, the amulet should protect the owner from illness, failure, damage or the evil eye. Among other things, homemade amulets can protect a person from any effects on the emotional sphere, soul or psyche. They will perfectly protect a person from love spells, severe depression, the imposition of someone else’s will and suggestions from the outside.

Therefore, magical objects became amulets, which over the course of several centuries proved that they could protect and protect people from unfriendly forces. The amulets are very diverse - they can be bracelets, patterns stylized as symbols of the patrons of the family or ancient deities, beads, decorations on trim, shutters, windows, above the gate, roof or porch of the house.

Today, the skills of our ancestors in everyday defense have been almost completely lost. The disappearance of constant reliable protection turns us into quite easy and defenseless prey for the unwanted influences of dark forces, and we are not even able to notice it. But this could have been avoided if we had, for example, made a talisman for the doll with our own hands. Then you wouldn’t have to seek help from doctors so often, complaining of headaches, general malaise, irritability, weakness or insomnia.

They always carried the “Wisher” doll-amulet with them. Having sewn a new ribbon or button to it, they asked for a wish to be granted, while making a wish in a whisper, in her ear.

The “Ten-Handed” amulet doll helped to keep up with housework, raise children, etc.

How do amulets work?

First of all, the impact of amulets is directly related to the color of a person’s aura. Thus, by putting on a talisman of the correct color, we gain the opportunity to painlessly and quickly remove energy breakdowns in the aura, which may well be dangerous to life or health.

It remains to understand which amulets can really be useful. Naturally, the most powerful are your personal amulets, passed down by inheritance: rings, rings, beads, earrings or any other thing that brings happiness. Typically, such items are more often passed down through the female line and much less often through the male line - in the form of a belt buckle or knife. If your family did not have such a practice, and therefore similar amulets for the home are not observed, then you will have to make them yourself.

In this case, let's consider the most effective and simplest remedy - protective embroidery. It is best to embroider figures that have a traditional protective meaning: the silhouette of a rooster, a dog, fairy bird with the face of a woman, a horse and flowers. These symbols have been around since the times of pagan gods who were friendly and protective of people. This option is especially suitable for protective appliqués and embroideries on children's clothing, since it is more convenient for the child than heavy bracelets, rings or beads.

In general, there is such a rule: a really strong amulet cannot be bought. It must be found among those things that were passed down in your family by inheritance.

However, this happens quite rarely. But any tradition needs a founder, doesn’t it? So why don’t you create a talisman yourself, so that it can then be passed on to your descendants, be they children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren?

Materials for embroidering amulet

Cotton

For constant protection from damage and the evil eye, choosing cotton threads is more suitable.

Linen

Linen brings peace and works best if you use ancient patterns and symbolism, such as trees, the sun, birds and stars.

Wool

Those who have already been touched by evil will be well protected by wool, as it can close gaps in energy. It is best to perform embroidery with wool in the area of the solar plexus, neck, lower abdomen, heart, in other words, where the main chakras of people are located.

Usually the silhouettes of those animals that you like are embroidered with wool, and somewhat less often - fruits and trees. It is not recommended to embroider stars and birds with woolen threads. But the sun is quite suitable, because it can protect you from darkness and cold on your life’s path.

Silk

Silk, in turn, perfectly helps in various difficult situations related to work and career, as it maintains clarity of thinking.

Mistakes in making amulets

You should not embroider several protective patterns of different purposes and materials on one thing. It is preferable to choose a separate item from your wardrobe for each embroidery, otherwise such a talisman will bring energetic confusion instead of the desired result.

Remember, you should not use threads of different materials in the same pattern.

It is important to take into account that protective embroidery must be smooth, without knots. Knots can break the necessary energetic connection between the embroidery and its owner, making it difficult for the smooth and correct flow of energy.

Choosing the location of protective embroidery

protecting the baby from troubles - the silhouette of a rooster or horse, embroidered with black or red thread; for older children, for example, schoolchildren - a violet-blue color scheme that protects against mental fatigue;
protection of the sphere of relationships (love) - cross-shaped and circular shapes of patterns embroidered with orange-red threads;
successful business management in any field of activity - golden-green or blue embroidery.

Types of ornaments

The emergence of ornament dates back to a time when the advent of writing was still far away. This is confirmed mainly by the fact that ancient man, who dug dugouts for himself, dressed in the skins of killed animals and warmed himself by the fire, necessarily decorated most household items with various ornaments. On the tools and clay vessels of people of that time, you can see the simplest patterns: wavy and straight lines, dots and diamonds.

Everyone knows that in ancient times man was a hunter. Of course, he knew that the main strength of the animals lay in their tusks - real weapons in the fight for life. The tusk itself or its cut was depicted in the form of a diamond. This sign contained power and strength. It is for this reason that ancient people painted it on surrounding objects and their own bodies.

Diamonds running over each other were a sign of good luck, fertility and successful hunting. The man asked the Earth, Sun and Sky for good luck and cast the necessary spells so that his fields would be productive. To do this, he had to repeat patterns.

Besides:

horizontal lines symbolized the earth;
the points between the lines are grains thrown into the ground;
wavy lines - water;
oblique lines are a symbol of rain crossing the road to the sun.

In ancient times, masters often painted signs symbolizing the sun - solar signs. Over the millennium, the sun has received a huge number of variations in the image, among which there are various types of crosses, whether in a circle or without it. Some similar crosses, outlined in a circle, resemble images of a wheel, and this is not just so: people saw that the sun moved across the sky like a fiery wheel. The celestial body, or rather its eternal movement, was designated by a swastika, a hooked cross, denoting not only the sun, but also a wish for well-being. Most often it can be found on northern embroidery on shirts, towels and in swearing weaving.

Old ornaments can tell us many secrets. Unraveling the meanings of symbols, we understand that this language of symbols conveys to us the attitude of our ancestors to nature. The masters drew the necessary spells in the form of an ornament, asking nature for protection, protection and mercy, bowing before its power. After this, the people with special care selected and preserved those signs that contributed to abundance, goodness, luck and a good harvest.

Color solutions for making amulets

The colors of the amulet are directly related to the protection of one specific human chakra, out of the seven existing ones.

For the one located at the very bottom, in the coccyx area, which is responsible for the musculoskeletal system, rectum and genitourinary system - red color.

Orange- ideal for the second chakra, located just below the navel and responsible for the kidneys and sexual energy.

The third (solar plexus area) is suitable yellow, as for the area where vital energy is centralized, which also controls all organs in the abdominal cavity.

The heart chakra, the fourth in a row, needs green color because it is responsible for the activities of the heart, arms, spine, lungs and emotions.

It is important to pamper the fifth - throat chakra, which is responsible for the organs of hearing, breathing, skin and throat. blue, because it is also responsible for human creativity.

For the “third eye” (sixth) zone, which deals with intellectual abilities - blue.

The seventh chakra (crown), which is the link with God and the Higher Powers - violet.

What do these colors mean?

Red - fire, heavenly fire, blood (symbol of vitality).

Black is earth.

White is associated with a sense of sacredness, light, purity (White King, White Light), while also being the color of mourning and death.

Golden - sun.

Green - life, vegetation.

The color purple is practically never found in Russian embroidery.

Blue - water, sky.

When creating amulets, certain rules must be taken into account:

No one has the right to force or beg someone to make a talisman for themselves, since such things can only be made from a pure heart and of good will.
You cannot make amulets for yourself. (You can only make Makosh for yourself!)
The most reliable and powerful amulets are those made by blood relatives: brother, father, children or mother.
By tradition, marital ties are not counted as blood ties, but if it is a harmonious marriage, then mutually created amulets will have greater power.
It is worth noting that there is no need to invent anything here, since the most powerful amulet for spouses is wedding rings. It is desirable, of course, that they be silver, as in the old days, and not gold, as is now customary. In addition, wedding rings should not have stones or patterns, but simply smooth. Rings, unlike other magical items, lose most of their power from various inserts, even if they are the most precious stones. Wedding rings must be worn without taking them off even before going to bed, that is, constantly.

The protective forces are weakened even if only one of the spouses removed the ring, since they are strongly interconnected with each other. This also applies to other paired magical items.
It is necessary to take seriously and carefully the selection of materials for making amulets, since there are often cases that a material suitable for you (for example, wood or stone) is absolutely not suitable for the person for whom you are creating this amulet.
While you are working on creating a talisman, you should constantly think about the person for whom your talisman is being made; it is important to feel his character, energy, needs, mood and keep his image before your mind’s eye.

If you strictly follow all these rules, then it is most likely that the amulet made by your own hands will really be able to protect its owner from a considerable number of misfortunes and troubles.

Protective embroidery is still one of the most powerful protectors.

The most convenient, safe and affordable materials for creating amulets are considered to be ordinary threads: linen, wool and cotton, because embroidery has been the simplest amulets for a long time. It was traditionally made on any clothing, fabric and towel. The most important condition in protective embroidery is pattern and color. The color scheme must correspond to the part of the spectrum chosen for protection.

All that remains is to put together the type of thread, color and pattern, and then perform protective embroidery for a person close to you. Before doing this, decide why this or that amulet is needed, who it will protect and bring joy.

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 the Thunderman, aka 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 serpentine, the seal of Veles in the shape of the paw of a bear 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 according to their shape.

Charms of the ancient Slavs in folk embroidery

Our distant ancestors, as you know, worshiped the forces of nature. The amulets of the ancient Slavs are, in fact, a whole science associated with pagan deities. You can find protective symbols everywhere - from signs depicted on household items to clothing and accessories. Embroidery played a special protective role. Today we see in it only folk ornaments decorating clothes. However, this is far from true: each embroidered pattern carried certain information designed to help in solving important life problems.

Folk embroidery decorated not only clothes, but also table and bed linen. At the same time, the location of the pattern, its color, the design, and the execution process itself mattered. So, on clothes, the ornament was traditionally located in a circle - on the hem, on the belt, on the sleeves, on the collar. The main purpose of embroidery was not decoration, as is commonly thought, but protection from damage and other evils.

Rules for embroidery

The amulets of the ancient Slavs in folk embroidery required strict adherence to a number of rituals, even in preparatory stage. The embroidery itself should not have knots on back side, since knots, according to legend, deprived the amulet of power. Here are some rules that had to be followed when performing protective embroidery:

1. You cannot embroider a talisman for yourself.
2. The amulet is performed exclusively at will and from the heart. You cannot force or ask someone to create a talisman for yourself.
3. The most powerful amulets are performed by blood relatives - parents, children, brothers and sisters. Amulets created by the hands of one of the spouses are endowed with similar power, provided that the relationship is harmonious.
4. The choice of material that serves as the basis for the amulet must be in harmony with the person for whom it is intended.
5. In the process of making a talisman, you should think about who it is intended for, mentally imagining his image and feeling his energy, character and needs.
Only with strict observance of all these rules will the amulet have protective power and protect its owner from many misfortunes.

The roots of Slavic culture go back to ancient times. Before the adoption of Christianity, the Slavs worshiped a huge number of gods. The Pantheon was measured by various rulers, who in their own way protected and controlled everything that happened on Slavic land. However, such an element of the culture of our ancestors as symbolism is still poorly understood. This is because historians underestimate the importance of the pre-Christian period in shaping modern beliefs.
What is a symbol?

Slavic symbolism is so diverse in content and form that it is simply impossible to fully cover all its components. It is worth noting that the symbol in its meaning is a multifaceted phenomenon. A symbol is not only a set of specific signs that carry some information. A symbol is, first of all, the result of finding certain meanings of human and divine existence. It includes a huge amount of magic that is incomprehensible to the average person. Ancient people, the Slavs, among others, believed in the influence of various symbols on the course of events and the development of all life on Earth.
Slavic symbols-amulets.

The Slavs believed in higher powers and associated them primarily with the phenomena of the surrounding world. Therefore, among the variety of symbols, the presence of the Sun, Nature, Earth and Fertility, Water, Fire, Air and Space is distinguished. Each of the elements and natural phenomena is widely represented in the symbolism of the ancient Slavs. But the symbolism of the union of two principles occupies a special position in culture. The Slavs clearly understood that Man and Woman must exist inseparably. It can be noted that almost all psychological theories are based on the beliefs of the ancient Slavs about the inviolability of the union of Man and Woman.

Thus, the entire diversity of Slavic symbols is explained by the presence of a widely developed ancient Slavic culture. This confirms the fact that our ancestors had enough high level development, which is not only interesting to study, but also useful.
