The legendary plant is reflected in a completely tangible amulet symbol. The Fern Flower, or Perun's color, is a solar sign. He is depicted as an eight-pointed swastika. This is the strongest amulet against illnesses and all evil of natural or magical origin. Is such protection suitable for everyone, and how to make a talisman?
The Legend of the Fern Flower
Amulet “Fern Flower”
There are many legends and beliefs about endowing a plant with properties that are dissimilar to other plants. Why is this happening? The plant does not bloom in nature; it reproduces by spores; no one has ever seen it bloom. Among the Perun people, the color is associated with a specific date - July 7 and is endowed with magic, believing that only on this day does it bloom its petals. According to legend, the bud of a fern flower has an elongated shape and resembles a spark. It is bright, so it drives away animals, and the flowering period is reduced to one day. Since it is quite difficult to find a bud that is hidden, the fern flower that wore the amulet was considered endowed with insight, protection, and prosperity. Luck accompanied him all his life while he kept the amulet with him. Slavic philosophy also added the properties of wish fulfillment. Many residents used the fern flower as an amulet. True, everyone could not do this, since the symbol only helped good plans that did not harm others.
The belief about the origin of the Slavs is very romantic. Perun's brother fell in love with a girl not from his class. They were not destined to be together, but after their union, which fell on the day of the equinox, two children were born. In honor of the event, Perun presented brother Semargl with a fern flower of extraordinary beauty. He made dreams come true that seemed unattainable.
Origin story
There is a legend that in ancient times love arose between the goddess Bathing Suit and the guardian of the solar throne, Semargl. God Perun himself came to the children born in this wonderful union with congratulations and brought as a gift for good luck a branch of a fern plant, which he endowed with powerful properties and energetic strength that allows them to develop endurance and patience.
After this gift was given, all the ferns growing on the earth began to bloom once a year, giving a beautiful-looking flower. This happens in the summer on the birthday of the children of Kupalnitsa and Semargl.
Features of the fern flower symbol
Due to the fact that most people were unable to find the desired plant, the Slavs created their own sign that corresponded to the properties of the amulet. Perun's color is often called solar. It has the power of the sun and protects the wearer from evil, bringing life to the owner. The power of the symbol is so great that it can protect the entire family from adversity. Everyone had things in their house with the image of the Sun. The power of the plant was associated with the thunder god Perun. He is the main one in the religion of the Slavic people and he was worshiped and feared most of all. Since Perun possessed the power of thunder and fire, he could give gifts quite well. The fire gave the owner of the amulet strength, activity and perseverance to approach the goal. The amulet also saved from illnesses, hid from the evil eye and brought treasures as a gift.
The difference between Perunov's color and overpowering grass
There is another color amulet similar to Perun’s – Overcome grass. Very often these two symbols are confused, since one symbol is a mirror image of the other, but their meaning and significance are somewhat different. Thus, the sign of Perun is primarily aimed at developing spiritual internal qualities, and Odolen grass forms protection against bodily diseases and strengthens physical health. In all other respects, both symbols have similar meanings.
Who can wear a fern flower amulet?
Fern flower
The symbol of the fern flower is universal. It is suitable for both men and women. The amulet can be called a family amulet. The activity of the sign of the ancient Slavs will force household members to fulfill personal responsibilities, not be lazy, and develop spiritually and physically. Therefore, students and professors often use the symbol of the sun as a carrier of knowledge. The plant will drive gambling people crazy, as it is ready to do anything to achieve its goal. Risk lovers should protect themselves from such a symbol. If you are already bored with everything in this life or have lost its meaning, then he will help you find a goal to strive for. The amulet motivates well, lifts you out of depression and inspires. A fern flower will serve a creative person and a military man very well, and will also increase the power of a magician. The only reservations are risk and anger towards the other. The talisman will not help a negative person, but, on the contrary, will turn everything against him. You should not use such symbolism in black magic.
Nowadays, everyone wears jewelry with a fern flower, but previously it was predominantly worn by men. After looking at history, you can see that battles for territory and religion happened all the time, so self-confidence and courage should be possessed by every young man.
Jewelry with fern flower amulet
The most common type of protection against evil spirits was wearing an amulet. It was made of stone or metal, wood or silver. Since a person without money could not afford to make a talisman, the leaves of the plant were simply dried and sewn into a bag. It came into contact with the owner’s body throughout the day and cleansed it of negativity. Previously, any object acquired the energy of its owner through the ritual of revival. The talisman was hidden under the pillow and left there overnight. In the morning, the owner took the object in his palm and talked to it about his desires. Goals need to be formulated clearly enough so that the talisman will help achieve results in the future.
Symbols on fabric
Believers paid great attention to what they wore. Patterns with the theme of a fern flower were placed on clothes. They embroidered towels and scarves. Images could be painted with paints and applied using threads. Cotton and linen should be used as materials. The craftsman who made the outfit had to make the seam precisely so that there were no gaps, stitches or snags. The pattern was considered magical when it had an ideal structure, and was also sewn by blood relatives. The spouses were not blood relatives of each other. Sewing clothes took time. During it, not only pieces of fabric were sewn together and an ornament was applied, but the energy of the master and the future owner was also united.
Sewing instructions
Embroidery
The application of a pattern to fabric was clearly structured and had a set of symbols and rules. One of them was observing the calendar. The sewing process necessarily coincided with the setting of the moon. When the master wanted the wearer to get rid of his addiction to alcohol, he applied the symbolism of Svarog; if the person had difficulty seeing, then cornflowers were sewn on. Children’s clothes always had a drawing of an animal on them, and spruce branches meant longevity, oak cured lung diseases, and hops protected the family.
The meaning of flowers in the ornament
Since the embroidery patterns were made in different shades, their symbolism was given a special meaning. The bright palette, reminiscent of a flame, scared away traitors and infidels and preserved the marriage. The shade of green attracted wealth and prosperity. Blue and purple protected the owner from hostility. Black as a symbol of space helped with conception.
Tattoo on the body
You should approach getting a tattoo seriously, since the energy of the sign is strong. If your thoughts are impure or have the purpose of fraud, then you should not spoil your body with this symbol. Now, of course, you can remove a tattoo that you don’t like, but you shouldn’t waste your time or even try. The Slavic amulet will act exactly the opposite and will only bring harm to such a person. If your thoughts are pure, then the fern flower will protect you from evil and help in curing diseases.
Fern Flower Tattoo
Men tattoo the sign on their chests and arms as an indicator of wealth and masculinity, while women prefer the image of a leaf. It looks sleeker and looks great on the owner's back. The leaf indicates a woman’s loneliness and helps to find happiness. A vertical image has more power.
Can I keep it at home?
A living fern bush is shrouded in magical energy, which can serve you as a home or garden plant.
But there are some contradictions about the benefits of flowers in the home. Facts about the flower say that it causes headaches. This is true, since to ensure viability the plant needs oxygen, which it consumes in the dark.
The correct location will save you from such problems and help you use the flower for your benefit. Place the plant in the living room, kitchen or loggia, where household members and guests visit mainly during the day.
Finding the plant near electrical appliances works for you: the flower absorbs radiation, thereby working as a purifier not only of magical negative energy.
Reviving the amulet
In order for an object to gain strength and become faithful to its owner, it must be tied and energy exchanged. The meaning is associated with Perun; Thursday was considered his day. Calculate the new moon to fall on a given day and prepare. Clear your head, wash, replace your clothes with fresh ones. The standard ritual for charging an object in Slavic customs was the use of natural elements. The procedure took place mainly in nature, in a place hidden from prying eyes.
Elements of water and fire
Traditionally, Slavic purification of an object through flame is considered. A candle or fire is suitable for this. The thing should be held over the fire, at this time relax and remove everything extraneous from your head. When you feel that the amulet is charged, hide it for a day. An alternative to a fire is the Sun. The beams are also capable of charging an object, although the process takes longer.
Water is suitable for cleaning the amulet. It is better to use a source that does not stand still. His energy will pass through the object and take all the evil with it. Magicians like to use water from rain for purification, as it is as pure as possible and contains the power of thunder.
Elements of air and earth
In order for the amulet to receive air energy, it is enough to place it in an open place where the wind blows. Do not use city streets with dirt, gas and dust for such actions. You will need to go out into nature, preferably into the forest near the river, where the air is clean and the wind gusts are stronger. Wait until the energy of the item mixes with the air energy and charges.
The earth imparts energy to an object directly through the soil. Bury a fern flower for a day (night) and take it out in the morning. Do not wash off the remaining soil immediately. You can simply blow on the item and wipe the item.
The energy of thought was used together with nature. The amulet was clutched in the palm of your hand or placed under the pillow. The owner lay down at night and thought about his goals. In the morning the amulet was put on and never taken off.
The amulet is quite versatile. He is responsible for harmony in the family, protection from diseases and the evil eye, victory in battles and disputes, helps insecure people find wealth and take risks. Representatives of both sexes can wear the jewelry, despite the fact that the Kolovrat is a male symbol. Depending on which part you decorate with the amulet, as well as what exactly will be depicted on it and in what color, the power of the item will change. Choose an amulet purely for yourself, your intentions and character. Think positively, then the energy of the sun will definitely help you achieve your goal.
