General information about Slavic amulets

There is a number of general information about Slavic amulets:

1. In ancient times, they were a way to lay the foundations of existence and worldview by combining elementary geometric shapes.
2. In the form of some of them there is a connection with ancient Indian and even ancient Sumerian symbols.
3. In addition to solar ones, amulets contain images that signify the moon and all natural elements.
4. The design of many talismans is very reminiscent of a swastika, and as you know, such a sign repeats the Milky Way and human DNA. This fact could mean (and scientists are inclined to believe this) that the ancient Rusichi possessed deep knowledge that modern man did not comprehend.
5. Initially, wood or bones of killed animals served as materials for making home amulets. Such an amulet gave the owner the power of nature or the beast. Later, metals, including precious ones, began to be used.
6. Today, silver amulets are widely used. This noble material with a rich history is believed to repel evil spirits and provide strong protection.

How to choose an amulet?

Slavic amulets and amulets< are selected individually. The ancient people did not have a universal symbol, like the cross in Christianity, that would suit every person. An exception is the sign of the Valkyrie. It was worn by men and women for protection. But even this talisman has different effects on representatives of the opposite sexes. For women, the symbol helps protect their family and home from adversity; for men, it gives strength and protects them in battle.

Slavic amulets need to be selected according to their meaning. An object that is beautiful in appearance is just a spectacular accessory. In order for the symbol to work and fulfill its functions, it is necessary to understand the classification. A person who is serious about purchasing a talisman needs at least basic knowledge about them.

Tips for choosing Slavic amulets and amulets:

• Approach the issue thoughtfully. Before purchasing a talisman, you need to read the information and study the properties. In addition to the characteristics of the symbol, the metal is also important. In terms of protection and practicality, the optimal solution would be to choose silver. If there are budget restrictions, other materials are also suitable, for example, bronze, silver-plated metal. It is worth purchasing products with magical symbols in specialized stores. Poorly and inaccurately applied symbols will not bring the expected message.
• Trust your intuition. Internal sensations play an important role when choosing a talisman. It is better to rely on intuition in combination with knowledge about the meaning of a particular symbol. You can get advice from a specialist. To check the energy emanating from the amulet, you need to hold it in your hand. A suitable amulet will make you feel warm.
• Track changes. After wearing the product for a while, evaluate whether it performs its intended functions. The purpose of the Slavic amulet is protection. If the negative influence is not neutralized, most likely the amulet was chosen incorrectly. Darkening of the decoration indicates a negative influence from the outside. Perhaps you were envied or even damaged. By developing and improving on a spiritual level, a person can help the talisman fulfill its task.

The action of the amulet depends on whether it is charged correctly and on time. Jewelry that is not endowed with energy is an ordinary accessory. In ancient times, talismans were charged by the Magi - magical priests who had the necessary skills. A modern person can turn to a bioenergetics specialist or do the ritual himself. Slavic symbols are closely related to nature. Recharge from the elements is the best way to charge a talisman that does not require knowledge of magical practices.

Embodies the origins of the universe, the central point and axis of the world in the personification of the entire family tree. In the Slavic faith, he is assigned a place in the center of the world, in the middle of the sea on a small island.

Important! The foliage reaches to the sky, and gods and angels are located in the crown. Its roots are hidden deep in the earth, in the underworld, where demons and demons live.

Which Slavic amulets are most suitable for children?

The amulets Pelenashka and Rodovik are most suitable for protecting children.

Pelenashka

A diaper is a small doll in the shape of a baby wrapped in several layers of fabric. The purpose is to protect the child from the evil eye, to take on negative energy. The Slavs believed that a newborn was very vulnerable and evil spirits could harm the baby.

It is customary to describe the diaper and make it faceless so that evil forces cannot move into the amulet doll.

Rodovik

This amulet is associated with the god Rod. It helps the child grow up honest and open, and choose the right path in life. The amulet contains the wisdom of the ancestors, which it shares with its young “master”.

The ancient Slavs did not use this sign for military items: armor and weapons, since Rodovik is not a symbol capable of destruction.

Magic talismans

Our ancestors attributed magical properties to the Fern Flower amulet, believing that it was endowed with unprecedented healing capabilities even from fatal diseases. In order for the amulet not to lose its magical qualities, it must be regularly carried over a candle flame.

We have already written that Slavic dolls bring happiness, protect from evil people, and help on long journeys. Many of my readers have already learned how to make such amulets.

It’s a good idea to learn how to embroider ancient Slavic symbols. Embroidery is also a protector from various troubles. It was not for nothing that ancient women embroidered shirts for warriors when they sent them on a campaign.

It turns out that in order to protect oneself from the evil eye, the house from unkind people, evil spirits, they embroidered “Chur” - the god of protection. This is very reliable protection for your home. Even in childhood, everyone said: “Fuck me!”, defending themselves from an attack. Here's an effective escape from negativity.

DIY Tips

It is believed that the most effective and powerful are talismans made by oneself, because... in the process of creation, a strong connection arises between a person and the amulet. Such an amulet does not even require cleansing and activation.

You can start creating a talisman only with a calm soul and pure, joyful thoughts. If you feel anger, resentment, irritation, then your product will absorb this energy.

Selection of materials

The most affordable material for making your own amulet is wood. You can quickly burn or carve a sacred rune onto the medallion.

Silver amulets are more popular and durable. This metal drives away evil spirits, blocks negative energy, thereby enhancing the properties of the talisman.

Symbols can be embroidered on a shirt or other item of clothing.

Rules of care

In order for amulets to remain effective and provide assistance, they need to be properly cared for:

1. If you remove the talisman at night, it is better to put it on the bedside table or under the pillow. This way the energy connection between you will not be broken.
2. The amulet is stored in a box made of oak, linden or aspen wood separately from other jewelry and hidden in a secluded place.
3. There is a category of talismans that need to be disposed of after they have served their purpose. You can't just throw away artifacts. The amulet must be thanked, a farewell ritual performed, and then burned.

You cannot give your amulet to someone - it must have only 1 owner.

A little from the history of ancient Slavic symbols

Charms help protect against damage and the effects of black magic and achieve success.
According to archaeologists and historians, the first runes were an attempt by man to understand and describe the secrets of the universe. Slavic patterns combine ancient hieroglyphs, elements of Sumerian writing, and Scandinavian characters.

Over time, the drawings turned into amulets capable of protecting and giving courage. They were used to communicate with higher powers.

What it is?

The amulet is recognized as a magical element that protects a person from evil and troubles. It protects its owner from:

• unclean eye;
• black envy;
• targeted negative impact (damage, love spell).

The widespread use of amulets began in Rus', then they were created with their own hands, protective spells or prayers were read. Used for personal protection and home security. Men carved amulets from wood, and women embroidered protection on white fabrics.

The amulet is part of the owner’s thought form; the more energy he gives, the stronger the energy radiation that changes space. The protection, which bears symbols of ancestors, gods, natural elements and totemic spirits, purposefully interacts with the owner.

For example, protection from the evil eye does not help in moments of black envy. The universal amulet is used in everyday life, often aimed at:

• general protection from negativity;
• removing obstacles;
• attracting good luck.

It is created in the form of a pendant, ring or embroidered on clothing.

The amulet is made of metal, wood and stone, which a person imparts with energy. It is shaped into jewelry, such as a pendant, ring, bracelet, or embroidered on a separate fabric or small item. The main advantage of the amulet is its protection; it can be either natural or artificial.

Nuances of use

The amulet is often made in the form of a pendant. You need to wear it under your clothes (so that the talisman is in constant contact with the skin), hiding it from the eyes of others. Do not allow other people to touch the product, as it quickly absorbs a person's energy.

Charging and activation

For the amulet to start working, it must be activated and charged with positive energy. The ritual is recommended to be performed during the waxing moon.

If possible, you need to go to a forest or park, find a secluded place near a stream or any other body of water and light a small fire. First you should pray, remove all metal jewelry, and let your hair down.

The amulet must be raised above your head so that the wind blows on it from all sides, then sprinkled with earth, and then lowered into the water. The amulet should be dried over the flame of a fire.

Cleaning

Immediately after purchase (before activation), the amulet must be cleared of the energy of other people who touched it. This can be done with:

• fire - hold the talisman several times over the flame of a fire or candle;
• earth - dig a small hole, place the product there, sprinkle it and leave it overnight;
• water - immerse the amulet in a spring water or hold it for several minutes under the tap;
• salt - place the talisman in a deep bowl, cover with salt and leave overnight;
• incense - fumigate with the smoke of burning cedar or sage.

Cleaning must be repeated every 2-3 months, because... Over time, the product accumulates negative energy.

Svarog circle

The ancient Slavs did not use a horoscope, but a circle called Svarozhiy. It includes 16 palaces, which are given their own names and have their own patrons and talismans. Often the characteristics of a person coincide with the characteristics of the Zodiac.

Many people are interested in whether it is possible to wear a talisman together with a cross . Christianity is against having another symbol next to the Orthodox cross.

Dear readers, the amulets of the Slavic peoples are not decoration, but a return to one’s roots, adherence to traditions, and knowledge of one’s culture. This must be remembered and understood!
