Many hundreds of years ago, people living on earth honored and respected every plant, animal and all living things in general. They could talk and understand all living beings. For the ancient Slavs, the tree not only breathed, but also spoke, for Rod, the supreme god, often took the form of a plant. But besides this, divine power transmitted through branches that became amulets.

By creating amulets and talismans, the Slavs understood that the deity bestowed their grace on them and prolonged their lives. Slavic wooden or plant amulets could protect against evil spirits. But it is better to study all the meanings and divisions of amulets for men or Slavic amulets for women from their photos. This way you can see every detail. This will be useful for making your own talisman. Since each curl will attract either good luck, or if absent, it will bring trouble for the owner.

Meanings of amulets

Old Slavic amulets are not just metal plaques or branches. This is an opportunity to stand under the protection of deities. Their powers include protection from evil and unkind people, from illness and from death. But this is not the entire list of possibilities. Vedic symbols on Slavic amulets carry a secret meaning. And their meaning changes depending on the introduction of new elements into them.

One dash or new symbols in the image, and the amulets take on a different meaning, their interpretation and meaning changes radically. Although the descriptions will be similar.

Do not forget that the Slavic gods were of different sexes. This means that talismans exist for women and men. Putting a male sign on a girl meant taking on the role of head of the family, getting food, and keeping an eye on everyone. At the same time, they were not completely deprived of their femininity. The woman looked like a female person in appearance, but her character and habits were masculine. Therefore, this cannot be allowed. Only Rod and his wife Lada could bestow generosity and prosperity to everyone without exception.

For men and their Slavic amulets, an important role was played not only by the description and purpose, but also by what the talisman was made of. If you want to be resistant to all the problems that fate has in store for you, then definitely a stone or a mineral. Wooden - softness and development of intellectual abilities or craft. What the metal symbolized was skills in the art of war, hunting, management.

Russians are similar to Varangian symbols. Because both cultures have similar interests and concerns. But the Vikings preferred metal products more. This is due to their warlike nature. Even the gods had several worlds, in one of them there lived good deities responsible for intellect and reason, in the second world - warlike ones. There were more of them. The third world is monsters who want to win and take over the whole world and humanity. Therefore, most of the Varangians were warriors, but not artisans.

In the Russian version, the symbols on the amulets indicated more that it was necessary to think, to protect oneself from magical influences, and to know ways to protect oneself from harm. And all their meanings boiled down to the fact that family, land and motherland need protection and care. There was a certain number of amulets that protected only artisans:

• plowmen and grain growers;
• hunters;
• blacksmiths;
• midwives and so on.

Not everyone could wear such signs and types of amulets. Only the sorceress, or as the village caretakers used to call them, pointed out who would be the next plowman. There were also Magi - special people who lived away from everyone. People came to them for advice and to find their talisman, for treatment and removal of damage. The Magi were able to communicate with all the gods, but only Rod or one of his sons gave them the gift. They had disciples to whom they handed over the staff of power over the world. The prince and all the people of Kievan Rus listened to their opinion.

Everyone knew the meaning of their talismans and amulets - strength, power, protection of all living things, the ability to perform magical actions.

Types of Slavic amulets

The amulets of the Slavs had divisions, types and even subtypes. Sometimes they were allowed to be combined, but most used in urgent need. So today we know about:

• protective (from evil, sorcerer, black eye and others);
• family;
• children's;
• only for women;
• men's;
• for procreation and health;
• magical (meaning those who give knowledge in magic)

amulets and amulets, talismans. To this we add the selected material for the product. The next point is what need arose for this or that symbol. The more dangers, the stronger the protection chosen.

There are universal ancient Slavic amulets that provide the granting of all points except magical abilities and secret knowledge.

Genus

The deity who created all life in the universe is Rod. He provides strength and protection to everyone without exception. Pagan pictures and emblems, amulets and talismans belonging to the supreme being were applied everywhere:

• on dishes and clothes;
• on the walls of houses and wooden plaques;
• were carved on metal pendants (the most suitable option is silver), but they were made for men. For women, embroidery was enough.

Alatyr

Not all ancient Slavic amulets or amulets are capable of protecting against any misfortune and magical influence. Become a kind of reflector. treat them as such. This sign was also applied to everything, like the symbol of the Family. In addition, Alatyr healed a person. Not only from physical illness, but also mental illness. At the same time, the amulet removed laziness and apathy, bestowed aspirations and hope, personal and family happiness. Do you want to achieve your cherished goal, make your dream come true? Then choose this sign for yourself. A shield from the evil eye and damage, from troubles and dashing people will help you recover from any blow and become strong physically and spiritually. In addition to the amulet, there is also a rune of the same name. It also symbolizes strength in everything: relationships, love, work.

Molvinets

Third in terms of uniqueness and versatility is . Among the Old Believers, such Old Believer symbols-amulets could be applied from wood even to a baby in the form of embroidery on a bed sheet. Molvinets protects against damage, evil, the evil eye and dark sorcerers. It will repel verbal and magical attacks and will not allow you to cripple. It could be combined with any other amulet. Another thing that can be added in favor of the amulet is that by putting the sign on a child or teenager, the parent will ensure the child’s development of mental and physical abilities. If you have problems with sleep, speech or health, then soon after you put them on, changes for the better will become noticeable. What types of Slavic amulets are suitable for everyone? Of course, family ones. Moreover, after the collapse of Kievan Rus, amulets and their meanings were preserved in all Slavic peoples. And everyone considers them theirs.

For example, Belarusian amulets are identical to Russian ones, but are used more as ornaments on clothes. Metal or wooden ones have been preserved in Russia.

Who should wear it

Slavic amulets were previously a necessity for our ancestors. Without them, no rituals, celebrations or feasts could be performed. The presence of a sacred image indicated that the owner respects and appreciates the protection of natural forces and deities. Literally about five or six years ago, respect for the traditions of our people began to return. But since they lost a significant part of the knowledge connecting the two worlds: Kievan Rus and modern Slavs, few people know the meaning of symbols and the purpose of talismans. This is where difficulties arise with the choice and ability to wear. If a fenichka amulet or an Old Slavic cross (meaning protection of eight gods) can be worn by everyone and combined with all other amulets, then the Old Slavic symbolism of amulets intended for warriors or hunters does not make sense for a woman or a child. They will not help and will not give them any care. Therefore, you need to know how to choose a Slavic amulet for yourself:

If you are not ready for such changes (to accept even partially the faith of your ancestors), then it’s better not to start. Why arrange a test for those who are capable of optimally punishing and bestowing all the benefits (Slavic deities).

The Slavic amulet intended for the fair sex is very different in its purpose. Ancestors respected and valued women, because they are the bearers of offspring. Therefore, in the women's arsenal, literally everything had protective signs, and not just jewelry: embroidery, household items, pendants and clothing items. Accordingly, combinations were allowed. For example, Slavic amulets for beauty and amulets for protecting the household. Or all Slavic girls embroidered talismans for procreation (the opportunity to have children and get married successfully). The photo shows only the main women's Slavic amulets with their meanings, but this is not the entire list for a girl.

Representatives of the fair half of humanity had more symbols not because they were weaker in strength or endurance. The thing is that much more responsibility falls on fragile shoulders: to save the family, raise children, ensure comfort at home and order in the household. But besides this, they must be beautiful and healthy. If a woman could not have children, then this was considered a punishment for misconduct.

It was very difficult to atone for such sins. To prevent the girl from making mistakes, she was given a large number of protective signs from birth. The Slavic amulets, which signify the protection of Lada, the wife of Rod, were of greatest value. The lucky girl and owner of the Star of Lada was protected by a talisman that gave her everything that a real woman should have. One might even say she became an ideal for the opposite sex. An image of Makosh and Rozhanitsa was always added to the Star. Both symbols also gave the girl the ability to run a household quickly and well. Usually, such housewives had the matter in their hands. So that all three signs carry more positive energy, and the charming woman becomes more and more like an ideal, symbols were embroidered on her from the moment of birth. The greatest strength They had amulets and talismans if they were not passed down by inheritance, but were made specifically for one person.

For men

Slavic amulets for men were also given from the moment of birth. Despite his physical strength, every man requires protection, love and guardianship. To protect the boy from slander and problems, to give him greater strength and health, to give confidence and to develop mental abilities - these are the purposes of the Russian amulets. On the embroideries of Ancient Rus', as well as on the female gender, there were elements and symbols of the Family, Lada, and Perun. But if a man’s amulet carried clear information about the craft, then it is rare to find it on things or tools. After all, it meant that a person is a master of his craft and received the gift of becoming a blacksmith, hunter or warrior not only according to his heart, but also because the gods decided so.

Slavic men's amulets appearance differed from women's in form and meaning. Svarog's hammer was worn by warriors, and the Vseslavets amulet meant good luck in family life, peace and understanding. Having such a symbol, the husband became the guardian of the peace and well-being of the family. At the same time, the sign is compatible with all other generic, family talismans. On her husband's clothes, the wife embroidered any Slavic amulet for men, which carried protection not only from the spells of witchcraft, but also signs that brought good luck in battle, hunting and in the field. This is Svarga.

Amulets for home

Slavic amulets for the home served not only the function of guarding everyone living under one roof. They provided coziness and comfort, health and warded off misfortunes, disasters and poverty. What do you mean by family? Everyone has their own answer. Our ancestors argued that family means respect and honor for all members without exception, and not just for one. The woman was treated with special honor.

An excellent Slavic symbol of the family was the Roda tree, combining the three main forces of the universe. Images of Rod, Lada and Belobog (Slavic signs of prosperity, do not have negative energy) hung and painted the home. Ornaments and patterns can be found on antique household items, clothing, and pictures on the wall. After all, the word “family” means that the amulet will protect each family member even from a distance.

How to charge

All Slavic amulets or amulets, regardless of their meaning (they are protective or a talisman of health, beauty or wisdom) need to be cleansed and charged. Their duties include providing protection to a person from evil people and pagan spirits. What does it mean to charge or clear? This is in no way removing the design or applying it again. Each amulet has its own patron and natural power. Even the strongest Slavic amulet needs to be recharged by the energy flows of the spirits of Fire or Air, Water or Earth. The image of nature is on all amulets. Therefore, before engaging in all the necessary procedures, thoroughly study the amulet, and only then proceed to cleaning and recharging.

The most powerful requires the strength of all four elements. What sign is this? Of course, the symbol of the Family is in the form of a tree, as well as the Star of Lada.

With your own hands

Frequently asked question for all connoisseurs Slavic culture only one: “Is it possible to create a talisman with your own hands?” The answer is simple: “It’s not only possible, but also necessary.” As a rule, this is done by a woman. After all, it was she who became the guardian of the family and all its members. A Slavic amulet for a man, child or family is embroidered on clothes, put on the arm in the form of weaving knots, and drawn on the walls of the house and utensils. When creating protective equipment for women, a number of rules should be remembered:

• be positive;
• understand written signs;
• ensure the correctness of the drawing and its elements;
• Don’t forget to charge and clean not only the signs every month, but also all items that perform a protective function.
