Slavic rune has meaning. What power and meaning are hidden in the symbols of the ancient runes of the Slavs

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

Peace

Key words: Belbog; inner self; World tree

The rune Mir is a symbol of Belobog, one of the most complex images in Slavic mythology. In the Germanic Futhark, this rune is named Madr or Mannaz - Man. Also in the Germanic Futhark, this rune means life. In the older Futhark, this rune has a different smsl (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 Heaven.

The rune of Belboga symbolizes the inner, divine in nature, the I of man; that part of it that keeps the enduring Knowledge and enduring Life; what belongs to Heaven.

Also, that the second meaning of the word "peace" in the Slavic languages ​​is community, society, Rod.

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

In the Germanic runic ranks, the content of the Belbog rune is partly conveyed by the runes Mannaz and Algiz; 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 lot is to guard the limits of the gods from the invasions of the Forces of Chaos.

Chernobog

Key words: Shadow; Morok; Inverted World Tree

The rune of Chernobog is a deity that forms a dual pair with Belbog. If the rune Mir represents the forces that strive for the whole world, then the rune Chernobog 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, forever fighting the Guardian of Order and forever violating the boundaries defined by the gods of Order. In relation to a person, the rune of Chernobog represents the Shadow. Jung very well described the essence of this God: the archetype of the unconscious that eternally 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: the destruction of old ties, a breakthrough of the magic circle, an exit from any closed system.

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

Alatyr

Keywords: Azy, beginnings; Greatness; World Mountain;

Runa Alatyr - the rune of the beginning of the Universe; the rune of the beginning and end of everything. This is what the struggle of Belbog and Chernobog revolves around, the cycle of struggle between the forces of Order and Chaos; it is the law of Equilibrium and reversion; it is the stone that lies at the base of the World. The eternal circulation of events and their immobile 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 the 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 magic altar - the stone on which the sacrifice is performed - is the essence of the 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 the endless Path leading to Alatyr; the path determined by the unity and struggle of the forces of Belbog and Chernobog, Fire and Water.

The Road to Tradition is more than just movement in space and time. The road is a special state, which is equally different from vanity and rest; it is a state of movement between Order and Chaos, a state of transition. This Road has no beginning or end, but there is a source and there is a result ... The ancient formula "do what you must, and what will be" could serve as the "motto" of this rune.

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

In the Germanic runic ranks, this rune is fully consistent with the rune Ride, whose name also means "Road", "Travel".

Need

Keywords: Inevitability; Fate.

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

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

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

In the Germanic runic ranks, this rune corresponds to the Naud rune, whose name also means "Need".

Krada

Keywords: Fire; Verb; Embodiment; Truth

The Slavic word "steal" means sacrificial fire. The rune of Krada is a rune of fire, akin to the Germanic runes of Gebo and Kano, for fire is a gift from the gods and a power that embodies the divine in the Middle World. This is the rune of aspiration and the embodiment of aspirations, which means it is 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 disclosure of this plan to the World, and therefore the rune of the Krada is also the rune of disclosure, the rune of the loss of the external, superficial - that which burns up in the fire of sacrifice.

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

Treba

Keywords: The firmness of the Spirit; Warrior; Victim

Like the similar German rune Teivaz, 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. Once 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 impose on him the strongest fetters made especially for that. 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 put his hand in the Wolf's mouth as a pledge of this. And when the Wolf was chained, he bit off Tyr's hand - but victory over Chaos was achieved.

Sacrifice, without which the embodiment of intention is impossible 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 the sacrifice of oneself. And the Warrior of the Spirit is the one who, on the Road to Alatyr, with the light fire of sacrifice, conquers the dark shackles of consciousness and, freeing himself from them, accepts Initiation and Power.

Power

Keywords: Power; Knowledge; Integrity

Strength is the property of the 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 crushes both the World and consciousness itself in a human event, the rune of Power is at the same time a rune of unity, integrity, the achievement of which is one of the results of movement along the Road. And it is also the rune of Victory, for the Warrior of the Spirit gains Strength only by defeating himself, only having managed to break the shackles of consciousness, only by sacrificing himself external for the sake of liberating himself internal, his true divine Self.

The magical meaning of this rune is directly related to its definitions as the runes of victory, the runes of power and the runes of integrity. The Rune of Power can impel a person or a situation to Victory and gain integrity, can help clarify an unclear situation and push to the right decision.

In the Germanic rune ranks, the rune of Power is answered by the rune Sieg (Soul) of the Elder Futhark.

Wind

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

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

In the sacred Tradition, the Wind is a stable image of a 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 a person, his divine I.

So, at the level of magic, the Wind rune symbolizes the Power-Wind and the inner magic circle; on the emotional level - inspiration, creative rage (Scandal odr, where the Scandinavian name Veles comes from - Odin); at the event level - the divine Game, all those endlessly tied to each other, but seemingly random, events reflecting the eternal dance of Shiva-Veles ...

Bereginya

Keywords: Birch; Fate; Mother; Land; Makosh

Bereginya in the Slavic Tradition is a female mythological image associated with protection and motherhood; in archaic antiquity, Makosh, the Mother Goddess, appeared under the name Beregini. Therefore, the rune Beregini is the rune of the Mother Goddess, who knows both earthly fertility and the fate 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 when the time comes. And with equal rightness one can call the rune of Beregini the rune of Life and the rune of Death, for both the Heavenly Mother (Scandal Frigg), who spins the threads of fate, and the Underground Mother (Scandal Hel), ruling the kingdom of the dead, are the essence of the hypostasis of the same Goddess.

This rune is the rune of Fate, as it is understood in the Nordic Tradition. And also a rune of wealth and goodness, since the goddess Makosh is the wife (read: female hypostasis) of the god Veles. And just like the rune of Wind, the rune of Beregini is a rune of power - but this is a completely different force: the heavy and mighty force of the Earth, with which the very image of the Great Goddess is associated ... centers of a person, then the power of Bereginya - with the lower ...

Only in part, the meaning of the Beregini rune is transmitted by the Germanic rune of Berkan.

Oud

Keywords: Yar; Love; Youth; Fire; Yarovit

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

Runa Ud 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 the Scandinavian name is Balder. Runa Ud embodies his strength - Yar, what makes men masculine and women feminine. It is not only the fiery power of love, but also the passion for life in general, the power that unites opposites, fertilizing the emptiness of Chaos ...

In the Germanic runes, the rune Ud corresponds to the runes of Uruz and, in part, Inguz.

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 lala ("child, girl"), cherish and so on, up to the Sanskrit lila - "game". Both the young goddess Lelia, the sister of Yarovita, and her rune are associated with the element of water, and more specifically, with living, flowing water flowing in springs and streams.

In the Nordic Tradition, this is the Goddess of Strength, who leads, just as she leads a stream of water. We meet her under different names 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 rune of Leli is the rune of intuition, knowledge-out-of-reason, the Force leading in the wandering-search, as well as spring awakening and fertility, flowering and joy.

In the Germanic runic ranks, this rune corresponds to the rune Laguz and, in part, to Vuno.

Rock

Keywords: Spirit; Unmanifest; Unknowable; Rock

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

There is no point in talking about it - it only makes sense to feel. 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, Orleg is not a deity, not a law, not even a predestination, it is simply - All-That-Is ...

When fortune-telling, the fallen rune of Doom will indicate that higher, unknowable forces are entering into action, 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.

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

Support

Keywords: Gods; Homeland; Pillar; Col and Colo

This is the rune of the foundations of the Universe; rune of the gods. It is the pillars, pillars of the World that the gods are worshiped 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 that encompasses it, are signified 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 are also gods, since it is from them that the shaman draws strength for his journey. And the circle that encircles it is a circle in which the existence of people who worship their gods takes place; this is the Motherland, the heritage of the ancestors.

In fortune-telling, the rune of the Support can mean the support of the gods and gods, the acquisition of a solid foundation, fortitude and strength of position.

In the Elder Futhark, some 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 light Dazhdbog, symbolizing good in all senses of the word: from material wealth to the joy that accompanies true love. The most important attribute of this god, whom the Scandinavians revered under the name of Freyr, and the Celts under the name of Dagda, is a cornucopia or, in a more ancient form, a cauldron of inexhaustible benefits. The stream of gifts flowing from this sacred cauldron as an inexhaustible river is represented by the rune of Dazhdbog.

In fortune-telling layouts, the rune means the 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 rune of Dazhdbog is closest to the Elder runes of Fe and Yer; in addition, some aspects of its meaning correspond to the Inguz, Gebo and Dagaz runes.

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 power, power, male straightforwardness and vitality.

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

In the Elder Futhark, the rune Turisaz approaches the meaning of the rune of Perun more than others, although there is no complete correspondence between them.

There is

Keywords: Nature; A life; Motion

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

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

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

Source

Keywords: Ice; Non-movement; The 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 immobility. According to some versions of northern legends, the World arose from a single hailstone - an ice grain.

When divining the rune of the 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 force of movement and development (signified by the rune Is) - just as, however, movement includes potential stagnation and freezing ...

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

Slavic runes as the alphabet of the Gods and the most ancient way of communicating with them and among themselves have long ceased to cause controversy among historians and experts in the Russian Veda. Moreover, to our great joy and the general Power of the People, the Native Memory is reviving every day, and the language of the Ancestors is learned by the Brothers and Descendants with the same great pleasure and interest as modern foreign languages.

And it doesn't even matter - who came first, the egg or the chicken. The Slavic and Aryan peoples initially had common roots and a common culture, and the Brothers always respected each other, their behavior, customs and traditions, and the descendants respected Veles in the guise of Odin or Odin in the Veles image. That is why many choose the alphabet and futark, which is easier and more understandable for them to use, as a tendency to speak in one language or another, or the use of certain folk dialects, as well as accents in sounds characteristic of a particular region.

Description of Slavic runes: interpretation of symbols and use in amulets

Slavic runes with meanings corresponding to the purpose were used in the creation of ornaments for embroidery of home amulets, the creation of household items: dishes, interior decorations, cult items, outer and lower clothing for men, women or children, towels and belts.

According to the translation of the Slavic runes on a shirt or shield of a person, one can understand both his belonging to the Family and the role in it, and also feel how strong his Faith and Protection of the Gods are. In ritual symbolism, the Slavic alphabet is also used very actively - the Veduns create real ligatures from runes, carrying, after proper activation and intention, a huge message and friendly interaction of Java, Navi and Prav.

Slavic runes are also used in the mantle - for effective diagnosis of the situation and layouts for the upcoming work, to identify the results of what has been done and forecasts for the future. Just like the Scandinavian, runes are applied to wooden or stone dies, direct and inverted values ​​are determined, and they are taken into account when interpreting. The reading of Slavic runes in one or another author's layout is carried out according to a certain system, but each rune is always an important proposal and a vivid image in a single, frank story of the Gods.

Addressing them before the beginning of the mantle and receiving favor increases the Power of the Family and cohesion, expresses the Spirit and Will, helps to realize the Future and prepare for this, sometimes changing the Path, having the opportunity to weave with Matthew-Makosh a happy Share in the Destiny of the Family.

1. Rune World

In the Slavic runic alphabet symbolizes the letter M
Main meanings: Belbog, the Tree of the World, inner self

Receiving help, answer, protection, understanding the situation, turning to Gods and receiving peace and blessings, rethinking and reassessing existing values. The rune will force an action not from the point of view of justice, but the concept of Good and Good itself. Therefore, never use it with negative influences or trying to turn the situation in your favor.

The world, the Belbog rune in the traditional Slavic representation is the image of God and Man as his embodiment in Reveal. The axis of the universe is the World Family Tree, and the spine is the skeleton of a person - that is the main thing that is the basis of the World. The Slavic rune itself symbolizes both the Tree growing up and a person with hands raised up. One of the main meanings of the word peace is a clan, society, community, in which there is certainly its own Order, which calls for observing the Laws.

In the Scandinavian Futhark, the meaning of the Slavic rune Mir is conveyed by two runes: Mannaz - as an image of a Man, personality and Algiz - as an image of God. The very image of BelBog is parallel to Heimdal, or White Ace. Like the Slavic White God, Heimdal protects the Limits from the forces of Chaos, is the main guardian of Order.

2. Rune Chernobog

In the Slavic rune alphabet, it symbolizes the letter C or C
Main meanings: Chernobog, inverted World Tree, shadow, jester

Translation and meaning of the Slavic rune: in contrast to Belbog, Chernobog is absolute evil. In order for a place to appear on the Path and in Life for something new, good, you need to destroy the old, unnecessary. Want a new love, get ready to lose past memories, etc. Chernobog and Belbog are two sides of Being, two sides of Equilibrium. Runes Mir (Belbog) and Chernobog together produce Rock, the rune of Fate. The meaning of the rune itself in translation: change and destruction, causing harm even for good purposes (for example, conducting an operation), double bottom, hidden presence and negative impact.

If Chernobog protects from the effects of Chaos and protects the world Order, then Chernobog connects us with the roads and forces of Chaos. However, it would be wrong to consider absolute evil only as a negative action or force, since a Man consists of good and evil, and the view of this or that action and its reasons will be completely different in different situations.

That is why the existence and interaction of Good and Evil is invariable in Nature and constantly strives for the Equilibrium of these centrifugal forces that affect the World itself.

The rune of Chernobog is the trickster god, the Jester and the Clown, who fights with the guardian of Order and violates the established Borders. In relation to a person, the rune is a shadow behind our left shoulder, which playfully leads us to tearing off masks and destroying illusions. In magic, Chernobog helps to resolve old unnecessary connections and break out of the vicious circle.

In the Scandinavian Futhark, the Chernobog rune finds great coincidences in the Hagalaz rune and, in part, in Perth. One of the images of Chernobog is the ubiquitous joker and destroyer Loki.

3. Runa Alatyr

In the Slavic runic alphabet symbolizes the letter A
Main Meanings: World Year, Holy Grail, Basics, Beginning, Greatness

Translation and meaning of the Slavic rune: Alatyr is the Beginning, the stumbling block around which the World revolves. Alatyr is everywhere and nowhere, it is light and heavy, it is both small and large. This is pure energy, magic - this is where Everything begins. The main meanings of the Alatyr rune are in strength, knowledge, opportunities. Cyclicity, stability, treatment, restoration, showing the way - opening up roads and perspectives.

In the Scandinavian futark there is not a single rune that fully conveys the meaning of Alatyr. Only to some extent can the rune of Hyera and Stan from the Northumbrian series of runes be compared.

Alatyr is the World Mountain, the center of the World. It is around Alatyr that the eternal struggle of Chernobog and Belbog takes place, the battles and clashes of the forces of Chaos and Order - the preservation of the law of balance. Alatyr, a foundation stone - a handful of land raised by the Gods from the bottom of Okiyan and transferred to Buyan-Ostrov into the open sea.

All rivers of the World originate under Alatyr and all roads begin. Magical altars for addressing the Rule and offering Treb is a symbolic image of the Alatyr-stone, which serves as a throne for the main Gods.

4. Rune Rainbow

In the Slavic runic alphabet symbolizes the letter P
Main meanings: Road and Joy, Victory and Success, Result

Translation and meaning of the Slavic rune: A rainbow is the shortest path from point A to point B, it is a heavenly bridge connecting the two banks of the river. This is a path, a journey, the maximum approximation of the desired, including with the help of magic, the intervention of the Gods. This is the establishment of contact and the joy of communication, a successful outcome of the event.

The road is a state of movement between Order and Chaos. The road has no beginning or end, but there is a Source, a Point of the first step and an End. The well-known motto "do what you must and be what will be" is an excellent illustration for the Rainbow rune. The rainbow path has a heart, and the rune leads to Alatyr. The trajectory of the path, the speed of movement and other parameters determine the eternal confrontation between the forces of Chernobog and Belbog, the harmonious effect of fire and water, light and darkness, day and night.

In the Scandinavian Futhark, the Alatyr rune corresponds in general meaning: the road, I travel to the Raido rune. However, the latter symbolizes the time in the journey, its very fact and the Path, sometimes a lifetime. It is impossible to stay on the Rainbow, because this path is opened by the Gods at a specific time for a specific purpose.

5. Rune of Need

In the Slavic runic alphabet symbolizes the letter H
Main meanings: Viy, Nav, Fate, Krivda, inevitability

Translation and meaning of the Slavic rune: it is a rune of hellfire, inflicting pain on those who deserve such a fate. In a positive sense, it is the recognition of their problems, needs and desires, whatever they may be. In the negative - pressure and coercion, difficulties, bondage, poverty, a bitter and difficult existence. An appeal to the rune is a connection with the dark face of Veles.

Need is the rune of Veles in the Image of Niy or otherwise Viy, the main God of the Lower World, Navi. Viy, a terrible god - his gaze burns all living things, but this fire does not give light and fetters in chains, it gives a feeling of hopelessness and emptiness. But sometimes this fire is needed to turn the road wheel in the direction you need. In magic, Need is a prohibition on any action or a prediction of material difficulties, bonds and chains of consciousness that cover the true reality of the universe.

In the Scandinavian Futhark, this Scandinavian rune corresponds to the meaning of Nautise.

6. Rune of Krad

In the Slavic rune alphabet symbolizes the letters G and K
Basic meanings: Truth, Fire, Incarnation, verb-action

Translation and meaning of the Slavic rune: Stealing is a sacrificial fire that is kindled for the Gods not only when burning the dead, but also when bringing demands, rituals and requests for advice or help in difficult matters. This fire burns, removes all unnecessary, interfering, cleans and opens the way. The most important meanings of Krada in work: deliverance, recognition, striving for the goal, knowledge and thirst to learn, gratitude and choice.

In the Scandinavian Futhark, this rune most closely matches Kveort. The same clear action is strong and irreversible, the same power of fire and the embodiment of Divine power and purpose. Fire is the gift of Gods to people, therefore, to some extent, the Scandinavian Kano and Gebo correspond to the meaning of the Slavic rune Krada. This is a rune of action, a verb - the embodiment of the goal and intentions. In magic, the Krada cleans channels, releases desires and helps to fulfill them.

7. Rune Treba

In the Slavic runic alphabet symbolizes the letter T
Main meanings: Warrior, sacrifice, fortitude

Translation and meaning of the Slavic rune: This is the rune of a warrior-wanderer on the road to the main thing - Alatyr. This is the rune of establishing your own rules, requirements and, if necessary, sacrifices. In the game, the rules are not broken. It is their observance, careful study and adherence to them that leads to victory.

However, every game and achievement of victory implies rivalry, battle, competition - war. Overcoming difficulties, goal, distribution of forces, their waste, achievements, skills, necessity - these are the main words that define the symbolism of the Treb rune. Treba is similar in meaning to the Scandinavian Teivaz rune. In the northern tales there is such a legend: when the Gods caught Fernir - the Wolf, enthralling Ragnarok, the end of the World, it was necessary to put strong fetters on the beast to protect it from its strength and actions. However, this could only be done by cunning. Promising Fernir that the Gods would only test the fetters and then remove them, Tyr put his hand in the wolf's mouth as a guarantee of the promised. The restraints were imposed, but not removed, and Fernir bit off Thur's hand. At this price, victory over Chaos and the continuation of Peace was achieved.

It is the inevitable sacrifice of something that Teivaz and Treba mean. However, not a simple sacrifice, but the sacrifice of the most important thing - oneself. The Warrior of the Spirit with the light fire of such a sacrifice overcomes the shackles of consciousness and finds a way to Alatyr, who bestows Power and Knowledge.

8. Rune Strength

In the Slavic runic alphabet symbolizes the letter C
Main meanings: Strength, gaining knowledge and integrity

Translation and meaning of the Slavic rune: It denotes absolutely any force acting on someone or something. It is also an applied effort - an action that changes a situation or object. The beginning, impact, concentration, the challenge of Divine and elemental forces, the call and the ability to accept the flow: all these are the key characteristics of this rune. In the Scandinavian Futhark, Strength corresponds in meaning to the Soul rune. For Nords, strength is not only the ability and ability to change the whole world and yourself, but also following the chosen path without the shackles of consciousness, which separates thought and being. The Slavs also followed such a logical interpretation and named the rune a symbol of victory on their bonds and sacrificing an external one for the sake of the present - the release of the Spirit and one's own "I". In magic, the use of this Slavic rune helps to direct the questioner to a short, victorious Path and clarify the question being asked, make a decision to act.

9. Rune Wind

Therefore, the rune of Mother Mokosh Bereginya knows both earthly fertility, which allows people to live, and in general human destinies. Since Makosha has two hypostases - day and night, then this Slavic rune in an inverted meaning is not only a symbol of life, but also death. Only in part of its meanings does it resemble the Scandinavian rune of Berkan, as well as the image of Frigga, the Heavenly Mother and Hel, the Underground Mother. According to tradition, Mother Makosh both gives life to souls on earth, and takes it away with the passage of time, weaves human destinies together with the help of Dolya and Nedoli.

Bereginya is the rune of fate, since Makosh is sometimes considered a continuation of Veles as a spouse, as well as the rune of the power of the elements of the earth - heavy, powerful and grateful for care.

Main meanings: Yarovit, Yar, Yarilo, fire, love, passion, youth

Translation and meaning of the Slavic rune: Ud symbolizes the son of Veles, Yarovit, or the son of the Scandinavian god Odin, Balder. The rune carries him with all the strength that makes women feminine, and all men courageous - Yar. In the Scandinavian Futhark, Ud corresponds to the Uruz rune and, slightly in terms of its meanings, Inguz. This is the power that unites two opposite principles and gives birth to new life, it is the fire of love and passion, a flash of creativity and attraction. It is no coincidence that the word Ud is also perceived as a limb, a member, a phallus - a symbol of fertility and the transformation of Chaos, the transformation of emptiness into Being.

Yarilo is like the rune Ud - this is spring, this is flowering, the awakening of the living and joy. It is a passionate relationship between a couple, conception, warmth, growth, sex, desire, beauty and youth.

The Scandinavian futark has a similar meaning to the Laguz rune, and according to some criteria, this Slavic rune is similar to the action of Vunyo.

Since ancient times, Lelya was revered by her Slavic sons as the daughter of the Great Mother. On her behalf, a lot of single-root, very warm and soft words that are most important in strength and meaning in a person's life came about: lyalya - child, cherish and others. As the sister of Yarovit, who owns the element of fire, Lelia is associated with the element of water - clean and constantly moving, running along streams and rivers, drinking springs.

Under different names, we meet Lelya as the goddess of power in many cultures and legends: the sea or river maiden, the keeper of the Holy Grail and the paths to it, she leads her as confidently and purposefully as a stream of water flows, and nothing will stop her on her way to goals.

Today, many people are discovering the pagan culture of the ancient Slavs - the Scythians, Lyutichians, Drevlyans and other nationalities. to the traditions and beliefs of ancestors is not accidental. The connection of the people of that time with nature, the energies of the Earth was too strong, which allowed them to live in harmony with the world around them, which is so lacking in modern man.

Old Slavic runes are part of that culture. At one time they were very revered and were used not only as symbols of the alphabet, but also for protection.

The history of the appearance of Old Slavic runes

Historians have not come to a consensus about the time of the appearance of the runic script among the Slavs, but they agree that it is as old as the Celtic and Etruscan symbols.

For example, the famous German chronicler Titmar of Merseburg, who lived in the late 10th - early 11th centuries, mentions idols with incomprehensible signs on them when describing a Slavic temple in the lands of lutichi. Surely he would recognize the Germanic or Scandinavian runes.

Similar images were described by Ibn El Nedim, an Arab writer who lived in the same period. He mentions the ancient pre-Cyrillic writing, which he discovered on the gravestones of Slavic burials.

Thus, we can safely say that the oldest alphabet of our distant ancestors was the Old Church Slavonic runes. If you turn to archaeological finds, you can find out that the ancient masters put runic signs on household utensils. For example, a clay pot found near the village of Voiskovoye on the Dnieper contains an inscription of 12 words, for which 6 symbols were used. The fact that 3 of them looked like Scandinavian runes suggests that the cultures of these peoples overlapped.

The same symbols were found on cult objects from the ancient temple of Radegast, which belonged to the Polabian (Baltic) Slavs, destroyed in the 11th century.

Old Slavic runes (and their meaning is a direct confirmation of this) cannot be perceived solely as signs of a letter. Their influence on the life of the ancient pagans was enormous: these symbols were applied to the body, to runestones, dishes, to livestock, idols and other objects important for life and beliefs.

Runic alphabet

This writing has Etruscan and Celtic roots, since these peoples lived in the neighborhood with the Slavs. In addition to the fact that the runes were used for writing, there was a cult according to which these signs were considered sacred, since they were given to people by the gods. Tablets with runes, for example, were placed in burials, and pebbles with signs inscribed on them served as amulets.

They were used not only during pagan times, but also after the adoption of Christianity by the Slavic peoples. For example, they depicted the Algiz rune, since it was considered a strong defense against other people's witchcraft and the evil eye. To increase its power, multiple images of this symbol could be applied.

To date, 18 runes are known: Mir, Chernobog, Rainbow, Alatyr, Krada, Need, Wind, Strength, Yes, Treba, Bereginya, Lelya, Ud, Rock, Support, Dazhdbog, Perun and Istok.

Old Slavic runes and charms with symbols applied to them carried a certain meaning and possessed power.

Runes - symbols of good

As is customary in almost all ancient peoples, the Slavs believed that the world was ruled by good and evil forces. Among their gods and goddesses, there are those who help people and take care of them, as well as those who inspire terror.

Old Slavic runes did not escape the same fate. Among them there are also protections, which include:

• Rune World symbolizes the Tree of life and the universe. She is also referred to as the White God and the person who is his embodiment. The rune either resembles a tree with two branches. Its center is the trunk of the World Tree or the human spine. The rune of Belboga also means family, world order and harmony. In Scandinavian mythology, he corresponds to the god Heimdall, who protects order and the world from chaos.
• A rainbow means a road that has no beginning and no end. As a talisman, she was used on travels for a favorable return, as well as for a positive ending of some difficult business. The rune conveys a state in a way that differs from the usual fuss, as if a person slides through life between Order and Chaos.

  

• Among the ancient Slavs, the word "steal" meant fire, and a rune with this name indicated purification, the disclosure of their intentions to the world. For magical purposes, it was used to embody intentions, to get rid of masks and superficial desires. She helped make dreams come true. The symbol of the sign was fire and a verb (“word”).
• Treba meant sacrifice, without which it is impossible to translate your desires into reality. It was depicted in the form of an arrow, which suggests that its main direction is dedication, like a warrior's desire for victory. It is impossible to reach new heights without sacrificing your comfort and habits, and this sacrifice should be made by everyone who steps on a new Road.
• The rune of Power meant the ability to change two worlds - the inner human and through it the outer. The symbol is a warrior, and the magical meaning is unity. A person who lost integrity and connection with nature, with the help of this rune, restored balance in consciousness and purified it. The soldiers took her with them to return home with victory.
• Bereginya is a symbol of the Mother Goddess, who knows all living things on Earth and protects her children. On the one hand, it gives souls entering the world a new body, but on the other, it takes life away, so it can be called a symbol of both life and death.

Old Slavic amulets, runes and their meaning in the life of ancient pagans is an extremely interesting topic. These symbols played a very important role. Belief in the external control of the fate of people by the gods gave these signs magical power that helped our ancestors to withstand the threat of evil and chaos.

Runes - symbols of death

Regardless of the level of development of civilization and people's beliefs, they have always been afraid of death. The unknown that lies behind it terrifies a person. The ancient Slavs had their own myths about the afterlife, and some of the runes are associated with death or fate, from which even the gods cannot hide.

Old Slavic runes and their meaning associated with evil or death:




The ancient Slavs conditionally divided the runes into strong and weak and, depending on the situation, could enhance their effect by repeated repetition.

The most powerful amulet runes

Modern connoisseurs of runes do not fully understand all the nuances of their meanings, as was typical of the Old Slavic shamans and magicians. In those days, the belief in their power was very high among the people, so amulets with runic signs were especially popular.

They were made of stones, silver, wood or gold, runic symbols were embroidered on shirts, women woven ribbons with them into their braids. The most popular were amulets, which depicted Old Slavic runes (photos of some of them are presented in the article), associated with wealth, well-being, health and the preservation of the family hearth.

Among them, the strongest were:




To some extent, the modern descendants of the ancient Slavs adopted the traditions of their ancestors to use runes to protect themselves from problems or to attract wealth, love or success into their lives. Some of them use amulets, while others get tattoos. Old Slavic runes are not a tribute to fashion, but a deep connection with the Family of those who were able to reveal it in themselves.

Home, family and property protection

Knowing one's kind, honoring the memory of ancestors and family were very important in the life of the ancient Slavs. They knew very well where their family came from and from whom, and passed on this knowledge to subsequent generations. The rituals associated with burial, the birth of a person, were largely associated with natural energies that people used to rest the dead or protect newborns.

The ancient Slavs in this matter are very similar to the Chinese, who understood the importance of the correct flow and distribution of qi energy. Old Slavic runes, correctly charged, had a magical property to harmonize external and internal space. Some of them were used to protect the home, to protect family well-being, the birth of beautiful and healthy children, and the possibility of procreation. These include:



These are such interesting and multifaceted - Old Slavic amulets, runes and their meaning. Tattoos with them are one of the most popular among modern people, since the well-being of the family is as important for them as for their ancient ancestors.

Runes from the evil eye and damage

Ancient Slavic magicians knew how not only to use runes to create protective amulets, but also to make spells out of them. Superstitious people at all times are afraid of someone else's envy, damage and the evil eye. A properly made amulet can have not only protective functions, but also neutralize the negative sent to a person.

For example, to protect the witch used:



The ancient Slavs sincerely believed that their deceased ancestors could protect them and help them in times of need. The combination of powerful symbols in one drawing multiplied its charge. You can do the same in our time, having studied the Old Slavic runes and their meaning. A tattoo of several symbols will not only create powerful protection, but also attract good luck or wealth.

Fortune telling on the runes

Today you will find few people who could interpret the runes as well as the sages and sorcerers of antiquity did. One of the ways to find out your fate, or just to get advice on how to act in a given situation, was fortune-telling on Old Slavic runes.

Depending on how they fell out, which side of the sign lay, its meaning changed, and a good rune could turn out to be bad. Knowledgeable sorcerers of those times helped people avoid problems or warned them about possible dangers. Modern magicians know only the basic meanings of runes in fortune-telling, for example:

• Runa Alatyr could mean the beginning of a new business or the upcoming road.
• The Rainbow symbol meant a successful outcome of something.
• If Need fell out during fortune-telling, then the person faced obstacles in business, ruin or even death.
• Runa Krada foreshadowed that a person had to bring something to life, but for this he needed to clear his consciousness.
• When the Force fell out, it meant that the person would find the right solution for his situation.
• The rune Wind personified the creative essence of man and indicated that one should take time to reveal his potential.

These are far from all the interpretations of the Old Slavic runes, since even the sequence of their loss could give new options for the development of events in the fate of a person. Sometimes they used Old Slavonic (runes) to search for treasures. Since the ancient pagans believed that the hidden treasures were protected by spells, they made conspiracies and special combinations of runes, which were supposed not only to lead the treasure hunter to the right place, but also to save his life.

Runes in tattoo

Today it is becoming fashionable to use Old Slavic runes and their meaning in tattoos. Those who decide to use their protective power should be very careful, because without knowledge and belief in their power, this - at best - will be just a drawing on the skin, and at worst, it is possible to obtain the opposite effect to the expected one.



It was the faith of people that endowed the runes with power, because each of them was associated with a specific god, for example:

• The rune Wind symbolized Veles, who transferred the souls of the dead to the kingdom of Marena.
• Beregini's sign was associated with Makosh, the goddess of the earth and harvest.
• Runa Ud is Yarilo.

It was the belief in these gods and goddesses that endowed the runes with powerful energy. The ancient Slavs painted them on the body as protection from dark forces or to attract good luck. Likewise, today people should use the Old Church Slavonic runes. A tattoo, backed up by the knowledge of their meaning and belief in the ancient gods, will be a real talisman for its wearer.

How to make a rune-amulet

It makes no sense to buy a ready-made amulet, but if there is no way to make it yourself, then you should at least correctly charge the purchase. To do this, rinse it in running clean water, then hold candles over the fire, put in salt for a day, and then fumigate with incense. So all 4 elements will give the amulet their strength.



The next stage is the transfer of your energy to the amulet with a prayer to the god or goddess, which is symbolized by the rune. Asking for help or protection gives him powerful strength.

Such an incomprehensible and completely unknown magical world of runes, which unites a separate sphere of the universe in several dozen symbols, is of interest to many modern people. And not only scientists are interested in deciphering signs and runic magic. Ordinary people also want to know what is behind certain symbols, because, according to the ancient legends of our ancestors, they can radically change lives. Many with constant interest study the Slavic runes and their meanings, learn knowledge that is only part of the great heritage of our ancestors. And in this article you can find answers to the most pressing questions about ancient symbols that have come to us since pagan times.

Runic records and the magic of symbols, which are a kind of memorials to the history of primitive mankind, have become the main topic of discussion for many writers and famous cultural figures. Based on historical information and all kinds of clues, some of them were able to publish quite interesting publications, which later became the basis for a course on the sacred traditions of the ancient Slavs.

These editions include one of Yggvolod's books (A.V. Platov, a well-known writer and activist of the pagan Revival movement in certain circles) - Runic Magic, published in 1994, it contains reliable data about many runic signs and their meaning. Starting with the basics of the sacred teachings of the ancient nation of Slavs and ending with documented information (rock paintings, photos, videos), it allows you to understand the deeper meaning of the heritage. In the future, this helps a person interested in mastering runic magic to more accurately use the symbols of the runes in achieving their goals.

First of all, it is worth noting that runes are a kind of records, hieroglyphs, denoting magical amulet paraphernalia. According to the representatives of the ancient Slavic nation themselves, the runes were presented to them by the supreme god Veles. The use of these peculiar "patterns" allowed a person to protect themselves from troubles, misfortunes, the evil eye and other dashing. Ancient runes could be both individual amulets and magical universal tools to protect a home, family, and a whole clan. Therefore, they were applied in ancient times to almost any surface. The most common Slavic runic traces were found on the clothes, ammunition of the warriors, clothes and medallions, pendants. Often, to protect the house, women applied runes and symbols of Slavic ancestors to household items and the walls of the house.

But ancient signs in the form of runes are not only protective. Some time ago, various fortune-telling on the runes were very popular. They were distributed almost throughout the territory of central Europe, which towards the end of the VIII century. settled by the Slavs. This could be explained by the reliability of the results obtained in the course of prediction from the combinations of runes.

Few people know, but the runes are also considered to be the writings of our ancestors. This is also mentioned by A.V. Platov in his publication, as about the pre-Christian alphabet of the ancient Slavs. Used to preserve messages, the runes became the basis for the alphabets that appeared much later.

Surprisingly, entire sentences could fit in just a few characters. This is evidenced by the inscriptions on the stones, carved by representatives of ancient nations.

The older runes, the meaning of which is rather in the preservation of the acquired knowledge, are a classic example of this. The use of symbols even then made it possible to use runes to document historical events, as well as for magical purposes.

In the modern world, runic inscriptions are called a specific sign system. Those who have not previously encountered this topic at all feel the mystery and a kind of sacred mysticism of ancient hieroglyphs. And it is not surprising, because the meaning of Slavic runic traces is deeper than other signs of ancient mankind known today. So, for example, the basis for the interpretation of the runes was the reflection of the trinity of divine power, which appeared in the worldview of the representatives of the Slavic people in the form of opposites:

• Life and death;
• Order and Chaos;
• Man and Warrior.

What do the designations mean?

Depending on which rune will be applied by a person, one can understand how much he believes in deities, or what purpose he pursues. In addition, the translation of some runic writings could tell about its belonging to a certain genus.

Protective symbols, as previously mentioned, could be transferred by the Slavs to a wide variety of things:

• Houseware;
• decorations (decor or accessories);
• towels;
• belts;
• cult items and more.

In the mantle (the technique of ancient fortune telling), runes were used as the main tool that gave an interpretation of possible future events according to the combinations that fell out during the course. In this case, the symbols are applied to special dies. The ancient Slavs usually made them from wood or carved them on stones. For such fortune-telling, a certain system of interaction of signs is provided.

The author's layout during fortune-telling on the runes made it possible to judge possible events in the near future. When embarking on divination rituals, the Slavs usually established an invisible energetic connection with the gods. Such an introduction helped to get a more reliable clue from unearthly forces and increase the meaning of some runic signs:

• The power of the Rod;
• happy share;

What exactly each of them, as well as other runic symbols, mean, you can find out by reading the article further.

Runic images with their decoding

As a memory of a Slavic clan, the runes of Maly Furtak are nevertheless closer to many of us "in spirit." The system, consisting of ancient signs, contains 18 runes, each of which carries an individual meaning. What kind of meaning they are endowed with, and exactly how they are read and depicted, is demonstrated in the photo.

• The first rune, pictured above, reads Peace. She personifies the Universe, as the Slavs saw it. Also, this symbol conveys the essence of the World Tree. In some other interpretations, this sign is an image of the inner "I" of each person, eager to overcome Chaos and directing a person to Order in the World. In general, this meaning of the Mir rune can be considered correct. Both of them are considered to be a reliable translation of the ancient hieroglyph, which A.V. Platov mentioned in his book. In the world of magic, where such symbolic characters are increasingly used to predict the future, the Mir rune represents protection. The one to whom the plate with her image fell will be under the auspices of the Gods.

• The second in the photo shows the rune Chernobog. She, as the opposite of the first symbol, personifies the forces that strive for disorder, Chaos. In prophecies, this sign indicates rupture, destruction, completion, etc. Depending on the combination in which a plate with such an outline falls out, a person can expect either the destruction of unnecessary connections, or the long-awaited exit from the "vicious circle".
• The next rune in the photo is Alatyr, which means the center of the entire Universe. Its essence is everything that exists from the beginning to the end of the Universe. It is the center around which there is always movement. It is about him that is mentioned as a stone that lies at the base of the World and around which the forces of Chaos and Order constantly revolve, being in constant struggle. The sacred meaning of this sign is the altar, which serves as a place of sacrifice. In other sources, Alatyr is the personification of the law of balance.
• The rainbow, the fourth rune in the image above, signifies a road. However, this is not the road that can arise in the understanding of a person. Rainbow is a special path, which is determined by the struggle and the simultaneous unity of opposites (Chaos and Order, Fire and Water, etc.). The runic road-rainbow on a die is not even a person's movement, but his purpose, a state that is unlike any other. Embodying the balance that gives a person a beginning and has a specific result, in magic this rune denotes stabilization, a favorable completion of affairs, and assistance to travelers.
• In the photo, the next rune reads as Need. This symbol is related to the god Navi, whom the Slavs attributed to the Lower World. Need (or the Viy rune) means fate, a set of events intended for a person. In a direct sense, this mark is the final result, which cannot be avoided by anyone (death). In magic and fortune telling, it is considered a warning. Seeing a plate with such a sign, a person needs to think about making a specific decision that radically changes his life.

• Another symbol is the rune of Krad, which symbolizes the sacrificial Fire. She is also a prototype of the aspiration, embodiment and implementation of the plan. At the same time, this sign carries the meaning of discovery, exposure. This is due to the fact that what was conceived, in the process of its implementation, becomes obvious, visible to the World. In the world of magic, the Steal's die is cleansing.
• The seventh rune in the photo is Treba, this is the sign of the Warrior of the Spirit. It carries the meaning of sacrifice for the implementation of intentions. If we take into account that everything in the World is interconnected, then we can assume that for the implementation of his intention a person on the Road needs to sacrifice something in order to get what he wants. And this is not the kind of sacrifice that the gods need to make to appease. It is rather a symbol of self-sacrifice, the ability to deny yourself something in order to achieve your goals. The same meaning of the rune is carried over to the world of magic, fortune-telling.
• The Rune Strength is a Warrior's Property. It means changes, and not only in the World, but also in oneself in relation to the World. This is a symbol, as a confirmation of the results intended for a person walking along the Road, and the strength that he will receive if he sacrifices himself for the sake of liberation from the shackles of consciousness. For the prophecy, a plate with the inscription of the Force will mean the clarification of an unresolved situation.
• The Wind is considered the rune of the Spirit, the next sign in the photo. It symbolizes the Road of ascent to the top. Associated with the element of Air, this die is a prototype of the spiritualized Will, Power. Decoding it in prophecies is an inspiration, a breakthrough in creativity.

• Bereginya is the rune of the Feminine principle, the image of the Mother and the symbol of motherhood, which is also associated with protection. The Slavs refer her to the Mother-Bereginya Goddess, who is in charge of the fate of all creatures living in the World, fertility, and prosperity. Since it concerns the life of beings on earth, this rune is considered to be a symbol of Life, Death and Destiny.
• Another runic symbol is Ud, which is the traditional designation of male dignity. In general, it is a sign of fertility, love and passion. The Slavs perceived such a symbol as a Force capable of fertilizing the Emptiness of the Universe and giving rise to life.
• Lelya is a representative of the Water element, a rune associated with Living Water. The ancient Slavs believed that it was this water that flowed in all natural sources. By magic, such a symbol is perceived as intuition, higher knowledge, joy, and also a kind of awakening.
• The rune of the unmanifest Spirit can be called the next hieroglyph - Rock. This is an accurate definition of the beginning of everything that exists and its end. A mysterious symbol in the magical world is perceived as a dedication to the Unknowable.
• The following rune is also related to the foundations of the Universe - Support. Carrying in itself a clear connection with the Gods, it represents the Tree (support), which connects heaven and earth and opens the way for the witch to receive answers to questions of interest.

• The rune Dazhdbog, which is a direct symbol of the Good, the gifts of the Gods. A plate dropped with such a pattern carries the meaning of well-being in any area (wealth, love, happiness, luck). Prophecy for a person with the Dazhdbog rune will mean a successful acquisition, an increase in something or addition, new connections, etc.
• Perun, the sign of God the Thunderer. This rune of protection of people from Chaos, the world of the Gods - from the Dark Forces. At the same time, it symbolizes Vitality and power. Endowed with protective properties, in the prophecies it will mean the protection of the Gods.
• The rune Is is a symbol of Life, Existence with its changeable variables. It is a sign of constant movement, renewal, change, growth. She is the factor that makes all living things grow, improve, live.
• The Rune of Ice is the last symbol in the photo - Source. Considering that Ice is a special state of Power and movement at rest, the Source will mean stagnation in those matters that are rapidly developing. The potential force inherent in this sign and symbolizing the Source rune, as a result, will become movement.

The deep meaning of sacred life, which lies in the ancient Slavic runic characters, allows us to lift the curtain of the mysterious heritage of the great nation, about which many documentary videos have been filmed. Awareness of the possible meanings of each rune and the ability to correctly interpret it in the construction of predictions will allow you to more clearly see the picture of the near future. This once again confirms the explanation why the use of runes is so popular and very versatile.

Interest in the culture and life of their ancestors is only growing. Many people with great pleasure study the traditions of the Drevlyans, Lyutichi and other nationalities.

On the energetic level, the Slavs were connected with the nature around them, which helped them to live in harmony. This is now largely enough for a person.

Symbols are considered one of the features of Slavic culture. They performed an educational function. Slavic runes could provide good protection to the owner.

It is impossible to give an accurate conclusion about the period of the appearance of the runes, their age is similar to the amulets of the Celts.

The mention of unusual signs dates back to the 10th - 11th centuries when describing the church among the lutichi. The German and Scandinavian rune is mentioned in the writings of Titmar of Merseburg. In Ibn El Nedim, you can find a description of the ancient writing seen on the burials of the Slavs.

These facts confirm that the most ancient ways of transmitting information.

During archaeological searches, they were found on household items. Images of Slavic runes were also found during excavations in the Radegarst temple, which was considered the property of the Baltic Slavs.

The rune cannot be perceived only as a symbol for transmitting important information. They believed in their magical properties, in this sign as a protective talisman. The rune was depicted on stone, kitchen utensils, animals, and even on the body.

Runic alphabet

The territorial proximity with the Etruscan and Celtic peoples led to the appearance of writing among the Slavic people. Each rune is sent from heaven, so there was a cult of worshiping these symbols.

If you put a runic symbol on a small stone, it will serve as a talisman. When making burials, tables with inscriptions were used. The messages are encrypted using runes.

After the adoption of Christianity, the Slavic runes did not lose their relevance and were still revered by the Slavs.
