The name of the pagan gods. Old Russian gods

The ancient Slavic pantheon is very complex in structure and numerous in composition. Most of the gods were identified with various forces of nature, although there were exceptions, the most striking example of which is Rod, the creator god. Due to the similarity of the functions and properties of some gods, it is difficult to determine for sure which names are just variations on the names of the same god, and which belong to different gods.

The entire pantheon can be divided into two large circles: the elder gods who ruled all three worlds in the primordial stage, and the second circle - the young gods who took the reins of government in the new stage. At the same time, some older gods are present in the new stage, while others disappear (more precisely, there are no descriptions of their activities or interference in anything, but the memory that they were, remains).

In the Slavic pantheon, there was no clear hierarchy of power, which was replaced by a tribal hierarchy, where sons obeyed their father, but brothers were equal among themselves. The Slavs did not have pronounced evil gods and good gods. Some deities gave life, others took it away, but all were revered equally, since the Slavs believed that the existence of one without the other is impossible. At the same time, the gods, good in their functions, could punish and cause harm, while the evil ones, on the contrary, help and save people. Thus, the gods of the ancient Slavs were very similar to people, not only outwardly, but also in character, since they simultaneously carried both good and evil.

Outwardly, the gods were similar to people, while most of them could turn into animals, in the form of which they usually appeared before people. From ordinary beings, the gods were distinguished by superpowers that allowed the deities to change the world around them. Each of the gods had power over one of the parts of this world. The impact on other parts beyond the control of the deities was limited and temporary.

The most ancient supreme male deity among the Slavs was Rod. Already in Christian teachings against paganism of the XII-XIII centuries. they write about Rod as a god worshiped by all peoples.
Rod was the god of the sky, thunderstorms, fertility. They said about him that he rides on a cloud, throws rain on the ground, and from this children are born. He was the ruler of the earth and all living things, he was a pagan creator god.
In Slavic languages, the root "genus" means kinship, birth, water (spring), profit (harvest), such concepts as people and homeland, in addition, it means red and lightning, especially ball, called "rhodium". This variety of cognate words undoubtedly proves the greatness of the pagan god.
Rod is a creator god, together with his sons Belbog and Chernobog, he created this world. Alone, Rod created Rule, Yav and Nav in the sea of ​​chaos, and together with his sons he created the earth.

The sun then went out of His face. A bright moon - from His chest. Frequent stars - from His eyes. Clear dawns - from His eyebrows. Dark nights - yes from His thoughts. Violent winds - from the breath ...
"The Book of Carols"
The Slavs had no idea about the appearance of the Rod, since he never appeared directly in front of people.
Temples in honor of the deity were arranged on hills or simply large open areas of land. His idol was phallic in shape or simply made in the form of a pillar painted red. Sometimes the role of an idol was performed by an ordinary tree growing on a hill, especially if it was old enough. In general, the Slavs believed that Rod is in everything and therefore you can worship it anywhere. There were no sacrifices in honor of Rod. Instead of them, holidays and feasts are arranged, which are held directly near the idol.

The companions of the Sort were Rozhanitsy - female deities of fertility in Slavic mythology, the patroness of the clan, family, home.

Belbog

Son of Rod, god of light, goodness and justice. In Slavic mythology, he is the creator of the world along with Rod and Chernobog. Outwardly, Belbog appeared as a gray-haired old man dressed as a sorcerer.
Belobog in the mythology of our ancestors never acted as an independent individual character. As any object in the world of Reveal has a shadow, so Belobog has its integral antipode - Chernobog. A similar analogy can be found in ancient Chinese philosophy (yin and yang), in Icelandic Ynglism (rune yudzh) and in many other cultural and religious systems. Belobog, thus, becomes the embodiment of bright human ideals: goodness, honor and justice.

A sanctuary in honor of Belbog was built on the hills, turning the idol to the east, towards the sunrise. However, Belbog was revered not only in the sanctuary of the deity, but also at feasts, always making a toast in his honor.

Veles

One of the greatest gods of the ancient world, son of Rod, brother of Svarog. His main act was that Veles set the world created by Rod and Svarog in motion. Veles - "cattle god" - the owner of the wild, the owner of Navi, a powerful wizard and werewolf, interpreter of laws, teacher of arts, patron of travelers and merchants, god of luck. True, some sources point to him as the god of death ...
At the moment, among various pagan and native faith directions, a fairly popular text is the Book of Veles, which became known to the general public in the 1950s of the last century thanks to the researcher and writer Yuri Mirolyubov. The Veles book actually consists of 35 birch planks, covered with symbols, which linguists (in particular, A. Kur and S. Lesnoy) call Slavic pre-Cyrillic writing. It is curious that the original text does not really resemble either Cyrillic or Glagolitic, but the features of the Slavic runic are also indirectly presented in it.
Despite the great distribution and mass veneration of this god, Veles was always separated from other gods, his idols were never placed in common temples (sacred places in which images of the main gods of this territory were installed).

Two animals are associated with the image of Veles: a bull and a bear; in the temples dedicated to the deity, the magi often kept a bear, which played a key role in the rituals.

Dazhdbog

God of the Sun, giver of heat and light, god of fertility and life-giving power. The solar disk was originally considered the symbol of Dazhdbog. Its color is gold, which speaks of the nobility of this god and his unshakable strength. In general, our ancestors had three main solar deities - Khors, Yarila and Dazhdbog. But Khors was the winter sun, Yarilo was the spring sun, and Dazhdbog was the summer sun. Of course, it was Dazhdbog who deserved special respect, since a lot depended on the summer position of the sun in the firmament for the ancient Slavs, the people of the tillers. At the same time, Dazhdbog never had a sharp temper, and if a drought suddenly attacked, then our ancestors never blamed this god.
The temples of Dazhdbog were arranged on the hills. The idol was made of wood and placed facing east or southeast. Feathers of ducks, swans and geese, as well as honey, nuts and apples were brought as a gift to the deity.

Devana

Devana is the goddess of hunting, the wife of the forest god Svyatobor and the daughter of Perun. The Slavs represented the goddess in the form of a beautiful girl dressed in an elegant marten fur coat trimmed with a squirrel. Over the fur coat, the beauty put on a bearskin, and the head of the beast served as her hat. With her, Perun's daughter carried an excellent bow with arrows, a sharp knife and a horn, with which they go to a bear.

The beautiful goddess not only hunted forest animals: she herself taught them how to avoid dangers and endure harsh winters.

Dewana was primarily revered by hunters and trappers, they prayed to the goddess to grant good luck in hunting, and in gratitude they brought part of their prey to her sanctuary. It was believed that it was she who helped to find the secret paths of animals in the dense forest, avoid skirmishes with wolves and bears, but if the meeting did take place, the person would emerge victorious from it.

Share and Nedolya

Share - a kind goddess, Mokosh's assistant, weaves a happy fate.
It appears in the guise of a sweet young man or red-haired girl with golden curls and a cheerful smile. He cannot stand still, he walks around the world - there are no barriers: a swamp, a river, a forest, mountains - The share will overcome in an instant.
He does not like lazy and negligent, drunkards and all sorts of bad people. Although at first he makes friends with everyone - then he will figure it out and leave the bad, evil person.
NEDOLYA (Nuzha, Need) - the goddess, Mokosh's assistant, weaves an unhappy fate.
Share and Nedolya are not just personifications of abstract concepts that do not have objective existence, but, on the contrary, they are living faces, identical to the maidens of fate.
They act according to their own calculations, regardless of the will and intentions of a person: the happy one does not work at all and lives in contentment, because the Share works for him. On the contrary, Nedolya's activities are constantly directed to the detriment of man. While she is awake, misfortune follows misfortune, and only then does it become easier for the unfortunate when Nedolya falls asleep: “If Likho is sleeping, don’t wake him up.”

Dogoda

Dogoda (Weather) - the god of fine weather and a gentle, pleasant breeze. Young, ruddy, blond-haired, in a cornflower blue wreath with blue, gilded butterfly wings around the edges, in silvery bluish clothes, holding a thorn in his hand and smiling at the flowers.

Kolyada

Kolyada - the baby sun, in Slavic mythology - the embodiment of the New Year cycle, as well as a holiday character similar to Avsen.
Kolyada was celebrated during winter Christmas time from December 25 (turn of the sun to spring) to January 6.
“Once upon a time, Kolyada was perceived not as a mummer. Kolyada was a deity, and one of the most influential. They called the carol, called. New Year's Eve was dedicated to Kolyada, games were arranged in her honor, which were subsequently performed at Christmas time. The last patriarchal ban on worshiping Kolyada was issued on December 24, 1684. It is believed that Kolyada was recognized by the Slavs as the deity of fun, which is why they called him, called on New Year's festivities by cheerful gangs of youth ”(A. Strizhev.“ People’s Calendar ”).

Rooftop

The son of the Almighty and the goddess Maya, was a brother to the very first creator of the world Rod, although he was much younger than him. He returned fire to people, fought on the shores of the Arctic Ocean with Chernobog and defeated him.

KUPALO

Kupala (Kupaila) is the fruitful deity of summer, the summer incarnation of the sun god.
“Kupalo, as I think, was the god of abundance, as with the Hellenes Ceres, who is insane for the abundance of thanksgiving at that time, when the harvest is imminent.”
His holiday is dedicated to the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. The night was also sacred, on the eve of this day - the Night on the eve of Kupalo. All that night, feasting, games and mass bathing in reservoirs continued.
They sacrificed to him before the collection of bread, on June 23, on the day of St. Agrippina, which was popularly nicknamed the Swimsuit. Young people decorated themselves with wreaths, laid out a fire, danced around it and sang Kupala. The games went on all night. In some places, on June 23, bathhouses were heated, grass bathing suit (buttercup) was laid in them, and then they swam in the river.
On the very Nativity of John the Baptist, weaving wreaths, they hung them on the roofs of houses and on stables in order to remove evil spirits from the dwelling.

Lada

LADA (Freya, Preya, Siv or Zif) - the goddess of youth and spring, beauty and fertility, the all-generous mother, the patroness of love and marriages.
In folk songs, “lado” still means a dearly beloved friend, lover, groom, husband.
Freya's outfit shines with the dazzling brilliance of the sun's rays, her beauty is charming, and the drops of morning dew are called her tears; on the other hand, she acts as a militant heroine, rushing through the heavenly spaces in storms and thunderstorms and driving rain clouds. In addition, she is a goddess, in whose retinue the shadows of the dead march into the afterlife. The cloudy fabric is precisely that veil on which the soul, after the death of a person, ascends to the kingdom of the blessed.
According to the testimony of folk verses, angels, appearing for a righteous soul, take it in a shroud and carry it to heaven. The cult of Freya-Siva explains the superstitious respect that Russian commoners have for Friday, as a day dedicated to this goddess. Whoever starts a business on Friday, he, according to the proverb, will back away.
Among the ancient Slavs, the birch, personifying the goddess Lada, was considered a sacred tree.

Ice - the Slavs prayed to this deity for success in battles, he was revered as the ruler of military actions and bloodshed. This ferocious deity was portrayed as a terrible warrior, armed in Slavic armor, or all-weapon. At the hip, a sword, a spear and a shield in his hand.
He had his own temples. Going on a campaign against the enemies, the Slavs prayed to him, asking for help and promising plentiful sacrifices in case of success in military operations.

Lel

Lel - in the mythology of the ancient Slavs, the god of love passion, the son of the goddess of beauty and love Lada. About Lele - this cheerful, frivolous god of passion - is still reminiscent of the word "cherish", that is, undead, love. He is the son of the goddess of beauty and love, Lada, and beauty naturally gives rise to passion. This feeling flared up especially brightly in the spring and on the Kupala night. Lel was portrayed as a golden-haired, like a mother, winged baby: after all, love is free and elusive. Lel threw sparks from his hands: after all, passion is a fiery, hot love! In Slavic mythology, Lel is the same god as the Greek Eros or the Roman Cupid. Only ancient gods strike the hearts of people with arrows, and Lel kindled them with his fierce flame.
The stork (heron) was considered his sacred bird. Another name for this bird in some Slavic languages ​​is leleka. In connection with Lel, both cranes and larks, symbols of spring, were revered.

Makosh

One of the main goddesses of the Eastern Slavs, the wife of the Thunderer Perun.
Her name is made up of two parts: "ma" - mother and "kosh" - purse, basket, koshara. Makosh is the mother of full cats, the mother of a good harvest.
This is not the goddess of fertility, but the goddess of the results of the economic year, the goddess of the harvest, the giver of blessings. The harvest every year determines the lot, fate, so she was also revered as the goddess of fate. An obligatory attribute in her image is a cornucopia.
This goddess connected the abstract concept of fate with the concrete concept of abundance, patronized the household, sheared sheep, spun, punished the negligent. The specific concept of “spinning” was associated with a metaphorical one: “spinning fate”.
Makosh patronized marriage and family happiness. It was presented as a woman with a big head and long arms, spinning at night in a hut: beliefs forbid leaving a tow, "otherwise Makosha will spin."

Moraine

Morena (Marana, Morana, Mara, Maruha, Marmara) is the goddess of death, winter and night.
Mara is the goddess of death, the daughter of Lada. Outwardly, Mara looks like a tall beautiful girl with black hair in red clothes. Maru can not be called either an evil or a good goddess. On the one hand, it bestows death, but at the same time it also bestows life.

One of Mary's favorite activities is needlework: she loves to spin and weave. At the same time, like the Greek Moiram, he uses the threads of the fate of living beings for needlework, leading them to turning points in life, and, in the end, cutting the thread of existence.

Mara sends her messengers all over the world, who appear to people in the guise of a woman with long black hair or in the guise of doubles of people who are meant to be warned, and portend an imminent death.

In part of Mary, no permanent places of worship were erected; honors could be paid to her anywhere. For this, an image of the goddess, carved from wood or made from straw, was installed on the ground, stones were laid around the place. Directly in front of the idol, a larger stone or wooden plank was installed, which served as an altar. After the ceremony, all this was sorted out, and the image of Mary was burned or thrown into the river.

Mara was revered on February 15, and flowers, straw and various fruits were brought as a gift to the goddess of death. Sometimes, during the years of severe epidemics, animals were sacrificed, bleeding them directly at the altar.
Meeting spring with a solemn holiday, the Slavs performed the rite of expelling Death or Winter and plunged an effigy of Morana into the water. As a representative of winter, Morana is defeated by the spring Perun, who smashes her with his blacksmith's hammer and casts her into an underground dungeon for the whole summer time.
According to the identification of Death with thunder spirits, ancient belief forced these latter to fulfill its sad duty. But since the thunderer and his companions were also the organizers of the heavenly kingdom, the concept of Death was bifurcated, and fantasy portrayed it either as an evil creature, dragging souls into the underworld, or as a messenger of the supreme deity, accompanying the souls of the deceased heroes to his heavenly chamber.
Diseases were considered by our ancestors as companions and helpers of Death.

Perun

The God of Thunder, a victorious, punishing deity, whose appearance excites fear and awe. Perun, in Slavic mythology, the most famous of the Svarozhich brothers. He is the god of thunderclouds, thunder and lightning.
He is represented as stately, tall, with black hair and a long golden beard. Sitting on a flaming chariot, he rides through the sky, armed with a bow and arrows, and strikes the wicked.
According to Nestor, the wooden idol of Perun, placed in Kyiv, had a golden mustache on its silver head. Over time, Perun became the patron of the prince and his squad.
Temples in honor of Perun were always arranged on hills, and the highest place in the district was chosen. Idols were made mainly of oak - this mighty tree was the symbol of Perun. Sometimes there were places of worship to Perun, arranged around an oak tree growing on a hill, it was believed that this way Perun himself designates the best place. In such places, no additional idols were placed, and the oak, located on a hill, was revered as an idol.

Radegast

Radegast (Redigost, Radigast) is a lightning god, a killer and a devourer of clouds, and at the same time a radiant guest who appears with the return of spring. The earthly fire was recognized as the son of Heaven, brought down to the bottom, as a gift to mortals, a fleeting lightning, and therefore the idea of ​​​​an honorary divine guest, an alien from heaven to earth, was also connected with it.
The Russian settlers honored him with the name of a guest. At the same time, he received the character of a saving god of any foreigner (guest), who appeared in a strange house and surrendered himself under the protection of local penates (i.e. hearth), the patron god of merchants who came from distant countries and trade in general.
The Slavic Radigost was depicted with the head of a buffalo on his chest.

Svarog

Svarog is the creator god of earth and heaven. Svarog is the source of fire and its master. He creates not with a word, not with magic, unlike Veles, but with his hands, he creates the material world. He gave people the Sun-Ra and fire. Svarog threw a plow and a yoke from heaven to earth to cultivate the land; a battle ax to protect this land from enemies, and a bowl for preparing a sacred drink in it.
Like Rod, Svarog is the creator god, he continued the formation of this world, changing its original state, improving and expanding. However, blacksmithing is Svarog's favorite pastime.

Temples in honor of Svarog were arranged on hills overgrown with trees or shrubs. The center of the hill was cleared to the ground and a fire was made in this place; no additional idols were installed in the temple.

Svyatobor

Svyatobor is the god of the forest. Outwardly, he looks like an aged hero, representing an old man of strong build, with a thick beard and dressed in animal skins.
Svyatobor fiercely guards the forests and mercilessly punishes those who harm them, in some cases even death or eternal imprisonment in the forest in the form of a beast or a tree can become a punishment.

Svyatobor is married to the goddess of hunting Devan.

Temples in honor of Svyatobor were not arranged, their role was played by groves, pine forests and forests, which were recognized as sacred and in which neither deforestation nor hunting was carried out.

Semargl

One of the Svarozhichs was the god of fire - Semargl, who is sometimes mistakenly considered only a heavenly dog, the guardian of seeds for sowing. This (storage of seeds) was constantly engaged in a much smaller deity - Pereplut.
The ancient books of the Slavs tell how Semargl was born. Svarog hit the Alatyr stone with a magic hammer, carved divine sparks from it, which flared up, and the fiery god Semargl became visible in their flame. He sat on a golden-maned horse of a silver suit. Thick smoke became his banner. Where Semargl passed, there was a scorched trail. Such was his strength, but more often he looked quiet and peaceful.
Semargl, God of fire and moon, fire sacrifices, home and hearth, keeps seeds and crops. Can turn into a sacred winged dog.
The name of the God of Fire is not known for certain, most likely, his name is so holy. Still, because this God does not live somewhere in the seventh heaven, but directly among people! They try to say his name out loud less often, replacing it with allegories. The Slavs associate the emergence of people with Fire. According to some legends, the Gods created a Man and a Woman from two sticks, between which a Fire flared up - the very first flame of love. Semargl does not let evil into the world. At night, he stands guard with a fiery sword, and only one day a year does Semargl leave his post, responding to the call of the Bathing Lady, who calls him to love games on the day of the Autumn Equinox. And on the day of the Summer Solstice, after 9 months, children are born at Semargl and Bathing - Kostroma and Kupalo.

Stribog

In East Slavic mythology, the god of the wind. He can summon and tame a storm and can transform into his assistant, the mythical bird Stratim. In general, the wind was usually represented in the form of a gray-haired old man living at the end of the world, in a deep forest or on an island in the middle of the sea-ocean.
The temples of Stribog were arranged on the banks of rivers or seas, they are especially often found at the mouths of rivers. The temples in his honor were not enclosed in any way from the surrounding territory and were designated only by an idol made of wood, which was installed facing north. A large stone was also erected in front of the idol, which served as an altar.

Triglav

In ancient Slavic mythology, this is the unity of the three main essences-hypostases of the gods: Svarog (creation), Perun (the law of Rule) and Svyatovit (light)
According to various mythological traditions, different gods were included in Triglav. In Novgorod of the 9th century, the Great Triglav consisted of Svarog, Perun and Sventovit, and earlier (before the Western Slavs moved to the Novgorod lands) - from Svarog, Perun and Veles. In Kyiv, apparently - from Perun, Dazhbog and Stribog.
Small Triglavs were made up of gods, standing lower on the hierarchical ladder.

Horse

Khors (Korsha, Kore, Korsh) - the ancient Russian deity of the sun and the solar disk. It is best known among the southeastern Slavs, where the sun simply reigns over the rest of the world. Khors, in Slavic mythology, the god of the Sun, the keeper of the luminary, the son of Rod, the brother of Veles. Not all the gods of the Slavs and Rus were common. For example, before the Russ came to the banks of the Dnieper, Khors was not known here. Only Prince Vladimir installed his image next to Perun. But he was known among other Aryan peoples: among the Iranians, Persians, Zoroastrians, where they worshiped the god of the rising sun - Horset. This word also had a wider meaning - “radiance”, “brilliance”, as well as “glory”, “greatness”, sometimes “royal dignity” and even “hvarna” - a special mark of the gods, chosenness.
Temples in honor of Khors were arranged on small hills in the middle of meadows or small groves. The idol was made of wood and placed on the eastern slope of the hill. And as an offering, a special pie "horoshul" or "kurnik" was used, which crumbled around the idol. But to a greater extent, dances (round dances) and songs were used to pay tribute to Khors.

Chernobog

God of cold, destruction, death, evil; the god of madness and the embodiment of everything bad and black. It is believed that Chernobog is the prototype of Kashchei the immortal from fairy tales. Kashchei is a cult character of Slavic mythology, whose folklore image is extremely far from the original. Kashchei Chernobogvich was the youngest son of Chernobog, the great Serpent of Darkness. His older brothers - Goryn and Viy - feared and respected Kashchei for his great wisdom and equally great hatred for his father's enemies - the Iry gods. Kashchei owned the deepest and darkest kingdom of Navi - the Koshcheev kingdom,
Chernobog is the ruler of Navi, the god of time, the son of Rod. In Slavic mythology, he is the creator of the world along with Rod and Belbog. Outwardly, he appeared in two forms: in the first, he looked like a hunched, thin old man with a long beard, a silver mustache and a crooked stick in his hands; in the second, he was depicted as a middle-aged man of thin build, dressed in black clothes, but, again, with a silver mustache.

Chernobog is armed with a sword, which he masterfully wields. Although he is able to instantly appear at any point in Navi, he prefers to travel on horseback on a fiery stallion.
After the creation of the world, Chernobog under the patronage went to Nav - the world of the dead, in which he is both a ruler and a prisoner, since, despite all his strength, he is not able to leave its limits. The deity does not release the souls of people who got there for sins from Navi, however, its sphere of influence is not limited to one Navi. Chernobog managed to bypass the restrictions imposed on him and created Koshchei, who is the embodiment of the ruler of Navi in ​​Yavi, while the power of God in another world is much less real, but still allowed him to extend his influence to Yav, and only in the Rule Chernobog never appears.

The temples in honor of Chernobog were made of dark rocks, the wooden idol was completely upholstered with iron, except for the head, on which only the mustache was trimmed with metal.

Yarilo

Yarilo is the god of spring and sunlight. Outwardly, Yarilo looks like a young man with red hair, dressed in white clothes with a flower wreath on his head. This god moves around the world riding a white horse.

Temples in honor of Yarila were arranged on top of hills overgrown with trees. The tops of the hills were cleared of vegetation and an idol was erected in this place, in front of which a large white stone was placed, which sometimes could be located at the foot of the hill. Unlike most other gods, there were no sacrifices in honor of the god of spring. Usually the deity was revered with songs and dances at the temple. At the same time, one of the participants in the action was certainly dressed up as Yarila, after which he became the center of the whole festival. Sometimes special figurines were made in the form of people, they were brought to the temple, and then smashed against a white stone installed there, it is believed that this brings the blessing of Yarila, from which the harvest will be greater and sexual energy higher.

A little about the world order of the Slavs

The center of the world for the ancient Slavs was the World Tree (World Tree, World Tree). It is the central axis of the entire universe, including the Earth, and connects the World of people with the World of Gods and the Underworld. Accordingly, the crown of the tree reaches the World of the Gods in heaven - Iriy or Svarga, the roots of the tree go underground and connect the World of the Gods and the World of people with the underworld or the world of the Dead, ruled by Chernobog, Marena and other "dark" Gods. Somewhere in the sky, behind the clouds (heavenly abysses; over the seventh sky), the crown of a sprawling tree forms an island, here is Iriy (Slavic paradise), where not only the Gods and ancestors of people live, but also the progenitors of all birds and animals. Thus, the Tree of the World was fundamental in the worldview of the Slavs, its main component. At the same time, it is also a staircase, a road through which you can get to any of the worlds. In Slavic folklore, the Tree of the World is called differently. It can be oak, and sycamore, willow, linden, viburnum, cherry, apple tree or pine.

In the views of the ancient Slavs, the World Tree is located on Buyan Island on Alatyr-stone, which is also the center of the universe (the center of the Earth). Judging by some legends, light gods live on its branches, and dark gods live in its roots. The image of this tree has come down to us, both in the form of various fairy tales, legends, epics, incantations, songs, riddles, and in the form of ritual embroidery on clothes, patterns, ceramic decorations, painting dishes, chests, etc. Here is an example of how the Tree of the World is described in one of the Slavic folk tales that existed in Russia and tells about the extraction of a horse by a hero-hero: forehead red sun ... ". This horse is a mythological symbol of the entire universe

When we say Lada, in our thoughts we have an unfortunate Zhiguli.
Although Lada is the Goddess of love, beauty, family happiness, the patroness of marriage. And also the keeper of the hearth, the wife of Svarog, the mother of Lelya and Dadzhbog ... She belongs to the pantheon of bright gods of Slavic paganism. Our ancestors worshiped them: Drevlyans, Russ, Dregovichi, Polans…

Beregini Rozhanitsy- words that do not require explanation. This goddess is the keeper of the hearth, warmth, nurse, mother, patroness of newlyweds and children, the joy of the elderly.

In October, at the end of all agricultural work, the Slavs played weddings. A person has three important milestones on the path of life: birth, marriage and death. If the first and the last do not depend on us, then the wedding is a special ritual that links together two destinies, two lives - two families.

Wedding, light, holiness, Svarga - the concept of life, truth, connection. At the wedding they played the harp, pipes, horns, tambourines, drums and other musical instruments. There were songs that immersed listeners in the old days. Relatives, embracing their shoulders, sang their ancestral songs, glorified the young. Someone jokingly measured their strength with new relatives, someone ruled in fun undertakings. Then buffoons got down to business - and then hold on! - everyone will get from their antics.

Goodness and peace reigned in the ancient Slavic families. Russians revered their ancestors, gods, kept the traditions of ancient times.
The mother-in-law had assistants: brownies, courtyards, barns, banniki. Her symbol is a duck.

Veles, hair, volokh, sorcerer, sorcerer, hairy, elk, ox, forest, fox, goblin, oleshka, deer - all these words are associated with the forest. Veles children - this is how the Russians call themselves in the "Lay of Igor's Campaign".

The Christians called Veles a "cattle god", but can the totem animals of Veles be called cattle - a bear, a wolf, a sacred cow? No, peoples living in a natural tribal system considered animals equal to people. For example, in Russia, bears are very fond of and consider them brothers. And the bear is Veles. Veles has many images, including in the form of animals.

Rusichi learned a lot from animals, imitated them with their voice, movements, methods of attack and defense.

Veles is an inexhaustible source of knowledge, each animal in his forest is unique. But people have moved away from nature - hence all the troubles of modern civilization. It is time to realize that only a return to naturalness, to healthy natural principles can save the soul and body from final destruction.

We live in a disfigured world, divided into religions, parties, estates, people are valued not by intelligence and strength, but by money, so humanity is fading, and not developing spiritually. For spirituality is in our roots, and nowhere else. Spirituality - knowledge (Vedas). Know Ra (faith), know Rod.
Veles is the keeper of gray antiquity and silent bones of ancestors. The last night of October is the day of commemoration of grandfathers (in the West - Halloween). On this day, the Russians saw off with bonfires and the music of bagpipes and pipes the spirits of nature and relatives who died during the year under the snow.

Dazhdbog, give, rain - words with the same root, meaning "share, distribute." Dazhdbog sent people not only rain, but also the sun, which saturates the earth with light and warmth. Dazhdbog is an autumn sky with clouds, rains, thunderstorms, and sometimes hail.

September 22 - autumn equinox, the holiday of Rod and Rozhanitsy, the day of Dazhdbog and Mokosh. The entire crop has been harvested, the last collections are being made in gardens and orchards. All the inhabitants of a village or city go out into nature, light a fire, roll a burning wheel-sun up the mountain, dance with songs, play pre-wedding and ritual games. Then tables are taken out onto the main street, the best food is placed on them, and a common family feast begins. Neighbors and relatives taste the food prepared by others, praise, all together glorify the Sun, the earth and Mother Russia.

Dazhdbozh's (solar) grandchildren - this is how the Rusichi called themselves. Symbolic signs of the sun (solar rosettes, solstice) were present everywhere among our ancestors - on clothes, dishes, in decorating houses.

Every Russian man is obliged to create a large family - a clan, feed, raise, raise children and become a Dazhdbog. This is his duty, glory, truth. Behind each of us are countless ancestors - our roots, and everyone must give life to the branches-descendants.

A man who does not have children is doomed to starvation, shame, and poverty in old age. The clan should be large, healthy - our ancestors a thousand years ago did not know vodka and smoking, and therefore gave birth to strong and healthy knights and women in labor.

Lada, harmony, love, affection - all this speaks of a tender relationship between husband and wife in a family union aimed at having children and prolonging the Slavic family. Lada is a little girl born in spring with the first streams and snowdrops. Rooks, the first birds arriving home from warm countries, are heralds of the birth of Lada. Together with Lada, flowers and young foliage appear. Where Lada passes, birds begin to sing. The animals also welcome the young goddess, who brings them food after a long, hungry winter.

Lada's favorite birds - pigeons and swans - are compared in our minds with affection and fidelity. Therefore, the girls sing the calls to spring with the voices of birds. Every girl in Russia is Lada.

Lada is gaining strength at Kupala, at this time she is caressed by the rays of Yarila, and a small month is born in her womb - a symbol of life. On June 22, the Slavs celebrate the summer solstice, huge bonfires are lit, a burning sun wheel (meaning "bathing" of the sun) rolls into the water, there are round dances with shouts: "Burn, burn clearly so that it does not go out!" Everyone bathes, plays "brook" and other love games, runs after each other through the forest. Fornication, according to Christians, in fact, was not on the feast. Magi, old people, parents closely watched the youth and, in case of violation of the laws of morality, expelled the guilty from the family - this was at that time the most terrible punishment, because one, without relatives, could not live in ancient times.

Love in Russia was not a joy, but served to procreate, to conceive new children. It is the appearance of children that is the meaning of pairing not only people, but also animals, birds. Only married couples went to the forests at the end of the holiday, under the shade of warm fogs, where they basked and loved until dawn, lighting numerous fires of love throughout Russia, turning the world into a huge burning fiery fern flower, a flower of truth, happiness, naturalness and eternity.

The arrival of Lada also awakened the spirits of nature - goblin, field, water, mermaids.

Makosh, mother, kush, purse, wallet (bag, bag), piggy bank, merchant - these words are related to each other and mean an increase in goodness and wealth.

If Lada is more related to spring water, then Makosh is the goddess of the earth, Mother Earth. Women of antiquity learned to be Makosh in their family. Makosh is that woman who knows how to work in the field, in the garden, in the garden, in the forest, knows medicinal herbs, knows how to raise and properly educate children. Makosh is a goddess who reveals healer secrets to women in summer (Morena in winter).

Makosh is the goddess of life (some Slavic tribes called her Zhiva), she carries a month (a man) in her growing womb after Kupala.

Man in Russia was symbolically represented by the Tree. His parents, grandfathers and great-grandfathers are roots that go back to the depths of time, to hoary antiquity, feeding him with the vital juices of the family. The branches and the crown of the tree are future children and grandchildren, whom every Rusich is looking forward to. He stretches out his hands to the souls of the ancestors - the stars and to the main ancestor - the sun. The Slav does not ask them for favors, like Christians, but simply says - assures them of his firm intention to have a family and children.
If, before marriage, a girl studied the work of Mokosh, then, having married, she performs sacred maternal duties, giving birth and feeding children, teaching them kindness and the right attitude towards nature and relatives. Being Makosh is the sacred duty of all girls and women.

Moraine, pestilence, frost, drizzle (rain), sea, mara, haze, stained, dead, gloomy, trouble. All these words mean darkness, severe cold, death, dampness or unbearable heat. Such sensations visit the sick and dying. Morena is a goddess who fights with spring and, leaving, takes with her the remnants of the past year (cold, snow, darkness), giving way to a new life, spring.

On March 22, the spring equinox begins, after which, as they believed in Russia, spring begins. Before the equinox, our ancestors merrily celebrated Shrove Tuesday. Again bonfires were lit, again in towns and villages, as if at Kolyada, young people gathered in groups, the most cheerful entertainers were chosen for jokes and practical jokes; made ice slides, fortresses for playing snowballs, swings and carousels; troika riding, hand-to-hand fights and wall-to-wall battles were arranged, and in the end - the capture of a snowy town and the burning of an effigy of Morena.

A competition took place right there - who would be the most agile and be able to climb a pole and get a rooster out of there (he was revered as a symbol of the sun, dawn, spring and the goddess Lada - the replacement of Morena), round rolls or boots. A burning wheel was rolled down from the mountain and bonfires were lit - a symbol of warmth and rebirth.

But Morena is not as terrible as it might seem. She is the image of our harsh snowy homeland, which tests everyone for strength and survival and takes only the weak. She loves the strict purity of snow and the transparency of ice, she is pleased with the dance of snowflakes in the deep winter sky. Morena's favorites are owls and lynxes. Russian people are fond of winter-winter, its invigorating cold, sparkling snowdrifts and sonorous ice.

Morena's symbol is the moon. Her face looks sternly at the earth, awakening in the wolves the desire to howl, thickening the fogs in the air and giving rise to the movement of waters in lakes and seas.

Perun, rune (in Russia, these ancient letters were known as “features and cuts” mentioned in many written sources). Speech, stream, prophet, roar, roar, grey. Perun is the great god of the Russians, the god of war and thunder. His weapons are blazing swords, axes, a huge thundering hammer, a mace and a spear that smashes without a miss. Animals and birds of Perun - tours, wolves, crows, falcons. We love and honor Perun among the people. His roaring thunderous voice is mesmerizing. The unearthly brilliance of his weapon, lightning, shocks and evokes awe. The swift flight of blue-lead clouds - his warriors - delights.

Perun was especially revered in times of war and danger. In a bloody battle or during fighting games, everyone tried to ignite the fiery spirit of this formidable ancestor-god.

Although Perun was related to the cold (he was born in the first month of winter), the Days of Perun - his time - began on June 20 and ended in early August. At this time, the Russians celebrated feasts for the soldiers who fell in battle - they gathered on mounds and red mountains, arranged feasts, military fun, measured their strength in running, throwing weapons, swimming, horse racing. They killed a bull bought on a bargain, roasted and ate it, drank honey and kvass. They conducted initiations of young guys who had to pass serious tests into warriors and gird themselves with weapons of the Family.

Our ancestors always had many external enemies, there were constant wars. The shield and sword were revered as a symbol of Perun, his gift to a man. Weapons were worshiped and idolized.

But not only men went into mortal combat. Often, among the dead Russians on the battlefield, the enemies were surprised to find women fighting with their husbands shoulder to shoulder. They were also patronized by the golden-whiskered Perun ...

Svarog, bungled, cook, light, holiness, reduce, color. These words are united by the idea of ​​the creation of life (horn, rock, birth, speech, name). Svarog is the greatest of the Russian gods. This is the progenitor, the ancestor, who gave life to the course, gave people knowledge and speech. He created the entire cosmos - the universe of Svarga. Svarog - in everything. Everything in the world is Svarog, part of it. Among the Balts, he bears the name Sotvaras, among the Iranians - Tvashtar, among the Romans - Saturn, among the Germans - Wodan, among the Etruscans - Satr, and so on - they all have consonant names and similar features. In the myths of the white peoples, God forges with a hammer - creates the world, carving lightning and sparks, for everyone he has one or another relation to the sun.

Svarog is wise, he sits surrounded by our deceased ancestors, smart birds and animals. Like an acorn that gave birth to a huge oak tree, this god gave rise to the Tree of Life. From Svarog-grandfather, gods and people, animals and birds - all living things originate. Svarog resides in every object, in every person, it is obvious, it can be seen, touched, heard.

Svarog - in Navi, in the past, but they remember him (about antiquity). Svarog and in the right, in the future, which we know and for which we live. He is in us, we are part of him, like our descendants.

Svarog is an old sun riding in a chariot, cold and dark.

Chernobog rules in the last days of the year, when the longest night and severe cold. Russians bathe in the hole, joining the winter. Nature is silent in an old man's way, dressing in white snowy clothes. People in houses insulate windows, burn torches and eat what they have grown in the summer, sing songs, tell fairy tales, sew clothes, mend shoes, make toys, heat stoves. And they are waiting for the birth of Khors, preparing outfits for caroling.

Semargl, stench, flicker, Cerberus, Smargle's dog, death - these concepts in their essence mean an otherworldly deity - a fiery wolf or a dog. Among the ancient Slavs, this is a fiery wolf with falcon wings, a very common image. The Russians saw Semargl as a winged wolf or a wolf with wings and the head of a falcon, and sometimes his paws were like those of a falcon. If we recall mythology, we will see that not only the horse was dedicated to the sun, but also the wolf and the falcon. It is worth looking at the chronicle letters, frames, ancient embroideries and decorations of houses, household utensils, armor, and we will see that the wolf-falcon Semargl is found on them very often. For the Rus, Semargl was as important as for the Chinese - the dragon, and for the Celts - the unicorn.

The wolf and the falcon are swift, fearless (they attack a superior enemy), devoted (the wolf, even when hungry, will not devour its relative like a dog). Warriors often identified themselves with wolves (warrior - howling wolf).

Do not forget that the wolf and the falcon clear the forest of weak animals, healing nature and making natural selection. Images of a gray wolf and a falcon are often found in fairy tales, epics, songs, ancient written monuments, such as "The Tale of Igor's Campaign".
Semargl lives in every Slav, who fights against diseases and evil in the human body. Drinking, smoking, lazy, degrading person kills his Semargl, gets sick and dies

Stribog- swift, swift, fast, nimble, aspiration, jet, and even, if you like, a string. All these concepts mean flow, speed, distribution, spreading. If we combine all this into one, we have before us the image of the wind and everything connected with it. This is that warm breath of summer, then a violent gust with rain and thunderstorms, then a hurricane, a tornado, then the cold breath of the north, snowfalls and cold.

Russia is the land of the north, and the icy midnight wind lives in it. Cold and hungry February is just its time, it is in this month that the howl of hungry wolves is especially long and frightening, which Stribog drives with his icy breath to hunt. Only crows bathe in the currents of the north wind. And at night, the quick shadows of predatory lynxes glide through the blizzard, sparkling with yellow eyes and uttering a chilling meow.

In April, Stribog will fly in from the east with a young, warm daytime breeze. At night, he will breathe cold dampness.

In summer, Stribog will blow from noon (south), burning with heat during the day, and caressing with warmth at night. And in autumn, having flown from sunset (west), as in spring, it will warm during the day and cool at night.

In autumn and spring, Stribog disperses the clouds, revealing a warm, bright sun. In the summer it brings rain during the drought so that the crops do not perish, in the winter it rotates the wings of the mills, grinding the grain into flour, from which bread is then kneaded.

The Rus considered themselves Stribog's grandchildren. Stribog is our breath, it is the air in which words sound, smells spread and light is scattered, allowing us to see the surroundings. Stribog is vital to all living things. He is the lord of birds and is often depicted as a blowing head or as a rider.

Horse, chorost, brushwood, cross, cross, armchair, spark, round dance, horo, colo, wheel, brace, stake, carols, circle, blood, red - all these words are related to each other and denote concepts associated with fire, circle, red color. If we merge them into one, we will see the image of the sun, described allegorically.

The Slavs celebrated the beginning of the new year on December 22 - the day of the winter solstice. It was believed that on this day a small bright sun is born in the form of a boy - Khors. The new sun completed the course of the old sun (old year) and opened the course of the next year. While the sun is still weak, the earth is dominated by night and cold inherited from the old year, but every day the Great Horse (as mentioned in the "Tale of Igor's Campaign") is growing, and the sun is getting stronger.

Our ancestors celebrated the solstice with carols, wore Kolovrat (an eight-pointed star) on a pole - the sun, put on the masks of totemic animals that were associated in the minds of people with the images of the ancient gods: the bear - Veles, the cow - Makosh, the goat - the cheerful and at the same time evil hypostasis of Veles , the horse is the sun, the swan is Lada, the duck is Rozhanitsa (the progenitor of the world), the rooster is a symbol of time, sunrise and sunset, and so on.

On the mountain they burned a wheel tied with straw, as if helping the sun to shine, then sledding, skating, skiing, snowball fights, fists and wall-to-wall fights, songs, dances, competitions, games began. People went to visit each other, everyone tried to better treat those who came, so that in the new year there would be abundance in the house.

Severe northern Russia loved valiant fun. Forced to live and work in difficult conditions, our ancestors until the 20th century were known as cheerful and hospitable people who knew how to relax.
Khors is a male deity, embodying the desire of boys and adult husbands for knowledge, spiritual growth, self-improvement, to overcome the difficulties encountered in life and find the right solutions.

Yarilo, fury, spring, Yar (among the northerners in ancient times it meant "village", since they used to live in huts with a hearth), brightness. These words are united by the concept of increasing brightness, light. Indeed, after the arrival of spring, there is a rapid addition of the day and an increase in heat. Everything comes to life, grows, reaches for the sun. Nature is resurrected in the form of the beautiful Lada. Yarilo, melting the snow, lives mother - the earth with melt water.

Yarilo - the sun in the form of a young, full of strength groom rides a horse to his Lada. In a hurry to start a family and give birth to children (harvest, cubs of animals, birds, fish, etc.).

By the summer solstice, Yarilo is gaining full strength. He lives in truth and love with the earth, giving birth to new lives in the summer. By June 22, Yarilo turns into Belbog, the day is the longest, nature is kind to him and loves him. The state of Yarila is the state of all young guys.

In the fourth month of the year (now April), the Russians began the most important agricultural work for the entire Slavic family: plowing, grazing, then hunting, fishing, beekeeping, gardening, and gardening. Such was the life of the peasants (by the way, the word "peasant" came from "cross, kresalo, Khors", and "fireman" - from "fire", which is bred in a furnace).

Readers may have an erroneous opinion that some gods served among the Slavs as the embodiment of evil, others - good. No, Russians, children of nature, accepted her in all manifestations, knew how to be useful to her and gratefully take from her what they need. The gods, like people, combined both principles - both positive and negative. For example, Yarilo gives warmth and light, but if they are used unwisely, there will be a sunstroke. And Morena, although cold, helped Russia more than once, freezing the troops of Hitler and Napoleon.

The Slavic Gods are the progenitors of the Great Slavic Family, and everyone who feels a kindred spiritual connection with the faith of wise ancestors is intuitively drawn to the origins of the Native Faith.

Should we say that the heavenly patrons of the Russian people are always nearby? From a small drop of dew in the morning to the cosmic solar wind, from a fleeting thought of each of us to great achievements for the race - all this is under the close attention of the Slavic Gods and Goddesses, who give reliable protection for all time to those who live according to the precepts of the great Gods and Ancestors. If you need the help of the Native Gods, you need to learn how to respect all living things, because all living things are a continuation of life.

The gods of Slavic mythology support the life of all kinds of matter, maintaining harmony in their life, based on the uniform laws of the heritage of the great Creator. Each of them is in charge of his inherent mission, from the understanding of which the meanings of the Slavic Gods are formed. An unshakable respectful attitude towards the Native Gods will become during a difficult life, and, receiving warnings and tips, you will be able to follow the right Path.

The pantheon of the Slavic Gods is immense, and it is impossible to name all the names, since each name is a great deed in the vastness of the Universe. You will learn about the most striking and extant knowledge on the Slavic information portal Veles. And also you can buy from wood.

* at the age of twelve - the age of 12 years was not chosen by our Ancestors by chance, it is 108 months of the Slavic-Aryan calendar, the period of growing up and gaining initial life experience. In addition, the growth of the child by this age reached 124 cm, or, as they said in ancient times, seven spans in the forehead. Before the passage of the Rites, any child, regardless of gender, was called a child and was under the protective protection of his parents, who were responsible for him.

God Svarog

God Svarog- The Supreme Heavenly God, who controls the course of our Life and the entire World Order of the Universe in the Explicit World.

The Great God Svarog is the Father for many ancient Light Gods and Goddesses, therefore the Orthodox ancestors called all of them Svarozhichs, i.e. Children of God Svarog.

God Svarog, as a loving Father, takes care not only of his Heavenly children and grandchildren, but also of people from all Clans of the Great Race, who are descendants of the Ancient Svarozhichs, Light Heavenly Gods on Midgard-Earth.

But our Great and wise Ancestors, in addition to the Children and Grandchildren of the Supreme God Svarog, also called the Celestial Luminaries - the Suns and Stars *, as well as any Celestial body that appeared in the Sky and sometimes fell from Heaven to Earth (meteorites, fireballs, etc.) d.).

* Suns and Stars - among the Slavs and Aryans, these two concepts were different. Suns were called Luminaries, around which more than 8 Earths (planets) revolved in their orbits, and Stars were called Luminaries, around which no more than 7 Earths (planets) or small Luminaries (dwarf Stars) revolved in their orbits.

The Supreme God Svarog loves wildlife very much and protects various plants and the most beautiful, rare flowers.

Goddess Makosh

Goddess Makosh- Heavenly (Sva) Mother of God, Fair Goddess of a happy lot and Fate.

Together with his daughters, Share and Nedolya, he determines the Fates of the Heavenly Gods, as well as the fate of all people from the Great Race and all the descendants of the Heavenly Clan living on our Midgard-Earth and on all other beautiful Lands of Svarga the Most Pure, weaving for each of them the Threads of Fate .

Therefore, many people turned to the Goddess Makosha to entrust her to weave the Thread of Fate into a ball of her youngest daughter, the Goddess Dole.

Goddess Makosh at all times was a very attentive and caring Patron of weaving and all kinds of needlework, and also made sure that a good harvest grew in the fields where orachi (peasants) put their Soul into their hard work.

It should be remembered that the great Heavenly Goddess Makosh is not only the Patron Goddess of growth and fertility, as many might think, but the Goddess who gives hardworking and diligent people a good harvest.

To those Clans from the Great Race and to all the descendants of the Heavenly Clan, who were not lazy, but worked in the fields, in gardens and gardens in the sweat of their brow, putting their Soul into their hard work, the Goddess Makosh sent her youngest daughter - the blond Goddess of Share.

The same people who worked poorly and negligently in their fields (no matter what kind he was from), got a bad harvest. Therefore, the people said that "from Makosh Dolya came to measure the harvest" or "Makosh Nedolya sent the harvest to measure."

For hardworking people, the Goddess Makosh is the giver of all blessings, therefore, on the Images and Idols of the Goddess Makosh, she was very often depicted with the Horn of Plenty or its symbolic image in the form of a Heavenly Bucket of Seven Stars *.

* The Heavenly Bucket of Seven Stars is the constellation Ursa Major, in the Slavic-Aryan cosmogonic system this constellation is called Makosh, i.e. Bucket's mother.

Orthodox ancestors, invariably following all the instructions of the Goddess Makosh, strive for a calm and measured life, for the ancient traditional way of life, for sensual empathy and hard work.

Goddess Makosh controls the Hall of the Heavenly Swan in the Svarog Circle. Therefore, the Goddess Makosh is very often depicted as a White Swan floating on the boundless Sea-Ocean, i.e. in the sky.

In honor of the Wise Heavenly Mother of God, the Slavs and Arias erected the Great Joys and Temples, for the Goddess Makosh personified not only fate, good luck, prosperity in the Slavic Clans that observe the laws and commandments of the Ancient Light Gods, people also turned to her with a request to increase their Ancient Race, t .e. asked for more children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Anthem-Pravoslavlenie:

Empress Makosh-Mother! Heavenly Mother, Mother of God, weave for us a structured life, a communal life, a great glorious one. We praise Thee, Mother-mentor, virtuous and diligent, now and forever and from Circle to Circle! Taco be, taco be, taco be!

God Veles

God Veles- The Patron God of pastoralists and livestock breeders, as well as the Family Patron of the Western Slavs - the Scotts (Scots), which is why they told everyone from time immemorial that "Veles the cattle God."

Having moved to the British Isles, the ancient Clans of the Slavs - Scotts called all the inhabited provinces - the Land of the Scotts - Scotland (Scotland), and in honor of their Ancestral Patron God Veles they named the lands with the best pastures after him - Wales (Wales, i.e. Veles ).

Since Veles is the Patron God and Ruler of the Heavenly Hall of the Wolf in the Svarog Circle, which is located next to the Heavenly Boundary that separates the Worlds of Light and Darkness, the Higher Gods entrusted Veles to be the supreme Guardian of the Heavenly Gates of the Interworld. These Heavenly Gates are located on the Golden Path of Spiritual Development, which leads to the Heavenly Asgard, as well as to the Heavenly Vyry and the Light Halls of Volhalla.

God Veles always personifies all-round caring, painstaking creative diligence, honesty and determination, perseverance, constancy and master's wisdom, the ability to be responsible for all his deeds, spoken words and committed deeds.

God Veles, guarding the Heavenly Gates of the Interworld, lets only those deceased into Svarga, the Most Pure Souls, who did not spare their lives in defense of their Clans, in defense of the lands of the Fathers and Grandfathers, in defense of the ancient Faith, who worked diligently and creatively for the prosperity of their Clans and who wholeheartedly fulfilled the Two Great Principles: It is sacred to honor our Gods and Ancestors and those who lived according to Conscience in harmony with Mother Nature.

Anthem-Pravoslavlenie:

Velese Bose-Patron! Svarga Dvara guardian! And we glorify Thee, all-kind, for You are our intercessor and support! And do not leave us carrying a prisoner, and protect our fat flocks from pestilence, and fill our granaries with good. Yes, Be with You in one, now and forever, and from Circle to Circle! Taco be, taco be, taco be!

Goddess Marena (Mara)

Goddess Marena (Mara)- The Great Goddess of Winter, Night and Eternal Sleep and Eternal Life.

Goddess Marena, or Marena Svarogovna, is one of the three named sisters of the Wise God Perun.

Very often she is called the Goddess of Death, terminating the earthly life of a person in the Explicit World, but this is not entirely true.

The Goddess Marena does not stop human life, but gives the people of the Race Eternal Life in the World of Glory.

It is believed that the Great Goddess Marena has Ice Halls in the far north of Midgard-Earth, in which She likes to rest after wandering around Svarga the Most Pure.

When the Goddess Madder comes to Midgard-Earth, all Nature falls asleep, goes to rest, plunging into a long three-month sleep, for it is said in the Santiy of the Veda of Perun: with his White Cloak” (Santia 5, sloka 3).

And when Marena Svarogovna leaves for her Ice Halls, on the second day after the day of the Spring Equinox, Nature and diverse life awaken. In honor of the seeing off of the Goddess Madder to the North, the Krasnogor holiday, Maslenitsa-Marena Day, is also celebrated annually, also called the Seeing of the Goddess of Winter (the modern name is Seeing the Russian Winter).

On this day, a doll made of straw is burned, symbolizing not the Goddess Marena, as many people think, but the snowy Winter. After the ritual of burning a straw doll, a handful of ashes were scattered over a field, garden or vegetable garden so that a good, rich harvest would grow. For, as our Ancestors said: “The goddess Vesta came to Midgard-Earth, brought new life to Krasnogor, lit the fire and melted the winter snows, watered the whole earth with living power and woke Marena from sleep. Mother Earth Cheese will give life-giving power to our fields, selective grain will sprout in our fields, so that all our Clans will have a good harvest.

But the Goddess Marena, in addition to observing the rest of Nature on Midgard-Earth, when Mother Nature is gaining life-giving forces for the spring awakening and the life of plants and animals, also observes the life of people. And when the time comes for people from the Clans of the Great Race to go on a long journey along the Golden Path, the Goddess Marena gives instructions to each deceased person in accordance with his earthly Spiritual and worldly life, and also in accordance with the creative experience gained, in which direction he should continue his posthumous The path to the World of Navi or the World of Glory.

The Goddess Marena is the Patroness of the Hall of the Fox in the Svarog Circle.

God Roof

Goddess Rada

Goddess Rada– Goddess of memory, happiness and joy, spiritual bliss, Divine Love, beauty, wisdom and prosperity. One of its meanings is the gift of the sun. Hara is another name of the Goddess Rada, personifying the energy of love, joy and loving service to Krishna.

It helps to achieve internal and external balance, to adjust all spheres of human life, to find the balance of the Soul. Rada, the daughter of the Lady of the Sea and the God of the Sun Ra, lived on the Sun Island. Rada was so beautiful that they began to say that she was prettier than the brightest Sun. Upon learning of this, the Sun God Ra arranged a competition with his daughter - who shines brighter? And after the competition, everyone decided that the Sun shines brighter in the sky, and Rada on Earth.

Rada can be seen after heavy summer rains and thunderstorms in the blue sky - at these moments Rada comes for a short time in one of her most important and vivid images, in the form of a seven-color rainbow stretching half the sky and delighting with its beauty all those who look at the rainbow.

I must say that the main vocation of the Rada is to bring joy to people. And her very name subsequently gave rise to this word - “joy”. And yet, the rainbow is not the true appearance of this bright goddess. The true appearance of Rada is a beautiful young girl. It usually appears somewhere in a forest or a meadow, often near a river or lake, which emphasizes the proximity of the water element, at dawn or before sunset. Rada smiles at everyone she meets during her walks.

God Perun

God Perun(Perkunas, Perkon, Perk, Purusha) - the Patron God of all warriors and many Clans from the Great Race, the protector of the Lands and the Svyatorus Clan (Russians, Belarusians, Estonians, Litas, Lats, Latgals, Zemgals, Glades, Serbs, etc.) from Dark forces, God the Thunderer, who controls Lightning, the son of God Svarog and Lada the Mother of God, the grandson of God Almighty. Patron God of the Hall of the Eagle in the Svarog Circle. God Perun has already arrived to Midgard-Earth three times to protect it and the Clans of the Great Race from the dark forces of the Hellish World.

Dark forces come from different Halls of the Hellish World in order to lure people from the Clans of the Great Race to their place with deceit, flattery and cunning, and if this does not help, then they kidnap people in order to turn them all into obedient slaves in their dark World and prevent them from opportunities to develop spiritually and advance along the Golden Path, as established by God Svarog.

Dark forces penetrate not only to Midgard-Earth, but also to other Light Earths in Svarga the Most Pure. And then there is a battle between the forces of Light and Darkness. Perun already once freed our Ancestors from the Hell captivity and filled up the Gates of the Interworld leading to Hell on Midgard-Earth with the Caucasian mountains.

These battles of Light and Darkness took place at certain intervals: “After the expiration of the Svarozh Circle and Ninety-Nine Circles of Life”, those. after 40,176 years.

After the first three Heavenly Battles between Light and Darkness, when the Light Forces won, God Perun descended to Midgard-Earth to tell people about the events that had taken place and what awaits the Earth in the future, about the onset of dark times and the upcoming Great Asses, t .e. Heavenly Battles.

Fluctuations in time between the Third and the forthcoming decisive Fourth Battle of Light and Darkness can be, in addition to the time indicated by Perun, only one Circle of Life, i.e. 144 Years.

There are also Traditions that God Perun visited Midgard-Earth several more times in order to tell the Hidden Wisdom to the Priests and Elders of the Clans of the Holy Race, how to prepare for dark, hard times, when the Arm of our swastika galaxy will pass through spaces subject to forces from Dark Worlds of Hell.

The dark forces that secretly penetrated Midgard-Earth create all kinds of false religious Cults and specifically try to destroy or denigrate the Cult of God Perun, erase it from the memory of peoples, so that by the time of the Fourth, decisive battle between Light and Darkness, when Perun arrives on Midgard-Earth , people did not know who He was and for what purpose He came.

In our time, a large number of “true” prophecies about the End of the World or the End of Times have appeared, especially in Lunar Cults, about the coming to Midgard-Earth of the Supreme God the Savior. Followers of one world religion call him Christ, and other religions - Messiah, Mosheah, Buddha, Matreya, etc. All this is done so that during the coming of Perun to Earth, white people do not recognize in Him their Supreme God and reject His help, and thereby doom themselves to complete humiliation and death.

During his Third visit to Midgard-Earth, about 40,000 years ago, Perun told people from various Clans of the Great Race and the descendants of the Heavenly Clan in Asgard Iriysk about the future, which the Priests of Belovodye wrote down with Kh'Aryan Runes and preserved for posterity in the Nine Circles " Santii of the Vedas of Perun" (in nine "Books of the Wisdom of God Perun").

Anthem-Pravslav leniye:

Perun! Listen to those who call Thee! Glorious and Trislaven wake up! Blessings of the Light of Peace throughout the Holy Race give! Reveal your beautiful face to your descendants! Instruct us on good deeds, grant the mushrooms More Glory, courage. Turn us away from the lesson of debauchery, give our Clans a multitude of people, now and forever, and from Circle to Circle! Taco be, taco be, taco be!

Goddess Dodola-Virgo

Goddess Dodola-Virgo (Perunitsa)- The Heavenly Goddess of abundant Fertility, who controls rain, thunderstorms and lightning, the wife and assistant of the Supreme God Perun.

The Heavenly Goddess Dodola-Virgo had the right to apply with requests only to female Priestesses serving Her. Therefore, when people needed rain to water fields and meadows, representatives of different Clans brought rich Gifts to the Temple of Dodola-Virgo so that the Priestesses performed the ancient Rite of rain.

During the performance of the ancient Rite of Appeal to the Goddess, the Priestesses put on their white dresses with a special ornament and with a golden fringe at the bottom and performed an ancient ritual rain dance, asking the great Goddess Dodola-Virgo to send down blessed rain on the fields and meadows. And never in my life there was not a single case when the Goddess Dodola-Virgo refused her faithful Priestesses.

Dazhdbog

Dazhdbog- God Tarkh Perunovich, God-Keeper of the ancient Great Wisdom.

He was named Dazhdbog (giving God) for giving the people of the Great Race and the descendants of the Heavenly Clan, Nine Santi (Books).

These Santias, written down by ancient Runes, contain the Sacred Ancient Vedas, the Commandments of Tarkh Perunovich and his instructions. There are various Idols and Images depicting God Tarkh.

On many Images, he holds a gaitan with a Swastika in his hand.

Tarkh is very often called the wise son of God Perun, the grandson of God Svarog, the great-grandson of God Vyshen, which corresponds to the truth *.

* corresponds to the truth - although there is an erroneous opinion: Tarkh Dazhdbog in many ancient sources is very often called Svarozhich, i.e. Heavenly God, and many researchers of antiquity interpret this in such a way that Dazhdbog is the son of God Svarog.

Dazhdbog is the giver of all blessings, happiness and prosperity. Tarkh Dazhdbog was glorified in sacred and folk chants and hymns not only for the happy and dignified life of the Clans of the Great Race, but also for deliverance from the forces of the Dark World. Tarkh did not allow the victory of the dark forces from the Pekelny World, which were gathered by Koshchei on the nearest Moon - Lele, in order to capture Midgard-Earth.

Tarkh Dazhdbog destroyed the Moon along with all the dark forces that were on it. It is reported "Santii of the Vedas of Perun. Circle One”: “You live quietly on Midgard, since ancient times, when the world was established… Remembering from the Vedas about the deeds of Dazhdbog, how he destroyed the strongholds of the Koshcheevs that were on the nearest Moon… Tarkh did not allow the insidious Koshchei to destroy Midgard, as they destroyed Deya… These Koshchei, the rulers of the Grays, perished along with the Moon in a half hour ... But Midgard paid for freedom, Daaria hidden by the Great Flood ... The waters of the Moon created that Flood, they fell to Earth from Heaven like a rainbow, for the Moon split into parts and an army of welders descended to Midgard "(Santia 9, slokas 11-12). In memory of this event, a kind of Rite with a deep meaning ** was performed by all Orthodox people every Summer, on the great spring Slavic-Aryan holiday - Paskhet.

** A rite with a deep meaning - this rite is well known to everyone. On Easter (Easter), colored eggs hit each other, checking whose egg is stronger. The broken egg was called the Koshcheev Egg, i.e. the destroyed Moon (Lelei), and the whole egg was called the Power of Tarkh Dazhdbog.

Dazhdbog Tarkh Perunovich is the Patron God of the Hall of the Race in the Svarog Circle.

Very often, in various ancient Vedic texts, Tarkh Perunovich asks his beautiful sister, the golden-haired Goddess Tara, to help people from the Clans of the Great Race. Together they performed good deeds, helped people settle in the endless expanses of Midgard-Earth. God Tarkh indicated where it would be best to place a settlement and build a Temple or Sanctuary, and his sister, the Goddess Tara, told people from the Great Race which trees should be used for construction. In addition, she taught people to plant new forest plantations in place of cut down trees, so that new trees needed for construction would grow for their descendants. Subsequently, many Clans began to call themselves the grandchildren of Tarkh and Tara, and the territories in which these Clans settled were called Great Tartaria, i.e. the land of Tarh and Tara.

Anthem-Pravoslavlenie:

Dazhdbog Tarkh Perunovich! Glorious and Trislaven wake up! We thank You, the giver of all blessings, happiness and prosperity. And we proclaim great Glory to You for help in our good deeds, and for help in our military deeds, but against dark enemies and all unrighteous evil. May Your Great Power come with all our Clans, now and forever and from Circle to Circle! Taco be, taco be, taco be!

Dark times will last until people kindle the Sacred Fire of God Agni in the altar and in their hearts.

God Semargl (Fire God)

Description of Semargl, compiled on the basis of the works of A. Khinevich "Slavic-Aryan Vedas"

God Semargl (Fire God)- The Highest God, the keeper of the Eternally Living Fire and the guardian of the exact observance of all the Fiery Rites and Fiery Purifications.

Semargl accepts Fiery Gifts, Trebs and bloodless Sacrifices on ancient Slavic and Aryan holidays, especially on Krasnogor, on the Day of God Kupala and on the Supreme Day of God Perun, being an intermediary between people and all the Heavenly Gods.

The Fire God Semargl is the Patron God of the Hall of the Heavenly Serpent in the Svarog Circle.

The Fire God gladly blesses all people from the Clans of the Great Race, who, with a pure Soul and Spirit, observe all the Heavenly Laws and the Many-Wise Commandments of the Light Gods and Ancestors.

Semargl is also called upon in the treatment of sick animals and people, in order to save the sick from various ailments and diseases. When a person's temperature rose, they said that the Fire God settled in the Soul of the sick person. For Semargl, like a Fire Dog, fiercely fights against ailments and diseases, which, like enemies, have made their way into the body or Soul of the sick person. Therefore, it is considered unacceptable to bring down the patient's elevated temperature. The best place for cleansing from ailments is considered to be a bath.

Anthem-Pravoslavlenie:

Semargl Svarozhich! Great Fireman! Pain-pain slept, cleanse the womb, from the child of a person, from every creature, from old and young, You, God's delight. Cleansing with fire, opening the power of Souls, save the child of God, may the twigs perish. We glorify you, we call to ourselves, now and forever and from Circle to Circle! Taco be, taco be, taco be!

Birth of Semargl!

There are references to the appearance of Semargl into the light from the flame. They say that once the heavenly blacksmith Svarog himself, having struck with a magic hammer about, carved divine sparks from the stone. The sparks flared up brightly, and the fiery god Semargl appeared in their flame, sitting on a golden-maned horse of a silver suit. But, seeming a quiet and peaceful hero, Semargl left a scorched trail wherever his horse's foot went.

Beliefs associated with Semargl

The name of the God of Fire is not known for certain, most likely because his name is extremely holy. Holiness is explained by the fact that this God lives not somewhere in the seventh heaven, but directly among earthly people! They try to pronounce his name out loud less often, usually replacing it with allegories.

Since ancient times, the Slavs have associated the emergence of people with Fire. According to some legends, the Slavic Gods created a Man and a Woman from two sticks, between which Fire flared up - the very first flame of love. Semargl also does not let evil into the world.

At night, Semargl stands guard with a fiery sword, and only one day a year does he leave his post, responding to the call of the Bathing Lady, who calls him to love games on the day of the Autumn Equinox. And on the day of the Summer Solstice, after 9 months, children are born at Semargl and Bathing - Kostroma and Kupalo.

Semargl mediator between people and gods

Semargl accepts Fiery Gifts, Trebs and bloodless Sacrifices on ancient holidays, especially on Krasnogor, on the Day of God bathed and on the highest Day of God Perun, is an intermediary between people and all the Heavenly Gods.

Semargl is called upon in the treatment of sick animals and people, in order to save the sick from various ailments and diseases. When a person's temperature rises, they say that the Fire God settled in the Soul of the sick person. For Semargl, like a Fire Dog, fiercely fights against ailments and diseases, which, like enemies, have made their way into the body or Soul of the sick person. Therefore, it is considered unacceptable to bring down the patient's elevated temperature. The best place for cleansing from ailments is considered to be a bath.

Bog Semargl in Slavic mythology:
God Semargl in pagan mythology was one of the sons of the great god Svarog. The children of Svarog were called Svarozhichi, and his son Semargl after birth becomes the god of earthly fire.
One of the Svarozhichs was the god of fire - Semargl, who is sometimes mistakenly considered only a heavenly dog, the guardian of seeds for sowing. This (storage of seeds) was constantly engaged in a much smaller deity - Pereplut.

Mentions of the name Semargl in chronicles

The name of Semargl is mentioned in Russian chronicles - the pantheon of Prince. Vladimir, it came, presumably, from the old Russian “smag” (“I’ll call Karn after him, and Zhlya jump across the Russian land, Smag mooing in a flame rose” i.e. fire, tongue of flame, Fire-Svarozhich - half dog, half snake. Probably , the mediator between the real world and the world under heaven, which in the Vedic tradition is the god of fire - Agni. He is also a penezhny (fiery) snake from conspiracies. Mentioned in the Paisevsky collection of St. Gregory (14th century) and the Chrysostom collection of 1271. Firebog - Yognebozhe, according to the "Veda of the Slavs" by Verkovich, among the Pomak Bulgarians:

Fala ti Yogne God!
Fala ti Yasnu Sun!
You heat up on the earth.
Having baked a chick to the ground ...
Pokrivash e tsyrna muggle,
that sa niche and look.

He, quite possibly, is Rarog, Rarozhek is the son of Svarog, according to Czech medieval sources.
The identification of this god with the Iranian Senmurv (giant magic bird) is considered unjustified, but there is probably a connection with the firebird (the fiery herald of happiness) that brings his happiness.

Simargl (other Russian Semargl, Simargl, Sim-Rgl) - in East Slavic mythology, a deity who was one of the seven (or eight) deities of the Old Russian pantheon (see in the article Slavic mythology), whose idols were installed in Kyiv under the prince Vladimir (980). The name Semargl apparently goes back to the ancient *Sedmor(o)-golvъ, "Semiglav" (compare the polycephaly characteristic of the Slavic gods, in particular, the seven-headed Ruevit). According to another, more controversial hypothesis (K. V. Trever et al.), the name and image of Semargl is an Iranian borrowing and goes back to the mythical bird Senmurv. D. Worth connects Semargl with the Dove bird. The functions of Semargl are unclear; they are probably associated with the sacred number seven and the embodiment of the seven-membered ancient Russian pantheon. It is characteristic that in some texts of the "Kulikov cycle" the name of Semargl is distorted into Rakli, and this deity is regarded as pagan, Tatar. Lit .: Trever K. V., Senmurv-Paskudzh, L., 1937; Jakobson R., While reading vasmer's dictionary, in Selected writings, v. 2, The Hague-P., 1971; Worth D., Dub-Simyrj, in the book: East Slavic and General Linguistics, M., 1978, p. 127-32.
"Myths of the peoples of the world"

Semargl - the most mysterious deity of the Slavs

This cult developed among the Slavs under the influence of the Scythian influence about 3 thousand years ago. Semargl, in all likelihood, meant "seed". This deity among the ancient Slavs was not the most popular, but probably remained the most mysterious to this day. Simargl is a sacred winged dog that guards seeds and crops, revered on a par with the ancient Russian coastlines. Even in the Bronze Age, among the Slavic tribes, there is an image of jumping and somersaulting around young sprouts of dogs. Apparently, these dogs guarded crops from small cattle: chamois, roe deer, wild goats. Semargl among the Slavs was the embodiment of armed good, “good with teeth”, as well as claws and even wings. In some tribes, Semargl was called Pereplut; the cult of this deity was associated with festivities in honor of mermaids, as well as bird-maidens, who were deities of irrigating fields with rain. Rituals in honor of Semargl and the mermaids were held in early January and consisted of prayers for water for the new harvest. Another major holiday of Semargl and the mermaids was the mermaid week from June 19 to 24, ending with the Kupala holiday. Archaeologists in many female burials of the 10th-11th centuries. silver hoop bracelets were found, which fastened the long sleeves of women's shirts. During ritual pagan games, women took off their bracelets before dancing and danced “slippy”, depicting mermaids. This dance was dedicated to the winged dog Semargl, and, apparently, the legend of the frog princess came from him. During the ritual, all participants drank a sacred drink prepared with herbs. Semarglu-Pereplut, his images in the form of a dog were brought gifts, most often goblets with the best wine. On rare surviving images, the sacred dog Semargl was depicted as if growing from the ground. From written sources it becomes clear that the ritual of Semarglu took place with the obligatory participation of boyars and princesses, who brought rich gifts to the idol.

World Cults and Rituals. The power and strength of the ancients." Compiled by Yu.A. Matyukhina. -M.: RIPOL classic, 2011. Pp. 150-151.
Some researchers compare Simargl with the Iranian deity Simurgh (Senmurv), the sacred winged dog, the keeper of plants. According to B.A. Rybakov, Simargl in Russia in the XII-XIII centuries was replaced by Pereplut, which had the same meaning as Semargl. Obviously, Semargl was the deity of some tribe, subject to the great Kyiv prince Vladimir.
Balyazin V.N. “Unofficial history of Russia. Eastern Slavs and the invasion of Batu. - M .: OLMA Media Group, 2007., pp. 46-47

Here is my vision of the Slavic god Semargl, born on the basis of a personal study of legends and traditions:

Semargl Firebog is probably one of the most mysterious light gods of the Slavic world.

Its mystery lies in the fact that many Slavic Gods were created by man in “his likeness” and had a completely human appearance, and Semargl had the image of a winged fiery wolf.

Most likely, the image of Semargl is older than the “humanized” images of the gods……. And it can be the key to your inner strength. Look around you won't see any fire wolves flying, there aren't any outside until you find it inside. Our outer world is a reflection of the inner, do not look for the gods outside, find them inside yourself and then they will appear outside.

Semargl lives in you - this is your spiritual fire, crushing the chains of ignorance, this is the fire of sacred rage, sweeping away the outposts of the enemy in its path, this is the heat of the body, conquering the diseases of the body, this is the fire in the furnace, warming you .... in the modern view - this is even a nuclear energy. All this is the god Semargl, or rather its manifestations

According to legend, Semargl was born from the impact of Svarog's hammer on the Alatyr stone: a flame shot up from the splashed sparks, and a rider on a golden-maned horse appeared in the fire.

The figurativeness of the ancient language speaks of the interaction of divine forces, which there is no point in revealing, because their divinity will be lost. Language is our limited tool, especially after the circumcision of its imagery and the reform carried out by the Bolsheviks. The appearance of Semargl is facilitated by several forces, and at all levels of being they are similar: this is the force of friction and impact. The blow of the hammer of Svarog on the anvil of Alatyr gives rise to Semargl, the blow of a wave of your anger against insurmountable circumstances ignites sacred rage in you, the blow of flint and flint and flint against each other causes the fire of the material world, the interaction of two nuclei causes a nuclear explosion ... .. the interaction of your spiritual and material principles cause spiritual fire.

The mission of Semargl is simple and at the same time complex: the Winged Wolf does not let the dark beginning from the manifest world into the world of Rule, standing guard over Reveal with a “burning” sword. He is the keeper of the interworld of wake and rule, although Nav is also available to him, he can also come from Navi ... ..

He is the shield and sword of the world of people - he can protect, warm, protect, heal, and can destroy, destroy everything in his path.

The keys and connection with Semargl are stored in your subconscious. And you will receive them only when you become whole and do not use this power for selfish purposes, when your consciousness is cleared of dark spots of ignorance, then you will learn to consciously use its power. The Slavic Gods will not trust a nuclear bomb to a child, and the power of Semargl is hidden behind seven seals that will open only to pure consciousness.

Take the image of Semargl, feel the divine fire in your soul, help others understand and accept the Native Gods. Help Semargl spread his wings in each of us, help awaken strength, rage and wolf agility. To the Glory of the Gods and Our Ancestors!

Stribog

Stribog- is the God who controls lightning, whirlwinds, hurricanes, winds and sea storms on Midgard-Earth. We turn to him when a rain cloud is needed in a dry period, or vice versa, in a rainy period, when it is necessary that Stribog disperse the clouds and the Yarilo-Sun warms the fields filled with moisture, gardens and orchards.

Stribog also controls the winds and sandstorms on the Earth Oreya (Mars). In addition, Stribog is the Patron God of the Earth of Stribog (Saturn) in the Yarila-Sun system. But most of all, our ancestors revered Stribog as the destroyer of all kinds of atrocities and the destroyer of evil intentions.

God Varuna (God of World Waters)

God Varuna- God, who controls the Element of the movement of the Starry Sky and observes the sacred paths that connect the Gates of the Interworld in different Halls of the Most Pure Svarga.

Varuna - God, who controls the roads of Human Destiny. Only God Varuna can determine the power of the Spiritual Formation and the completeness of the fulfillment of the Life Purpose by a person.

The raven is the bird Veshaya, the faithful companion of the God-Controller Varuna. He accompanies the Souls of the dead to the Gates of Vyriya in the Great Svarga the Most Pure and informs the Navyam Souls about what lofty goals they have achieved in their Spiritual and Soul development and in fulfilling their Life Purpose on Midgard-Earth.

If God Varuna decides that a person needs to be given the opportunity to complete the act he has begun, which he did not have time to complete due to a sudden death, then he sends his assistant Raven to Dunya.

Raven - the keeper of Living and Dead Water, enables the Soul of the deceased to return to his own body, so that a person, returning to the World of Reveal, could complete his unfinished business.

In the World of Reveal, they say about such a person: “he survived clinical death” or “he returned from the other world.” Strange as it may seem, but after the God-Controller Varuna returns a person to his former life, a person changes his behavior, burns his life in vain and completes the work that he did not have time to finish.

If a person cannot be returned to his own body due to its complete destruction, then the Heavenly God Varuna asks the Goddess Karna to find a suitable body for this Navi Soul.

God Kolyada

God Kolyada- The Supreme God, who controls the Great Changes in the life of the Clans of the Great Race and the descendants of the Heavenly Clan.

In ancient times, the Supreme God Kolyada granted many Clans who moved to the western lands a system for calculating seasonal time for field work - the Calendar (Kolyada gift), as well as his Wise Vedas, commandments and instructions.

Kolyada is the Patron God of military people and Priests. Kolyada was often depicted with a sword in his hand, and the blade of the sword was pointed down.

The sword, pointing down, in ancient times meant the preservation of the Wisdom of the Gods and Ancestors, as well as the unshakable adherence to the Heavenly Laws, as established by God Svarog for all the Halls of the Svarog Circle.

The holiday in honor of God Kolyada falls on the day of the winter solstice, this holiday is also called Menari, i.e. Day of Change. On a holiday, groups of men dressed in the skins of various animals (mummers) walked around the yards, who were called the squads of Kolyada. They sang hymns glorifying Kolyada and arranged special round dances around sick people in order to heal them.

Anthem-Pravoslavlenie:

Bose Kolyada! Glorious and Trislaven wake up! We thank You for the grace-filled help to our birth! And may You be an intercessor in all our deeds, now and forever, and from Circle to Circle! Taco be, taco be, taco be!

God Sventovit

God Sventovit– The Highest Heavenly God, who brings the Pure Spiritual Light of Goodness, Love, Illumination and Enlightenment of the World of Rule into the Souls of all White people from the Clans of the Great Race, as well as into the Souls of the descendants of the Heavenly Clan.

Orthodox ancestors from various Slavic-Aryan Communities revere God Sventovit for his daily Spiritual help in all good creative deeds and undertakings that are aimed at the good and prosperity of our Ancient Clans.

On holidays in honor of the God Sventovit, competitions were held in the knowledge of Ancient Wisdom among the youth. Only those young people who had already reached the Circle of Years* were allowed to compete in the knowledge of the Ancient Wisdom.

* reached the Circle of Years - i.e. age 16 years old.

The meaning of the competitions, which were held by the Priests of Sventovit, was to determine how much the family memory, imaginative thinking, intuition, dexterity and ingenuity are developed in the younger generation.

At the very beginning of the competition, the Priests of Sventovit asked young people questions on various topics and riddles. The winner was the one who answered more questions and riddles faster and wittier. Further, competitions were held for the winners of the first competition, which determined the dexterity and skill of young people in various martial arts, the ability to handle a sword and knife, and accuracy in archery.

Those who passed the above tests were also tested for endurance; for this, young people went to the forest for three weeks, or, as they said in the old days, for distant days.

Anthem-Pravoslavlenie:

Sventovit, our Light Bose! We praise and Trislav thee All-Natively! And you enlighten our Souls and send illumination into our hearts, for Good Bose You are, but to all our Clans. We eternally magnify and call on our Childbirth, may our Souls be with You, now and forever and from Circle to Circle, and at all times, while the Yarilo-Sun shines on us!

God Kupala (Kupala)

God Kupala (Kupala)- God, who gives a person the opportunity to perform all kinds of Ablutions and performs the Rites of Purification of the Teles, Soul and Spirit from various illnesses and diseases. God guides to a joyful and happy life.

Kupala is a cheerful and beautiful God, dressed in light white robes decorated with flowers. On the head of God Kupala there is a wreath of beautiful flowers.

Kupala was revered as the God of the warm time of Summer, wild flowers and wild fruits.

Many Slavic-Aryan Clans engaged in field cultivation revered God Kupala along with the Goddess Makosh and Goddess Tara, as well as the Gods Perun and Veles.

Before the beginning of the harvest and the harvest of field fruits, in honor of God Kupala, a holiday was celebrated at which bloodless sacrifices were made to God Kupala, as well as to all the Ancient Gods and Ancestors.

At the feast, Orthodox ancestors, their bloodless sacrifices and trebs, are thrown into the fire of the Sacred Swastika Altar so that everything sacrificed appears on the festive tables of the Gods and Ancestors.

After bringing bloodless sacrifices from the living fire of the Sacred Swastika Altar, the Community members light candles and flames, which are fixed on wreaths and rafts and sent along the rivers.

At the same time, Orthodox ancestors from various Communities slander their innermost desire or request for deliverance from ailments, illnesses, all sorts of failures, various problems, etc. on a candle or firelight. This rite can be explained as follows.

A burning candle or firelight illuminates the request or desire of the Community, the water of the river remembers them and, evaporating, rises to Heaven, bringing to the Gods all the requests and desires of the Orthodox ancestors.

At the feast, each of the Orthodox ancestors must undergo a complete purification in order to fully cleansed begin to collect the fruits of the field and begin the field harvest. A complete cleansing consists of three parts:

First Cleansing (Purification of the Body). Everyone present at the celebration on the Day of God Kupala must wash his body in sacred waters (rivers, lakes, ponds, etc.) to wash away fatigue and dirt.

The second cleansing (Cleansing of the Soul). In order for those present at the celebration on the Day of God Kupala to be able to purify their Soul, they light large bonfires, and everyone who wants to jump over these bonfires, for Fire burns all ailments and cleanses the aura and Soul of a person.

Third Purification (Purification of the Spirit). Everyone present at the celebration on the Day of God Kupala, as well as those who wish, can purify and strengthen their Spirit. To do this, a Fiery Circle is created from the burning coals of a large fire, along which people from various Tribal, Slavic and Aryan Communities walk barefoot. Those wishing, who for the first time decided to walk on the coals in order to purify and strengthen their Spirit, the Community members lead by the hand through the Fiery Circle.

This holiday is inextricably linked with another event of antiquity. In ancient times, God Perun freed his sisters from captivity in the Caucasus and sent them to purify themselves in the waters of the Sacred Iriy (Irtysh) and in the Sour Cream Clear Lake (Zaisan Island). This event is also narrated in the fifth ball of Songs of the Gamayun Bird.

Due to the fact that Kupala is the Patron God of the Heavenly Hall of the Horse in the Svarog Circle, on this day it is customary to bathe horses, braid colorful ribbons into their manes and decorate them with wildflowers.

Anthem-Pravoslavlenie:

Kupala, our Bose! Glorious and Trislaven forever wake up! We glorify you all-natively, we call on our land! Grant us all cleansing, for our Bozekh in Orthodoxy! Grant our births a plentiful harvest in the fields of suffering, and full bins in our mansions. Now and ever and from Circle to Circle! Taco be, taco be, taco be!

According to the publication "The World in Facts"

Religious ideas of people originate in the early Paleolithic era, about 400 thousand years ago, and are associated with the fact that a person could not explain some natural phenomena and processes, giving all this magical properties, and recognizing his powerlessness in front of natural elements. All pagan beliefs have common features and are somewhat similar to each other, but there are differences. A special religion, which has its own unique pantheon of deities, developed among the Slavic tribes. So let's look back in time, and in our short review from the site, the most famous and revered Slavic Gods are presented.

Genus

In the Slavic religion, as in the beliefs of other peoples of the world, there was a world tree. For our ancestors, it was the Oak, on top of which Rod sat, often depicted as a Falcon.

It was this deity who personified the unity of the clan, watched from above everything that happened. Many rituals and traditions are associated with the cult of the Family, including abundant sacrifices.

Over time, the cult of the Family becomes traditionally female, but an echo of its masculine principle can be the fact that falconry was a purely male occupation, and was a princely privilege.

And about the most unusual religions in the world, read the article on the site.

A person divides the world into two components - friendly to people and hostile, therefore, in many religions, including the Slavic, the eternal struggle between Good and Evil is displayed.

Belobog, who was considered the god of happiness and good luck, was the personification of the bright side, friendly to man. But the dark side was the patrimony of Chernobog. There was a constant struggle between these deities, which was reflected in legends and tales.

Society developed, and over time, faith in Belobog and Chernobog was lost, although their traces were preserved in Russian fairy tales in the images of Fate and Share.

This female deity personified earthly and female fertility, and was especially revered in Slavic society, because according to legend, Kolyada gave people the Sun.

Kolyada was the wife of Belobog, and every spring she brought into the world a new Sun. Chernobog in every possible way prevented the revival of light, and constantly harmed Kolyada. He ordered his wife Mara to kill Kolyada, but she turned into a goat and was able to escape.

Echoes of the cult of Kolyada and the birth of Bozhich-Sun by her can be observed in the celebration of Christmas by Christians, where among the characters there is a goat that saved Kolyada, and carolers carry with them a star, more reminiscent of the Sun.

After sunset, the time of Chernobog and his wife Mary comes. Mara walks between the houses of people, pronouncing their names aloud, and whoever responds to her voice immediately dies.

It is she who is the ruler of the kingdom of the dead, the goddess of Evil, Disease, Terrible Dreams and Night. Mara had thirteen daughters, whom people personified with the most terrible vices and misfortunes.

As in the confrontation between Belbog and Chernobog, in the confrontation between Mary and Kolyada, the struggle of Life and Death, Good and Evil principles that exist on Earth is reflected.

The Slavs usually depicted Bozhich in the form of a heavenly deer with golden horns that shone dazzlingly, giving people light and.

Naturally, he personified the cycle of day and night, the change of seasons and was closely associated with the agricultural cult. Every spring, being reborn, Bozhich gave people joy, hope for a rich harvest, and, consequently, for a happy life.

With the development of the Slavs and the complication of social relations, Bozhich loses its original meaning, and more influential deities personifying the Sun come to replace it.

With the emergence of inequality in Slavic society and strengthening, a formidable and strong God was needed, personifying power and statehood.

It was precisely such a God that Perun became, who eventually became the main Slavic deity of the pre-Christian period of history. The God of Thunder was a reflection of the agricultural cult, responsible for the appearance of rain.

Over time, he becomes a princely god, and Vladimir makes him the main god of Russia, whose idol was installed on a temple in Kyiv. With the adoption of Christianity, he was transformed into Elijah the Prophet, especially revered in Orthodoxy.

The god, especially revered by the Slavs, patronized fire and blacksmithing. It was Svarog who contributed to the development of technology and scientific knowledge.

The worship of fire was one of the very first religious cults, which later became entrenched in all world religions, including Christianity.

The image of the blacksmith god harmoniously entered the legend of the fight against the snake, which sought to destroy the crop. Blacksmiths were especially revered in Russia, maybe because the most common surname among the Slavs is Kuznetsov, and all derivatives of the blacksmith are Koval, Kovalev, Kovalenko.

The Slavs have long worshiped the Sun, and we already know that there was Bozhich, personifying the Sun, as well as the process of reviving nature.

As they developed, the Slavs began to closely contact with the tribes that came from the East, and many historians believe that the Slavic Khors is a direct continuation of the ancient Iranian Khurset.

Be that as it may, but Khors personified the solar disk, the circle among the Slavs. Many words in Russian have the basis “khor” - “good”, “khorom”, that is, the whole world, the whole community, and the round dance, as everyone knows, is an educated circle of people holding hands.

The basis of the Slavic economy, along with agriculture, was cattle breeding, therefore Veles appears in the pantheon of deities, who is responsible for the livestock of the Slavic community.

His traces remained not only in legends, but also in historical documents. So the Russians swear, including by Veles when signing an agreement with the Greeks in 907. It also appears in ancient Russian literary works, including The Tale of Igor's Campaign.

In Christianity, Veles was transformed into St. Blaise, on whom the functions of caring for livestock fell, and his day was often called in Russia the “cow holiday”.

It is believed that this deity was also formed under the influence of Eastern religions, because the ancient Iranians had the deity Simurgh, depicted as.

Historians are so completely clear and cannot determine the functions of the Slavic Semargl, but perhaps he was a messenger between the earthly and heavenly worlds, and therefore was depicted with wings, as well as the guardian of crops.

In Russia, the veneration of Semargl is associated with the fact that Russian society was heterogeneous in national law, and, in addition to the Slavs, a large number of immigrants from the east lived in Kyiv and other cities.

Dadbog, or Dazhdbog, as well as Khors, was the god of the Sun, but had more ancient roots in Slavic society. In legends and literary works, it is often mentioned together with Stribog, and together they personify a clear, cloudless sky.

One of the most revered deities among the Slavs, since the very name reflects the process of turning to God - “God forbid”. As you can see, this idiom has also become entrenched in Christian prayers, and the expression “As God wills” is a clear reflection of the image of the Slavic Dazhbog.

Traces of belief in Dazhbog survived in Russia until the 18th century. It is often mentioned in folk songs and tales.
