Slavic tattoos

... The drawing breathes with the body.

Lucrezia

The heritage of our Ancestors, their cultural and esoteric way of life is an endless treasury useful information, especially in today's vain times, when so little attention is focused on finding and following the truth. In ancient times, the Slavic-Aryans had knowledge of natural energy flows, were able to transform them in accordance with individual needs, taking into account the uniqueness of each energy structure. According to this, Slavic tattoos and their meaning fulfilled a characteristic mission.

Tattoos in the Slavic style are an outstanding artistic image on the body, but a specific semantic symbol that has the established property of directing energy flows that permeate the entire human body.

The right to apply ancient tattoos of the Slavic theme was possessed exclusively by the Magi, who deeply studied the esoteric and energy sphere of activity.

Today, in most cases, people who want to make a drawing on their body do not think about whether the master has the appropriate knowledge and whether he is familiar with the corresponding sacred practice. This issue is given so much attention for a reason. Its meaning lies in the fact that the Slavic tattoo, when applied, should be projected not only on physical body. Exceptionally knowledgeable specialists can broadcast Slavic images on each of the seven human bodies. And it is for this reason that the ancient Slavic tattoos of our ancestors were endowed with a special mysterious power.

If you are interested in Slavic tattoos, you need to take into account one important point- no matter how cool the tattoo parlor is, it is unlikely that they will carry out this service there according to the true knowledge of the Magi. In addition, the program embedded in the symbolism of the Slavic tattoo can be transferred to the next incarnation. Now imagine that a completely different mission is defined in the new incarnation. Thus, the meanings of Slavic tattoos will overlap, and their influence, it is possible, will have the most negative effect. Therefore, you need to think very carefully - do you really need this magical pattern on the skin. And, if you do not want to give up this idea, do not forget that this symbol will affect constantly. Alternatively, you can put on, the meaning of which will correspond to your life situation.

tattoos Slavic images and patterns were applied, as a rule, on the eve of important and responsible events. It happened that the body's own resources were not enough, and then the men made Slavic tattoos for themselves, the meaning of which corresponded to the realization of a specific goal. Other Vedic sources tell how the priests were in the sanctuary and, through a slow methodical process, made sacred drawings on the skin, which strengthened the magical connection and more accurately tuned the sensations necessary in esoteric practices.

Slavic tattoos can be visible and secret. In the first case, the image is applied to the open part of the body - hands, face, neck. Thus, the desire to demonstrate to society belonging to the Slavic culture may be pursued. Hidden Slavic tattoos and their meaning have a hidden meaning and help to correct certain aspects of human activity, while remaining invisible. But there is no need to harbor illusions and assume that if the drawing is invisible to prying eyes, then it is not able to have an impact. The effect of the inflicted protective symbol independently and permanently.

Male Slavic tattoos give strength of mind and clarity of consciousness, protect from evil eyes and endow appearance militant traits. Preference is given to tattoos - Perun, Yarila, Svarog. The image of Perun, the patron saint of a good army, determines omnipotence and knows the fate of warriors. The artistic depiction of Yarila as the embodiment of valiant strength sets the most powerful youthful energy. Svarog is the forefather of everything created and endows the bearer of his appearance with purity of intention, clarity of thought, striving for true ideals. Wise Veles will help to comprehend hard work and striving for the right goals, which will certainly be the beginning of success in any business.

If you want as a tattoo slavic sign, you should choose a Vedic artistic motif for yourself. Gromovik is one of the popular sketches for the future drawing. The solar symbol protects from unclean enemy thoughts. Molvinets will make you impregnable for envy and witchcraft damage. Physical, mental and mental illnesses will not bother you thanks to the Slavic tattoo Odolen Grass, and the Fern Flower will certainly serve to reveal and strengthen the power of the Spirit.

It should be emphasized that runes and runic inscriptions are becoming more and more popular in the art of underwear and carry many meanings. For girls, for example, the Slavic tattoo of the Dazhdbog rune is a symbol of financial and family well-being. The warmth of the hearth will be supported by the rune Support. The magical content of whole runic ties, according to the knowledge of our ancestors, combined a harmoniously composed message that contributed to the fulfillment of desires.

Scandinavian tattoos give courage and courage to their owners. Anyone who chooses sketches of Scandinavian tattoos respects the history and traditional culture of Scandinavia. In particular, the symbol will suit both a titled athlete and anyone involved in hard physical work.

It is impossible not to mention the Celtic tattoo designs, which are among the most famous and sought after in the world, impressing with the beauty of mysterious lines. The Celtic artistic heritage is characterized by an alluring depth of meaning and inspires with graceful decorative elements.

If you nevertheless decided on the desire to apply to the skin, and now you are faced with the task of choosing the image of the necessary value, the Veles Slavic site offers a large collection of photographic sketches. But, in any case, be attentive to the choice and try to find a master in charge. Thus, you will show respect for the knowledge accumulated by the forefathers - greatest heritage ancestors.
