Slavic-Aryan Vedic symbols were also used and continue to be used until now in the territory of the Caucasus. Archaeologists have found many swastika symbols on the territory of Dagestan, Ossetia, Georgia, Ingushetia and Chechnya.

The album contains more than 550 photos that destroy our false idea about it. ancient symbol and get rid of the narrow view of the swastika only in the context of the Second World War.

Vedic symbols in the Caucasus

Swastika symbols are carved in stone and wood, found in carpet ornaments and jewelry. They decorated weapons and were part of the state symbols. For example, the standard with the image of a wolf with a swastika was a symbol of the Avar khans.

In Dagestan, quite often there are swastikas carved on stones, which were embedded in the walls of various buildings. It is very difficult to determine the age of these stones, since the time of construction of the building usually does not coincide with the time of manufacture of stones with drawings. The reason is simple - the stones changed their place of residence many times, because they were taken from old, destroyed structures. The only thing that scientists can say for certain about this is that “the stones are most likely several hundred years old.”

The swastika was discovered in South Ossetia at the archaeological sites of the so-called "Koban culture" - the archaeological culture of the Bronze - Iron Age (XII-IV centuries BC). It is so named after the Ossetian village of Upper Koban, near which the first excavations were carried out in 1869. In particular, bronze battle axes, daggers and maces, belt buckles, as well as bronze diadems and gold clothing plaques with a swastika pattern were found.

Swastika symbols of various types, both with twisted and rectangular ends, are depicted on numerous tower buildings and crypts that are located on the territory of Chechnya. They are also attributed to the Koban culture of the beginning of the 1st millennium BC.

Towers in Chechnya.

There are hundreds of such towers in Chechnya. On the territory of the Argun Reserve there are more than 300 residential and several dozen combat, and at the beginning of the 19th century there were dozens of times more. A hundred years ago, the Argun gorge was called the gorge of towers. They were built so that from the parapet one could see the fire in the window of the nearest one. Even the chroniclers of Genghis Khan wrote about the war with people living in stone towers and about the destruction of these towers. Unfortunately, the constant wars that have swept through this territory, including the most recent ones, have gradually destroyed most of these amazing buildings.

In Ingushetia, similar battle towers also rise among the houses. Archaeologists have excavated several burial grounds, where ancient swastika images were also found. For example, in the Nesterovsky burial ground - an ancient cemetery near the Nesterovskaya station, which dates back to the 6th-4th centuries BC. In the 30s and 40s of the XX century, 53 graves were explored, where archaeologists found bronze and iron bracelets, hryvnias, buckles, rings, swords, spearheads, clay vessels, etc. These artifacts are again attributed to the Koban culture, although in many things typical of the Scythians were found in the graves, for example, the famous Scythian akinaki swords.

In Georgia, you will also find towers and Vedic solar symbols. Previously, Georgians, or rather Svans, lived in these towers. The first floor was used as a corral for livestock, the next floors served as a kitchen, bedroom and just living quarters. The attic with loopholes served for observation and protection from enemies. People still live in the towers. Some are building modern houses to them.

In addition to the usual swastika symbols, another symbol of the sun is used in Georgia, the so-called "borjgali". The round rays of the symbol denoted the sun's rays, and their roundness denoted the eternity of movement.

It is clear that the peoples who currently inhabit the territory of the Caucasus attribute all these archaeological, architectural and cultural artifacts exclusively to themselves.

For example, the Chechens proudly declare that it was their skillful ancestors who built such a complex system of military signal towers, the Avars consider the swastika to be their primordial sign, and so on. However, even our cursory review of some archaeological and architectural monuments of the past shows that that once upon a time in the territory of the Caucasus there was some kind of single state with a single culture.

Which?

Historians, even if they have raised this question, cannot or do not want to say anything intelligible about this. The most they can do is shyly declare about some "disappeared people" or some "single ethnic community" that previously inhabited the area and actively used all these cult symbols and created all these structures and military systems that various tribes inherited, came to these territories much later. Representatives of the same "community" were the teachers of these tribes and for some time constituted their elite.

So what is this "single ethnic community"? The answer is Slavic-Aryans.

The basis for such a statement is the rare slips of the tongue of scientists who are engaged in archaeological research in the Caucasus. For example, they noticed that among the swastika signs found in Chechnya, there are many others, which they correlate with the signs of the Sumerian pictographic writing and with the letters of the archaic Etruscan alphabet. Or that the monochrome ceramics of Georgia, which are found in Meskheti and on the Trialeti plateau, are similar to the Crete-Mycenaean monuments. Scientists also noticed that if ordinary swastikas are quite common in the world, then swastika spirals are found, in addition to the Northeast Caucasus, only in Europe and pre-Columbian America.

Only one people had the opportunity to get to all these places, and they really were there, lived and left their sacred symbols. This is Slavic-Aryans. Confirmation that the Slavic-Aryan Vedic culture is the source is the fact that only the Slavic-Aryans used 144 varieties of the swastika.

Today, finally, it became known what is hidden behind the "scientific" definition - "Koban culture", and where bronze and iron axes with swastikas, maces and knives, as well as serious fortifications could appear in the Caucasus.

Actually, they came up with it well - to give names to some ancient culture by the name of modern locality. So it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to understand what's what, and who came from where.

So, about three thousand years ago, on the lands from the Danube and the Carpathians to the Crimea, North Caucasus and the Volga there was a state called Ruskolan. Scientists disagree on how long it existed. Someone claims that it is 1600 years old, someone - 2500. Someone says that it ceased to exist in the 4th century AD, others call it the 10th century. At the moment it is not so important. The most important thing is that it became known that the state of the Rus - Ruskolan, Russian land - existed in the Caucasus for at least one and a half thousand years, and information about this has been preserved in various historical documents.

"Avesta" tells about the main city of the Scythians in the Caucasus near one of the highest mountains in the world. As you know, Elbrus is the highest mountain not only in the Caucasus, but also in Europe in general. "Rig Veda" tells about the main city of the Rus all on the same Elbrus. The ancient Greek geographer Strabo, who lived in the 1st century. BC. - at the beginning of the 1st c. AD, writes about the temple of the Sun and the sanctuary of the Golden Fleece in the sacred city of the Ross, in the Elbrus region, on the top of Mount Tuzuluk. Kiyar is mentioned in the Book of Veles. Judging by the text, Kiyar, or the city of Kiy the Old, was founded in the 9th century BC. Sometimes it was also called Kiyar Antsky, after the name of the Slavic tribe Antes. From everything it turns out that Kyiv on the Drepre, the capital of Kievan Rus, is not at all the first Kyiv and not so ancient.

Archaeological expeditions were periodically sent to the site of the capital of the ancient Slavic city of Kiyara in the Elbrus region. Five expeditions were carried out: in 1851, 1881, 1914, 2001 and 2002. What did the archaeologists find?

“... Near Mount Karakaya, in the Rocky Range at an altitude of 3646 meters above sea level between the villages of Upper Chegem and Bezengi on the eastern side of Elbrus, traces of the capital of Ruskolani, the city of Kiyar, were found, which existed long before the birth of Christ, which is mentioned in many legends and epics different peoples world, as well as the oldest astronomical observatory - the Temple of the Sun, described by the ancient historian Al Masudi in his books exactly as the Temple of the Sun. The location of the found city exactly matches the indications from ancient sources, and later the Turkish traveler of the 17th century, Evliya Celebi, confirmed the location of the city ...

There is evidence that at the turn of our era the temple was plundered by the Bosporus king Farnak. The temple was finally destroyed in IV AD. Goths and Huns. Even the dimensions of the temple are known; 60 cubits (about 20 meters) in length, 20 (6-8 meters) in width and 15 (up to 10 meters) in height, as well as the number of windows and doors - 12 according to the number of signs of the Zodiac ...

On Mount Karakaya, the remains of an ancient temple, caves and graves were found. An incredible number of settlements, ruins of temples have been discovered, and a lot of them have been preserved quite well. Menhirs were found in a valley near the foot of Mount Karakaya, on the Bechesyn plateau - high man-made stones similar to wooden pagan idols ...

In addition, in the central part of the Caucasus, at the northern foot of Elbrus, in the late 70s and early 80s of the XX century, an ancient center of metallurgical production was discovered, the remains of smelting furnaces, settlements, burial grounds ...

Summing up the results of the work of the expeditions of the 1880s and 2001, which discovered the concentration of traces of ancient metallurgy, deposits of coal, silver, iron, as well as astronomical, cult and other archaeological objects within a radius of several kilometers, we can confidently assume the discovery of one of the most ancient cultural and administrative centers of the Slavs in the Elbrus region ... "

It is rich in bright myths and divine creatures. Modern interest in the faith of the ancient Slavs is constantly and steadily growing. People are attracted not only by the amazing legends and myths from the world of the ancient Slavs, but also by the runes and the bewitching symbolism used by our distant ancestors.

Features of the Old Slavic faith

Quite abrupt and few information about the religion of the ancient Slavs has come down to our time. However, scientists were able to lift the veil of secrecy and find out the main features of their faith.

So, for example, now we know that the most revered deity among our ancestors was the formidable and powerful god Perun. He was subject to thunder and lightning. Perun was considered the patron of the prince and his fighting squad. In addition to Perun, the ancient Slavs revered others mythical creatures. The most formidable of them were: the werewolf Volkodlak; vampires called Ghouls; fire bird Rarog.

In the ancient Slavic pantheon, in addition to the formidable Perun, there were other deities. It:

• Dazhbog- solar deity patronizing spring
• God Horse- representing the sun
• Stribog- being the wind
• Goddess Makosh- she patronized women, keepers of the hearth and comfort
• Semargl- he was a kind of Slavic Charon
• Svarog- patron god of blacksmiths

Hoping for the benevolent will of their gods, the Slavs also used special symbols that were supposed to protect them and bring them.

Symbols could be worn on the body in the form of jewelry, embroidered on clothes, applied to the walls of dwellings or sanctuaries. Amulets with these signs were made according to the date of birth.

The Slavs in ancient times had several dozen unique symbols, each of which had its own purpose and interpretation. Here is an interpretation of the most famous of them.

The main ancient Slavic symbols

altar boy

The symbol means the indivisible unity of the ancient Slavic family. The ancient Slavs depicted this symbol on special and ritual altars, on which sacrifices were made in honor of the race, people and family clan.

Svarozhich

This symbol personified the power of Svarog. The Slavs believed that this mystical symbol protected their lives from evil and death.

This symbol was used in Russia by the ancient sorcerers to save and protect precious holy scrolls. It was also popular among warriors who defended their land and their family lineage from enemy raids.

This symbol personified the supreme god Perun. The ancient Slavs believed that this sign granted longevity and an endless source of life-giving forces. Later, he was revered by the Old Believers.

Ratiborets

A sign of fire and courage, courage and fearlessness. He was usually depicted on the armor of brave warriors, weapons or on the banners of military squads. Our ancestors believed that Ratiborets could blind enemy warriors and force them to cowardly run away from the battlefield.

Rysich

This symbol was a family amulet for the ancient Slavs. It was applied to the walls of pagan Sanctuaries, as well as to the sacred altars of altars. Later, he began to be depicted on all Slavic buildings of antiquity. Ancestors believed that it was this mystical sign that was the most reliable protector from evil otherworldly forces and unfriendly creatures from the afterlife.

Wedding attendant

This symbol was considered the most reliable family amulet. It symbolized the close and kindred union of Slavic clans. The interweaving of two systems of the swastika into one large system, depicted on this symbol, symbolized the union of the male fiery essence with the female principle of water. This symbol protected the newlyweds from anger and separation.

dunia

This symbol meant the union of the worlds of Heaven and Earth. It served to protect the unity of the family family, the continuity of its different generations. All the altars that the ancient Slavs erected to honor their ancestors were made in the form of this particular symbol.

Kolovrat

It really was the most popular symbol in Russia. Ancestors believed that he carried the protection and patronage of all the ancient Slavic gods: Perun, Svarog, Dazhdbog and Khors.

The ancients believed that Kolovrat protects them from unclean forces, strengthens the faith and physical strength of people. That is why Kolovrat was very common in the culture of the Slavs. This symbol is still the most recognizable symbol of Slavic pagan culture.

sky boar

This symbol marked a divine chamber. He concealed sacred and earthly wisdom. At the same time, the same sign meant the continuity and relationship of the past with. It was commonly used by people who wished to achieve complete insight into the truth.

Light

Such a symbol meant a strong fusion of two mythical lines: the earthly and the divine lines. It symbolized a certain Universal Whirlwind, which, as the ancient Slavs believed, helped mortals to discover the essence of being for themselves.

Svitovit

This is a mystical sign of the eternal connection between the Fire of heaven and the existence of ordinary people on earth. From this connection, the ancestors believed, new and completely innocent souls are born, preparing for a material birth on earth. Pregnant women embroidered this amulet on their outfits and sundresses so that live and strong successors of the family family were born.

Swastika

This is also a fairly popular ancient Slavic symbol. Among the Slavs who lived in antiquity, he was understood as a symbol of the eternal renewal of the world. People used this sign as an additional protection of legality and security around. After all, the ancient Slavs rightly believed that the well-being of the people themselves directly depends on law and order.

Solard

The symbol demonstrated the generosity and fertility of the Slavic Mother Earth. He brought prosperity, security, peace and prosperity to the Slavs and their families, as well as to their subsequent descendants.

Vseslavets

Fiery and saving symbolic sign. He saved dwellings and other buildings from fire, family associations - from violent disputes and irreconcilable differences, family births - from bloody internecine wars. It was believed that the symbol of Vseslavets would lead all Slavs to harmony and eternal unity.

Volot

Slavic sign, giving the Slavs unprecedented heroic strength. The power of their mythical divine beings to do decent deeds and to protect the homeland of their ancestors. It was used as body amulets and ritual signs by the Magi.

Svyatoch

This is an image of spiritual rebirth and enlightenment of the entire Slavic race. He combined the Kolovrat of a bright fiery color, moving along with the Multifaceted World, which combined the golden mythological Cross, symbolizing enlightenment, and the blue Heavenly Cross, meaning purity and virtue.

Perunica

A well-known symbol of prosperity among the ancient Slavs. Perunitsa is the lightning of Perun. It symbolizes a spark of light in endless darkness. Perunica destroys dark forces and heralds victory. Usually the ancient Slavs wove Perunitsa into some other sign, believing that in doing so they increase its magical power.

Black Sun

This symbol was originally used exclusively by priests. But gradually it became more widespread not only among the Slavs, but also among the peoples of the Scandinavian Peninsula.

This sign symbolizes the spiritual connection of its bearer with his ancestors. And not only with the closest descendants, but with the entire Slavic family in general. The ancient Magi believed that the Black Sun not only endows a person with great inexhaustible power, but also imposes a great responsibility on him.

Star of Lada

It was a fairly common mythical sign among the Slavs. It was used both exclusively for everyday purposes and in the priestly cult. The star of Lada resembles a large flame, from which four long fiery tongues burst out rapidly and widely.

These flames symbolized faith, justice, independence and integrity. It was believed that this symbol can protect a person from harmful and malevolent energy. Usually it was used by women to replenish their wisdom and learn the wisdom of their ancestors.

fireworks

It was an exclusively female ancient Slavic symbol. Married women hoped with the help of Ognevitsa to protect themselves from the bad influence of others, whether it be open hostility. Usually women wore this symbol in the form of an amulet made of silver jewelry or wood. It was believed that Ognevitsa possesses fertile and inexorable energy.

Source

Source - a sign that is directly interconnected with internal energy human body. The ancient Slavs believed that in the bodies of all people there is a certain Center of Power, the care of which is directly related to health. The Source symbol cleansed human energy and healed even the most serious illnesses and ailments. Men wore this symbol on the ornament of their clothes or as an amulet around their neck.

Cross of Svarog

This symbol was rarely used by the ancient Slavs as a single symbol of the deity. Most often, the Cross of Svarog was used in embroidery to give it harmony or to enhance the effect of symbols adjacent to it. The cross of Svarog symbolizes the presence everywhere of the great god Svarog - the blacksmith of the Universe among the ancient Slavs.

The cross of Svarog among the ancestors was the visible embodiment of the omnipotence of Svarog and his total control over all living things. The ancients believed that Svarog is omnipresent and knows everything about the life of mortals. That is why the ancient Slavs expressed their respect to him through this amazing symbol.

A particular person, like the whole people, constantly lives in a system of symbols. The same language (or speech) is a system of symbols. If you say "A man is running (crawling)", then there is little symbolism here. And in the phrase "A person runs (crawls) to work" the emotional attitude of a person to his work is already symbolically expressed. And there are many such examples.

Symbolic genus code

There are no words and even sounds in any speech that would not reflect the symbolism of both the clan and the people. Moreover, all languages ​​of the world are derivatives of the symbolic reflection of the world in the human mind. The Slavs are a powerful and great people, and it is quite natural that such a people had their own symbols, and their history is much older and richer than it is now commonly believed. Slavic symbols from the languages ​​of the Slavic peoples cannot disappear as long as the Slavs are existing in this world. Saying the word "okay", we remember the god Lado, "maybe" - Mokosh, "ardent", "old" - Yarila. The core of speech and language is 450-500 word-symbols, which are the primary code of the very body of the people, which is woven into the realities of life, and which came to the present from such a distant past that no physical memory can hold. And speech in symbolic form has all this in itself to the smallest detail.

Modern historians need to look for things in the ground by excavating. More effort needs to be put into decoding speech in order to know the real story. It is enough to realize with what derogatory symbolic meaning for example, the word “collective farmer” entered our speech in order to understand what kind of phenomenon the collective farm was in the life of people.

Your place in the world

What does it mean for us to understand Slavic symbols and their meaning? This is to find your place on planet Earth, this is to remember that the Slavic period in our history is just a not very long segment in a much larger history, this is to remember our beginnings, origins. And then our choice of ways of development of a kind in the future will not be erroneous.

Kolovrat, the Slavic symbol, having entered the consciousness of the people, is able to sweep away everything false from our lives in a single moment, leaving only the right and right. The meaning of this symbol is that everything in the Universe has a repetitive, cyclic nature of development. What contradicts Kolovrat disappears, what follows him will be repeated forever, that is, it will become immortal.

About the life of peoples and clans

Today, big-browed scientists with great aplomb about a new understanding of the essence human being they say that all living beings, including man, are, figuratively speaking, the children of the Sun. And it is presented as something new and profound. But it is enough to remember that Yarilo is shining over our heads, and we are God's grandchildren, and the rains irrigate the earth, and at one moment everything falls into place. We are the descendants of those who gave birth to the very civilization of people on Earth precisely by creating a symbolic reflection of the world in the minds of people. And we must inherit the place in the universal civilization of our ancestors and continue their noble activity.

Slavic gods and their symbols

An ancient hymn says: “Svarog is nothing, from which everything is born, and everything returns to nothing. At first, he gave birth to a wondrous garden, and in its lands he put the grain from which it grew And he left it to his children, whom he brought out of the garden, so that they keep it and grow it. Yar gave power, Dazhd - approval, and Mara - the rule of how to bring things out of non-existence into existence, how to return things from existence to non-existence. But Svarog himself is always existing and always not existing. He does not come and He does not leave. He is being and not being. He is, and he is not. He is infinitely powerful and therefore does not show power, so Yav itself is his word to us. "

In the Sea of ​​Azov there are Stone graves, in one of the caves of which there is an inscription on the wall: "Ar, your hands are on the ral, next to your hands are the hands of your gods." And below are Slavic symbols, a whole row. A record that has been read by the Slavs for more than 15 thousand years without translation. To understand world history, this antiquity is more important than all the Egyptian pyramids and Stonehenge. Therefore, it is simply necessary for a historian and theologian to study Slavic symbols and their meaning. And they are being studied, only the results of these studies do not fall into the eyes of the public. And those who do it on their own initiative are persecuted up to and including murder. The reason for this state of affairs is the false conception of the development of mankind. But the canon of Kolovrat is inevitable, and the era of the melting of informational ice will replace the fierce era.

Worldview concepts

Their humanity has few, only five:

1. Vedic. The core, seed and word of this concept - man is a potential god, he is led to divinity by the creative efforts of the soul.
2. The concept of Torah is God's chosen people for the priesthood over all mankind. Why, no explanation.
3. The concept of fading - good was once poured into the pre-existing evil and now, dissolving, it fades. Fatalism.
4. The God-fighting concept - a person fights with his creator in order to get the right to create and not to be a subject worker and slave to him.
5. The concept of unconsciousness - believing, you will find.

Representatives of the Vedic concept constantly cognized the world, and their knowledge was fixed in symbolism, both in verbal form and in pictorial form. Therefore, in Vedism there is such a rich symbolism. Other concepts took this symbolism and transformed it, nothing more. Slavic symbols were introduced into our peoples by representatives of the Vedic concept of worldview.

According to the concepts, religions were created in order to bring these concepts into the brains of the general population. The Vedic concept of knowing the world has never been hidden, and therefore its religion is also called Vedic, because secret knowledge, and even more knowledge, is evil. Slavic gods and their symbols are the most complete variety of the Vedic religion, which is why such close attention to it is given by other religions, which are based on other worldview concepts. They simply take its symbolism and rethink it, often completely distancing themselves from the fact that the Universe is known through symbols. The same cross never before Christianity symbolized the instrument of torture and the death of the Savior. On the contrary, the cross is a symbol of the Savior, and the phrase “to put up a cross” meant to affirm something, to make it unshakable.

Slavic religions

They are very varied. And none of them claimed primacy over all the others, because this contradicts the very Vedic concept of knowing the world. Medieval Pomors knew something else in principle, absolutely different from what the inhabitants of the Black Sea region and Taurida knew. They didn’t even have an analogue of Perun, because thunder and lightning are a rare and not formidable phenomenon for them. Among the Dnieper Slavs, Stribog is even hard to call a god, because here people rarely saw such winds that the oaks turned upside down. But Dana, the goddess of water and the Dnieper itself, is so generous, beneficent and loving people that even many songs began with her glorification: "Dana, Dana, Dannaya, happiness will come because of the Danube" (that is, the river). Although the song itself was sung by a girl about a guy who loves her and in the evening will just come on a date.

And all the rivers were called: Don, Dniester, Danube, Donets and the like. And the saying: "All rains are silver, and on the Great Day (March 22) Dan is golden." Slavic symbols and their meaning tell us, living in the 21st century, so simply and clearly about the life and life of our ancestors that there is no need to read multi-volume and boring works on this topic.

Why the Slavic peoples have spread so much around the world and why they are so quarrelsome with each other has a clear, mythological and figurative explanation. Here is this myth (mit, mark, meta, since there was no “f” sound in Slavic speech until the 18th century):

"The time has come that the Slavs became so powerful that they no longer needed Svyatogor (the personification of the bright, holy power). And their families converged on And they began to find out in endless martial arts which of them was more powerful. Only one Rus refused to pour his native blood And he left the fertile land to the north, to the temple of his totem sign (attacking falcon - rerik, rurik), which was on the island of Ryuyan. And the rest of the clans continued their martial arts. And, finally, the Polovtsian clan turned out to be the most powerful. And the Magi said : "Not for good, you became the first among equals. Everyone is angry and will scatter in different directions, taking a grudge against you. And this resentment will survive you, they will look for you in each other even when the memory of you will come down from the Earth. And Rerik will return and return Svyatogor. And you, Polovtsian clan, will lose your militancy and be insulted by many, until Svyatogor turns his gaze on you. Then you will become the first among equals, but not by your strength, but by love.

So the calling of the Rurikovichs to reign (not to reign) in the Slavic lands is a religious act, not a cultural one. And it is interesting that this myth, created on the basis of real events in the 3rd century AD, drew the main line in the development of the history of all of Europe. All the main events of 2000 years (including two world wars) took place on the lands of the Polovtsian clan, which lost its name, but acquired high moral principles that no one else in the world could ever reach. And he suffers for the whole world, bearing all his sins.

Religious symbols for the masses

The whole depth of the Vedic concept of knowledge of the world and Slavic religion ordinary people could never understand. And not because it's complicated. The townsfolk are simply deepened into reality so much that they simply do not need anything that goes beyond these limits. Slavic symbols were created for them, and their meaning was explained through the segmentation of large images. In this way, the Magi introduced the knowledge that was necessary for their life and the struggle for this life.

Rituals, hymns, songs, graphic and sculptural representations of religious symbols brought common interests, culture and ideas into the minds of people. Without this, two blood brothers are more likely to become enemies than two strangers, because brothers communicate constantly, and strangers occasionally. Without religiosity, not only large, but also small human communities cannot exist. That is why the native magicians are so important, who serve their native religion for the existence of the people in the world.

Slavic symbols and charms that form the system

1. Kolovrat - the main, original symbol Symbolizes the flow of heavenly (Sva - sky) forces to Earth.
2. The symbol of Svarog himself. This swastika has the name "fern color", which, as you know, blooms once a year - on the night of June 22. But this is already a popular understanding of the religious Vedic symbol. In fact, it symbolizes the unknowable beginning, it is a fiery symbol of the purity of the spirit. He helps people seek true wealth in their souls.
3. A tree whose grain was thrown by Svarog himself. Slavic symbol of the genus. It grows from the past into the future. Connects the times and parts of the family: departed, living, future parts. The veneration of ancestors began precisely with a glorifying hymn to this tree. “Palm Week” is not a Christian term, but a Vedic one, where the Foremother is the UPPER Baba. It was to such foremothers that the Getian Faust descended and brought out images of Paris and Helen before the emperor.

The amulet is a kind of action that puts a limit to something evil and aggressive, which is contrary to the canons of being. Symbolically, it can be denoted by a graphic image or a word. The system formed by graphic symbols is suitable for all people, because the flow heavenly power sets such limits (shores) that nothing can overcome. With other signs, you need to behave with an understanding of what you are doing. Slavic symbols and amulets required a meaningful approach.

The society that was created by the Magi of the Vedic religion

The whole society was divided into two parts: twice-born and once-born. The first birth is understandable, and it is inherent in all people. Slavic protective symbols were different for all twice-born. To be born a second time meant to be assigned to one of the strata of society:

1. magicians, sorcerers, sorcerers and healers - there is no hierarchy in this layer of society, everyone performs the role to which he feels called;
2. princes and warriors - there is a strict hierarchy, but the prince is accepted by the warriors and is not appointed by anyone;
3. arias, they are also ratai, that is, in a modern way, plowmen - the phrase "Nordic Aryan" means only a farmer from the northern regions, in whom the harsh nature of the north brought up special perseverance and stamina, nothing more; Aryan culture is an agricultural culture; there is no hierarchy among them, but depending on financial situation each of them played a certain role in the affairs of society, it was they who called on the princes to protect their work;
4. smerds are all kinds of artisans, craftsmen, buffoons, merchants, boyans and other people who were fed by special labor under the farmers; the word "smerd" is not humiliating, many of them were rich, but they did not take part in the affairs of society, they did not have the right to own land; they could come and go from the community at their own will, and the Aryan who became a smerd lost the rights of a community member;
5. once born - all those who are not capable of any of the named kinds of activity.

In this society, the prince did not have the right to order the Aryans, and they had the right to call princes for themselves. And when the descendant of Rus (Rurik) was called to reign, it was said “there is no dress in us” as opposed to other lands where there was already a “dress”, that is, there was no self-government, and kings and tsars ruled. When Askold and Dir were killed in Kyiv by representatives of Rurik, then there was some kind of business between the princes, it did not affect the Aryans in any way.

Slavic symbols of wealth

Neither the Magi nor the warriors wore such symbols. These are not their symbols. Once born, they could wear anything. There were no canons for them. The Aryans protected themselves and the results of their labors with a symbolic image of a plowed field with the symbol of the goddess Dana (these are two parallel lines crossed perpendicularly with the other two parallel lines, and there were two oblique lines above and below them). Smerds had a wide variety of amulets to attract wealth. And a kalita, and an arrow, and a half-clenched palm ... But such amulets have nothing to do with the Vedic religion. This is the work of the people themselves. It was not banned by anyone. There are very few prohibitions in Vedism. symbols have always been freely interpreted by people. That's why there are so many of them. This is what distinguishes the canon from the law, in that the canon must be followed because it says that it is impossible for a person to change, and the law is carried out only out of fear of punishment.

court of the sorcerer

I wonder how the Magi judged. If there was a dispute between people, they turned to the sorcerer. He listened and delivered a verdict. If both did not agree with that verdict, then both of them were on the path to the right stake. This is a circle, in the middle of which the sword of Prava was stuck. Two tents were set up on two sides. Disputants entered each of the tents at sunset. The one who considered himself right did not take any weapons with him, but only drew on his right hand Slavic symbol of good luck - the sword of Prava.

In the morning, when the sun rose, the one who considered himself right, went out in one underwear clean shirt with his soul wide open. The one who came out armed must wait until his opponent takes the sword of Prava. This was followed by a fight. If an armed person died, then everyone believed that Rights were with them. If a person died with the sword of Right in his hands, then the sorcerer executed this sword and replaced it with another. Nobody made any claims to the winner.

Slavic symbols, the photo will tell the truth

The meaning of Slavic amulets

In our symbols, the whole essence of human existence is displayed with incredible fullness. There is no sphere of life that would not be figuratively and symbolically comprehended. Some symbols disappeared, they were replaced by others. But the constant, inexhaustible creativity of the people revived them and enlivened them. They helped people individually and collectively as a community. It is impossible to overestimate the importance of this process of folk art for the formation of the world Slavs. In our time, with an understanding of the native ancient protective symbolism, one can draw such spiritual wealth that will immediately endow us with other, material wealth. It is the mass impoverishment of souls that leads to poverty.

And this is already happening. Such a modern deep philosophical trend as “Russian cosmism” (this is a term) arose precisely from the bowels of the Vedic concept. In this philosophical trend, all the wealth of the Vedic Slavic religion is comprehended. Free folk creativity could not but give rise to a great variety of understandings of the world. That is why it has become the basis of the philosophy that will not allow humanity to disappear from the universe.

It is very unfortunate that in the modern chaotic flow of current life it is quite difficult to attach the future generation to the connection with the ancestors, to plunge headlong into the postulates of the Vedic concept, morality and morality.
