The meaning of the runic symbols of the Slavs. Meanings of Slavic runes-amulets

The first arguments in favor of the existence of Slavic runic writing were put forward at the beginning of the last century; Some of the evidence presented then is now attributed to the Glagolitic alphabet, and not to the “pynitsa” alphabet, some turned out to be simply untenable, but a number of arguments remain valid to this day. Thus, it is impossible to argue with the testimony of Thietmar, who, describing the Slavic temple of Retra, located in the lands of the Lutichians, points to the fact that the idols of this temple were inscribed with inscriptions made by “special” non-German runes. It would be completely absurd to assume that Thietmar, being an educated person, could not recognize the standard minor Scandinavian runes if the names of the gods on the idols were inscribed by them.

Massydi, describing one of the Slavic temples, mentions certain signs carved on stones. Ibn Fodlan, speaking about the Slavs at the end of the 1st millennium, points to the existence of grave inscriptions on pillars among them. Ibn El Hedim speaks about the existence of Slavic pre-Cyrillic writing and even gives in his treatise a drawing of an inscription carved on a piece of wood (the famous Nedimov inscription). The Czech song “The Court of Lyubysha,” preserved in a 9th-century copy, mentions “tables of truth”—laws written on wooden boards in some kind of writing.

Slavic silver amulets with ancient symbols are usually intended to protect and protect their owner, but still different symbols on amulet runes have different magical powers. Therefore, when choosing a Slavic amulet, pay attention to the specific properties of each of them.

Many archaeological data also indicate the existence of runic writing among the ancient Slavs. The oldest of them are finds of ceramics with fragments of inscriptions belonging to the Chernyakhov archaeological culture, clearly associated with the Slavs and dating back to the 1st-4th centuries AD. Already thirty years ago, the signs on these finds were identified as traces of writing. An example of “Chernyakhov” Slavic runic writing can be fragments of ceramics from excavations near the village of Lepesovka (southern Volyn) or a clay shard from Ripnev, belonging to the same Chernyakhov culture and probably representing a fragment of a vessel. The signs visible on the shard leave no doubt that this is an inscription. Unfortunately, the fragment is too small to make deciphering the inscription possible.

In general, the ceramics of the Chernyakhov culture provide very interesting, but too meager material for decoding. Thus, an extremely interesting Slavic clay vessel was discovered in 1967 during excavations near the village of Voiskovoe (on the Dnieper). An inscription containing 12 positions and using 6 characters is applied to its surface. The inscription cannot be translated or read, despite the fact that attempts to decipher it have been made. However, it should be noted that there is a certain similarity between the graphics of this inscription and the runic graphics. There are similarities, and not only similarities - half of the signs (three out of six) coincide with the Futhark runes (Scandinavia). These are the Dagaz, Gebo runes and a minor version of the Ingyz rune - a rhombus placed on the top.

Another - later - group of evidence of the use of runic writing by the Slavs is formed by monuments associated with the Wends, the Baltic Slavs. Of these monuments, we will first of all point out the so-called Mikorzhinsky stones, discovered in 1771 in Poland. Another – truly unique – monument of the “Baltic” Slavic pynic is the inscriptions on cult objects from the Slavic temple of Radegast in Retra, destroyed in the mid-11th century during the German conquest.

Runic alphabet
Like the runes of the Scandinavian and continental Germans, the Slavic runes go back, apparently, to the North Italian (Alpine) alphabets. Several main variants of Alpine writing are known, which were owned, in addition to the northern Etruscans, by the Slavic and Celtic tribes living in the neighborhood. The question of exactly how the Italic script was brought to the late Slavic regions remains completely open at the moment, as well as the question of the mutual influence of the Slavic and Germanic pynics.
It should be noted that runic culture should be understood much more broadly than basic writing skills - it is a whole cultural layer, covering mythology, religion, and certain aspects of magical art. Already in Epyria and Venice (the lands of the Etruscans and Wends), the alphabet was treated as an object of divine origin and capable of exerting a magical effect. This is evidenced, for example, by finds in Etruscan burials of tablets listing alphabetic characters. This is the simplest type of runic magic, widespread in North-West Europe.
Thus, speaking about the ancient Slavic runic writing, one cannot help but touch upon the question of the existence of the ancient Slavic runic culture as a whole. This culture was owned by the Slavs of pagan times; It was preserved, apparently, in the era of “dual faith” (the simultaneous existence of Christianity and paganism in Russia - 10-16 centuries).

An excellent example is the widespread use of the Freyr-Inguz rune by the Slavs. Another example is one of the remarkable Vyatic temple rings of the 12th century. Signs are engraved on its blades - this is another rune. The third blades from the edges bear the image of the Algiz rune, and the central blade is a double image of the same rune. Like the Freyr rune, the Algiz rune first appeared as part of Futhark; it existed without changes for about a millennium and was included in all runic alphabets, except for the later Swedish-Norwegian ones, which were not used for magical purposes (around the 10th century). The image of this rune on the temporal ring is not accidental. Rune Algiz is a rune of protection, one of its magical properties is protection from other people's witchcraft and the evil will of others. The use of the Algiz rune by the Slavs and their ancestors has a very ancient history. In ancient times, the four Algiz runes were often connected so that a twelve-pointed cross was formed, which apparently had the same functions as the rune itself.

At the same time, it should be noted that such magical symbols can appear among different peoples and independently of each other. An example of this can be, for example, a bronze Mordovian plaque from the end of the 1st millennium AD. from the Armyevsky burial ground. One of the so-called non-alphabetic runic signs is the swastika, both four- and three-branched. Images of the swastika are found everywhere in the Slavic world, although not often. This is natural - the swastika, a symbol of fire and, in certain cases, fertility, is a sign too “powerful” and too significant for widespread use. Like the twelve-pointed cross, the swastika can also be found among the Sarmatians and Scythians.

Of extreme interest is the one-of-a-kind temporal ring, again Vyatic. Several different signs are engraved on its blades at once - this is a whole collection of symbols of ancient Slavic magic. The central blade bears a slightly modified Ingyz rune, the first petals from the center are an image that is not yet completely clear. On the second petals from the center there is a twelve-pointed cross, which is most likely a modification of the cross from the four Algiz runes. And finally, the outer petals bear the image of a swastika. Well, the master who worked on this ring created a powerful talisman.

World
The shape of the World rune is the image of the Tree of the World, the Universe. It also symbolizes the inner self of a person, the centripetal forces striving the World towards Order. In a magical sense, the World rune represents protection and patronage of the gods.

The Road has neither beginning nor end, but there is a source and there is a result... The ancient formula: “Do what you want, and come what may” could serve as the motto of this rune.

The Rune of Strength is at the same time the rune of unity, integrity, the achievement of which is one of the results of movement along the Road. And this is also the rune of Victory, for the Warrior of the Spirit gains Strength only by defeating himself, only by sacrificing his outer self for the sake of freeing his inner self.

The ancient Slavs used amulets and amulets in all areas of their lives. They were used to increase wealth, attract the forces of nature to their side, and make a successful trade deal. Runes were often used in creating amulets, in rituals, fortune telling and for other magical purposes. But unlike the well-known Western runes, these were originally Slavic, Russian runes. The meaning, description and their interpretation differed from the runic writing of the Scandinavians and other peoples.

History of appearance

Historians do not have a common opinion about the time of the appearance of Slavic runic writing. However, they all agree on one thing: it is as ancient as Etruscan and Celtic symbols.

The famous German chronicler Thietmar of Merseburg, when describing a Slavic temple in the land of the Lutich (early 11th century), mentions pagan idols with incomprehensible signs on them. If these were Scandinavian or Germanic runes, he most likely recognized them.

Similar images were described by Ibn el-Nedim, an Arab writer of the same years. He mentions pre-Christian writing found on Slavic gravestones.

Based on this, it can be argued that ancient Slavic symbols were the most ancient alphabet of distant ancestors. Archaeological finds indicate that the most ancient craftsmen painted rune symbols on household utensils. For example, a clay pot discovered near the village of Voiskovoe on the Dnieper is decorated with an inscription of 12 words consisting of six characters. Three of them are similar to Scandinavian runic signs. It was believed that this was the alphabet of deities, with the help of which one could communicate with them.

Russian (Slavic) runes depicted on amulets and tattoos resembled Germanic ones. Therefore, some researchers believe that the Slavic runes are the original source, and the Germanic ones are already borrowed. There are no reliable sources or evidence, but it is likely that both came from the Proto-Aryan language, a simplified form of which today is represented in the form of runes.

Today, along with the runes of Odin, they are used as amulets, amulets, and also for fortune telling.

Each rune carries a certain energy and has its own meaning. This Vedic knowledge can be useful in various cases.

To achieve the desired result, you can apply a temporary tattoo with a rune to your body or make a talisman (taking into account its designation) and additionally charge yourself.

When choosing a rune, you need to be very careful and careful. Having studied its decoding, you should not rely only on the description. First you need to try wearing the amulet and listen to how it feels.

All ancient peoples believed that the world was ruled by evil and good forces. Old Russian runes also have good and evil ones. These runes are symbols of protection.

Attention, TODAY only!

The ancient magic of the Slavs, based on pagan beliefs and deities, has not lost its power in modern world. One of the most powerful magic items that our ancestors used are Slavic runes amulets. Runes were endowed with special esoteric properties and called upon for help in all areas of life. Runic signs were used to decorate household items, clothing, and jewelry; they were drawn on magical talismans and amulets.

What are runes and how to use magical signs in modern life - we suggest you figure it out.

Origin of Slavic runes

Runes represent a certain number of special symbols. Their outline is unique, as you can see in the photo. Each sign has a separate name and denotes a specific syllable. Initially, runic symbols were used as an alphabet by the ancient peoples who inhabited the North of Europe.

Over time, runic writing was replaced by the Latin alphabet, but the runes were not completely forgotten. They received a radically different category, becoming a magical instrument. Although ancient symbols were endowed with mystical properties long before that. Even the name of the runes in translation meant “secret, mystery.” With the help of magical signs they told fortunes, sorcerers created powerful amulets and amulets that not only protected from dark forces, but even controlled natural elements. According to legends, shamans could call on rain or raise the wind with the help of these signs.

Runic symbols were common among Slavic magicians, who very actively used their meanings in Everyday life. With their help, the Slavs called on higher powers for help in order to successfully conclude a deal, sell or buy profitably, heal from an illness, attract good luck or wealth. Magic signs attracted military victories and glory, love and family well-being. Amulets with fancy symbols protected housing and household property. But they could also provoke destruction (for example, the Old Slavic amulet Black Sun).

Quite often, when excavating ancient Slavic settlements, scientists find household items with runes inscribed on them. Decorations with magical writings are also often found. They are mainly made of silver, since the Slavs endowed this metal with special esoteric properties. However, golden runic amulets were also popular.

You can still use ancient Slavic magic today. Everyone wants to attract finance or love into their lives, improve relationships or get what they want. You can buy ready-made jewelry with a drawn magic symbol in the store. But making a talisman or talisman with your own hands is also quite simple. The main thing is to choose the right runic symbol. To do this, you need to carefully understand their meanings.

Meanings of ancient runes

The runic alphabet of the ancient Slavs consists of eighteen characters. Each of them is designed to solve problems of a specific order. However, the specificity of the entire Slavic culture is based on the eternal confrontation between the forces of good and evil, light and darkness, good and chaos. People were active participants in this struggle, and often their instruments. Perun, Dazhdbog, and Mir are called upon to protect people from destructive dark forces.

Some magical symbols, on the contrary, served the forces of darkness: for example, Chernobog, Need. They were actively used in their rituals by adherents of black magic, sorcerers and shamans. However, they are not the only ones. It is a mistake to consider these sacred symbols as the embodiment of evil forces. Just as shadow and light are inseparable and are the basis of everything in the world, so good and bad runes interact together. Chaos runes serve to destroy in order to then build something new. Their purpose and meaning is to get rid of the unnecessary, unhealthy, exhausted.

Knowing what kind of energy each rune has, you can skillfully select assistants for yourself in a given situation. It is enough to choose a suitable Slavic symbol so that it shares its energy with the owner.

Slavic runes have the following properties

• Alatyr - symbolizes all the thrones and altars that have ever existed, standing at the basis of the universe. A certain pillar around which there is an ongoing opposition between dark and light forces. Helps to find harmony.

• There is - the embodiment of the physical half of existence, eternal movement forward, development, growth. Its power helps in healing from various diseases, as well as in restoring strength and vitality.
• Source - the meaning of this symbol is contradictory. It simultaneously denotes both stagnation and active development. By analogy, you can imagine ice and water. Water is the source of all living things and active activity. And ice is its frozen particle, which is also capable of starting a new life, but later. The source helps you become calmer, more peaceful, and bring order to your thoughts and life.
• Stealing - helps to achieve what you want in a short time, but in return it will require a sacrifice, retribution. Krada is a symbol of sacrificial fire.

• Support – calls for the help of higher powers, which at the right moment will become support and protection for a person. One of the most powerful Slavic amulets.
• Perun is a sign with the masculine energy of a protector. It makes a person more resilient, more decisive, helps to develop physically, and attracts change.

• Chernobog - the destructive energy of this rune is compensated by the Peace rune. Together they represent the balance of higher powers on which our world is based. In everyday life, Chernobog should be used very sparingly. She will perform well in situations where it is necessary to destroy outdated connections, relationships, and rid herself of unnecessary habits.

How to use the power of runes

Having understood the runes and their meanings, you can use the energy of ancient signs for your own purposes. Our ancestors embroidered magic signs on clothes. We don't have to do this. The most simple option is the purchase of jewelry with inscribed runes. This could be, for example, gold or silver earrings, a bracelet pendant, or a pendant. This decoration looks stylish and modern, and meanwhile its energy will work for you with the same force as in ancient times.

You can draw a suitable rune in the bedroom or study on the wall. But this must be done in such a way that the rune is not visible to prying eyes. For example, Oud will help make nights in the bedroom more intense and passionate. Strength and Wind located in the work corner will help you become more focused and purposeful. You can protect your child with the help of the Bereginya rune, placing it in the children's bedroom. The rune will protect the baby from restless dreams and childhood fears. You can put a pendant with Bereginya on a child’s neck so that she will constantly protect him.

Rune energy can be used to charge food. To do this, hold them for some time over the prepared dish, mentally turning to higher powers for support and favor. After the food is eaten, thank the spirits.

The rune can be drawn on the right wrist. It is believed that the wrist is the most vulnerable place in the human aura, through which negative energy entities strive to penetrate. Slavic symbol will close this portal and help a person maintain vitality. You can draw a rune with henna or an ordinary felt-tip pen. Just choose the signs more carefully; their meanings are not always positive for a person.

The runic alphabet is a set of symbols, each of which has its own magical meaning.

A runic series is a set of specific symbols that in ancient times were common as an alphabet and a tool of magic. Later, the writing of the peoples of Europe was supplanted by the Latin alphabet, but runic signs are still used to carry out rituals, create amulets and amulets. There are quite a few varieties of runes, and among them the most famous is the Scandinavian version.

Our Russian ancestors did not have their own runic alphabet. But the system built by modern Rodnovers really works as a mantic and magical instrument. It is based on a deep knowledge of Slavic culture and mythology and the heritage of the related people of the Scandinavians (Varangians).

In ancient times, symbols were often used by people who endowed them with special meaning and power. In all countries, magicians, priests, and shamans used them to protect them from evil spells, from bad influences, from everything that brought trouble. Also, amulets were used to attract good luck in all matters.

Runes were applied different ways: extrusion, chasing, drawing. They were applied to clothes, embroidering these signs, on household utensils made of clay, on doors in the house, in the stable, so that various evil spirits could not penetrate there. Even the sacred idols were inscribed with runes, they signified the names as well as the powers of this deity.

These symbols are conductors of energy, the most powerful energy, which, unknowingly, can be used not for benefit, but to harm oneself. What do you still need to know about runes, so that they are for the good, and not vice versa?

Rune amulets

Any runic series strives to describe the world with a set of symbols. Read on the website

In ancient times, runes were used for amulets, which were made from various materials - leather, wood, bone.

The number of symbols used depends on the complexity of the task that is assigned to the amulet, and it can perform a variety of missions.

Modern pagans make themselves various rune tattoos that symbolize the inner world of a person, his goals and desires, and are also amulets.

For example, the wind symbol helps to move to the top, achieving any goal. The Perun rune applied to the body protects against dark forces. A tattoo with a rainbow symbol represents the road leading to the center of the universe, and a tattoo with the rune of peace represents a person’s desire for a quiet life.

Of course, Orthodox priests do not approve of such body decorations, as well as tattoos on any other topic. But supporters of pagan rituals are not at all bothered by this behavior, and runic tattoos are becoming increasingly popular.

If you want to get yourself a tattoo with magical symbols, be it Slavic runes or Chinese characters— thoroughly study their meanings according to several authors, so as not to accidentally ruin your life

Interpretations

In this section we will consider in detail the description of Slavic runes, their meaning and combination in interpretation with each other. Anyone who is just learning the magic of runes should not take on making amulets and amulets with complex symbolism.

Dark runes

The runes Need and Chernobog are signs of Darkness and Chaos. Together with the symbols of Light, they underlie the existence of all living and nonliving things on Earth.

However, the main mission of “dark” runes is to destroy everything that is sick and unnecessary to make room for something new. Most religions of the world agree that creation is impossible without destruction.

Alatyr

The center of the Universe, the end and beginning of life on Earth.

The rune denotes the cycle of light and dark forces, or Belbog and Chernobog. This is the very center of the Universe, the end and beginning of life on Earth. Alatyr also symbolizes the law of Balance, the circulation of events and phenomena in the world and the return of everything to its original position.

According to Slavic mythology, Alatyr is a stone that stands on the island of Buyan and is the navel of the earth, all roads begin under it and all rivers begin their flow from it. At the same time, Alatyr serves as a throne for the gods and a magical stone on which sacrifices are made to higher powers.
