Rune is the Slavic path. Old Slavic runes and their meanings

Lovers of esotericism today are discovering the features of pagan culture: the Lutichians, Scythians, Drevlyans and other nationalities. Slavic runes are part of this culture. At one time, these runes were very revered and were used not only as symbols of the alphabet, but also as protection.

A little history

Historians still do not have one common opinion regarding the time of the appearance of runic writing among the Slavs. But they agree that this letter is as ancient as Celtic and Etruscan symbols.

One famous German chronicler, Thietmar of Merseburg, who lived at the end of the 10th - beginning of the 11th century, mentioned idols with some strange signs on them when describing a Slavic temple in the lands of the Lyutichs. More likely, he could recognize Scandinavian or Germanic runes.

These images were also described by the Arab writer Ibn Al Nedim, who lived during the same period. He mentioned this ancient pre-Cyrillic writing, which he discovered on the gravestones of Slavic burials.

Based on these facts, we can safely say that the oldest alphabet of our ancestors was the Old Slavic runes.

Archaeological finds indicate that that ancient craftsmen even put runic signs on their household utensils. This is evidenced by a clay pot found in the village of Voyskovoe, on the Dnieper, containing an inscription of 12 words, for which 6 characters were used to write. Three symbols belonged to the Scandinavian runes. This suggests that the cultures of these peoples overlapped.

The same runic symbols were discovered on religious objects of the ancient temple of Radagast, which was destroyed in the 11th century. The temple previously belonged to the Polabian Slavs. However, you should not perceive Old Slavic runes solely as writing signs. They also had a great influence on the lives of ancient pagans. The runes were applied to the following:

• Body.
• Stones.
• Livestock.
• Dishes.
• Idols and other objects important to life and beliefs.

As mentioned earlier, this writing has Celtic and Etruscan roots, since these peoples lived literally next door to the Slavs. Runic symbols were used not only for writing; there was also a cult according to which these symbols were considered sacred. It was believed that the runes were given to the people by the Gods. Various tablets with symbols, for example, were placed in burials, and the stones on which the signs were applied served as amulets.

These magical symbols were used not only during pagan times, but also after the Slavs adopted Christianity. For example, it was customary to depict the Algiz rune in temple rings, since it is considered a strong protection against the evil eye and other people’s witchcraft. To increase its power Repeated images of this symbol were often used.

Currently, a total of 18 runes are known:

Old Slavic runes, as well as amulets on which these symbols are applied, carry a certain meaning and have superpower.

Symbols of good

The Slavs, like most ancient peoples, believed that the whole world was controlled by evil and good forces. Among their Goddesses and Gods there are those who help people and also take care of them. There were also deities that inspired terror in the people. Old Slavic runes also did not escape this fate. Therefore, they are found among them as signs of goodness., and signs of protection. These runes include the following:

Runes of the family and their meaning in the life of ancient pagans is an extremely interesting topic. In ancient times, these symbols played a big role in the life of the Slavic peoples.

Runes of death

Regardless of the level of development of civilization and the faith of people, all peoples were afraid of death. The unknown that lies behind death terrifies every person. The ancient Slavic peoples had their own myths about the afterlife, and some minds are associated with death or with fate, from which even the gods cannot protect themselves.

To the Old Slavic runes that are associated with death or evil include the following:

The ancient Slavic peoples conventionally divided runes into weak and strong, and depending on the situation, they could enhance their effect by repeated repetition.

Modern experts on Slavic runes do not fully understand all the meanings and nuances, as was typical for Old Slavic magicians and shamans. In those years, faith in the power of runic symbols was very high among the people, so amulets with runic signs were especially popular.

They were made from stones, wood, silver or gold, it was also customary to embroider runic symbols on shirts; women embroidered them on ribbons, which were then woven into braids. The most popular were considered amulets that depicted Old Slavic runes associated with well-being, wealth, keeping the family hearth and health. The strongest of them were considered:

To some extent, modern descendants of the ancient Slavic peoples have adopted the traditions of their ancestors to use runic symbols to protect against various problems, as well as to attract love, wealth and success into their lives. Some of these people get tattoos, and some use amulets.

Protecting family, home and property

In some ways, the ancient Slavs are similar to the Chinese regarding this issue, who understood the importance of the distribution of Qi energy and directional flow. Slavic runes, charged correctly, had the magical property of connecting internal and external spaces. Some of them were used to preserve the hearth, give birth to healthy and beautiful children, protect well-being in the family, as well as the possibility of procreation. These runes include the following:

From the evil eye and damage

Mages could easily use Russian runes to create protective amulets and amulets, but also create spells based on them. Superstitious people have always been afraid of damage, other people's envy and the evil eye. Correctly made amulet will be able to neutralize the negativity sent to a person, as well as provide its owner with protective functions. Protective runes include the following:

The ancient Slavic peoples sincerely believed that their ancestors had the ability to protect and help them in difficult times. The combination of several powerful symbols in one picture increased the charge.

Attention, TODAY only!

Runes are symbolic amulet generators. The savings system that our ancestors used, its symbolism is woven from the special energy-information space of the Spirit, which developed among the Slavic community of peoples.

The Space of the Spirit is our egregor, to which we all belong, the information field of our culture. And it consists of basic images that reflect meanings that are significant for our culture. These are the images of Beregini (Mother Earth), Support (Motherland), Lelya (Love), Dazhdbog (Good-Fertility), Krada (Fire-Truth), images of the World, the Road, and Strength. These images are our living connection with our history, our Spirit, our protection.

Slavic runes - meaning, description, interpretation

Rune - Peace

Key words: Belbog; inner self; Tree of the World Rune of the White God - one of the most complex (sic!) images of Slavic mythology. In the Germanic Futhark, this rune is called Madr or Mannaz - Man. In the traditional pagan view, man is the image of God, his embodiment. But God is the whole World, and therefore man, or the microcosm, is the image of the World, or the macrocosm. The axis of the Universe is the World Tree, just as the spinal column is the human axis.

The very form of the Belbog rune is the image of the Tree of the World and the image of a man standing with his hands raised to the Sky. The Belbog rune symbolizes the inner, divine in nature, human Self; that part of it that stores enduring Knowledge and enduring Life; that which belongs to Heaven. Let us also remember that the second meaning of the word “world” in Slavic languages ​​is community, society, Rod - i.e. an environment in which order is maintained. In this regard, the Belbog rune symbolizes centripetal forces - forces that strive the World towards absolute Order.

In a magical sense, the World rune represents protection and patronage of the light gods. In the German runic series, the content of the Belbog rune is partly conveyed by the Mannaz and Algiz runes; and the very image of the Slavic White God is a direct parallel to the image of the Scandinavian god Heimdall, whom ancient texts call the White Ace. Like Belbog, Heimdall is a Guardian of Order, whose duty is to guard the boundaries of the gods from the invasions of the Forces of Chaos.

Rune - Chernobog

Key words: Jester; Shadow; Inverted Tree of the World Rune of Chernobog - a deity who forms a dual pair with Belbog. If the rune of Belbog represents the forces striving the World towards absolute Order, then the rune of Chernobog connects us with the forces leading the World to absolute Chaos. It would be absurd to associate Belbog with “good” and Chernobog with “evil”; the interaction of centripetal and centrifugal forces is the guarantee of Balance, read: the guarantee of the very existence of the World.

In the divine plane, the Chernobog rune represents the trickster god, the Jester God and the Clown God, who eternally fights with the Guardian of Order and eternally violates the boundaries determined by the gods of Order. In relation to a person, the Chernobog rune represents the Shadow, that archetype of the Jungian unconscious that always stands behind our left shoulder and, laughing, leads us to liberation from masks and illusions: “I am the one who always wants evil and always does good” (Goethe)…

The magical content of the rune: destruction of old connections, breakthrough of the magic circle, exit from any closed system. In the German runic series, the Chernobog rune finds a partial counterpart in the Perth and Hagalaz runes. The Germanic name of Chernobog is Loki.

Rune - Alatyr

Key words: Basics, beginnings; Greatness; World Mountain; Grail Rune Alatyr is the rune of the center of the Universe, marked by the World Mountain; rune of the beginning and end of all things. This is what the struggle between Belbog and Chernobog revolves around, the cycle of struggle between the forces of Order and Chaos; this is the law of Balance and returning to normal; this is the stone that lies at the foundation of the World - that handful of earth raised by the gods from the bottom of the primordial ocean, from which Everything was created.

The eternal circulation of events and their motionless center... Alatyr, “the father of all stones,” “the navel of the earth” in the Slavic Tradition, stands on Buyan Island. The sources of all rivers and the beginnings of all roads are hidden under Alatyr. Alatyr serves as an altar and throne to the supreme gods, and therefore any throne and any altar in the Middle World is only a reflection of the Alatyr-stone.

The magical altar - the stone on which the sacrifice is made - is a reflection of the World Mountain, or the Alatyr stone. This is the sacred image that is contained in this rune. In the German runic series there are no runes that more or less fully convey the content of the Alatyr rune. Only to some extent do the Yer Elder rune and the Stan rune of the Northumbrian runic series correspond to it.

Rune - Rainbow

Key words: Road; Joy As in the Scandinavian Futhark, this is the rune of the Road, the rune of “the path that has a heart” (Castaneda)… This is the endless Path leading to Alatyr; a path determined by the unity and struggle of the forces of Belbog and Chernobog, Fire and Water.

The road in Tradition is more than just movement in space and time. The road is a special state, equally different from vanity and peace; it is a state of movement between Order and Chaos. The Road has neither beginning nor end, but there is a source and there is a result... The ancient formula “do what you must, and come what may” could serve as the “motto” of this rune.

The magical meaning of the rune: stabilization of movement, assistance in travel, favorable outcome of difficult situations. In the Germanic runic ranks, this rune fully corresponds to the Ride rune, the name of which also means “Road”, “Journey”.

Rune - Need

Key words: Inevitability; Fate; Nav; Krivda; Viy Rune Veles in the image of Viy (Niya) - the god of Navi, the Lower World.

This is the rune of fate that cannot be avoided; rune of darkness, death, all-burning underground fire. Rune of constraint, constraint and coercion. As with everything related to runes, what was said above about the rune of Need can be correlated with any levels of reality.

This is a magical prohibition on performing (completion) of this or that action, and constraint in the material plane, and those bonds that fetter a person’s consciousness, closing the true, divine reality of the World from him. Veles as Viy, the Terrible God, whose gaze burns all living things, is Chernobog, standing across the Road with the darkness of ignorance and emptiness. The fire of Viy, which does not give light, the fire that binds in chains - this is the sacred content of this rune. But let’s not forget that the power of Chernobog is necessary for the Kolovrat of the Road to unfold; then the chains of the dark flame of Viy will appear before us not as an obstacle on the Road, but as a test that promises Initiation... In the Germanic runic ranks, this rune corresponds to the Naud rune, the name of which also means “Need.”

Rune - Steal

Key words: Fire; Verb; Embodiment; True, the Slavic word “steal” means sacrificial fire.

The Krada rune is a rune of fire, akin to the Germanic runes Gebo and Kano, for fire is a gift of the gods and a force that embodies the divine in the Middle World. This is the rune of aspiration and the embodiment of aspirations, and therefore the rune of speech, since in the Nordic Tradition, speech and the verb have always been associated with the embodiment of intention. But the embodiment of any plan is always the revelation of this plan to the World, and therefore the rune of Krad is also the rune of disclosure, the rune of the loss of the external, superficial - that which burns in the fire of sacrifice.

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

Rune - Treba

Key words: Firmness of Spirit; Warrior; Sacrifice Like the similar Germanic rune Teyvaz, the Slavic rune Treba is the rune of the Warrior of the Spirit - a wanderer on the Road to Alatyr.

Scandinavian legends tell about such an act of Tyr - the god to whom this rune is dedicated in the Germanic system. One day the gods managed to catch Fenrir, the World Wolf - the cause of the coming Ragnarok, the End of the World. In order to restrain the destructive power of the Wolf, it was necessary to put specially made strong fetters on him. But this could only be done by cunning, and then the gods promised the Wolf that they would only test the fetters and then remove them, and Tyr, as a pledge of this, put his hand in the Wolf’s mouth. And when the Wolf was chained, he bit off Tyr's hand - but victory over Chaos was achieved. Sacrifice, without which it is impossible to embody the intention on the Road, is the sacred content of the Treba rune. But sacrifice in the inner Tradition is not a simple gift to the gods; the idea of ​​sacrifice implies sacrificing oneself. And the Warrior of the Spirit is the one who, on the Road to Alatyr, defeats the dark shackles of consciousness with the bright fire of sacrifice and, freeing himself from them, accepts Dedication and Power.

Rune - Strength

Key words: Strength; Knowledge; Integrity Strength is the asset of a Warrior.

Strength in the Nordic Tradition is not only the ability to change the World and oneself in it, but also the ability to follow the Road, freedom from the shackles of consciousness. And, since only the garbage of consciousness fragments both the World and consciousness itself in human perception, the rune of Power 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 Power only by defeating himself, only by being able to break the shackles of consciousness, only by sacrificing his outer self for the sake of freeing his inner self, his true divine Self.

The magical meaning of this rune is directly related to its definitions as the rune of victory, the rune of power and the rune of integrity. The Rune of Strength can direct a person or situation towards Victory and gaining integrity, it can help clarify an unclear situation and push towards the right decision.

In the German runic ranks, the rune of Strength corresponds to the rune Zig (Soul) of the Elder Futhark.

Rune - Wind

Key words: Summit; To know; Wind-Force; Veles The Wind Rune belongs to the Slavic god of magic and wisdom, wealth and Strength - Veles. This is the rune of the Spirit; rune of Knowledge and ascent to the top; the rune of will and inspiration, equally magical and poetic.

Graphically, the Wind rune resembles the double rune of the Warrior of the Spirit - this is no coincidence: just as the Treba rune represents the archetype of the Warrior of the Path, a wanderer on the Road to Alatyr, so the Wind rune represents the archetype of the Divine Magician - the direction and result of the Warrior’s work on himself... In the sacred Tradition, the Wind is stable an image of spiritualized magical Power associated with the element of air.

In our developments, this is the inner circle of magic - that circle of inner knowledge and inner Strength in which the inner Alatyr of man, his divine Self, is hidden. However, is there any difference at all between the Alatyr of man and the Alatyr of the World?.. So, at the level of magic, the Wind rune symbolizes Wind-Force and the inner magic circle; at the emotional level - inspiration, creative rage (Scand. odr, where the Scandinavian name Veles - One) comes from; at the event level - the divine Game, all those endlessly interconnected, but seemingly random, events reflecting the eternal dance of Shiva-Veles...

Rune - Bereginya

Key words: Birch; Fate; Mother; Earth; Makosh Bereginya in the Slavic Tradition is a female mythological image associated with protection and motherhood; in archaic antiquity, Makosh, the Mother Goddess, acted under the name Beregini.

Therefore, the Beregini rune is the rune of the Mother Goddess, who is in charge of both earthly fertility and the destinies of all living things. According to traditional beliefs, the Mother Goddess gives life to souls who come to incarnate on Earth, and she takes life away when the time comes. And with equal rightness one can call the Beregini rune the rune of Life and the rune of Death, for both the Heavenly Mother (Scand. Frigg), who spins the threads of destinies, and the Underground Mother (Scand. Hel), who rules the kingdom of the dead, are the essence of hypostases of the same Goddess. This same rune is the rune of Fate, as it is understood in the Nordic Tradition. And also a rune of wealth and good, since the goddess Makosh is the wife (read: female hypostasis) of the god Veles.

And just like the rune of the Wind, the rune of Beregini is a rune of power - but this is a completely different force: the heavy and powerful force of the Earth, with whose element the very image of the Great Goddess is associated... If - turning to the eastern traditions - the Power of the Wind is connected with the upper energy centers of man , then Beregini’s strength is with the lower ones...

Only partly the meaning of the Beregini rune is conveyed by the German Berkana rune.

Rune - Oud

Key words: Yar; Love; Youth; Fire; Yarovit The Slavic word “ud”, which generally means “limb, member”, in the sacred context takes on the specific meaning of phallus.

In all branches of the Indo-European Tradition, without exception, the symbol of the male member, the lingam, is associated with the fertile creative force that transforms Chaos. This fiery force was called Eros by the Greeks, and Yar by the Slavs (these words have the same root). The Oud rune is dedicated to the Nordic god, who was revered as the son of Veles by the Slavs or the son of Odin by the Scandinavians. His Slavic name is Yarovit (Yarilo), and his Scandinavian name is Balder. The Oud rune embodies his power - Yar, what makes men masculine and women feminine. This is not only the fiery power of love, but also a passion for life in general, a force that unites opposites, fertilizes the emptiness of Chaos...

In the German runic series, the Ud rune corresponds to the Uruz and, partly, Inguz runes.

Rune - Lelya

Key words: Love; Water; Attraction; Lelya The goddess of this rune - Lelya - was revered by the Slavs as the daughter of the Great Mother.

The name Lelya is associated with a very wide range of ancient roots, such as lalya (“child, girl”), cherish and so on, right up to the Sanskrit lila - “game”. Both the young goddess Lelya herself, Yarovit’s sister, and her rune are associated with the element of water, and more specifically, living, flowing water flowing in springs and streams. In the Nordic Tradition, this is the goddess of Strength who leads, just as a stream of water leads. Under different names we meet her in European fairy tales about the sea (river) Virgin, in the tales of King Arthur, where she acts as the Guardian Virgin of the Holy Grail and the Road to it, in Slavic and many other ritual myths.

In magic, the Lely rune is the rune of intuition, knowledge-beyond-mind, the Power that leads in the journey-search, as well as spring awakening and fertility, flowering and joy. In the German runic series, this rune corresponds to the Laguz rune and, partly, Vunyo.

Rune - Rock

Key words: Spirit; Unmanifest; Unknowable; Rock This is the rune of the transcendental unmanifested Spirit, which is the beginning and end of everything.

The Slavs called it Rock, the ancient Scandinavians - Urlug, the ancient Anglo-Saxons - Wyrd. There is no point in talking about it - there is only sense in feeling it. The Nordic Wyrd, or Rock, is similar to the eastern Tao. Even God cannot avoid what is predetermined by fate - these are the words of Herodotus. There is nothing outside of Rock. Rock, Wyrd, Orlyog are not a deity, not a law, not even predestination, it’s simply All-That-Is... When fortune telling, the fallen rune of Rock will indicate that higher, unknowable forces are at work, and the development of the situation is unpredictable.

In magic, the Doom rune can be used to dedicate an object or situation to the Unknowable. Of the Elder Futhark runes, only part of the meaning of the Doom rune is conveyed by the Perth, Evaz and Hagalaz runes. In a certain sense, the Northumbrian runes Ear, Kveort and Gar are close in meaning. However, we repeat, there is no one-to-one correspondence here.

Rune - Support

Key words: Gods; Homeland; Pillar; Kol and Kolo This is the rune of the foundations of the Universe; rune of the gods.

It is the supports, the pillars of the World, that the gods are revered in Tradition; in the ancient northern languages, these two words - god and pillar - sounded the same: ass/ans. The host of gods are both the center and the periphery of the World, therefore, in Russian, both the Axis, symbolizing the World Tree, and the Circle, which embraces it, are meant by almost the same word: Kol and Kolo. A support, a pillar, is also a shamanic pole, or a tree along which the shaman travels to heaven; and this pole is also the gods, since it is from them that the shaman draws strength for his journey. And the circle surrounding it is the circle in which the existence of people who worship their gods takes place; This is the Motherland, the heritage of our ancestors.

In fortune telling, the Rune of Support can mean the support of gods and gods, finding a solid foundation, strength of spirit and strength of position. In the Elder Futhark, certain aspects of the meaning of the Support rune are partially conveyed by the Odal and Ansuz runes.

Rune - Dazhdbog

Key words: Good; Gift; Fertility The rune of the bright Dazhdbog, symbolizing good in every sense of the word: from material wealth to the joy that accompanies true love.

The most important attribute of this god, whom the Scandinavians revered under the name Frey, and the Celts under the name Dagda, is a cornucopia or, in a more ancient form, a cauldron of inexhaustible goods. The flow of gifts flowing from this sacred cauldron like an inexhaustible river is represented by the Dazhdbog rune.

In fortune telling, the rune means gifts of the gods, the acquisition, receipt or addition of something, the emergence of new connections or new good acquaintances; well-being in general. Also, the appearance of this rune can mark the successful completion of any undertaking or process.

The Dazhdbog rune is closest to the Elder runes Fe and Yer; in addition, some aspects of its meaning correspond to the runes Inguz, Gebo and Dagaz.

Rune - Perun

Key words: Coating; The power of Rune Perun - the Nordic thunder god, protecting the worlds of gods and people and preserving Truth and Order from the onslaught of the forces of Chaos.

Symbolizes strength, power, masculine straightforwardness and vitality.

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

In the Elder Futhark, the Thurisaz rune comes closest to the meaning of the Perun rune, although there is no complete correspondence between them.

Rune - Yes

Key words: Nature; Life; Movement Rune of Life, or Alive, mobility and natural variability of existence, for immobility is dead.

This rune represents those divine forces that make grass grow, the juices of the earth flow through tree trunks, and blood run faster in spring in human veins.

This is the rune of light and bright vitality and the natural desire for movement for all living things.

In fortune telling, the appearance of the rune Is symbolizes renewal, movement, growth, Life itself. In the Elder Futhark, this rune corresponds to the runes Evaz and Berkana.

Rune - Source

Key words: Ice; Non-movement; First Principle

For a correct understanding of this rune, it should be remembered that in the Nordic Tradition, ice is one of the creative primordial elements, symbolizing strength-at-rest, potentiality, movement in stillness. According to some versions of northern legends, the World arose from a single hailstone - an ice grain.

When divining, the rune of Source, the rune of ice means stagnation, a crisis in business or in the development of a situation. However, it should be remembered that the state of frozenness, non-movement, contains the potential power of movement and development (signified by the rune Is) - just as movement contains potential stagnation and freezing...

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

Ancient Slavic Mantra

Arrival of the Magus
***
"Awake, ancient sorcerer
In the veins of my flesh
Unleash the magician in me
Those doors are mine
And bring the ancient sorcerer
The wind blows through the open doors"

Arrival is pronounced in a closed room, when no one interferes. Arrival must be said 15 times a day until you feel the result. Arrival is the discovery of the essence and power of the magician in oneself, it can impart the power of the magician and reveals great wisdom to the magician. It completely turns an ordinary person into a wise person.

What materials are best to make Slavic runes from?

The ancient Slavs interacted closely with the world around them. By studying the laws by which nature lives and observing the elements, man was able to create a system of Slavic magical runes. In it, the signs have special properties: they can produce energy that comes from the outside, and with its help protect a person and help achieve their goals. Thus, the energy of ancient Slavic runes helped preserve the main components of life: man, family, etc.

Where did Slavic runes come from?

Runes are special signs that were once common throughout Europe. At that time, they were used for several purposes: fortune telling and magical rituals, and as a regular alphabet. Runic writing has reached our time. Various nations had their own runes. Today, the most famous are the runes used by the ancient Germans and ancient Slavs.

When did Slavic runes appear? Scientists are still debating this issue, putting forward various versions. However, they agreed on one thing: Slavic runes are as ancient as Celtic and Etruscan ones. The respected chronicler Thietmar of Merseburg, who lived in Germany at the end of the 10th and beginning of the 11th centuries, describing the Slavic temple of the Lutich tribe, speaks of idols with unusual signs. Of course, if these were Germanic or Scandinavian symbols, a specialist of this level would be able to identify them.

The Arab writer Ibn El Nedim, who lived in the same century, spoke about similar signs. He managed to find examples of ancient pre-Cyrillic writing on the gravestones of Slavic burials. It follows from this that Old Slavic runes were the first alphabet of our ancestors. Archaeological excavations also testify to this. Analyzing the finds, scientists saw that earlier craftsmen decorated household items with runes.

There are plenty of examples. In the village of Voiskovoe, which stands on the Dnieper, they found a clay pot with twelve words written on it using six symbols. Some of them resemble the runes of the Scandinavians, which means we can talk about the intersection of cultures of peoples.

Similar signs were found when studying the ruins of Radegast: an ancient temple of the Polabian (Baltic) Slavs, which was destroyed in the 11th century. However, given the significance of Old Slavonic runes, it is a mistake to attribute them only to means of writing. Old Slavic runes played an important role in the life of the ancient Slavs. They were used to decorate the body, household items, utensils, pets, and so on.

What features do Slavic runes have?

The ancient Slavs used a huge number of different runes, but not all have reached us. For example, only 18 of the magic runes have survived. They have a deep meaning and are not so easy to work with. You should resort to them only when you have experience working with the symbols and mythology of the ancient Slavs.

To work with Old Slavic runes-amulets, you need to take into account the following nuances:

features that the Old Slavic gods had;

what elements do the ancient Slavic gods belong to;

the meaning of the runes;

knowledge of the rituals necessary to establish interaction with the gods.

Each magical Slavic rune has its own special properties and interpretation. True, their meaning needs to be explained only in conjunction with the symbols that are nearby. Depending on the desired goal, the total number of magic runes is selected. Ancient Slavic runes are primarily used for protective purposes. There is a completely logical explanation for this. Our ancestors wanted to take part in the struggle between Light and Darkness, which they considered the foundation of the life of the Universe. It is for this reason that runes as a talisman were so popular among the Slavs. These include the runes Perun, Dazhdbog, Mir.

There were also Slavic runes of Chaos (Chernobog, Need). The listed symbols were not only a source of evil. They were considered an important element of all things, because it is the confrontation between order and chaos that is the reason for the existence of all life on earth.

Important! Slavic runes are used both as letters and as images. For example, the word "Perun" can be spelled. In this case, the sound will remain the same. Or you can read from the images, then the meaning will be different: “The path is our joy in war.”

Slavic runes and their meaning

In order to make Slavic magical talismans yourself, you need to study a large amount of theoretical information: cultural features, religious customs, the meaning of ancient Slavic runes. The fact is that runes are not ordinary signs, but a kind of keys that pave the way to some god and his power. The goal of all Slavic magical runes is to strengthen the world order, to spread divine destiny in the world of people. Therefore, it is so important to know the meaning, description of Slavic runes and their interpretation.

1. World.

The main meaning of the Slavic rune is the Tree of the World, Belbog. This Slavic rune has a deep and complex meaning. The world is the symbol of the Slavic Junior Futhark, and the corresponding Madr or Mannaz rune is the traditional Senior Scandinavian one. The rune looks like a man who stretches his hands to the sky. The appearance is not accidental: each of us has a piece of the divine. The main meaning of the rune is the protection that the gods provide us.

1. Chernobog.

One of the main interpretations is destruction. Key words – Chaos, Darkness. Chernobog and Belobog are at two opposite ends, like a whole world and a destroyed one. This opposition can be seen in their appearance. Chernobog is the personification of the unconscious principle that exists in each of us.

1. Alatyr.

The meaning of this Slavic rune is the basis of the universe. Alatyr is a stone that is located in the very center of the Universe. Around him there is a war of dark and light forces that trigger the law of balance. For this reason, Alatyr is static, but it is always in the center of movement - the roads originate here. Such Slavic runes are the most effective and powerful amulets for children.

1. Rainbow.

Symbol of the road to Alatyr in Slavic and Scandinavian runes. For the same reason, it has neither beginning nor end. In other words, it is simply movement from one point to another. A state that does not resemble inertia or passivity on the one hand, and vanity without a goal on the other. A rainbow characterizes the measured course of life, the road to your goal.

1. Need.

The main word is fate. If you look at the image, the appearance of Need is similar to Alatyr, only this rune has its side turned in a different direction. The meaning of this Slavic rune is the need to stop movement and development. The reason may lie in financial difficulties or other problems that prevent a person from exploring the world. Such runic signs hide Viy - Veles as the god Navi. He carries a deadly fire, which is the cause of all kinds of interference.

1. Steal.

The key is Truth, Fire. Even translated from Old Church Slavonic “steal” is “fire”. This element is a gift from the gods, so the rune can be interpreted as a movement upward, towards the light. The same sign is a designation of speech, since it is the embodiment of a person’s desires, his plans and dreams. Fire purifies: it destroys lies and reveals the true face of each of us.

1. Required.

Key – Road, Warrior, Sacrifice, Courage. The Slavic rune looks like an arrow that points upward. It resembles the Scandinavian rune Teyvaz and has a similar meaning - victory. The secret meaning inherent in this rune is a sacrifice, without which one on the Road will not be able to realize one’s plans. However, in the inner tradition this is not an ordinary gift to higher powers. You need to sacrifice yourself. Talismans - requirements are chosen by representatives of the criminal world.

1. Force.

The key is Knowledge and Power. The rune resembles “I” with slightly offset side edges. The main point is the struggle with various problems in life, the ability to choose the right direction. The Slavic rune represents unity and integrity. In addition, this is the rune of Victory: the Warrior of the Spirit receives Strength only by winning victory over himself. To do this, you need to break the shackles of consciousness and sacrifice yourself in order to free your inner divine Self. Strength is described as the rune of victory, power, integrity - its magical meaning also correlates with these meanings. This Slavic rune helps a person strive for Victory and gaining integrity. With its help, you can find a solution even in the most difficult situations and take the right step.

1. Wind.

The main words are Wind, Veles, Top. The Slavic rune looks like an arrow with an empty shaft, the tip of which is directed upward. The Wind Rune also belongs to the ancient Slavic futhark. The main meaning is the opportunity to know, to know about the divine, to fulfill one’s destiny, to live in accordance with the plans of higher powers. The rune personifies the element of Wind and a person’s ability to self-development. The result of correct use of the rune is inspiration, which is bestowed by higher powers.

1. Bereginya.

Key words – Earth, Mother. The Slavic rune is the personification of the feminine principle, fertility, and the goddess - Mother. It is she who allows souls to receive physical embodiment on Earth and takes life when the right moment comes. For this reason, Beregini has several opposite names: the rune of Life and the rune of Death, since the Heavenly Mother (Scand. Frigg), who is responsible for the fate of a person, and the Underground Mother (Scand. Hel), who presides over the kingdom of the dead, are different manifestations of one Goddess. In the Nordic tradition, Bereginya is also the rune of Fate. The Slavic rune represents strength. However, this is a different force than that of the Wind rune, the heavy and powerful force of the Earth, which is directly related to the image of the Great Goddess.

Keys – Yarovit, Love, Fire. The Slavic rune personifies creativity, love, passion. They bring order to chaos and help achieve balance in the universe. Here we mean not only passion for members of the opposite sex, but also in a general sense – passion for life. Oud represents the masculine principle. However, this Slavic rune can be used by women who want to become a mother.

1. Lelya.

Personifies the daughter of the Great Mother, sister of Yarovit. These Slavic runes have Slavic roots. They are associated with water and water flows of streams. Like a spring that rushes into the distance, Lelya leads everyone with her. If we talk about the real world, then we are talking about intuition, which becomes a stimulus for movement. In the magical world, this rune represents premonitions, knowledge beyond the mind, forces that encourage us to constantly go on quests. It is also the rune of spring awakening and fertility, flowering and joy.

1. Rock.

The Slavic rune looks like the letter “Zh” written in a simple font. The key word is Incomprehensible. Fate is the main force on which our lives depend. He is not subject to the gods. There is nothing outside of Rock. Rock, Wyrd, Orlyog are not god, law or predetermination of events. This is All-That-Is. In the magical world, Doom is used to dedicate an object or situation to the Unknowable.

1. Support.

Key words – Stake, Pillar, Gods. Here the Slavic rune personifies the support of the ancestors, a strong connection with them. The support embodies the shamans' pole or tree. With their help, the shaman travels to heaven. The pole described here is the personification of higher powers, from which it takes strength for the journey. A circle surrounds him. It is the life of people who worship their deities.

1. Dazhdbog.

Personification of Fertility, Gifts. This Slavic rune embodies a variety of gifts - both material and spiritual. This is money, benefits, peace of mind, joy. Among the Scandinavians, this god is known as Frey, among the Celts - Dagda. The main attribute is a cornucopia or, in a more ancient form, a cauldron of inexhaustible benefits. The Dazhdbog rune is a continuous flow of gifts.

1. Perun.

The meaning of the Slavic rune is Power, Protection. Perun has special strength and power. This Slavic rune is the embodiment of the masculine principle. Perun is a symbol of the Divine world order, which is the opposite of Chaos. The power of Perun is based on the action of forces that can solve absolutely any problem. But on the other hand, these forces are heavy and cannot always act intelligently.

1. Eat.

The main words are Nature, Life. The Slavic rune personifies the divine forces that give life to everything in the world. Thanks to them, grass grows, the sap of the earth flows in the trees, and blood flows more actively through human vessels. There is the power of life. Light, free, bright. This is a natural craving for movement.

1. Source.

Keyword - Ice. To correctly interpret this Slavic rune, one must take into account that in the Nordic Tradition, ice is the original creative element. The main meaning is external stagnation, which at the same time presupposes constant internal work.

Slavic runes in the form of tattoos

Today, the symbols and meanings of Old Slavic runes are very popular in tattoos. If you decide to get a tattoo with Slavic runes, be especially careful. The wrong choice of a symbol or insufficient faith in its power can bring not benefit, but trouble. You'll be lucky if there's simply no effect. Otherwise, it will be the opposite of your expectations.

The main role is played by sincere belief in the capabilities of runes, since they have a strong connection with a specific god. Slavic runes are famous for their extraordinary capabilities only because faith has endowed them with power. Previously, the ancient Slavs used these symbols to protect themselves from dark forces and attract good luck to life. It is for these purposes that Old Slavic runes are still used today.

Therefore, when choosing Slavic runes for a tattoo, study their meaning. Such a tattoo will become a strong amulet for its owner. Depending on the purpose and desired effect, it is necessary to use different Slavic runes. Therefore, a more practical alternative to a tattoo is to make an amulet with the image of the chosen rune.

Slavic runes as amulets

There are various ways to use Slavic runes. The ancient Slavs used amulets with their image in order to protect themselves from the evil eye and other types of magical influences.

However, such amulets performed not only protective functions. They give a person strength and direct his energy in the right direction. The person who used the runes calmly solved all the problems that arose and got out of trouble. They were depicted on everything:

Doors and walls of houses.

Clothing and interior items, dishes.

Military uniforms, weapons, ships, etc.

And today, thanks to the use of magical Slavic runes, a person can:

Change your destiny.

Count on the support of the gods when moving up the career ladder.

Wait for help in terms of creative development.

Expect their participation in the sphere of relationships between people.

Get an incentive for self-improvement, etc.

Slavic runes can be used in any area of ​​a person’s life that is in a state of stagnation or decline. When used correctly, they can rid you of negative aspects and give you a strong charge of positive energy.

Slavic runes are applied to the base. The shape can be any - circle, rectangle, square. You can also use completely different materials: wood, leather, paper, stone, clay products. Silver objects were often used to apply Slavic symbols, as this material increases strength. When choosing a tree, we most often chose the following species: cedar, oak, birch, spruce.

Slavic runes and fortune telling

Slavic runes are a unique item for fortune telling. The archetypes and symbols that lie within them are distinguished by their depth and versatility. The information stored in them makes it possible to use them to find answers to questions in completely different areas - relationships, career, spiritual life. There is a version that Slavic runes are of divine origin. Their creation is often attributed to Veles. This god was able to recognize the truth of Light and Darkness and subjugated natural laws to himself. He made the world move.

Interpretation of runes for fortune telling:

World- personifies the inner world of a person. The rune is a symbol of Belobog, life, the desire to achieve true order and balance. The secret meaning of the rune is the favor of higher powers, spiritual development.

Chernobog– a symbol of death, a change in the ratio of warm and light forces. If this rune comes across during fortune telling, it shows the destruction of old ties that weigh you down, a way out of difficult situations.

Alatyr– cornerstone – altar. The Slavic rune represents the basis of everything that exists in our world. When dropped during fortune telling, it means stability of the situation.

Rainbow- a symbol of joy and happiness. It should be interpreted as a positive resolution to any situation, finding balance.

Need– has several meanings at once. Firstly, there is a lack of money. Secondly, she represents a fate from which one cannot hide. Interpretation - any restrictions, prohibitions, the need to adhere to the rules.

Steal– also has several meanings. It is both a cleansing fire and speech. In the first case, we are talking about getting rid of everything unnecessary and dilapidated. Secondly, speech means the revelation of talents, the embodiment of desires.

Treba- sacrifice, self-sacrifice, which have a clear goal - to gain new knowledge, try oneself in another field, achieve spiritual enlightenment.

Force– we are talking about inner strength. The rune symbolizes the opportunity to gain victory over oneself: to pacify one’s desires in order to achieve a great goal.

Wind- personifies the god Veles, who is the patron of magic. It should be interpreted as magical providence, creative charge, impulse, inspiration.

Bereginya- symbol of the mother goddess Makosh. She protects the family hearth and helps all living things. A rune dropped during fortune telling should be interpreted as wealth and fertility.

Oud- a sign that is paired with the Bereginya rune. It symbolizes masculine strength. Oud helps spouses and maintains good relationships in a couple.

Lelya- symbolizes the daughter of Mokosh. Lelya personifies spiritual vitality, the manifestation and strengthening of intuition.

Rock- indicates that it will not be possible to find out the outcome of the situation. Everything depends on divine powers. A person will in no way be able to influence the state of things.

Support– feeling of solid ground under your feet. Manifestations of strength of character in any, even the most difficult situations.

Dazhdbog- the personification of abundance, prosperity thanks to the help of divine powers. This Slavic rune can predict the receipt of an inheritance or money without any action on your part.

Perun- symbolizes the god of the same name. Speaks of protection from evil forces and guides you on the right path.

Eat- speaks of constant life development. In fortune telling, the Slavic rune speaks of good changes that are associated with important decisions.

Source– represents the world at peace, the beginning and the end. When doing fortune telling, it speaks of stagnation in life, which will soon pass, and the need to wait a little.

The values ​​we have described are only suitable for runes that are located directly.

But when turned upside down, they change their meaning, like this:

World comes out when a person cannot find a solution to the current situation. An upside-down world suggests that something urgently needs to be changed - first of all, spiritually. In addition, the Slavic rune may indicate the presence of complexes, emotional stress, uncertainty and unreasonable self-pity.

Chernobog speaks of the need to soberly assess one’s strengths. You need to analyze your actions and decisions. This Slavic rune also indicates the presence of complexes. Chernobog in an inverted position indicates selfishness, which becomes the cause of inaction and apathy.

Alatyr on the contrary, it indicates a person’s excessive self-confidence. This quality prevents him from taking the right steps on his path. Often the Slavic rune speaks of quarrels in the family and can predict the breakdown of the family. If during fortune telling this Slavic rune fell out, you must definitely work on your relationships with your loved ones.

Rainbow indicates that you have chosen the wrong path in life. However, you still have the opportunity to fix everything. In some cases, the Slavic rune indicates that a period of stagnation has begun in your life.

Need speaks of possible difficulties. Unfortunately, no matter how much you want, it will not be possible to quickly solve problems. The Slavic rune Need represents various limitations - physical and material.

Steal- a symbol of the indignation of divine forces. This Slavic rune serves as a kind of warning: your enemies are weaving intrigues. In addition, the symbol states: at the moment it will not be possible to get approval of your ideas from your environment. Now all new projects are doomed to criticism from your friends and acquaintances.

Treba shows that your sacrifices are meaningless. The people for whom you did it will not appreciate your actions. Business people are advised to pause negotiations and not enter into new deals for now - there is a possibility of running into scammers.

Force warns you that you are going down the wrong path. Often the Slavic rune speaks of the possibility of mistakes that will greatly affect your destiny. There is a high probability that this will happen while you are mentally celebrating your victory.

Wind indicates that you are a little confused in life - and this became the cause of all the troubles. The Slavic rune may indicate intrigue and gossip. There is a possibility that someone is trying to take power over you. This symbol indicates a person's desire to escape from all problems.

Bereginya warns of possible financial problems. The Slavic rune speaks of the impossibility of realizing plans. You shouldn’t think about investing – now is a very bad time for this.

Oud- a symbol of unabated lust and desire that cannot be controlled. The Slavic symbol represents meaningless desires. The sign indicates a lack of creative power to solve certain problems. Regular problems and failures can cause depression.

Lelya speaks of the emergence of life difficulties. Perhaps someone will want to use you for their own purposes. The Slavic rune may indicate deception and fraud. It can also indicate selfishness, which causes problems in communication.

Rock serves as a warning of approaching danger that cannot be logically explained. It was brought about by divine forces, so you are unable to do anything. This Slavic rune is a bad sign. You can’t change anything, all you have to do is prepare for the blow and learn a lesson from the current situation.

Support warns of possible losses. Often predicts future betrayal or departure of patrons from your life.

Dazhdbog a symbol of troubles that will affect different areas of life. When fortune telling, the Slavic rune falls out when a person’s financial situation worsens. In addition, the symbol indicates a lack of stability in life.

Perun- a symbol of incredible power. However, there is no place for wisdom here, so there is a possibility of very serious and even dangerous mistakes. Perun says that it will not be easy for a person to get support even from close people. The Slavic rune indicates a person’s lack of communication.

Eat- a good sign that indicates that everything in life is going according to plan. But despite the luck, you are still not very happy with the development of events. It is worth preparing for the fact that success will require a little effort.

Source speaks of insoluble problems. The Slavic rune warns: divine forces deliberately put obstacles in your way.

When guessing, you need to look at combinations of Slavic runes.

The most important combinations of Slavic runes:

“Krada”, “Strength”, “Bereginya” - a combination that speaks of financial success.

“Bereginya”, “Dazhdbog” - the combination indicates that you are protected from any negative actions.

“Bereginya”, “Rainbow”, “Lelya” - this combination suggests that you can prevent an accident.

“Bereginya”, “Peace” - the combination represents the onset of peace between enemies. Calmness and stress relief.

“Rainbow”, “Lelya” - this combination speaks of the need to think about your protection on the road.

“Treba”, “Peace” - the combination says that the time has come to strengthen your spirit.

We will help you figure it out and start your fruitful work with runes. Scandinavian, Anglo-Saxon, Slavic runes, sets of runes made of wood, stone and metal, runic amulets and talismans - this is not a complete list of what you will find in "Witch's Happiness" if you strive to master the power of runes.

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.

Symbols of evil

People, regardless of their beliefs and level of civilization, have always been afraid of death. The unknown hiding behind it terrifies a person. The ancient Slavs had their own myths associated with the afterlife.

Runes associated with death or with fate from which one cannot escape include the following.

Amulets with runes

Today, rune experts do not fully possess knowledge of the meanings of runic symbols, as was typical for the magi and shamans. At that time, faith in their power was extremely high. Particularly popular were amulets in the form of runes, which were made from silver, stone, gold and wood. Signs were also embroidered on shirts and ribbons that women wove into their braids. The strongest of them were these.

• Dazhdbog- a symbol of good, in the form of a cornucopia in the hands of Dazhdbog. The rune generously endows people with health, wealth, happiness, luck and success.
• Lelya associated with the element of water. The symbol means life awakening again and again. In the beliefs of the ancient Slavs, the goddess Lelya was a symbol of spring, the daughter of Beregini. The rune was used when they wanted to reveal their intuition and gain knowledge.
• Support means the axis of the universe, the help of the Gods. Its symbols are a circle surrounding the tree of Life and a stake. This rune is one of the most powerful, as it is believed that it has a connection with all the Gods at once.
• Rock has many meanings. On the one hand, it has a clearly negative interpretation. However, it is important to consider its position (inverted or upright) and position in the layout.

Protecting family, home and property

The ancient Slavs attached great importance to honoring the memory of their ancestors and knowledge of their family. People used natural energies to protect newborns and repose the dead.

Properly charged Old Slavic runes had magical properties. They harmonized the internal and external space. Some were used to protect family well-being, others - to protect the hearth, the possibility of procreation, and the birth of healthy and beautiful children. Here is their description:

1. The Oud rune is interpreted as: strength, fire, masculinity. She is associated with the god Yarovit and harmonizes male energy. To a woman who wore such a symbol, he attracted suitors and helped get rid of infertility.
2. Bereginya is a symbol that helps pregnant women. It was used to protect oneself and the fetus from the evil eye.
3. The Dazhdbog rune has a beneficial effect on a woman’s health. She is a sign of all that is most precious and bright.
4. Alatyr symbolizes the existence of a beginning and an end in every matter.

From damage and the evil eye

Ancient Slavic magicians used runes not only to create amulets, but also to protect against damage and the evil eye. A correctly made amulet can neutralize the negativity sent to a person. The following runes were used for protection:

Slavic runes have dense energy. The vital energy of humanity is built on a constant balance of good and evil. A reflection of this can be found in runes. It is very important before using them to study the meaning and influence of each, so as not to harm yourself.

Slavic runes as the alphabet of the Gods and the most ancient way of communicating with them and with each other have not caused disputes among historians and experts in the Russian Veda for a long time. Moreover: to our great joy and the general Strength of the People, the Native Memory is being revived every day, and the language of the Ancestors is being learned by the Brothers and Descendants with the same great pleasure and interest as modern foreign languages.

As before, amulets with deep meaning and enormous power are created from Slavic runes. Our masters present numerous works on the pages of this portal, in which each Slavic rune from the alphabet is compiled into a meaningful word or phrase, and carries a certain message and charge. Many of the alphabet approved today in the 18 main Slavic runes are translated in the form of Cyrillic letters, and the most powerful of them bear the name of the Native Gods: Perun, Chernobog, Dazhdbog and Lelya.

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

Be that as it may, you need to understand and feel each Scandinavian and Slavic rune, tune in to its sound in words and in the soul, understand with your heart what exactly it means for you and hear what is personal and important. Only after such training can you hope that your dialogue with the Gods will be heard correctly and that the sent answer will be quickly read.

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

Slavic runes with meanings corresponding to their purposes were used to create ornaments for embroidering home amulets, creating household items: dishes, interior decorations, religious items, outer and underwear for men, women or children, towels and belts.

By translating the Slavic runes on a person’s shirt or shield, one can understand both his belonging to the Family and his role in it, and also feel how strong his Faith and Patronage of the Gods are. In ritual symbolism, the Slavic alphabet is also used very actively - Sorcerers create real ligatures from runes, which, after proper activation and intention, carry a huge message and friendly interaction between Reveal, Navi and Rule.

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

Addressing them before the start of the mantika and receiving favor increases the Strength of the Family and cohesion, expresses the Spirit and Will, helps to realize the Future and prepare for it, sometimes changing the Path, having the opportunity to weave with Mother Makosh a happy Share in the Fate of the Family.

1. Rune Peace

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

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

The world, the rune of Belbog in the traditional Slavic representation is the image of God and Man as his incarnation in Reveal. The axis of the universe is the world's Family Tree, and the human spine is also the main thing that is the basis of the World. The Slavic rune itself symbolizes both a Tree growing upward and a person with his hands raised up. One of the main meanings of the word world is a clan, society, community, which certainly has its own Order, calling for observance of the Laws.

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

2. Rune Chernobog

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

Translation and meaning of the Slavic rune: in contrast to Belbog, Chernobog is absolute evil. In order for there to be room on the Path and in Life for something new and good, the old and unnecessary must be destroyed. Want new love, prepare to lose past memories, etc. Chernobog and Belbog are two sides of Being, two facets of Balance. The runes Mir (Belbog) and Chernobog together produce Rock, the rune of Fate. The meaning of the rune itself when translated: change and destruction, causing harm even for good purposes (for example, carrying out an operation), double bottom, hidden presence and negative impact.

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

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

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

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

3. Rune Alatyr

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

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

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

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

All the rivers of the World originate near Alatyr and all roads begin. Magical altars for appealing to the Rule and presenting the Treb are a symbolic image of the Alatyr-stone, which serves as the throne of the main Gods.

4. Rune Rainbow

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

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

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

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

5. Rune Need

In the Slavic runic alphabet it symbolizes the letter N
Main meanings: Viy, Nav, Fate, Falsehood, inevitability

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

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

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

6. Rune of Krada

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

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

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

7. Rune Treba

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

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

However, every game and achievement of victory implies rivalry, battle, competition - war. Overcoming difficulties, purpose, distribution of forces, their expenditure, achievements, skills, necessity - these are the main defining symbols of the Treba Word rune. Treba is similar in meaning to the Scandinavian rune Teyvaz. In northern tales there is such a legend: when the Gods caught Fernir - the Wolf, bringing with him Ragnarok, the end of the World, it was necessary to put strong fetters on the beast to protect him from his strength and actions. However, this could only be done by cunning. Promising Fernir that the Gods would only test the fetters and then remove them, Tyr put his hand in the wolf’s mouth as a pledge of the promised. The shackles were applied, but not removed, and Fernir bit off Tyru's hand. At this price, victory over Chaos and the continuation of Peace were achieved.

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

8. Rune Strength

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

Translation and meaning of the Slavic rune: It means absolutely any force acting on someone or something. It is also an effort made - an action that changes a situation or object. Beginning, impact, concentration, calling on Divine and elemental forces, calling and the ability to absorb the flow: all these are the key characteristics of this rune. In the Scandinavian Futhark, Strength in its meaning corresponds to the Soulu rune. For the Nords, strength is not only the opportunity and ability to change the whole world and oneself, but also following the chosen path without the shackles of consciousness, which separates thought and being. The Slavs also followed this logical interpretation and called the rune a symbol of victory over one’s fetters and the sacrifice of one’s external self for the sake of the present - the release of the Spirit and one’s own “I”. In magic, the use of this Slavic rune helps to direct the questioner on a short, victorious Path and clarify the question being asked, and make a decision to act.

9. Rune Wind

In the Slavic runic alphabet it symbolizes the letter B
Main meanings: Veles, Wind, strength, sorcerer, knowledge

Translation and meaning of the Slavic rune: variability, destruction, ending, destruction, natural disaster, inspiration, dispelling, purification, possibilities, speed - this is where the power of the Wind lies. The main thing is to learn how to control it and use it carefully for your own purposes, setting the correct vector of movement. As a rule, in work it is used in combination with other runes specifically to clarify a positive or negative position, as well as to work with the inner self, improvement and development, calling the elements and using air energy. At the level of magic, the Wind rune symbolizes the magic circle and the power in it, creating a whirlwind and giving speed. This rune symbolizes the strength, wisdom, wealth and knowledge of Veles. Visually, it resembles a double Treb - the rune of the warrior of the Spirit. Just like Treba, the Wind symbolizes a wanderer on the way to the Alatyr stone, heading for results and Power. On an emotional level, Wind is rage, inspiration, irresistible desire and action.

10. Rune Bereginya

In the Slavic runic alphabet it symbolizes the letter B
Main meanings: Mother Makosh, Earth, Fate, birch

Translation and meaning of the Slavic rune: Working with water and earth, gaining strength in a new endeavor, good luck, prosperity, well-being, solving all family issues and ending troubles, protection, justice and patronage - these are the main properties and meanings of the Bereginya rune. It is also famous for enhancing such qualities as female beauty, wisdom, cunning, maturity and fertility.

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

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

11. Rune Oud

In the Slavic runic alphabet it symbolizes the letter U
Main meanings: Yarovit, Yar, Yarilo, fire, love, passion, youth

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

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

12. Rune Lelya

In the Slavic runic alphabet it symbolizes the letter L
Main meanings: Lelya, love, water, attraction

Translation and meaning of the Slavic rune: Lelya, like the continuation of Lada, is youth, beauty, spring, clean streams and melting cold snow. Love, family, children, witchcraft, intuition, and joy are hidden in the meaning of the rune. In the magical aspect, Lelya awakens intuition and strength, setting off in search of the True. The Scandinavian futhark has a Laguz rune of similar meaning, and according to some criteria, this Slavic rune is similar to the action of Vunyo.

Since ancient times, Lelya was revered by her Slavic sons as the daughter of the Great Mother. From her name came many words with the same root, very warm and soft, the main ones in terms of power and meaning in a person’s life: lalya - child, cherish and others. Being the sister of Yarovit, who controls the element of fire, Lelya is connected with the element of water - clean and constantly moving, running along streams and rivers, feeding springs.

Under different names we meet Lelya as the goddess of strength in many cultures and legends: a sea or river maiden, the keeper of the Holy Grail and the paths to it, she leads as confidently and purposefully as a water stream flows, and nothing will stop her on the way to goals. It cannot be caught or imprisoned, but it envelops and flows, filling all living things with saving moisture, washing away sorrows and sorrows.
