Decoding Slavic runes for fortune telling. Slavic runes: meaning and scope. What do the designations mean?

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 series, 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 deities, 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 worshiped under the name Freyr, 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 power-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.

The runes of the ancient Slavs are the first written symbols, a kind of alphabet. Runes among the Slavs, according to legend, appeared thanks to the god Odin. He was the first to know the runes and gave them to people.

But the runes of the Slavs were also used in fortune telling and rituals performed by the Magi. In this area of life they were given a special, magical meaning. During archaeological excavations, Slavic runes are a fairly common find. They can be inscribed on clay dishes, household items, jewelry, and fabric. And it is quite possible that on these things they performed a protective function. The protective runes of the Slavs were also used to create amulets. The latter were made of silver and wood.

We use the term "Slavic runes". But this concept is not entirely correct. If we remember that there were four clans of the Great Race: Ha'Aryans, Da'Aryans, Rasen and Svyatorus. Only the last two are classified as Slavs, and the first two clans are Aryans. Therefore, it is more correct to say “runes of the Slavs and Aryans.” However, only the Ha'Aryans used runes as writing. Their alphabetic system was called Karuna and was considered one of the most advanced types of writing that existed in ancient times.

Karuna consisted of 144 runes. The ancient runes of the Slavs have survived to this day. Today we know eighteen ancient Slavic signs. But it is quite possible that there were much more. Some historians believe that these famous eighteen symbols are part, and a very small one, of the great Karuna.

Slavic-Aryan Vedas

The famous Vedas of the Slavs (Slavic-Aryan) were written down using a script containing runes. The runes in them are great and secret images that store and transmit a huge amount of information from the ancestors. In the Vedas, these signs are written down in slokas. Shloka is a collection of nine rows, each of which contains sixteen runes. And, in turn, sixteen slokas form Santhiya. There are nine Santias in total in the Slavic-Aryan Vedas.

Slavic runes and their meaning

The ancient runes of the Slavs and their meaning are undoubtedly of interest to us, as to our descendants. Some runes are named after gods (Perun, Dazhdbog). Symbols have both positive and negative meanings. And some of them are similar to modern letters of the Russian alphabet.

Runes of the ancient Slavs and their meaning:

Perhaps someday other symbols will be revealed to us. Most likely there were more of them. But let's not look ahead. Everything has its time.

For those who are interested in this issue, we advise you to read the book “Runes of the Slavs and the Glagolitic alphabet”, the authors of which are Platov and Taranov. As you know, these are the alphabets that existed before the advent of the Cyrillic alphabet, before the adoption of Christianity in Rus'.
We also recommend the book “Runes”

The existence of such writing has not been proven by historians; this technique was invented by modern followers of the native Russian gods. Everything about Slavic runes: meaning, description and their interpretation. This method of fortune telling, although modern and not ancient, as it might seem, really works. Slavic runes will help protect yourself, your family, and loved ones with the help of magic. Protect from what? From a bad look, from the evil eye, from unkind people who can slander or damage a person, from difficult life situations - in a word, from everything that no normal person would wish for himself. What is the power of Slavic runes and how can it help protect yourself and loved ones?

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 in 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 from 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.

Support

Traditionally, the gods were perceived by the Slavs as pillars, supports; in the ancient languages of the northern peoples, even the words god and pillar sounded the same. Also, a pillar is a pole, a shaman’s tree, along which he climbs straight to heaven. It turns out that the poles are also gods, giving shamans the strength to travel.

In fortune telling, the fallen rune of Support is most often interpreted as support provided by the gods. It is also a symbol of the fact that a person is given the opportunity to gain strength of spirit, strong support, and an unshakable position, which will allow him to cope with any obstacles in life.

Questions from visitors and answers from experts:

Source

Cold rune, meaning “freezing” everything - diseases, social phenomena, attacks of rage and aggression. However, “freezing” in this case does not mean elimination. This is only a temporary stop of some negative processes and events, giving a respite.

The rune also protects from external processes and internal thoughts and torment. It creates a so-called shell that does not allow you to feel negativity.

The magical meaning of the rune is stagnant phenomena and processes, the onset of a crisis in personal relationships or in the business sphere.

If you get the Source rune during fortune telling, it should be considered a good sign. The frozen state will not last forever. It carries within itself the powerful force of further thawing, development, and movement forward, which is symbolized by the rune Is.

Eat

The rune of Life itself and movement, the naturalness of being - as opposed to dead immobility. It is also a symbol of divine forces, by whose will trees grow and life juices are carried through their trunks. The Rune Is makes blood run through a person’s veins.

In magical terms, the rune Is symbolizes movement, development, growth, renewal of a situation or process. All of this follows the temporary freeze that the Source brings. It is the rune Is that ensures the life process on Earth, through the harmonious combination of the runes of Krad and Dazhdbog, although they are in an eternal struggle.

Rainbow

The Rainbow Rune is a road that is predetermined by the unity and confrontation of the forces of Belbog and Chernobog. In turn, the path means something more significant than movement in time and space. This is at the same time a state that is neither like vanity nor like peace. It is somewhere in the middle between Chaos and divine Order.

When doing fortune telling, the Rainbow rune symbolizes stable movement forward, assistance in travel, positive resolution of difficult and confusing life situations. In general, the rune can be characterized by the formula “do what you must, and let what will be be.”

The Rainbow rune was also borrowed from the Scandinavians. In the original it is called “Raido”, which translates as “road”.

Rock

Rune Rock is a symbol of the unmanifested divine Spirit, which is both the beginning and the end of all things on Earth. The symbol is similar to the Eastern Tao and can be illustrated by the words of Herodotus: “What is destined by fate, even God cannot avoid it.”

The magical meaning of the symbol: unknown higher forces begin to influence the current situation, so its outcome, like the future in general, cannot be predicted. The Rock rune is also used to dedicate something - an object, a situation, a phenomenon - to the Unknowable.

Perun

The pantheon of Slavic gods is represented in the system by the symbols of Perun, Dazhdbog, Krad, Belbog and Chernobog. The rune Perun symbolizes the thunderer, who protects both gods and mere mortals from the forces of Darkness. It is a sign of masculinity, strength, power and straightforwardness.

In fortune telling, Perun can mean the emergence of a powerful force that can move the situation forward or provide additional energy. Also, the rune of the thunderer can indicate personal power and divine power, protecting against mental or physical destruction.

Dazhdbog

The meaning of this rune is Good, in every sense. This is both material - money, things, and spiritual - joy, love, prosperity. The main attribute of Dazhdbog is the horn of plenty, in other variations it is an inexhaustible cauldron of all kinds of benefits. The Scandinavians call him Freira, the Celts call him Dagda.

The Dazhdbog symbol indicates a quick improvement in your financial or spiritual condition.

During fortune telling, the appearance of the Dazhdbog symbol indicates an imminent improvement in your financial or spiritual condition. This could be the acquisition of something, the development of new relationships and connections, making new acquaintances, as well as a favorable outcome of some important actions.

Steal

The word "krada" has Slavic roots and means sacrificial fire. Thus, Krada is a rune of fire, close to the German Gebo and Kano. According to pagan beliefs, fire is a divine gift and the power that embodies the manifestation of the divine in the Middle World.

Krada is the rune of speech, since the northern peoples have always believed in the power of the word, its correspondence to the plan. Also, Krada symbolizes the loss of everything superficial, alluvial, since fire symbolizes purification, embodiment and realization of all intentions.

World

One of the most difficult runes to interpret. From the point of view of the ancient pagans, Belbog represents an ordinary person in the form of a god. At the same time, God personifies the entire world around us. This means that mere mortals are a reflection of this world, or macrocosms.

The World rune indicates the divine nature of the inner world of man and symbolizes the forces that direct the World to the absolute Order established by the gods. In fortune telling, the Belbog rune means patronage and protection from the forces of light.

Chernobog

The rune of Chernobog symbolizes a deity who is in constant conflict with Belbog. If Belbog strives to bring the World to ideal Order, then Chernobog is aimed at destruction, Chaos. However, defining them as “good” and “evil” is wrong, since only when these gods confront each other is Balance maintained.

Chernobog represents a trinity: the trickster god, the jester god and the clown god; all of them are in an eternal struggle with the Guardian of the Order established by other gods and constantly violate the boundaries of this Order. Also, the Chernobog rune symbolizes the unconscious. Its magical interpretation is the breaking of a vicious circle, the destruction of outdated connections.

Runic amulets of the Slavs

For long rune service, it is important to choose the right material. The simplest is stone, metal or wood. They recommend making them from wood, stone, and metal. The lightest and most amenable to processing is wood, so most runes are most often made from wood. The selected wood is cut into small pieces; an oval shape is best used. The pieces are processed, then symbols are applied to them. Each rune is varnished and placed in a fabric bag.

Stone and metal are difficult to process, so these runes are quite difficult to make at home. Although a rune made of stone has more power than a metal rune, a rune made of metal has more power than a rune made of wood.

You can order the production from a master, but the runes will be better connected to you. Especially applying symbols to runes is an important step. This is when the combination of runes with your energy begins. And you should not neglect this in the initial stages of creation. Runes must be stored in a bag made of soft and always natural fabric. It can be cotton or linen fabric.

How to activate a rune - place the rune in your palm, hold it, close your eyes and think about good things. Imagine what you want and what goals you want to achieve. This eliminates all negative effects if the rune was not made by you.

Conclusion

Don’t forget, before you start practicing, telling fortunes with runes, creating amulets and amulets, be sure to study the theory, and carefully, and not superficially. You need to know it thoroughly, every sign, every combination, otherwise you can harm yourself and those who receive your amulets. The formula must be composed correctly, because even positive symbols in an incorrectly composed formula will give a negative result. The effect will not be at all what is expected.

Slavic runes are more than just symbols. The culture of every nation lies not only in fairy tales, legends and traditions.

A sign of a full-fledged culture is considered to be writing, with the help of which everything that happens to a separate group of people, nation and civilization is recorded. And the Slavic-Aryan civilization is no exception - a lot of evidence has survived to this day that our ancestors were a highly educated race that knew, perhaps even more than our generation.

Slavic runes, meaning, description and their interpretation - this is part of the culture of the Slavs, and not only the ancients, but also the present. Slavic runic writing is a figurative writing of tribes belonging to the Slavic-Aryan race, used in pre-Christian times. Runes were known long before the appearance of the first versions of the Old Church Slavonic language based on the Cyrillic and Glagolitic alphabet.

Some skeptics, especially from Christian circles, argue that Slavic runes did not exist, but how can we explain the strange symbols on the ancient temples located on the territory of our country. No one will argue that there are extremely few sources according to which one can assert the existence of runic ancient Slavic writing, so the question still remains open. But at the same time, it is difficult to find another logical explanation for the symbols applied to the tools, weapons and household items of the ancient Slavs.

Slavic runes amulets - they were more than just symbols with which information could be stored. This is part of culture, a system of knowledge preservation. The symbolism of Slavic runes consists of a special energy and information space in which the ancient Slavic peoples lived.

It is worth immediately stipulating the following point: the very concept of “Slavic runes” cannot be considered absolute, since the Slavs are just half of the Race - Rasen and Svyatorus. The second half of the Race - Ha'Aryans and Da'Aryans - have a slightly different name - Aryans. But this point is the topic of a separate discussion and even a scientific treatise, which can serve as the basis for writing a doctoral dissertation. Therefore, Slavic runes are a fairly general definition that is worth discussing in more detail.

Runic writing was first used by the Ha'Aryans, who compiled the first alphabet of runes - the Ha'Aryan Karuna. To put it simply, karuna is an inscription of a word consisting of two runes, in which the rune “ka” means connection, and “rune” is the main element of such a unique writing. It is worth noting that each Great Family had its own written language:

The Da'Aryans have trags,
The Rasens have word of mouth,
The Svyatorus have initial letters.

Today there are no analogues of writing symbols and letters for Slavic runes, since all systems of writing symbols are quite conventional. According to experts, Karuna was the most successful and perfect version of writing, since it was easier than other options to write and remember. An important feature of Slavic runes is that their actual number and full designation are unknown. For example, Pater Diy Svyatoslav knew about three million runic symbols.

Many people who are just beginning to be interested in Slavic culture mistakenly confuse the Slavic runes with the illiterate Vedas runes that have nothing in common with them, about which all that is known is that they were primitive and practically did not carry any logical load. The ancient Slavs used their own runes for millions of years, and our contemporaries, who honor their roots, write or even today.

Features of reading Slavic runes

It is important to understand that the standard 18 Slavic runes, which can most often be found in many sources, are just part of the runic symbols used by the ancient Slavs. Karuna had one feature that must be taken into account; the runes in it can have a variety of meanings - it can be a separate letter, a syllable, a word, or even a whole image. It is worth saying that images in Slavic writing were a priority, and one rune could have up to three meanings depending on the specifics of use (images that may be necessarily related to each other).

In order to write down the runes, slokas were used - 9 rows with 16 symbols in each. Every 16 shlokas formed larger letters - Santhias. In order for the Santias to be not just a series of symbols, but to carry an informational and energetic load, they were applied to precious metals (gold or silver) rolled into plates. Up to 4 shlokas were applied to both sides of a metal plate; such a plate was also called Santhiya. 9 Santii, collected into a single whole, were a Circle.

One of the features of writing shlokas can be considered the fact that there are not 16, but 32 runes in a row. According to this rule, each first rune is a commentary on the second, taking into account the context of the entire text. Quite often, 64 runes are used, which indicate a double translation of the previously applied text. In order to correctly read the shloka of runes, you need to read from the first line from left to right to the last line. After which the procedure is repeated in reverse order, rising from the outermost rune to the first. According to scientific research and archaeological excavations, it is possible to read the text in two ways - by letters or images. In the first, everything is simple and banal - each sound is encrypted with a symbol. When reading figuratively, a key image is initially determined, to which the remaining runes are attached, and then the reading proceeds according to the standard algorithm. The result of such writing and reading is a message that is received in letters and images. It is worth saying that quite a lot of specific narrow-profile literature is devoted to Slavic runes and their meaning, which is usually found in the closed collections of museums and central libraries not only in our country, but also in the world.

In order to understand the basic principles of reading runes, consider an example - the name of the well-known Slavic god Perun. If it is written in runes as letters, then everything is simple - you get the name “Perun”. But if you read it in images, the phrase will be much more complicated - “The path is our joy of war.” At the same time, we should not forget that there is an even more complex version of reading, but it is accessible to a greater extent to historians and researchers, although if there is a desire, an inquisitive descendant of the ancient Slavs will be able to figure it out.

How many runes are there and what can they mean?

The standard Karuna contains 144 runes, in addition to which we can highlight the runes of movement, time, and figurative ones (they are quite difficult for modern people to understand). If we consider the karunic records as a source of information, then they are not so difficult to read either by letters or by images. For example, Veles is a double rune, consisting of “ve” - the knower, and “les” - the Universe. When written with a capital letter instead of “e” in the “forest” rune, it is written as “yat”, so the image obtained is the Universe, and not green spaces. And there are several thousand such examples of words that were used by our ancestors and today, but you can read about them in more detail in special historical and philological literature or in special university courses.

Quite often you can find mention of the Ha'Aryan Karuna as a Scandinavian utharka, consisting of 24 runes. Slavic runes and Scandinavian uthark can only be used in an esoteric context, since they are just a component of the general karunic or symbolistic system. If you look at the runes from the point of view of modern times, they have somewhat lost their usefulness. They can only be used to learn the traditions and customs of our ancestors, touching lost and lost knowledge.

The meaning of the runes of the Slavic peoples

Slavic runes and their meaning are one of the main issues that interest modern Slavs. Their meanings can be obtained even without special knowledge, it is enough just to know the gods and the names of the runes. The standard 18 basic runes are considered the most magical and are widely used in a variety of occult rituals. Runes are applied to any objects and surfaces, from weapons to tattoos on the body. The decoding of Slavic runic amulets is closely related to specific Slavic deities, since each rune symbolizes one god. The simplest interpretation is:

Wind - Veles;
Bereginya - Mokosh;
Ud - Yarilo;
Need - King Navi Viy;
Peace and Family - Belobog;
Yes - Alive.

An inquisitive descendant of the Slavs, who knows all the features of each god and their graphic interpretation, can make a talisman on his own that partially fulfills its purpose. The runes of the Slavs are part of the knowledge hidden from the average person; they have a hidden meaning that allows you to use the traditions of paganism in order to improve interpersonal relationships, wealth, and get a promotion. Charms and amulets make it possible to get the desired result, and to some extent remind you that you need to make decisions on your own in order to realize your plans. The popularity of Slavic symbols in the last few years is explained by the fact that more and more people dream of understanding the secrets of the Aryan Slavs, learning more about their traditions, beliefs and rituals. Therefore, today it is not a problem to buy a Slavic obreg, which will bring good luck and improve relationships. The most popular amulets are made of silver, since this metal has always been considered magical from the beginning.

Slavic alphabets based on runes

In order to correctly understand and use the runes of the Slavs, it is important to know that there are not many basic runic alphabets, each of which has its own characteristics of use and application:

Wendish (Vendish) runes are an alphabet used by the Slavs who lived in the southern Baltic between the Elbe and Vistula until the middle of the first millennium AD;
Boyan's runes - they were used to write the Boyan's Hymn (one of the most famous ancient Slavic epics) in the fourth century. These runes are similar to the symbols of the peoples of Greece, Asia Minor and the Black Sea coast;
Veles runes were used in the cultural and social relations of the Eastern Slavs. With their help, chronicles were kept in Rus' until the 9th century. They wrote the “Book of Veles” - one of the main collections of rituals, legends and tales of the Slavs.
Runitsa - according to some scientists, this alphabet has existed since Paleolithic times, on the basis of which the Cyrillic and Glagolitic alphabet were compiled. At the same time, there is a theory that such a “rune” is the basis for the writing of Ancient Egypt and China.

It is worth remembering that Slavic runes are not just beautiful symbols, the application of which has become popular, they are part of our history. The question of studying runic writing is a complex issue, requiring not just basic knowledge of mythology, but also a fundamental study of cultural and social relations throughout the history of all civilizations that have contributed to the development and formation of humanity.

18 Slavic Runes used in modern times

Slavic runic writing in the modern world has become the basis of magical rites and rituals. Ancient symbols have strong energy associated with the forces of nature with which our ancestors communicated. Slavic runes and their meaning are a reflection of this connection, faith in the Gods and communication with them.

Old Slavic runic symbols and their meaning are a reflection of this connection, faith in the Gods and communication with them

Magicians use powerful energy flows to obtain predictions, as well as protection from the evil eye and damage. Some pagan symbols are also used as amulets. But, before using ancient Slavic runes, you should understand for yourself their meaning and influence on a person’s destiny.

Remnants of the strength and power of the past

Old Slavic runes are sets of signs used by the ancient tribes that inhabited the countries of central and eastern Europe.

For writing, people used some of these signs, which were called rows. The Slavic runic alphabet itself experienced a lot of difficulties. It's all because of the Baptism of Rus' and the fight against everything pagan after this date. Only part of the World accepted Christianity. Therefore, little information has been preserved about the Boyan and Veles runes.

Runitsa, known for its ancient mentions in Chinese and ancient Egyptian writings, also suffered. According to many scientists, it was these Slavic runes, their meaning, description and interpretation, that influenced the emergence of writing in many countries of the Far East.

The runes of the Slavs today are used only for magical purposes. The energy of ancient tribes and their connections with Higher powers can help each person solve some important life issues, give a correct prediction and protect him from the evil eye and damage. But, like any other sign, Slavic Aryan runes will be effective only if you believe in them.

The destinies of the ancients were generously thanked by the Gods for their faith. It was she who gave them hope for a bright future and helped them wait for rain during a drought or get a good harvest in the fall. They solved any important issues for themselves with the help of runes, creating amulets, amulets or applying them to their clothes.

Features of Slavic runes

The runes of the ancient Slavs have not reached our time in their entirety. Only the strongest runes remained. There are 18 of them in total. All of them are divided into 3 attas, 6 runes each. Before telling fortunes or performing certain rituals with their help, you need to know about the features of these signs and their use in magic.

The main, most powerful symbols are the Slavic runes, which bear the names of the Gods:

Perun.
Chernobog.
Dazhdbog.
Lely.

A beginning practitioner should know that each sign has its own element, as well as its opposite. Thus, the designation of the “Chernobog” rune is completely opposite to the “Belobog” rune. In addition, opposite symbols can be used in one magic formula.

Understanding runic ligatures and their use for magical purposes can raise many questions and problems for novice practitioners. It is very difficult to correctly understand the interpretation of Slavic runes, because in order to effectively manage the energy of symbols, you need to know runic writing, understand paganism and know the history of the Slavic-Aryan tribes.

According to legend, the runic alphabet of the Slavs itself is a gift. Veles made it. In everyday life, these signs reflect the unity of the three attas - world order, normalization of chaos and human connection with them.

Division into attas and rows

Slavic runes have a close energetic connection with a person and reflect his existence. The constant balance of good and evil is what the vital energy of all humanity is built on. The rune symbols reflect this.

The ancient Slavic understanding of such an energetic connection is partly forgotten, but not lost. In addition, you can understand the whole picture of the “gift of the Gods” by knowing which runes are included in a particular att.

The first att is a display of the balance of Good and Evil. Order and chaos are provided by 6 runes, in the following sequence:

"Eat".
"Oud."
"Dazhdbog"
"Chernobog".
"Rainbow".
"Stealing."

The second att is a reflection of the Divine will that shapes human existence. The runes of this atta include:

"Rock".
"Need".
"Source".
"Force".
"Support".
"Perun".

The third att – displays “Reality”. The human spirit is eternal, but on Earth it fulfills only its short-term role. This att includes:

"Treba."
"Bereginya."
"Wind".
"Belobog"
"Lelya."
"Alatyr".

The rune "Alatyr" is included in the third Att

In addition, since ancient times, in Rus', the Slavic Aryan tribes believed that each sign has a certain power. There are 6 of them in total.

The meaning of Slavic runes depends precisely on what power they relate to. It is not difficult to determine the affiliation of a particular rune, because the number of the symbol in the atta indicates this.

The first strength is internal. This includes the rune Is, the rune Rock and Treba. The second is connecting with energy. It includes the Oud rune, as well as Need and Bereginya. The third is power control, a person’s ability to understand and feel. It is represented by: the Dazhdbog rune, the Source rune and the Wind rune.

The fourth is the action of force. This series includes: the Chernobog rune, the Strength rune and the Belobog rune. The fifth and sixth rows are the difference between consciousness and self-awareness, as well as their perception. The fifth row includes: the Rainbow rune, the Support rune and the Lelya rune. And in the sixth - the rune of Perun, the rune of Alatyr and Krada.

Features of the magical use of Slavic runes

The meaning of Slavic runes largely depends on the purpose for which they are used. The symbols and runic formulas that are made up of them can be used for:

fortune telling and other magical rituals;
amulets and amulets;
treatment of diseases.

Old Slavic runic symbols are used to treat diseases

Since ancient times, in Rus', fortune telling with runes has been one of the most powerful ways to find out and influence the human future. For novice practitioners, Slavic runes, amulets, as well as various fortune telling are exactly what they turn to magic for.

But few people know that these signs can help a person get rid of diseases. There are many methods of magical healing. But, most often, Slavic-Aryan symbols are used as decoration for enchanted baked goods. That is, in order for a patient to be cured of an illness, he should eat a pie with certain signs laid out on it, which together form a formula.

Popular fortune telling with runes

Fortune telling on Slavic runes can give a person an accurate answer to some questions, the likelihood of desires coming true, etc. There are a lot of options for working with these symbols. The most popular and easiest for a beginner practitioner is fortune telling called “Cry of the Raven.” With its help, you can get a short answer from the Gods to an exciting question - yes or no. Therefore, anyone who wants to use runic signs for such an action must prepare clearly formulated questions in advance.

More experienced magicians identify another fortune telling that can give a person more information about the future. It is called the “Staff of Veles”. This magical ritual is simple and similar to some fortune telling on cards and other runes. It uses only 3 positions - signs. The first characterizes a person’s past, the second – the present, and the third – the future. But, before you take on such fortune-telling, you need to know about the peculiarities of the interpretation of runes.

Features of rune interpretation

Since ancient times, in Rus', people believed in the existence and power of the Gods. Each person communicated with them through the forces of nature, as well as the runes themselves. Modern man has long lost these skills, especially with the advent of Christianity in Europe.

But some “imprints of the past” still remain. Partly they relate to the interpretation of runes, understanding their deep meaning for its use for certain purposes. Here are some of them:

“Belobog” is the rune of Peace. The progenitor of all living things. The Peace rune, which goes to a person, protects him from bad deeds.
“Strength” is the rune of victory, power and determination. Its bearer must be hardy and strong in spirit, since this symbol needs constant energy replenishment.
"Treba" is the rune of war. Characterizes constant struggle. The rule is - take and give. Its bearer, in order to get what he wants, must part with something of his own.

"Treba" is a rune of war, symbolizing constant struggle.

There is a female and a male rune. Thus, “Bereginya” is a symbol of motherhood, and “Ud” is a symbol of fertility. Her patron is God Yarilo. For men, such a symbol gives increased masculine energy and also protects them from diseases.

In Rus', ancient tribes believed that everything that happens to a person is the will of the Higher Powers. Man is a particle of the world and chaos, and in order to control them, you need to believe in the Gods. In addition, many magicians and sorcerers from different countries talk about the strong energy of Slavic runes, more powerful than those of the Scandinavian ones.

But there is another part of the magicians who finds much in common between the two ancient peoples and their traditions, which is also reflected in their writing. Therefore, it will not be possible to find out which runes are stronger.
