growing number of historians agree that before the arrival of Christianity to Russia here reigned rich culture, which brought a holistic, comprehensive human development.And more and more people are interested in their true roots, which tried to destroy the various invaders.That is why the Slavic symbolism - a topic that should be studied more carefully.We need to revive it, restore, promote.
Slavic symbolism interesting, mysterious, unique.In Arcanum-runes secret beliefs of our ancestors, their ideas about the world, its creation of nature and man.They represent the link between people and the unearthly forces.With the characters were trying to protect themselves from disease, to bring luck, wealth or love.Old Slavonic amulets - ornaments, patterns, objects - helped Pagan Slavs communicate with otherworldly forces were coded knowledge about the most important in life.They were not simply signs, decorative elements, and carried the knowledge which have lost with the advent of a new religion.
Slavic symbolism goes back to paganism, that is to deify the forces of nature and its phenomena.Our ancestors worshiped earth, water and fire, so almost all the runes are connected with these elements.They asked for help and protection, they pinned their hopes.For example, land, symbolized diamond field, divided into parts, the swastika was a sign of fertility.Water drew a wavy line, and the fire seemed like a saltire and thunder mark (star with 6 or 8 beams).Also, the Slavs used the images and figures of horseshoes, rainbow, sun.These wards were located in vulnerable areas dwellings, they were applied to clothing and jewelry.That Slavic embroidery - a tribute to the ancient philosophy, which is to keep order in the community.
still in the territories inhabited by Slavs, popular characters that have pagan roots.People decorate doors horseshoe, mounted on the roof ridge or a rooster, and on the facade depict the sun, thunder sign.In many places, still believe in the existence of mermaids, forest mavok girls, devils, water.Images Frets be present in the house, and Mokosh - in the outbuildings.But, of course, the most sacred symbols of ancestors preserved in the form of patterns for embroidery.Blouses and shirts, ceremonial towels, towels, tablecloths and napkins are full of characters who came to us from time immemorial.
Rodnovers efforts of Slavic symbols reborn in the modern world.And every year my dear, but-forgotten culture is becoming more and more adherents.Of course, many signs are lost or tainted by unworthy people.Like the swastika used by German nationalists during World War II, and especially Hitler.However, this sign symbolizes the cycling world, promises a good, is a kind of a wish of happiness.And not only the Slavs were of this opinion.Similar Fleece was the Indians, Vikings, Japanese samurai, the Aryans, the Romans.
symbols that served our ancestors, and we can help.Nobody says that they will bring the fulfillment of all desires.But one thing they can be sure - is to regain contact with his birth, help us to be proud that we have created our great-great-grandparents.
