Slavic gods. Slavic Vedas

Svarog (Old Russian: Svarog, Sovarog) - according to the Slavic translation of the chronicle of John Malala - the blacksmith god, the father of Dazhbog. According to some researchers, he is the supreme god of the Eastern Slavs, heavenly fire. Some researchers identify Svarog with Svarozhich.

Etymology

Researchers have long been attracted by the consonance of the theonym Svarog with ancient Indian. svarga "sky, heavenly". Based on this consonance, a conclusion was drawn about the linguistic relationship of these words and even about the functions of Svarog as a Slavic deity. Nowadays, thanks to the theory of O. N. Trubachev about the Indo-Aryan linguistic substrate in the Northern Black Sea region, attempts are being made to substantiate this hypothesis about the Indo-Aryan origin of the theonym Svarog. This theonym was, according to Trubachev, borrowed by the Slavs from the Indo-Aryans in the Northern Black Sea region and comes from the same svarga “sky, heavenly”.

O. Trubachev’s theory about the Indo-Aryan linguo-ethnic component in the Northern Black Sea region was, on the one hand, criticized by a number of Iranianists (E. A. Grantovsky, D. S. Raevsky) and Indologists (M. Mayrhofer), and at the same time supported by the German Indo-Europeanist Wolfgang Schmidt (German) Russian, Russian Indologist V. N. Toporov, as well as Russian Iranian and Indologist D. I. Edelman, who, referring to the works of O. Trubachev, considers it possible both to preserve the Indo-Aryan element in the Northern Black Sea region and and the penetration of Indo-Aryan borrowings into the Slavic languages, which are not always distinguishable from borrowings from Iranian.

Also, the Italian Slavist M. Enrietti, relying on O. Trubachev’s theory about the preservation of the Indo-Aryan element in the Northern Black Sea region, admits the possibility of direct borrowing of the theonym Svarog into the Slavic language from Indo-Aryan. In turn, archaeologist and social anthropologist L. S. Klein, for example, sees no other alternatives in the case of the theonym Svarog, except to agree with the Indo-Aryan hypothesis. M. Vasmer writes that the theonym Svarog is associated with Praslav. svara, svarь, as a result of which the name itself takes on the meaning of “arguing, punishing.” V. J. Mansikka also mentions rum, borrowed from the Slavs. sfarogŭ, švarogŭ “dry, burning.”

According to myths

From the sacred language of the Aryans, Sanskrit, the word “Svarog” is translated as “walking in the sky.” In ancient times, it was used to designate the daily path of the sun across the sky, then it began to be used to refer to the sky in general, heavenly light. In other words, the son of Rod, the god Svarog, is the Heavenly Father. Sometimes he was simply called God.

Svarog cooked (cooked, created) the earth. He found the magic stone Alatyr, cast a magic spell - the stone grew and became a huge white-flammable stone. God churned the ocean for them. The thickened moisture became the first dry land. In the Indian Vedas this creation is called the Churning of the Ocean. He also used Alatyr for other important purposes: he hit it with a hammer - from the sparks flying in all directions, new gods and ratichs - heavenly warriors - were born.

In later times, the great half-horse wizard Kitovras (the Greeks called him the centaur Chiron) built a temple in honor of the Almighty around Alatyr. This is how the word altar appeared - the most sacred place in the temple.

Svarog taught people to cook (create) cottage cheese and cheese from milk, which were once considered sacred food, a gift from the gods. God also created Blue Svarga - a country in the heavens where our glorious ancestors live. Bright stars are their shining eyes, with which grandfathers and great-grandfathers look from heaven at our earthly affairs. “Bungle” still means to create in a miraculous, masterful way. You can cook and “jaw” only with the help of fire and water (“var” – Sanskrit, water).

Svarog is the source of fire and its ruler. He creates not with words, not with magic, unlike Veles, but with his hands, he creates the material world. He took care of people: he gave them the Sun-Ra (hence our word joy) - and a fire on which they could cook food and with which they could warm themselves in the severe cold. Svarog threw a plow and a yoke from the sky to the ground in order to cultivate the land; a battle ax to protect this land from enemies, and a bowl for preparing a sacred drink in it.

The Temple of the Most High with the altar-Alatyr stood on the slope of the sacred Mount Elbrus, the highest in the Caucasus (5600 meters). In ancient times, this mountain was called by different names: Bel-Alabyr, White Mountain, Belina. The Belaya River flows right here, and the White City used to be where the Belogor people lived. All the names in these places are associated with the color of Alatyr - a white stone, when struck, sparks flew out. In the same area, until recently, there stood a majestic monument to the great Slavic-Russian hero, descendant of the Belogors, Bus Beloyar.

Perhaps one of the most important deeds of the Heavenly Father was the Small and Large Kola (circles) he created of times - earthly and cosmic. Svarog is the creator god and legislator, the father of the Svarozhichi (Perun, Dazhdbog-Radegast, Semargl-Fire and Stribog-Wind), a demiurge correlated with Hephaestus, according to a worldview that goes back to the Orphic tradition. Any forge, any forge is already a temple of Svarog, therefore, when arranging temples, a modern pagan should remember this. With a wooden idol of Svarog, the fire must burn, the metal must glow, and the idol itself must be covered with metal. At the temple of Svarog there should be a hammer (or a heavy iron stick-crowbar) and an anvil. It was Svarog who started the Iron Age and taught people to use iron tools.

Attributes of God Svarog

Bird: Alkonost. According to legend, this bird, the Messenger of the Gods, carried the commands of Svarog to the Gods and people.

Animal: a fiery boar, in whose guise God Svarog sometimes appeared in the Manifest World.

Symbol: hammer. According to legends, when God Svarog hit the Alatyr stone with a hammer, Gods were born from the sparks. And if a spark hits a person, the gift of creativity is born in that person’s chest - that’s what they say: “the spark of God.”

Requirement (offering): fire

Svarog - Patron God

Svarog gives protection to those who show character traits similar to Him. God Svarog is laconic, hardworking, and fair. If you have the qualities of such a God, and his sparks have sunk into your soul, then you are also like him.

Usually people like:

silent;
hard-working;
love specificity and accuracy;
practical;
reliable;
responsible;
diligent in work;
love privacy.

You are a man of your word: “Said and done!” Everything is short and clear. All responsibilities must be clearly distributed, and any work must be completed. The following words can also be said about you:

You are strong-willed, resilient, a connoisseur of everything beautiful and practical, a recipient of true pleasure from work, unyielding and stubborn, objective, prudent, fair - you know how to divide into those who are right and those who are wrong.

Veneration and analogues in other mythologies

Little information has been preserved about Svarog. He was not included in the list of “Vladimir’s” gods, but is mentioned in some ancient Russian written sources. It is known that in Slavic mythology he was revered as the god of fire. “Svarog” or “Svarozhich” was the name given to a personified blazing fire on the altar or in the hearth. In one of the ancient Russian teachings against paganism of the 14th century. it is said that the pagans “put their needs to their idols and cut chickens for them and pray to the fire [they pray to the fire] calling him svarozhits [calling him svarozhich].” In the Slavic translation of the Chronicle by John Malala (XII century), Svarog is correlated with the ancient Greek god of fire Hephaestus. It is also indicated here that Svarog is the father of Dazhbog, the deity of the Sun. Modern researchers believe that deeply revered by the Eastern Slavs, as evidenced by written sources, Svarog (Svarozhich) in the times of Ancient Rus' was, rather, not a fully formed deity, but rather the personification of the natural element of fire. It is no coincidence that he did not enter the pantheon of higher gods created by Prince Vladimir. At the same time, the cult of fire as one of the forces of nature continues to be preserved in folk tradition to this day.

If we draw analogies with the gods of Greece, then a similar god here is Hephaestus - the god of blacksmithing and marriage, as well as Uranus - the personification of the sky, the spouse of the Earth. In ancient Roman paganism, an analogue of Svarog could be Jupiter - the god of the sky, the supreme god of the Romans, as well as Vulcan - the god of fire and blacksmithing. During the establishment of dual faith in Rus', Kuzma-Demyan took over the role of Svarog. Kuzma and Demyan are Christian saints, healers, miracle workers, who in popular belief merged into one divine character, and adopted many of the traits of Svarog. This most likely happened due to the similarity of the name of one of the saints - Kuzma, which is very similar to the word “blacksmith”.

Among the Baltic Slavs, Svarog is called Radogost, in Slovakia and the Czech Republic - Rarog. There is a well-known sanctuary of Svarog in the Polish settlement of Radogost. Once upon a time, on the highest peak of the Caucasus, Elbrus, there was also a temple of the Most High, with an Alatyr-altar, and the mountain was called White Mountain, Belina, Bel-Alabyr. There was also a White City, the people who inhabited it were called Belogory. All local toponymy is in one way or another connected with Alatyr, a white stone from which sparks are struck when struck.

Symbols and amulets of God Svarog

Several symbols and amulets of God Svarog are known:

Konegon,
a sign called “Svarog Square”, “Svarog Forge”, “Svarog Cross”, “Svarog Star”,
Svarozhich,
Svarga,
Hammer of Svarog

“Symbol of Svarog” – Konegon

The symbol of Svarog is a swastika sign, in the center of which is not a dot, but a square-diamond. The sign has right angles, the ends of the rays are bent with salt and their continuation at the opposite end, which has no restrictions. If you look closely, the sign is made up of four schematic figures that resemble a simple plow. The power of the sign of Svarog is endless, has no limitation, no end, it extends to all four sides. This suggests that Svarog is still creating today. The name known in the north is “Konegon” or “Konegon”. More information about what this amulet gives and what it protects from is in the article “The sign is the symbol of Svarog: an action for whom it is suitable”

“Star of Svarog” (“Svarog Square”, “Svarog Forge”, “Svarog Cross”)

The symbol called the “Star of Svarog” or “Square of Svarog” is another sign of God that is often used by the Slavs. Sometimes this symbol is called the “Star of Rus'”, which is not entirely correct - this is the name of the symbol related to the Goddess Lada. The shape of the image is an outer square, an inner rhombus, intertwined with ellipses with pointed ends. The symbol is very similar to the Lada Star, but is only included in a square and the protruding ends of the ellipses are not rounded. The power of the square has great potential for creative power and strength.

Day of God Svarog

In the northern tradition of the Slavic peoples, there are no known holidays specifically dedicated to God Svarog. He is honored at holidays along with the other Gods. After all, He is the supreme deity of the Slavs, present in every phenomenon. However, in the customs of today's Rodnovers, November 14 is dedicated to Svarog. At this time they like to light fires and wash themselves with clean water - these two elements were revered in honor of God. Glorifications are held in his honor, his glorious military exploits and commandments are remembered.

Svarog is the supreme god (the first incarnation of the Family) in Slavic mythology who created the earth.The creator of the first sushi, according to legend, he found the alatyr stone with which he foamed the sea and created land. With the help of a hammer blow on a stone he created Svarozhichi.

WITH it is read that it was Svarog who created the two main circles of movement (terrestrial and cosmic) which were called the “circle of times.” This calculation of years is based on the movement of the sun, where on each day of the annual cycle the sun occupies a certain position. The movement of the sun was monitored by wise men and priests. Based on the location of the heavenly sanctuary, the decision was made on the start of planting and the time of harvest.

Svarog is the creator of the earth and the progenitor of the first Gods

Holidays dedicated to different gods were also determined by the movement of the sun.

Svarog: place in Slavic pantheon

Among the Slavs, God Svarog occupied an important place in the pantheon, or rather on the right hand of the great Family. The importance of the lord of heavenly fire among the Slavs is also indicated by the name of the heavenly passage of St. curdshiscircleA, according to it the calculation of years was carried out.

The Chur of God occupied an important place in the pantheon; an anvil and a hammer were depicted nearby. A living fire was always maintained next to the idol of the god of fire.

Day of Honor

There is no specific date for the veneration of the supreme god. He is remembered when honoring other gods as the creator of the whole world.

According to some legends, the day of Svarog among the northern peoples occurs three times a year. On the day of Svarog, people burned bonfires, brought bloodless food to God, and held competitions.

On the day of Svarog, men organized games where they showed their prowess and strength. Mature men took part in the fun. After the competition was over, they danced around the fire and sang songs glorifying Svarog and his deeds.

Information that has survived to this day about Svarog is listed in the following sources:

book of Veles;

the tale of bygone years;

book of Kolyada;

various birch bark scrolls.

Many references to the god Svarog have been preserved in folk epics (fairy tales, songs, legends).

Svarog is the god of heaven among the pagan Slavs, the father of all things. Many call him the father of such important, significant and revered gods as Dazhdbog - Radegast, Semargl. Svarog is the God of fire and the fiery element, his power and energy come from heavenly fire and the celestial sphere. Svarog personifies the radiant sun - a constant, significant and vital phenomenon for human existence. It was Svarog who once gave the ancient people who believed in him and revered him tools for blacksmithing. He taught them to process copper and iron and make durable agricultural tools from them. God Svarog is the same as Hephaestus among the Ancient Greeks.

Svarog - God of light and fire

God, having a common Slavic meaning. Svarog God of light and everything that glows and burns. The Slavic root “svar” means something burning, shining. Until now, in many northern regions, the word “var” in the local dialect means heat, burning. Or such a colloquial word to bungle, meaning to make or create something special, was once very common. It is derived from the name of the god Svarog, who, according to legend, was the progenitor of the sons of Svarozhich - Perun, Dazhdbog, Semargl - Rarog. Likewise, the ancient Indian word “svarga” is translated as “sky”. Svarog is the God of Heaven, because it was in heaven that both the righteous and the gods lived.

Almost all heavenly gods of the pagan Slavs are of a fiery nature. Maybe this comes from the ancient custom of honoring fire, which the heavens once gave to primitive man and gave the opportunity not to extinguish the emerging life? The cult of fire, as the most powerful natural force, is still preserved in folk tradition. Thanks to divine fire, people were able to process metals and were able to create many useful earthly objects in the image and likeness of heavenly ones - a hammer and tongs, the tool of Svarog - a blacksmith. A chariot, or an earthly cart with wheels, so as to be almost equal with the gods, who do not walk on foot. So that those who revere and worship him could protect their lands, cities and villages from the attacks of cruel invaders, Svarog taught people the art of making weapons. Hence, Svarog is the God of warriors.

Svarog - god of hearth and prosperity

Svarog is an elderly, gray-haired, wise, powerful old man riding through the cold and dark, harsh winter sky. All nature frowned and ruffled up like an old man, even though it was dressed in elegant white snow clothes. All homes are insulated, fires are burning in the hearths, nourishing food is being prepared if there has been a good harvest. By the light of splinters they do their homework - sew, knit, mend or tell fairy tales, sing songs and wait for the birth of the young Horse. He will replace the serious and stately Svarog, and winter holidays and fun will begin.

The pagan Slavs believed that Svarog established justice, order and justice on earth, and also divided people into families. Each man had the right to have one single woman, and a woman could only have one man. Therefore, it is true to say that Svarog established marriage in its modern sense, and we, the descendants of the Slavs, should glorify not Hymen, but Svarog. Slavic Svarog - God of Heaven, wisdom, oaths, knowledge, crafts, blacksmithing, patron of marriage and family hearth. Patron of hunters and warriors.

Tradition says that Svarog himself forged the first plow weighing 40 pounds and taught people to plow and sow the land. Therefore, he was revered not only as God the artisan, but also God the farmer.
Although the image of Svarog is absent among other Slavic idols that were installed in 980 on the Kiev hill, this indicates that during the times of Ancient Rus', Svarog was not a fully formed deity, but personified the natural element of fire.

The sounds are pleasant to Svarog - since he is the first patron of crafts and all skilled people - the blows of hammers, the clanking of chains and the howling of fire. Requirements are brought to Svarog either with cheese (syrniki) or cottage cheese. The word “cottage cheese” means created, it has the same root as the name Svarog, and is a symbol of heavenly bread. The role of the idol of Svarog can be played by a huge stone on which symbols of fire are inscribed.
The day of its celebration falls on November 14 - Svarozhka (the day of Kuzma and Demyan). They honor both father and son - Svarozhich-Fire.

GOD ROD personification of the multitude of all the Light Gods and our many-wise Ancestors. The Supreme God Rod is One and Multiple at the same time.

When we talk about all the Ancient Gods and our Great and Wise Ancestors: Ancestors, Great-Grandfathers, Grandfathers and Fathers, we say - this is my family.

We turn to him when the Spiritual and Mental support of the Light Gods and Ancestors is needed, for our Gods are our Fathers, and we are their children.

The Supreme God Rod is the eternal symbol of consanguinity, the embodiment of the indestructibility of all Slavic Clans and Tribes, their constant interaction and mutual assistance to each other.

When a person from the Great Race or a descendant of the Heavenly Clan is born on Midgard-Earth, his future fate is recorded in the Santia or Haratiya of the God of the Clan, also called the Book of the Clan.

Therefore, in all the Rods they say: “No one can escape what is written in the Rod!” or “What is written with a pen in the Haratya of God of the Family cannot be cut down with an ax.”

The Supreme God Rod is the Patron God of the Palace of Busla (Stork) in the Svarog Circle. This served to create a folk allegorical Image that Busel (Stork) from Svarga the Most Pure brings children to prolong our Slavic Clans.

GOD SVAROG Supreme Heavenly God, who controls the course of our Life and the entire World Order of the Universe in the Explicit World.

The Great God Svarog is the Father for many ancient Light Gods and Goddesses, therefore we, the Slavs, call them all Svarozhich, i.e. Children of God Svarog.

God Svarog, as a loving Father, cares not only about his Heavenly children and grandchildren, but also about people from all Clans of the Great Race, who are the descendants of the Ancient Svarozhichi, the Light Heavenly Gods on Midgard-Earth.

But our Great and wise Ancestors, in addition to the Children and Grandsons of the Supreme God Svarog, also called the Heavenly Luminaries - the Suns and Stars *, as well as any Celestial body that appeared in the Sky and sometimes fell from Heaven to Earth (meteorites, fireballs, etc.) d.).

The Supreme God Svarog loves living Nature very much and takes care of various plants and the most beautiful, rare flowers.

God Svarog Guardian and Patron of the Heavenly Vyry (Slavic Garden of Eden), planted around the Heavenly Asgard (City of the Gods), in which all kinds of trees, plants and the most beautiful, rare flowers are collected from all the Light Worlds from all the heavenly (i.e., under his control) Universe.

But Svarog cares not only about Heavenly Vyria and Heavenly Asgard, but also cares about the Nature of Midgard-Earth and other similar Light Lands located at the Border between the Light and Dark Worlds, on which He created beautiful Gardens similar to Heavenly Vyriya. The fruitful power of the rays of Yarila the Sun and rain showers sent by Svarog to Midgard-Earth warms and nourishes the flora and fauna of the earthly Garden-Vyria near Asgard of Iria, and also warms and nourishes the flora and fauna of the entire Midgard.

The Supreme God Svarog gives the necessary plant food to birds and animals. He indicated to people what food they needed to grow to feed their Clans and what food they needed to feed tamed birds and animals.

Vyriy Garden adjoins the Heavenly Asgard (City of the Gods), in the center of which are the Majestic Mansions of Svarog.

The Great God Svarog is the permanent Guardian of the Heavenly Palace of the Bear in the Svarog Circle. The Supreme God Svarog established the Heavenly Laws of ascension along the Golden Path of Spiritual Development. All Light Harmonious Worlds follow these laws.

GOD PERUN(Perkunas, Perkon, Perk, Purusha) Patron God of all warriors and many Clans from the Great Race, protector of the Lands and Clans of the Svyatorus (Russians, Belarusians, Semigallians, Glades, Serbs, etc.) from the Dark Forces, Thunder God, ruler Lightning, son of God Svarog and Lada the Mother of God, grandson of God Vyshenya. Patron God of the Hall of the Eagle in the Svarog Circle.

God Perun has already arrived on Midgard-Earth three times to protect it and the Clans of the Great Race from the dark forces of the Pekel World.

Dark forces come from different Halls of the Pekel World in order to lure people from the Clans of the Great Race to their full by deception, flattery and cunning, and if this does not help, then they kidnap people in order to turn them all into obedient slaves in their dark World and not let them opportunities to spiritually develop and move along the Golden Path, as was established by God Svarog.

Dark forces penetrate not only Midgard-Earth, but also other Light Lands in Svarga the Most Pure. And then a battle occurs between the forces of Light and Darkness. Perun already once freed our Ancestors from Pekel’s captivity and blocked the Interworld Gates leading to Hell on Midgard-Earth.

LADA-MOTHER(Mother Sva) Great Heavenly Mother, Mother of God.

Loving and tender Mother of the Most Light Gods of the Great Race, Mother of God-Patroness of all Nations and the Hall of the Elk in the Svarog Circle.

Heavenly Mother of God Lada-Mother is the Goddess of Beauty and Love, who protects the Family Unions of the Clans of the Great Race and the Families of all descendants of the Heavenly Clans.

In order to receive constant care and heartfelt attention from Lada-Mother, each newlywed couple brings the brightest and most fragrant flowers, honey and various forest berries as gifts to the Heavenly Mother of God, and the young spouses bake pancakes with berry filling and honey pancakes for Lada and placed in front of Kummir or Her Image.

The Most High Mother of God Lada always gives young spouses everything they ask for to start a happy life together.

It brings home comfort, friendliness, mutual understanding, love, continuation of the Family, many children, mutual assistance, family life, mutual respect and mutual veneration into people's lives. Therefore, they said about such Unions that only Lad and Love reign in them.

GOD VELES Patron God of cattle breeders and livestock breeders.

Since Veles is the Patron God and Ruler of the Heavenly Palace of the Wolf in the Svarog Circle, which is located next to the Heavenly Boundary separating the worlds of Light and Darkness, the Highest Gods entrusted Veles to be the supreme Guardian of the Heavenly Gates of the Interworld. These Heavenly Gates are located on the Golden Path of Spiritual Development, which leads to Heavenly Asgard, as well as to Heavenly Vyry and to the Bright Halls of Volhalla.

God Veles always personifies comprehensive care, painstaking creative diligence, honesty and determination, perseverance, constancy and masterly wisdom, the ability to be responsible for all one’s actions, spoken words and committed deeds.

God Veles, guarding the Heavenly Gates of the Interworld, allows only the Most Pure Souls into Svarga

those deceased who did not spare their lives in defense of their Clans, in defense of the lands of their Fathers and Grandfathers, in defense of the ancient faith, who worked diligently and creatively for the prosperity of their families and who from the bottom of their hearts fulfilled the Two Great Principles: To sacredly honor their Gods and Ancestors and living according to conscience in harmony with Mother Nature.

VIRGIN MAKOSH Heavenly (Sva) Mother of God, Just Goddess of a happy lot and Fate.

Together with his daughters, Dolya and Nedolya, he determines the Fates of the Heavenly Gods, as well as the fates of all people from the Great Race and all descendants of the Heavenly Family living on our Midgard-Earth and on all other beautiful Lands of the Most Pure Svarga, weaving for each of them the Threads of Fate .

Therefore, many people turned to Goddess Makosha, so that she would trust her youngest daughter, Goddess Dole, to weave the Thread of Fate into a ball. Goddess Makosh at all times was a very attentive and caring Patroness of weaving and all kinds of handicrafts, and also made sure that a good harvest grew in the fields where the orachi (peasants) put their Soul into their hard work.

It should be remembered that the great Heavenly Goddess Makosh is not only the Patron Goddess of growth and fertility, as many might think, but a Goddess who gives hardworking and diligent people a good harvest.

For hardworking people, the Goddess Makosh is the giver of all sorts of blessings, therefore, on the Images and Kummiras of the Goddess Makosh, she was very often depicted with the Horn of Plenty or its symbolic image in the form of a Heavenly Ladle of Seven Stars (the Constellation Ursa Major).

To those Clans from the Great Race and to all the descendants of the Heavenly Clans who were not lazy, but worked in the fields, gardens and vegetable gardens by the sweat of their brow, putting their Soul into their hard work, the Goddess Makosh sent her youngest daughter - the blond Goddess Share.

Those same people who worked poorly and carelessly in their fields (no matter what Family they were from) received a bad harvest. Therefore, people said that “Makosh Dolya came from Makosh to measure the harvest” or “Makosh sent Nedolya to measure the harvest.”

For hardworking people, the Goddess Makosh is the giver of all sorts of blessings, therefore, on the Images and Kummiras of the Goddess Mokosh, she was very often depicted with the Horn of Plenty or its symbolic image in the form of a Heavenly Ladle of Seven Stars.

Orthodox Old Believers-Ynglings, invariably following all the instructions of the Goddess Mokosh, strive for a calm and measured life, for the ancient traditional way of life, for sensual empathy and hard work.

Goddess Makosh rules the Hall of the Heavenly Swan in the Svarog Circle. Therefore, the Goddess Makosh is very often depicted as a White Swan, floating along the endless Sea-Ocean, i.e. in the sky.

In honor of the Wise Heavenly Mother of God, the Slavs and Aryans erected the Great Kummirni and Temples, for the Goddess Makosh personified not only fate, luck, prosperity in the Slavic Clans, observing the laws and commandments of the Ancient Light Gods, people also turned to her with a request to increase their Ancient Clans, t .e. asked for more children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

DAZHDBOG God Tarkh Perunovich, Guardian God of ancient Great Wisdom.

He was called Dazhdbog (the giving God) for giving the people of the Great Race and the descendants of the Heavenly Family Nine Santiy (Books).

These Santias, written down by ancient Runes, contain the Sacred Ancient Vedas, the Commandments of Tarkh Perunovich and his instructions. There are various Kummirs and Images depicting God Tarkh.

In many Images he holds a gaitan in his hand.

Tarkh is very often called the many-wise son of God Perun, the grandson of God Svarog, the great-grandson of God Vyshen, which is true.

Dazhdbog is the giver of all blessings, happiness and prosperity. Tarkh Dazhdbog was glorified in sacred and folk songs and hymns not only for the happy and worthy life of the Clans of the Great Race, but also for deliverance from the forces of the Dark World. Tarkh did not allow the victory of the dark forces from the Pekel World, which were gathered by the Koschei on the nearest Lupa - Lele, in order to capture Midgard-Earth.

Tarkh Dazhdbog destroyed the Moon along with all the dark forces that were on it. This is reported in the “Santia Vedas of Perun. First Circle”: “You have been living peacefully on Midgard since ancient times, when the world was established... Remembering from the Vedas about the deeds of Dazhdbog, how he destroyed the strongholds of the Koshchei, who were on the nearest Moon... Tarkh did not allow the insidious Koschei to destroy Midgard, as they destroyed Deya... These Koschei, the rulers of the Grays, perished along with the Moon in half... But Midgard paid for freedom, Daariya hidden by the Great Flood... The waters of the Moon created that Flood on the Earth They fell from Heaven like a rainbow, for the Moon split into pieces and an army of Svarozhiches descended to Midgard" (Santiya 9, shlokas 11-12). In memory of this event, a kind of ritual with a deep meaning appeared (This ritual is well known to everyone. On Paskhet (Easter) painted eggs hit each other, checking whose egg is stronger. The broken egg was called the Egg of the Koshcheev, i.e. the destroyed Moon ( Lelei), and the whole egg was called - the Power of Tarkh Dazhdbog.), performed by all Orthodox people every Summer, on the great spring Slavic holiday - Paskhet.

Very often in various ancient Vedic texts, Tarkha Perunovich is asked to help people from the Clans of the Great Race by his beautiful sister, the golden-haired Goddess Tara. Together they performed good deeds and helped people settle in the vast expanses of Midgard-Earth. God Tarkh indicated the best place to place a settlement and build a Temple or Sanctuary, and his sister, Goddess Tara, told people from the Great Race which trees should be used for construction. In addition, she trained people to plant new forests in place of felled trees, so that new trees needed for construction would grow for their descendants.

Dazhdbog Tarkh Perunovich is the Patron God of the Palace of the Race in the Svarozh Circle.

GOD KUPALA(Kupalo) God, who gives a person the opportunity to perform all sorts of Ablutions and conducts Rituals of Cleansing the Body, Soul and Spirit from various ailments and diseases. God who guides you to a joyful and happy life.

Kupala is a cheerful and beautiful God, dressing in light white robes decorated with flowers. On the head of God Kupala there is a wreath of beautiful flowers.

Kupala was revered as the God of the warm time of Summer, wild flowers and wild fruits.

Many Slavic Clans engaged in field farming revered God Kupala along with the Goddess Makosh and Goddess Tara, as well as the Gods Perun and Veles.

Before the start of the harvest and the collection of field fruits, a holiday was celebrated in honor of God Kupala, at which bloodless sacrifices were made to God Kupala, as well as to all the Ancient Gods and Ancestors.

On the holiday, the Slavs throw their bloodless sacrifices and prayers into the fire of the Holy Altar, so that everything sacrificed appears on the festive tables of the Gods and Ancestors.

After making bloodless sacrifices from the living fire of the Sacred Altar, the Communists light candles and firelights, which they fasten on wreaths and rafts and send them down the rivers.

At the same time, Orthodox Christians from various Communities say their innermost desire or request for deliverance from illnesses, all kinds of failures, various problems, etc., on a candle or fire candle. This ritual can be explained as follows. A burning candle or firelight illuminates the request or desire of the Communities, the water of the river remembers them and, evaporating, rises to Heaven, conveying to the Gods all the requests and desires of the Orthodox.

At the holiday, each of the Orthodox must undergo complete cleansing in order to begin gathering the fruits of the field and the beginning of the field harvest, fully cleansed. The complete cleansing of the Orthodox consists of three parts:

First cleansing (Body cleansing). Everyone present at the holiday on God's Day Kupala must wash their body in sacred waters (rivers, lakes, reservoirs, etc.) to wash away fatigue and dirt.
Second cleansing (Cleansing of the Soul). In order for those present at the holiday on the Day of God Kupala to purify their Soul, large bonfires are lit, and everyone jumps over these bonfires, for Fire burns away all ailments and cleanses the aura and Soul of a person.
Third cleansing (Purification of the Spirit). Each Community member present at the holiday on God's Day Kupala, as well as those who wish, can cleanse and strengthen their Spirit. To do this, a Circle of Fire is created from the burning coals of a large fire, along which Slavs from various Tribal Slavic Communities walk barefoot. Those who wish to walk through the coals for the first time in order to cleanse and strengthen their Spirit are led by the Community by the hand through the Circle of Fire.

This holiday is inextricably linked with another ancient event. In ancient times, God Perun freed his sisters from captivity in the Caucasus and sent them to cleanse themselves in the waters of the Holy Iriya (Irtysh) and in the Smetannoe Clean Lake (Zaisan Island). This event is also narrated in the fifth ball of Songs of the Bird Gamayun.

Due to the fact that Kupala is the Patron God of the Heavenly Palace of the Horse in the Svarog Circle, on this day it is customary to bathe horses, braid multi-colored ribbons into their manes and decorate them with wildflowers.

GOD KOLYADA The Supreme God, who controls the Great Changes in the life of the Clans of the Great Race and the descendants of the Heavenly Clans.

In ancient times, the Supreme God Kolyada gave many Clans who moved to the western lands a system of calculating seasonal time for conducting field work - the Calendar (Kolyada's gift), as well as his Wise Vedas, commandments and instructions.

Kolyada is the Patron God of military men and Priests. Kolyada was often depicted with a sword in her hand, with the blade of the sword facing downwards.

A sword facing downward in ancient times meant the preservation of the Wisdom of the Gods and Ancestors, as well as unshakable adherence to the Heavenly Laws, as established by God Svarog for all the Halls of the Svarog Circle.

The holiday in honor of God Kolyada falls on the day of the winter solstice; this holiday is also called Menari, i.e. Day of Change. On the holiday, groups of men dressed in the skins of various animals (mummers), who were called Kolyada squads, walked around the courtyards. They sang hymns glorifying Kolyada and organized special round dances around sick people to heal them.
