Below is the meaning, description, and interpretation of Slavic runes.
Key words: Belbog; inner self; Tree of the World
The Mir rune is a symbol of Belobog, one of the most complex images in Slavic mythology. In the German Futhark, this rune is called Madr or Mannaz - Man. Also in the Germanic Futhark, this rune means life. In the older Futhark, this rune has a different meaning (Algiz), although in some ways these runes are similar in spirit.
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.
Also, the second meaning of the word “world” in Slavic languages is community, society, Rod.
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.
Key words: Shadow; Hassle; Inverted World Tree
Rune of Chernobog - a deity who forms a dual pair with Belbog. If the World rune represents the forces striving for the World to be whole, then the Chernobog rune connects us with the forces leading the World to destruction. It would be absurd to consider Belbog as “good” and Chernobog as “evil”.
The image of Chernobog represents the Jester God and the Clown God, eternally fighting with the Guardian of Order and eternally violating the boundaries determined by the gods of Order. In relation to a person, the Chernobog rune represents the Shadow. Jung very well described the essence of this god: the archetype of the unconscious, which 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. In the Germanic rune, this rune means death.
Keywords: Basics, beginnings; Greatness; World Mountain;
Rune Alatyr - rune of the beginning of the Universe; the rune of the beginning and end of everything. 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. 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.
Keywords: Road; Joy
As in the Scandinavian Futhark, this is the rune of the Road. This is an 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; this is a state of movement between Order and Chaos, a state of transition. This 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”.
Keywords: Inevitability; Fate.
Rune of Veles in the image of Viy (Niya) - the god of Navi, the Lower World. This is the rune of fate, which 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 series, this rune corresponds to the Naud rune, whose name also means “Need.”
Keywords: Fire; Verb; Embodiment; Is it true
The Slavic word "krada" 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.
Keywords: Firmness of Spirit; Warrior; Victim
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.
Keywords: Force; Knowledge; Integrity
Strength is the asset of a Warrior. Strength in the Nordic Tradition is not only the ability to change the World and oneself in it, but also the ability to follow the Road, freedom from the shackles of consciousness. And, since only the garbage of consciousness fragments both the World and consciousness itself in human perception, the rune of Power is at the same time the rune of unity, integrity, the achievement of which is one of the results of movement along the Road. And this is also the rune of Victory, for the Warrior of the Spirit gains Power only by defeating himself, only by being able to break the shackles of consciousness, only by sacrificing his outer self for the sake of freeing his inner self, his true divine Self.
The magical meaning of this rune is directly related to its definitions as the rune of victory, the rune of power and the rune of integrity. The Rune of Strength can direct a person or situation towards Victory and gaining integrity, it can help clarify an unclear situation and push towards the right decision.
In the German runic ranks, the rune of Strength corresponds to the rune Zig (Soul) of the Elder Futhark.
Keywords: Vertex; 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, Wind is a stable image of the 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 Power 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 the 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...
Keywords: 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 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 associated with the upper energy centers of man, then Beregini’s power is with the lower ones...
Only partly the meaning of the Beregini rune is conveyed by the German Berkana rune.
Keywords: Yar; Love; Youth; Fire; Yarovit
The Slavic word "ud", which generally means "limb, member", in a sacred context acquires the specific meaning of phallus. In all branches of the Indo-European Tradition, without exception, the symbol of the male member, lingam, is associated with the fertile creative force that transforms Chaos. This the 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.
Keywords: Love; Water; Attraction; Lelya
The goddess of this rune, Lelya, was revered by the Slavs as the daughter of the Great Mother. Her name 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.
Keywords: 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 - Tsrlög, 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 a predestination, it’s simply All-That-Is...
During fortune telling, the fallen rune of Doom 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.
Keywords: 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 shaman’s 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.
Keywords: 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.
Keywords: Coating; Power
Rune of Perun - the Nordic god of thunder, protecting the worlds of gods and people and preserving Truth and Order from the onset 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.
Keywords: Nature; Life; Movement
The 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.
Keywords: 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.
Unfortunately, due to the persecution of pagan culture after the baptism of Rus', Slavic runes, meaning, description and their interpretation (including date of birth) were lost. However, in 2001, Anton Platov’s book was published, in which he talks about runes and how to interpret them.
He himself claims that the book is not the ultimate truth, but Platov did a lot of work on studying both the history of the Slavs and the heritage left by the pagans in the form of artifacts.
In addition, unlike the Slavic ones, the Scandinavian (North Germanic), or also known as FUTARK, runes are perfectly preserved.
They are largely consonant and their interpretation in some places coincides.
Belobog, or the rune of the inner Self. The World, the Tree of Peace, also has meaning.
It speaks about human essence, about what is hidden in a particular person, his inner strength.
The desire for order in everything is also important.
Used as a talisman of human protection by the light gods.

The desire for absolute disorder, chaos. It means the human unconscious, intuition. Can be associated with someone who stands behind the left shoulder and pushes people to do crazy things.
It means a break in patterns, the collapse of the established. Exit from any ordered closed system.
In Futhark, the Hagalaz and Perth runes partially carry the same meanings.
You should not think that the first rune means absolute good, and the second - absolute evil. These are rather two components of the necessary world balance.
Alatyr. Center of the World, mountain on Buyan Island. The place where everything starts.
Altar where sacrifices are made.
In various magical formulas, the Bel-flammable stone Alatyr appears, under which all the world’s Powers are hidden. This is the meaning of this Slavic rune.
There are no even partial analogues of this rune in the Futhark. Only slightly overlaps with Yer.
The road leading to the Alatyr stone. The path that appeared in the struggle of opposites, the mighty Belobog and Chernobog.

In futhark it fully corresponds to the Raido rune.

In a magical sense, this is a complete ban on the continuation of any actions.
There is no such rune in the Futhark, but in other Germanic runic traditions there is Naud with the same meaning.
Means desire, fulfillment of intentions.
Purification of thoughts, finding true desires.
In Futhark it is correlated with Gebo and Kano.
N 
carries the meaning of fortitude and sacrifice. Find the strength to sacrifice something to achieve more. This is how you win at chess: by sacrificing a pawn, you checkmate. But the Treba rune implies the sacrifice of a part of oneself, the abandonment of the dark Self for the sake of the true goal, the victory of the conscious over the unconscious.
In Futhark this is the Teyvaz rune.
As you can see, Slavic runes, meaning, description and their interpretation (date of birth is not considered in this context) very often are a complement and continuation of each other. But the runes of the Elder Futhark are rather individual in their meaning.
The name speaks for itself.
This is the rune of Strength and Knowledge. Determining the path leading to victory.

Similar to the Soul rune.

In Futhark this is the rune of Isa.
Due to the fact that for a long time all pagan traditions were persecuted, the Slavic runes, their meaning, description, interpretation, including in accordance with the date of birth, were lost. Therefore, choosing, for example, a talisman is not so easy. You must first figure out your palace (and there are only 16 of them in the Slavic tradition), then determine your patron from the pagan gods. And only then can you determine which runic symbol is suitable for a talisman.
Interest in the culture and life of our ancestors is only growing. Many people study with great pleasure the traditions of the Drevlyans, Lyutichs and other nationalities.
The Slavs were connected on an energetic level with the nature around them, which helped them live in harmony. This is now in many ways enough for a person.
Symbols are considered one of the features of Slavic culture. They performed an educational function. Slavic runes could provide good protection to the owner.
It is impossible to give an exact conclusion about the period of appearance of the runes; their age is similar to the amulets of the Celts.
The mention of unusual signs dates back to the 10th - 11th centuries when describing the church among the Lutichians. The German and Scandinavian runes are discussed in the works of Thietmar of Merseburg. In Ibn El Nedim one can find a description of ancient writing seen on Slavic burials.
These facts confirm that the most ancient methods of transmitting information.
During archaeological searches they were found on household items. Images of Slavic runes were also found during excavations in the Radegarst temple, which was considered the property of the Baltic Slavs.
The rune cannot be perceived only as a symbol for transmitting important information. They believed in their magical properties, in this sign as a protective talisman. The rune was depicted on stone, kitchen utensils, animals and even on the body.
The territorial neighborhood with the Etruscan and Celtic peoples led to the appearance of writing among the Slavic people. Each rune is sent from heaven, so there was a cult of worship of these symbols.
If you put a runic symbol on a small stone, it will serve as a talisman. When performing burials, tables with inscriptions were used. The messages are encrypted using runes.
After the adoption of Christianity, Slavic runes did not lose their relevance and were still revered by the Slavs.
To protect against witchcraft and the evil eye, the Algiz rune was used. You can enhance its properties by repeating each image multiple times.
Use 18 main runes. Each symbol had a specific interpretation and its characteristic power.
People believed that there were light and dark divine beings. They can either help or negatively influence the lives of each of us.
Signs that bring goodness include:
There was a division of runes into strong and weak. By repeating the sign many times, you can increase its influence several times.
Even with the most detailed study of runes, it is difficult to achieve the mastery characteristic of Slavic sorcerers. Magic was then given great importance, and amulets were used very often.
Used by many. Gold, silver, wood, and embroidery were used to create them.
The runes that brought prosperity, wealth, and mutual understanding to the home were considered the most popular.
The following runes were known:
By borrowing symbols, people received protectors capable of attracting positivity.
The family occupied a leading place. They knew their ancestors and bequeathed this knowledge to their descendants. The energy of nature was used both at the birth of a child and in burial rituals. Like the Chinese, they tried to properly distribute energy, for which runes were used. They charged, acquiring the ability to influence humanity. Signs were used to preserve the family hearth, produce offspring and achieve good family relationships.
Here are a few of them:
The runes are multifaceted, which is why they deserve such human love.
Slavic healers used runes for protection; they cast spells that gave the symbols power. Envy and anger directed at a person can lead to bad consequences, so they used magical help. If the symbols are made correctly, they will neutralize any negativity sent by ill-wishers.
Slavic magicians usually used amulets:
The Slavs have a cult of ancestors. They sincerely believed that their deceased relatives were able to come to the rescue in a difficult situation. By wisely combining signs, you can increase their strength at once. By studying their culture and applying your knowledge, you have a chance to significantly influence your own life.
Nowadays, it is difficult to find a person who can correctly make a prediction using a rune, but ancient magicians succeeded. Such fortune-telling helped to make the right decision in a difficult situation and get answers to questions that arise.
It is quite difficult to interpret amulets, since their meaning changes depending on how the Slavic sign is laid. The sorcerers warned against troubles and warned in advance of impending danger.
To date, the meaning of only a few runes is known:
Interpreting runes is quite difficult. Even the sequence can affect their meaning.
The pagans believed that treasures were under spells, so runes should be used to find them. Special spells and special combinations of symbols led seekers to their goal without harm to themselves.
Tattoos with images of symbols are being made more and more often. You need to treat this with great caution, since in the absence of a clear understanding of the meaning of the amulet and the combination of signs, you can, at best, not get the expected effect, and at worst, bring disaster upon yourself.
They choose a rune for the tattoo whose power they trust and need its magical influence:
Only faith in the power of divine patrons could endow the talisman with magical energy.
People created drawings to decorate the body, believing in protection from otherworldly forces and attracting good luck. Study the meaning of the design before applying it to the skin, then its effectiveness will increase.
It is better to make the amulet yourself. If this is not possible, you can purchase a ready-made talisman. By properly cleaning and charging it, you will get a powerful protector.
Initially, the purchased amulet is washed under running water and then held over the fire of a lit candle. At the next stage of cleansing, you need to put this amulet in salt for a day, and then fumigate it with incense. The four elements will give part of their energy to the talisman.
For energy, contact the deity who is the patron of these symbols. Read the prayer and ask for help and protection.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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 amulets in the form of runes have long been used by people to protect against evil spirits, damage, the evil eye and other negative effects on humans.
In addition, they helped, giving strength and guiding me in the right direction. People made the right decisions, got rid of problems and believed that it was runic amulets that helped them in this. They were depicted on everything:
To use the power of runes to their full potential, you need to decide which symbol is right for you, and for this you need to know the meaning of each of them. Therefore, the topic of today’s article is about what runes are, amulets in the form of runes, their meanings and how to make them with your own hands.
Today there are many guesses about where the runes came from. But there is very little evidence about which of them is true, so we can say that these are only assumptions, and their true origin is still unknown to us.
According to Scandinavian legends, runes were given to people by God Odin, who, in order to understand their meaning, pierced himself with a spear, thereby nailing him to the Yggdrasil tree. So he hung there for nine days, increasing his knowledge and unraveling the meaning of the runes.
It should also be noted what method was used to apply these signs. They were carved on stone, wood or bone using knives or ritual weapons. In addition to the above places of application, runic symbols were made separately for fortune telling.
Runic talismans are a system of signs that were used by the Germanic and Scandinavian peoples for writing. The word “rune” itself is translated as magic, mystery, magic. There is historical information according to which they were used for various magical rituals. Therefore, the meaning of Slavic and Scandinavian runes expands significantly: applied to weapons and ships, they increased their strength significantly.
Our ancient ancestors knew how to use the natural elements for their own purposes. For example, they called for rain when there was a drought, and vice versa, they dispersed clouds when there was excess moisture. For all this, special rituals were carried out, in which they often used runes and their power. That is why the meaning of runes is much greater than written characters.
It is worth noting that they were used not only separately. A combination of several runes was often used at the same time. Thus, their strength increased, and with it the opportunity to get what they planned. At the same time, it cannot be argued that some of them have more strength and energy than others. Each of them is strong in its own way, has its own meaning and is intended for specific purposes.
To receive their power and help, just a photo is not enough; the runes must be made or drawn with your own hands. You can do it on a sheet of paper, but preferably something thick (cardboard). If you have problems, for example, in your intimate life, then such a sheet should be placed, say, under the pillow, so that it is not in sight. But such a runic talisman is designed to solve one specific problem in a short time.
There are 24 runes, and each of them corresponds to a specific human desire. Therefore, you need to carefully study their meanings before choosing any for yourself. Otherwise, it will not come true, and the Gods may be angry with you for such negligence.
It will be much easier to use the power of runes as a talisman. It is enough to decide on your desires and choose one of the runes to fulfill them, depending on its meaning. For example, one common human desire is wealth or financial wealth. The Fehu rune is perfect for this; its main goal is to attract and preserve finances, as well as movable and immovable property.
In addition, it promotes health growth. Used in all runic connections aimed at both. It has a powerful force, so it must be used with caution, especially in combination with other symbols. The most ideal option is a runescript of three Fehus; such a talisman will not overwhelm you with banknotes, but will create many conditions for making money.
The Urus rune will be an excellent talisman for those who need to improve their health. Replenishes loss of health, immunity and vital energy. The image of this rune is the image of a bull, it is similar to its horns, and therefore endows its owner with unbridled energy and strength, which is necessary to realize the opportunities that Fehu provides. You also need to be careful with it so that the energy that Urus gives does not turn against you.
Another frequently used rune is Ansuz. Translated it means “Words of the Gods”, i.e. signs coming to us from above. Endows its owner with wisdom and eloquence, relieves timidity. Helps people discover their speaking and creative abilities. An excellent assistant for presentations and exams. And another property of Ansuz is the creation of a connection between lovers on a telepathic level.
The rune symbolizing light, fire, torch is Kenaz. But this fire does not have destructive power, it is completely controlled and is aimed at maintaining the fuse. It is very suitable for creative people, helping them to create and not lose creative energy. Kenaz is often used to enhance the powers of other runes.
Vunyo is a rune endowed with the most positive energy. Joy, happiness, luck in all areas of life, this is what Vunyo gives to its owner. An excellent assistant in family, love, work and other matters. Can be safely used in all amulets and runescripts. If it fell out during fortune telling, you can relax. This means that the period has come when you will succeed without unnecessary fuss and excitement.
All these talismans can be made with your own hands. So, first you need to choose the material from which the Slavic runic amulet will be made. Our ancient ancestors used leather, wood, stone, paper, and bones for this. Later they began to give preference to silver.
This choice was explained by the fact that it is this metal that heals and acts as an antiseptic. Today there is a lot of jewelry that is made in the form of runic signs. But it’s still better to make it yourself, so it will have much greater power.
Treat it so that there are no small splinters and apply the rune. It can be burned, cut or painted. After which the amulet must be varnished. On stone, it is best to use the option with paint, since carving on stone is more difficult. But many people can do this on metal.
As we wrote above, silver was most often used to create a runic amulet. Such amulets were made mainly for children to protect them from evil spirits and other negative influences. For people who suffered from loss of strength and failure, runes were made from gold.
Each rune has its own color. And the most important condition when creating them: all materials must be natural. As, in fact, is the storage place for amulets: a bag made of natural fabrics. The final stage is the ritual with which you activate the rune. The simplest thing is to hold it in your hand with your eyes closed, thinking about good things and your desire. This ritual is especially necessary if you purchased a talisman from another person.
And remember: do not start making a runic amulet without studying the meaning of each of the runes. This is a very important point, because even if you draw several runes in a row that carry positive energy, together they can have the opposite effect. Author: Natalia Chernikova
