The ancient Slavs believed that they had family ties with deities, and the image of the symbol of the main god only emphasizes this. They prayed to the sacred fire, brought gifts, sang songs of praise, and used it to tell fortunes. He not only gave people his power, but also absorbed all the evil that threatened them. It is believed that the Svarozhich amulet, personifying fire, serves as a kind of bridge connecting all generations of the human race, which has a divine origin.
Heavenly fire represented the essence of Svarog
Ancient sources mention another name for Svarozhich’s amulet - Rodimich. It indicated a family connection and a special power that was passed on from ancestors to descendants. There was also a belief that this amulet could save one from a family curse.
The Slavs considered fire to be the progenitor of all living things, because it was Svarog who forged everything that now exists in his heavenly forge. Our ancestors divided flame into three types:
- A fire started by man himself. It could be obtained by rubbing two pieces of wood or creating sparks by striking stones against each other. People considered such fire to be pure. Producing the flame in these ways was an incredibly difficult task, which explains its sacredness. This fire was most often used in rituals and rites of worship of the gods.
- Fire produced by using flint, matches, lenses and other devices. It was of value only in everyday life. With its help they prepared food, lit and heated their homes.
- A fire lit by lightning during a thunderstorm. Such a flame caused both fear and delight in people. He was worshiped and considered miraculous.
The Svarozhich amulet looks like a bizarre interweaving of lines that form a cross. This symbol, reminiscent of a flower, is a sign of sacred fire, which appeared on Earth only by the will of the great Svarog. This is the embodiment of warmth, light and energy that gives life. Like most Slavic amulets, Svarozhich is enclosed in a circle. This is done in order to close and concentrate the power of the talisman.
