History of the symbol
The first mentions of this symbol can be found in the ancient period in the treatises of Pliny and Aristotle. The prototype was a real-life animal that looked very much like a lizard. The descriptions say that the salamander has the ability to extinguish the flames of fire. Pliny was wary of these facts and considered them a legend invented by witches.
However, there is a completely logical explanation for the appearance of such myths. The skin of this amphibian is cold, and in case of danger it secretes a milky poison. Aristotle developed the legend of the salamander . He described in detail the flying animals that live in fire. Flying out of it, they died.
Saint Augustine later developed the theory that this mysterious creature was born in fire. In this description, the sign entered medieval Europe . Further, the idea was actively developed by alchemy. Science has declared that there are 4 habitats on earth. Since life was found in three of them, it must also be in the fire.
During the Renaissance, there were battles over whether the salamander was a living creature. Some considered it a stone, others - a substance. Leonardo da Vinci insisted that fire was its food.
Attention! On most emblems the salamander is in a ring of fire.
Meaning
Salamander amulet
The salamander is a common element of emblems and is found in heraldry.
On coats of arms, it means courage and bravery, not subject to any adversity of fate. On the coat of arms of Frank I with the motto
“I nourish the good and extinguish the bad”
it meant the patronage of good and the fight against injustice and evil.
In the middle of the 19th century, the Salamandra insurance partnership was established in Russia. The lizard became their emblem, and the motto
“I burn, but I don’t burn out.”
On emblems it is used as a symbol of fire. Like a creature that destroys what will destroy itself. This echoes Christian ideas - confrontation with passions that burn from within. The salamander, surrounded by flames, becomes the personification of morality and innocence. This is associated with the idea of the cleansing power of fire. It can be not only in its literal meaning, but also an allegory of trials and tribulations.
“The fire of misfortune consumes our vice and brings virtue back to life.”
Anyone who has suffered a lot in life and is not broken becomes purer and kinder.
The meaning of the protective amulet
The interpretation of the symbol differs at different times. For Christians in medieval Europe, the salamander was a sign of resistance to temptations, passions and vices. By the existence of the salamander, they proved the legend about 3 youths who managed to escape in the oven.
The salamander was considered a sexless creature, and therefore became the personification of innocence for both men and women .
Later, the church began to perceive this image with caution. Black sorcerers and sorcerers began to use it more and more often.
Alchemists believed that the animal symbolizes a powerful fiery force that destroys everything in its path.
The magical sign is found on many royal palaces and coats of arms of noble families. It became a symbol of courage, boldness and fearlessness, because even fire could not kill the animal. The salamander began to be considered a protector from evil forces and negativity. People began to believe that she was sent by God to protect the fiery environment.
Reference! In the east, doctors used parts of the animal to treat suppurations and skin diseases. They were of the opinion that the salamander extinguishes fire with its body.
How to properly cleanse a talisman from negative energy
If you find out that the talisman is right for you, then you need to know the rules for cleaning it from negative energy. Every time you encounter temptations that stop you on the path to success, you encounter dangers, difficulties - the amulet works like a powerful fighting machine, facing trouble head on. But in this way it becomes polluted. It is necessary to clean it from time to time using fire and salt.

- Place an even number of red candles around.
- Say:
“Where they put you, there is no black power, no evil intent, no bad word. Salt will take away the blackness, the grass will unfurl evil, the color will open up evil words, no one will know, no one will pass, no one will wither, no one will die. Three times three turn, three times three turn, three times three turn.”
Leave the systems in this state until the spark plugs burn out. Let the talisman lie in salt until the morning. This procedure must be done at least once every six months. You yourself will feel that the time has come, because the owner and his talisman are developing a powerful connection.

The Secret of the Fire Salamander
Good day everyone. I want to publish today a tale about a fire salamander, recorded by Ivan Kurganov. But first let me give you a little introduction from myself. Various references to fiery creatures that do not burn in fire circulated in ancient times, until with the adoption of Christianity in Rus' the church decided to give them a bad reputation, which still does not tell us about their true essence, but only adds to the mystery. Among geologists there are also stories about similar creatures. They usually don't like to tell them to others, lest their colleagues be considered crazy. Before perestroika, such talk could have resulted in you losing your job or getting a reputation as a storyteller. So everything was kept within a narrow circle of friends. Over time, the ban fell by itself and some incidents were even published in scientific journals. One of these stories told of a meeting in a deep crevice with a fiery creature that resembled a man and was trying to somehow communicate with the geologist. When he came to his senses, the creature had already disappeared; it seemed that it could not stay longer than a certain time. So think about whether to tell anyone about this or not... But there is a mention in ancient books that the Earth is hollow inside, that its core is the inner sun of the Earth, and that its own, incomprehensible life boils in its depths...
THE SECRET OF THE FIRE SALAMANDER
Slavka inherited the stone lizard from his grandfather. Makar Aronovich Kapitonov, whom his loved ones familiarly called Makaronych, was once a dashing guy. Like the legendary Red Army soldier Sukhov from the film “White Sun of the Desert,” grandfather Makar went through the Turkestan front, fought with the Basmachi, and liberated the peoples of the East from Bai oppression. As a souvenir of his dashing youth, he was left with a faded tunic, neatly mended in two places where it and its owner were pierced by enemy bullets, a personalized revolver received from the hands of “Comrade Frunze himself,” and a figurine of a lizard made of translucent reddish stone.
The grandfather treasured this lizard most of all, calling it his talisman. According to Makaronych, he found her in a cave in the mountains of Tajikistan in the Kuhi Malik tract, where he and the soldiers once settled down for the night. Since then, Red Army soldier Makar Kapitonov has never parted with the elegant trinket.
The thing was really curious and obviously cost a lot of money. The ancient master, and the figurine was certainly ancient (albeit in excellent preservation), processed the stone so carefully that the lizard came out as if alive.
It was small—about twenty centimeters long—it looked like it was sleeping, curled up in a ring. The slightly open mouth, full of small but sharp teeth, seemed about to grab onto the transparent scaly tail...
The grandfather claimed that the lizard saved his life twice. During the first wound, in order to somehow cool the inflamed wound, he applied a cool polished figurine to it. The excruciating pain began to melt and soon stopped completely. And after a few days, the bullet hole healed, leaving a barely noticeable scar. For the second time, a Basmachi bullet pierced through the Red Army soldier Kapitonov, passing a few millimeters from the heart.
There was a battle going on, a small detachment of Red Army soldiers was surrounded by Shamil’s gang, and there was no doctor in it to help the wounded. Losing consciousness, Makar asked his comrades to bandage a stone lizard to his broken chest... Only three days later did help arrive. And the doctor then shook his head for a long time and in bewilderment: according to all his medical theories, the wounded soldier should have died three days ago... However, Makar survived, and waved his saber for a long time on a variety of fronts...
Slavka both believed and did not believe the old grandfather’s stories. But one day, when my daughter had a severe cold and her temperature rose to forty, and the ambulance still wasn’t coming, I took my grandfather’s amulet from the sideboard shelf and put it on the girl’s chest.
When the confused doctors finally showed up, the baby’s temperature was almost normal, and she was fast asleep, smiling in her sleep.
Since then, the stone lizard has haunted Slavka. Having set himself the task of unraveling its secret, he buried himself in reference books and encyclopedias and soon told me that he understood the secret of healing.
The figurine, in his opinion, was most likely carved from a single piece of carnelian. Boys, finding pieces of this very hard translucent stone of yellow, red, amber colors on sandy beaches, call them “kremushki”. I remember how, as a child, I myself could not pass by these pebbles caressing my hands, looking with curiosity at the incredible patterns and veins shining through inside them.
But my friend was upset. The mystery of the fairy tale was trampled upon by the prose of perhaps little-known, but nevertheless not at all mysterious facts. It turns out that the healing properties of carnelian have been known for a long time. Even the Egyptian priests considered this stone extremely useful. In ancient Armenia it was used during difficult childbirths - women in labor were placed on carnelian pebbles. Carnelian was bandaged to wounds or bruises so that they would heal faster. They treated nervous diseases and fever, relieved stomach cramps and strengthened teeth...
Slavka even unearthed information about the experiments of Evgenia Ivanovna Badigina, completely forgotten today...
In 1935, this woman, a very famous doctor in her circles, discovered the wonderful properties of carnelian. She also came up with the technology for its use. Strengthening the stone at the outlet of an ordinary hair dryer, she blew it on purulent wounds, obtaining an amazing effect. Experiments were carried out in military hospitals and regular hospitals with consistent success. Badigina promised to achieve, using the amazing properties of carnelian, almost eternal youth and health for everyone living on Earth. But... Stalin's Gulag swallowed up the dreamer along with her discovery.
A year has passed. I forgot to think about the mysterious lizard. Yes, and Slava cooled down to his carnelian treasure. But, as it turned out, the biggest surprise lay ahead. While sorting through the family archive, he came across an interesting photograph. Young Makaronych, smiling with a still black “Budenov” mustache, looked straight into the lens like a falcon, leaning on the back of a chair with one hand, and holding a lizard figurine in front of him in the palm of the other.
Probably no one except Slava would have noticed anything unusual in this old photo. But he, who spent hours looking at his grandfather’s carnelian talisman, immediately saw that this was not the same figurine!
Having placed the photograph and the lizard next to each other, we compared them for a long time.
Of course, the figure in the photo was very similar to the stone lizard that Slavka got. She, too, like ours, was twisted into a ring. But the half-open mouth did not reach the tip of the tail, and the position of the paws was completely different.
“Grandfather probably had two figures,” I made the only reasonable conclusion.
“I didn’t tell you before,” Slavka objected cautiously, “the fact is that Makaronych, just before his death, told me: “Take care of her, she’s alive!” Then I thought, I thought, the old man was delusional. And now…
Science does not deny the possibility of the existence of organosilicon life!.. After all, carbon, on the basis of which the molecules of our body are built, and silicium (silicon) are very similar in properties. The only temperature at which such life is possible is thousands of degrees. Such conditions are possible deep underground at the level of molten magma or in the craters of active volcanoes, where there are outcrops of hot lava...
In his reasoning, my friend went so far as to call his lizard the legendary fire salamander, a representative of the most ancient life that arose when the planet was still a hot desert.
“She’s really alive,” he suggested. “But she’s very cold, so she wants to curl up into a ball.” It just happens very slowly. Look at the light - these are not just veins, you can see her internal organs...
Of course, I laughed at Slavka. But at home I also looked into reference books.
Everything came together one to one. The cave where, according to Makaronych, he found the lizard figurine, was located in a unique place. The Kuhi Malik tract is located in the famous Ravat Mountains, where underground coal layers have been burning for at least three thousand years. The stones in those places glow with heat, burning your feet even through the thick soles of your shoes.
Kuhi Malik is a paradise for geologists. The edges of cracks leading into fiery dungeons are literally overgrown with bristles of crystals before our eyes. Unique minerals and traces of some unprecedented prehistoric animals were found there...
If anywhere “salamanders” could come to the surface, it would be only in those places. And Slavka literally moved on his idea.
“Now I know why carnelian has healing properties,” he said. “After all, these are fragments of living beings, it is natural that the energy of life emanates from them...”
He brought home an electric muffle furnace and decided to create “normal” living conditions for his salamander. And a few days later a misfortune happened.
Slavka was not at home. And it was not possible to reconstruct the exact picture of the incident. But according to his daughter, everything was like this.
Having listened to her father's stories, she became curious and opened the stove door. At the same instant, a red-hot figurine of a lizard fell out and... ran across the floor, leaving a charred trail behind it. The girl, afraid that a fire might start, grabbed the decanter and threw water out of it onto the floor. Unable to withstand the temperature change, the stone lizard shattered into small fragments...
Perhaps everything was different, and Slavka’s daughter herself scooped the lizard out of the stove with something to see how the “salamander” felt. Well, then, when the floor caught fire from the hot figurine, water was used... And the charred stripe on the parquet floor appeared not because the lizard was running, but because the girl first tried to drag it onto the tiled floor into the bathroom.
Slava was terribly upset. But the worthy grandson of the Red Army soldier Kapitonov, having recovered from his mental wound, he was inspired by another idea and is now organizing an expedition to the Ravat mountains for a fire salamander.
“I have calculated everything,” he told me, “the cave where my grandfather found the salamander was most likely formed as a result of a failure. Cold air quickly penetrated underground and literally froze our lizard. I'm sure I'll find more of the same there..."
Slavka developed a vigorous activity. Having learned from geologists that in the area of the Yagnob River there are several caves into which no one can go down because of the very high temperature inside them, he decided to obtain from the firefighters a special suit in which to extinguish oil fires. In it, he is going to enter a fiery dungeon and find a salamander. Unfortunately, the turbulent political situation in Tajikistan forced him to temporarily postpone the expedition. But he believes that the day will come when his dream can come true...
“They are not just living, but intelligent beings,” says my friend. — There is a civilization underground that is many thousands of years older than humans. And all these “geopathogenic zones”, and fiery UFOs, and all sorts of other miracles - all this is a consequence of the activities of this civilization. And we don’t even suspect what’s happening under our feet...”
Symbol meaning
What did the salamander symbolize in different eras? It was most often used by Christians in the Middle Ages and alchemists. For Christians, it was a sign of resistance to sin and burning passions. In their eyes, she became a confirmation of the Old Testament legend about the three youths who were not burned in the oven. Also, the fire salamander became a symbol of chastity for men and women, as it was considered asexual. In later times, black magicians and sorcerers began to use the sign too often, after which the church began to be wary of it.
What does it look like
Salamander talismans are very easy to wear. They are bought and given as pendants and worn as pendants. The amulet looks very cute as a figurine that can be placed on a table, chest of drawers or bedside table.
