Slavic goddess Makosh
The goddess Makosh is a Slavic deity who does not have a partner, because she cannot spin her own thread, tie a knot of marriage for herself. It is unknown where and how the goddess appeared - she has no relatives. This goddess lives with Dolya and Nedolya. Some consider the sisters to be daughters of the goddess. The elder deity is in charge of human and divine paths and spins them, while the younger ones wind the threads into balls. The one whose thread falls into Dolya's hands will be lucky; the one whose thread falls into Nedola's hands will be unlucky.
Symbols of the goddess Makosh were found on ancient temples; she is mentioned in the Tale of Bygone Years. With the advent of Christianity, the goddess was renamed Paraskeva Friday and continued to be worshiped.
Makosh is the patroness of fate, the eternal spinner, a mystery deity. She holds human and divine destinies in her hands. Some consider her to be related to Veles, although this is unlikely. She is always filled with calm, knows the future and the past, and is ready to give wise advice to everyone. If a person in a difficult situation is ready to fight until victory, it is Makosh who turns fate towards him. She participates in all matters, she can return man and God to the right path, but she does this only if her intervention does not harm anyone.
Makosh protects family happiness. She helps people who pay attention to the big picture, who understand that after a dark streak comes a light one, she is especially good with hardworking, merciful, gentle people who peer into the depths of things. It enhances magical abilities, helps with spindle magic, and gives good dreams to children.

Chir Makoshi
Chir is a drawn symbol, through which a spiritual connection occurs between people and deities. Speaking about Mokosh symbols, we note that there are many of them. A circle in the form of a triangle (top down), square or rhombus is a representation of the female womb.
When you see a symbol associated with the mother goddess, with a dot in the center, so you know, this is a fertile, sown field. The symbol that allows you to establish communication with the deity is the anti-salt swastika. All four bent rays indicate from above the interweaving of human destinies, the cycle, the flow of life - the female shakti spins counterclockwise.
Any of the chirs is used during the ritual. The face is most often applied with chalk or flour to the working conoid.
Myths and beliefs
Slavic myths say that the Mother Goddess, the Destiny Goddess rules the higher beings and the human world, owns the secrets of Kola Svarog, Rule. She monitors the observance of customs and the implementation of laws, and patronizes those who keep traditions. Makosh weaves threads in the upper layers of the heavenly palace, sees the past and the future and knows what a person was like before and what he will become in another life. She waits to follow the path, although she allows everyone to choose between good and evil. He who chooses the second receives divine punishment and is not reborn in human form in his next life.
Myths say that ancient Makosh is a feminine goddess with a changeable nature. Under its influence, a person is sometimes incredibly happy, and at another moment he is faced with great grief. She patronizes strong people who are ready to fight, and helps in case of obstacles. If a person undoubtedly strives for his plans, Makosh gives Sech to help - success and good luck come with her.
If a person gives up, gives up, Makosh sends troubles to his head. Bad things await a person who betrays his chosen path. Old women, harbingers of death, come to him, bringing with them sadness and guiding man’s path to the lands of Krana, darkness and emptiness.
There are legends about Mokosh in the pantheon of Vladimir - the goddess of spinning is mentioned here. Myths tell: she can enter any house where a tow is thrown. To avoid this, you should not leave work unfinished. They believed that the spindle spinning during the mistress’s sleep was an instrument of the goddess who created a person’s destiny.
Slavic myths talk about the influence of deities
Place in the pantheon
The goddess Makosh was held in high esteem by the ancient Slavs. Idols of Makosh were present in all pantheons. Near the chura there was always a well, into which the victims intended for the patroness of fate were thrown. Also, her image was present on all springs and wells.
The idol was carved from a birch tree, usually aspen. The head was always decorated with a kikoy (headdress), and in Mokoshi’s hands a fertility horn, a spinning wheel or ears of corn were depicted. The idol Makosh is the only female idol located in the Slavic pantheons along with other revered gods.
According to Slavic mythology, she was considered the goddess of fate, women's handicrafts, magic and fertility. According to some myths, she had no relatives among the gods. According to other legends, she was the wife of Veles (they had 2 daughters: Dolya and Nedolya). There are legends where the great goddess is the wife of Svarog.
The lower hypostasis is Baba Yaga (guardian of the Navi world and magic).
Bloody sacrifices were not made to the mothers of the gods. When contacting the goddess, they presented items of their own handicraft (balls, spinning wheels, clothes and linens with embroidery), and silver coins.
Origin, symbolism and meaning
There are several symbols associated with Mokosh. None of them can be called the main one. More often the goddess is depicted by schematically drawing the head, arms, and a long skirt hiding her legs. If the deity's arms are raised up, it symbolizes turning to the sun, the beginning of the fertile season, and abundance. If your hands are down, the picture reflects autumn and the harvest, a worthy reward for your work.
Often they draw an ornament of 4 rhombuses, meaning:
- conscience;
- soul;
- matter;
- intangible.
An alternative interpretation is a connection with the elements.
More often, rhombuses and runes are used to design personal amulets, and the image of a goddess is used in embroidery subjects.
Traditionally, mokoshit is a woman's destiny; a talisman with the image of a goddess is recommended for the fair sex. An embroidered image protects the family, brings peace, kindness and love, and helps preserve the best in people. Sometimes amulets dedicated to the goddess are put on children to protect them from darkness and the evil eye. More often recommended to married ladies.

Amulet Veles: who is it suitable for?
If you see the difference between the God Veles and the Goddess Makosh, you must have noticed that the amulets of Veles are more suitable for men, and the signs of Makosh are more suitable for women. This difference is significant, first of all, for the Lay people. Those knowledgeable in the rituals of divination equally turn to God Veles and Goddess Makosh.
Veles's most famous amulet is called the Bull's Head. It resembles an inverted letter "A". This amulet is associated with one of the hypostases of God Veles - the patron of livestock. Other amulets are associated with the werewolf abilities of the God of the Three Worlds - these are the signs of the Bear Paw and Wolf Paw, sometimes they are also called Veles the Summer (in the guise of a bear) and Veles the Winter (in the guise of a wolf). Veles' amulets are especially powerful when made from materials associated with the power of powerful beasts. That is why so many of his signs are carved from bull bone or elk antlers found in the northern forests.
Northern magical amulets of God Veles
There are also other symbols of God Veles. The serpentine is a symbol of Veles, as the patron saint of snakes. Triglav is a sign indicating the ability of the God of Magic to walk between the three worlds. Of course, we also include the chura of God Veles among the northern magical amulets.
Amulet Makosh: who is it suitable for?
The northern magical amulets of the Goddess Makosh can be worn equally by men and women. However, women choose them more often. Apparently, the character of the Goddess Makosh is more understandable to women. And there is one more feature: the women make many of the amulets of the Goddess Makosh themselves. This is women's handicraft that men do not do.
The most famous amulet of the Goddess Makosh is Rodovik. This is the only sign that is found unchanged in magical amulets and amulets of Makosh. This is a swastika pattern, a symbol of the endless circle of life and the rebirth of souls. The rest of the amulets of the Goddess Makosh, one way or another, remind us of the threads of fate that she weaves, and may differ in appearance from each other.
Northern magical amulet of the Goddess Makosh - Rodovik
Sometimes masters symbolically depict on the amulet the very thread of fate that the Goddess Makosh spins. There are no strict rules for depicting this thread, so it looks different every time. Most often, this symbol is recognized by the bends of the thread: it rises and falls, just as joys and sorrows alternate in life. A symbol for addressing the Goddess Makosh can be the alternation of black and white. For example, a black and white stone amulet.
The most powerful amulet of the Goddess Makosh is the one that a woman creates with her own hands. All women's needlework with threads is considered to be addressed to Makosh, the Goddess of Fate. Especially, of course, the yarn on the spindle, because the Goddess Makosh herself spins the thread of each person’s destiny in this way.
The spindle can be large and working. Then it would be nice for the little woman not only to use it in magical rituals, but also to be able to weave a thread on such a spindle herself. It could also be a small spindle, a horse - that’s what the magic amulet was called in the North. Such a spindle is used only for rituals and is used to cast a spell for good or to banish evil.

Another symbol addressed to the Goddess Makosh is protective embroidery. For this embroidery, three traditional thread colors are used: red, white and black. Any protective embroidery is considered to be addressed to the Goddess Makosh, but there are also separate signs dedicated to her. Among them are Rodovik, and the “Makosh thread” - a continuous wavy thread, and there are other signs. It is especially good when such embroidery is accompanied by spells that help to put the aspirations of the craftswoman into the pattern.
Do you think it is difficult to master protective needlework? Among the patterns there are also simple ones, and over time the ability to embroider the signs of the Native Gods comes to everyone who wants to learn it.
We hope that now you see the difference between the amulets of God Veles and the Goddess Makosh, and understand which of them you should turn to. Remember that the Native Gods help everyone, men and women alike, Laymen and Knowledgeable, but it is still better to ask the God who can help you most about your business.
For good!

Alphabet of Slavic runes: the power of the Native language
Slavic runes as the alphabet of the Gods and the most ancient way of communicating with them and with each other have not caused disputes among historians and experts in the Russian Veda for a long time. Moreover: to our great joy and the general Strength of the People, the Native Memory is being revived every day, and the language of the Ancestors is being learned by the Brothers and Descendants with the same great pleasure and interest as modern foreign languages.
As before, amulets with deep meaning and enormous power are created from Slavic runes. Our masters present numerous works on the pages of this portal, in which each Slavic rune from the alphabet is compiled into a meaningful word or phrase, and carries a certain message and charge. Many of the alphabet approved today in the 18 main Slavic runes are translated in the form of Cyrillic letters, and the most powerful of them bear the name of the Native Gods: Perun, Chernobog, Dazhdbog and Lelya.
But at the very beginning of their acquaintance with the alphabet of Slavic runes, forgotten for centuries, many people experience fear and confusion - how to translate this or that symbol, how to interpret the ligature and how it works in amulets and talismans?
Zarenitsa will try to answer all your questions and will try to tell you simply and clearly about the Slavic runes so that you hear the main thing and can learn to use their Power.
Amulet options and manufacturing methods
To receive Mokosh’s blessing, they wear body amulets with her symbols, draw and embroider thematic ornaments. The best option is chosen based on personal feelings. A talisman is needed that evokes an internal response, a feeling of closeness and spiritual connection.
Rune
Runic symbols are carved from wood. They are usually called Beregins, maternal and earthly runes. The direct rune completely coincides in meaning with the main symbol of the goddess. Reversed is associated with an unsuccessful outcome of a business, a lean year, large investments of labor without a decent result.
Runes are easy to draw, so such amulets are available to everyone. Their creation takes a minimum of time. All you need to do is draw the pattern on a piece of paper and keep it with you. Having decided to wear the runic symbol permanently, they carve it on a wooden pendant.

Symbol
The ornament dedicated to the Spinner is recommended for girls. There are no restrictions on wearing - you can use the symbol to decorate clothes or as a tattoo. The face of the goddess is used to decorate household items and body jewelry. For men, such a talisman is an assistant in work. In general, it is rather undesirable because it affects character.
Doll
The image of the goddess in the form of an embroidered doll is a powerful amulet for the home. To fill it with energy, the product is decorated in a traditional style and dressed in embroidered clothes. Such dolls are often created by experienced needlewomen. In former times they were called motankas. The peculiarity of talismans is the absence of a face. Mystical objects protected the house from harm, made people happy, rich and healthy.
The protective doll has the powers of the Spinner. In order for her to manifest them, symbols of the goddess are embroidered.

Embroidery, which depicts the symbolism of the strongest Slavic goddess, can be both a personal and family talisman.
If the picture was embroidered by the eldest resident of the house, it turned into a family amulet. He saved all his relatives from any danger. Clothes embroidered with love retained the strength of the family even far from their home.
Embroidery is performed according to general rules
It is important to remember the color scheme. Many elements and small details have their place, which cannot be changed.
This all affects the main purpose of the amulet.
When sitting down to work, a needlewoman must remember the importance of her work. You can’t embroider with a heavy burden on your soul.
It’s better to wait out this period and get rid of negative thoughts.
Good choices are linen, cotton or wool. Select threads and fabric, following the prompts of your intuition. Visually present the result of your work.
Experts say that the most suitable color is green. It is the color of calm, peace and love
It also attracts money, which is very important for family well-being. If desired, you can use a green frame
The symbol itself may contain combinations of red, yellow and green. Choose the threads you like and start working. The main thing is that you like your painting. Its magical energy depends on what emotions it evokes in you.
The work is performed during the waxing moon. It is forbidden to use scissors: the threads are cut off by hand and secured with knots.
Spikelets, herbs or flowers are depicted near the goddess. Sometimes cats sit at her feet, and birds circle above her head. In general, small details play a very important role, and you also need to choose them very carefully.

If you have decorated clothing with such embroidery, never wash it in the washing machine - you may damage the magical pattern, and with it the magic. Do not allow clothing to become dirty. Wear it carefully and store it properly.
Over time, all objects accumulate external energy. To get rid of its harmful influence, it is necessary to promptly remove the accumulated negativity. Spring water in which the item is rinsed is suitable for this. For better effect, salt is added to it.

CONSPIRACY
It has long been customary to ask the Weaver to fulfill an important wish, to grant help and assistance. Makosh will save you from trouble and change your life for the better if the person asking makes a return promise and diligently fulfills it. The Slavs believed that turning to the Spinner was a way to correct fate.
The most famous version of the appeal is a spell with three multi-colored threads. You will need black, white, red. Additional items for the ritual:
- testicle;
- fresh milk;
- plate;
- candle;
- match.
They turn to the goddess under the full moon, far from human habitation, on the shore of a reservoir. The candle is lit and placed near a plate on which the egg is rolled, saying:
“I twist and rock the egg, which carries away the bad one and hides it in its shell.”
The appeal is repeated 7 times, then they drink milk, tie 3 knots on each thread, reciting the text. When working with white thread they say:
“Makosh, don’t forget me, stay close”, “Makosh, remember me, weave happiness in my life”, “My tightly tied knot is a source of good luck.”
When working with red thread they whisper:
“My destiny is the best”, “My destiny is rich”, “My deeds are successful, and my days are filled with luck.”
Tying knots on a black thread, they say:
“The enemies will go away”, “Bad things will pass by”, “The troubles are gone, they forgot about me.”
The threads are cut off, tied in a knot and they say: “Makosh, deliver me from this fateful thread,” while cutting off the black thread. It is burned in a candle fire, and the ashes are buried in the ground, after being mixed with a broken egg.

How to ask Mokosh for help. An ancient ritual to attract happiness
If a person has doubts about whether someone from the outside interfered with fate, it’s time to check the fact of witchcraft. And also carry out the magical ritual of Mokosh, during which you turn to the goddess for support. An ancient ritual will help get rid of negative manifestations in life, attract good luck, prosperity, and wealth. Makosh has the power to alleviate a person’s suffering in life and help overcome troubles.
There are several options for sorcery, here is one of the most popular. To carry out the procedure you will need a chicken egg and a little milk. Preference should be given to natural village, or in other words, “our own” products. Real wool is also required: three balls of red, black, white. Next you need to find a candle, matches and a clean flat plate. The correct choice of place, as well as the time of witchcraft, plays a big role. It is optimal to organize the ritual near a natural water source, for example, on the shore of a pond or lake, near a spring. The best period is the full moon. When performing clear actions, you will need to repeat the spells, without hesitation, legibly and loudly enough.
So, the first stage is throwing off the bad, which may have been facilitated by other people, causing damage and the evil eye. With the candle lit, roll the egg on the plate with your left hand and repeat the following words seven times:
At this moment, it is important to imagine that everything bad goes inside the egg. After completing the rotation and repeating the words seven times, break the egg by hitting it on the central part of the plate and say:
Next, consider the content. If the egg is no different from the usual one, then there was no evil eye. Foreign particles in the form of blood, rotten clots or a generally non-standard egg color should alert you. This means that the person was subjected to damage and other bad rituals performed against him. It is likely that the negative has not completely flowed into the egg; to finally get rid of the evil eye, more than one witchcraft step will be required.
At the next stage of magical achievements, they turn to milk. You should move your left hand clockwise over it, voicing the phrase three times:
After the slander, the milk is drunk completely
For those who are not fans of the product, it is important to choose a small cup, since you cannot leave the cured milk at the bottom. The third step is a slander on threads
You need to start with a white ball, and tearing off the thread is prohibited until the end of the spell casting. Be sure to read the words three times for each knot.
So, unwind a part from the white thread, tie the first knot with the words:
For the second node, located a little further, read:
For the third:
After the third hex, cut the thread and take the red ball. Do the same with him, tying three knots in turn, accompanying the process with three slander. The phrase addressed to the first node:
To the second node:
To the third node:
The last procedure is carried out on black threads. When tying the first knot, repeat:
When weaving the second knot, use the words:
Hex on the third node:
At the next stage, you need to connect all three threads with each other, continuously saying the phrase:
Then they say the spell:
Then they cut off the black thread with the words:
The bad thread must be burned over a candle. Throw the unburnt part into the egg and pour out the contents. In nature, they choose a place where people do not walk and throw the liquid from the plate there.
The Slavic deity Makosh is one of the most interesting magical creatures of the ancient pantheon. No wonder her cult is still famous and is even supported in some families. It is quite possible to beg happiness from the mistress of fate, but only with a pure heart and love of work.

How to care for a talisman
The basic rule of care is regular cleansing of negative energy. Mystical things accumulate negative vibrations from the surrounding space, and therefore lose their power.
If it is not possible to obtain spring water, clean the energy with salt: put the amulet in a container with it overnight. The used product is disposed of.
The need for new cleaning is determined by personal feelings, intuitively.

Magic and Makosh
The goddess Makosh, as the main protector of women, is approached with requests. Use the Bereginya rune placed on a wooden amulet to be under the protection of a powerful deity.
You need to turn to the all-seeing goddess regularly, no matter whether you are happy or not. Share your joys and sorrows with her, and she will become a reliable protector.
Strong rituals are performed on Mokosh Friday.
Tea and any other day is suitable for communicating with the goddess. Use such a ritual when you want to receive something: just talk to the deity, consecrate the talisman, doll, or any amulet that you use.
The ritual is carried out at night. Cover the work table with a new red tablecloth and blow a ball onto it (using chalk or flour). Lay out the gifts - pancakes, milk, poppy seeds, bread, honey, threads, fildepers, ribbons. A scarlet or white riser is placed in the center of the working surface. And they read the praise:
Repeated exactly as many times as necessary, but not weaker than three. Stop the moment you feel the presence of the goddess nearby. Now communicate with the deity.
Previously, women used lots. For this, 3 chips are made from bread. Take white bread with a dark crust. The chips should be the size of a two-ruble coin. When you call the goddess, take the chips into the levers and ask a question. Throw the chips onto the work surface. Explanation:
- until now light - the answer is yes;
- two white - yes;
- two black ones - more likely no than yes;
- three black ones - no.
If you receive a positive contradiction, ask the next question. When the answer is “no” to two questions in a row, this indicates that Makosh does not want to scribble today. Thank you for everything, hide the chips and come back the next day.
Goddess Makosh is omnipotent, capable of answering anyone’s question and attracting happiness and joy to a person. Don’t be afraid to turn to her in difficult situations; she will definitely help those who believe in her and honor her.
