Master class on making the “Sunny Horse” amulet

The folk doll “solar horse” personifies the bright spring sun. It is considered a male amulet that attracts good luck, happiness, prosperity, and prosperity in spiritual and physical development to the home. To give such a talisman to your beloved man means to wish him success, to “always be on horseback,” and to emerge victorious from any trouble.

History of origin

The image of a horse in many cultures signifies success, prosperity, nobility and wealth. In Slavic culture, special attention was paid to this animal. It is impossible to imagine a successful farmer, warrior or prince without a faithful assistant. In addition, in ancient times, the image of the sun was closely associated with a fiery horse rolling a chariot across the sky. Initially it was called “horse fire” and was performed in bright colors of flame.

The first solar horse was given to young children. With the help of a folk doll, boys learned to care for animals, communicate with them, and learned the basics of future work. For adult men it is a talisman and assistant, a conductor of the energy of sunlight.

Sun wheel

The amulet of the solar cross, which is also called the sun wheel, is one of the oldest signs, which is a circle with a cross inside. This symbol was used not only among the Slavs, but also among many other peoples. This magical object resembles a celestial cross, but its rotation is directed in the opposite direction. This focus indicates additional meaning.

When the celestial cross directs its power to preserve the memory of ancestors and their help, the solar cross amulet turns energy into the future and has a more effective form. It symbolizes the solar cross, awareness of oneself, one’s origin, and gives strength for spiritual development.

Our ancestors used the sign as a body amulet for warriors, spiritual guides and forest guardians. Nowadays, such a cross is suitable for parents, teachers, educators and people in other professions related to education or forest protection.

Slavic myth about the sun: Khorsa's chariot

Since ancient times, horses have been revered as symbols of Horse, the God of the Solar Disk. They say that every morning he rides out in a solar chariot and carries a shining disk across the sky until the evening. This is not an easy job. The Solar God does not know days free from work, because otherwise that terrible moment will come when the sun does not rise above the horizon at its appointed time.

Here's what Slavic myths tell us about this:

“When Svarog created Kolo and made the Earth rotate, he decided to go further and establish a clear Order. Rod, the Creator of all that exists, greatly approved of Order in everything.

- That's right, son, you're thinking! Order is easier to manage than disorder. With Order, everything goes as usual, one after another, you don’t have to wait for any surprises. What exactly do you want to establish Order in? - And I would establish an Order for Khorsu, when he rides across the sky, so that he would know in advance when he harnesses his fiery stallions, when he unharnesses. It happens that he drives them like crazy, and before you have time to look back - the horses are in the stable, it’s dark in the yard; otherwise they drag on like they’re drunk. The day is then long and the night is short. Yes, and Svyatobor complains. Horse shines very randomly - sometimes the solar ball gives a lot of light and power, but sometimes it shines barely and gives almost no warmth. This is very harmful to all plants. – Yes, you’re right, Svarog. This is a Disorder. And what do you suggest? – And here it will be very easy to establish Order. Let's make two Equinoxes so that the day is equal to the night. And between the Equinoxes we will make two Solstice. With one, the longest day and the shortest night, and with the other, the shortest day and the longest night. So there will be four Breaks of the Sun in a year, the order will be easy to track. But someone needs to tell Horse how much light and power to send each time. - Well, it's simple! Let us appoint four reliable Gods to rule the manifest World in turn, for a quarter of a year. They will remind the ardent Horse of the rules that everything should be in moderation, and they themselves will be free for three quarters of the year, tea, they will not get tired from one break to the next.

According to Feng Shui

The ancient teachings of Feng Shui also did not ignore the noble animal. In Taoist teachings, the horse occupies special attention, denoting courage, perseverance, and a good reputation. The listed qualities are indispensable for building a career, successful business and creating a good image in society.

Figures without harness come in three types:

  1. The winning horse is galloping and bareback. Symbolizes the zeal for victory and recognition. An excellent gift for athletes, entrepreneurs, careerists and generally all motivated people.
  2. Festive - depicted as a horse rearing up. It also brings victory and recognition to its owner.
  3. Deed of gift. Such a horse is always bareback and is buried in jewelry, attracting wealth, luck and status into a person’s life. Feng Shui masters recommend placing the figurine on a money napkin facing the front door, indicating the direction for bringing material goods into the house. Give preference to white options, which have a favorable aura.

A saddled horse, deprived of freedom and limited in its movements, is a bad symbol according to the principles of Feng Shui.

However, if the place of the rider is taken by a monkey - a symbol of wit and dexterity - be sure to purchase a figurine to double your success in promoting your career, gaining wisdom and positive energy around you.

Paired horses are perfect for strengthening friendships and partnerships, including with business colleagues. If you place this amulet in a house, then soon its inhabitants will forget about disagreements, quarrels and betrayals, and will find harmony and mutual respect.

When choosing a horse as a talisman, keep in mind that the animal has fiery energy. Place a red candle or an image of the sun near the figurine to enhance the amulet’s capabilities. Try to avoid proximity to water and black and blue objects, otherwise the protective properties of the solar horse will come to naught.
