At all times, the Slavs tried to protect themselves and their loved ones from evil, problems, slander, illness and mental anxiety with the help of amulets. If we touch on history, the ancient Slavs worshiped the cult of the Sun, so Slavic amulets always had solar signs, the main task of which was to protect the person wearing them.
You should not think that any amulet can protect a person, because there are no universal options, as, for example, in Christianity. In order for the amulet to serve as reliable protection, it must be chosen correctly. One of the striking examples of Slavic amulets (individual) can be considered the sun sign of the Valkyrie, which was worn only by Slavic women who cared about the protection of their clan and family. The amulets of the Slavs have long been intended to create a kind of protective screen for a person, home, family from all kinds of troubles, diseases and troubles.
Each Slavic amulet is individual, so it is important to select it not only for its beauty, but also for its meaning. Choosing a talisman is a complex process, requiring not only the determination of beauty criteria, but also basic knowledge regarding a particular type, which will become a real assistant, and not just another fashion accessory.
A little theory
Each culture is characterized not only by its own epic and traditions, but also by its own system of esoteric images, in which, on the basis of the most elementary geometric figures, the foundations of the life and worldview of representatives of a particular nationality are laid. We can safely say that symbolism and emblems are an essential component of all religious faiths, communities and cultures.
Our Slavic ancestors had sufficient knowledge to create their own
model of the structure of the surrounding world. The brightest
Examples include yarga or solstice, Kolovrat, Ladinets. Everyone knows perfectly well that the Milky Way and our galaxy have the shape of a swastika (bright). Such
DNA has the same shape. If we turn to the Sumerian epic “Enuma Elish”, then it clearly shows the connection between the Vedas of Ancient India, the basis of which can safely be considered Slavic legends. This epic describes in sufficient detail the processes of the emergence of the solar system. Don't forget about the Mahabharata, which is written on the basis of Perun's Vedas. The history of the Slavs is full of secrets and mysteries, and anyone who wants to comprehend them should not just look at pictures of Perun or Dazhbog, but actually study the records and evidence in the epics of various countries that have survived to our times. Unfortunately, some people, having seen and bought Slavic amulets, consider themselves descendants of the great Aryans, but this is not entirely true, because for them they are nothing more than a trinket, and such people have nothing to do with Slavic history.
These are not all examples of the fact that the ancient Slavs had knowledge that modern humanity does not yet have. To maximize the preservation of knowledge acquired over centuries, symbols were used - simple images that are much more understandable to a knowledgeable person than numerous volumes of libraries. By the way, paper storage media can easily be destroyed (just remember the Library of Alexandria), and a symbol placed on a talisman or just a stone will not be distorted by a certain vision and will retain its original meaning. Every descendant of the Slavs is simply obliged to know and understand the meaning of the foundations of ancient Slavic mythology, runes and amulets, because this is our history, no matter how hard they try to hide it behind Christian canons, it will remain real history.
For home
A prayer protecting the family is read in front of the icon, the positive aura of which can protect against the evil eye, negative energy and curses.
Anyone who decides to preserve their property and peace of mind in this way will need to choose one of the following images:
- Seven-shot icon of the Mother of God. This amulet is an image of the Mother of God, who is pierced with seven arrows, symbolizing the troubles and suffering experienced by the Mother of the Lord. A prayer is read in front of this icon to protect the home and family, after which people’s hearts become softer. They also turn to the Mother of God in order for mutual understanding to arise between household members.
- Saint Nikita of Novgorod. It is believed that this saint cleanses and protects human souls. His image can protect not only from enemies and the evil eye, but also relieve envious people from the negative energy. It also helps with worries and feelings of fear. A prayer that protects the family, read in front of this icon, guides you on the right path. Nikita Novgorodsky helps to expose ill-wishers and calms the soul.
- Ostrobramskaya icon with the image of the Mother of God. This is the strongest amulet for the family, protecting against the evil eye, damage, enemies and dark forces. They prayed to the Ostrobramskaya icon during the war, asking it for calm and peace.
Let us give an example of a prayer that will help achieve harmony and peace in the family.
With the first cross from the Holy Spirit I cover souls (names) from all kinds of misfortune and trouble. Second from the Lord, we close poverty and misery. The third cross of the Son of God Jesus Christ will save us from sadness, sorrow and despondency. We are baptized with the fourth cross, we receive the help of the Guardian Angel for the servants of God (names). The fifth descends from the Most Pure Virgin, protecting from empty waste. The sixth cross from south to north will hide from illness and disease. And the seventh from our house to the Kingdom of Heaven closes all others. Our monastery now and always lies under seven crosses. Grief and misfortune are not scary for her forever. Amen.
How to choose the right Slavic amulet
Slavic amulets and their meanings are a whole section of history, despite all the simplicity and clarity at first glance. Anyone who decides to buy a Slavic amulet should know that it is beneficial only if it is charged on time and according to all the rules. In ancient times, this mission was undertaken by magicians who specialized in concentrating energy in a talisman. Today it is almost impossible to meet them, but this is no reason to be upset - the amulet can be charged on its own if you perform a simple set of actions. You should not think that the process of charging the amulet resembles some kind of satanic actions with obligatory sacrifices; in most cases, the forces of nature are used, unity with which for the Slavs has always been the most important magical ritual. In order for Slavic amulets to work to protect their owner, it is important to choose them correctly. Below are basic tips regarding the selection and use of Slavic symbols in everyday life:
- ➡ It is necessary to choose a talisman rationally. It’s not enough to just read about the amulet and its possible protection. It is worth spending more than one hour to thoroughly study each amulet, its properties, purpose, wearing rules and many other important points. It is important to initially decide on the properties that the amulet should have. An important point is the metal from which it will be made - the most common is silver, as it combines the unique properties of purification, ionization, oxidation resistance and low cost, which is affordable for many
- ➡ If you are confident in your intuition before purchasing a talisman, then you can try to choose it, relying solely on it. But you should use your intuition only if you have already carefully studied all the properties and effects of Slavic amulets. It is worth remembering that relying “on luck” does not always make sense, since a talisman is not bought to be worn for a couple of days, but for life. If you have any doubts about purchasing this or that amulet, it is better to consult with a specialist who will tell you everything in detail and help you choose the best option. It is important to understand that you should buy Slavic amulets from trusted manufacturers, without relying on merchants in transitions who offer symbols of the ancient Slavs of unknown origin and often with distorted runes and ancient signs;
- ➡ Slavic symbols on amulets are more than a beautiful and original decoration. This is a personal assistant, so after purchasing the amulet, pay attention to the changes in your life, starting from the moment you wear it constantly. Such actions are necessary in order to understand that the main task of the amulet is to protect you, and if the amulet does not protect its owner, then perhaps you chose it incorrectly or are using it incorrectly. All Slavic amulets protect their owners, but bad thoughts at the stage of charging the amulet or its incorrect use can nullify the positive effect. A talisman is only a symbol of protection; it is an assistant in righteous deeds, but man himself is the architect of his own happiness. Your destiny directly depends on the decisions you make and subsequent actions. If you want the amulet to truly protect you from adversity and disaster, constantly work on yourself, improve yourself, and comprehend the physical and spiritual components of Existence. Only in this way will the amulet become an assistant in achieving the goals you set for yourself.

Men's and women's amulets
All Slavic amulets are divided into two main categories - for men and for women. The basis of any amulet is the symbol depicted on it, associated with certain forces of nature. Despite the fact that belief in higher powers and gods today is not as great as it was before, amulets are closely related to higher powers that constantly influence a person. That is why it is important not only to choose the right amulet, but also to charge it with pure thoughts, wear it constantly and believe in its magical power. It just so happened that in the beliefs of the ancient Slavs there was a clear division into male and female patrons, therefore amulets should be chosen in accordance not only with the month of birth, but also with gender. Silver is considered the traditional material for making Slavic amulets, as this metal has unique purification and durability properties.
Attributes of Mara
The attributes of the goddess Morena were considered objects and animals associated with death and the magical world. Many illustrations show Morana holding a sickle. According to legend, she uses it to reap the lives of those people who freeze from the cold and during a blizzard. The goddess walks over human skulls. By this she shows how indifferent she is to human life. And there is a month above Mara’s head, because night is the time when she is very strong.

It was believed that the deity was friends with the black raven - the messenger of trouble and the wolf. Morana sends packs of gray predators to roam the forests and roads in winter so that they kill as many people as possible.

For family
There are icons that allow spouses to avoid quarrels, conceive a child, preserve love and protect loved ones from troubles and illnesses. Anyone who decides to purchase such amulets is recommended to choose the image of Peter and Fevronia of Murom, Joachim and Anna, Nicholas the Wonderworker, Saint Paraskeva or Matrona, as well as Elder Tryphon. It is believed that the icons depicting these saints allow one to find happiness and family well-being.
It is worth keeping in mind that the most revered icon is the one depicting Jesus Christ, the Mother of God or the Holy Trinity. These images must be present in the home of every Orthodox person.
