From the Author
A warm summer evening descended on the village. Old people sit in the courtyards, on benches, and start talking about the past. The young people ran to the river in a cheerful crowd, probably they will light a fire again. Taya seems to be rushing between two banks of a river. She wants to lead round dances with her friends, sing soulful songs around the fire, but she sits on the porch of her hut and listens to her elders. Since childhood, she has had such an incomprehensible craving, she wants to listen to smart speeches from old people who have lived their lives and gained wisdom.
Taya herself is quite silent, sometimes you won’t even get a word from her. I’ve been like this since childhood; before I say anything, I think ahead many times. Others who didn’t know her called her painfully proud behind her back. Taya was beautiful in both face and figure, and she had skillful hands, but she didn’t boast about it. She was silent because she knew about the great power that was hidden in every word. Every word is worth its weight in gold. It can both heal and mortally wound. Taya still remembers how her grandmother, even though she was not a witch, used her words to put those who were sick on their feet. This strange skill was also passed on to her. Father goes hunting, and Taya wishes him luck. And so it happens, the ferocious bear almost killed the inept hunter, but did not touch him at all. The neighbor’s wife is sick, and Taya, seeing someone else’s grief, smiles radiantly and says that the hostess will soon get back on her feet. That's what happens.
In the village, Taiyu is known, loved and a little afraid, because her words are prophetic. They are afraid to offend someone, and what if he curses them. But there is no need to be afraid, Taiya has a pure and kind heart. Sometimes her children tease her, offend her, and she only smiles at them in response. Once, even one of her peers enviously threw a curse at her, and Taya, you know, grew stern in her face, and scolded the girl like a small and unreasonable child. Like, what a fool you are, you say a word, and it will come back to you a hundredfold. Everyone thought that he would curse her, but Taya, although she was stern at that moment, only said that I forgive and don’t hold a grudge.
Taya is silent, which makes her words wise and careful. She doesn’t want to inadvertently offend someone or cause trouble. Her grandmother taught her to think very hard first before saying a word. From her grandmother she inherited her most important treasure - the Molvinets amulet. Warm, like the sun that flaunts on her chest. Taya knows the power of her amulet, is filled with it, and does good with her prophetic words.
Slavic amulet - Molvinets.
Our ancestors knew that we needed to think before saying something even at a time when, as they say, the sun was a god. The Slavs believed that a word can be prophetic, can heal, or even cripple. There was a belief that a person’s mood, his emotions and feelings could be transmitted through the words he spoke. Thus, in a fit of anger, the words spoken could cause harm, cause illness, or even kill a person. Therefore, our ancestors were quite careful in their statements, but, not excluding the hot temper of human nature, they tried to protect themselves with a special method.
In order to protect themselves from the evil eye, damage and other people’s curses, the ancient Slavs used a universal amulet - Molvinets. To begin with, we note that the name of this amulet comes from the word “to speak,” that is, to speak. This means that this amulet is therefore a protection against “bad rumors”. This amulet is considered solar, that is, a conductor of solar energy. The sun and its energy is a source of light and heat, capable of cleansing the body and spirit of a person from any bad influence.
There is another version of the origin of the name of this amulet. According to this version, Molvinets is a combination of two words “mol” and “crown”. The first word is interpreted as a kind of abbreviation, where each letter has its own personal meaning. The first letter “m” denotes the materiality of human thought, that is, the power and ability to mentally influence the environment. The letter “o” represents the energy shell of a person, his aura. The letter “l” acts as the denominator of a person, his personality. The word “crown” means a headdress, there is actually no secret here. If you follow this version, then the Molvinets amulet is a protective barrier that protects the head, that is, a person’s consciousness, from the negative influence of other people’s words and thoughts. This theory has no official confirmation, perhaps this is just another tale from the network, but this article was created precisely to give the reader a more complete idea of what this amulet actually is.
Material for production
The material is of great importance when creating a protective item. Mostly gold or silver is used.
Gold is a conductor of solar energy, so the talisman is suitable for people with a strong and bright character, for those who are regularly in the center of public attention.
Silver is a symbol of purity and purity. Suitable for sensible, serious and balanced people.
In production, you can use not only precious metals, but also wood. Wood from rowan, bird cherry, aspen, oak, spruce and larch is suitable.
Molvinets meaning.
“The word is not a sparrow, you can’t catch it if it flies away” - they like to repeat this saying to children in order to teach them to say meaningful things. And it’s true, you can’t take back what’s been said. Surely, each of us in our lives has come across the fact that we said real nonsense when fooling around with friends, or, on the contrary, used profanity and cursed our offender. Everything we say is a reflection of our desires, feelings and thoughts. When our loved ones or just kind people tell us something good, we feel very good; other people’s words seem to warm us. It also happens that other people's words can hurt us and cause mental pain. The words we say can do the same to others. Our ancestors fully realized this power. Previously, simply cursing a person was enough to intimidate him and cause harm. Of course, everything can be attributed to the self-hypnosis of unenlightened ancestors who knew nothing about the “real” way of life. However, the ancient Slavs did come up with the Molvinets amulet, and not only to protect themselves, but also to protect those around them. They believed that anyone who wore such a talisman became known to it. His speeches, his thoughts and consciousness became more sedate and reasonable. The man wearing Molvinets was calm, even when they tried to offend him. The amulet helped to calm internal irritation, which is why the person’s speech was devoid of any negative notes.
Another excellent option for the Molvinets amulet was the ability of its wearer to speak beautifully and fluently. The amulet not only pacified anger and resentment, but also helped in times of peace to direct the stream of one’s consciousness to creation, to studying the wisdom of ancestors. A person wearing Molvinets seemed to be able to come into contact with the age-old knowledge of his family, to be filled with the beauty of thought and the perfection of words. His speech became skillful, capable of capturing the attention of the people around him. Molvinets awakened creative abilities in its bearer.

The image of the amulet resembles the intertwining of two Kolovrat, in fact, that’s how it is. They are inextricably linked with each other, and the rays of the image are always bent towards the center. If you look at this amulet a little differently, you can see something like a boomerang. It is here that the sacred meaning of Molvinets is revealed - everything bad said by a person will certainly return to him.
The interweaving of Kolovrat’s rays creates an image of a cross inside Molvinets, which is slightly tilted to the side. There is no point in looking for Christian overtones here, because the cross itself is a rather ancient symbol, used back in pagan times. The cross represents the four parts of the world. This implies that a person, no matter where he is, is always responsible for his words and actions.
Many see similarities between Molvinets and Alatyr. In fact, this is partly true, since both amulets are based on the intersection of eight rays, tending to different directions of the world. The similarity can be seen in the purpose of the amulets. Molvinets, like Alatyr, is designed to remind a person of his inextricable connection with his family and ancestors. This amulet is designed to return a person’s mind to the bosom of a true family, and nourish it with the wisdom of its roots.
Technique for charging the amulet
- Choose a place in nature where you can feel calm, protected and comfortable. It would be good if it was a personal place of power. It is favorable to carry out this ritual on the bank of a reservoir or river.
- The person charging the amulet must turn to the main natural elements one by one. In the request, it is advisable to place a strong emphasis on permission to charge the Molvinets with power and protective properties.
- After this, this amulet takes on the functions of an amulet. To activate, sprinkle earth on top, then rinse under running water, hold over fire and leave for a while in the open air. It’s good if there is strong wind that day. This is a favorable sign. Thus, the amulet will be endowed with the protective powers of 4 natural elements and will begin to work immediately after the ceremony.
The legend of Molvinets.
There is one very interesting legend that tells us how the ancient Slavs received the Molvinets amulet from their gods. According to legend, the ancient Slavs respected and valued work. Everyone tried to contribute to the common cause. Everyone worked tirelessly. Lazy people were condemned and passed over. Among everyone, there was one kind man who was humble and worked in silence, without boasting of his labors. One day, when the Great Family descended to the earth of its mortal children, he saw this man. Rod liked how selfless and hardworking the man was. The man worked many times more than others, but he never spoke about it out loud, he did not grumble or complain. His work was quiet, and he himself was incredibly modest. The Great Family decided to reward this man for all his efforts, for the purity of his soul, and granted him untold wealth. Another person began to envy the chosen one, and his envy was black, corroding the soul. He began to wish bad things for his brother. Then, in order to protect his pet from the envy of others, the Great Family gave him a shield from the evil eye and any damage. This shield was the Molvinets amulet. It is not known for certain which specific Slavic deity this amulet belongs to, but most researchers are inclined to believe that it was Rod who endowed this amulet with power.

How to activate Molvinets?
Any Slavic amulet that you are going to wear must be properly charged.
The Molvinets amulet is no exception. Judge for yourself, this amulet is designed to set up energy protection around you from all kinds of damage, the evil eye and other negative influences. Our soul is such a thin and fragile matter that we need to work with it truly delicately. By coming into contact with our spirit, Molvinets must increase its strength. An incorrectly charged amulet can cause much more harm than the words of others. Like other Slavic amulets, Molvinets is charged with the help of natural elements. To begin with, it is worth ridding the amulet of extraneous energy. Even if the amulet is new, strangers have touched it, the same master and those who transported your amulet. This does not mean that all these people put a negative message into your amulet. No, quite the opposite, but still their energy is unnecessary on your amulet and needs to be removed. To cleanse Molvinets, it is worth using water as a universal element. If you have the opportunity to use natural sources, it will be simply wonderful. But if you are locked within four walls and you do not have the opportunity to get out of the city, then do not despair, simple tap water will do. It is enough to install the amulet under a running stream.
Do not forget that the most important thing is your internal state, your thoughts and desires. Try to get a good night's sleep the night before and think only about good things. Try to get all unnecessary thoughts out of your head and relax. Your energy should be as positive as possible. Before cleansing the amulet with water, come into contact with this element yourself. Take a shower or bath, let the water element “erase” old and unnecessary emotions. Wear clean clothes, prefer light colors. Try smiling at your reflection, just feel the joy and grab onto this feeling. It is in this state of mind that you can begin to cleanse the Molvinets amulet.
After the cleansing ritual, you definitely need to charge Molvints. This ritual must certainly be performed outdoors, in an open space. To begin with, you need to find
“right” place. This can be any place where you feel comfortable and peaceful. The best option is to find a shore near some natural body of water. It is necessary to take into account that during the ritual you will need to make a fire, so you should not break into parks or protected areas. But even when you find a suitable place, remember that you must light the fire extremely carefully, and not leave any debris behind. The favor of the natural elements still needs to be earned!
After you manage to choose a place that is suitable in all respects, you will need to freely turn to the elements for help. There are no common mantras, prayers or invocations, just speak openly, ask with all your heart, and you will certainly be heard. Contact each element, ask each of them to charge your amulet and give it power. Next, you will need to sprinkle Molvinets with earth, then dip it in water, pass it over the fire, and leave it to dry. This way you will use all four elements in this ritual.

The most common form of DIY amulet is embroidery. If you have cross-stitch or satin stitch skills, the process will not be difficult. It is important to follow the recommendations:
