It was a long time ago.
At that time, people believed in a variety of Gods, and the Sun was the main thing for them. Far in the North lived a family with a little boy. One cold winter the boy caught a cold and became ill and did not get out of bed. The father was very sad, he was not happy, and asked: “What would you like, how can I help you?” The boy replied that he really wanted to see the Sun.

In the middle of winter, and even in the North, it’s hard to see the Sun - there’s snow and clouds all day. Father threw more wood into the brazier, and let’s see a few thin chips. Immediately the father understood what needed to be done.

He collected thin wood chips and decorated them with fine carvings. All night he connected thin chips and splinters together, and in the morning he got a beautiful openwork bird with large, light wings. He hung it over the brazier. From the warm air she began to spin and turn in all directions. The son woke up and saw a bird. There was a lot of happiness in his eyes: “Here it is, Sunny, right here.”

After this, the son quickly recovered, and the bird became a household amulet. The children in the house were no longer sick. This little story may very well be true.

Belbog (Belobog, Belun) is the embodiment of light, the god of goodness, luck, happiness, goodness, the personification of the daytime and spring sky.

Keeps from quarrels and creates harmony in the family.

“White Rus' is not without good people,” people have said since ancient times, calling their Fatherland, their Tsar, and their faith white. And white light has always been the embodiment of the world, earth and heaven, the entire vast Universe. The living memory of the ancient Belbog is preserved to this day in the legends about Belun.

This god was especially revered in Belarus. Here they believed that a gray-bearded old man who looked like a sorcerer would definitely bring home a person lost in the forest. In a happy moment, Belarusians said: “It’s like I made friends with Belun.” Or: “It’s dark in the forest without Belun.” It is not for nothing that in ancient times, boys and girls, gathering at gatherings with the arrival of autumn, sang:

Most often, he appears in the eared rye with a bag of money on his nose, beckons some poor man and asks him to wipe his nose: if he fulfills the request, then money will fall out of the bag, and Belun will disappear.

The Bird of Happiness

The Slavic amulet Bird of Happiness has ancient roots. Our ancestors placed wide-winged wooden figurines under the ceiling so that steam from the samovar would hit them and make them spin in the air. In Rus' there were many versions of such amulets. All of them originated from the fabulous Firebird, which absorbed the energy of the sun. This energy fills the carved feathers to this day, protecting all inhabitants of the home from harm.

They say that Lada flew over the world in the form of a huge white bird, looking for her son Perun. But they tell different things about the wooden bird of happiness.

History of origin and meaning of the amulet

The Bird of Happiness has a very interesting history. As the legend goes, a child in the family of a poor villager fell ill. The doctors could not help him and only threw up their hands, trusting in God. Every day the baby got worse and worse and the father decided to distract him a little. He asked his son what could cheer him up. The child replied that he dreams of only one thing - to see the sun all day. But at that time it was winter, the days became gloomy and dark, and the sun's rays only occasionally brought joy with their light. The father was afraid that his child would not live to see spring and wondered what he could do for him.

While thinking, the villager paid attention to the wood chips, and an idea came to him. He worked all night and by dawn he had made a beautiful bird from a pile of pieces of wood. She was so light and delicate that her wings fluttered even from a light breeze. My father decided to hang it above the stove so that the warm air would create the illusion of flight.

In the morning, when the boy woke up, he saw a bird that reminded him of the sun. After this, his health began to improve and he soon made a full recovery. From then on, the Bird of Happiness hung in the villager’s house for a long time, protecting his family from illness and troubles.

What does the Bird of Happiness amulet look like?

Since then, birds made in this way have been called amulets and are associated with the luminary of the day. There are also other properties of the amulet:

protects against disease, especially for young children;
prevents theft in the home;
protects against accidents such as fire or flooding;
protects the home from the arrival of uninvited guests;
smoothes out family conflicts.

A husband or wife who feels that someone is casting a love spell on their other half especially needs a talisman. In order for it to work, certain actions are carried out on it, activating its protective qualities.

Bird Sirin

Old Russian legends tell of an amazing bird of paradise that has the head of a girl. This image is in many ways similar to the Greek sirens. The Sirin bird is also sweet-voiced; it flies to earth to sing songs about eternal bliss. It is this moment that gives her dark traits, because her songs make mortals lose their minds.

This amulet is for strong and bright people. If it falls into the hands of a greedy person, it will bring him many troubles: it will deprive him of happiness, love, health, although he will bestow material benefits. Therefore, there is an opinion that such a talisman is selective towards people. Wearing such a talisman is recommended only for those who objectively see what is happening from the outside, can distinguish darkness from light, and know how to manage their lives. The Sirin bird gives such a person a lot of happiness.

Rite of consecration of the amulet

The amulet must be properly consecrated and activated. Without ritual, this is just a beautiful decorative craft. Slavic sorcerers consecrated this amulet with fire. You don't need much to achieve happiness in your home. Buy 10 wax candles and incense from the church. The ritual must be performed on a sunny day. Summer is best, but just a very nice, bright day will do.

Go out into a field or park.
Stick all the candles into the ground and light them.
Burn incense, pray to your Saint.
When the Sun shines brightly, raise the bird to the sky and say:

These are Slavic ritual texts that were pronounced in ancient times. The firebird must be between heaven and earth, sanctified by fire and the Sun. She will receive a charge of very strong warm energy of the fire element, and will bring a lot of happiness to your home. Say the cherished words, and then ask the bird for help and support for your home.

Slavic birds amulets

This amulet will need to be taken home, hung where your family most often spends time together. If you have a small child, the amulet can be temporarily hung over his crib. There is no need to remove the bird unless necessary.

Once a year you can wipe it carefully from dust. It should take its rightful place in your home and family. Slavic legends do not lie; many were surprised by the effect this simple ritual brought.

What did the Travelers of the Northern Country tell?

“This spring, the children and I made fabric birds and baked buns in the shape of larks. And one March morning we performed a small ritual to spell the arrival of spring. We dressed up in elements of a folk costume, circled our birds on strings, I taught the children calls and stoneflies, and at the end of the ceremony we ate buns. It seemed like spring really heard us that day. Even the birds, hearing our calls, began to sing in a special way. Perhaps our birds were not genuine “birds of happiness” - we made them for the arrival of spring, but they made us happy on that sunny March day. They hung in our house all spring. And in the summer, when I started photographing the birds, because spring was over, the children even cried - they loved these little funny birds made of fabric so much.”

Magic utensils for spells, magic, fortune telling

The bird of happiness is a symbol of family happiness and prosperity. In the old days, every home had its own amulet bird. They made birds from different materials: they made them from wood, they painted them on the walls of the house. Our Travelers suggest that they make a bird of happiness from fabric with their own hands. What do we know about the magic bird?

How is this amulet for the house against evil made?

If the firebird amulet falls or breaks in its usual place, this is a very bad sign. The bird protected you from serious danger. It could be damage, a curse, or a very strong dark message. It is worth reading several protective conspiracies and going to Church.

Amulets can absorb many energy messages. They absorb illnesses, troubles, injuries. But when the danger is very great, even the most powerful talisman may not cope. She takes on as much negativity as she can. The talisman stands to protect your happiness as much as it can.

If it breaks, take it to a pond and burn it there. The ashes need to be blown by the wind. It is believed that the firebird will be reborn and bring you protection again. You can buy a new bird charm if you want.

Many happy families keep it in the house for 10-15 years. He serves faithfully, driving away everything negative and dark from home and family. As soon as you notice a breakdown, immediately go to church and pray.

The Firebird took on a lot of negative energy, but the remnants are still in your home. Every corner of the house will need to be sprinkled with holy water. Don't tell anyone about what happened. On the way to church, remain silent and do not answer questions. Protecting your happiness is now in your hands.

The Pomeranian pigeon comes from our northern lands. Usually the owner of the house himself made it and taught it to his sons. Now it has become so popular that it is produced all over the world, but traditional Slavic birds, of course, are made only in Arkhangelsk, from northern spruce, pine, cedar or fir. The tree is split in a special way, turning into wings and a tail, and is secured only with threads.

A real Pomeranian dove is never varnished in order to preserve the strong positive energy of the tree; moreover, over time the bird will acquire a beautiful bronze hue. By the way, the tree itself is already a strong amulet for the house against evil, because it has absorbed the power of the four natural elements.

Creative work: Draw paired figures with a brush - two birds near a flowering branch. Type of visual activity: Decorative composition based on repetition and variation of the motif of two birds “at the tree” in Gorodets painting (gouache, brushes).

Main goals and objectives of the lesson

1. To deepen children’s understanding of the traditional image of a bird in folk art, the capacity of folklore ideas. 2. To develop brush painting skills in fourth-graders when performing creative tasks involving repetition and variation. 3. To instill in children a respectful attitude towards the personality of the folk artist - the bearer of national culture.

Approximate course of the lesson

1. Conversation with children about how consistent the idea of a bird bringing light is in works of folk art. 2. Work with the text of the textbook and drawings in a creative notebook. Students prepare answers to questions that activate their aesthetic perception of the multicolored modern Gorodets painting, using the example of the vernissage works “Strands, Young, Don’t Be Lazy” and “By the Tree.” 3. The teacher explains how to draw paired figures of birds near a flowering branch with a brush. Children performing an exercise on the multicolored Gorodets palette. 4. Fourth-graders perform creative work in their notebooks (p. 15). 5. Summing up: we note the beauty and harmony of the completed composition, the sonorous colors of the birds successfully found by the students, the way the multicolored flowering branches in the compositions are combined with the bright paintings of the birds. Children note why the image of the bird of light occupies a significant place in folk motifs.

The lesson opens with a conversation, for which it is advisable to prepare a small colorful exhibition “The image of the bird of light in different types of folk art.” Include in the exhibition display both reproductions and original works of folk artists (as the working conditions of the teacher at school allow). Among the “exhibits”, demonstrate works of folk craftsmen from different regions of Russia, which students have already become acquainted with in grades 1-3: images of birds in a clay toy (Kargopol, Filimonovo, Dymka, Abashevo, Kaluga), in embroidery (folk costume, towel), wood chips bird, birds in the decor of wooden carvings decorating a peasant house, etc. When formulating questions based on the exhibition materials, try to help fourth-graders draw conclusions about why the image of a bird is associated with the welcoming of spring, good forces, gifts of light - the lush flowering of the earth. When summarizing student statements, you will be helped by the reasoning of M. A. Nekrasova, a famous scientist in the field of folk art (see reference material). The next stage of the lesson is an examination of images of birds and flowering branches in Gorodets painting using examples of decoration of ancient Donets and works of modern folk craftsmen. We note that the image - a symbol of a bird - light, happiness and goodness is enhanced by the decorative development of paired figures - two birds near flowering branches in the works of modern masters (U., p. 33). A new developmental task is to introduce children to and explain to them the diversity and sonority of color in Gorodets painting. The teacher will be helped in this by the statements of a hereditary master from Gorodets - A. Konovalov (see reference material). It seems advisable to use the description of the palette of Gorodets masters given by A. Konovalov for preliminary exercise of students in multicolor on a separate sheet:

Left - pure colors	On the right are the same colors mixed with white.
bright red minium cherry - cormorant blue blue azure English red crown yellow green, brown (various shades)	mixing one paint with another

From the resulting variety of colors and their shades, each selects a color combination for his own brush image of paired bird figures. Like folk artists, each author will have his own favorite shades of color and their combinations, corresponding to his perception. The beauty and completeness of the work is determined by the “whitewashing”.

Quick reference material

On the correspondence of ancient symbols to natural phenomena in Russian folk art. Even in ancient times, the relationship of the Slavs with nature shaped the figurative world of art, and Russian art inherited it. The images of the sun and light were combined with the image of mother earth. This can be noted as a feature of the Russian, ancient Slavic worldview. ...The bird motif was at the center of people's artistic representations associated with the arrival of spring. Russian customs were characterized by the ritual of welcoming spring with larks. Their images were baked from dough to commemorate the spring holiday - the time of arrival of birds. ...Folk songs preserve this image associated with warmth and harvest, the invocation of spring. …It is not difficult to see how persistent the idea of a bird bringing light is in works of folk art. The image of the bird of light can be found in various types of folk art. These are birds with bushy tails in the form of thriving branches or an entire tree in embroidery. ...The original folk symbol of the bird of light clearly appears in the clay works. Its beneficial meaning was associated in popular ideas with the dream of happiness. A bird is an obligatory attribute of female images in Russian clay sculpture; sometimes a soldier is depicted with a bird, as, for example, in the Filimonov toy. Traces of the ancient symbol are confirmed by sun signs: circles, crosses, rhombus. (Nekrasova M.A. Folk art of Russia. - P. 18, 25, 26.) Palette of Gorodets painting. Gorodets painting developed as the art of decorating flat surfaces. It did not require hardening; this allowed its craftsmen to use a wide variety of colors and shades. The richness of her palette knew no bounds, but at the same time she retained a great culture of color. The masters of Gorodets painting found their own special palette of colors. The most characteristic background for painting on the bottoms of spinning wheels with their various subjects was yellow-lemon. When depicting people, animals and birds, as well as flowers, bright red minium and cherry cormorant, blue milor and blue azure, English red and yellow crowns and various shades of green and brown paints predominated... The masters composed a wide variety of shades of blue and pink, purple and orange by adding white, as well as by mixing one paint to another. Each master had his own favorite shades of color and their combinations corresponding to his perception. However, they all used common techniques that helped achieve high mastery of color. The combinations of colors were distinguished by a peculiar delicacy, sonority and severity at the same time. Therefore, our bottoms did not disappear at the market among the general diversity. The multicolored painting and love for the sonorous colors of Gorodets masters were supported by the spirit of the time and the impressions they received at the Nizhny Novgorod fair and Gorodets bazaars. The techniques developed as a result of collective work helped the craftsmen not to be afraid of the craze for bright colors that was characteristic of the end of the last century.
