The eagle is a symbol and totem. Slavic symbol of 2022

The eagle is a proud, majestic bird that cannot but evoke real admiration.
Of course, in all cultures and peoples the eagle occupied its niche and was a talisman. Today this symbol can also be used for a variety of purposes. What is the symbol of a beautiful and proud eagle, and how can it help us?

The eagle is a bright and powerful symbol, “solar”, that is, solar. It symbolizes the spiritual principle, the strength and power of the spirit, victory, power and liberation from earthly shackles. The eagle talisman helps you gain higher wisdom, free yourself from fetters and gain true freedom of the soul, become wiser and stronger.

Eagle in myths and legends. Archetypes and astrology

The eagle in legends and myths is a very ancient mediator between Heaven and Earth , as well as between different generations of gods, previous and current.

For example, in the Vedas he is the bearer of Soma - a divine drink. In Christianity, the flight of an eagle is a symbol of prayer that reaches God and a symbol of the forgiveness that heaven grants to man.

In Syrian mythology, the Eagle accompanies Souls into eternity. And among the Toltecs (which we can read about in Carlos Castaneda) – at the gates of Death there is an Eagle, devouring human awareness.

However, the main archetype of the eagle is the image of the so-called cultural hero, the legislator, possessing the highest wisdom and the ability to bring knowledge of the Upper World of the Gods - to people, to earth. Accordingly, the Eagle symbolizes the planet Jupiter .

Among the Indians of North and South America, the main eagle myth has the following scenario: a person comes to the “world of the Eagle” as a “nest destroyer”, and receives from him the ability to make fire , which symbolizes Knowledge .

Similar myths about the Eagle living at the top of the world tree are known among the indigenous peoples of Siberia. There also - in order to save his children, Orel, in gratitude for the help, shares his knowledge and skills with people.

Europeans have a myth about Prometheus. In Ancient Greek Mythology, the Eagle was a zoomorphic image of Zeus, and in Roman mythology, Jupiter himself was his divine analogue.

Monument to Prometheus with an eagle

Because the titan Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to people, Zeus cruelly punished the disobedient and sent his eagle every day to peck out his liver. The liver, in medical astrology, by the way, is also the organ for which the planet Jupiter is responsible in the horoscope. In the end, the most powerful of people, Hercules, ended the suffering of Prometheus, killed the eagle with an arrow, and freed the punished one from his chains.

Thus, the eagle is a Jupiterian symbol, associated with fire, light, divine knowledge, which can only be obtained through serious effort or patronage (the presence of a teacher, dedication).

The second aspect of the myths and legends associated with the eagle is its opposition to other symbolic images.

Eagle and Raven

The first force is also winged creatures - ravens . This archaic duality is described in the legends of peoples on different continents of the Earth: Siberian, North American, Australian.

The so-called “white” forces are often associated with the eagle, and “black” ones with the raven. For example, among the Yakuts, the progenitor of the people, Eagle, is a bright deity, contrasted with the head of the upper evil spirits, Raven. Therefore, white shamans are associated with the Eagle, and black ones with the Raven.

Astrologically, this symbolizes the opposition of the sign Sagittarius with its planet Jupiter (Eagle) and Gemini with its planet Mercury (Crow).

Eagle and Snake

The second force that opposes the Eagle in mythological motifs is the inhabitants of the lower water world. First of all, these are Snakes . The enmity between the archetypal images of birds of prey and snakes is found in many ancient traditions.

The confrontation between the Naga (snake-like people) and Garuda peoples in the ancient Indian epic is widely known.

In Hinduism, Garuda was originally described as an eagle-like bird. Epithets describing him: beautiful wings, sun bird, king of birds, enemy of snakes.

No naga serpent can survive the iron grip of Garuda's claws or beak.

In ancient Egypt, there were myths about the struggle between Horus (bird) and Set (snake).

In the Sumerian epic of Gilgamesh and in Scandinavian myths, snakes are believed to live in the roots of the world tree, symbolizing dark natural forces. And the Eagle, on the contrary, is associated with the top of this tree, symbolizing the idea, the forces of light, the free Spirit.

It can be assumed that behind these images and their confrontation is the original diametrically different genetics of the creatures that inhabited the Earth:

genetics, symbolized by birds, refers to initially harmonious cosmic civilizations and their bright representatives;
the genetics symbolized by snakes relate to reptilian space civilizations and their indigenous creations.

Perhaps there were experiments in crossing them. For example, here is the mask of the young pharaoh Tutankhamun, on whose royal headdress there is both a snake and a bird, which is quite rare.

It is said to be a symbol of the unification of Lower and Upper Egypt. But maybe these images also carry a deeper meaning.

Also, the symbol of a dragon - a snake with wings - combines these two dual images. Astrologically, this is the interaction of Jupiter and Pluto, the highest law of man and his natural internal potential, spiritual and material resources.

Eagle and Lion

And finally, the third interaction is the connection between two positive images, these are Eagle and Lion .

In fact, the conjunction of Jupiter and the Sun is double royal power, double power of Light. However, contrary to what might be expected, this symbol is not absolutely positive; within it there is a contradiction and struggle of different natures, so it is also conflicting.

Mythologically, the connection can give the image of an eagle with the head of a lion or vice versa. For example, the Sumerian lightning-storm bird Anzud was depicted as an eagle with the head of a lioness. She could be both good and evil, depending on the circumstances.

Or griffins - mythical winged creatures with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle, are also contradictory: they can act as protectors and patrons of people, or they can behave like evil animals that nothing restrains.

Slavic protective rings made of silver and gold

The Slavs have their own protective signs and symbols, rooted in their ancestors. Made from noble metals, embodied in a closed, endless ring, they increase their power and strength many times over.

Symbols for men

The signs of warriors, Slavic gods, animals, birds are suitable here. They should influence courage, intelligence, cunning, extraction of material wealth, male strength and endurance. A special place is occupied by amulets against deceit and betrayal. This is Yarilo, caroler, Svarog square, alatyr, scarab, wolf, bear, finist.

Symbols for women

Here we need signs of fertility, guardians of the hearth, mothers, symbols of wisdom and cunning. Ognevitsa, Makosh, Lada star, Ladinets are Slavic signs for women. More often, ladies prefer rings with precious stones. Then you need to choose a stone according to your zodiac sign or the one to which your soul lies. Clean and charge.

Wooden rings

If you like wooden products, then you can choose a wooden amulet ring according to the Druid calendar, or you can listen to your inner call and intuition. Go out into the forest, stand by every tree, listen to how it responds.

Oak is strength, power, endurance. Birch - women's health, easy relief from the burden. Pine is the path to light. Aspen – perseverance, resistance, compromise. Cherry – energy, desire. Rowan - harmony, recovery. Walnut develops wisdom.

Eagle symbols - meaning and significance

The main meaning of the symbol:

this is heaven, height and exaltation, and hence vigilance and great knowledge;
it is the ability to surpass and destroy lower forces;
this is an opportunity to rise above the ordinary bustling world and look at what is happening from above, through the eyes of the Spirit. This allows us to see the general scenario of ordinary life, its cause-and-effect relationships, its meaning.

The eagle is one of the evangelical symbols; it belongs to John the Theologian, who spread the Holy Word among people. In this regard, the eagle is associated with divine inspiration , therefore it is used on church pulpits.

Eagle in heraldry

The eagle symbol in heraldry is second only to the lion in popularity. The eagle is used as a symbol of power and dominance, the foresight of rulers, which allows them to achieve and maintain their supremacy.

Even in Sumerian heraldry there was an eagle with the head of a lion.

From historical films, we remember the ancient Roman battle insignia with an eagle, predatorily spreading its powerful wings. By the way, the eagle was often called the “Roman bird,” although the Roman Empire borrowed its Aquilla from the ancient Hittites. But with this eagle she turned 45 countries of the ancient world into Roman provinces (by the way, only the Empires had eagle heraldry before).

Since then, the flight of an eagle over the army has been interpreted as a good sign, an omen of victory.

The image of an eagle, which can vary in color and number of heads, was present in the emblems of Byzantium, and now adorns elements of the state heraldry of Russia, the USA, Germany, Austria, Egypt, Jordan, Poland, Nigeria, Zambia and many others.

The symbol of the double-headed eagle of Russia , which is embedded in our symbolism, means:

initially the union of church and secular power - as the archetype of the planet Jupiter;
vigilantly looking at its eastern and western neighbors, maintaining a balance between the eastern and western paths of development;
symbol of the two-faced Janus, looking both into the past and into the future;
holding emptiness - between two eagle heads, where unpredictable changes occur - according to the law of Time.

Often in heraldic theory, the Eagle symbol is given such a quality as immortality . And it should be noted that ideas associated with state entities that have the Eagle symbol live longer than their carriers and try to return again even after the death of the latter.

For example, the double-headed eagle of the Russian Empire, having rested in Soviet times, now crowns the state symbols of the Russian Federation.

And the eagles of the victorious Holy Roman Empire were resurrected through the eagles of the Third Reich.

The Garuda eagle symbol is used in eastern state heraldry. It is the national symbol of Indonesia and Thailand, and is present on the coat of arms of the capital of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar. It is also the state symbol of the Altai Republic.

Picture taken from Wikipedia

The image of the eagle Garuda was also present on the battle flags of Kalmyk military units in the Russian Empire. It is now the symbol of air force and airline units in several countries, and is also featured on the emblem of the Patriot Party in Indonesia.

The soaring Eagle is a symbol of 2022 according to the Slavic-Aryan calendar

If you were born in the years of the Eagle (1939, 1955, 1971, 1987, 2003), then rejoice - this is your year, it will bring you the brightest signs. This can hardly mean happiness in the traditional sense. But in the year of the Soaring Eagle, events will definitely await you that will tell you who you are and what else you need to do in life.

So don't click your beak... By the way, this applies to everyone.

What to look for in 2022?

In the Slavic-Aryan system, the patron of the Hall of the Eagle is God Perun - an analogue of traditional Jupiter. And it is in 2022 that Jupiter is in its own sign - in Sagittarius, which often means happy coincidences, success and luck.

Therefore, in the year of the Eagle it is necessary :

form your own worldview , expand it through touching new knowledge , including spiritual ones;
take trips that will allow you to take a new, broader and freer look at your life;
Treat your life strategically , ask yourself the question more often - what do I really want in life?
try not to become immersed in what is happening, but watch everything as if from above , including yourself. But as soon as the right moment to act presents itself, turn into lightning-fast activity .

Remember that in the year of the Soaring Eagle, your strength lies in calm observation and allowing yourself to soar on those vibrations, on those flows of energy and information that the Higher Forces leading you organize for you. Trust what is happening, but be prepared to actively participate in events.

Who is the talisman suitable for?

Who doesn't need the favor of luck? Absolutely everyone will need the help of Fortune, and the goddess of luck does not refuse support. Everyone can turn to her and will be heard. But the Wheel of Fortune amulet, among other things, is also a powerful protective symbol. He is capable of:

Protect from troubles that cannot be avoided on your own (sudden illnesses, unfair accusations by the police, troubles with loved ones);
Protect from witchcraft, damage, evil eye, love spell;
Attract cash flows and spiritual wealth to the wearer: love, knowledge or creative ideas. It depends on what you personally think is more important and how you use the amulet;
Suggest non-obvious decisions, for example, which job is better to get in order to be in the right place at the right time.

The amulet provides access to powerful sources of cosmic energy that fill life with joy. Harmony with your talisman will make you a real darling of fate, attract wealth and good luck. The wheel that works best in this regard is:

for gamblers – it will improve the probability of winning and tell you when it’s better to stop;
students and schoolchildren, especially during exams;
businessmen, especially those involved in trade;
players on the stock exchange.

It should be remembered that even the most powerful amulet on its own is useless. Money will not materialize by itself from the flow directed at you - you will still have to do something to earn it. The Wheel of Fortune will improve your chances of luck and good earnings, but nothing will happen just like that. As they say, water does not flow under a lying stone.

Totem Eagle

The Eagle totem can also be called the Soaring Eagle totem. These people often have a truly aquiline appearance, delicate but strong facial features, a proud and piercing gaze, and a large nose - so it is difficult to confuse them. They have sharp movements, and their voice is harsh and hoarse.

People who have the Eagle as their main totem have the potential to gain wisdom and often have a philosophical mindset. Their strongest quality is the ability to observe for a long time, comprehend, not interfere with anything for the time being, and then make a sharp move and get everything.

Their power lies in their inner aristocracy and pride; they believe in themselves, do not like to complain and are not inclined to share their experiences with other people.

They are full of a sense of their own exclusivity, freedom-loving and stubborn. This is what allows them to achieve their own goals, often breaking laws and rules that seem artificial to them.

Eagles have patience and responsibility, and are able to endure difficulties and hardships in life. And no matter how difficult it may be for them, they always leave inside themselves a corner of light from where they can look at the world and believe in justice.

They value strength and knowledge in other people, and cannot tolerate weaklings and whiners.

Eagles build strong relationships, although they are harsh and love change. But internal scrupulousness and loyalty to their choice allows them to be considered monogamous. They have a conscience that fuels loyalty in friendship, business relationships, and love.

These people have the ambition and strength to make their dreams come true and other people can look up to them.

Often, intelligent professions are chosen for self-realization, where intelligence and the ability to act with lightning speed and without error are required. They make good scientists, surgeons, teachers, trainers. If it’s a business, then it’s related to information.

Some types of Eagles become tough bosses, capable of making decisions with lightning speed and using their subordinates to achieve goals; they are especially good at exploiting the stupidity of others.

There are also military eagles, “beautiful, hefty”, these are very strong leaders and fighters.

If the Eagle is your totem, then it is important for you to have a house located as high as possible. Choose the highest floors of houses, because you like to be above everyone, so that there is no one above your head.

Whenever such an opportunity presents itself, always try to climb higher - onto a tree, mountain, tower, roof, etc. This gives you a special feeling of freedom and sharpens and refreshes your senses. It is also best for balancing and restoring your energy.

Learn to observe before you rush into battle. Take your time and fully understand the situation you are about to enter. Wait patiently, but don't miss your finest hour.

Try not to betray your ideals, do not get involved in stories that are below your level of interest. Know your worth!

Remember that other people are built differently, many of them are naked, earthlings, unable to fly. Don’t demand the impossible from them, but don’t bring them closer to you either.

Talisman Eagle

The Eagle symbol as a talisman, amulet and amulet is most suitable for those people who:

has the Eagle as his totem;
born in the years of the Eagle - 1939, 1955, 1971, 1987, 2003;
has in its horoscope the harmonious sign of Sagittarius and strong Jupiter;
born in the palace of the Eagle - approximate dates from July 13 to August 4 ;
has in its horoscope manifested degrees associated with the symbolism of the Eagle: 6 degrees of Aries (royal); 26 degrees Aries (white-headed); 5 degrees Virgo (mountain); 29 degrees Scorpio (white-tailed eagle); 22 degrees Sagittarius (bearded man); 7 degrees Pisces (snake eater).

The Eagle talisman can be based on the image of this bird or on a symbol. For example, the Palace of the Eagle amulet represents the Svarog circle and in the center the sign of Perun - lightning.

Such decorations will functionally demonstrate the best, eagle qualities of those people who were born in the palace of the Eagle.

For men, the Eagle talisman can work to strengthen wisdom and determination, willpower and courage. With this symbol you can reach maximum heights in your profession, social status, and spiritual development.

For women, the Eagle talisman or the Eagle's Hall amulet is suitable unless you are a woman at home. Not a chicken, but an eagle - proud, active, creative. If you have the ambition, desire and strength to achieve internal and external goals.

Then he will help you in business, in social life, in active professional realization. In personal life, this amulet is unlikely to be useful. Unless it reminds you of the boomerang air symbol - what you put into a relationship is what you get back.

Eagle amulet - helps a person develop a quick understanding and reading of the meaning of a situation, develops foresight, allows him to notice Signs better and faster. More affects the mind and its capabilities than the body.

The Eagle amulet also gives the ability to see snakes (low and negative people and entities) and neutralize their poison and harmful effects on you. You can experiment with this symbol in situations of poisoning.

Remember how in the movie “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” the tears of the phoenix neutralized the basilisk’s poison? - this is how the internal juices of an eagle act on snake venom. And an amulet with the eagle symbol helps to quickly cleanse the body and restore clarity to the brain.

Thank you very much for the interesting articles. It was only in my retirement period that I decided to study this topic. Although I have always been interested in this topic and its impact on people. Everything is interconnected: we are united in Nature and in Space.

How to turn it into a talisman?

Almost any ring or ring can be turned into a talisman if you perform magical actions on it. The purchased ring definitely requires this, but even if it is a family heirloom and no one else has touched it, you need to carry out a number of manipulations to make it work for its new owner. Otherwise it will be just a decoration, an accessory to the overall costume.

Cleaning and charging

Cleansing especially applies to gift rings. You never know with what thoughts the gift was presented. Maybe with good ones, but with a little green envy. And then it’s not clear why everything went wrong. Therefore, cleaning from energetic dirt will not hurt. It is best to clean in two stages using salt and water.

Place the ring in a container with salt and leave overnight. Then rinse with holy water. If you don’t have one at hand, then make “silver” water. To do this, leave a silver item - earrings, a spoon, a pendant, a chain, another ring - in a bowl with running water for a day (at least 12 hours). The water will be saturated with silver ions. Plain tap water will do.

Rituals

When wiping the future amulet, use a clean napkin or cotton pad. At the same time, you must say in your own words: “All misfortunes go away, but protection and strength come!” Then put the ring on your hand and, over the course of a week, bring it to your lips from time to time and, cupping your hands, fill it with your breath. You can whisper your wishes, what kind of protection and help you can expect from him.

Conspiracies

After the item is cleaned and charged, you can speak to it. The effectiveness of the magic spell depends on which finger you wear the ring on. If you are talking about good health, getting rid of some chronic disease, quickly regaining strength, then it should be a copper ring without a stone and you should wear it on your thumb. To pacify a hot-tempered character, a silver ring is suitable.

You need to wear a charmed ring on your middle finger to find love, a worthy life partner, and build good relationships

Rings made of gold, silver, platinum attract the attention of the opposite sex, enhance emotionality, sensuality and empathy

Wealth and prosperity are attracted by the ring on the ring finger. This energy flow is responsible for material wealth and fame. The gem and the spell will strengthen it. A piece of gold will help strengthen family ties.

Silver rings are worn on the little finger. Suitable for shy, uncommunicative people, harmonizes space, strengthens intuition, and increases the protection of the biofield. The ring will help gamblers stop in time.

The plot must be clearly pronounced so that there are no discrepancies, and a specific task must be assigned to this particular amulet. At the end it is worth saying a final phrase. For example:

as I said, so it will be;
tongue, key, lock;
May it be so;
Amen, amen, amen.

The simplest conspiracy: “Wrap yourself around your finger, fill yourself with strength. Take away the trouble, protect me. From now on and forever. May it come true!”

Making an amulet, its activation

The symbol of the zodiac house of the Eagle is best made from wood - oak, on which the desired symbol is carved. An energetically charged product will perform many tasks for its owner:

development of a positive attitude;
combating laziness, acquiring time planning skills, correct prioritization;
protection from evil, damage, negative energy;
Orel helps to become a spiritually and physically developed person.

A product that was made with your own hands or purchased must be activated so that it is charged with energy and really begins to help.

Activation proceeds as follows - you need to light a white non-church candle and hold the product over its flame several times, saying out loud the appeal to the Eagle. The appeal states why the Eagle is needed and what a person wants to get from it.

If the Eagle symbol is made of metal, it is recommended to choose gold or silver

Origin story

Like all peoples, the ancient Slavs had their own astrological circle - a totemic yearbook. According to legend, the god Kolyada gave it to people. Godoslov, or the Svarog circle, consists of 16 palaces and symbolizes the rotation of the wheel of Time and the movement of the luminary across the sky. The halls were named after a bird or animal. Each of them corresponds to a specific patron god and symbol of plant origin.

The Svarog circle is the progenitor of the modern horoscope. But there is a significant difference between them, which lies not only in the different number of totems. Unlike the zodiac, the Slavic circle is a sacred system of knowledge that includes all aspects of the Universe and human existence in it.
