The bull is a strong and powerful animal, which everyone associates with incredible strength and assertiveness. That is why it is used in many cultures as a symbol of success and prosperity. Feng Shui was no exception, according to which the bull talisman brings stability and career advancement to its owners. But for this to really be the case, you need to choose the right figurine correctly and place it in the most suitable sector of the house.

Appearance of God Veles

The image of Veles is associated with two representatives of the animal world: the bear and the bull.

History says that the Slavs kept a bear, which they used during rituals. The Slavic patron Volos also most often appeared to people in the guise of a large bear, in whose paws there was a large staff.

Among the ancient Slavs, Volos looks like an older man, has a long gray beard reaching to the ground and black eyes. God Veles is wearing black and white clothes. Veles can be considered not a warrior, but a magician, since only magic gives the opportunity to influence and receive protection.

Place in the house, types and effects of the bull according to Feng Shui

Since the symbol emits powerful yang energy, the best rooms for the figurine are the living room, dining room, office (workshop), as well as a computer or desk where you spend a lot of time. Of course, you can keep the figurine not only at home, but also at your workplace in the office. The most suitable places for a talisman are the career sector (north) and the wealth zone (southeast).

Let us now consider the most common images of a horned beast, which can be seen in shops and souvenir shops. By the way, in addition to the figurine, any image can be used as a talisman. According to Feng Shui, even a soft toy in the shape of a bull will do.

Cautions in using the talisman:

• The ox is an energetic animal, so you should not decorate Yin rooms with its image: bedroom, nursery, kitchen, pantry, dressing room, bathroom or toilet.
• Don’t use an image of a bull dragging a load (unless it’s money, of course) or pulling a plow. All this symbolizes hard, monotonous work and being overloaded with problems.

Russian soulfulness

Everyone knows the Russian folk tale about Kroshechka-Khavroshechka. The main character there had an assistant - the cow Pestrukha, which symbolizes a mother protecting her child from evil people, in particular from the stepmother. In the fairy tale, the main character calls Pestrukha Mother Cow. The cow helps Tiny Khavroshechka even after death, but for this the heroine should not eat cow meat, but bury the helper’s bones in the garden and water them daily. An apple tree soon grows at the burial site, thanks to which Tiny Khavroshechka finds an excellent groom and marries him, finally leaving the house of her evil stepmother.

Illustration from the fairy tale about Tiny Khavroshechka and her faithful cow.

You can talk about the role of bulls and cows in various beliefs, religions and mythologies for a very long time. Here we can recall both Zeus the bull and the hair-eyed goddess Hera, the Sumerian bull god Sin, who was the embodiment of the month. From all this the conclusion suggests itself that the role of this animal in the life of every nation is great. May the year of the ox bring people strength, perseverance, kindness and wealth. In turn, people need to become more merciful and kinder towards these wonderful animals.

Feng Shui bull figurine material

As I already said, even a soft toy or a poster with an image of a horned animal will work as a talisman, but it is better to choose a figurine made of a mineral, a valuable type of wood or metal, such as gold or bronze. In this case, the material transfers its energy to the talisman, thereby strengthening it.

The bull made of mahogany and other valuable woods serves as a symbol of male sexuality, high potency and fertility. At the same time, the horned powerful animal embodies female strength and fertility. That is why the talisman will bring good luck to a couple who wants to have a child. It is also very good to purchase a small statue of an animal made from an ornamental stone that you really like or suits your horoscope.

Influence

Volos is responsible for cyclical development, therefore the main spheres of its influence are the economic and livestock sectors, as well as agriculture. Therefore, Veles was considered the most popular God of the second circle among the Slavic peoples.

In the ancient Slavic world, Volos also patronized poets and scientists, as he was the deity of wisdom and prudence. It was believed that people with creative abilities are under the protection of Veles, and he always helps them in developing their talent.

Magic properties

A talisman dedicated to Veles is capable of pushing a person along the path of development. If it seems that the limit has been reached, you need to get a talisman. It will help you raise the bar and rise above yourself. Sacred power will lead to happiness through lifestyle changes or travel.

The following magical qualities of the image are known:

• Ability to resolve family conflicts. No one can remain calm on the road if all is not well at home. In order for the deity to protect his relatives, travelers brought him gifts.
• Ensuring fertility. A farmer protected by a symbol is successful in keeping livestock and growing plants.
• Enhancing male power. The Slavs considered the divine principle to be purely masculine.

The corner of the sign concentrates cosmic power

The pointed corner of the amulet allows it to attract and concentrate cosmic energy. Due to this, the owner is purposeful, achieves his plans, and believes in himself. His will is unbending, his luck is faithful.

A magical product will protect you from meeting an enemy, an envious person, and will protect you from harm.

How to clean and charge an amulet

Rituals are carried out outdoors, in a spruce forest. Salt is used for cleaning. The product is placed in a container with the product for a day. Can be put in salty spring water. Having completed the purification, the water is drained and the salt is burned.

The activation ritual is scheduled for the evening. Subsequence:

1. Place the item on the stump.
2. Place gifts to the deity (kvass) nearby.
3. Mentally turn to God, telling your wish.
4. Squeeze the amulet with your hand, imbuing it with inner strength.
5. Pour the gift onto the ground.
6. Leave without looking back.

Capabilities

Hair makes it possible to set in motion everything that surrounds it, and it cannot stop such a running cyclic action. The deity can transform into different representatives of the animal world, but most often he appears to people in the form of a bear, which is much larger than usual.

Despite the fact that all deities had magical powers, Volos had special magical abilities. He is capable of creating a variety of illusions and changing anything in the surrounding space at his own discretion, but such changes could not last long (one cycle), since divine power is tied to movement in the cycle.

Holidays

Holidays when God Volos was honored:

• from the twenty-fifth of December to the sixth of January - Great Veles Christmastide;
• from the fourth to the tenth of February - Small Veles Christmastide;
• the eleventh of February is Veles Day;
• from the twentieth to the twenty-fifth of March - Komoeditsa;
• from the twentieth to the twenty-fifth of June - Kupala holidays;
• from the twentieth to the twenty-fifth of September – Tausen.

The entire Slavic family treated the deities with honor, since the Gods always helped people, and they sacredly believed in their powerful power. God Volos is no exception, who was considered a special deity who attracts well-being and vital energy.
