What is the significance of the Kolovrat amulet for men and women and how to activate it

The meaning of the Kolovrat amulet

The Kolovrat amulet is made in the shape of a circle, the center of which is the point of departure of the rays. The meaning of the symbol is associated with isolation and movement. The first part of the word “kolo” means a closed circle. The second part of the “gate” corresponds to movement. When connecting two parts, the decoding says about moving in a circle.

Another Slavic designation is the trajectory of the sun across the sky, when the interaction of three gods is shown:

• Svarog is the god of fire.
• Dazhdbog - the giver of warmth, goodness and wealth.
• Perun is the thunder god.

This leads to the conclusion that when wearing an amulet, people wanted to receive the energy of the sun, heat and divine power.

Outwardly, it resembles the swastika sign, but is not directly related to it. It began in the times of the ancient Slavs, who used the symbol in rites and rituals. When using it, they tried to replenish energy from internal reserves and acquire additional strength from the gods to accomplish deeds.

And in conclusion

Nowadays wearing Kolovrat is no less useful than in the old days. It will provide a direct connection with powerful solar energy, protect against manifested and unmanifested evil. Treat it with care, cultivate a good attitude towards the world in your soul, and you will receive a reliable ally in the implementation of your good intentions.

Types of Kolovrat amulet

The Slavic amulet is divided into types according to the number of rays:

• 4 – the symbol corresponds to fire. People who wear it attract the power of fire.
• 6 – speaks of protection by the thunder god Perun.
• 8 – combination of spiritual and material.

A Kolovrat with 8 rays is often found. The Slavs believed that it combined 4 elements and 4 seasons.

With eight rays, the amulet was associated with rebirth through constant movement.

Important! The outgoing rays of the Kolovrat are enclosed in a wheel, symbolizing the power of the god of fire Svarog. It enhances the effect of the amulet, giving infinity to a person’s energy.

Another classification is the division into types depending on the direction of the rays in the symbolic object.

The mystery of the symbol

Kolovrat symbolizes the solar disk and its constant rotation. It looks like a wheel (hence the first part of the name – “colo”). In the middle of the circle there are pairs of rays bent in one direction.

There are 3 options for symbol image:

• 4 – give support to the fire element and the protection of Dazhdbog;
• 6 – protection of Perun;
• 8 – intercession of Svarog and the power of the light gods.

"Vrat" means "rotation". The beams can rotate left and right. It is translated into modern Russian as “rotation of the wheel.”

It is interesting that in appearance Kolovrat resembles the famous swastika sign - once a symbol of Nazi Germany. There are even comparison photos online. However, it has nothing in common with fascism and violence. Apparently, the ancient sign, intended to serve good, was appropriated by the Nazis in order to enhance their power with solar energy.

Features of the direction of rays in Kolovrat

Due to the direction of the rays, the talisman can be called differently:

• In the direction of the sun's movement (clockwise) - Salt Kolovrat, which gives protection from evil spirits and gives energy and health.
• Counterclockwise - Anti-salt Kolovrat, which reveals magical abilities and imparts insight.

Depending on the direction of the rays, the amulet worn by women and men differed. The fairer sex had amulets with rays directed counterclockwise. Representatives of the stronger sex had to wear talismans with rays, the movement of which corresponded to the trajectory of the sun.

Example Anti-salt

In addition to protection from evil spirits and magical abilities, multidirectional rays symbolized:

Important ! Among the Slavs, a woman who wore a Kolovrat with backward-directed rays received energy with a kind of protection from diseases and misfortunes.

Solar signs

A sun sign similar to Kolovrat is found among many peoples of antiquity, but it is more common among the Slavs. Kolovorot is a Slavic symbol, the description of which was given above - this is one of the most powerful solar signs. Let's get to know them better. First of all, solar signs are amulets that protect their owner. Solar symbols were used by the inhabitants of Ancient Rus' to protect their homes from negative energy and evil spells. At the same time, the sun had several forms of image at once - morning, noon, evening, and together they made up the triune sun. There were the following solar signs:

• A simple solar symbol is an ordinary circle.
• On all four sides there is a circle with four rays inside.
• Six spokes - Thunder wheel.
• Eight spokes.
• The abundance of spokes is a multi-ray solar symbol. The knitting needles could be either straight or curved.
• The artistic symbol is a circle with various decorations.

The sun was perceived by the ancient Slavs as the personification of the victory of good over evil, therefore its symbols were used as protective talismans. And the Slavic sun god enjoyed special love and respect.

Our distant ancestors began to wear the Kolovrat amulet from early childhood, so the solar symbol was often carved on a cradle or cradle. This protected the baby from evil spells and the evil eye. Later, the grown-up boy began to wear the amulet around his neck or on his clothes in the form of embroidery. Often such a talisman had magical effects and was used in sacrifices and other secret rituals.

How does the talisman affect men?

Since the amulet was present among Slavic men in the form of a circle with rays directed clockwise, one could expect health and prosperity. He bestows victory and strength on the stronger sex.

To enhance the energy signal, men painted animal symbols on their talismans. For example, a talisman with a wolf characterizes the Kolovrat as a powerful and strong amulet. A man acquires the energy potential of an animal. The Slavs wearing the wolf sign wanted to be fast and dexterous in battle.

There were symbols with a bear, a raven or a rune. Each has its own meaning for men, based on the potential of the animal.

Example of a mascot with a bear

The warriors brought some kind of weapon, such as an ax, to the center. The owner of the amulet wanted to increase his fighting spirit and gain confidence in his courage. Such items symbolized good luck in battle and future victories over strong enemies.

Story

Kolovrat
Kolovrat is a sacred symbol of Slavic culture, intended to protect its owner. In ancient times, warriors took it with them on campaigns, as they believed that the amulet brought good luck and saved them from death. There are several types of amulet, differing from each other in the number of rays. There can be: 4, 6 or 8.

The hexagonal Kolovrat was given to people by God Svarog. He was not only the wisest of all the Slavic gods, but also glorified himself as a great blacksmith. Svarog forged this symbol on the armor and weapons of warriors during the Great Troubles.

Kolovrat symbolizes the greatness of the sun and its colossal influence on people. After the old Gods left, the Magi adopted their teachings and began to pass them on to people. The Old Believers placed this sign on the main city gate. By this they made it clear to the enemy that they would fight to the last drop of blood.

Currently, Kolovrat is a symbol of Russian nationalists (Russian National Unity), as well as Orthodox pagans.
Important! Various types of amulet can be used to develop self-confidence, but this task must be identified during the charging process. Of particular importance is the version of the amulet with the image of a wolf. It not only symbolizes a warrior defending his family, but also makes it clear to others that they have a strong personality in front of them, ready to take on a challenge at any moment. Possession of a Kolovrat warrior implies exceptional leadership qualities.

Connection with the modern world

Nowadays, there are people wearing the Kolovrat amulet. Many people associate its presence with the desire to acquire:

• Strength of spirit.
• Health.
• Positive attitude towards life.
• Protection from negative emotions and impressions.

Some young people associate it with magical protection and the power of the solar flame. Therefore, it is more often present among magicians and psychics.

The power of the talisman allows you to master the energy of the sun, necessary to achieve goals and fulfill desires. It helps you get out of difficult situations without damage and become more successful.

Important! Before using the Kolovrat, you should properly charge and clean it in order to take advantage of the magical properties and energy of the item.

Varieties

There are different types of talisman, each of them has a specific meaning and purpose. Each variety is distinguished by the number of rays in the sun. The owner of the four-rayed swastika is protected and patronized by the sun god - Dazhdbog. The six-rayed Kolovrat refers to another deity revered by the ancient Slavs, whose name is Perun. The eight-rayed Kolovrat denotes the relationship of the owner with various deities, including Svarog, who created the earth and breathed the power of life into it.

This sign has nothing to do with Nazi symbols.

The Kolovrat talisman, better known as the swastika, began to be used by the Nazis, applying the image to propaganda paraphernalia. The emblem looked like a four-rayed swastika, the rays of which go from left to right. Unlike the classic straight line, the Nazi emblem is rotated 45°. In addition, it is enclosed in a white circle depicted on a red rectangle. On various buckles and shoulder straps, the top of the circle was crowned with an eagle, since the eagle is a symbol that embodies power, speed, agility, immortality, and victory. Despite the direct association of the solstice with fascism, the sign has nothing in common with this ideology, because it has significant differences in functions and applications.

How to activate the amulet

It is recommended to make the amulet yourself. Many people purchase a ready-made version that requires charging and cleaning. If the process of getting rid of someone else’s energy has not gone through, its effect is weakened or directed inappropriately. It is necessary to clean an item when receiving it from another person and at least twice a year. When worn, it takes on negativity and stress, and when cleansed, it resets and recharges.

Afterwards, it requires charging to saturate itself with its own energy. The procedure is performed according to the following scheme:

• The bearer of the symbol squeezes it in his hand.
• Mentally you need to ask for intercession, health and benefits.
• Put the amulet on a rope and carry it with you for 3 days.
• It is forbidden to remove the amulet so that the invested forces are not lost.

Activation is a necessary step in using the talisman.
When charging, a person mentally voices his desires and urgent needs. The strength and power of the talisman depends on the correct execution of actions and maintaining it on your body for the specified time.

Tattoo

A tattoo of a rune or Kolovrat sign in combination with animal and plant motifs cannot cause harm. This is a symbol of goodness and light. That's exactly how he works. The owner of the tattoo is not prone to aggression and smiles more often. Kolovrat on any part of the body harmonizes vital energy.

What materials to make it from?

When you want to make a talisman yourself, different materials are used. The most popular:

• Metal products - made of gold, silver, copper and brass. Such amulets are durable. They are resistant to external influences. In practice, the type of material is not given special importance, but for some it is useful to know that gold Kolovrat is suitable for modest people. They will be more confident and empowered to achieve their goals. Silver items are chosen by young men and women.
• Wood – any wood is chosen as the base, from ordinary deciduous wood to fruit wood. Slavic men made it from oak, which gives strength and power. Women had amulets made of birch, which meant tenderness and care.
• Bone products are characterized by a fusion of the energy of the carrier and the source material. If you want to make a bone amulet, you need to take into account that the bones of noble animals, for example, a bull, are taken as the basis.

It is prohibited to use natural animal leather. This will affect the power of the amulet. The exception is when using a foundation obtained during ritual ceremonies.

Metal talisman

Who should wear the amulet and how?

Kolovrat pendant
The image of Kolovrat contains all the kindest and brightest properties that exist in the universe. They bring order and purity to a person, give harmony, promote revival after decline and depression, and also help to embark on the path of truth.

This symbol of the sun is suitable for anyone who has been affected by problems, poverty and negativity. With the help of Kolovrat, a person will be able to complete this stage of his life and begin a new cycle, while taking steps in the right direction.

The most common way to wear an amulet is as a pendant. Men tend to opt for a ring with the image of Kolovrat, since this massive symbol can easily be placed on the jewelry. Women prefer pendants; in rare cases, they embroider the symbol on their things. Children wear the amulet in the same way; in addition, it is placed on the child’s bed.

The amulet can be made of iron, wood or bones of noble animals. It can be worn on a chain made of any type of metal or on a fabric cord.

Important! Making a cord from genuine leather for wearing Kolovrat is prohibited. According to the ancient legend of the Slavs, the use of animal skins to create sacred objects is allowed only if certain rituals were observed when killing the animal.

Can Christians wear it?

Recently, the cult of paganism has begun to gradually revive. In connection with this, people who adhere to other religions began to become interested in the traditions and magical amulets of the ancient Slavs. Often, among those who have converted to Orthodoxy or Catholicism, there are those who want to wear the Kolovrat amulet.

Important! No one has the right to prohibit Christians from using pagan symbols, however, you need to know that the meaning of the swastika is in no way compatible with Christianity.

The disciples of Jesus serve only one god, whereas the pagans have a group of gods. It is unlikely that their deities will help a person who worships a “foreign” god. Moreover, the Christian religion destroyed all pagan sanctuaries along with wooden idols.

Cleansing

Cleansing and activation are carried out on the equinox or solstice days. This is due to the increased energy of the sun transmitted to the amulet. The effectiveness of talismans when charging these days is maximum. They convey great power, allowing a person to gain strength and get rid of negative emotions.

The cleaning procedure involves performing stages when exposed to three elements:

1. The first stage involves purification with water from nature (lake, sea, river, stream). It is necessary to wash the object so that the extraneous energy leaves and the negativity of other people dissolves. When it is not possible to go to the source, it is allowed to bathe the item in running water. The main condition is that it must move. Do not put the amulet in standing water (mug, jug). After immersing the talisman, you should wait several hours to remove the foreign energy.
2. At the second stage, you should bury the amulet in damp soil for several days. She takes away the negativity, clearing the amulet of other energy.
3. The third stage is accompanied by fire aging, when the object is placed in a fire. For a long time, a flame from a tree ignited with the help of branches, which had previously been struck by lightning, was used. Nowadays it’s difficult to find such a thing, so they take a candle flame (church ones won’t do). The amulet is passed through it several times.

Burying in the ground for purification
While it is not difficult to carry out all three procedures with metal and bone objects, wooden items can be damaged in a fire. After instillation, you need to spray it with water and immediately carry it through the flame 3 times.

Kolovart and astrology

Scientists believe that the symbol was originally used for orientation in the starry sky and helped determine one’s own position:

• By drawing an imaginary line from the constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor on December 22, June 22 (winter and summer solstice, respectively), March 21 or September 23 (spring and autumn equinox) at exactly midnight, you can see the elements of the symbol.
• And if you combine the location of the stars on these days in one photograph, you will get a complete rotation.

This fact is striking, given that the ancient Slavs did not possess any precise astrological instruments.

Can Christians wear it?

Before Christianity, people believed in Slavic gods. Afterwards, the Christian religion outlived the Slavic belief, so their signs have differently charged energy. Christians are prohibited from wearing Kolovrat. Their religion does not accept such rituals.

Wearing a talisman in the modern world is not considered evil or an example of following the swastika. Kolovrat in the form of a circle with rays gives strength to a person and helps to start things. You can simply make it yourself from wood or order it from a workshop from gold or silver. A properly cleaned and charged talisman will provide the energy of solar movement for a long time.

Male and female mascots

Moonlights were worn by representatives of the fairer sex, and in the times of Ancient Rus', almost every woman had such a talisman. As a rule, men's talismans were made of gold, bronze, brass (symbol of the sun), and women's ones were made of silver, the metal of the moon.

Kolovrat for men has a whole range of magical effects:

• helps create a barrier to the negative effects of evil spells;
• provides protection from higher powers;
• gives wisdom to solve complex life problems;
• in ancient times it protected on the battlefield.

Ladinets or Lunnitsa, the female version of the Kolovrat symbol, has its own effect:

• protects from the evil eye and damage;
• helps to find harmony in family life and marital happiness;
• It is especially effective in protecting a pregnant woman and her baby from evil forces.

If Ladinets is included in the Great Circle, his strength will double.

How to make a Kolovrat with your own hands

Kolovrat is a talisman that can be made using any technique suitable for the chosen material. Suitable for carving, engraving, casting and forging. Solstice will not reject modern technology. We sell pendants made of wood and metal, on which the image is applied with a laser.

Making your own symbol in the form of a talisman, an amulet, or just for decoration is literally done from scrap materials. For this you will need:

• wooden board measuring from 5x5 cm, thickness – small, up to 1 cm;
• a simple pencil, felt-tip pen or wood burner - whichever is more convenient;
• mechanic's knife;
• an ordinary sharpener and a small drill with a drill bit.

An image is applied to the workpiece - in suitable sizes and in the style that is most pleasant. When working with a pencil, the lines may be erased, so you will have to update them periodically.

When ready, use a knife to carefully give the external shape of the future symbol. Excess wood is removed from all sides. On one side there is an eyelet for threading a thread or chain.

After rough planing, fine rounding is performed. To do this, it is convenient to use a regular sharpener. When processing, it is important not to set fire to the wood - otherwise the workpiece will become unusable.

Once the external forms are ready, you can move on to the internal ones. Using the same or another, thinner knife, geometric carving is performed - it repeats the design and creates a three-dimensional figure.

The difficulty lies in the small size of the pattern and the tightness of the blade on all sides. The image gradually acquires three-dimensionality - with the removal of wood between the lines. The stage is completed by removing the material between the beams.

When all the cuts are made and the lines are completed, all that remains is to drill a hole for the thread. You can do without it, but it will be very useful for increased functionality of the symbol.

A more complex, authentic way to make a hole is to use the same knife. Due to the required small size of the opening, it will be more difficult to create it, but it becomes possible to create unusual shapes.

A qualitatively nicer option is made from ubiquitous plywood. The same steps are performed in a similar order, but the product turns out to be more refined and sophisticated. Reduced weight and a more aesthetic appearance make plywood Kolovrat (especially with the presence of burnt lines along the perimeter) pleasant to wear on clothes and bags.

A pendant in the form of a Kolovrat, made with one’s own hand, according to those who master subtle energies, has more energy than a purchased one. But buying Kolovrat and other Slavic amulets is not prohibited: there are relatively many offers for purchase on the Internet.

Although all you need to make is a simple tool and a board, as well as a little care when working with a sharp blade.
