Legend of the Veles Seal, meaning of symbols
Seal of Veles
According to a widespread Internet legend, the amulet or amulet Seal of Veles is an ancient Slavic symbol of the god Veles. Depicted as a bear's paw, or less commonly, a wolf's paw. The stylized images of both variants differ only in the number of fingers - there are five on the bear's paw, and four on the wolf's paw.
The origins of this legend originate in the totemic connection between the god Veles and the bear. The bear was the favorite animal form of God, in which he turned himself most often. Veles was called the cattle god, since he patronized not only wild animals and the forest, but also agriculture, cattle breeding and trade. In the past, the bear's paw, as a symbol of Veles the patron, was indeed used as a protective symbol. The peasants hung it as a talisman for their yard.
Slavic runes: meaning of tattoo
Not many people know that Slavic runes are a manifestation of writing. They have a deep historical meaning. Of course, it takes quite a lot of time to understand the meaning of each of them. However, in general, we can say that each symbol looks unusual in its own way. Their interpretations contain words such as rainbow, peace, strength, support, rock and much more.

Correct wearing of an amulet with the sign of Veles
The Veles talisman has ancient sacred powerful energy. Therefore, you need to wear it correctly.

In addition to its protective functions, the bracelet awakens the power of clairvoyance and telekinesis. If you do not remove it for 7 days, it can increase the physical strength of your hands. In addition, creative talent associated with manual labor awakens - drawing, clay sculpting or sewing. In order not to weaken the energy of the symbol, amulets and bracelets must be worn directly in contact with bare skin.
With the sign of Veles "Bull's Head" they create amulets for the home, which should be hung above the door, and not carried with you. This method provides better protection than a horseshoe hanging over the threshold.

Before a big and long trip, you need to hang the talisman around your neck and hide it under your clothes. It is recommended not to remove it until the end of the trip, so as not to attract trouble on the road.

Amulets in the form of the sun can attract the energy of the cosmos, which makes a person more purposeful and unbending.
Meaning of Wolf's Paw
A less common, but still possible, version of the Seal in the form of a wolf's footprint. The wolf is another hypostasis of Veles. To those who turn to it, the amulet, in addition to traditional protection, gives purposefulness, independence, strength of character and courage. Can demonstrate and enhance leadership qualities. It will help where you need to gain authority and reputation.
Important! If a person’s activities are associated with real risk and danger, it is better to choose the option of the Seal of Veles in the form of a Wolf’s Paw.
Tattoo Slavic patterns
In ancient times, the Slavs preferred to decorate their bodies with a variety of ornaments and patterns. They consisted mainly of geometric shapes: squares, triangles, rhombuses. They were also often supplemented with dots, crosses and spirals. In general, the main meaning of such drawings is fertility.
Of course, the main purpose of such tattoos is to demonstrate power and strength. Therefore, the addition was often a drawing of a crown, heart or inscription. In turn, women made such tattoos with the addition of a floral or foliage ornament. Thanks to these details, the drawing looked softer and more delicate.
How to activate and wear the Seal of Veles
First, it should be said about the material of the Seal. Traditionally, such things are made from precious metals. And not because of aesthetic preferences or considerations of prestige. It’s just that the properties of noble metals are best suited for creating amulets. Specifically for the Seal of Veles, silver is most preferable.
If for some reason metal is not suitable as a talisman material, an alternative option is to make or purchase it from wood. But the characteristics of the wood species should be taken into account.
Amulet Seal of Veles
Preparing a finished amulet for wearing includes its cleansing and activation. Purification is necessary for the purchased Seal. If it was made independently, this action is not required.
Cleansing is traditionally carried out using salt and running water. The newly acquired amulet should be placed in salt for a day. After a day, remove it and hold it under cold running water for several minutes. After this, the Seal is activated.
On the Internet you can find quite complex options for activating the amulet using elemental magic and offering prayers to Veles. However, it should be remembered that modern paganism, as such, does not have any formed magical traditions. For a person who is not particularly immersed in the traditions of Slavic neo-paganism, it is better to simply go to a secluded place in nature. There, sitting down on the ground, take the Seal in your hands and talk to the amulet, listen to it. You can also leave gifts under a strong, healthy tree - a little honey or good beer (pour under the tree).
Important! Immediately after activation, the amulet must be put on and worn for as long as possible, practically without taking it off. At least not less than 9 days. This is necessary for the Seal to properly “recognize” the owner and integrate into his energy.
Materials for making the sign of Veles
In ancient Rus', an amulet with the symbol of Veles was made from wood, on which an image of the required type of sign was carved. The classic option to this day is the symbol of an inverted letter A inscribed in a circle. Metal amulets, which are more resistant to adverse environmental conditions, are now more in demand. But creating a talisman with the Veles symbol from bone is strictly prohibited.
The most recommended noble metal for creating talismans is silver. It has the property of accumulating energy and protecting the owner of the amulet. Gold in this case is also suitable, but it has a weaker accumulative power. Options with bronze and brass should not even be considered.
It is strictly forbidden to make amulets with the sign of Veles for yourself; it is permissible only for close relatives. A talisman made for yourself will not only be useless to use, but can cause serious harm.
If the amulet is made of wood, it is necessary to use fresh, dense wood. You need to go into the forest yourself and cut down or chop the required amount of wood. After this, be sure to pay tribute to nature, thanking it for the gifts that it gives.
The following types of trees are suitable for making an amulet:
- oak;
- spruce;
- ash;
- poplar;
- willow;
- cedar;
- pine;
- hazel.
The use of spruce species has a particularly beneficial effect on the energy of the finished amulet.
Creation Rules
The main rules when creating an amulet with the Veles symbol using wood or metal are:
- presence of through holes;
- each element in the finished sign must be identical to the original and clearly poured or cut;
- mirror shape.
If it is impossible to independently make an amulet for your loved one from wood or metal, you can embroider the symbol on clothing, a towel or bed linen. Veles is a symbol that has a rather intricate pattern, especially the Bear Paw seal or the Veles Shield. Before embroidering, you need to find a clearer symbol with the correct image.
In the process of work, you should throw out negative, disturbing thoughts from your head. It is better to think about the person to whom the work is dedicated, about the good and kind deeds that he did for others.
It is necessary to embroider the symbol based on the lunar calendar
When is the best time to make a talisman?
The sign of Veles should be embroidered according to the lunar calendar:
- 1 quarter is suitable for embroidering a symbol for a child;
- 2nd and 3rd quarter - for teenagers and adults;
- Days 20 and 21 are special; during this period you need to do embroidery to recover from a serious illness;
- on days 4, 7 and 24, embroidery is created to attract success and material well-being.
It is also allowed to order or buy an amulet in a store, although it is not advisable. However, in this case, it is preferable to purchase the base and complete the remaining details yourself.
It is necessary to use durable natural threads made of wool, cotton or linen. When embroidering, you cannot make knots and select blue and red threads.
Tattoo Seal of Veles
Applying magical symbols to the skin in the form of a permanent design, that is, a tattoo, is a very controversial issue. Those wishing to do this should remember that the design, once applied to the skin, will continue to influence its owner even after laser removal of the tattoo, covering the design and similar manipulations.
Important! For this reason, such a tattoo in both versions of the Seal, both a bear and a wolf paw, should not be applied to a woman.
Tattoo Seal of Veles
As for men, a protective tattoo is acceptable for them - unlike the same runes, the Seal of Veles does not radically rearrange the energy of its owner. The only thing you will need to take care of is the skill of the person applying the tattoo, as well as an adequate image of the symbol.
In general, the Seal of Veles is a fairly universal amulet that is suitable for people who honor their roots and are interested in pre-Christian traditions. When choosing this symbol as protection, you should remember that Veles is the deity of light witchcraft and will not approve of dubious deeds. Those who turn to his patronage are required to lead a fairly conscious and healthy lifestyle.
