Seal of Veles. “Veles” is one of the most powerful and revered ancient Slavic gods, responsible for fertility and wealth. Our ancestors believed that Veles received his incredible strength from the forces of Light and Darkness and that is why our world is so dynamic. His power and wisdom were respected and feared at the same time, because he was able to tame all the elements and all forest animals. It was also believed that he could take the form of a bear or a wolf depending on the situation. Although the god has a rather formidable appearance, you should not think that he has a negative attitude towards people, everything is exactly the opposite - Svarog’s brother, who has colossal knowledge, taught the Slavs various arts and crafts. And only for a select few did he lift the curtain into the world of Navi and their mysteries.

Salt is also good at removing other people's energy. If it is not possible to travel outside the city where there is suitable water, you should place the product in a container with salt overnight. In the morning, rinse it under running water and wipe dry with a clean rag.
Another option is purification by fire. To do this, you need to wait until nightfall and retire to your room. You need to place three candles in a row on the table and light them. Hold the talisman alternately over the flame of each of them, mentally imagining how it is cleansed.
After removing someone else's energy, you should charge the Veles amulet. To do this you will need to do the following:
- Seclude yourself indoors. It is important that no one and nothing distract from the ritual.
- On the table you need to place objects that symbolize the elements: a container of water, a lit candle, a handful of earth or a stone.
- Place the product in the center of the table and focus on problems that require the help of higher powers.
- Mentally say all the tasks for the amulet three times.
- Then place the amulet on the ground, then in a container of water and hold it over the candle flame.
- At the end, take the artifact with both hands and lift it above the table to charge it with the power of the air element.
At night, you should wrap the amulet in a clean napkin or towel and leave it in a secluded place until morning. After this you can wear it.

Veles is a positive character in mythology, so his symbols cannot be used with evil intentions. The deity does not tolerate meanness and deceit, therefore he will mercilessly punish everyone who, with the help of his symbols, plans to commit evil.

Can Christians wear this amulet?
Even after the baptism of Rus', when Orthodoxy became the official religion, our ancestors continued to believe in the old gods. Their idols stood on the temples, their symbols were depicted in their houses, on clothes and armor.
At a certain point, a tradition arose of wearing an Orthodox cross with pagan symbols. Our ancestors believed that positive energy and protection could be obtained from various sources.
Mothers read prayers at the cradles of babies, and during this they could weave and embroider a talisman. This means that in traditions there are no prohibitions or restrictions for wearing Slavic amulets for Christians and representatives of other religions.
The official church considers any amulets and amulets as pagan symbols and denies them. If you want to receive protection and patronage from higher powers, you can combine the cross with other symbols. But for people who strictly follow the precepts of the church, it is better to refuse to wear such artifacts.
