Runic talisman Money Mill - meaning, rules of manufacture and use

Slavs

An object and locus endowed with demonic properties in folk beliefs. The combination of natural and cultural principles in the mill, the transformation of one substance into another, the use of the power of the elements (water, wind), as well as constant noise - all this determines the attitude towards the mill as a diabolical invention.

A mill, especially a water mill, as well as an abandoned and ruined one, is the habitat of mythological characters. They believe that a waterman lives under the mill wheel, a mermaid washes her hair in the mill, devils sit on the pillars of the destroyed mill, and a vampire lives on the roof. They try to avoid empty mills: the Karakonjuls celebrate weddings there and can drag a passerby to their place. The devil lures a peasant to the mill, grinds flour for him for free, but mixes it with sand, etc. Weasel, a demon animal, is also associated with the mill; the Bulgarians even call it the “mill cat” (vodenichno kote). If she gets into the habit of climbing into the chicken coop, special spell formulas are used to send her to the mill.

A miller, according to popular belief, must be acquainted with evil spirits, especially the water spirit[1].

The parts of the mill (wheel, millstone, skate, stone, etc.) due to their specific functions receive stable symbolic meanings and are often used in various rituals. Thus, you can protect livestock from death during an epidemic by burying a mill dam stolen at midnight in the gate. The rotating wheel of a mill can turn the course of the disease, so, for example, water that was used to wash the patient is poured onto it. It is also used in love magic[2]. Speed ​​and efficiency are associated with the constant movement of the wheel; it is on it that the girl’s first independent yarn is placed by her father, with the wish that his daughter’s work will be successful. Added to the magical properties of the mill and its parts is the purifying power of water that comes into contact with the mill. During difficult births, in order for the baby to be born faster, the woman in labor is sprayed with water from a wheel. Young people also washed themselves with this water on St. George’s Day in order to be agile and healthy all year round. It was believed that damage could be removed from a person by throwing his clothes into the water under the mill.

A mill, regardless of its type (wind, water, hand) in Slavic languages ​​is one of the most archaic and persistent metaphors for speaking and talkativeness [3]. The same metaphor serves to interpret dreams: a miller in a dream means a quarrel, an empty mill means useless conversations. Magical actions (mainly with the rattle of a mill) are based on the correlation between the mill and speech, aimed at making the child begin to speak.

In numerous Slavic proverbs, the work of the Mill and its parts is correlated with the speech apparatus [4].

The mill and millstones in riddles are indicated by the noise effect:

• rus.
  “Tah-tara-rah, there is a house on the mountains”;
• Bulgarian
  “A mad dog barks in the village”, etc.

Fairy tales tell of a miracle mill that grinds itself, winnows itself, etc. The construction of a mill is one of the tasks that the bride gives to the groom. In fairy tales about the stepdaughter, in legends about saints, the mill is one of the loci where the action takes place.

The Eastern Slavs are famous for the Yuletide games of mummers “Devil's Mill”, where the host is a bear or the devil. Western Slavs, Croats and Slovenes set up a “mill” at Maslenitsa, “remaking” old men and women into young people.

The mill as an allegory

Perhaps the “mill of time” is something that inexorably absorbs the past, present and future, turning it into small grains, dust, making people insignificant before the very essence of existence. “The mill of time” is certainly a concept with a deep figurative meaning. For a particular person, it represents something that indicates the vanity of his life, the insignificance of petty passions and desires.

The mill of time is able to grind all the sorrows and grievances, mix together the sorrows and joys that a person has ever thought and experienced, and at the output give a result, a certain personality, as a product of all the events experienced in the past and present. The mill is a kind of arbiter of destinies, which mixes everything and everyone, regardless of persons and positions.

The mill, as the basis of the metaphor, was not taken by chance. After all, this is a grandiose structure, which is sometimes quite difficult to stop, much less reverse. She can only move forward, destroying literally everything in her path, completely unaware of what hits her. As a rule, such structures stand for centuries, being involuntary witnesses of many generations of people, tragic and happy events.

Christianity

The symbolism of the Middle Ages knew the picture of a “mystical mill” into which the prophet Isaiah pours the grain of the Old Testament, and the Apostle Paul picks up the flour of the New Testament. In some images:

• the four evangelists pour grains,
• the apostles set the rivers in motion at the mill wheel,
• community leaders take flour,
• Jesus distributes the baked hosts among the believers.

Christ himself is the bread of life.

A windmill, along with scales, can symbolize humility.

DIY windmill amulet

Talisman Mill

Magicians make such a talisman to order from crystal. This helps to retain the energy inside the stone longer. Any homemade amulet quickly wears out and requires either updating or replacement. If you can’t buy a ready-made amulet, you can make it yourself. This will energize the owner and tune in to his energy.

The easiest way is to make a talisman for a wallet. The simplest thing is to draw on paper with a pen. You can spend a little more effort.

1. Using a compass or pattern, draw a circle on the cardboard that will become the base.
2. Cover it with white paper if the cardboard is dark.
3. Paint the blank with red or gold paint. These are traditional money colors.
4. Place a sign on the circle. For a red field - green, for a gold field - black. This is the most crucial moment. Runes must be drawn as clearly as possible. Any wrong line will distort the meaning. It is better to print the finished image and translate it in any way. For example, through translation.
5. For strength, the product is varnished.

It is better to do work when the moon is in its waxing phase or during the full moon. These cycles are associated with multiplication. For the effectiveness of the amulet, when making the amulet, do not be distracted and do not allow extraneous thoughts. You need to engage in visualization and communication with the talisman. The right mood plunges the consciousness into a kind of trance.

There are opinions that the image itself has power, so wherever it is: on clothes, on skin, on personal belongings, the mill will help in attracting money. This is wrong. The talisman starts the movement, unwinding it. Without ritual, the talisman will become meaningless. The talisman must be perfectly round. The material doesn't matter. Stone holds energy longer than wood or paper, but it also wears out. Maximum service life is five months. Old amulets are not thrown away, but kept at home.

Money mill symbol outline

Mill
This is a rune talisman for attracting money. There is no consensus about its origin. It is classified either as Saxon or Scandinavian culture. The symbol is called a money snowflake, a crystal amulet. It is mistakenly called Grotti's millstone, but this is a different symbol.

The mill contains four runes. Each is responsible for increasing the amount of money:

1. Establishing a framework for cash flow. This helps you get rid of debts and not accumulate them anymore. The sign will not allow negative energy to take over the owner’s mind. This is especially important for those who like to receive everything immediately, which results in debts and loans. This is the appearance of well-being. You can drive a top model car and carry a fancy phone in your pocket and give your entire salary to the bank, and spend the whole month sadly thinking about food. The described part of the mill will eliminate such behavior.
2. Empowering the mill with harvest energy. This is a common sign in any culture, since in ancient times the harvest enriched and brought prosperity. All known magical powers were called upon to increase the fertility of the earth and pacify the elements.
3. Profit sign. With him, any business becomes successful and brings increased wealth.
4. Rune Fehu. It goes from the center in all directions, which allows you to receive money from all sources, even unexpected ones.

The mill will not bring a ready-made bundle of banknotes. In any case, you will have to work for the appearance of money, but luck and cash energy flows will be directed to the owner of the mill.

The meaning of tattoos for men and girls

The mill has a similar meaning for both sexes. Girls prefer colorful tattoo options, complemented by birds, animals and flowers. The tattoo in this case is positive and means some detachment from reality. Owners of such body art consider reality to be too gray and try to turn their lives into a fairy tale.

For a man, the mill symbolizes perseverance, perseverance and determination. Young people with such a tattoo believe that a man should work most of his life, and it is physical labor that they recognize. They have a tough character and strong beliefs. For a man, the mill represents the belief that success depends only on the person himself and one should not rely on luck.

Symbolism in the sketch

The mill symbolizes wealth, but material well-being is based on a lot of hard work, and not on luck and fortune. The owner of such a tattoo is sure that nothing in life is given for nothing, and wealth can only be achieved through one’s own efforts. Considering that the mill does a very hard job, you need to work a lot and hard. Therefore, before applying a tattoo, it is better to carefully weigh your decision, because every design affects a person’s life.

A tattoo with a mill whose blades are in motion symbolizes constant success in business. Owners of such a tattoo are full of vital energy and can quickly restore strength. The tattoo also indicates good physical health and strength. If the picture shows water, this indicates the presence of an endless source of nutrition. People with such a body pattern will never be left without a livelihood and will be able to work until a very old age.
