To ensure a comfortable and happy life, our ancestors used various amulets. Among them is the Burdock of Happiness amulet, which was created to bring harmony, happiness and good luck to a person’s life.
Having such an amulet next to him, the owner becomes calmer, more attractive, sociable, and also attracts extremely pleasant people. This “helper” is suitable for everyone: women, men, and children. Can be made of silver, wood or fabric.
Origin of the amulet Burdock of Happiness
The Burdock talisman of happiness gives its owner courage and bravery.
Most Slavic amulets and amulets are associated with the deities who were glorified by our pagan ancestors, Navya and Pravya, and sacred holidays. However, the origin of the Burdock amulet is different.
This plant amazed our great-grandfathers with its resilience and will to live even in the most difficult times. They were sure that such a talisman would be able to hook and hold happiness, good luck, and health with its thorns next to its owner, and would provide him with protection from damage and the evil eye. Burdock, or burdock, has always been a good cure for many diseases.
Elements of the Burdock of Happiness symbol
The sign of the amulet can combine 3 elements: Orepey, Star of the Cross and Burdock. Sometimes a 4-leaf clover is added to the talisman, which is believed to bring good luck, and also a ladybug as a messenger of higher powers.
Orepei
Orepei looks like 2 rhombuses united into an infinity symbol, inside of which there are exactly the same, but smaller sizes. Orepei is a symbol representing solar energy.
Orepei's abilities:
- help in making decisions, finding a way out of a difficult situation;
- attract good luck;
- bestow optimism and joy of life.
He is able to harmonize a person’s soul and lead him to balance, tranquility, and happiness.

Star of the Cross
The star-cross is a square with forked outer corners, reminiscent of burdock needles. With these “thorns” the symbol attracted prosperity and happiness for the owner, establishing a connection between prosperity and higher powers.
Thanks to the Star of the Cross, a person’s intuition became sharper, and he began to notice signs that directed him in the right direction.
The star-cross is capable of:
- protect from evil spirits, damage and the evil eye;
- give the owner intelligence and wisdom;
- attract wealth;
- attract love;
- maintain health;
- give favor to others.
In addition, this is a symbolism of both human mutual love and the love of the gods.

Burdock
The combination of the first 2 signs creates a talisman. It is a diamond shape with protrusions on each side, and small diamonds in the outer corners of this figure. The symbol means wealth, prosperity, satiety and everything related to material goods.
All of these elements coexist harmoniously, while beneficially influencing each other. Other amulets may have the shape of a circle in which the symbol is located. The circle is an endless shield that protects both the talisman and its owner from outside evil.
What is the meaning of a talisman?
The numerous qualities that are assigned to a talisman are very diverse. Thus, in Kievan Rus, burdock was considered a symbol of happiness. Family values and a sense of duty came first at that time. But the sign has a much broader meaning. This is luck in all its forms. The wearer of the amulet will be lucky in any area and, as a result, happier:
- The talisman will attract successful acquaintances and profitable deals to the businessman.
- It will give inspiration to a creative person. In addition, scaring away bad energy will prevent harm to health.

Magic properties
When discussing the magical properties of the amulet, experts often come to different and sometimes sharply opposite conclusions. Some believe that our pagan ancestors needed a talisman only to ensure the prosperity of their families. But after studying the sources, the conclusion suggests itself that it had other functions.
Health promotion
The amulet has the ability to create a protective cocoon of cleansing energy around its owner. It removes stains from the aura, heals on an energetic level, and the well-being of the soul is reflected in the health of the body.

The ancient evil will also not be able to get closer to the owner, the Burdock needles will not allow demons to approach modern man, as they once did to the ancient Slavs.
Prosperity and luck
Attracting good luck is the main task of the talisman. The burdock catches the benefits in a square in the center, like a net.
People who have a talisman are always in a good mood and, thanks to their heightened perception of reality, are able to discern life prospects.
It will be useful for beginning businessmen, creative people, and, without a doubt, strong families, to whom the symbol will give tranquility, peace in the home, and help feed their children.
Protection
Any thorny plant or sharp object was revered by the ancient Slavs as a talisman against evil spirits and the evil eye. This is due to their ability to wound, cause pain, and dig into the body.
To protect against evil people and spirits, the plant itself with thorns, and not a symbol, was used. Here are some ways to use it:
- during pre-wedding rituals, it was the custom to sweep the road in front of the bride with a burdock broom in order to scare away evil spirits;
- the thorns were placed in the keyhole;
- burdock was braided around walls, windows, doors, and placed under the threshold;
- a bunch of burdock was placed in the coffin of a supposed witch or vampire so that it would cling to the undead and not let go of the grave;
- it was thrown into the fire if it was necessary to drive away spirits;
- plug up all the holes and holes in the hut to get rid of mice.
The amulet was used mainly on days of rampant evil spirits: Ivan Kupala, Christmastide, Spiritual Day. Even before nightfall, huts, barns, and stables were surrounded with thorns, and fires were lit in the courtyards to ward off evil spirits that could harm people and livestock and spoil the harvest.
Similar customs have been preserved in many modern villages. In the fall, housewives place burr heads between windows, in cracks, in mouse holes, under the threshold, so that no evil will enter the house.
