to the chronology, developed taking into account the movement of the central luminary of the Solar system.
Where did the sun come from? In Christianity, God created him. In paganism, it is God. Scientists think differently. The solar system is a system of planets, in the center of which there is a bright star, a source of energy, heat and light – the Sun. In one of the scientific versions, the Solar system was formed because of the explosion of one or more stars, about 4.5 billion years ago. The Sun star and the entire Solar System were formed due to a cloud of gas and dust particles that rotated in motion and, under the influence of their mass, formed a disk in which the entire Solar System originated.
Nevertheless, life on the planet appeared thanks to solar heat. All living things, including people, began to be born on Earth.
To this day, several chronicles and folk legends have survived that the Slavs revered the sun. The oldest of them belongs to the tenth-century Arab writer Al-Masudi. In his work «Golden Meadows», describing Slavic temples, he notices that in one of them holes were made in the dome to observe the points of sunrise, and that precious stones with inscriptions that predicted the future were inserted there. Another Arab writer is Ibrahim Ben-Vesif Shah in his writings writes that the sun was revered by the Slavs, and also that there was one of the Slavic peoples who liked to celebrate one of the seven holidays, the day of the Sun. Seven holidays were named after the constellations, and the feast of the Sun was the most revered. Every family had to have an image of the Sun, because the Sun was considered the protector of orphans and the patron of family peace and happiness. They turned to the Sun with prayer not only in trouble or in illness, but also constantly, every day as the lord of everything. The sun was considered the grandfather or father of the Slavic people, this fact is emphasized by an old song that occurs with minor changes in the epic of all Slavic nationalities. After all, we have only one root!
«Sunshine, sunshine,
Look out the window!
Your children are crying,
Asking for food and drink.»
The meaning of these simple words has a deep meaning. After all, if the Slavic people are considered the grandson of the Sun and are under his special patronage, then an appeal to him with a request for drink and food can be interpreted as a request for spiritual food, without which no person on Earth can do.
The Slavs depicted the sun in the form of a rotifer. The meaning of the word kolovrat – kolo is a circle, the gate is a rotation. The sun is a circle that rotates. Initially, kolovrat had four rays, which meant four continents. Then there were six rays, which meant the patronage of God, whose name is Perun. The eight-ray rotifer means the light of the Sun, as well as the heavenly Fire.
Both men and women can wear Kolovrat as a talisman. Men should wear a charm so that the rays are located clockwise. This talisman protects against evil forces, gives self-confidence and gives masculinity.
Women should wear this amulet counterclockwise. Thanks to him, the fair sex found happiness and love. Every Slav knew that an expectant mother should wear such a talisman during pregnancy. This amulet gave a woman protection from evil forces, helped to give birth to a healthy child and facilitated childbirth.
What is a swastika? The swastika is the oldest sign. The first mention of the swastika appeared in the eighth millennium BC. The word «swastika» itself originated in India, such an ancient symbol itself did not appear in India. The word consists of two Sanskrit roots: su – «good, good» and asti – «is, be», that is, «welfare» or «well-being. Currently, the value of this symbol is still great. Various authors associate the swastika with flowing water, air, flame, fire, the female sex, the union of the two sexes, the moon, the cardinal directions, various gods, etc. The most common version is the sun in circular motion.
If we believe the data from the time of 2 thousand BC, then the sun was represented in the form of a bird. In the monuments of India, the swastika symbolizes the sun, and in pre-Columbian America, the swastika was considered an emblem of the Sun god. In the Bronze Age, the image of a bird with a swastika on its chest, as well as a bird with a cross, was interpreted as a symbol of the solar deity. The swastika was introduced in the VII century, in China as a hieroglyph for the Sun. The swastika was considered not only as a solar sign, but also as a symbol fertility of the earth. The swastika was given importance as a symbol of the four main forces, the natural elements, the four cardinal directions centered on the axis. This is confirmed in medieval Muslim manuscripts, and has been preserved to our time by American Indians. In Western occultism, it was given great importance to zodiac rotations, the alchemical idea of the transformation of elements.
Swastika or Hitler’s star? The German swastika appeared in the early 20s of the last century. Unlike Slavic, it has the opposite meaning. According to one version, the German swastika carries the purity of Aryan blood. Hitler was firmly convinced that this symbol was dedicated to the victory of the Aryans over all other races.
Hitler himself claimed that he had put a symbol of the superiority of the Aryan race in the swastika, he himself wrote about this in a book called «My Struggle». In 1923, a congress was held, where Hitler managed to convince his colleagues that the black swastika on a white-red background was a symbol of the struggle against Jews and communists. The swastika was used paramilitary organizations long before the appearance of the Nazis in the political arena of Germany, as a symbol of nationalism. The soldiers of G. Erhardt’s detachment mainly wore this badge. The swastika became a prohibited sign; the distribution of the swastika was considered a criminal offense. This is indicated in paragraph 86a of the German Criminal Code. This happened in 1946, after the end of the Second World War.
The most significant difference between the Slavic swastika and the German one is the direction of its rotation. For the Fascists, it goes clockwise, and for the Slavs, it goes against it. In fact, these are not all the differences. The Aryan swastika differs from the Slavic one in the thickness of the lines and the background. The number of ends of the Slavic cross can be four or eight.
In Russia, Rosskomnadzor abolished the punishment for distributing swastikas on April 15, 2015.
In Slavic culture, the swastika denotes movement by the sun, and the other – against it. Movement on the sun means happiness, against it – misfortune. It is also interesting that the swastika that we used to see was a favorite symbol of Empress Catherine. She painted him wherever she lived.
The left-sided swastika is a counterclockwise rotation sign of purification, restoration. It also has the property of destruction – to build something light; you need to destroy the old and dark. Worshippers of this sign could wear their amulet with left-hand movements, this sign was called the «Heavenly Cross» and was a symbol of tribal unity and gave protection to the heavenly forces. The left—sided swastika was considered a sign of the autumn sun – collective.
The right-hand swastika rotates clockwise and denotes the beginning of all things – birth, development – it is a symbol of the power of the sun and the prosperity of the family, creative energy. This sign was also called Novorodnik or the Solar Cross. The sun sign and the swastika are equal in this case. It was believed that he gives the greatest power to the priests. Prophetic Oleg knew Ancient Wisdom, Ancient Vedas and wore this ancient sign on his shield. From these beliefs came the theories proving the ancient Slavic origin of the swastika.
Slavic amulets. The hope of protection from evil spirits was placed on the amulets – to protect them from evil, to take them away from their home, children and household. The swastika as a talisman is a sign that means the rotation of the Solar circle. At all times, the Slavs tried to protect themselves and their loved ones from evil, problems, slander, diseases and mental anxiety with the help of amulets. If we touch on history, the ancient Slavs worshiped the cult of the Sun, so Slavic amulets have always been with solar signs, the main task of which is to protect the person wearing them.
