You can embroider magical ancient signs at your own discretion. However, there are certain rules that must be followed while working. Embroidery of Slavic amulets and magical things is considered a sacred matter, so it must be treated properly. After all, every element in such an image has its own special meaning.
For the ancient Slavs, protective magic always occupied a special place. And creating amulets was a very popular activity. Special Slavic crafts, created with your own hands, given as gifts or found, helped protect you from almost any misfortune.
Embroidery of Slavic amulets is a huge potential that can be used at your own discretion. As a rule, embroidery of Slavic amulets is carried out in accordance with certain rules, adherence to which is strictly necessary.
Slavic amulets of the scheme were used to protect the hearth and could contain an image of fire, a house, or the goddess Makosh. Cross stitching was done. This method is extremely popular today. And national amulets created in accordance with the traditions of the Slavs can be used in modern society.
Rules for creating magic items
For the ancient Slavs, making magical objects that protected them from various problems was a sacred activity. By resorting to the experience of our ancestors, you can make an effective and efficient embroidery amulet with your own hands.
The main requirements when creating Slavic magical items that need to be embroidered:
Selecting material and threads for embroidery
Selection of a scheme is not the only preparatory activity. When choosing fabric, color and thread, choose what you like. When you touch the material, only pleasant emotions should arise; you should also like the colors. Most often, Slavic schemes contain red, blue and green colors.
The process of embroidering a talisman
Slavic embroidery amulets should be made only if the person likes the process and gives him pleasure. If embroidery is unpleasant, then it is best to make another amulet. A craftswoman should do needlework only when her heart tells her to. If you’re not in the mood or just don’t feel like it, you shouldn’t suffer and force yourself to do the work. By embroidering with pleasure, a person continues the tradition of the ancient Slavs, endowing the amulet with enormous strength and positive energy.
Storage area for accessories
Prepare in advance a place where all the necessary embroidery supplies will be located. You need to store threads, fabric and other accessories in one place. This place should be spacious and light, but at the same time, the unfinished product should be protected from prying eyes. Embroidery of Slavic amulets should be accompanied by positive thoughts and perhaps even dreams.
And if you are embroidering Slavic amulets for a gift, then in the process you should, as it were, sew all your wishes into the canvas. When the craftswoman thinks about happiness, prosperity and love, she charges her amulet with her positive energy.
Caring attitude and reading prayers
During the manufacturing process and when the embroidery is ready, you should be careful and attentive to the magical item. Such a talisman should be stored in a clean place where there is always order. And if this embroidery is for permanent use, then it should be in a visible place.
When the amulet is ready, you need to read the “Our Father” prayer three times while holding the magic object in your hands. In addition, it is recommended to repeat this procedure about once a month.
Following these simple rules, the embroidery of Slavic amulets turns out to be effective and strong. These rules will help you improve your life and will have a positive impact on all areas of your life.
Embroidery patterns for Slavic amulets
The choice of scheme must be approached with special attention. First, you should analyze for what purpose the amulet is made.
Depending on the goals, the most suitable scheme is selected. Some amulets can protect from negative influences and evil people, while others can also attract good luck, prosperity, love, health and other benefits.
Threads for creating a magic item
For the ancient Slavs, embroidery of amulets was of great importance.
The type of thread had a certain influence on the effect of the magic item:
- silk
Great for making patterns that are aimed at maintaining mental clarity, attracting good luck in the work sphere and achieving your goals. - cotton
Perfect for permanent protection from black magic and negative influences. - wool
Helps get rid of damage and the evil eye when a person feels the presence of these influences. - linen
It has a calming effect and is recommended for embroidering solar symbols.
Charm pattern color
Embroidery of amulets requires a serious attitude towards the choice of the color of the future pattern.
- red is a powerful amulet and success in all endeavors, as well as in personal life;
- yellow – health, joy and luck;
- green – connection with nature, calm and strength;
- orange – establishing new contacts, connections and finding friends;
- blue - changes in life, a new road;
- blue – calm and tranquility;
- brown - success;
- purple – harmony and faith;
- black and white - intuition;
- pastel colors - the end of the search, peace.
Schemes of Slavic amulets, which help protect against various troubles, are made in a red-orange color scheme. Bright red shades, including yellow, are also suitable for treason and betrayal. For children, amulets embroidered in black and red colors are recommended. Financial well-being, as a rule, is attracted by a pattern where the embroidery of amulets is green.
The magic of the home
From time immemorial, cross stitching has been considered an art, and embroidered amulets have been considered effective protection against dark forces. Almost all Slavic houses had a special amulet for the so-called hearth. This magical item protected the peace and well-being of the entire family and home.
As a rule, you can embroider a cross to protect the fire at home. The embroidery of the fire amulets should be red-orange. It is recommended to place the canvas in the living room or kitchen. The image of a house on a canvas is also considered a symbol of the hearth.
A beautiful garden or tree is embroidered around the house, which will be a symbol of health and well-being. On paintings of the hearth, a tree can be a sign of procreation. Solar signs are symbols of eternity and integrity, spirals are signs of wisdom and intuition, and squares attract material wealth and well-being.
Patroness of the household
In the culture of the ancient Slavs, the Makosh symbol and its image diagrams became widespread. It denotes a connection with creativity, fertility, and home. As a rule, Makosh is considered a women's amulet, the patroness of needlework, home, economy and destiny.
Makosh, embroidered with a cross, will bring joy, abundance and prosperity to the house. And it promises the craftswoman good health and the talent to run a good household. In addition, embroidered amulets of the female type endow a woman with intuition and foresight. Schemes of the Makosh symbol - a red rhombus with dashes and dots. The red color of Makosh also enhances the protective effect.
The ancient Slavs held the goddess Makosh in high esteem, since her cult dates back to the ancient cult of agriculture. Embroidery amulets with the image of Makosh - a symbol of the feminine principle, a sign of the mother of all Slavs. Makosh is associated with water, and in ancient times girls threw wreaths into a stream or river, worshiping this goddess. These embroidery amulets cannot be carried with you; it was customary among the Slavs to place a cloth with a symbol in the house. While at home, the amulet protects both the craftswoman and her entire family.
Embroidery amulets were used by our ancestors. For the Slavs, various cross stitch patterns had a special meaning. The patterns of the goddess Makosh, the image of the hearth, the protection of the house - each individual magical object had its own power and its own location. Embroidery of amulets for the household and home, to protect and maintain the hearth, should take place in a calm environment, and the craftswoman should be in a good mood. These conditions are the key to the effectiveness of magic.
WITH a fabulous bird, a proud horse, a female figure, a strange tree, radiant circles... Who and when came up with these images, passed on from century to century? What did they mean?
E Even our distant ancestors decorated their products with simple ornaments. Man sought to attract the good forces of nature to himself and protect himself from the evil ones, and he did this with the help of his art.
WITH Man expressed his concepts about the world using conventional signs: a straight horizontal line denoted earth, a wavy horizontal line denoted water, a vertical line turned into rain; fire and the sun were depicted with a cross. The pattern was built from these elements and their combinations.
D a zealous farmer endowed natural phenomena with actions and feelings inherent in living beings, putting them in the form of birds, animals, and fantastic creatures. In this way, a person expressed his ideas about the world in images.
Sh Whether centuries - Russian embroidery has not disappeared, passing from generation to generation.
WITH The sun has long been revered by all agricultural peoples. "It is not the earth that gives birth, but the sky"- says the Russian proverb. How elegant and festive the objects of peasant life look, decorated with solar circles - symbols of the Sun!
ABOUT The image of the sun occupies one of the main places in home decoration. The sun in the form of round rosettes, rhombuses, and horses can be found in various types of folk art.
R The Russian peasant has lived off the land since ancient times. He associated the earth and its fertility with the image of the mother. The female figure is a deity who expressed ideas about the earth that will give birth, and about the woman who continues the family. This image is called by different names: the great goddess of the earth, fertility, the mother of the damp earth, Makosh, which means “mother of a good harvest.”
AND The female figure is always associated with symbols of fertility: trees, birds, animals, sun signs. Look how conditionally it is solved. Branches often sprout from the body of the goddess, and instead of her head she has an image of a rhombus - an ancient sign of the sun. Sometimes her figure resembles a tree.
P look at how this image in embroidery echoes the image of a clay woman - the same gesture of hands raised to the sky. On the hems of such clay figures were depicted symbols of the sun and grain shoots. A female figure with her hands pointing upward symbolized the unity of the forces of earth and sky, on which human life depended.
Ancient embroidery
P An excellent example of the use of ornament is folk embroidery.
IN Embroidery was used to decorate towels, wedding valances, tablecloths, curtains, festive shirts, white canvas sundresses, light outerwear, hats and scarves.
WITH There is an assumption that embroidery was used to decorate those parts of the costume through which, according to our ancestors, evil forces could penetrate the human body. Hence the main meaning of embroidery in ancient times - protective. The collar, cuffs, hem, and neckline were embroidered with a protective pattern. The fabric itself was considered impenetrable to evil spirits, since its production involved objects richly furnished with incantatory ornaments. Therefore, it was important to protect those places where the enchanted fabric of clothing ended and the human body began.
IN The embroidery was done mainly with red threads; it was given special significance. Its shades are varied: scarlet, currant, poppy, lingonberry, cherry, brick...
Sh You, who made ancient embroideries, are countable. That is, for each stitch the threads of the fabric are counted. The design is not transferred to the fabric in advance, but only its location and size can be marked with large stitches. The most common types of counted stitches are “painting”, “set”, “counted stitch”.
Materials and fabrics
Cotton threads are best suited for constant protection from the evil eye and damage.
Silk good for maintaining clarity of thinking, helps in difficult career-related situations.
Wool protects those people who, alas, have already been touched by evil. It closes gaps in your energy. Embroidery with wool is done on clothing in the neck, heart, solar plexus, lower abdomen, that is, where the main human chakras are located. Silhouettes of animals are usually embroidered with wool (those that you like, to which you are intuitively drawn), less often - trees and fruits. You should not embroider birds and stars with wool. But the sun is quite suitable, it will constantly protect you from the cold and darkness in life!
Linen has a calming effect, “works” especially well when using ancient symbolic patterns - when depicting the sun, stars, birds, trees.
Attention! You should not embroider several different protective patterns on one thing; it is better to choose a separate thing for each of them - otherwise the result of such embroidery will be some kind of energetic confusion. This also applies to the material from which the threads are made - there is no need to use several types of material in one pattern. In addition, know: it is customary to make protective embroidery smooth, without knots - knots break the energetic connection of the embroidery with its wearer and impede the smooth flow of energies.
Location and color of embroidery
IN It is important to do protective embroidery without knots, since knots break the energy connections of the embroidery with the wearer. Embroidery locations:
1) traditional - circular (collar, belt, sleeves, hem).
2) non-traditional - that is, any that perform different protective functions:
Protection of the love sphere - red-orange patterns, in which circular and cross-shaped shapes predominate;
Protecting a small child from misfortunes - the silhouette of a horse or rooster, red or black threads; for an older child, a school student - a blue-violet color scheme, which protects against severe mental fatigue;
Blue or golden-green embroidery helps to successfully conduct business in any field of activity.
DIY amulets
WITH When creating amulets, you must follow some rules.
Rule one. Charms cannot be made for yourself.
Rule two. No one can force someone to make a talisman for themselves or beg them to do it. Amulets are made only of good will and from a pure soul.
Rule three. The most powerful amulets are those that are made for you by your blood relatives: father, mother, brother, children.
WITH Traditionally, marital ties are not considered consanguinity, but if the marriage is harmonious and happy, mutually created amulets also have great power.
TO By the way, there is no need to invent anything here: the most powerful marital amulets are wedding rings. True, it is better if they are, as in the old days, silver, not gold. In addition, wedding rings must be smooth, without any patterns or stones. Unlike other magical items, wedding rings lose a significant part of their magical power when inserted with stones, even the most precious ones. Wedding rings should be worn constantly, not taking them off even while sleeping. A ring removed by at least one of the spouses weakens the protective forces, so inextricably fused are these rings together. This is an example of so-called paired magic items.
Rule four. You need to be very careful when choosing materials for amulets, because often a material (stone, wood) that is good for you is completely unsuitable for the person for whom you are creating this amulet.
Rule five. In the process of creating a talisman, you must constantly think about the person for whom you are making it, keep his image before your mental gaze, feel his energy, mood, character, needs.
E If you strictly follow all five rules, it is likely that the amulet you made will really be able to protect its owner from many troubles and misfortunes.
WITH The safest, most affordable and convenient materials for making amulets are ordinary threads: wool, linen, cotton. And embroidery has been considered the simplest amulet since ancient times. It was traditionally present on any fabric, towel, or clothing. The main thing in amulet embroidery is color and pattern. The color scheme should correspond to the part of the spectrum that the embroidery is intended to protect.
Protective embroidery of Slavic children's clothing
D Children's clothes were usually sewn from parents' old clothes - not only and not so much because they have already been washed many times and are therefore soft and will not harm or rub the child's skin, but because they have absorbed parental energy and strength and will protect them. , will protect the child from the evil eye, damage, and misfortunes. The girl's clothes were sewn from her mother's, and the boy's, of course, from his father's, thus predetermining the correct development depending on gender - the strength of motherhood was transmitted to the girl, and masculine strength to the boy.
TO When the children grew up and already acquired some kind of their own protective power, they were entitled to their first shirt, a new one. This was usually timed to coincide with the time of the first age initiation - at three years. From the age of twelve, a girl received the right to wear her own (though still a girl’s) outfit, and a boy was entitled to his first pants.
T Since for children under three years of age the clothes were converted from their parents’, the protective embroidery on them, of course, remained the same, the parents’. Changing it was not only inconvenient and impractical, but also impractical - after all, in addition to its protective function, it also provided a connection between generations, kinship and continuity. So, if the child’s father was a hunter, then the amulets on his clothes were associated with hunting, and it was they who were passed on to the boy with these clothes. In the same way, through the female line, the craft was “passed on” to the girl. Or rather, it was not the craft itself, but the power of many years of parental experience that protected the child in it. Everyone protects in their own way, right? A weaver will protect her cloth with a special pattern, a spinner will protect it with nauzes, a hunter will protect it with an animal’s fang... And the result will be the same.
A The protective embroidery for a child’s own clothes was already different from the amulets of adults. Firstly, the color of protective embroidery for children was always red, while for adult clothing it could be different. Thus, women often used black in addition to red in embroidery - the color of Mother Earth, thus trying to protect their womb from infertility. Men often needed blue or green colors for amulet - blue protected from death from the elements, green - from wounds. The children did not have this. It was believed that children were under the care and protection of their clan.
N and on a girl's shirt, the embroidery was mainly along the hem, sleeves and necklace, while for a married woman - the chest, collar, the embroidery along the hem was wider - it also reflected a new relationship, belonging to the husband's clan.
ABOUT The main protective symbols for the girl were: Goddesses-patrons of fate, a symbol of the clan, tree ornaments, a symbol of the patron of her birthday, symbols of the earth (again, different from the female symbols of the earth - for those it was mainly represented as either plowed or already sown) and women's crafts.
M Boys (like girls) up to the age of twelve wore shirts without belts. The main symbols protecting boys were considered: symbols of fire, solar symbols, images of totem animals, of course, also the symbol of the patron clan and the patron spirit of the birthday, bells and symbols of men's crafts.
D Once they reached adulthood, boys and girls could also wear common amulets.
P Upon initiation at the age of twelve, the boy’s amulets changed and became (like the girl’s) more gender-specific. A belt appeared and, of course, there were fewer amulets - after all, its own strength grew.
IN Images of Gods already appeared in embroidery (for children they were simply too strong, not allowing the child to develop his own “immunity”), no longer so much for protection as for patronage, for young girls - symbols of fertility, for young boys - military ones. Of course, neither the girl nor the boy needed them.
TO In addition to embroidery on clothing, many items that were hung over the baby’s cradle, a girl’s or boy’s bed, and then worn on the shoulder or belt, often served as children’s amulets.
IN All this performed not only protective and protective functions, but also served as a connecting link between man and Nature.
Ornaments
ABOUT ornament arose long before the advent of writing. This is confirmed by the fact that even ancient man, who dressed in animal skins, warmed himself by the fire, dug dugouts for his home, and decorated household items with ornaments. On clay vessels and labor tools of ancient people you can see the simplest patterns: dots, straight lines, wavy lines, diamonds.
AND It is known that ancient man was a hunter. He knew that the beast's power lay in the tusk - this was his weapon. The tusk or its cut was drawn in the form of a diamond. This sign contained strength and power. Therefore, ancient man painted it on his body and on the objects that surrounded him.
N rhombuses running at each other are a sign of a happy hunt, good luck, a sign of life, fertility. In order for the fields to be generous with harvest, a person asked the Heaven, Sun and Earth for good luck and cast spells. To do this, he repeated patterns: wavy lines symbolized water; horizontal - ground; oblique - rain crossing the path to the sun; the points between them are grains thrown into it.
H Often ancient masters depicted signs that designated the sun. These are solar signs.
WITH Over the millennia, the sun has received a great variety of image options. These include a variety of crosses - both in a circle and without it. Some crosses in a circle are very similar to the image of a wheel, and this is not without reason: a person saw how the sun moved, that is, “rolled” across the sky, like a fiery wheel.
M Ancient ornaments can reveal many secrets. By solving them, we begin to understand that the language of the symbols of our ancestors conveyed to us their attitude towards nature. Bowing before her, as if asking her for mercy, protection, patronage, the ancient master drew with his hand unique spells in the form of an ornament.
Z Let us note that the people carefully selected from a variety of signs and carefully preserved only those that, in their opinion, contributed to goodness, a good harvest, abundance, and good luck.
The essence of amulets
WITH The meaning of the amulets exactly corresponds to their name: their calling is to protect people, especially during hard times, during periods of military conflicts, terrorist attacks and other adversities. In other words, to protect its owner from any directed negative impact, whatever it may be and wherever it comes from. Negative influences can be purely physical influences - such as diseases (which, by the way, are often caused not only by natural causes, but also those that have overcome us due to the evil eye or damage). Charms can protect their owner from any impact on his psyche, soul, or emotional sphere. They will protect you from the imposition of someone else's will, love spells, suggestions from the outside and from severe depression.
ABOUT guards are experimentally selected magical objects over the course of many centuries, after studying which our ancestors came to the conclusion that they can guard and protect us from unfriendly forces. There are different types of amulets. These are beads, bracelets, protective embroideries on clothes, the patterns of which are stylized symbols of ancient gods or patrons of the family, decorations on windows, shutters, trim, above the porch and roof, above the gates of the house.
M Today we have practically lost the everyday defense skills that our ancestors used. And this can hardly contribute to our quiet life. With the disappearance of strong everyday protection, we find ourselves very easy prey for malevolent forces from the shadow world. They easily penetrate our lives, and most often we don’t even notice it. We go to doctors, complaining about weakness, irritability, insomnia, general malaise, that “something is wrong with me, doctor.” How can a doctor help us in these cases? Nothing - such ailments are not his profile at all.
D Let's now move from general reasoning to more specific ones and try to understand the mechanism of operation of the amulet from the point of view of its energy-informational properties and capabilities.
IN The effect of amulets is associated with the colors of the spectrum of the human aura. By putting on a talisman of the appropriate color, we get the opportunity to quickly patch up energy breakdowns in one or another part of the aura, which can be dangerous to our health and even life. From the point of view of a person who is able to see the aura, this will look like an increase in the glow of a certain color of the aura when putting on an amulet (more details about colors will be discussed at the end of the article).
TO What amulets can be useful to us? Of course, the most powerful will be your personal amulets, passed down in the family by inheritance: earrings, rings or rings, beads - any thing that, according to legend, brings happiness in family life. More often, such items are passed down through the female line - rings and earrings; less often through the male line - knives, belt buckles. If your family does not have such things, you will have to choose them yourself, and this is not easy if you do not have pronounced psychic abilities. Therefore, let's talk about the simplest, but at the same time very effective remedy. These are protective embroideries. You should embroider flowers and figures that carry a traditional protective meaning: silhouettes of a horse, dog, rooster or fairy-tale bird with a woman’s face. These symbols come from the times of cults of pagan gods and symbolize protective magical creatures that are friendly to us. It is especially convenient to use protective embroidery and appliques for children's clothing, since it is difficult for children to constantly wear beads, rings or bracelets.
IN In general, there is such a law: a truly strong amulet cannot be bought. It should be “found” among the things that were passed down in your family by inheritance. This doesn't happen very often. But someone has to start any tradition, right? Why not, if your family doesn’t yet have traditional amulets, don’t you create one so that it can be passed from hand to hand - to your children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren? Let's try?

T Now all you have to do is try to put everything together - color, type of thread, pattern - and make protective embroidery for a loved one, deciding first of all what kind of trouble you are protecting him from.
Star. The symbol is very multifaceted.
1.Star half (two-color – Eduard Volkov)
“The Star of the World, the Star of Rodolad. In the Rodolad tradition, popularized by Ukrainian Rodnovers, this Star is precisely the symbol of the star half and the basis for a prosperous and joyful family union. In the amulet for meeting the star half, I depicted this star by analogy with the Wedding Party, where two colors symbolize the masculine and feminine principles. Here, too, the rays of the star are painted in different colors (in my version - silver (lunar, feminine) and gold (solar, masculine). Therefore, this sign alone should attract your soul mate."
2.Person designation:
3. Star of Lada-Virgin (8 equal, even rays, the main rays look straight up, other stars have them at an angle)
There are two stars here, the Lada star is the larger one:
4.Perunov cross (8 rays connected in two, more like a cross). One of the symbols of Perun: an eight-pointed guiding star (it can still be seen on embroidery, knitted ornaments, and wood carvings)
The “Perunov Cross” is found in body amulets, under roof ridges, on windows, and in northern embroidery. All these signs personify the power of the god Perun - the power of heavenly blue fire, which strikes with thunderbolts, destroying all evil spirits on earth.
“Perun’s Cross” personifies the unity of all the forces and manifestations of the power of God - power never stands - it moves, it can protect, punish, but it also gives the germ of good - and all this is united in God.
5.Star Alatyr (Cross of Svarog)
The eight-petalled star, an ancient symbol of the folding and unfolding of the Universe, is Alatyr, the dawn-stone, on which the Gods rest and gain strength, Alatyr-stone is the basis of the world. From this name comes the name altar, altar.
Alatyr is the Eye of the Family, from it shines the Light of the Most High Family, God's grace, which it bestows on everything that exists and bears. All the wisdom of the Universe is carved on Alatyr. Alatyr is embroidered on the shirts of knowledgeable people, or as a talisman for a long and dangerous journey.
The sign is suitable for both men and women. They embroider on towels when they are dedicated to Temples, on sacrificial tables, Pokuttya - the Symbol of the Family. All the numbers and cuts (runes), svargs, circles, tri-heads and two-heads, snakes and other sacred signs are hidden in it, for it is the basis and the end. All other amulets are only small manifestations of it.
Alatyr as a symbol of the harmony of the Universe is also an image of a temple. If the upper flowers are arranged like a cross (vertically), then this is a temple of solar (male) power, if like a ridge (diagonally), then it is a temple of lunar (female) power. Embroidered on both men's and women's shirts, it cleanses and fills with solar power (vital) or lunar (understanding of Magic).
"Male" (large) and "female" (smaller)
Lada

Lada is also one of the older Rozhanitsa. There are only three women in labor, the two older ones are Lada and Makosh, and the youngest is Lelya.
For women in labor, there is another wonderful amulet, Lada, giving birth to Lelya, or in other words, double Labor (I couldn’t find the picture, but if I find it, I’ll definitely post it!)
Lada symbols:
1. Lada was depicted as a figure of a woman with her arms down (hands on her hips).
2. The Lada Cross of the Virgin Mary, also known as Ladinets, is a sign used in amulets for girls, from infancy to marriage. Symbol of Love, Harmony and Happiness in the family. As a talisman it was worn mainly by girls in order to have protection from the “evil eye”. And so that the strength and power of Ladinets was constant, he was inscribed in the Great Kolo (Circle).
3. Star of Lada-Virgin (see above in Stars)
4. Another star or cross of Lada, also known as another Ladinets, used for married women, to preserve the family, for peace and harmony in the house, as amulets for the home, the family, and the mistress herself.
5. Another version of Ladinets for a married woman is a lattice inscribed in a circle. Anyone who has such a sign in their home will always want to go home after work, since there will always be comfort and peace, joy and happiness in the house. And the children in such a house will be healthy and happy. And it is useful for the owner of such a house to sometimes wear the Slavic symbol of Lada.

Ladinets is also a popular and simplified name for the “Kolo-Ladnik” amulet.
Ladinets is a pair to Kolyadnik (Rodovich). Together they personify the feminine (Ladinets) and the masculine (Kolyadnik) principles, and form a heavenly family. The Slavs called the Goddess Lada the great Mother Goddess, or the Woman in Birth. It is Kolo (the circle, the feminine principle) and the 8 elements (the symbol of infinity) that emphasize the feminine nature of the amulet, the harmony and embodiment in eternity of all living things.
Kolo-Ladnik or Ladinets can be seen paired with Kolyadnik inside a family home - these are symbols of the giving and receiving principle, they personify the unity of a man and a woman, and are swirled in a whirlwind of solar movement, which is embodied in 2 amulets.
Ladinets is given to a woman, regardless of her marital status. If Ladinets is worn by an unmarried girl, it reveals femininity, feminine qualities and character traits in her. Ladinets will help a married woman give birth to healthy children, promote family well-being, and maintain Peace, Harmony and Harmony in the house.

Amulet - from the word “protect”, “protect”. Protective symbols have been known since pagan times. Our ancestors embroidered, carved wood, sculpted dolls and believed that they would protect them and their home. Protective embroidery is still one of the most powerful protectors.
.jpg)
We are the descendants of the Slavs and we have our own symbols and traditions that we need to study and skillfully use for the benefit of ourselves, our loved ones, our people. However, it should be noted that amulets help, and will not do everything for us.
A talisman is a kind of accumulator of the owner’s mental energy for the fulfillment of his plans. Due to ancient signs that resonate with various forces of the Universe, the amulet is capable of tenfold increasing the internal potential of its owner, strengthening or neutralizing certain traits of his character, and providing him with the necessary physical and spiritual forces.
Rules for creating amulets
1. Amulets cannot be made for yourself.
2. No one can force someone to make a talisman for themselves or ask them to do it. Amulets are made only of good will and from a pure soul.
3. The most powerful amulets are those that are made for you by your blood relatives: father, mother, brother, children. Marital ties are traditionally not considered consanguinity, but if the marriage is harmonious and happy, mutually created amulets also have great power.
4. You need to be very careful when choosing materials for amulets, because often a material (stone, wood) that is good for you is completely unsuitable for the person for whom you are creating this amulet.
5. In the process of creating a talisman, you must constantly think about the person for whom you are making it, keep his image before your mental gaze, feel his energy, mood, character, needs.
The safest, most affordable and most convenient materials for making amulets are ordinary threads: wool, linen, cotton. And embroidery has been considered the simplest amulet since ancient times. It was traditionally present on any fabric, towel, or clothing. The main thing in amulet embroidery is color and pattern. The color scheme should correspond to the part of the spectrum that the embroidery is designed to protect
Tips for making embroidered amulet:
1. Do embroidery without knots. Fasten the thread without knots, as they negatively affect the amulet.
2. To protect against betrayal and betrayal, make embroidery in orange-red tones.
3. If you are preparing a talisman for a child, embroider some animal with red or black thread.
4. In order to make a talisman that will protect a schoolchild from aggression, embroider something with blue or purple threads.
5. To improve financial well-being or protect business from risks, embroider with green threads. Green is the color of money and will definitely help you in any business endeavor.
6. Embroidery with black threads will help you get pregnant and protect against infertility.
7. To protect your health, embroider a tree, or even better, a green spruce. The tree has always been considered a symbol of longevity, which is why they talk about the family tree and the wish tree.
8. To protect your love, embroider flowers, preferably bright red ones.
9. In order to safely give birth to a second or third child, pay attention to cross stitch. Let it be a bear cub or some cartoon character.
10. Try to embroider small items using the same thread color. Let it be a small, inconspicuous pattern in the corner of a handkerchief or an ornament on a towel.
The amulets are embroidered according to the lunar calendar. Charms for children are embroidered on the first quarter of the moon, for adults - on the 2nd-3rd, depending on the purpose of the talisman. For the profit of something (welfare, health, female charm, conception, male strength and wisdom) - on the 4th, 7th, 10th or 14th lunar day, for the departure of something (illness, for example) - on the 3rd quarter (20th 21st lunar day). On a “lucky” day, the amulet STARTS, i.e. sew 10-20 crosses. If you have time, then sew the amulet completely, and you can continue on any day, regardless of the moon.
The amulet can be decorated to your taste: with a picture, biscorn, an aromatic and regular pillow, a keychain, a pendant for a mobile phone or school bag, a postcard, a bookmark - in general, the scope for imagination is endless! You only need to remember one thing: the more often there is contact between the amulet and the owner, the stronger it will act. Make your baby a sensory pad from an amulet, let him fiddle with it, suck it, chew it - it will only be beneficial. You need to hold amulets in your hands more often, tuning your energy and the energy of the amulet.
One more thing. The amulets must be cleaned after a certain time, i.e. wash. Wash as usual embroidery, by hand, in warm water, rinse thoroughly. The amulet itself will tell you when to wash it.
The most important thing is your thoughts at the moment of embroidering the amulet! It should only be positive: Kind, bright, affectionate! And there should be a missing piece of “not” in them. Charms do not help you get away from something (from illness, from alcohol addiction, from infertility). They help you achieve your GOALS (health, happiness, harmony, success, prosperity, love, beauty).

Amulet MAKOSH, or MOKOSH
MAKOSH, the main, oldest and most significant Slavic goddess, the ancestor of all Slavic gods. Least studied by researchers. Its anthropomorphic appearance appears already in the Upper Paleolithic (the so-called “Paleolithic Venus”, for example, the head from the town of Dolni Vestonice in Moravia, LIK MAGUZI).
Makosh is the patroness of housekeeping and handicrafts, the ruler of destinies. This is a talisman for the Mistress of the house; it brings joy, prosperity and abundance to the house. It gives its owner good health, the ability to quickly and happily run a household, reveals culinary talent (which, no doubt, every Woman has, but many simply sleep), as well as a talent for any female handicraft. Among other things, the amulet endows its Mistress with strong intuition and the gift of foresight (it is not for nothing that the heavenly spinner Makosh is also the Goddess of human destiny). This amulet does not have to be carried with you, it is more homemade. While at home, he extends his influence not only to the Mistress, but also to all family members, and brings wealth, prosperity and abundance to the house.

In addition, the four-petalled flower symbolizes all directions of the world, because... the sun will shine no matter which direction a person goes.
