  Once upon a time, I asked “all-knowing grannies” in the Church about everything that was not clear to me. Once again, I asked about reading the Psalter: how to read, what to pray for, etc. To which my grandmother replied that the Psalter must be read only in the Church Slavonic language, otherwise “LOW”! I was very upset and began to study the letter of the church language. But I was tempted to ask the priest about this in confession. Batiushka smiled through his beard and said that the Psalter can and should be read in the language you understand. The Lord understands all languages, you just need to sincerely ask Him, from the bottom of your heart! And he also advised me to ask all questions only to the priest and never listen to the know-it-all grandmothers!

  Question to the priest

  Question to the priest- section of the site "Russian faith", which is especially popular. We are getting new questions to the Orthodox priest almost every day, and especially a lot of them come from novice Christians who have only heard about the Old Believers, but did not have the opportunity to get to know him better.

  We know how difficult it can be, - cross the threshold of the temple and ask your question to the priest live. And of course, a personal conversation and a living word of consolation will never replace email. However, we need spiritual advice.

  We believe that all the efforts of our shepherds will not be in vain even if at least one of those who asked receives some spiritual benefit!

  Ask a priest a question

  Is it possible to read prayers in Russian?

  You raise a very serious question, the answer to which is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. For a person deeply rooted in the Orthodox tradition, it seems unthinkable how one can address God in modern Russian. And for a person who is just coming to faith, the Church Slavonic language is unusual and incomprehensible. In the temple, the texts of the Holy Scriptures are read in Church Slavonic, and in literature, in sermons, in letters and answers to contemporaries, we most often use the text of the synodal translation of the Bible into Russian. But we use it only in order to more clearly convey the idea to modern man, although this translation is also rather archaic. In passing, I note that work is underway to publish an Old Believer translation into Russian of the Holy Gospel.

  It must be said that the Church Slavonic translation of the Bible and liturgical texts is more accurate and closer to the original than the synodal translation. Specialists in the field of linguistics speak of the difficulty of interpreting prayer formulas and the impossibility of accurately conveying liturgical semantics with the tools of modern language.

  A wonderful article about our liturgical language is published in the preface to the "Prayer Book", published by the Old Believer Metropolis of the Russian Orthodox Old Believer Church (M., 1988, etc., pp. 8-9). It briefly but essentially reveals the meaning of the Church Slavonic language and the reasons why the Church cannot switch to modern Russian. Here I will only quote one paragraph.

  The centuries-old prayer experience of the Russian Church shows that the Church Slavonic language is the best suited for prayerful communion with God. After all, a conversation with God is not a conversation with a person. Therefore, the language of prayer must be different from the language of ordinary speech. The Church Slavonic language gives prayers and glorifications an elevated style, distracting the soul from vain earthly worries and sorrows. In this regard, the language of our worship is an inexhaustible treasure.

  Start praying according to the prayer book, and you will see how the words of prayer flow organically from the heart.

  The liturgical and modern Russian languages ​​are closely related. Therefore, I would advise you to make an effort on yourself and try to master Church Slavonic. We can recommend the following tutorial: Pletneva A.A., Kravetsky A.G. Church Slavonic: Proc. ed. – 5th ed., stereotypical. - M.: AST-PRESS BOOK, 2013 - 272 s. It is also necessary to use a dictionary, although not many church words require translation. Further, reading Holy Bible, be sure to refer to the patristic interpretations. Compare Church Slavonic and Synodal translations. This will allow you to understand that the translation does not give a complete understanding of the meaning. After all, the Lord apostles open the mind to the understanding of the Scriptures"(Luke 24:45). Obviously, such work requires some effort and time, but it is generously rewarded. You will gain a deeper understanding of the Bible and worship. " For I want mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings"says the Lord (6:6).

  I can give you an example. On Monday of the Holy Spirit, the following words of the Apostle Paul are read in the temple: … redeeming time» (Eph. 5:16). And in the synodal translation in the same place we read: … cherishing time". Agree that this instruction in Church Slavonic sounds much deeper and stronger? And here is his interpretation.

  “Amma Theodora asked Archbishop Theophilus: what is the meaning of the saying of the Apostle: “Redeeming time”? He answered: “This means that our whole earthly life is like the production of trade. For example: when the time comes when reproaches will fall on you, you will redeem this time with humility of mind and gain benefit (profit) for yourself. Thus, everything that is contrary and hostile to us can turn, if we want, in favor of us ”(Alphabetical Paterik).

  I also recommend that you familiarize yourself with the translations of the psalms made by the outstanding Russian philologist, academician Sergei Sergeevich Averintsev (1937-2004). See for example: Selected Psalms / Translation and commentary by S.S. Averintseva. - M .: St. Philaret Orthodox Christian Institute, 2005. - 176 p. These translations are remarkable in that they allow the modern person to convey the meaning of the psalms, firstly, in the Russian language (which excludes modern words, barbarisms and borrowings), and secondly, in such a Russian language that also conveys the imagery of the original, allows feel the structure of the psalm.

  In conclusion, it is necessary to say a few words about the modern Russian language. This phrase is often used to denote common language, excluding everything that sounds "archaic". " The use of such a language writes S.S. Averintsev, - “creates the illusion that the environment in which the action takes place is modernity. … God comes to the believer in the reality of today; but I am afraid that He will not come to an isolationist ideological space that does not want to know anything but himself(op. cit. pp. 148 and 150).

Eternal God and the King of every creature, having made me sing even at this hour, forgive me the sins that I have done in this day by deed, word and thought, and cleanse, Lord, my humble soul from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit. And give me, Lord, in this night's sleep to pass away in peace, but having risen from my humble bed, I will please your most holy name, all the days of my stomach, and I will stop the enemies of the flesh and fleshless who fight me.

You are, O Lord, worshiped God, Holy King, Jesus Christ, while sleeping, save me with a flickering light, by Your Holy Spirit, Who sanctified Your disciples. Give, Lord, to me, Your unworthy servant, Your salvation on my bed: enlighten my mind with the light of the mind of Your holy Gospel, soul with the love of Your Cross, heart with the purity of Your word, my body with Your impassive passion, save my thought with Your humility, and raise up me in time like Your praise.

Lover of mankind, will this coffin be for me, or will you enlighten my wretched soul in the daytime? Seven coffin is before me, seven death is coming. I am afraid of Your judgment, Lord, and endless torment, but I do not stop doing evil: I will always anger the Lord my God, and Your Most Pure Mother, and all the heavenly powers, and my holy guardian angel. We know, O Lord, that I am not worthy of Thy love for mankind, but I am worthy of all condemnation and torment. But, Lord, either I want it or I don't want it, save me. If you save the righteous, you are nothing great; and if you have mercy on the pure, it is nothing marvelous: for the essence of Thy mercy is worthy. But on me, a sinner, surprise Thy mercy: in this, show Thy philanthropy, so that my malice will not overcome Thy inexpressible goodness and mercy: and if you wish, arrange a thing for me.

Enlighten my eyes, O Christ God, lest I fall asleep into death, lest my enemy say: Be strong against him.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Be the intercessor of my soul, O God, as I walk in the midst of many nets; Deliver me from them and save me, Blessed One, like a Lover of mankind.

And now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer to the Holy Cross

Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered, and let those who hate Him flee from His face. As the smoke disappears, let them disappear; as wax melts from the face of fire, so let the demons perish from the face of those who love God and are marked by the sign of the cross, and in joy they say: Rejoice, Most Honorable and Life-Giving Cross Lord, drive away the demons by the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, crucified on you, who descended into hell and corrected the strength of the devil, and gave us His Honorable Cross to drive away every adversary. O Most Honorable and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord! Help me with the Holy Lady Virgin Mother of God and with all the saints forever. Amen.

Notes:

- Printed in italics (explanations and names of prayers) are not read during prayer.

- When it is written “Glory”, “And now”, it is necessary to read in full: “Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit”, “And now and forever and forever and ever. Amen"

- There is no sound ё in the Church Slavonic language, and therefore it is necessary to read “we call”, and not “we call”, “your”, and not “your”, “mine”, and not “mine”, etc.

The prayer rule should be read daily by every true Christian. A prayer book in Church Slavonic is most suitable for believers who are well acquainted with the works of the Orthodox religion and makes it possible to get in touch with eternity - to feel the connection of time between the birth of Christianity and modernity.

A collection of basic prayers for daily reading is designed to strengthen the faith of people and contribute to their spiritual improvement. The Orthodox prayer book contains a variety of the most sought-after sacred texts, knowing which, a person can turn to the Lord for help in difficult, insoluble without his support, moments of life.

The prayer book in Church Slavonic, adopted at the time of Cyril and Methodius, allows you to fully experience the sacrament of prayer and is an excellent gymnastics for the developing inquisitive human mind.

At first it will seem that the ancient writings are heavy and inconvenient to read, especially when they are written in the Old Slavonic script, but if you start with the sacred texts that the complete church prayer book contains, then soon this activity is so fascinating that you want to study and enrich your vocabulary with new ones. (forgotten old) words that are for the Slavs the heritage of their ancestors. In addition, prayer books are often equipped with a brief dictionary-interpreter of Old Slavonic words and phrases.

Church Slavonic: the basics

Of course, it is best to start learning the ancient “dead” language from childhood. The initial assimilation of images that symbolize Old Slavonic words, much more productive than the banal memorization of alphabetic characters. It is not easy to deal with him, because there was given language exclusively for the needs of the church, based not on the Old Russian, but on the Old Bulgarian language.

In a believing family, prayer texts are first memorized by the child by ear, because prayers are sung, not read, so they are easy to understand. Then you can invite the child to create their own prayer book, where the main prayers that are already familiar to the child will be entered. The brochure should be signed to make it "native", nominal. So the child will immediately, without a reminder, take his own little book and read the morning and evening rules.

If a family lives, literally, with the life and culture of the Orthodox Church, then it will not be difficult to instill a love for the Church Slavonic language in children in it.

For an adult, in addition to home-based self-study, it would be useful to resemble church services(it is possible with a prayer book) and, listening to the chants of the priest, compare them with the text written in Church Slavonic, so to speak, develop memory in two ways - by ear and visually.

The Orthodox Church is reluctant to part with the usual dogmas and canons, extremely slowly accepting technologies and new norms that appear in the world. Originally written in Church Slavonic, the prayers of Byzantine priests are still used today. And the fact that the majority of parishioners, who are not a model of a true believer, understand prayer at best, through a word, is no reason to translate it into familiar Russian, from the point of view of Orthodoxy.

Features of the Church Slavonic Prayer Book

The Old Slavonic language differs from the modern one not so much in words, but in accents and auxiliary unreadable letters, such as a solid sign at the end of words, as well as a fancy font that is hard to perceive with an untrained eye. Seriously inclined to conquer linguistics and make this language your own, it is better to purchase a textbook of the Church Slavonic language. To read prayers in the Old Russian dialect, you can use the dictionary-application in the prayer book. With him, acquaintance with Church Slavonic will be easier.

The complete Orthodox prayer book in Church Slavonic contains the standard prayer rule(a set of required reading prayers) and canons (short and in full presentation): the Mother of God, Jesus and St. Andrew of Crete ( penitential canon). The collection also includes sacred texts offered for reading on the icons of saints and for every need.

Slavic prayers are comparable to strong amulet. They can help in a variety of undertakings and deeds. It is noteworthy that in ancient times, in prayer appeals, people turned to their ancient deities. After the advent of Christianity, the meaning of the texts of Slavic prayers did not change, but in prayer addresses, believing Slavs began to turn to God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Most Holy Theotokos and other Saints.

In order for Slavic prayers to be effective, they should be read in a positive mood, while no evil should be present in the soul.

The main commandments of the ancient Slavs, when reading prayers, are as follows:

• To revere sacredly means to recognize the power of the bright sides of life.
• To read - translated from the Old Slavonic "CHI" - is the energy of life, and the word "thief" means "appropriate". The general interpretation is to receive light power from the Gods, and fill its own soul.
• Praise - in prayers the Gods are glorified, but their power is not involved in order to solve their own problems.
• To live according to conscience - "SO" in the Old Slavonic language meant joint good news. This meant that one should not follow what one does not wish for oneself.
• To live in harmony with the surrounding nature - this made it possible to find life harmony in accordance with natural vibrations.



In ancient times, the Slavs prayed at temples. This ancient pagan temple, which has always been located behind an equipped altar used to install various sacred objects. In these places, not only prayers were offered to the Gods, but also rituals were performed by priests.

Today, an improvised "temple" can be arranged in own apartment on a separate table. To do this, you need to choose a place for the altar and place images of the deity on it. It is best to carve it out of wood with your own hands. This will fill the idol with your energy.

When equipping a place for offering Slavic prayers, the following requirements must be met:

• The created deity should be put on a patch new fabric, and next to it put a small natural stone.
• Provide space for candles and incense.
• Put a ritual dish and a cup.

If you live in a private house, then it is recommended to offer Slavic prayers in nature. For example, for this you can approach a tree. Also for prayer ancient Slavic gods it is recommended to go out of town. In this case the best place considered a spring.

More important are the basic rules that must be observed when reading Slavic prayers:

• The texts of ancient appeals to the Slavic gods are pronounced in a whisper, but very clearly.
• You can only pray if you are healthy and in good health. good location spirit, otherwise prayers will not be heard.
• There must be faith in the soul that Slavic prayers are effective and contribute to the harmonization of life.

Read morning prayers

the most famous morning prayer the ancient Slavs are considered to be an appeal to Dazhdboga.

It sounds in modern Russian as follows:

“The Red Sun rises on the eastern side, I praise you, our God, as the whole world is illuminated with bright light and filled with joy. My soul wants grace, since I am the Grandson (Granddaughter) of your DazhdGod. I look at the sky, which wakes up with the sun and fills my heart with joyful trembling. At this moment, Dazhdbog enters my soul. Accept my greetings, Clear Morning Sun! My soul is open to you, bless it, fill my body with health, make me strong and strong so that my life becomes fertile. Without You, Sun Clear, no one will be able to breathe and move. I am waiting for your blessing, Dazhdbog, for lightness and clarity, so that all my good undertakings are successful on this day, and Falsehood and Falsehood, so that it sinks into a deep Pit! Glory to Dazhdbog!

Also, the Slavs often read the morning praise.

Its text goes like this:

“Kind of the Most High! You are one for us, but in many manifestations. You are the true Light for us and the only Justice. You exude Eternal Life, you are a spring of boundless Love. You heal our souls and hearts. We praise you, come to us and rule over us. With our work we raise glory to you, becoming wiser and stronger every day of our lives. We are the real defenders of the Bright World and our righteous Family. You, God, inspire us, fill us with joy, bestow courage and stamina, teach patience. This will allow us to pass our life path with honour. Thank you God."

The text of the evening prayers

The list of Slavic prayers also includes a special prayer, which is recommended to be read in the evening.

It sounds like this:

“Kind of the Most High! I glorify you as your blood child. Night came to Earth, Veles steps on it. Our souls go in the night through Nav, they call their ancestors in a deep dream. Veles the Father will protect our souls so that we meet in the morning part with joy in the soul of Dazhdbog. Glory to the Native Gods!”

Also, prayers for their family were often read before going to bed. Such praise might sound like this:

“Kind of the Most High! I invoke God's blessing Light into our lives! Come and bless with your power! Natural water - spring, cleanse our souls and thoughts, bring health. Life was born thanks to you, so renew our souls, fill our race with strength. May our children be stronger and wiser than us. Amen".

When they talk about the ancient Slavic prayers of the Slavs, they mean the traditional ritual words that the Slavs used to communicate with the Higher powers. The word "prayer" was not present in the Old Slavonic vocabulary. This is due to the fact that the Slavs praised their Gods and. unlike Christians, they never asked anything from them. That is why the appeal to God among the Slavs was called "glorification."

Praises or appeals to the Higher Powers have always been an obligatory attribute of all great ritual holidays. In addition, every day the ancient Slavs read morning and evening praises, such prayer appeals were offered before a meal, before a trip, and before starting any business. But at the same time, it should be understood that the ancient Slavic prayers were not a canon, turning to God was not considered an obligatory event, this had to be done only when a desire arose. For example, if a person wanted to praise God for a good day, then he did it. Very often glorified Perun for the victory over enemies.

Ancient Slavic prayers are very diverse. It is important to choose the right prayer appeal. The words must be pronounced very sincerely and it is absolutely not necessary to follow the existing texts. It is allowed to replace in your own way both individual words and individual phrases. It is important that prayer comes from the depths of the soul.

There is no such thing as "the main ancient Slavic prayer". The prayers of the ancient people are distinguished by their individuality. In order to understand how ancient Slavic prayers were read, you need to get acquainted with the folklore and ethnography of the Slavs.

What is prayer? Prayer is a tool. Our Ancestors praised the Gods, but did not ask them for anything. Doxology is the creation of special vibrations, because the language is given to us in order to glorify, that is, to catch the resonance of attunement with the Gods (a certain energy) with the help of words. Prayer is a vibration series associated with a certain hypostasis: either we turn to a specific God who controls specific elements, or to one of his manifestations - protection, help, support. This is a technique of attunement with certain vibrations. When we are attuned with this vibration, we appropriate this Power for our evolution. When a person believes, when he has an inner conviction that the object he addresses to will help him, help and support come. At the same time, it doesn’t even matter whether we speak in our own words or without words, just a mental message and mental contact with God perform miracles. It is important from the Soul, with understanding, to the point, then the prayer works very strongly. And here it is important to accept these vibrations. Often a person is not ready to accept high vibrations if he lives in low vibrations for a very long time: aggression, anger, irritation and internal negativity. Praying means we tune in to the vibration of God, we use his Power. Therefore, prayer must be glorified, said, and not spoken.

There, in the country of eternal summer, his golden palace was located, from where Dazhdbog left every morning in a golden chariot. The chariot was harnessed by four white horses with golden manes. And every morning, Dazhdbog's sister named Morning Dawn took them to heaven. And so Dazhdbog made a circular detour throughout the sky. When the detour was completed, in the evening Dazhdbog was met by his other sister, Evening Dawn. She unharnessed the horses and led them to the stable. And when Dazhdbog rode across the sky on his chariot, a bright light came from his shield of fire. But in the evening, his shield dimmed from the dust and turned red. It was also believed that in the fall Dazhdbog died, but after the winter solstice, when the day became longer again, a new, young Dazhdbog was born. It was also believed that Dazhdbog was a deity that closes winter and unlocks summer. At the same time, he closed the ground for the winter, and gave the keys to the birds.

Our ancestors believed that the goddess of Life turned into a bird and foreshadowed the continuation of all life. The cuckoo flies from distant Iria, a heavenly paradise, where the souls of the dead are carried away, where the maidens of fate reside, and shows us the magic clock. From childhood, we all remember the stories that the cuckoo counts the hours of our birth, life and death. Hearing the sounds that she makes, we listen to them and ask her the question: “Cuckoo, cuckoo, how many years do I have left to live?”. Probably, the bird does not hear our conversation with it, but we just want it to answer its endless “cuckoo”, this is somehow calmer. And the cuckoo foreshadowed the beginning of summer and the accompanying thunderstorms. From her voice, they wondered how successful the marriage would be, whether it would be possible to collect good harvest. famous and ancient folk rite honoring the cuckoo. The girls overshadowed her, mingled with each other and curled wreaths on a birch. Such actions were associated with the awakening of the forces of nature, with the flowering of spring.

People believed that if the Goddess had mercy, then she could change the fate of a person and grant him a longer life. In an effort to show respect to the Goddess Zhiva, the Slavs held special holidays in her honor. Wide festivities were organized in the forests, meadows and fields in order to thank the beautiful Goddess Zhiva, the creator of everything young and alive. Women armed themselves with brooms and performed a ritual dance around the fire, led round dances and sang songs, thereby clearing the place of evil spirits. Rejoicing at the arrival of spring, according to custom, everyone jumped over the fire, believing that with the help of fire one could be cleansed of obsessions after a tiring winter.

Also, Lada was the personification of plant power. And there was a custom when, in early March, girls and children went out to call for spring, and asked Lada for permission for this ceremony. There are several legends about Lada. One of them tells how the goddess Lada languished in the captivity of thick clouds and snow throughout the cold winter. But each time, with the advent of spring, the thunder god Perun took his lightning arrows and melted the snow. And when he did this, again Lada appeared on the ground, along with warm weather and rain. And then Lada walked through the meadows and through the forests, and after her young grass grew, and buds blossomed on the trees. And flowers covered the ground. And when it became quite warm on the ground, then the guys and girls began to dance round dances. And then the goddess Lada noted who was destined to love whom, and who to create a family. So the Spring-Red came to the earth. There is also a story from other sources about how Lada and the god Svarog created people.

And then Svarog and Lada went out into the forest clearing and began to have fun. And they began to throw stones over their shoulders to the ground. And so, these pebbles of Cheese-Mother Earth washed with dew, but they turned into people. From the pebbles that Lada threw, the girls were born, and from the pebbles thrown by Svarog - well done. But the goddess Lada thought, but she decided that this would not be enough. Then she took the sticks, and began to rub them against each other. Divine sparks flared up, people were born from them - girls and boys. So in Yavi people appeared. And then the god Svarog and the goddess Lada bequeathed to people to live according to the laws that were carved on the stone Alatyr. And the goddess Mokosh spun the threads of life.

Even, in ancient times, in the spring there was a Leli holiday, which was called Lyalnik. During this holiday, girls wove wreaths of spring flowers. She was the daughter of the goddess Lada and, according to some sources, the wife of the Fiery Volkh. There is a story that tells about the Fiery Volkh and Lela. Once, the Fiery Magus defeated Indrik, the king of all animals, and seized his kingdom for himself. And Volkh took the wife of Indrik, the snake Paraskea, as his wife. But Paraskeya, along with other snakes, began to persuade the Fiery Volkh to capture Iriy and become the ruler of the whole world. Volkh succumbed to persuasion, took the guise of Finist Falcon, but Iriy flew. Arriving in Iriy, he sat on a branch of an apple tree with golden apples. And these apples were not simple - if Volkh had pecked such an apple, he would have become the ruler of the Universe. But then suddenly the Fiery Magus heard the song of the goddess Lely. Yes, he fell in love with Lelya so much that he forgot about everything in the world. And after that he began to secretly look after Lelya, and visit her in the guise of a falcon. But the sisters Lelya, Zhiva and Morena found out about it. Yes, they told Svarog that someone visits Lelya at night. Svarog came to Lele, but did not see anyone, for the Fiery Magus, so that he would not be noticed, turned into a feather. And Lelya released this feather in the yard. But Lely's sisters then decided to stick needles on the window. They stuck needles, and the next time Volkh flew to Lele in the form of a falcon, he could not get through to her, but only injured all his wings. And then Volkh flew back to the Dark Kingdom, finally shouting to Lele that if she wants to find him, then the path is looking for him in the Dark Kingdom. And then Lelya went in search of him. She walked for a long time, until, finally, the path led her to the Dark Kingdom. And there she found Lelya Finista Sokol, bewitched by the Paraskea Snake. And then the spell of Paraskei fell from Finista, and he, together with Lelei, returned to Iriy, where they got married. And Veles did not release the snake Peraskeya from the Dark Kingdom.

Mokosh's prayer

Mokosh is a female deity, the patroness of weaving and spinning. Also, she was considered the goddess of agriculture, harvest and abundance, the mother of all living things. Mokosh is often mentioned in some sources along with women in labor. Mokosh is one of the most ancient deities, and according to some versions, even initially personified Cheese-Mother Earth. But over time, the goddess gradually acquired new functions. In the North, Mokosh was portrayed as a woman with a large head and long arms. Also, on embroideries, she was depicted either with a comb for combing flax in both hands, or with comb-hands. Also, according to some versions, Mokosh was invisible, but if she suddenly appeared in the hut, this could be recognized by the buzzing of the spindle. Therefore, in ancient times it was believed that it was impossible to leave an untidy tow for the night, and it was also forbidden to spin on holidays. Sometimes, as it was believed, Mokosh could interfere in various household chores - for example, spinning yarn or putting things in order in the hut. Also, in ancient times, Mokosh was also considered the goddess of fate, spinning the thread of fate. She began to be considered the patroness of weaving and spinning in a later period. And with the advent of Christianity, some of its functions were transferred to Paraskeva Friday. As for the origin of her name, according to some versions and sources, it is believed that it came from the words "wet" and "wet". According to others, her name comes from the Indo-European words "ma" - "mother" and "kosh" - "lot", that is, the goddess of fate. She was often depicted on embroideries. On towels for spring rituals, she was depicted with her hands raised to the sky, as if she asked the heavenly gods to send down rain and irrigate the fields with it. And by the days summer solstice, when the ears were already growing, Mokosh was depicted with his hands down to the ground and surrounded by solar circles.

Makosha, in Great Glory you come to us from Iriy, creating prosperity for your children. Your hands bow to us with fruitful branches, and we see your smile in the warmth of autumn. You give us rich harvests and we honor and bow to the holy Earth - Makosh - our nurse. With love we praise You as Your faithful children.

Prayer to Perun

Perun is one of the main deities in the beliefs of the ancient Slavs, the god of thunder, the patron of the prince and the squad. A deity armed with a bow and arrows and a battle ax with a club. Son of the god Svarog. It was believed that Perun could throw lightning at trees and set them on fire. He could even get his lightning into the house. To avoid this, in ancient times, to protect against lightning and the wrath of Perun, in the huts, many people cut out circles with six spokes, the so-called "thunder signs".

According to some sources, Perun was mighty in summer, but his strength disappeared for the winter, in winter Perun died. However, with the advent of spring, he revived again, and his strength awakened. And with the arrival of the first birds in the spring, Perun broke the cloud-dungeon with his club. Perun was a deity who sent rains to the earth, on which the harvest and life depended. As a rule, he was depicted as a tall and middle-aged man with a beard, riding a horse or riding in a fiery chariot. In his right hand he held a bow and in his left a quiver of arrows. His idol was made of wood, with a silver head and a golden mustache. The idol of Perun was installed in oak groves. At the same time, the priest of Perun had to maintain an unquenchable fire in front of the idol of the deity, in which oak firewood burned. Perun is often considered the supreme deity of the ancient Slavs, but according to some versions, he became one quite late. Whereas before him the supreme deities were Rod, Svarog and Dazhdbog. In an even later period, with the advent of Christianity, part of the image of the thunder god, along with part of its functions, was transferred to Saint Elijah the prophet. He also, like Perun, rode across the sky in a fiery chariot and threw his fiery lightning bolts at the Devil and evil spirits.

Great Father Perun! I address you as Your son, Your manifestation on earth. I ask You, manifest through me, O Great Perun, I dedicate myself completely to You. Let Your eyes be my eyes, Your body my body, Your Spirit my Spirit. Your hands, my hands, my goals - Your goals. May all Your qualities become inherent in me. May your Power become my Power and be manifested through me as Your highest manifestation on our Earth. Lead me, create me, manifest through me. So be it, for so it is and will be! Glory to Thee, Great Perun!

Perun, Our Father! Thunder in Svarga Blue your Sword and Shield. We, Your faithful children, hear Your unspeakable Power, the Righteous Power, Given by birth, in the Stake of Life You protect the way, the family of Rusichs and you always protect us Orthodox. Protect our souls with the Holy Perunites, and our bodies with the Fiery Tombs, let them not touch us, but drive the enemies away. The Fire of Svarozhy, the Fire of the Righteous Faith, the Holy of God, burns in our souls. Therefore, we are always one with You, united in the Great Triglav, come to us at our call! Glory to Perun!

Prayer to Rarog

Rarog - in the beliefs of the ancient Western Slavs, a fiery bird, sometimes associated with the cult of the hearth. In the beliefs of the ancient southern Slavs, it was believed that Rarog was born from an egg, which a man hatched on the stove for nine days and nine nights. As a rule, Rarog was depicted in the form of a bird of prey with sparkling and flaming feathers, from whose beak flames burst out.

Glory to Rarog, who ignites the fire of faith in souls! We call you the heavenly falcon, so that you descend from Svarga Blue and overshadow my relatives with your light. Your strength is majestically incomprehensible, in you is the light of Rule, Reveal and Navi that exists, for you are the victorious Spirit of Faith-Veda Right! I see how my family multiplies in your radiance, righteous and honest people, rich and wise, strong and brave people pester us! I see how my relatives are drawn to the Ancestral Fire, the Gods are glorified at the Temples of the Orthodox! I see a very great stake, that they raised their hands to Svarga, glorifying the Gods of Rule! And as I see it, it is so, from now and forever, from century to century! Glory to Rarog!

Prayer to Rod

Rod - in ancient Slavic beliefs, this is a very ancient deity that once gave life to all life in this world. Rod at the same time along with this is the personification of fate, destined, the universe and the harvest. Rod was a deity who sent the souls of people from heaven to earth when a child was born. And Rod determined his future fate. Also, Rozhanitsy are associated with the Family, who, according to some sources, also determined the fate of a newborn child. According to ancient Slavic myths, at the very beginning there was nothing but the world's golden egg in the void. And in this egg the god Rod slept. And he saw in a dream a wonderful world in which there were gods and people, and light and darkness, and life and death, and truth, and falsehood. And Rod continued to sleep in the egg. And the egg itself grew and gained strength. And then, one day, the god Rod decided that it was time to wake up. He decided so, and love was born in his soul. And Rod fell in love with everything that he invented. And then, he split the egg into pieces, and heavenly and earthly firmaments, heavenly and earthly waters, light with darkness, came out of it. And from the face of the god Rod came the sun in a golden boat and a month with stars in a silver boat. After that, Rod took a rainbow and cut its umbilical cord, thus separating the earthly waters from the heavenly waters with a stone firmament. After the separation of the waters, Rod also divided light and darkness, truth and falsehood. And from the breath of Rod appeared Lada, the goddess of love. Lada turned into a Swa bird, and flew over the earth. Then, Rod gave rise to three kingdoms: the heavenly kingdom of Rule, the middle kingdom of Yav and the dark kingdom of Nav. And a seed fell from the world space. And from this seed the World Tree itself grew, a huge oak, whose roots went to Nav, and the trunk went along Yav, then the top, its crown, went to the Rule. And everything would have been fine, but only now everything was mixed up in this world, but there was no one to keep order. And therefore, the god Rod called the bird Sva to him, and created an assistant for himself, the god Svarog. And the god Svarog raised the sky above the sea. And then he went to the sky, which was called Svarga in his honor, in order to look around the world from there. And then Svarog paved the way for the sun in the sky, so that it could rise and set. And then Svarog saw that in Yavi there is only one sea, and there is no Raw Earth. And then Svarog went to look for land. For a long time he searched for land, until finally, on the seventh day of the search, he saw the high Riphean mountains. And on the top of those Ripean mountains lay the white-combustible stone Alatyr. And the god Svarog Alatyr-stone took it, and threw it into the sea. The sea foamed, became agitated, it began to boil and thicken. And thus the earth appeared in Yavi. But this land was small, and therefore it immediately sank into the sea. Svarog saw such a thing, was saddened, but then he turned to Rod, so that he would help get the Earth from the bottom. And two birds appeared at the behest of Rod, diving into the sea, right in the place where the earth sank. There were no birds for a long time. A day has gone by and they are still gone. The second day is over and they are still gone. And only on the third day did they rise back to the surface, holding grains of earth in their kobwas. Svarog was delighted with this, took the grains in his hands, and began to knead them. And he asked Rod to help revive Cheese Earth. And then the sun began to warm the earth, and cool the moon. And then the winds blew. They blew the earth out of the hands of Svarog and smashed it in all directions. So the earth grew, and the World Tree then gained strength. After the earth grew, the god Rod and other gods and creatures decided to give birth. He created a mighty serpent so that he would hold the earth so that it would not go under water. And then Rod created the goddess Mokosh, who began to spin the threads of fate. And then he gave birth to the Family of deities Rozhanits. And Svarog decided to create asilk giants, who were destined to deal with the device of the world at the behest of Svarog. Asilki mountains were dragged, destroyed or new ones were built. And in the bowels of the earth, Svarog created three stone vaults for underground inhabitants. And then a lot of snakes-asps were born in the bowels of the underground. Then, Svarog found and lifted the Alatyr stone from the seabed, which he once threw. And as soon as Svarog got Alatyr, this stone began to grow, pour silver and whiteness. Yes, he became a stone to all stones. And then, at the behest of the god Rod himself and at the request of the god Svarog, laws were carved on the Alatyr stone, according to which one should live. And from under the stone flowed fertile rivers and springs with living water and dead water. Then Svarog created a sacred fire in heaven, and created a miraculous blacksmith for himself. And in this blacksmith, Svarog began to forge various things - a bowl, a plow, an ax. This is how the world was created.

Prayer to the svarog

Svarog is a deity, a blacksmith god and, accordingly, the patron of blacksmiths. He was one of the main deities, the god of heavenly fire, bringing the sun to the sky every morning. Depicted, Svarog is usually in the guise of a young blacksmith. Also, according to ancient legends, it was he who threw blacksmith tongs from the sky and taught people to forge iron. He also gave people heavenly fire, without which it is impossible to make weapons and jewelry. And it was Svarog who forged the first plow and taught people to plow the land. Since Svarog taught people how to forge iron, it has been revered as a sacred metal, and it was believed that it had magical properties. Therefore, iron objects, for example, a horseshoe made of iron, were often used as amulets against evil spirits. Also, Svarog was a deity who created the first laws by which people had to live. He was the father of Dazhbog and Svarozhich. As some legends say, after Svarog gave birth to Dazhbog and Svarozhich, and with them other bright gods, he retired, and his children began to rule the world instead of him.

Prayers to Yarile

Yarilo (Yarila, Yar) - among the ancient Slavs, the deity of spring fertility, vegetation and love. Often acts as a solar deity. It was believed that wherever he stepped barefoot, thick rye immediately grew there. Every year, he died, and in the spring he rose again. As a rule, he was depicted as a young man dressed in white clothes. He sat on a white horse with a wreath of spring flowers on his head. At the same time, Yarilo held ears of corn in his hand, symbolizing life. And where his horse stepped, thick rye grew. Also, according to some traditions, Yarilo was depicted as a girl, also dressed in white clothes, with a wreath of spring flowers on her head and ears of rye in her hand.

God Yarilo, our clear sun, you ride through the sky on a white horse, you bring spring to the land of the Orthodox family. There is no enlightenment either in the sky or in my soul without your life-giving ray. Java has its face in the Blue Sky, and let your spirit tremble in my soul. You are more, our God, the Father of the brave and victorious, you are a mighty knight, who creates a man from a young man. I beg you, Father, drive the Bashurs away from my family, light up the house and bless the relatives! May I be in unity, Yarile, with the Ancestors and Gods, inspired by you on my way, step boldly and victoriously! Glory to Yarila!
