Nasze symbole są piękne, proste i symetryczne, teraz dzięki Tobie wiem, co oznaczają. Czuję jakąś ulgę, że mimo tysiąca lat chrześcijaństwa jakieś skrawki tamtej kultury się uchowały w tradycji do dziś, jednocześnie szkoda, że jest tych informacji dość mało i bazujemy głównie na domniemaniach. Wierzę, że przed zaprowadzeniem ascezy była to barwna epoka. Od dziś Weles jest moim ulubionym rogatym duszkiem! Dziękuję za materiał i pozdrawiam ❤️🖤❤️🖤
Tak, szkoda, że wiemy dużo mniej, niż by się chciało... Na szczęście zachowało się więcej, niż nam się wydaje 😊 Polecam też moje wideo o pogańskich korzeniach Bożego Narodzenia, jest na playliście "Slavic Pagan Stuff" :)
dziękuję bardzo this was so helpful to me. I really enjoyed your detailed explanations and your positive, relaxed energy. Because I'm German, I totally get the swastika thing. To me it's really important that the International community starts to claim back their Symbols, Earth and Power which derives from them. Stop allowing Nazis to Monopolise Symbols and Gods. My husband is Polish. Last year I was for the first time on a long holiday Trip there. We drove from West to North to South and back to Germany. For the first time in my life I got a glimpse of the destruktion, the hate and the ignorance of the German war against Poland and it's consequences. In my opinion, we need healing on a deeper level than the earthly realm. So bring on more about those old slavic traditions and let's bring healing to the Land and people, the hearts and souls, everywhere it's welcome and needed. Sławe
Excellent words and truth to reclaim back what was taken and totally messed up by cruel people in the past....but we must look forward 💛Yes to Peace and Healing.
I think its amazing the hammer nordic symbol with the axe and is so familiar with the vulcan god of fire married to aphrodite. The weaponry maker of the gods.
Yes, I know what you mean! There might not be much of a connection with the Minoan culture, there is however a striking resemblance with some Greek art from 7th century B.C. The goddess, the pose, the birds... There are even swastikas there!
Just had to pop on to tell you how excited I was to see this in my feed today! I feel like I'm taking a class on Slavic paganism from you! Thank you so much for continuing to share your research and information. I really really love this series of videos you're doing, and I really appreciate them. OK - now to watch the video! LOL ❤️
Leluja/лелуја in Serbian means, something like when you are drunk,flying/mind, when you are looking true buss window and you are only in your thoughts etc, it can also be used as movment like lišće leluja na drvetu - leafs are flickering on the tree etc
Lelujati means lightly swaying in the wind or in the air. It suggests something of little weight being moved gently by the air, as a heavy object/body cannot "leluja" due to it's weight. The other verb is similar to Serbian ljuljati, which means swinging, either oneself or an object. These linguistic similarities are fascinating and beautiful.
Thanks 😊 for showing this. The Western Europe is exactly the same. But for some reason all our ancient symbols in white country’s are looked down on . Especially in the west. I remember many of these symbols growing up in the Midwest of America. A fifteen year old political movement painted some of our symbols black and used them. Why people cant tell the difference is befuddling and goofy ..
Indeed, it's sad but true :( Most people are simply not aware how old these symbols are and know only what they learned at school and what they saw in WWII movies :(
Veles is town in Macedonija but when you go to the est over the hillss on google maps terain you can see the the head with krown , eays ,, nose , mouth ,, beard of st. ILIJA / Perun , whath a coincidence
Hello, thank you for discussing swastika. I am proud to use the swastika symbol, because I know that by using the swastika this doesn’t mean I am a Nazi, it simply means I am honoring my ancestors. The swastika is one of the most ancient symbols on earth, and in the past the swastika was used by all of the cultures, ethnic groups, nations, organizations, religions, etc. Swastika was used by all people of the world across every continent. Nazi simply adopted this ancient symbol for themselves, and used it for their own purposes. I am half Slavic/Russian on my mother’s side, and half Armenian on my father side. I was born in Russia, Rostov-on-Don, and raised there till age 13. At which point my parents decided to move our family to USA. I’ve been exploring the indigenous people of Europe & Russia, and only briefly looked into pagan Armenians. Maybe it’s because I was never really introduced to Armenian culture or language, only my Russian side was introduced to me as a child. As far as swastika and the nazis, I’ve done independent research of this topic. The things is, after everything I’ve uncovered during the years of research, I am now 100% convinced that official history cannot be trusted, because it is a fabrication, a mixture of semi/truths mixed with fiction. It’s not the actual genuine history of the past. This includes the official history of wars. After any major war is over, the winning side takes full control of how the history is written for future generations, and make no mistake about it, it will be extremely biased, and they will write this history in a way that is convenient for them. They provide the public with their version of history, and not the actual genuine truth of what happened. I’m not a Nazi sympathizer. I hate war, mass deaths, destruction, devastation, misery, and pain. I don’t support war. However, I personally do not, and will not believe that Nazi were the most evil regime in history. To me the Nazi were no more or less evil than any other regime during wartime. All one has to do is research communism, both in Russia & China. Do the research on tens of millions of victims that were slaughtered during communism. The numbers will blow you away. Or do some research on Japanese unit 731, that was a place of hell on Earth for the hostages/prisoners of the Japanese. You will be completely shocked to learn just how badly people were tortured in Japanese unit 731 the severity of torture in all those experimentations will make you sick. So many wars and battles in history so many army leaders who were brutal and merciless. We can go on and on. And I think there is some sort of an agenda to make the world believe that the Nazis were the worst of them all when clearly that’s not the truth. I’m not saying the Nazis were innocent, but all this hyper focusing on only Nazis while living out all of the other regimes, and evil dictators of history just seems very fishy & deliberate to me. Because of how the media and official history deliberately hyper focused on the nazis and hitler as the MOST EVIL REGIME out of ALL OF THE OTHER REGIMES IN HISTORY, people are afraid to use the swastika symbol. It’s like if I was to go and research the symbols of war that the Turkish people used during Armenian genocide, and then attack those symbols and anyone who is wearing them modern days. It’s only a symbol anybody can use it in adopt it. Any symbol can be used by anyone for whatever reason, for bad or good that doesn’t mean that you can attack the symbol itself. Our history is written by the victors, and everything that we have available to us from official sources of information is there for a reason. Today’s humans are a product of generations of programming. No one thinks for themselves anymore
Thank you for your comment! I seems to me that the Hitler=ultimate evil thing is very characteristic to the Western world. It always surprises me they don't have any other examples with so many tempting candidates! In Poland we can't help but be aware at least of Stalin (and the hammer and sickle symbol are not looked at friendly), but as you say, the list is indeed long. Most people don't research history or anything else for that matter. They are content with what they've heard or seen on TV. And it pains me every time when I see the swastika used as the emblem of evil people. Much love to you!

@@wolfofcoins i do have another question bc I just discovered that polish witches exsist 🖤 when doing spells or anything do u cast a circle of protection?
@@BlackMoonCoven I wish I could be of more help here, however even though I've been consciously Slavic pagan for two years now, when it comes to magic I don't have much experience (I've been putting a lot of effort in finding my way out from Catholicism into paganism, so concentrating on spirituality in general).

Hello, Ester! Welcome to my channel! :) I think he wanted to use the power of this symbol, but for twisted reasons - and so he twisted the symbol as well (i.e. he changed the angle of the swastika).
I didn't think about putting it here because in my mind it is more of a national symbol than a pagan one. Plus, it's very local. I know it belonged to the Rurik dynasty who came from the Varangians and is very old, but I don't know about its spiritual meaning. If you do, please let me know.
@@wolfofcoins I agree tryzub is very specific to Ukrainian speaking people. I don't think anyone knows the very exact meaning of a tryzub but I think that is what makes it such a powerful symbol. I have been looking for its historical meaning since I was a child with no success. If you look at the oldest version of a tryzub it resembles to me a dove diving straight down from the heavens like ocean birds do when they catch fish. A variation of this old style looks more like an open book or maybe double axe blades. Another very old version on an ancient coin looks more clearly like a crown with a royal scepter/orb imposed in the middle, which is a little more similar to the modern version. A few old versions remind me of a deer with its antlers, or even a deer with blades replacing the antlers facing outwards like axes. Obviously it also looks like a trident, and the translated meaning of tryzub is "three-tooth". How the symbol is felt by Ukrainians is: Veneration of ancient heroes, Connection to family and nature instead of government/ideology, General strength and continuity in the face of evil spirit and temptation, Continuity of tradition... The Ukrainian people have not been allowed to rule their own people since Gheghis Khan's invasions around about 1300AD, so kinship and national strength are symbolized in the tryzub as strength and survival. The first words of the Ukrainian national anthem today are, "Still did not die Ukraine," implying that it is a group of people unlikely to have survived at all without this exact strength.
@@UhtredOfBamburgh Thank you so much for this beautiful comment! I've learned so much. I didn't know we shared such similar phrase opening the national anthem (ours starts with "Poland is not yet dead while we are alive"). The tryzub is very interesting, it really does look like a diving bird! It makes me think about the creation myth, in which one of the creators had to dive into the waters to retreive a bit of sand to start creating the earth. I've read some theories in books by a Polish author connecting the tryzub both with the Aquila constellation (the Eagle) and with various images e.g. the tamgas of nomadic people of the steppes. I can send you images he's gathered, if you like (are you on Instagram maybe?).
@@wolfofcoins Some of the symbols used by descendant Ukrainian royalty are a kind of tryzub but more like a sigil that resembles the tamgas you are talking about. I find it interesting that these sigil/tamgas remind me of the 8 tridents surrounding the European pagan gods wheel. I will try to find you on instagram
Hi! Since these are very different cultural areas and time periods, I didn't really seek connection here... But there are for example traces of similar imagery from ancient Greece. Thanks for your comment!
