Slavic symbols. Types and meanings of Slavic symbols. Slavic symbols and the meaning of traditional Slavic symbolism
Here I post images and meanings of Slavic symbols that can be used in weaving. I took the designation of the symbols from various sources:
- Arina Nikitina “Patterned”
- Ruslan Nikitin “Vedas of Rus and Alatyr-Runes”
- Slavic-Aryan Vedas
- Marina Kachaeva “Treasures of Russian Ornament”
- Katsar M.S. "Belarusian ornament"
- Marina Kachaeva “The Magic of the Belt. Slavic belt in ritual and in life"
- Ruslan Nikitin “Yarilin Vedas”
And also from some sites whose definitions of the meanings of symbols were to my liking, but the sources are not indicated in them, just as it is not known on which site the definition appeared for the first time in order to at least indicate it as a source.
I named the names of the symbols taken from the book “Vedas of the Rus and Alatyr-Runes” by the names of the runes with which the author associated them. I decided that for now it was more correct, because my understanding of symbols still needs to be developed.
Since there are a lot of symbols, for ease of searching I have compiled a couple of tables. Clicking on the name of a symbol in the table will take you to its definition in the alphabetical index.
In the first table “Gods and Goddesses” the symbols (of course not all of the available ones) are divided into the Gods and Goddesses with which the symbols are associated. This will help you decide on the choice of symbols for men's and women's clothing(the second table will additionally help you decide on the symbols).
In the second table, “Purpose of Symbols,” symbols are distributed according to their main use. This will make it easier to select symbols to create a pattern for a specific task.
To enjoy the beauty of all the symbols presented in the gallery and get acquainted with their definitions, use alphabetical index below.

The word "symbol" has Greek roots. The ancient inhabitants called signs that had a secret meaning known to certain groups of people. For example, early Christians painted fish to be recognized by their fellow believers. The Greeks could not speak out loud about their views. The persecution of Christians and their executions forced us to be careful.
The ancients also had their own symbols. They also reproduced their belief in something in visual images. And our ancestors believed in the forces of nature. They were deified. So that the elements would not destroy or dry up, but, on the contrary, would help in life, the Russians sketched them in the form of signs.
These signs were placed on clothes, weapons, and houses. This is how the Slavs sought the favor of higher powers and asked them for protection. It all started with 3 symbols - fire, water and earth. We will reveal the entire spectrum of Slavic symbols, from the earliest to the latest.
Makosh
Makosh is a symbol of the earth, named after the Goddess who commands it. First Slavic symbols easy to "read". Diamond means field. If it is empty, it means it has not yet been sown. If divided into sectors, it is plowed. A field with dots indicates that there will be a harvest soon.
The general interpretation of the symbol is fertility. An ancient conspiracy pronounced in honor of Mother Raw Earth has been preserved. We invite you to listen to it and look at the options for depicting Mokosh, both in human and graphic forms. Sometimes, the Slavs refused to use the rhombus.
Abyss
Abyss is a sign water element and her spirits. They, according to the ideas of our ancestors, lived above the sky. The expression “the abysses of heaven opened up” is still used to describe rainy days. The symbol itself can also be found in ornaments on clothes, carved elements of furniture and houses. But not everyone remembers the nuances of the meaning of the image.
Meanwhile, the Slavs used horizontal lines to designate only rivers and The groundwater. The second option for abyss is vertical lines. They symbolized rain and waterfalls.
IN ancient Slavic symbols straight lines are also included. This is a sign of stagnant waters - whirlpools, swamps. The absence of waves indicates the dominance of wickedness. In all Russian legends, evil spirits live exclusively in stagnant bodies of water.
Agni
Agni is a general designation for fire. However, he was part of Slavic symbols and amulets in several types. The Russians shared the earthly flame - bonfires, fires and heavenly fire - lightning. The last one was controlled by Perun.
God Semargl was responsible for the elements in the earthly world. It’s interesting that our ancestors only extinguished live fires with water. The heavenly flame, according to Slavic beliefs, was only kindled by water. Therefore, fires caused by lightning were doused with milk and bread kvass.
Despite the destructive forces, agni entered Slavic signs and symbols goodness, pure elements. By the way, the earthly flame had a spouse - the same Abyss. According to legend, the lovers quarreled due to constant rivalry between themselves. As a result, the fire hid in flint, from which people had to cut it out.
Agni is included in the pantheon of swastika symbols. The Slavs had more than 124 of them. Not all images and, especially, their meanings have survived to this day. However, let's try to figure out what kind of community of signs this is.
Kolovrat
Kolovrat – Slavic solar symbol, like most swastika ornaments of the ancient Slavs. The connection with the daylight is visible from the name. For our ancestors, the word “kolo” meant “solar circle.” The life of the tribes completely depended on it, the harvest and way of life depended.
Therefore, drawings with rays diverging from the center were so popular. In the first third of the 20th century, one of the signs was used by Hitler. This tarnished the symbol. Initially, it carried only a positive charge. The Russians and the Germanic tribes were related. Their sign systems were similar.
That swastika Slavic symbol, indicate artifacts found by archaeologists in western Russia and stored in state museums. We bring to your attention a video with evidence. The entry will also tell you about several more swastika symbols of the Russians.
Veles
The Slavs deified everything in nature. Every tree, stone, pond, house, and phenomenon had its own spirit. Many of them were associated with solar, swastika images. But several symbols of Slavic Gods look different. For example, the sign of Veles was drawn like an inverted letter “A”.
The triangle is a prototype of the head. The inverted sickle above it resembles horns. It turns out to be the head of a bull. What's the connection? Veles was considered the patron saint of cattle. At the same time, God was responsible for inspiration, helping singers, musicians and other creators.
Valknut
Valknut is the sign of God Odin. It is considered Scandinavian. But the Russians also believed in this supreme spirit of war. Valkyries served him. They circled over the battlefields, picked up the fallen and carried them to the heavenly city.
There, food awaited the slain, which was also presented to the Valkyrie. Valknuts made of metal, wood, embroidered on clothes - symbols of the Slavic faith that the protectors of the clan find a better life in the upper world.
Perunitsa
Perunitsa looks like lightning because it is associated with Perun. The Thunder God was associated among the Russians with light in the darkness. Slavic family symbol our ancestors were perceived as a sign of victory over the evil hidden in the darkness. “Lightning” was carved in stone, embroidered on dresses, and applied to plows, prophesying prosperity, a bright and successful future.
Full information about the heavenly spirit and its incarnations, see the video “Legacy”. Its author will not only talk about Perun, but will also provide video footage of the celebration of the Thunderer in modern conditions. Perun Day falls on July 20th.
Svarog Square
Our ancestors considered Svarog one of the patrons of fire. God was also responsible for wisdom, marriage, and helped hunters and blacksmiths. Svarog is the supreme spirit, the head of the pagan pantheon.
Therefore, it was in his name that most oaths were sealed. Svarog's wife is the main Goddess of the female pantheon, Lada. Her sign is swastastic. The symbol is called a ladin and resembles a wheel with 8 axles.
But, on geometric compositions Slavic symbols and their meaning don't end. The Russians also chose realistic images of animals as amulets. The tribes considered them totems, that is, they believed that their progenitors were bears and moose. Let's talk about them.
Bear
The bear reflects the mentality of the Russians. At least that's what they think in the West. They say about the beast: “The bear is clumsy, and hefty.” It was not for nothing that the United Russia party members chose the predator as their sign. This is how politicians emphasized the character of the Russian people. But, now about the history of the symbol. So, our ancestors admired the strength of the bear.
He was called the owner of the forest and was associated with Veles, one of whose meccas was groves and oak forests. Clubfoots were included in Slavic symbols tattoo. There is written evidence of its existence in Rus'. One of them was left by the Arab traveler Ibn Fadlan, who lived in the 10th century.
Wolf
It is no coincidence that the wolf’s muzzle in the picture is enclosed in the outline of one of the Vedic runes. It does not belong to the “alphabet” of the ancient Slavs; it was borrowed by them from the Scandinavian selection of runes. The sign is called "otal". Its decoding is “inheritance”. 5 tribes of our ancestors considered themselves heirs or descendants of wolves.
They included dog-like predators in Slavic symbols of wealth. Historians have found an explanation for this attitude towards wild animals. He defended the crops of the Russians.
They, as a rule, came into contact with the forest. Roe deer came out of the oak forests, trampling the crops, and hares ran out, eating the seedlings. Wolves did not cause harm; on the contrary, they hunted those who bothered the farmers.
In ancient times, as they say, there was no need for wolves to eat the livestock of the Slavs. There was plenty of game in the native forest. This is how our ancestors built their interaction with predators. They were not killed, but they were considered lucky to find a dead animal. They skinned him and pulled out his fangs. These items were considered talismans of the tribe.
Boar
The swastika sign depicted next to the animal is a symbol of the heavenly boar. He was considered one of the incarnations of God Perun. The analogy was drawn thanks to the sharp tusks of a wild boar.
These are lightning falling from the sky. Our ancestors believed in this. Like wolf fangs, they used boar tusks as amulets, in particular against fires caused by lightning.
Slavic symbols, photo which are discussed in the article, Russians embroidered on towels and clothes. But our ancestors did not have the tradition of carving images of totems in wood, like the Scandinavians.
Elk
Deer and moose cows were included in Slavic symbols for women. Totems emphasized their role as mothers. The forest animal was a sign of fertility. The Russians tried to get the animal's horns. Their shape reminded our ancestors of rays.
The seedlings in the fields depended on it. It was believed that the warmth of the luminary also helped women give birth. Therefore, elk antlers in the house were a valuable amulet. The trophy, as a rule, was placed above the entrance to the home.
Elk - not only Slavic symbol of the sun, but also the world tree. The horns remind him too. In pagan times, the Russians considered the tree the center of the world. The trunk denoted the earthly lands, the roots - the underground kingdom, the crown - the sky.
Somewhere above the branches, according to our ancestors, there was Iriy - a semblance of Paradise. The legends indicate that the world tree grows on Buyan Island. So, the lost land from Pushkin’s fairy tale is a folklore image of the Russian people, and not an invention of the author.
To write his works, Alexander Sergeevich used the Cyrillic alphabet. This is the alphabet familiar to us, adopted after the baptism of Rus'. But, until the 9th century, the Slavs had a different writing system - the Vedas or, as they are also called, runes.
Each of them is more than a letter. The signs were compared with gods and used as talismans. We have already talked about one of the runes associated with the image of a wolf. It's time to get acquainted with the rest of the Vedas included in Slavic symbols and amulets. Their meaning, Further.
World
"world" opens the Vedic alphabet. The "letter" is similar in appearance to the antlers of a moose and the tree of life, so "world" was used to represent them. But the main interpretation of the sign is associated with Belobog.
This bright spirit protected the Slavic families. The very word “peace” in the language of the tribes meant precisely their community, unity. Therefore, the Veda is included in Slavic symbols, pictures which serve as amulets for the family and, in general, for humanity.
Altyr
The word “altyr” is not in vain reminiscent of “altar”. This is a divine place, the center of the universe. This is exactly how our ancestors understood the Veda. If needed download Slavic symbols, denoting both the beginning and the end of all things, the “altyr” sign is the best choice.
The rune can be compared to the eastern symbol “yin-yang”. “The Letter” indicates the eternal struggle between chaos and order, Belobog and Chernobog - the spirit of destruction and evil.
Rainbow
The modern letter "r" can be called a stylization of the "rainbow". Our ancestors saw in this Veda a sign of the path, the joy of life's path. According to Russian beliefs, the path of the rainbow leads to the altar. “Letter” helps to find the shortest vector. The Slavs used the symbol so as not to get lost while walking towards their goal.
Force
This means not only physical strength. To walk the path of the rainbow, you need the power of consciousness, freedom from the shackles of your own consciousness. Veda serves Slavic symbol of good luck. Hunters tried to have his image with them. The first written mentions of the runes of our ancestors date back to the 6th century.
The lines were recorded by the Gothic scholar Jordanes. But, modern historians believe that the iconic alphabet was formed in the 4th century AD. This is confirmed by archaeological finds on the territory of Moldova. Its lands were inhabited by Slavic tribes.
Eat
The Veda served as a sign of the natural variability of existence. The rune contains hidden energy that gives the grass the strength to grow, run through the veins, and the juices of the earth through the trunks.
However, Slavic signs and symbols and their meaning associated not only with the positive aspects of life. There were about 20 Vedas in the “alphabet” of the pagans. We consider the main ones. So, let's get acquainted with the signs that are rarely used as amulets.
Need
This Veda is a symbol of inevitability, evil fate. The sign was used in cases where people were subjected to coercion and captivity. To this day, magicians use “need” to appeal to the dark forces of nature, which are controlled by Chernobog. In a later version of Slavic beliefs, this is Veles.
Rock
Veda meant fateful, inevitable events. Sometimes, “rock” was used to mean “hopelessness.” If the sign fell in, it meant that the situation was controlled by higher powers and nothing depended on the person. In the study of the symbols of the ancient Slavs, the “rock” rune is unlikely to be decisive.
Whether or not to get acquainted with traditions and the history of ancestors is everyone’s volitional decision. In former times, the Slavs considered familiarity with the traditions of their clan mandatory. Perhaps this is why echoes of paganism remain strong in modern culture.
Cross of Lada-Virgin— A symbol of Love, Harmony and Happiness in the family, people called it Ladinets. As a talisman, it was worn mainly by girls in order to have protection from the “evil eye”. And so that the power of Ladinets was constant, he was inscribed in the Great Kolo (Circle).
Ladinets, also known as Harmony of the Feminine, is a feminine Amulet that brings the feminine essence to harmony. Calmness and joy in your soul are immediately reflected in your appearance - you become more beautiful and attractive, and most importantly, healthier.
The amulet gives peace, joy and awareness of oneself as a Woman.

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 Mother in Childbirth. 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.

In every folk culture, sooner or later an esoteric system of signs arises, conveying knowledge, mystical abilities or concepts of deities in the simplest geometric shapes and their combinations. Slavic symbols, for example, are an integral part of the faith and community of distant ancestors.
The best scientists in the world are working to decipher the degree of their importance for culture and religion. The Slavs are one of the most numerous nationalities in the world, living mainly in the territory of the South and of Eastern Europe. It took a long time for scientists to discover detailed evidence of their beliefs and rituals. The symbols of the Slavs are similar to classical runes. They reproduce in a visual image faith in a higher power. The ancestors of the Slavs deified natural phenomena and asked them for protection.
Every person has seen a swastika amulet at least once in his life. Contrary to popular belief, the Kolovrat is a Slavic symbol of the sun, and not a fascist sign. The ancient word “kolo” means a circle or a wheel, so it is assigned to personify the annual rotation of the solar disk as an endless process. has several aspects of interpretation that are worth knowing about:
- The amulet conceals the seasonality of the seasons and a series of natural elements - fire, water, earth and air. For this reason, the classic Kolovrat has exactly eight rays.
- The second name for swastika Slavic symbols is svarga, because it moves across the sky like the sun.
- The direction of the rays from the center to the edges shows the connection of the sign with light deities who promise good protection.
The Slavic goddess Lada was given a special place in the pantheon of Slavic idols. She played the same meaning for the female sex as the symbol of the sun among the ancient Slavic men. Like Svarog, Lada was a primordial god at the top of the pantheon. She took part in the creation of man, which allowed women to consider her the keeper of the hearth and strong marriages. The symbol of the goddess Lada among the Slavs is called the Star of Rus' and looks like an eight-pointed star, including a square intertwined with two ellipses. It is used as a talisman in the following cases:
- disagreements with husband;
- insufficient disclosure of feminine qualities;
- lack of mutual understanding in the family;
- childlessness or diseases of the female genitourinary system.
This people also had symbols that did not have a specific deity personifying them. This is the patron saint of people, Rod, who manifested himself in all living things - from flowers and trees to livestock and people. It was believed that by caring for his loved ones, a person manifests what a particle of the Family has laid in him. Its sign is identical to the four-pointed swastika with rounded edges. The Slavic amulet symbol of the Family was used for:
- Family survival. In difficult times, the swastika was depicted on clothing, household utensils and other household items.
- Protection during combat operations. Such sacred symbols Slavs, as a sign of the Family, were applied to shirts and sheaths so that their owner would survive in a mortal battle.
- Help in discovering talent. Teenagers who were confused about choosing a job or suffering from bad habits were given amulets with Rod in order to return them to a righteous life.
The name of this sign not only echoes the name of the Scandinavian warrior goddesses, but is a kind of mirror reflection of the myths about them among the Slavic peoples. No other symbols of the ancient Slavs carry such a powerful protective meaning for defenders and warriors. Three interesting facts are connected with the Valkyrie:
- Not everyone was allowed to wear it: the prerogative was given to active participants in combat battles, but not to veterans and disabled people returning from the war.
- Solar Slavic symbols, which the Valkyrie is, are designed to smooth out the energy of war and calm the anger of people.
- The emblem was considered capable of protecting priestly books from prying eyes.
Perunov color or fern flower is one of the oldest signs of Slavic affiliation. The eight-pointed swastika has a special esoteric meaning: it personifies the all-conquering power of solar energy. The symbol of the fern among the Slavs is evidence of the love of the Bathing Lady and the heavenly warrior, to whom Perun presented the flower as a gift. It blooms only once a year - on the summer solstice, which falls on June 20, 21 or 22, depending on the solar cycle. Perun's color has a dual nature, which all priests knew about in ancient times:
- On the one hand, it is a powerful weapon against evil spirits: the protective symbols of the Slavs for the home were always decorated with its image. It was believed that it prevented devils and demons from entering the house.
- On the other hand, the fern itself attracted dishonest people. It brought good luck in theft and discovery of other people's treasures, which made it a popular talisman among thieves.
There were also amulets that were only allowed to be used by people with the gift of prophecy or divination. Future witches and oracles revered Alatyr - an eight-pointed star, personifying the center of the world and the eye of the entire clan, concentrating its knowledge and power. It was created by Svarog and used by Ilya Muromets in the battle with otherworldly forces. Alatyr is a symbol of the Slavs, uniting the unity of two principles - male and female. It must be used for the purpose of:
- protection of family members of a healer or witch;
- bringing harmony and enlightenment;
- finding balance and taming internal forces;
- receiving hidden messages from the gods.
If the Valkyrie was familiar to the Scandinavian peoples, the shamrock is still popular in Ireland to this day. The protective symbols of the Slavs in the form of three petals are also called a sign. Both in Ireland and in Rus' it was part of sacred ceremonies used in the course of priestly traditions. Due to its pagan past, there is still widespread debate about its relevance in Christian culture. The three-leaf clover is considered the ideal of natural harmony due to its equilateral contours and proves the existence of divine providence in nature.
The trefoil is often confused with the triquetra due to the phenomenal similarity of the two signs. Triquetra differs in that it does not have a “leg”-base, which a clover leaf has. It is often called the “Varangian” symbol, although the ancient Celts depicted it no less often in their sanctuaries. The triquetra is not like other protective symbols of the Slavs: it was a way to pass on through generations knowledge about the movement of the Sun across the sky. Its angles are the main positions of the luminary when it is at dawn, at its zenith and before sunset.
Considering that almost all swastika-like signs depicted Svarog traveling through the sky, it is logical that he would have a chariot. Garudas are pagan symbols of the Slavs, identified as a fiery cart on which Svarog and Vyshen traveled. It is also curious that sometimes they were painted as space birds - fulfillers of cherished desires. Similar images were left in temples by devotees in India. The Garuda amulet is needed for the following purposes:
- resolving life's difficulties;
- going through the agony of separation;
- expansion of consciousness and abandonment of everyday problems;
- endowing the body with powerful energy.
This sign migrated to the Vedas of the Russians after their acquaintance with the German-Scandinavian people. The image belonged personally to the god Odin: it was dedicated to the Ygdrasil tree, which contained all nine worlds, including the Earth. Replenishing the ancient Slavic symbols, the valknut was renamed the knot of the chosen ones. It was considered a triune sign, revealing such aspects of the universe as:
- uniting the worlds of past, present and future;
- unity of soul and body;
- a subtle connection between members of the same family - both living and dead.
