We know, we know, passions will boil immediately after reading the title of this article. How can it be that our Ancestors had prayers! “The Slavs do not pray to their Gods for good!” - this is what many modern followers of faith in the Native Gods will tell you.
We ask you to forget for a while about the eternal enmity of Christianity and paganism. It is because of this enmity that we are in such a hurry to abandon the word “prayer” in order to show the differences of our faith, its dissimilarity from the faith of Christians. There are already enough differences between the Slavic and Christian worldviews! Therefore, today let us calmly discuss what prayer is, where this word itself came from, and whether we can read prayers to the Slavic Gods.
Do they turn prayers to pagan Gods?
Those who deny the existence of Slavic prayers usually say that it is a Christian word. Here's the first mistake.
Prayer as an appeal to God or the Goddess was known long before the advent of Christianity. The Egyptians said prayers to the solar God Ra and to other Gods known to them. The Greeks and Romans believed that every person should donate food to their Gods and turn to them in prayer.
Unfortunately, we have not preserved authentic recordings of Slavic texts, which would be as ancient as the enthusiastic Egyptian hymns addressed to the mighty Deities. The Slavic prayers that are known to us were written down much later, during the times of dual faith. However, the example of other countries shows us that pagans can also pray to their Gods.
Sacred places and symbols of Veles
It has long been customary to read prayers to the deity being studied in dedicated sacred places. He was worshiped in ravines and lowlands, as he was correlated with the chthonic god. These ideas arose at a time when Veles began to be associated with the afterlife.
Historically, he was often depicted in the form of a bear, considered the patron saint of the forest, so it is considered natural to carry the need to the forest. It is best to do this after sunset or at dusk. Night is considered his time.
To leave the request and read the Slavic prayer to Veles, find a deserted place that you yourself will like energetically. As a rule, this can be a thicket of trees or a clearing in the forest. Our ancestors believed that every tree in the forest was associated with a god or goddess. With Veles, for example, pine and other conifers.
Having chosen a tree, leave an offering at its roots, saying the words of prayer from yourself. After this, bow to the ground and go back with respect. If you feel an inner need, you don’t have to go home right away, but stay for a while and meditate a little on the spot. At the same time, open your arms as wide as possible, letting in the energy of nature through your stomach and heart. After looking at the stars through the branches of a pine tree, take a deep breath in the soothing and healing scent of pine needles. Then be sure to bend down to the ground, touching it with your palms, imbued with strength. Feel the element of the night forest, not frightening or hostile, but beautiful, cozy and familiar. Listen to the sounds of the night - it could be the tapping of branches, the hooting of owls, the creaking of mighty trees in the area.
Classic symbols of Veles are cow or bull horns, skins of bears and bulls, coins and gold. In the forest, places associated with it are also considered to be dead wood, anthills, mushrooms, moss, hazel, and coniferous trees.
Holidays dedicated to the deity are celebrated on the day of the winter solstice, that is, from December 22 to 23. The following dates are also associated with it: December 31, January 2 and 6, February 24, March 24 (Old Slavic Maslenitsa), April 23 (St. George's Day).
Where does the word prayer come from?
What does the very sound of this word remind you of? We feel a kinship with the words “rumor”, “rumor”. Our grandmothers still use the simple and short word “mol” in their speech. It means “people say” or “I know from someone’s words.”
Hence prayer is what is said. This is action through the word. Appealing to one of the Native Gods is not in a song or dance, not in a crowded holiday ritual, not even in a conspiracy, which, most often, is accompanied by ritual actions. For prayer, often all it takes is a sincere desire to turn to the Gods and reading the correct text.
Another word that is consonant with prayer is to diminish. Perhaps it is precisely this that those who proudly say that the Slavs do not pray to their Gods are afraid of. One can feel in this proud statement the desire to become equal to the Gods.
We see nothing wrong with a person “diminishing” his importance in comparison with the Gods. He admitted that he was small. That his life is short compared to the life of the Slavic Gods, his knowledge about the world is often small, and a simple person has not yet learned to work miracles. There is no harm in admitting the limitations of your strength. Let each of us be small, but behind us all together stand the Native Gods. The very ones to whom we turn in prayer, recognizing that we are small and they are great. This is the essence of the Slavic faith - knowledge of the power of each God and Goddess, gratitude for their care for our world and the lives of people.
Slavic love spells - establishing personal relationships
Love spells used by the ancient Slavs are not as harmless as they might seem at first glance. No matter how innocent the text itself may seem to you, it is always a kind of coercion and violent influence on the will and feelings of another person. Unlike other whispers, conspiracies and Slavic prayers, they contain dark energy. What you should definitely remember when planning to resort to their help. From a psychological point of view, this love practice can work due to two aspects:
- emotional - by reading a rhythmic spell text, delving into its essence and firmly believing in success, you can become a more confident person and, accordingly, more attractive to the opposite sex;
- physical actions - they consolidate and enhance the emotional effect of the Slavic conspiracy.
If you have a guy in mind for whom you have strong feelings and you are willing to take a serious risk, you can perform a special ritual. Find a birch grove or a free-standing birch tree. Take with you 3 scarlet ribbons and some running water. Tie the ribbons into a knot on the birch tree. To make the knots stronger, moisten them with water. And say:
“Oh, birch, beauty! Help me, help me! Send me love and happiness! Just as birds build nests in pairs, so I wish to meet my dear one!”
Conduct the ritual alone; read the text of this Slavic love spell in a whisper, but with a firm and confident intonation. After that, tighten the knots on the ribbons. Return home without turning around or speaking to anyone. If everything was done correctly, you will receive the first news from your lover within 3 to 7 days.
Another reason to turn your attention to Slavic prayers
Did you know that prayer best preserved the original texts of the Slavs? When the words of ancient conspiracies and praises to the Gods seem already forgotten and lost, we unexpectedly meet them in prayers! In the very texts that are presented as Christian.
For a long time, it was possible to turn to the Slavic tradition only under the guise of Christian ritual. People who still kept faith in the Native Gods in their hearts hid genuine pagan conspiracies in supposedly Christian prayers. The names of the Gods were changed to the names of saints. The essence of the texts remained the same.
The most amazing thing is that prayers from the times of dual faith have survived to this day. They are carefully recorded in notebooks and books kept by grandmothers in remote villages. We can read these texts today! Now, already having knowledge of the Slavic tradition, we easily return the names of our Gods and Goddesses to the texts of prayers.
Let's show an example of such a text: prayer against the evil eye and damage. Let us show it in the form in which it was transmitted from the Knower.
“I will stand, blessed, and go from gate to gate, into an open field, to the Okiyan Sea. On the Okiyan Sea there is a golden chair; Nikolai sits on a golden chair, holds a golden bow, pulls a silk bowstring, lays a red-hot arrow, will begin to teach lessons and prizes to shoot his father’s Duma and his mother’s Duma and his brothers’ Duma, all the people of the Duma, yellowish, oppressive and bitter; from the girl from the blackhead, from the terrible and the cross. From now on we will live forever.”
Instead of referring to the ancient Gods, here we find the name of Nicholas (Nicholas the Wonderworker). However, it is important to remember this - the Christian church has always been against prayers addressed to saints to fulfill their aspirations! Such prayers were considered a relic of paganism and for good reason! Look at this text itself, read it, listening to the rhythm. Before us is an ancient Slavic prayer-conspiracy, an appeal to the Native Gods, and not at all to a Christian saint.
What Slavic God is hidden in this text under the name of Nikola? Most often, in ancient prayers, under the name of Nikola or Mikola, an appeal to God Veles is hidden. Knowing this, you can read this prayer-conspiracy differently, directly turning to the Wise Veles, the patron of Magic and God, who helps to cleanse yourself of damage and the evil eye.
Slavic spells for good luck - how to become a favorite of fortune?
Not only Slavic love spells should be pronounced in a whisper, so that no one hears or knows. This principle also applies to Slavic conspiracies that attract good luck. In addition, there are certain requirements for the charmer himself, for example, he must have intact teeth so that the spell does not lose power.
Plot for good luck
Before reading the Slavic conspiracy, be sure to buy yourself a white shirt or shirt. Ideally, you should sew it yourself. The fact is that our ancestors believed that one should ask for help from the gods only in unworn clothing, which should inform them of the purity of the intentions of the person asking. You will also need a jug of cold spring water.
In the evening, before going to bed, but before midnight, place a jug of water in front of you and read the following words above it:
“Running water, Give me something to drink in a drought, So that I feel warm in the cold, So that I have enough to eat when I’m hungry, So that it’s not fierce, but nice and comfortable. My word is strong and molded, it is said and will come true.”
After this, wash your face with water from a jug 7 times and immediately go to bed, without speaking to anyone before going to bed. After this Slavic conspiracy, done at night, luck and luck will become your faithful companions. Remember, in a spell text you should never replace phrases or words, and you should not add them yourself. And do not neglect psychological preparation before performing the ritual: firm confidence that everything will work out for you, as well as in the existence of ancient ancestral Forces that can help you, will never hurt.
Summer Sheaf Day of Veles July 12
Veles Sheaf Day is celebrated on July 12th. The holiday received this name because from this day the Slavs began mowing and storing hay. They were engaged in this type of work while the dew was still on the grass. Even the sentence with which hay was mowed in the old days has been preserved:
Mow the scythe while there is dew - away with the dew, and we'll go home!
On July 12, the Slavs revered the last sheaf from the field. According to legend, the spirit of the field passed into it, and therefore the spirit of Veles. Each family took a sheaf from the field and placed it in the house, as a talisman against troubles for the whole year, until the next mowing.
Day of the Sheaf of Veles
Before the summer Veles, they tried to finish plowing and begin preparing for sowing winter crops. It was necessary to harrow before the day of Perun, and to sow before the Savior.
In addition, on July 12, the Alatyr stone was revered, which is still mentioned in every second conspiracy. Under this sacred stone is the entrance to Nav, and only the god Veles managed to roll it away from the entrance. Previously, the souls of the dead could not enter the afterlife.
A stone erected in honor of this deity at the crossroads of three roads was covered with bull skin on a summer holiday. It was watered with spring or well water. It flowed down the skin into jugs set up by local healers. This water was used to treat the sick.
On the day of the sheaf of Veles, the election of a sacrifice to the god Perun also took place. The formidable Slavic god did not have enough food and drink, as well as sacrificed animals. He demanded human blood. As a rule, captive enemies were sacrificed to Perun, and if there were none, a victim was chosen from slaves.
Who is Dazhdbog?
One of the main ones in the Slavic pantheon was Dazhdbog, who was considered the patron saint of fertility and sunlight. It is worth noting that he was not the only sun deity. The patron saint of the spring sun is Yarilo, the winter sun is Khors, and the summer sun is Dazhdbog. His name is translated as “blessing giver.” Dazhdbog is the progenitor of all ancient Slavs. You can find a mention of it in the famous work “The Tale of Bygone Years.” Although this deity was peaceful, he was one of the most skilled warriors of Iria.
Dazhdbog - symbol
There are several known symbols that relate to Dazhdbog. Since the deity represented is solar, the disk is considered its most popular sign. In addition, the solar square of Dazhdbog is known, which contains the sacred meaning of the power and grace of the deity. The figure of the sign shows that its energy of love extends to all four cardinal directions. Another symbol of this god is the ruby, which is the personal stone of the sun god. It remains to understand what powers the symbols of Dazhdbog have:
- For young people, they will clear the mind, give strength and guide them on the righteous path. With the help of such a talisman you can cope with various problems and troubles that arise along the way.
- For adults, Dazhdbog will help to gain peace of mind. In addition, the amulet will improve health and help you more easily find a common language with the younger generation.
- The powers of the amulet will attract happiness and love to people. Having such a talisman, a person begins to control his own thoughts and actions.
Summer and winter Dazhdbog
One of the most famous symbols of this deity are the winter and summer Dazhdbog. Outwardly, they are completely different, but they represent sunlight and abundant fertility. Dazhdbog in winter is the patron of wealth, light, natural phenomena, various benefits, and so on. The ancient Slavs applied it to idols, and it can also be seen on the stones of temples and sanctuaries of the Slavs.
Summer Dazhdbog patronizes all Slavs, regardless of place of residence and age. The symbol was depicted on temples, amulets, clothes, jewelry and sanctuaries. It has enormous power and helps to realize one’s cherished desires, maintain health and contribute to receiving other benefits. In addition, the summer symbol is considered the personification of the universe. A person who carries it on his chest will be able to easily stand out from the crowd.
When the matter is decided
When your wish comes true, you should read a separate prayer to Veles. This is a tradition that has existed since ancient times. It should be read in order for the work to bring exceptionally good results. Here is her text:
You are the crown of everything and earthly lives, Veles, our God! Let my heart be filled with joy from what has been created, for my deeds are with a pure heart and bright thoughts. May my deeds manifest themselves as fruits of goodness and glory to my family! Bless, Velese, let it be so!
It is also customary among pagan believers to turn to the deity every evening before going to bed. Supposedly this gives strength and self-confidence, helps to see prophetic dreams. Such treatment can protect from almost any evil that may come in the way of the sleeper. This prayer has a special text. Here he is:
Night sets foot on the earth, Veles walks through the dawns! Our God, he knows the Vedas and knows the way to Navi. I pray to Father Veles to take care of my soul in sleep, to drive away the Basurs and not to let bad thoughts go. May I see good and prophetic dreams, so that my heart may remain in harmony and peace. Let my sleep be sweet, like that of a healthy and vigorous child, for in dreams health is the essence of life. So be it! Glory to Veles!

Veles' code of health - what is it?
The Code of Health of Veles is a separate part of the complex of Slavic gymnastics, the teaching of which was restored by the doctor and sports instructor, specialist in martial arts and alternative medicine V.E. Meshalkin. Slavic Health was developed jointly with neurologist E.R. Barantsevich.
The exercises are similar to those inherent in many eastern techniques, but their roots are Slavic, according to the authors. Each vault of health is dedicated to the Slavic gods in accordance with what each of them represents. So, according to the author, the code of health of Veles has the following meaning:
The current book describes the author’s assumptions about the training of the Slavs, which allows them to “open” their feet (Velesozhary) and significantly increase their Strength potential, which determines the strength of the physical body, moral stability and spiritual determination.
In general, Veles was one of the most revered gods by the Slavs. Two holidays a year are dedicated to him, which are celebrated in Slavic communities even now. To learn even more about Veles Day, listen to Darislav Starikov’s lecture on this subject to Slavic Radio (~70 megabytes).
Glory to Veles
Glorifications of Veles are read before offering a service, making a request to the deity, and after receiving a gift from him:
In the night, Veles walks along Svarga, through the milk of Heaven, and goes to his palace. And at Dawn he returns to the gate. There we are Waiting for him to start singing and glorifying Veles from century to century. And glorify his Temple, which shines with many Fires, and becomes a pure altar. It was Veles who taught our Forefathers to plow the earth, to sow virgin lands and reap sheaves of ears in the harvested fields, and to place a sheaf on the fire in the house, and to honor Him as the Father of God, Glory to Veles!
God who protects sleep
When a person falls asleep, his body and soul are immersed in a mysterious and unknown world, which is on the border between the real and the otherworldly.
At this time, the human soul is especially vulnerable; it is believed that spirits live in this transitional place; they are responsible for the incomprehensible or prophetic dreams that we see and are able to influence our bodily shell. For example, grab it and take it with you. For this reason, our ancestors believed that it was imperative to offer a prayer to Yarila and Veles for the protection of sleep.
These two Slavic deities were considered a kind of conductors between the real and the other world. The ancestors believed that they were able to help the human soul cope with demons and not succumb to their persuasion and admonitions. To do this, one should read a prayer to Veles for the protection of sleep. Here is her text:
Night sets foot on the earth, Veles walks through the dawns! Our God, he knows the Vedas and knows the way to Navi. I pray to Father Veles to take care of my soul in sleep, to drive away the Basurs and not to let bad thoughts go. May I see good and prophetic dreams, so that my heart may remain in harmony and peace. Let my sleep be sweet, like that of a healthy and vigorous child, for in dreams health is the essence of life. So be it! Glory to Veles!
This text was considered very effective. Our ancestors believed that by turning to their divine intercessor every evening before going to bed, they would protect themselves from troubles and bad weather. Therefore, the prayer to Veles for the protection of sleep was read without fail.

The meaning of the Dazhdbog rune
The runic symbol, dedicated to one of the important deities of the Slavic pantheon, is called summer, because it personifies the gifts that nature presents to people in the summer. The Dazhdbog rune embodies the cornucopia, that is, the benefits received from God. It is worth noting that this refers not only to finances, but also to health, love, spiritual harmony, and so on. There are several more meanings of this rune; for example, it is associated with fateful meetings in a person’s life. When interpreting fortune telling, the Dazhdbog rune is considered a symbol of successful resolution of difficult situations.
