The strongest conspiracies of Veles were used by our ancestors everywhere - in ancient times this Slavic god was considered a friend of all people living on earth. He helped in difficult years, drove away evil, attracted prosperity and joy.
The support of the deity was manifested in helping those in need. He repeatedly cured terminally ill patients, raised them to their feet and extended the years of their lives. Thanks to special amulets, the Slavs protected their homes from evil entities.
According to the beliefs that have come down to us, we can understand that the Slavs trusted the reading of conspiracies only to strong people with will and powerful character. Only a person who is confident in the correctness of his actions is helped by nature.
Functions of a deity
Prayers were offered to Veles on a variety of occasions. First of all, of course, attention was paid to its agricultural functions. Initially, the cult of this deity is considered the oldest common Slavic.
It is interesting that in Christian culture there are still ideas about this character as a devil, an evil spirit. At the same time, his image was partially assimilated. Thus, Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, who patronized trade and wealth, took over some functions and was considered the master of the sea and underground worlds.
During Christian times, Veles, due to the consonance of his name, practically merged with Saint Blaise, who was the patron saint of cattle.
The remains of the cult survived for the longest time in the Russian North, where temples dedicated to it were created for many more years. It is noteworthy that for the reconstruction of the cult, folk icons of St. Blaise were of great importance, as well as conspiracies and folk prayers in which his name was used. The cult of Blasius himself is often compared to the cult of the bear, the owner of animals. A Russian folk tale has survived to this day, in which this beast appears in the demonic image of a forest king who begins to collect tribute from people.
In this regard, many rightly call him the patron saint of not only people, but also animals. He is considered the bearer of all kinds of material wealth. In prayers to the god Veles, it is customary to turn to the god Veles for health and protection from evil spirits, since he is associated with the kingdom of the dead and moves between worlds. At the same time, Veles is a good god; he has never been associated with evil spirits.
As a result, people turned to him for material benefits, asked for success in art and creativity, good work, and help in the fight against disease. In general, his sphere of influence was very wide, extending to all possible spheres of human life.
It is worth noting that almost all prayers to the god Veles, which can be found in various sources, are remakes. For the most part, they are created on the basis of a certain skeleton, fragmentary information that has come down to us from antiquity. At the same time, you need to be prepared for the fact that some of the rituals will simply be a figment of the imagination of today's neo-pagans. Some were created by modern shamans, in which case they can really have effective sacred power.
To pray to Veles, you need to install his symbol on your home altar. As an alternative, the Slavic deity is addressed in the lap of nature. Each ritual has certain principles based on the characteristics of pagan traditions; they must be adhered to.
When reading cleansing prayers and spells, you should definitely light a fire. If you make a specific request, then it should be supported by external signs and a small ritual should be performed. It all depends on your need at a particular moment. It is extremely important to read the glorification of Veles in gratitude for the help already received or upcoming. For example, they place demand on stones. This can be bread or porridge prepared by you personally from any cereal, pancake or flatbread. This material gift is presented in the form of a symbol. For example, a beautiful coin or stone. After some time, it should be taken to the forest and left in a secluded place.
Winter Veles Day - February 11 or 28
The Slavs celebrated Veles Day not only in summer, but also in winter. Nowadays, Slavic communities still argue about the correct date of celebration - February 11 and 28. The editors of the site are inclined to the first option due to the diametric calendar opposite to the summer holiday.
Celebrating the winter day of Veles
Veles Day in February was more spectacular than the summer holiday in his honor. According to legend, Veles knocks off Winter's horns and she loses her strength.
The holiday began after sunset with the priests reading glorifications as a sign of gratitude to Veles for what he gave to the people. After glorification and prayers, demands were brought: butter, pork, fur, oats, honey, eggs, wool, bread, beer. At the end of the ritual part of the holiday, it was time for round dances around a large fire.
Various fire performances, competitions of swordsmen and archers, and fist fights were held. In honor of Veles, a festive meal was also held, in which the entire settlement, young and old, took part.
On this bright holiday, witches have always tried to harm people, having their own reasons for this. On Veles Day, they made creases in the fields to ruin the harvest. In order to protect themselves from the machinations of witches offended by the villagers, thistle stems were stuck in the corners of the field.
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).
Fulfillment of desires
It was believed that Veles could help fulfill almost any desire. Of course, if you ask him about it correctly. True, one should not expect a miracle; even our distant ancestors did not count on it. For everything to come true, you yourself will need to take specific actions aimed at achieving your goal. Thanks to turning to the pagan deity, the path to this goal will be unhindered and easier.
Our ancestors were sure that the ancient conspiracy addressed to Veles was attractive. This means that it cannot be used to punish enemies or remove anything from your life. You can only ask that something you need and need appear in it. This could be health, profit, assistance in selling or opening a business; a pagan god can even assist in a successful marriage. Everything you can ask him for must be of an exclusively positive nature. The ritual itself should be performed on the waxing moon, preferably starting on Monday.
The classic pagan ritual is carried out over seven days. For this you will need a tall candle made from natural wax. At the same time, its color can be absolutely any, you cannot take only black. Take also seven keys and seven needles. Choose light keys so that they can hang on a needle stuck in a candle. You can even take souvenir ones, for example, intended for jewelry. You will also need to stock up on honey and birch bark.
If you do not yet have a home altar, you will need to make one in order to carry out the ritual of worship of Veles in accordance with all the rules. A small table is suitable for this. The main thing is to warn everyone at home so that they do not touch the objects placed on it.
The ritual should begin by clearly and unambiguously articulating your desire. Write it on birch bark in advance in such a way as if this event has already happened. For example, “I married a worthy man” or “I received a promotion.” It is important to consider that you should not ask for strength of body and spirit in this way, because there is a special prayer to Veles for recovery. But he told her later.
Next, say praise to the deity, light the fire and bring small demands. For seven days you will need seven candles, each time they must burn to the very end. Place a candle coated with honey on the birch bark on which your wish is written. After this, insert needles into the candle at different intervals, and hang one key on each of them. Light the candle coated with honey from the required fire, start reading the plot. Here is his text:
How fire burns, how water flows, how birds fly, how animals run. So Veles opens roads, unlocks locks, removes obstacles. The candle burns for seven days, seven keys hang on it. Keys fall, locks open, roads to my desire are unlocked. To the glory of Velesov, according to my word, my word is strong. Truly!
After reading this plot, say out loud the wish you are waiting for to come true. Leave the candle burning until the last needle with the key falls. Only after this can it be repaid. Be sure to do this directly with your fingers, do not blow out the candle. Do not touch fallen keys and needles until the end of the ceremony. They must lie on the altar for all seven days. As soon as the last key falls, the birch bark on which the wish is written should be burned on the home altar. Store the remaining ashes from it, as well as keys, needles and wax from the ritual candle under the threshold of your home or near the front door. The main thing is that they should not come into view of anyone.
What is needed for the ceremony?
- altar: black plat (for the hope of purification), white or red plat (for the hope of acquisition or protection), or a lunar altar, or a star altar.
- Chur of God Veles, or His image, or sign; if not, then draw or do embroidery;
- red, white, or black wax candle (depending on the ritual); 20 minutes is enough. combustion; candlestick; matches; a small ashtray for a burnt match and/or splinter; extinguishing cap;
- vercha with the sign of God, which will be taken to nature; A salt dough cut with the sign of God Veles is a wonderful magical item; The cut is hard, but when left in nature, it disintegrates into its original components; if there is no such Reza, then it can be made from another material (for example, wax), or carefully drawn;
- a monstrance on which will lie spinning with the sign of God and, if you ask for your aspirations, other gifts (cow butter, rolls, lard, grain, oats, honey, eggs, bagels, kvass, pea lumps, porridge, butter, gems, wool, canvas, coins, one or the other);
- salt shaker with white (or black) salt;
- item for a protective circle;
- metal protective omulets (pendants, bracelets, rings) during the ritual
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!
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.
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.
Koloslavy to Veles
Koloslav is a short text that is supposed to be recited until the heart is filled with delight and gratitude. They are similar to Tibetan mantras, and act on the subconscious and the universe in approximately the same way.
Slavic mantras, for the most part, are dedicated to the gods in whom our ancient ancestors believed. Thus, Koloslavs were traditionally sung to Veles during festive round dances in his honor, as well as when the help of this deity was needed.
Text:
Goy ese Velese! Well done, go, go!
Like Tibetan mantras, Koloslavs to Veles can be chanted or read to yourself, mentally.

Conspiracy to Veles for the well-being of the home
For the ceremony, you will need to sew a small handbag in advance - it is important that you do this yourself.
The purchased option will not work. Then tie several feathers with thread. Prepare a container of water, a candle made of yellow wax, sprigs of yarrow and juniper. Also for the ritual action you need incense and ten-kopeck coins (three will be enough).
Sit on the floor. Place a lit candle nearby. You will need to build a triangle using coins. Now say the spell:
Afterwards, go around every corner of your home with incense - the pleasant and slightly intoxicating smell will drive out all evil. Read at the same time:
Soak the feathers in water. Spray walls, windows, doors - follow the clock hand. At this moment say the following text:
Now it's time for the plant branches - put them in the sewn bag. This will be your home talisman hanging above your front door.
The bag will only let in prosperity, and all the negativity will remain outside the door. To activate the power of a protective talisman, say:
Let the used candle burn completely - no need to extinguish it. Money will also protect your home if hidden under the rug.
How to defeat enemies?
As we have already noted, all appeals and prayers addressed to Veles can be exclusively positive. In them you can ask God for this or that help, to improve your well-being. But if you need prayer to crush your enemies, there is no point in turning to Veles. Another Slavic deity, Perun, will help you with this. It was from him, since the time of our ancestors, that it was customary to ask for protection and support in difficult matters.
For example, there is an appeal to Perun, which can be read anywhere and at any time, as soon as you have an urgent need and need to receive his help. For example, if you need to excel in some difficult matter or get reliable protection from enemies. If possible, read this text immediately after making the request:
Perun! To those who call upon You, be Glorious and Trislavic! Give health and abundance to all the children of Svarozh, show mercy to the families, rule over everyone, from the Motherland! So be it, so be it, so be it!
Ideally, you should memorize the words presented above so that you can immediately start reading them when needed. When you get the desired result, do not forget to show gratitude to the deity. Only in this case will it be favorable to all your subsequent requests.
Ancient Slavic prayers to the gods
When they talk about ancient Slavic prayers of the Slavs, they mean traditional ritual words that the Slavs used to communicate with Higher powers. The word “prayer” was not present in Old Church Slavonic vocabulary. This is due to the fact that the Slavs glorified their Gods and... Unlike Christians, they never asked them for anything. That is why the Slavs called appeals to God “glorification.”
Glorifications or appeals to the Higher Powers have always been a mandatory attribute of all major ritual holidays. In addition, every day the ancient Slavs read morning and evening praises; such prayers were offered before meals, before traveling and before starting any business. But it should be understood that ancient Slavic prayers were not canon, turning to God was not considered an obligatory event, it was necessary to do this only when the desire arose. For example, if a person wanted to praise God for a successful day, then he did it. Very often praises were offered to Perun for his victory over his enemies.
Ancient Slavic prayers are very diverse. It is important to choose the right prayer address. The words must be pronounced very sincerely and it is not at all necessary to follow the existing texts. It is allowed to replace both individual words and individual phrases in your own way. It is important that prayer comes from the depths of the soul.
There is no such thing as a “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.
