Rituals and rituals during the winter and summer solstices. Summer Solstice Holiday: All Russian Traditions and Folk Signs

Kupalo God of the manifestation of Love, the God of spiritual and bodily purification, the guardian of couples in love, the power of fertilization, the embodiment of achieving the goal.

On the Kupala holiday, the greatest flowering of Nature is observed. On this day, Mother Earth has the most magical power that it gives to everyone, and fire and water are the greatest life-giving healing effect. Kupala dew is considered healing and life-giving, and the herbs collected on Kupala have extraordinary magical powers. This holiday unites people with the Divine world of Nature.

On the holiday of God Kupala, the Heavenly Gates open and all prayers easily and freely fly to Iriy to the Native Gods. This is Nai best time in order to start new important things, to conceive bold dreams.

The holiday begins in the evening, on the eve of Kupala. The basis of the holiday around which the actions take place is the Kupala fire. Jumping over fire means spiritual and bodily cleansing, burning all troubles, diseases, etc. If a guy and a girl jump three times over the fire, this means that they are announcing their engagement to everyone, so you don’t need to jump with anyone.

Girls who aspire to get married weave wreaths “for happiness, for fate” and put them on the water so that the Goddess Dana conveys their message to the Gods. A guy who wants to marry a girl catches her wreath in the water.

According to custom, people spend the whole night at the festive and sacrificial bonfires in order to meet the newborn Sun-Kupala in the morning and say glory and prayers to Him. They also say that on the feast of God Kupala, the Sun itself seems to bathe.
As with most useful and, in accordance with the Tradition of our Ancestors, spend the time of the Kupala holidays
The time of the Kupala holidays is considered one of the most energetically strong not only in summer, but throughout the year. These days are filled to the brim with energy, and where you direct it, how you use it, depends on you.
The most important thing is to determine what you need to dedicate your time and attention to. Best use Kupala power is a co-tuning of one's internal elements with the elements of Nature.
Nature is all that is with God Rod. To live in a single rhythm with Nature means to live according to the Primordial Cones of the Universe, and to live according to the Cones of the Universe means to be healthy, happy and in abundance, Love and balance. Without maintaining the harmony of all vibrations of the Life Force in his body and consciousness, a person begins to get sick, suffer, feel sad, there is a discord in his affairs.
Kupala holidays, if carried out correctly, just make it possible to improve the quality of the vibrations of the energies of all bodies and shells of a person, to become healthy and happy. If for some reason you were not able to spend all the previous holidays of Krugolet (Kologod) in accordance with the Traditions of our Ancestors, then during the Kupala holidays you can make up for lost opportunities, improve your health and gain strength for the entire upcoming Krugolet (Kologod).

You need to start from June 21-23 - these are the shortest nights of the year. These days and nights are full of Life Force. Therefore, I recommend:

You can start the day of the summer solstice with a set of yoga exercises - Surya on mah (bow) to Ar (Earth), which is called "Salutation of the Sun" (Surya Maskar in Sanskrit).

On the Internet you will find many descriptions of this practice and educational videos. This is a great start to any day, not just the summer solstice. Just on the days of the solstice, you will be filled with powerful force from the Sun.

2. The solstice is also good for the birth of a dream.

Early in the morning, looking at the Sun, say: “Dazhdbog-Father, Red Sun, bless me in my work, bless my dream, illuminate with a bright light, warm with a beam.” Then say your dream out loud.

Before this, it is desirable to get rid of the old "troubles". You can silently say something like "I am grateful to let go of (name the problem), I have learned my lesson and now I am clearing myself for new, happy changes in my life." After that, you can be specific about your dreams and what changes you are inviting into your life.

On the day of the summer solstice, the Solar Power increases and the potential for meditation and spiritual practices increases dramatically. You need to spend this time in Nature: go out of town - into the forest, into the mountains, to the country house, or at least go to the park. If possible, these days should be spent in solitude, silence and prayer practice.

Ask Nature your innermost questions, and then just sit and listen, observe everything that happens inside and around you. What is Nature talking to you about, what does it tell you?

These days are very powerful. It is on these days that healers collect medicinal plants for their potions, because. these days they are most charged with mighty solar energy.

Solar herbs and other plants collected at this time have powerful healing power: wormwood, burdock, St. John's wort, mistletoe, dill, parsley, green onions, thyme, honeysuckle, hyssop, nettle, meadowsweet. Some of them, for example, nettle, mountain ash, burdock, dill, are used to protect the house from evil.

On the day of the summer solstice, you can collect protective herbs. In order to prepare protective herbs, you need to ask permission and blessing from Mother Earth. Say aloud: “Mother Earth, bless me, take herbs, and mothers to me!”

Protective herbs are herbs that have the ability to protect against evil invisible to our eyes:

Verbena is very closely associated with the summer solstice and has almost the same protective power as St. John's wort. She has great abilities to cleanse the surrounding space from evil, does not let him enter your house.

You need to collect verbena in the morning of the summer solstice, always with your left hand. By the way, ancient way win over the good spirits of your home - hang vervain in the corners of your house or apartment.

St. John's wort.

St. John's wort is a plant of the summer solstice, a plant of the Sun. Its bright yellow flowers symbolize the Sun. St. John's wort protects from evil spirits, binds their strength.

But it must be collected during the summer solstice, when it is gaining the greatest strength. Even the plant itself, if hung in the corners of the house, will serve as an excellent protection against all evil spirits.

Its protective properties have long been used in witchcraft. Here, for example, to alleviate or even completely remove the curse, you can fill a small bag with nettle leaves and always carry it with you.

If you want to get rid of evil forces and direct their malice at themselves, then scatter chopped nettles around your house. If you are afraid that you or someone else is in danger, in this case a proven method will help - throw nettles into the fire. And if you are tormented by inexplicable fears, then carry nettle with you along with yarrow.

Especially useful is the mistletoe that grows on the Holy trees: oaks, birches, ash trees.

Ruta - very strong protective plant. It protects from poison and disease. Rue grows mainly in the Mediterranean countries. In Italy, special silver amulets in the form of a rue are made, which are worn to protect against the evil eye.

If you sew (necessarily with a red thread) a sprig of rue, along with slices of bread, a pinch of salt and a few aniseed seeds, into an amulet, you will get a classic protective amulet Italian Witch. At the same time, you can utter such a conspiracy: "Rue grass, let this amulet protect my family from harm."

For spiritual purposes energy protection it is usually harvested during the summer solstice. At this time, protective amulets are traditionally made from various herbs for the home and pets.

With the help of protective herbs, you can make various amulets to protect yourself and your home (making amulets is a topic for a separate article). To do this, you can use the burning of herbs, as well as prepare special herbal infusions. Read more about this in the article "Cleansing the aura of your home."

Ivan da Marya.

An important role in the Kupala rite is played by such a flower as Ivan da Marya. It is collected on the night before Kupala Day, laid out in the field at dawn, so that the morning magic dew sprinkles the flowers, giving them healing miraculous powers. If on this night you pick the flower of Ivan da Marya and put it in the corners of the hut, the thief will not come to the house: brother and sister (yellow and purple flowers plants) will talk to each other, and it will seem to the thief that the owner is talking to the hostess.

They guess at Kupala on herbs. The girls collect twelve herbs (thistles and ferns are a must) and put them under the pillow, saying: “Betrothed-mummers, come to my garden for a walk!”

Another version of fortune-telling: they tear the herbs at midnight without looking, put them under the pillow at night, and in the morning they check if there are twelve different ones. If yes, then it promises imminent marriage. A tripartite (plantain) is placed under the head, saying: “Triputnik-fellow, you live by the road, you see the young and the old, tell me my betrothed!”

Days of preparation of magic brooms.

June 21, the day before the Summer Solstice, is considered the most powerful and filled with Solar Power. Slavic girls and women go to the forest after dinner and prepare young birch brooms with songs. The broom collected on this day is magical. Not only does it give special strength when you soar in a bath, you can dress a calving cow with it - and both the calf and the owners will have enough milk.

Or you can try and make a very wonderful broom - a protective bouquet. Collect together a sprig from alder and bird cherry, from birch, willow, from linden and currant, mountain ash, oak. Such brooms will cleanse your subtle bodies of negativity, various bad entities, in particular, larvae, which are very easy to catch in the city just by driving public transport or eating in a public place, especially where people smoke.

If the day of the summer solstice is not possible to spend in Nature - visit the city park in the evening at sunset or in the morning at sunrise. Find a beautiful oak or birch. Talk to the tree, ask him to participate in your destiny as a talisman, pick a few leaves - this will be your talisman for a year. Dry leaves can be put in a bag (cloth) and put it in a pillow.

Now there are more and more Slavic communities in which there are Knowledgeable people who know what rituals must be performed in order to properly celebrate the holiday. If you know such people, it is better to join them. But if this is not possible, then you can arrange a holiday for yourself. And here's how to do it.

Celebration of God Kupala.

July 7 (according to the modern calendar, June 24 according to the old one) to leave or go out into Nature, preferably to a clean place, ideally, if there is a river nearby in this place. Water during this period is filled with miraculous power that can heal, protect, attract, endow with health, beauty and peace.

It is necessary to take with you gifts and requirements to the Gods and Ancestors (grain, pancakes, honey, nuts, seeds), as well as treats for friends during a joint festive meal, which you will share with them after all the rites have been performed.

Women need to wear a long skirt in order to be attuned to Mother Earth as much as possible and to be filled with female power. If you have ritual clothes, then you need to wear it. Next, do the following:

1. During the day, all the girls weave wreaths - amulets.

Girls let their hair down, put on long skirts or sundresses and go to collect herbs for a wreath. If you are going to pick this or that grass, twig or flower, you must mentally ask the plant for permission - is it possible to pick it - and then thank you.

When you have collected enough herbs, sit down and weave a wreath. Think positively at this time - dream, wish health and wellness to your family. The finished wreath is fastened with a red ribbon. In the evening, you can put it on your head when you dance around the fire. And then hang it on the wall above the matrimonial bed - the amulet will protect your family from adversity.

Wreaths banish sadness, anxiety, evil thoughts, unpleasant memories that poison the soul, i.e. enlighten the mind, thoughts and clear the memory.

2. In the evening, make a fire.

To do this, you need to make two fires. One will be sacrificial, the second - festive. At the beginning of the ceremony, it is necessary to light a sacrificial fire, stand around the fire for all the participants and say “Glorification of the Native Gods and Ancestors”.

Name to God Kupala:

On the holy Day of God Kupala
From big to small
Gather, clean up
In the holy river in the holy fire
Gather up, clean up
Hail to Bose our Perun,
Hail Bird Gamayun,
And all our ancestors,
Lada is our mother;
Glory to the Wise God-Svarog,
Yes, Asgard is the Holy Hall.
And Heavenly Vyry,
Holy is the current Iriy.

Father Fire, Mother Water,
Always cleanse us
From the impure - Pure Power.
In the holy river, in the holy fire,
From the impure - I clean with the Force.
Dawn Perunov Color,
And grant us many years.
Cleanse Kupala us
In holy water,
In the Holy Land
In Holy Fire.
Thank God Kupala! (3 times).

Then it is necessary to pronounce a doxology to offer gifts and requirements to the Gods and Ancestors so that the sacrificial food is accepted by Them.

Raise the Glory: “Oh, the Most High Ancestor, manifested in the images: Ancestor-Rod, Sventovita, Svarog, Perun and Dazhdbog, Lada, Mokosh, Jiva, Rozhana and Tsarasvati, glory to Thee! Be glorious and trislaven! Bless my (our) feelings, thoughts, words and deeds - yes to Your glory and to me (us) for Joy! Accept my gifts and requirements (ours) - yes to Your glory! Now and now! From circle to circle! Taco fast! Such thou art! Taco wake up! A-o-o-m Ra-Om-Ha Namaha! A-o-o-m Tat Sat!

Put the gifts in the fire. Stand by this fire and feel the blessing of your Gods and Ancestors. You may intuitively want to say some more praise or chant the mantra "Om", or other mantras.

Then a second fire is lit - a festive one. It is lit from a sacrificial fire. In order for the fire to become furious, it is necessary to spin a round dance, alternating the direction of movement of salting and kolovrat, calling on God Semargl, singing the Hymn to Fire, glorifying our Gods and Ancestors and the entire Slavic Family!

Hymn to Fire:

We shine with the Sword of Perun.
Purifies our souls
Tsar-Fire is our joy.
Flare up the King-Fire,
Kolovrat and Salting.

Burn, burn bright
To not go out.
Rise up to Heaven
Illuminate, You, everything around.
Burn, burn bright
To not go out.

Purify, You, Spirit and Soul,
Illuminate the seas and land
Warm our mansions,
Tsar-Fire is our joy.
Burn clearly the King-Fire,
Kolovrat and Salting.

Burn, burn bright
To not go out.
Rise up to Heaven
Illuminate, You, everything around.
Burn, burn bright
To not go out.

From the time of the Wise Ancestors
We feed you with a dry branch,
To shine - our glory,
Tsar-Fire is our joy.
Burn clearly the King-Fire,
Kolovrat and Salting.

Burn, burn bright
To not go out.
Rise up to Heaven
Illuminate everything around you.
Burn, burn bright
To not go out.

The blue of Heaven is so starry, lunar,
We shine with the Sword of Perun.

Tsar-Fire is our joy.
Burn clearly the King-Fire,
Kolovrat and Salting.

Burn, burn bright
To not go out.
Rise up to Heaven
Illuminate everything around you.
Burn, burn bright
To not go out.

Spinning a round dance, we spin the energies of Nature. Negative heavy energy moves to the center of the circle, where the fire is located. All troubles, hardships, illnesses and failures are burned in the fire, thereby people receive purification.

After the fire becomes lower, you can start jumping over the Festive Fire (make sure that no one has taken it into his head to jump over the Sacrificial Fire - this would be a desecration of the Deity).

Before jumping, you must say: “Glory to the Gods and our Ancestors, Glory to God Kupala”!

Fire has the ability to purify the human aura. Therefore, those who jump over the fire burn out all the accumulated negativity in themselves. Young couples jump over the fire, holding hands. If they open their hands, they will not be able to be together and part, if they hold their hands, they will live together happily ever after.

After all the rituals of games and fun, arrange a joint festive meal. Be sure to say the doxology to illuminate the food:

“Oh, the Supreme Ancestor, manifested in the images: Ancestor-Rod, Sventovita, Svarog, Perun and Dazhdbog, Lada, Mokosh, Jiva, Rozhana and Tsarasvati, glory to You! Be glorious and trislaven! Bless our meal and illuminate our food - yes to Your glory and to us for joy and health! Now and ever, from circle to circle! Taco fast! Such thou art! Taco wake up! A-o-o-m Ra-Om-Ha Namaha! A-o-o-m Tat Sat!

3. Early in the morning - at 4-5 am - they wash themselves with dew.

In order to preserve youth and beauty for a long time, it is useful to wash yourself with dew before sunrise and even swim in it, rolling over the grass. You can collect dew and sprinkle your house - this will protect its residents from trouble, and the house from fires.

Try to celebrate this day according to all the rules, believe in yourself and tune in with the Forces of Nature. Feel the natural forces flowing through you, bathing you in spiritual energy.

Remember that holding holidays in accordance with the tradition of our Ancestors is one of the ways to gain protection and support from the Progenitor Clan and your family family. A person who supports Tribal Traditions not only gains their protection and support, but is also endowed with a special Force of the Tribe, awakening his Tribal Memory.

I congratulate everyone on the holiday!
Glory to Kupala!
Aum Tat Sat.

Traditionally, the solstice days were considered holidays of family, relationship and love. In addition, on this day the Sun passes into the sign of Cancer, which is ruled by the Moon, which means that the connection with the astral world is strengthened. Everything that is connected with the world of the mysterious and magical acquires special power.

These days are favorable and effective:

Work with stones and crystals, as well as stone products

Gather herbs, cook herbal teas and drinks

Communicate with the subtle astral world - with mermaids, elves, gnomes, with the spirits of forests and fields

Work with honey and wax, as they carry solar energy

Guessing, developing intuitive abilities

Here are some simple rituals for the Solstice.

The ritual of charging the crystal in the Sun. This is a very powerful ritual that allows you to charge the crystal, thus creating an energy solar battery that will feed you and your intentions in winter months when we are so short of solar energy. Take, or hold it in your hands for a while, get to know him. Place the crystal on the Sun and ask the Sun to give its strength and its power to this crystal:

O great life-giving Yarilo!

O all-warming Sun!

Give me and this crystal your power, your strength, your life!

May the crystal retain your power and essence!

May it be so! Amen!

Leave the crystal for 1-1.15 hours in the Sun, then remove the crystal. Now it stores the energy of the Sun - you just have to hold it in your hands for 2-3 minutes and you will immediately feel a noticeable surge of energy. It can be used before important meetings or public speaking, during periods of particularly difficult situations, or for healing. It is worth attaching a crystal to a sore spot - the diseased organ will receive the necessary boost of energy and the disease will recede.

Ritual for wealth. For the ritual you need a small coin. Put a coin in a container of water, drop into the water essential oil, or and expose to the sun. Ask the Sun to sanctify the water and the coin, charge the coin with its strength and power. Leave the coin to charge in the sun for 1-1.5 hours. The combination of the Sun and water will give a huge power to the coin, while the Sun and water will give various qualities coin. After you have pulled the coin out of the water, again drop a drop of essential oil on it, which will fix the ritual, and put it in your wallet. The aroma of the essential oil will remind you of the ritual and create pleasant emotions, attracting energy to the wallet. A charged coin will fill the wallet with strength and power.

Ritual for relationships. This is a powerful ritual that strengthens and purifies relationships at the same time. For this ceremony you will need. Place a crystal in front of you, imagine vivid and emotional situations where you are together with your soulmate, where you hug and kiss each other. Place this image in a crystal and expose the crystal to the sun. Imagine how solar energy enters the crystal, strengthening the image, and the image already begins to glow from within with sunlight.

Ask the Sun for energy and strength, and ask the crystal for stamina and protection. If there was any negativity in the relationship, then rock crystal will easily dissolve it, and the stone will make the relationship stronger. Leave the crystal in the sun for a while, and then put it in a prominent place in your home, where it will radiate the energy of the sun and work to strengthen relationships.

Day of the summer solstice. Rites, rituals

Summer Solstice 21 Jun. The sun, moving along the ecliptic, will reach its greatest declination and astronomical summer will come.

Summer solstice, the middle of natural summer and the longest day of the year, when the sun reaches its highest position. For thousands of years this day (like winter solstice December 21) was of great importance for our ancient ancestors, who lived in harmony with Mother Earth and obeyed the cycles of nature.

At the moments of the solstices, the Sun in its apparent movement along the ecliptic moves farthest from the celestial equator, reaches its greatest declination, northern or southern.

During several neighboring days of the solstice, the Sun hardly changes its declination, its midday heights in the sky are almost unchanged; hence the very name of the solstice.

Charm on the day of the summer solstice (June 21)
On June 21, on the day of the summer solstice, you can turn an ordinary thing that you use every day into a charm that will serve you faithfully for a whole year. He will keep from failures, illnesses, dangerous situations, unkind people not only you, but also your family or those who are close to you and often come to visit.

The calendar known to us indicates that the year begins on January 1 and is divided into 12 months. However, nature has other laws, which, alas, are poorly coordinated with the modern calendar. However, our ancestors have always respected the laws of nature. A significant event in the annual cycle is the summer solstice - what date will it be in 2019 and what rituals should be performed? Read the details in this article.

First of all, let's figure out what the summer solstice is. On this day we can observe the most short night and the longest day of the year. Magic time, right? Our ancestors did not doubt it.

Holiday dates:

June 20 or 21 in the Northern Hemisphere (these are all countries above the equator);
December 21 or 22 - in the Southern Hemisphere (Australia, most countries Latin America and etc.).

The exact date depends on the year, it's all about the calendar shift due to leap years.

What date will it be in 2019?

In 2019, the summer solstice will occur on June 21 at 18:54 Moscow time. If you live in another region, you can calculate the time yourself, knowing Moscow.

On this day, the Sun reaches its highest position. Further, at the end of June and July, it will begin to descend lower above the horizon, making daylight hours shorter.

In astrology, on June 21, the Sun moves from the zodiac sign Gemini to the sign of Cancer, and the astrological summer begins (the period of Cancer, Leo and Virgo).

The Cancer zodiac sign is associated with gender and family. On this day, astrologers advise spending time with your family, going out into nature in order to receive new strength from Mother Earth.

On the first day of the astrological summer, you should think about your lifestyle, change it in better side. Go to use useful products and clean water. All this will help maintain internal energy for many years.

Our ancestors viewed the summer solstice as a time of mysticism and magic.

They wondered: for love, and for prosperity, and for the harvest. Certainly performed a variety of rituals, which will be discussed later.

Some call the holiday the summer equinox. However, this is not true. The equinox occurs in spring and autumn, in March and September, when day equals night. And in winter and summer - solstices. There is also a second name - the summer solstice.

When the disk of the Sun is completely above the horizon, you can begin. Stand on the ground with bare feet, facing the Sun.
Relax and close your eyes.
Feel a warm stream of energy rise from the ground along your feet, it completely fills you.
If you have not worked with energies before, then it is quite possible that you will not feel anything. In such a situation, just imagine how a wave of heat goes through you to the top of your head.

Ritual of rejuvenation with morning dew

It has extraordinary rejuvenating properties morning dew collected from 20 to 22 June. I'll tell you more about how to collect dew correctly.

Prepare gauze measuring one and a half meters.
Early in the morning at dawn, go to forest glade, to the park or to your summer cottage.
Gently lay the gauze on top of the grass and other plants.
After half an hour, you can remove the gauze, it is already saturated with dew.

To give youth, freshness and beauty to the face, make compresses from this gauze, folding it into 4-5 layers. Mentally imagine how all wrinkles are smoothed out, age spots disappear. After the procedure, do not wash your face and do not wipe your face with anything for 3 hours.

Rite of unity with nature

On the day of the summer solstice, an invisible door opens between the worlds: ours and the magical one. Trees, flowers, and other plants can talk to a person, answering questions and giving helpful hints.

On this day, during daylight hours, go to nature: to the park, to the forest, to the beach, to the river, and so on. It is important that you feel comfortable and at ease there.
Ask mentally those questions that you cannot find the answer to lately.
Listen for sounds, watch birds and animals if you meet them.
, stroke the grass or foliage with your hand. Feel their texture, what do they feel like? Breathe in the scent of flowers.
Just relax and listen to your inner voice. He will definitely give you clues from the wildlife world.
Thank nature for communicating with you.

Ritual for the fulfillment of a wish

The summer solstice is inextricably linked with the making and fulfillment of desires. Therefore, do not miss such a great opportunity, because a magical day happens only once a year.

Gather wild flowers.
Weave them into a wreath. While weaving, think about your desire. Imagine that the wish has already come true. What are your feelings? Feel this joy and satisfaction.
When the wreath is ready, put it on your head, wear it for a while.
This item is optional, but it will enhance the effect of the ritual. Make a fire and throw in any item of little value (but not garbage) as a sacrifice. Then say out loud: "Paid." This means that you paid for the fulfillment of a wish.
