Tattoos, permanent or temporary, were popular with many peoples and in different eras. These were either security signs or symbols of belonging to a certain group or layer of society, clan or caste. Tattoos were applied for beauty, both male and female. Nowadays, tattoos (if this is not the case with prisons and the like) are done more often in order to stand out, to give something special to your image.
Slavic tattoos and their significance every year become more famous and popular. Of course, many people know the Scandinavian symbols, but Slavic culture is gaining more and more fans. Ancient and breathtaking, it is quite rich, original and interesting. And one of its most noticeable parts is the Slavic runes. Both their significance and their influence is a purely cultural issue, however, they all symbolize various aspects of the universe, require bright thoughts and purity of mind and soul.
Slavic tattoos and their meaning are associated with magic. Each sign, each image made it possible to deeper and better see and understand the world around us, to feel its very essence. These symbols - runes - seem to open certain invisible doors to certain knowledge and give them a person. Our ancestors believed in this and used charms not only from wood, metal and stone. Runes were used in embroidery, writing, drawings - this is a special system for preserving culture, traditions and knowledge.
Slavic tattoos are signs symbolizing mother earth (Bereginya), homeland (support), love, goodness and fertility, fire and truth, strength, roads and peace. All these images serve as a charm, a kind of information field, as well as a connection with their own history and people.
Slavic tattoos are gaining more and more popularity, and their importance is also becoming increasingly known. Perhaps most often for this, not just drawings are used, but namely amulets - runes.
The most basic of them, perhaps, is the rune "Mir", transmitting the image of the Tree of the Universe. This is a fairly common image in world cultures. Our Viking neighbors also have it. The rune "Mir" personifies the desire for order, the inner essence of man, and also gives the protection and protection of the gods.
Its opposite is the runner "Chernobog". These are the forces of Chaos, destructive, tearing shackles and bonds. Well, all the forces of both destruction and order revolve around the center of the world, the Alatyr runes. This is the center of everything, where everything comes and from where everything exists.
The rune "Rainbow" is a road, an endless path to the center of the world. This battle path is determined by the struggle of the forces of Chaos and Order - Flame and Water. This rune helps in traveling, in the favorable resolution of difficult situations and difficulties. The road in this sense is not just a path, but also a special state of mind, where there is no end, no beginning, but there is both a source and a finish.
Slavic tattoos - both their meaning and their properties - are studied by many venerable scholars and history buffs. Stand out among them is the rune of the Lower World “Viy” - a symbol of fate, inevitable and inevitable fate, death and darkness. Everyone is faced with them. This rune is a kind of prohibition, constraint of actions, coercion, bonds and fetters. Well, the hand of "Cradle", in contrast to it, symbolizes revelation, purification, liberation.
Slavic tattoos and their meaning are studied not only by culturologists. They are popular among modern people eager to find some roots, an intangible spiritual connection with their ancestors, with nature, the past and history. And of course, it's just beautiful.
