  Once upon a time, I asked the “all-knowing grannies” in the Church about everything that I didn’t understand. Once again I asked about reading the Psalms: how to read, what to pray for, etc. To which the granny answered me that the Psalter must be read only in Church Slavonic, otherwise “LOW”! I was very upset and began to study literacy church language. But I was tempted to ask the priest about this in confession. Father smiled into his beard and said that the Psalter can and should be read in the language you understand. The Lord understands all languages, you just need to sincerely ask Him, with all your heart! And he also advised me to ask all questions only to the priest and never listen to know-it-all grandmothers!

  Question to the priest

  Question to the priest- section of the site “Russian Faith”, which is especially popular. We're getting new ones questions to the Orthodox priest almost every day, and especially many of them come from beginning Christians who have only heard about the Old Believers, but have not had the opportunity to get to know them better.

  We know how difficult it can be - cross the threshold of the temple and ask your question to the priest live. And of course, personal conversation and a living word of consolation will never replace electronic correspondence. However, we need spiritual counsel.

  We believe that all the efforts of our shepherds will not be in vain, even if at least one of those who asked receives some spiritual benefit!

  Ask a question to the priest

  Is it possible to read prayers in Russian?

  You pose a very serious question, the answer to which is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. For a person deeply rooted in Orthodox tradition, it seems unthinkable how one can address God in modern Russian. But for a person just coming to faith, the Church Slavonic language is unusual and difficult to understand. In church, the texts of Holy Scripture are read in Church Slavonic, and in literature, in sermons, in letters and responses to contemporaries, we most often use the text of the Synodal translation of the Bible into Russian. But we use it only to convey the idea more clearly to modern people, although this translation is quite archaic. In passing, I would like to note that work is currently underway to publish an Old Believer translation into Russian of the Holy Gospel.

  It must be said that the Church Slavonic translation of the Bible and liturgical texts is more accurate and closer to the original than the Synodal translation. Experts in the field of linguistics talk about the difficulty of interpreting prayer formulas and the impossibility of accurately conveying liturgical semantics using the tools of modern language.

  A wonderful article about our liturgical language was published in the preface to the “Prayer Book”, published by the Old Believer Metropolis of the Russian Orthodox Old Believer Church (M., 1988, etc. pp. 8-9). It briefly but essentially reveals the meaning of the Church Slavonic language and the reasons why the Church cannot switch to modern Russian. Here I will only quote one paragraph.

  The centuries-old prayer experience of the Russian Church shows that the Church Slavonic language is perfectly suited for prayerful communication with God. After all, a conversation with God is not a conversation with a person. Therefore, the language of prayer must be different from the language of ordinary speech. The Church Slavonic language gives prayers and praises a sublime style, distracting the soul from vain earthly worries and sorrows. In this regard, the language of our worship is an inexhaustible treasure.

  Start praying according to the prayer book, and you will see how organically the words of prayer flow from your heart.

  Liturgical and modern Russian languages ​​are closely related. Therefore, I would advise you to make an effort on yourself and try to master Church Slavonic. We can recommend the following tutorial: Pletneva A.A., Kravetsky A.G. Church Slavonic language: Textbook. ed. – 5th ed., stereotypical. – M.: AST-PRESS KNIGA, 2013 – 272 p.. It is also necessary to use a dictionary, although not many church words require translation. Further, when reading Holy Scripture, be sure to refer to the patristic interpretations. Compare Church Slavonic and Synodal translations. This will allow you to understand that translation does not provide a complete understanding of the meaning. After all, the Lord also to the apostles opened the mind to understand the Scriptures"(Luke 24:45). Obviously, such work requires some effort and time, but it is generously rewarded. You will gain a deeper understanding of the Bible and worship. " For I want mercy, not sacrifice, and knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.“says the Lord (6:6).

  I can give you an example. On Holy Spirit Monday the following words of the Apostle Paul are read in church: “ ...redeeming time"(Eph. 5:16). And in the Synodal translation in the same place we read: “ ... valuing time" Do you agree that this instruction in Church Slavonic sounds much deeper and stronger? And here is his interpretation.

  “Amma Theodora asked Archbishop Theophilos: what is the meaning of the Apostle’s saying: “Time redeems”? He answered: “This means that our entire earthly life is similar to the production of trade. For example: when the time comes when reproaches will fall on you, you atone for this time with humility and gain benefit (profit) for yourself. Thus, everything that is contrary and hostile to us can, if we want, turn to our advantage” (Alphabetical Patericon).

  I also recommend that you familiarize yourself with the translations of the psalms made by the outstanding Russian philologist, academician Sergei Sergeevich Averintsev (1937-2004). See for example: Selected Psalms / Translation and commentary by S.S. Averintseva. – M.: St. Philaret Orthodox Christian Institute, 2005. – 176 p. These translations are remarkable in that they make it possible to convey to modern people the meaning of the psalms, firstly, in the Russian language (in which modern words, barbarisms and borrowings are excluded), and secondly, in a Russian language that also conveys the imagery of the original, allows feel the structure of psalmic speech.

  In conclusion, a few words must be said about the modern Russian language. This phrase is often used to denote common language, excluding anything that sounds “archaic.” " The use of such language" - writes S.S. Averintsev, - “creates the illusion that the environment in which the action takes place is modernity. ... God comes to the believer in reality today; but I'm afraid that He will not come to the isolationist ideological space that does not want to know anything but itself"(op. cit. pp. 148 and 150).

Psalm 50

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy, and according to the multitude of Your mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Above all, wash me from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and I will take away my sin before me. I have sinned against You alone and have done evil before You, so that You may be justified in Your words and triumph over the judgment of You. Behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and my mother gave birth to me in sins. Behold, you have loved the truth; You have revealed to me the unknown and secret wisdom of Yours. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. My hearing brings joy and joy; humble bones will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit away from me. Reward me with the joy of Your salvation and strengthen me with the Lord’s Spirit. I will teach the wicked Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation; My tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. As if you had desired sacrifices, you would have given them: you do not favor burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God will not despise a broken and humble heart. Bless Zion, O Lord, with Your favor, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then favor the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and the burnt offering; Then they will place the bullock on Your altar.

Symbol of faith

For our sake, man and our salvation came down from heaven and became incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became human. She was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried. And he rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father. And again the coming one will be judged with glory by the living and the dead, His Kingdom will have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Life-Giving One, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who spoke the prophets.

Prayer six, of the same saint

We bless you, O highest God and Lord of mercy, who always does great and unexplored, glorious and terrible things to us, countless in number, giving us sleep for the repose of our weakness, and the weakening of the labors of the arduous flesh. We thank Thee, for Thou didst not destroy us with our iniquities, but Thou didst usually love mankind, and in desperation, Thou didst raise us up to glorify Thy power. In the same way, we pray for Your immeasurable goodness, enlighten our thoughts, our eyes, and raise our minds from the heavy sleep of laziness: open our lips, and fulfill Your praise, so that we can unwaveringly sing and confess to You, in all, and from all, to the glorified God, To the Beginningless Father, with Your Only Begotten Son, and Your All-Holy and Good and Life-Giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Seventh prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos

I sing Thy grace, O Lady, I pray to Thee, my mind is filled with grace. Go right and teach me the path of Christ’s commandments. Strengthen your children to songs, driving away despondency and sleep. Bound by the captivity of the Falls, allow me through Your prayers, Bride of God. Preserve me in the night and in the day, delivering me to those who fight against the enemy. She who gave birth to God, the life-giver, was killed by my passions and revived. Who gave birth to the non-evening Light, enlighten my blind soul. O wondrous Lady of the Palace, create for me the house of the Divine Spirit. You who gave birth to a doctor, heal my soul of many years of passion. Worried by the storm of life, guide me towards the path of repentance. Deliver me from eternal fire, and from evil worms, and from tartar. Do not show me joy as a demon, who is guilty of many sins. Create me again, having promised to be insensible, Immaculate, without sin. Show me the strangeness of all kinds of torment, and implore the Lord to all. Heavenly grant me joy with all the saints. Most Holy Virgin, hear the voice of Your indecent servant. Give me a stream of tears, Most Pure One, cleansing the filth of my soul. I bring lamentations from my heart to You continually, be zealous, Lady. Accept my prayer service and bring it to the blessed God. Transcending Angel, create me above the fusion of the world. Light-bearing heavenly Seine, direct spiritual grace in me. I lift up my hand and my lips to praise, defiled by filth, O All-Immaculate One. Deliver me from the dirty tricks that are strangling me, diligently begging Christ; To Him is due honor and worship, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

(1) Rising from sleep, before any other work, become reverent, presenting yourself before the All-Seeing God, and, making the sign of the cross, say:

Prayer eight, to our Lord Jesus Christ

My most merciful and all-merciful God, Lord Jesus Christ, for the sake of love you came down and became incarnate for many reasons, so that you would save everyone. And again, Savior, save me by grace, I pray to You; Even if you save me from works, there is no grace and no gift, but more than debt. Hey, abundant in generosity and ineffable in mercy! Believe in Me, you say, O my Christ, you will live and will not see death forever. Even if faith in You saves the desperate, behold, I believe, save me, for You are my God and Creator. Let faith instead of works be imputed to me, O my God, for you will not find works to justify me. But may my faith prevail instead of all, may it answer, may it justify me, may it show me to be a partaker of Your eternal glory. Let Satan not kidnap me, and boast to the Word that he has torn me from Your hand and fence; but either I want, save me, or I don’t want, O Christ my Savior, let me soon, I will soon perish: For you are my God from my mother’s womb. Grant me, O Lord, now to love Thee, as sometimes I have loved that same sin; and again work for You without laziness, just as you worked before the flattering Satan. Most of all, I will serve You, my Lord and God Jesus Christ, all the days of my life, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Ninth prayer to the Guardian Angel

Holy Angel, standing before my accursed soul and my passionate life, do not leave me, a sinner, nor depart from me for my intemperance. Do not give room to the evil demon to possess me through the violence of this mortal body; strengthen my poor and thin hand and guide me on the path of salvation. To her, holy Angel of God, guardian and patron of my accursed soul and body, forgive me everything, I have offended you so greatly all the days of my life, and if I sinned this past night, cover me on this day, and save me from every opposite temptation May I not anger God in any sin, and pray for me to the Lord, that He may strengthen me in His passion, and show me worthy as a servant of His goodness. Amen.

Prayer tenth, to the Most Holy Theotokos

My Most Holy Lady Theotokos, with Your saints and all-powerful prayers, take away from me, Your humble and cursed servant, despondency, oblivion, unreason, negligence, and all the nasty, evil and blasphemous thoughts from my cursed heart and from my darkened mind; and extinguish the flame of my passions, for I am poor and damned. And deliver me from many and cruel memories and enterprises, and free me from all evil actions. For Thou art blessed from all generations, and glorified is Thy most honorable name forever and ever. Amen.

And in the first place, remember Your Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, which You have provided with Your venerable Blood, and establish, and strengthen, and expand, multiply, pacify, and preserve the insurmountable gates of hell forever; Calm the tearing of the Churches, quench the pagan vacillations, and quickly destroy and eradicate the heresies of rebellion, and convert them into nothingness by the power of Your Holy Spirit.

What is prayer? Prayer is a tool. Our Ancestors praised the Gods, but did not ask them for anything. Doxology is the creation of special vibrations, because language is given to us in order to glorify, that is, to catch the resonance of attunement with the Gods (certain energy) with the help of words. Prayer is a vibration series associated with a certain hypostasis: either we turn to a specific God who controls specific elements, or to one of his manifestations - protection, help, support. This is a technique of attunement with certain vibrations. When we are attuned to this vibration, we appropriate this Power for our evolution. When a person believes, when he has an inner conviction that the object to which he is turning will help him, help and support come. At the same time, it doesn’t even matter whether we speak in our own words or without words, just a mental message and a mental touch to God works miracles. It is important from the Soul, with understanding, to the point, then prayer works very powerfully. And here it is important to accept these vibrations. Often a person is not ready to accept high vibrations if he lives for a very long time in low ones: aggression, anger, irritation and internal negativity. When we pray, we tune in to the vibration of God and use His Power. Therefore, prayer must be glorified, said, and not spoken.

Dazhdbog (Dazhbog, Dazhbog) - “the giving god”, in the beliefs of the ancient Slavs, a positive solar deity who closes winter and opens spring, the keeper of the earth’s keys, the god of the harvest. It was also believed that it endowed a person with skill, wisdom and physical strength. Son of Svarog. Over time, the power of Dazhdbog became greater, and he began to be considered a deity who bestows all benefits, that is, a “giving god.” And the widely known expression “God willing” is a distortion of the ancient Slavic “Dazhdbog”. It was believed that Dazhdbog's dwelling was located in the east. There, in the land of eternal summer, his golden palace was located, from where Dazhdbog rode out every morning in a golden chariot. The chariot was harnessed to four white horses with golden manes. And every morning, Dazhdbog’s sister named Morning Dawn led them to heaven. And so Dazhdbog made a circular detour throughout the sky. When the detour was completed, in the evening Dazhdbog was met by his other sister, Vechernyaya Zarya. She unharnessed the horses and took them to the stable. And when Dazhdbog rode across the sky in his chariot, a bright light emanated from his fiery shield. But in the evening his shield became dull from the dust and turned red. It was also believed that in the fall Dazhdbog died, but after the winter solstice, when the day became longer again, a new, young Dazhdbog was born. It was also believed that Dazhdbog was a deity who closes winter and opens summer. At the same time, he closed the land for the winter and gave the keys to the birds. The birds took the keys and carried them to Iriy. With the arrival of spring, birds brought keys from Iriy to Dazhdbog, and with them he opened the earth. Also, Dazhdbog was considered the patron and ancestor of the Slavic tribes.

Prayers Alive

Alive (Zhivana, Siva) - in the beliefs of the ancient Slavs, the goddess who “gives life”, as well as the embodiment of vitality and the opposition to death. The Goddess Alive is the personification of fruitful power. Goddess of birth, life, beauty of all earthly things, springtime. The Goddess Zhiva is the daughter of the Goddess Lada and the God Svarog. According to ancient beliefs, the cuckoo was often perceived as the embodiment of the Goddess Alive. Our ancestors believed that the goddess of Life turned into a bird and foreshadowed the continuation of all living things. The cuckoo flies from distant Iria, the heavenly paradise, where the souls of the dead are carried away, where the maidens of fate reside, and shows us the magic clock. From childhood, we all remember stories about how the cuckoo counts down the hours of our birth, life and death. Having heard the sounds she makes, we listen to them and ask her a question: “Cuckoo-cuckoo, how many years do I have left to live?” The bird probably doesn’t hear our conversation with it, but we just want it to respond with its endless “cuckoo”, this makes it somehow calmer. The cuckoo also foreshadowed the beginning of summer and the accompanying thunderstorms. From her voice they guessed how successful the marriage would be, whether they would be able to collect good harvest. There is also an ancient folk ritual of honoring the cuckoo. The girls overshadowed her, worshiped each other and curled wreaths on the birch tree. Such actions were associated with the awakening of the forces of nature, with the blossoming of spring. Thus, while honoring the cuckoo, the Slavs also idolized the glorious Goddess Zhiva, who took her form. They addressed her in messages about longevity, prosperity, good health. People believed that if the Goddess had mercy, she could change a person’s fate and give him a longer life. In an effort to show respect to the Goddess Zhiva, the Slavs organized special holidays in her honor. Wide celebrations were organized in forests, meadows and fields to thank the beautiful Goddess Alive, the creator of everything young and living. Women armed themselves with brooms and performed a ritual dance around the fire, danced in circles and sang songs, thereby clearing the place of evil spirits. Rejoicing at the arrival of spring, according to custom, everyone jumped over the fire, believing that with the help of fire one can be cleansed of obsessions after a tiring winter. People said about this: “whoever jumps high, death is far away.”

Glorious and Triglorious be Zhiva-Zhivitsa, Goddess of life and bearer of the Ancestral Light! We see how you descend into the rays of Grandfather Dazhdbog, enter the sources of our bodies and fill us with health, strength and goodness. Without you there is no life in a person, but there is only Mother Mara, who announces the end of the life of Man. Now we pray and glorify the Light of the Most High Family, which comes with You and radiates through our palms. In that Light all life exists and outside of it there is nothing, then the Generator Rod itself descends in Your face. Glory flows to You, hundred-voiced, Originator of life, Mother Alive! Glory to Zhiva-Zhivitsa!

Zhiva's prayer for healing

Merciful Mother Alive, you are the very Light of the Most High Family, which heals all kinds of diseases. Look at the Grandson of Dazhdbozhy, who is getting sick. Let me know the cause of my illness, let me hear the voice of the Gods, who speak through illness and direct me to the path of Rule. See, Goddess, that I comprehend the truth, and from this health and vigor return to me, longevity in the body is established, and illnesses recede! So be it! Glory to the Alive!

Prayer Alive for conception

For a favorable conception at home, a woman performed the following ritual: she poured water into a clay bowl, stepped on the threshold with her right knee, which symbolized the border of the real and other worlds, then said: “Mother Goddess is Alive!

Prayer to Lada

Lada is a positive deity in Slavic beliefs, the goddess of love, marriage, hearth, fertility and beauty. Also, one of the Rozhanits. She was depicted as a feminine woman in white clothes. In ancient times, people asked Lada to participate in a marriage in order to receive her blessing, and the marriage was strong and happy for many years. Also, Lada was the personification of plant power. And there was a custom when, at the beginning of March, girls and children went out to call on spring and asked Lada for permission to do this ritual. There are several legends about Lada. One of them talks about how the whole cold winter The goddess Lada languished in captivity of thick clouds and snow. But every time, with the arrival of spring, the thunder god Perun took his lightning arrows and melted the snow. And when he did this, Lada appeared on earth again, along with warm weather and rains. And then Lada walked through the meadows and forests, and behind her young grass grew, and buds blossomed on the trees. And flowers covered the ground. And when it became very warm on the ground, then the boys and girls began to dance in circles. And then the goddess Lada noted who was destined to love whom, and who was destined to create a family. This is how Red Spring came to earth. There is also a story from other sources about how Lada and the god Svarog created people. This happened after the battle between the light gods and the dark forces ended. By this time, the world tree had already grown, connecting three kingdoms - Rule, Reality and Nav. And in reality, the darkness gradually dissipated, and Svarog and Lada populated it with various animals, fish and birds, raised different flowers and herbs. And then Svarog and Lada went out into the forest clearing and began to have fun. And they began to throw stones over their shoulders onto the ground. And so, Mother Earth washed these pebbles with dew, and they turned into people. From the pebbles that Lada threw, girls were born, and from the pebbles thrown by Svarog - well done. But the goddess Lada thought and decided that this would not be enough. She then took the sticks and began to rub them together. Divine sparks flared up, people were born from them - girls and boys. This is how people appeared in Yavi. And then the god Svarog and the goddess Lada bequeathed to people to live according to the laws that were carved on the Alatyr stone. And the goddess Mokosh spun the threads of life. And people were supposed to live in the kingdom of Reveal, but until the time of their death, the kingdoms of Prav and Navi were invisible to people.

Lele's Prayer

Lelya is the goddess of spring and youth in the beliefs of the ancient Slavs. Also, this goddess was considered the patroness of girls, the first spring shoots and the first sprouts. She is also the patroness of girlish love and one of the women in labor. Her name is often mentioned in love and wedding rituals. Even in ancient times, in the spring there was a holiday called Lelya, which was called Lyalnik. During this holiday, girls wove wreaths of spring flowers. She was the daughter of the goddess Lada and, according to some sources, the wife of the Fire Magus. There is a story telling about the Fiery Volkh and Lela. One day, the Fiery Magus Indrik, the king of all animals, defeated him and seized his kingdom for himself. And Volkh took the wife of Indrik, the snake Paraskea, as his wife. But Paraskeya, together with other snakes, began to persuade the Fiery Volkh to capture Iriy and become the ruler of the whole world. Volkh succumbed to persuasion, took the guise of Finist the Falcon, and Iriy flew. Arriving in Iriy, he sat down on a branch of an apple tree with golden apples. And these apples were not ordinary ones - if Volkh had pecked such an apple, he would have become the ruler of the Universe. But then the Fiery Volkh suddenly heard the song of the goddess Lelya. Yes, he fell in love with Lelya so much that he forgot about everything in the world. And after that he began to secretly court Lelya and visit her in the guise of a falcon. But the sisters Lelya, Zhiva and Morena found out about this. Yes, they told Svarog that someone was visiting Lelya at night. Svarog came to Lela, but did not see anyone, for the Fiery Volkh, so as not to be noticed, turned into a feather. And Lelya released this feather in the yard. But Lelya’s sisters then decided to stick needles on the window. They poked the needles, and the next time Volkh, in the form of a falcon, flew to Lela, he could not get through to her, but only injured all his wings. And then Volkh flew back to the Dark Kingdom, finally shouting to Lele that if she wanted to find him, then the path would look for him in the Dark Kingdom. And then Lelya went in search of him. She walked for a long time until, finally, the path led her to the Dark Kingdom. And there Lelya found Finist the Falcon, bewitched by the Snake Paraskea. And then the spell of Paraskei fell from Finist, and he and Lelya returned to Iriy, where they got married. But Veles did not release the snake Peraskei from the Dark Kingdom.

Let the glory be distributed to the Goddess Lele, for She is the great joy of our hearts! We see the face of the heavenly Virgin in Blue Svarga, Her love rushes to the Grandchildren of Dazhbozhih, Filling our souls with life! For we have known from time immemorial that there is no life without Love, that it is the source of eternal happiness and inspiration in our deeds.

Mokosh's prayer

Mokosh is a female deity, the patroness of weaving and spinning. Also, she was considered the goddess of agriculture, harvest and abundance, the mother of all living things. Mokosh is often mentioned in some sources along with women in labor. Mokosh is one of the most ancient deities, and according to some versions, she even personified the Cheese Mother Earth at first. But over time, the goddess gradually acquired new functions. In the North, Mokosh was depicted as a woman with a large head and long arms. Also, on embroideries, she was depicted either with a comb for carding flax in both hands, or with comb-like hands. Also, according to some versions, Mokosh was invisible, but if she suddenly appeared in the hut, it could be recognized by the buzzing of the spindle. Therefore, in ancient times it was believed that it was forbidden to leave an uncleaned tow overnight, and it was also forbidden to spin on holidays. At times, as it was believed, Mokosh could interfere in various household chores - for example, spinning yarn or putting things in order in the hut. Also, in ancient times, Mokosh was also considered the goddess of fate, spinning the thread of fate. She began to be considered the patroness of weaving and spinning only in a later period. And with the advent of Christianity, some of its functions were transferred to Paraskeva Friday. As for the origin of her name, according to some versions and sources it is believed that it came from the words “wet” and “get wet.” According to others, her name comes from the Indo-European words “ma” - “mother” and “kosh” - “lot”, that is, the goddess of fate. She was often depicted on embroidery. On towels for spring ceremonies she was depicted with her hands raised to the sky, as if she asked the heavenly gods to send down rain and irrigate the fields with it. And by the days of the summer solstice, when the ears of corn were already growing, Mokosh was depicted with her hands lowered to the ground and surrounded by solar circles.

Makosha, in Great Glory you come to us from Iria, creating prosperity for your children. Your hands bend towards us with fruitful branches, and we see Your smile in the warmth of autumn. You give us rich harvests and we honor and bow to the Holy Land - Makosha - our nurse. With love we glorify You as Your faithful children.

Prayer to Mokoshe for the conception and birth of a child

Prayer to Perun

Perun is one of the main deities in the beliefs of the ancient Slavs, the thunder god, the patron of the prince and his squad. A deity armed with a bow and arrows and a battle ax with a club. Son of the god Svarog. It was believed that Perun could throw lightning at trees and set them on fire. He could even hit his house with his lightning. To avoid this, in ancient times, to protect against lightning and the wrath of Perun, many people carved circles with six spokes, the so-called “thunder signs,” on their huts.

According to some sources, Perun was powerful in the summer, but in the winter his strength disappeared, and in the winter Perun died. However, with the arrival of spring, he came to life again, and his strength awakened. And with the arrival of the first birds in the spring, Perun smashed the cloud-dungeon with his club. Perun was a deity who sent rain to the earth, on which crops and life depended. As a rule, he was depicted as a tall and middle-aged man with a beard, riding a horse or riding in a fiery chariot. In his right hand he held a bow, and in his left a quiver of arrows. His idol was made of wood, with a silver head and a golden mustache. An idol of Perun was installed in oak groves. At the same time, the priest of Perun had to maintain an unquenchable fire in front of the idol of the deity, in which oak wood burned. Perun is often considered the supreme deity of the ancient Slavs, but according to some versions, he became one quite late. Whereas before him the supreme deities were Rod, Svarog and Dazhdbog. In an even later period, with the advent of Christianity, part of the image of the thunder deity, along with part of its functions, was transferred to Saint Elijah the Prophet. He, like Perun, rode across the sky in a fiery chariot and threw his fiery lightning arrows at the Devil and evil spirits.

Great Father Perun! I address you as Your son, Your manifestation on earth. I ask You, manifest yourself through me, O Great Perun, I devote myself completely to You. Let Your eyes become my eyes, Your body my body, Your Spirit my Spirit. Your hands, my hands, my goals - Your goals. Let all Your qualities become inherent in me.

Prayer to Rarog

Rarog is a fiery bird in the beliefs of the ancient Western Slavs, sometimes associated with the cult of the hearth. In the beliefs of the ancient southern Slavs, it was believed that Rarog was born from an egg that was hatched by a man on a stove for nine days and nine nights. As a rule, Rarog was depicted in the form bird of prey with sparkling and flaming feathers, from whose beak flames burst out.

Glory to Rarog, who kindles the fire of faith in souls! We call you the heavenly falcon, so that you may descend from the Blue Svarga and overshadow my relatives with your light.

And as I see, so it is, from now and forever, from century to century! Glory to Rarog!

Prayer to Rod

Rod - in ancient Slavic beliefs, this is a very ancient deity who once gave life to all living things in this world. At the same time, the genus is the personification of fate, destined, the Universe and the harvest. Rod was a deity who sent the souls of people from heaven to earth when a child was born. And Rod determined his future fate. Also, Rozhanitsy are associated with the Rod, who, according to some sources, also determined the fate of a newborn child. According to ancient Slavic myths, at the very beginning there was nothing but the world's golden egg in the void. And in this egg the god Rod slept. And in a dream he saw a wonderful world in which there were gods and people, light and darkness, life and death, truth and falsehood. And Rod continued to sleep in the egg. And the egg itself grew and gained strength. And then, one day, the god Rod decided that it was time to awaken. He decided so, and Love arose in his soul. And Rod fell in love with everything he invented. And then, he split the egg into pieces, and out of it came the heavenly and earthly firmament, the heavenly and earthly waters, light and darkness. And from the face of the god Rod emerged the sun in a golden boat and a month with stars in a silver boat. After this, Rod took the rainbow and cut its umbilical cord, thus separating the earthly waters from the heavenly waters with a rocky firmament. After the division of the waters, the Rod also divided light and darkness, truth and falsehood. And from Rod’s breath, Lada, the goddess of love, appeared. Lada turned into the bird Swa and flew over the ground. Then, the Rod gave birth to three kingdoms: the heavenly kingdom of Rule, the middle kingdom of Yav and the dark kingdom of Nav. And a seed fell from outer space. And from this seed grew the World Tree itself, a huge oak tree, whose roots went to Nav, and whose trunk went along Yavi, then its top, its crown, went to Prav. And everything would have been fine, but only everything in this world was mixed up, and there was no one to keep order. Therefore, the god Rod called the bird Sva to him, and created an assistant for himself, the god Svarog. And the god Svarog raised the sky above the sea. And then he went across the sky, which was named Svarga in his honor, in order to look around the world from there. And then Svarog paved a way in the sky for the sun, so that it could rise and set. And then Svarog saw that in Reality there was only one sea, and there was no Raw Land. And then Svarog went to look for land. He searched for land for a long time, until finally, on the seventh day of his search, he saw the high Riphean Mountains. And on the top of those Ripei mountains lay the white-flammable stone Alatyr. And the god Svarog took the Alatyr-stone and threw it into the sea. The sea began to foam, became agitated, and began to boil and thicken. And thus the earth appeared in Reveal. But this land was small, and therefore it immediately sank into the sea. Svarog saw such a thing, he was saddened, and then he turned to Rod so that he could help him get the Earth from the bottom. And two birds appeared at the behest of Rod, diving into the sea, right in the place where the earth sank. There were no birds for a long time. Now the day has passed, and they are still not there. The second day is over, and they are still not there. And only on the third day did they rise back to the surface, holding grains of earth in their bags. Svarog was happy about this, took the grains in his hands and began to crush them. And he asked Rod to help revive the Cheese Earth. And then the sun began to warm the earth and cool the month. And then the winds blew. They blew the earth out of Svarog's hands and scattered it in all directions. So the earth grew, and the World Tree then gained strength. After the earth grew, the god Rod decided to give birth to other gods and creatures. He created a mighty serpent so that he would hold the earth so that it would not go under water. And then Rod created the goddess Mokosh, who began to spin the threads of fate. And then he gave birth to the Rod of deities Rozhanits. And Svarog decided to create giants asilks, who were destined to take care of the structure of the world at the behest of Svarog. Asilki mountains were dragged, destroyed or new ones were built. And in the depths of the earth, Svarog created three stone vaults for underground inhabitants. And then many asp snakes were born in the depths of the underground. Then, Svarog found and raised him from sea ​​day the stone Alatyr once threw. And as soon as Svarog took out Alatyr, this stone began to grow, filling with silver and whiteness. Yes, he became like a stone to all stones. And then, at the behest of the god Rod himself and at the request of the god Svarog, laws were carved on the Alatyr stone by which one should live. And from under the stone flowed fertile rivers and springs with living and dead water. Then Svarog created sacred fire in the sky, and created a wonderful one for the blacksmith. And in this blacksmith, Svarog began to forge various things - a bowl, a plow, an ax. This is how the world was created.

Prayer to Svarog

Svarog is a deity, a blacksmith god and, accordingly, the patron saint of blacksmiths. He was one of the main deities, the god of heavenly fire, who brings the sun into the sky every morning. Svarog was usually depicted in the guise of a young blacksmith. Also, according to ancient legends, it was he who dropped blacksmith’s tongs from the sky and taught people how to forge iron. He gave people heavenly fire, without which it is impossible to make weapons and jewelry. And it was Svarog who forged the first plow and taught people to plow the land. Since Svarog taught people to forge iron, it began to be revered as a sacred metal, and it was believed to have magical properties. Therefore, iron objects, for example, an iron horse shoe, were often used as amulets against evil spirits. Also, Svarog was the deity who created the first laws by which people had to live. He was the father of Dazhbog and Svarozhich. As some legends say, after Svarog gave birth to Dazhbog and Svarozhich, and with them other bright gods, he retired, and his children began to rule the world in his place.

Prayer to Svarog before starting any business

Svarozhe, Dido of the Heavenly Family, You are the creator of the Explicit world - the sun, stars and Mother Earth. In You is the great power of creation, which manifests itself in the owners of our race. You are the beginning of all good deeds that are born in the hearts, ripen in the mind and bear fruit in reality. How can I begin without Your blessing? I pray to the Heavenly Father, may he bless my righteous cause, may he inspire me with his Light, so that I may do good and joy to the White Light, the Orthodox family, and my relatives. Glory to Svarog!

Svarozh, Our Father, with clear fire, cleanse the bodies and souls of Orthodox people who need it. Let all illnesses burn in the holy fire and merge into the earthly fire, and pure and righteous power come to us. We ask the Heavenly Father to fill the souls of the Orthodox Rodnovers with the healing Sun and the power of the Trisvelline. Let their minds be bright and pure, like Your rays of the sun. And the bodies are strong and healthy, like Mother Earth. Let children grow up to the joy of their parents, inheriting the exploits of the heroes of the Orthodox Family! Glory to the Native Gods!

MORNING PRAYERS		EVENING PRAYERS
READ	LISTEN	READ	LISTEN

The prayer rule is the daily morning and evening prayers that Christians perform.

The rule can be general - mandatory for everyone, or individual, selected for the believer by the confessor, taking into account his spiritual state, strength and employment.

The rule consists of morning and evening prayers, which are performed daily. This vital rhythm is necessary, because otherwise the soul easily falls out of the prayer life, as if waking up only from time to time. In prayer, as in any big and difficult matter, “inspiration”, “mood” and improvisation are not enough.

Reading prayers connects a person with their creators: the psalmists and ascetics. This helps to gain a spiritual mood akin to their heartfelt burning. Our example in praying in other people’s words is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. His prayerful exclamations during the suffering of the cross are lines from the psalms (Ps. 21:2; 30:6).

There are three basic prayer rules:

1) complete prayer rule, which is published in the “Orthodox Prayer Book”;

2) a short prayer rule; in the morning: “Heavenly King”, Trisagion, “Our Father”, “Virgin Mother of God”, “Rising from sleep”, “God have mercy on me”, “Creed”, “God, cleanse”, “To You, Master”, “ Holy Angel”, “Most Holy Lady”, invocation of saints, prayer for the living and the dead; in the evening: “Heavenly King”, Trisagion, “Our Father”, “Have mercy on us, Lord”, “Eternal God”, “Good King”, “Angel of Christ”, from “The Chosen Governor” to “It is worthy to eat”;

3) a short prayer rule of St. Seraphim of Sarov: three times “Our Father”, three times “Virgin Mother of God” and once “Creed” - for those exceptional days and circumstances when a person is extremely tired or very limited in time.

It is not advisable to completely omit the prayer rule. Even if the prayer rule is read without due attention, the words of the prayers, penetrating the soul, have a cleansing effect.

The main prayers should be known by heart (with regular reading, they are gradually memorized by a person even with a very poor memory), so that they penetrate deeper into the heart and so that they can be repeated in any circumstances. It is advisable to study the text of the translation of prayers from Church Slavonic into Russian in order to understand the meaning of each word and not pronounce a single word meaninglessly or without precise understanding. It is very important that those who begin to pray should expel resentment, irritation, and bitterness from their hearts. Without efforts aimed at serving people, fighting sin, and establishing control over the body and spiritual sphere, prayer cannot become the inner core of life.

In the conditions of modern life, given the workload and accelerated pace, it is not easy for the laity to set aside a certain time for prayer. The enemy of morning prayer is haste, and the enemy of evening prayer is fatigue.
Morning prayers are best read before starting anything (and before breakfast). As a last resort, they are pronounced on the way from home. Late in the evening it is often difficult to concentrate due to fatigue, so we can recommend reading the evening prayer rule in the free minutes before dinner or even earlier.

During prayer, it is recommended to retire, light a lamp or candle and stand in front of the icon. Depending on the nature of family relationships, we can recommend reading the prayer rule together, with the whole family, or with each family member separately. General prayer is recommended before eating food, on special days, before a holiday meal, and in other similar cases. Family prayer is a type of church, public prayer (the family is a kind of “home Church”) and therefore does not replace individual prayer, but only complements it.

Before starting prayer, you should sign yourself with the sign of the cross and make several bows, either from the waist or to the ground, and try to tune in to an internal conversation with God. The difficulty of prayer is often a sign of its true effectiveness.

Prayer for other people is an integral part of prayer. Standing before God does not alienate a person from his neighbors, but binds him to them with even closer ties. We should not limit ourselves to just praying for people close and dear to us. Praying for those who have caused us grief brings peace to the soul, has an impact on these people and makes our prayer sacrificial.

It is good to end the prayer with thanksgiving to God for the gift of communication and contrition for one’s inattention. When getting down to business, you must first think about what you have to say, do, see during the day and ask God for blessings and strength to follow His will. In the midst of a busy day, you need to create a short prayer(Jesus Prayer), which will help in everyday affairs find the Lord.

Slavic prayers are comparable to a strong amulet. They can help in a variety of endeavors and matters. It is noteworthy that in ancient times, people turned to their ancient deities in prayer requests. After the advent of Christianity, the meaning of the texts of Slavic prayers did not change, but in their prayer appeals, believing Slavs began to turn to God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Most Holy Theotokos and other Saints.

For Slavic prayers to be effective, they should be read in a positive mood, and there should be no evil present in the soul.

The main commandments of the ancient Slavs when reading prayers are as follows:

• To honor sacredly means to recognize the power of the bright sides of life.
• To honor - translated from the Old Slavonic “CHI” - is the energy of life, and the word “thief” means “to appropriate.” The general interpretation is to receive light power from the Gods and fill your own soul with it.
• Praise - in prayers the Gods are glorified, but their power is not used to solve their own problems.
• To live according to conscience - “SO” in the Old Slavonic language meant joint good news. This meant that you should not do to others what you do not wish for yourself.
• Living in harmony with the surrounding nature - this made it possible to find life harmony in accordance with natural vibrations.



In ancient times, the Slavs prayed at temples. This ancient pagan temple, which was always located behind an equipped altar, used to install various sacred objects. In these places, not only prayers were offered to the Gods, but also rituals were performed by priests.

Today, an improvised “temple” can be arranged in own apartment on a separate table. To do this, you need to choose a place for the altar and place images of the deity on it. It's best to carve it out of wood with my own hands. This will allow you to fill the idol with your energy.

When equipping a place for offering Slavic prayers, the following requirements must be met:

• The created deity should be placed on the rag new fabric, and place a small natural stone next to it.
• Provide a place to place candles and incense.
• Place the ritual dish and cup.

If you live in a private house, then it is recommended to offer Slavic prayers in nature. For example, to do this you can go to a tree. Also ancient for prayer Slavic gods It is recommended to go out of town. In this case best place considered a spring.

More important are the basic rules that must be followed when reading Slavic prayers:

• The texts of ancient appeals to the Slavic gods are pronounced in a whisper, but very clearly.
• You can only pray if you are healthy and in a good mood, otherwise your prayers will not be heard.
• There must be faith in the soul that Slavic prayers are effective and contribute to the harmonization of life.

Read morning prayers

The most famous morning prayer of the ancient Slavs is considered to be the appeal to Dazhdbog.

It sounds in modern Russian as follows:

“The Red sun is rising on the eastern side, I praise you, our Dazhdbozh, as the whole world is illuminated with a bright light and filled with joy. My soul wants grace, since I am the Grandson (Granddaughter) of your God. I look at the sky, which wakes up with the sun and fills my heart with joyful trembling. At this moment Dazhdbog enters my soul. Accept my greetings, Clear Morning Sun! My soul is open to you, bless it, fill my body with health, make me strong and strong, so that my life becomes blessed. Without You, Clear Sun, no one will be able to breathe or move. I am waiting for your blessing, Dazhdbog, for lightness and clarity, so that all my good undertakings will be successful on this day, and Falsehood and Untruth may sink into a deep Pit! Glory to Dazhdbog!”

The Slavs also often read morning praise.

Its text goes like this:

“Kin of the Most High! You are one for us, but in many manifestations. You are the true Light for us and the only Justice. You exude Eternal Life, you are a spring of boundless Love. You heal our souls and hearts. We praise you, come to us and rule us. We bring glory to you through our work, becoming wiser and stronger every day of our lives.

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.
