Svarozhich(other Russian Svarozhich, Svarozhets; lat. Zuarasici) is a Slavic deity revered by the Baltic and Eastern Slavs.
Obviously, when determining the origin of the name Svarozhich, it is impossible to separate it from the name. At the same time, it is not entirely clear in what relationship these names and, accordingly, the characters are.
According to some researchers, Svarozhich is a patronymic, which means Svarozhich is the son of Svarog. This version is doubtful for two reasons. Firstly, not a single source says that Svarozhich is the son of Svarog (moreover, Svarog is generally mentioned in only one, and then a very late source). Secondly, the Slavic suffix -ich has not only patronymic (patronymic) semantics. In addition, it can denote a resident of a particular area (Dregovichi, Muscovites), or the owner of one or another quality (Lutichi "fierce", Vyatichi "big people")
The last meaning of the suffix -ich seems to be the most probable in the case of Svarozhich. Therefore, some researchers consider the name Svarozhich a diminutive, or simply a variant of the name Svarog. Some researchers question the former existence of the god Svarog among the Slavs and believe that his name was invented by the chronicler when translating a fragment from the "Chronicle" of John Malala - reconstructed as the name of Svarozhich's father. The chronicler, therefore, considered the name Svarozhich to be a patronymic, which, as shown above, is unlikely.
According to Titmar of Merseburg (German chronicler - years of life 975 - 1018), the idol of Svarozhich was installed in the land of rataries (the name of the West Slavic tribe that lived south of the Pena River, which flows into the Odra at its very mouth, between Dolensky Lake and the upper Havela and Dosha ), in the city of Ridigost, which later chroniclers, due to a mistake, began to call Retroa. Svarozhich was the most revered deity of the rataries. In his Chronicle, Titmar says:
In the city [Ridegost] there is nothing but a sanctuary skillfully built of wood, the basis of which are the horns of various animals. Outside, as can be seen, the walls are decorated with elaborately carved images of various gods and goddesses. Inside, there are hand-made idols, each with a carved name, dressed in helmets and armor, which gives them a terrible look. The main one is called Svarozhich; all pagans respect and honor him more than the rest. Their banners are also never taken out of there, except perhaps for military necessity; and only foot soldiers can carry them out.
In the paganism of the Eastern Slavs, Svarozhich is the ritual name for fire.
The main source that tells about Svarozhich of the Eastern Slavs is Christian teachings against paganism. From the "Word of a certain Christ-lover and zealot of the right faith" of the XIV-XV centuries, one can learn that the inhabitants of Ancient Rus' "... pray to fire, calling it Svarozhits."
The Eastern Slavs, before the adoption of Christianity and for some time after that, revered and deified fire. The deified fire was called Svarozhich or Svarozhits. The main place of veneration and worship of fire was the barn (an outbuilding in which sheaves were dried before threshing), as a place especially associated with this element.
Svarozhich - Symbol Heavenly Power God Svarog, preserving in its original form all the diversity of Life forms in the Universe. A symbol that protects various existing Intelligent life forms from Mental and Spiritual degradation, as well as from complete destruction as an Intelligent species.

Now it is already publicly known that the roots of Slavic culture go back very far into the depths of centuries. The Russian people were great long before the baptism of Rus': they had their own written language and very well-developed secret magical knowledge, including runes.
Very fragmentary and scattered documents have come down to us, from which we have drawn, unfortunately, very meager information about the life, way of life and religion of our ancestors. Some Slavic magical signs and some runes have also come down to us.
The magical abilities of the Slavs were passed down from generation to generation and only intensified over time.
not without reason Slavic men were recognized by everyone not only as strong in body, but also powerful in spirit, so it was almost impossible to defeat them. After all, wars in the ancient world were not so much a competition of physical bodies, but also of fortitude and magical wisdom.
To enhance their power, the ancient Slavic warriors used certain charms that were created specifically for this.
In any amulet, the Russians called on their kind to help themselves, which was encrypted in symbolic signs. The clan, as it were, multiplied the personal strength of a single person tenfold. It was believed that a person is nothing without the support of his kind.
Svarog - the main Slavic god
Amulet Svarozhich and Rodimich
Surprising in this sense is the Slavic amulet Svarozhich and Rodimich, composed of two ancient Slavic signs that mirror each other.
The symbol of Svarozhich (one of the Slavic gods, the son of the supreme god Rod, from whom everything started) is a sign of the god Svarog, who, according to legend, brought fire to the Slavs.
In ancient times, only the elders and spiritual leaders of the tribe had the right to wear this amulet (their intentions and thoughts had to be pure), since it was they who followed the unity of the ancient Rus. It allows the wearer to accumulate spiritual power. He saves from depression and weakness of character. It guides a person along the right and honest path, eliminating the tricks and intrigues of vile people.
And if an enemy accidentally took possession of the amulet, then he immediately lost his sight forever, and, accordingly, he was exposed.
At present, the Svarozhich amulet is also useful to its owner, since it relieves all misfortunes, such as: vampirism, induced witchcraft, any negativity, bad habits, accidents and disasters, sudden death, insanity. As you can see, the benefits are enormous. The talisman helps to overcome obstacles and quickly achieve their goals.

Rodimich, on the other hand, gives his owner the opportunity to receive the strength of his kind, which, with its energy power, will not allow a person to break down in difficult life situations and will become a strong wall behind him. This wonderful amulet characterizes its owner as a responsible person who passes on tenfold tribal power to future generations. Descendants are required to know their ancestors in order to be spiritually rich and strong. Only such a person is invincible. Otherwise, he is weak and poor, even if his financial condition is quite good.
If you wear this talisman, you must remember your responsibility to future generations and properly educate your children, otherwise the amulet will not help you.
If you have made or purchased the Svarozhich Rodimich amulet, charge it with positive thoughts so that it brings you the full benefit that is in it, and also clean it energetically by putting it in salt for several hours.
If you have lost your amulet or a crack has appeared on it, do not be sad, this means that the talisman simply absorbed too much energy dirt and could not stand it. In such a case, it is necessary to make or purchase a new talisman.
What to do with a damaged item? Never throw the amulet in the trash. First, just wash it with water, then wrap it in a clean linen and bury it in the ground where no one walks. Preferably under a dry tree.
Fire the new amulet if you bought it from your hands so as not to take away someone else's negative energy. Although such things are recommended to be made independently, in the family. Otherwise, you risk losing your luck, for example, or even getting sick.
In the old days, no outsider was allowed near the family talismans. They were made for each other by bloodlines and only with good intentions.
