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 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.
How to spend the Kupala holidays with the greatest benefit and in accordance with the Tradition of our Ancestors
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. Not maintaining the harmony of all vibrations Life Force in his body and mind, a person begins to get sick, suffer, feel sad, there is a discord in his affairs.
Kupala holidays, proper conduct, just allow you 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 Krugolet (Kologod) holidays 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" (Sanskrit - Surya maskar).
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 gratefully let go of (name the problem), I've learned my lesson and now I'm 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 these days that healers collect medicinal plants for their potions, because these days they are most charged with mighty solar energy.
Powerful healing power solar herbs and other plants collected at this time possess: wormwood, burdock, St. John's wort, mistletoe, dill, parsley, green onion, 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, the oldest way to win over the good spirits of your home is to 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 the evil forces and direct their malice towards 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.
Rue is a very strong defensive 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 red thread) a sprig of rue, along with slices of bread, a pinch of salt and a few anise seeds, into an amulet, you will have a classic protective amulet of the 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 of the plant) will talk to each other, and it will seem to the thief that the owner is talking to the mistress.
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 this promises an early 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. After dinner, Slavic girls and women go to the forest 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 from negativity, various bad entities, in particular from larvae, which are very easy to catch in the city, just by driving to public transport or eat at 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 (by modern calendar, June 24, old) 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 feminine 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”.

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 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 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-u-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

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 Celebration 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.
Yaroslava is a comrade-in-arms of Rodobozhy.
Summer Solstice June 21st.
The sun, moving along the ecliptic, will reach its greatest declination and astronomical summer will come.
Summer Solstice Mid natural summer and the longest day of the year, when the sun reaches its highest position.

Usually the festivities continued until sunrise. During this time, various ceremonies and rituals were performed. It was believed that if there was a starry sky at night, then the harvest this season would be worthy. But if there is no dew on the grass in the morning, this means that there will be few mushrooms in the forest.
