Evening will come only after nine o'clock in the evening

Today is the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere of our planet. This means that daylight hours will last longer today than on any other day. In Moscow, for example, the Sun began to rise above the horizon as early as 3:45, and sunset will come only at 21:18. In the Southern Hemisphere, today, on the contrary, should be the shortest and the night the longest

The summer solstice may fall on June 20th (usually leap years) or on June 22, but it is on June 21 that it occurs most often. The height to which the Sun will rise above the horizon today will be the maximum in the Northern Hemisphere, and the minimum in the Southern Hemisphere for the entire year. At the same time, for several days before and after June 21, the luminary at noon is practically at the same altitude, although in other periods of the year this indicator changes somewhat more rapidly. That is why to designate today The word "solstice" is used. In the northern and south poles Earth, today is the middle of the six-month long polar day And polar night respectively.

Scientists call today the beginning of astronomical summer in Eurasia, North America and much of Africa, as well as astronomical winter in Australia and South America.

In many countries, there are traditions that are in one way or another connected with the onset of the longest day of the year, although they rarely coincide with “astronomically” exact date. In particular, from the evening of June 23 (July 6 according to the new style) and until June 24 (July 7) it is celebrated folk holiday Eastern Slavs Ivan Kupala. In Sweden, Latvia and some other countries, the summer solstice is officially considered a day off.

Starting tomorrow, the day in the Northern Hemisphere will begin to gradually shorten, and in the Southern Hemisphere it will increase. September 22nd will be the day spring equinox, when day and night across the entire Earth will last almost equally (if you do not take into account the influence of atmospheric refraction, due to which the day will still be slightly longer), and on December 21 - the day of the winter solstice.

SOLSTICE

The equinoxes and solstices determine the change of seasons (not calendar, but astronomical). Equinox - from the Latin word "equinox", meaning "equal nights".
March 21 and September 23 are the days of the Equinox, because on these two dates day and night have equal length worldwide.
March 20/21 is the spring equinox,
September 22/23 is the autumn equinox.

Due to the leap shift, the equinox in different years may differ by 1-2 days.
Solstice - from the Latin word "solstitium", meaning "the sun has stood still."
On June 20 and December 21, the sun shines directly on the Northern and Southern Tropics, respectively, as if pausing for a moment before resuming its movement back towards the Equator.
June 20-22 - summer solstice ,
December 21/22 is the winter solstice.

Due to the leap shift, solstices in different years may differ by 1-2 days.
In the Northern Hemisphere, spring lasts from March 21 to June 21, summer from June 21 to September 23, autumn from September 23 to December 21, and winter from December 21 to March 21. Seasonality in the Southern Hemisphere is the complete opposite of the Northern Hemisphere.

Astronomical description of the phenomenon

There are summer and winter solstice. At the same time, the longest or shortest daylight hours are observed on the surface of the planet. In the northern hemisphere of the Earth, the winter solstice occurs on December 21 or 22, and then (south of the Arctic Circle) the shortest day (and the longest) is observed. long night), and summer - June 20, 21 or 22 UTC, and then (south of the Arctic Circle) the longest day (and shortest night) is observed. IN southern hemisphere on specified dates The summer and winter solstices occur, respectively.
In mid-latitudes, during astronomical winter and spring, the Sun rises higher and higher above the horizon every day at noon (more precisely, at true noon), and on the day of the summer solstice it “stops” and reverses its movement. Then every day at noon it drops lower and lower, and, finally, at the moment of the winter solstice, it “stops” again, reverses its movement and begins to rise.
Due to the leap shift, solstice dates in different years may differ by 1-2 days. Traditionally, the moment of the winter solstice is taken as the beginning of astronomical winter, and the moment of the summer solstice is taken as the beginning of astronomical summer, which is a consequence of the choice for the beginning astronomical spring- the day of the spring equinox. The astronomical longitude of the sun at these moments is, respectively, 90° and 270°.
For several days before and after the solstice, the Sun almost does not change its declination, its midday heights in the sky are almost unchanged (the height changes throughout the year according to a graph close to a sinusoid); This is where the name of the solstice comes from. From observations of the heights of the Sun during both solstices, the inclination of the ecliptic plane to the plane of the celestial equator can be determined.

Point designation

The points of the winter and summer solstices are designated by zodiac symbols corresponding to the constellations in which they were located at the time of Hipparchus (as a result of the anticipation of the equinoxes, these points have shifted and are now located, respectively, in the constellations Sagittarius and Taurus, and the point of the summer solstice has moved to the constellation Taurus from the constellation Gemini relatively recently - in the fall of 1988): the winter solstice - the sign of Capricorn (♑), the summer solstice - the sign of Cancer (♋).

Solstice

Solstice (solstice) - the Old Russian name for the solstice. Corresponded to the moment the Sun “turned” towards profit or decline of the day.
In Rus' and in many European countries The winter solstice was celebrated as a celebration of the birth of the sun.

Solstice
1. Sun (Rotator).
2. All that universe that lives according to the law of a given time (Solstice is turned to the east) and space (Solstice, that is, Nature).
3. Cult Sign of the Slovenian Family (song “Wolf Solstice”).

Solstice - that is, Nature,
He is the highest meaning of our life.
Solstice is the seed of the Family,
rotation creates Life in the world.
No one remembers where he came from,
he is also eternal, just as we are immortal.
The solstice not only rules the Sun,
he also rules the time of the moon...
He is the middle of the world and its knowledge,
he spread the bright rays of the stars.
When the Wolf people go out at night, they remember:
The Ancestor learned the truth in the night.
Solstice Yarg Trizna is controlled,
in everything great you will see a lever,
Otherwise, the world will melt like ice in the heat,
everything will melt, our hearth will go out...
All people have the meaning of the Solstice,
every stone bears his seal.
Nature is our Mother, but you yourself are Nature,
The Wolf is able to control the solstice.
You don't have to actually be a Wolf,
The wolf-man is first a man,
But watch the Wolf carefully,
This proud Beast honors Nature from century to century.
He firmly rules the wild forest,
A harsh winter breeds sick animals.
The wolf kills the seed of Chernobog,
The wolf is the healer of the Forest, and it’s the same with people.
It’s true, everything around is similar,
Being proud of our intelligence is too much for us.
There is only one way for us - to learn from Nature,
And the Wolf People will return the human race to the Gods.

Solstice amulet

The SOLISTIC amulet has always been the main symbol bringing goodness and light. This is the solar embodiment natural cycle. Let us, earthlings, be surrounded by hundreds of galaxies with their own laws, but it is in ours that we live thanks to the eternal movement from our star, stronger than the Slavic one, since it is based on common sense and facts, knowledge.
Among the ancient Slavs, the Solstice was everywhere - on clothes and utensils, on walls and weapons... The Sun is the most holy deity. All others pale before his greatness. There is no world religion or ideology that would be wiser than that given to the descendants of the great Slavs who honor the basis of their existence - the Sun. Without him, everything becomes empty and in vain. Vedic rituals help to improve a person’s health and return him to the natural rhythms of life. Everything important in our lives is connected with the natural course of events.
The universe is embedded in the great Slavic amulet Solstice. Buying a Solstice amulet and making it a constant companion in your life means connecting yourself with the energy of the Universe, receiving a constantly replenished source vitality and fertility.
If you are physically or intellectually barren, try to live productively... All your aspirations and undertakings will die as soon as they are born. But you are human! And if you are given the opportunity to come to this earth illuminated by the Colo-Sun, then you are given the opportunity to find the source of life, good luck, and happiness. How to find, how to connect to it? There is no need to invent Kolo, it was invented and given to us by the higher mind that oversees everything that happens. Ancient rituals and ancient symbols have a direct connection with the Cosmos. All lines are graphically verified and constant throughout the entire reasonable history of mankind. Solstice or Kolovrat is the first of these signs. Our ancestors embroidered it on banners and, under its protection, went into mortal combat with foreigners for their Family and their Land! In light of the latest ideological and military attacks on the lands of the Slavic foreigners, this has become especially relevant! We all need the strength of our Family in order to look at the root and not make a mistake in assessing life. Slavic amulets there are antennas connecting those living today with the experience of departed ancestors. You can see better from there. And advice, manifested in the form of intuition, episodic clairvoyance, can become our great helpers. The Kolovrat amulet united in his heart everything that a person needs for happiness. He is great and wise. Equally useful for both men and women. Objectivity, completeness, healthy pride and joy of life are stored in his essence. A righteous person lives in harmony with the world around him. Harmony, but not confrontation, is the basis of the Universe. Confrontation brings destruction. Harmony gives Peace.

Solstice amulet - your path will be happy!

KOLOVRAT

KOLO - wheel, gate - gate, turn, turn.
The Kolovrat talisman reflects a symbol revered not only by the ancient Slavs, but also by other peoples. He is a symbol of Eternity, a symbol of Eternal Life. Indian cosmology attributes several development cycles to Kolovrat:
Emptiness
Emergence
Development
Destruction
And then everything repeats again. Living beings are reborn and move to the Upper or Lower World. Who goes where depends on the karmic experience. Matter moves and reincarnates at all hierarchical levels - from the smallest neuron to human destiny. On Ancient Rus' they painted Kolovrat on the walls of the house so that prosperity and happiness would reign there. It was painted on the palms of the hands to attract goodness. The last Tsar of Russia even ordered to make banknotes, in which Kolovrat was depicted together with a double-headed Eagle.
Anyone who constantly wears a KOLOVRAT feels an increase in self-confidence. Under this sign it is good to bring any plans to life. This sign also attracts good luck and cash flows to its owner.
Unfortunately, Hitler’s like-minded people also knew this. They tried to force the sacred power ancient symbol to serve one's base purposes. The majestic meaning of the Swastika was discredited by criminals - the fascists. What came of it is reflected in history.
Now is the time to revive the true meaning of this sign and give it its due. Symbol Eternal Life a very powerful talisman. It should be worn constantly by soldiers and businessmen.
In addition, you should pay attention to the metal from which your personal sign will be made. As mentioned above, Kolovrat is a Swastika, i.e. solar (solar) sign. Gold is considered by many nations to be the metal of the chosen ones. Scientists have discovered special spectral lines on the Sun that indicate a high gold content. The solar symbol and gold are one and the same the best choice. There is no need to experiment with the material from which something that originally had a deep meaning will be made.

KOLOVRAT - we turn the wheel of fate for our own good.

Kolovrat Rusich

The Kolovrat Rusich amulet has always been recognized as a protector of a person from adversity and problems that arise along the path of life.

The power of solar fire, contained in the eight-rayed Kolovrat-Swastika, refers us to several deities of the pagan pantheon - Svarog himself, as well as Dazhdbog and Yaril.
Every Slav should have an ancient Russian symbol of the highest justice and wisdom. Those who renounce the religion of their own land and accept alien gods as the main stewards of their Fate risk being left with nothing. Everyone knows the expression “in the Motherland, the land helps.” And the Sun, generous and fair, has always been revered by the Slavs.
Kolo Vrat signifies the return of Kol to its place. The Russians were the smartest people, long before Christianity they had their own written language and Kolyady Dar - Calendar. They knew how to calculate the course of the heavenly bodies, and they knew that the day of the god Svarog consists of 180 circles of Life, where each circle is 144 years. Just think about these majestic numbers! Our ancestors understood what galactic day and evening were and were able to calculate the change of eras and grandiose events long before other peoples could comprehend this.
Rusich is not just a word. This is the greatest and proudest concept. Everyone can buy the Kolovrat Rusich Amulet, but not everyone can understand the essence of the pagan worldview.
We can say that the eight-rayed Kolovrat marks a slow, but sure and inevitable, like the movement of the Sun in the sky, the revival of the great Slavic culture. Millennia of trials and attempts to remove from the people's memory everything connected with the cult of the Sun and the worship of nature failed. All more people call themselves Rusichs and return to their roots.
The Kolovrat Rusich amulet will help you realize the greatness of the events taking place. The Vedas are returning to people, and ancient Slavic symbols are returning their power. It was Rusich’s Kolovrat, embroidered on clothes and banners, embossed on shields and worn as a body amulet, that terrified enemy regiments.
Anyone can wear the Kolovrat Rusich amulet, but preferably a man whose life is connected with conquests. This is business, career growth and military service. This person will soon feel the influx solar energy, necessary for the decisive breakthrough and victory.

Amulet Kolovrat Rusich - an eightfold increase in personal strength!

Summer solstice

Summer solstice - Midsummer Festival , the shortest night of the year, celebration of the Great Light .

On the night of June 20 to 21 (from 21 to 22) dreams and reality mix with each other. This is one of the most important and widespread solar holidays.
The night before the Summer Solstice - "there is a time for great Magic and great Power." On this day, medicinal herbs are collected. Plants - a combination of mistletoe with oak, St. John's wort, rose, fern. Celtic festival of Oak.

June 20-23 - the most short nights per year. These nights are full of energy and magic.
June 21 is considered an important turning point on the Wheel of the Year. Reality and dreams are mixed, the boundaries between worlds are thinning. This day symbolizes the most high point, maximum peak, rise, takeoff, ecstasy, both in nature and in human life.
The holiday embodies fertility, abundance, glory, triumph, generosity, fullness of life, happiness. Cheerfulness, love of life, and fun reign on this shortest of earthly nights. From a mystical point of view, this holiday combines all four elements at once - fire, water, earth, air. Therefore, the Spirits of these elements rejoice and have fun with people. In ancient times, people celebrated this night in order to gain their strength and energy through rituals and ceremonies of worship of the Elements. For example, it was believed that the earth gives solid foundation in life, self-confidence, fertility. However, the main essence of this holiday is that people learn to enjoy life, love it, and enjoy it. This helps your heart open up and feel happiness.
On this holiday it is customary to go outdoors, closer to the water. Until dawn, fires blaze, laughter is heard, and cheerful songs ring. Ritual bathing, flower wreaths, dancing around the fire - all these are elements without which we cannot imagine a holiday.

In addition, Midsummer is a good time for the initiation of youth, for the first stage of initiation - familiarization with magic circle. This night is good for love, but not for special fertility rituals, but simply for making love for your own pleasure. To run naked on the grass wet with dew at dawn and splash your sexual energy across the fields and forests - good remedy from infertility and the guarantee of strong, healthy offspring in the future.

On this holiday, a sacrificial effigy is created and burned. It could be Wicker Man, as the Celts make it, i.e. a wicker man in which sacrifices are placed. Such an effigy is burned with the first rays of the sun. This could be a straw (or last year's hay) scarecrow on a cross. This is placed in the center of the fire, which is lit at the beginning of the night. In any case, this is a sacrifice to the Gods of Fertility, so that the harvest is bountiful and neither prolonged rains nor hail spoil it.

With your mighty strength
Cleanse me!
Cleanse me!
Cleanse me!
