Tattoo talismans amulets protect their meaning. Charm tattoos: Slavic, Buddhist, Tibetan, Native American

Among the Slavs, tattoos were not just a decoration of the body, they played an important role in the fate of a person. With the help of various amulets, our ancestors protected themselves from the evil eye, improved their health, became stronger, more courageous. Now there are more and more people who want to get a tattoo in the form of Slavic symbols, but few people think about the meaning of this or that drawing. At the same time, secret symbols can help to cope with various problems.

The origin of Slavic tattoo amulets

The Slavs stuffed tattoos extremely rarely. It was possible to apply certain symbols only from reaching maturity - 33 years. It was believed that only by this age the formative, basic processes in the physical body are completed. "Immature tattoos" could have a negative effect on a person, giving the opposite effect.

Only the magi, who possessed secret esoteric knowledge and magical skills, had the right to fill a tattoo. They applied the pattern not only to the skin, but also to the human energy field (aura). Only in this way did the tattoo take effect and help its owner.

Reliably little is known about the tattoos of the Slavic people, scientists can only guess how it really was. But according to general stories from different sources, it can be said that various drawings, runes, patterns and painted signs were applied to the skin. This was facilitated by:

• belief in pagan gods, goblin, mermaids, sorcerers;
• occult knowledge;
• veneration of ancestors.

Thus, by inflicting several runes on the body, one could become much stronger and more resilient. To protect against evil spirits, various amulets were depicted on the skin in the form of patterns. Now people (more often men) get a tattoo in the form of this or that pagan god, animals and mythical creatures. The Chinese characters were replaced by Slavic themes, with all its symbols and culture.
