Nowadays, many sacred knowledge have been lost, but Kolovrat has passed through the centuries!
Kolovrat was of great importance for our ancestors, since their life - work, holidays and important events, were timed to coincide with sunny dates, which has been preserved in our traditions to this day.
Kolovrat is a symbol of eternal rotation and renewal, a conductor of divine sunlight, a sign that reflects the structure of the world, a magical means of protection, and the Sun itself is a symbol of life, strength, energy and fertility.
The comprehensive symbol of Kolovrat displays the course of the Sun, the change of seasons, the rotation of planets and galaxies. If you draw an imaginary line from the constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor to the Polar Star during four points of the year - winter and summer solstices, spring and autumn equinox, you get a clear image of Kolovrat.
Cycle «We Are»
What were We? What will We be? What Are We?
This series is dedicated to defining the identification of the Ukrainian people, understanding what is inherent in us at the genetic level, what we use absolutely unconsciously to preserve our identity, which helps, protects and supports us, which makes us unique.
Once disappearing, our distant ancestors left us a powerful energy potential of knowledge, which is now stored in our genetic memory and, as a reminder, in artifacts in the form of sacred symbols.
This knowledge is important and relevant for each of us today, because it is based on the relationship between man and nature. They can be used as a tool for improvement, whereby everyone has the opportunity to experience the spiritual world, as well as to know the meaning of their arrival in this world. The personality of each person gets a chance to spiritually transform, which means that space and society will be transformed together with him. Sacred knowledge gives a person the strength to maintain a very fragile balance of good and evil in our modern complex world. They provide spiritual assistance and provide a chance to build a civilization in which spiritual values prevail.
