Slavonic watches - the account of the time of our ancestors

The life of our ancestors - the ancient Slavs - was significantly different from ours. They obeyed other laws, had a different meaning of life and even considered time in a different way. Slavic watches are forgotten by us together with the oldest faith, but their special account makes us think about the modern way of life.

History

Slavonic-Aryan watches came from the legendary times, when the Arians still lived on the mysterious continent at the north pole. The global deluge and further cooling brought them to Eurasia. They called their new place of residence Rossenia.

The Arians decided to start life anew and began a new chronology. Since the time of the great migration, already 111823 years have passed. The old system of account of time remained for long centuries, up to forced Christianization.

The system was partially preserved by the Old Believers, but after the decree of Peter I only one calendar, the Gregorian calendar, became correct. After that, all other systems of calculation began to be eradicated and were no longer mentioned in the documentation.

Time

Slavonic watches begin their countdown not at midnight, as it is now, but in the evening. When all affairs are over for today, a new day begins. In the summer it's 19:00, and in the winter time - an hour earlier.

Only in the Slavic group of languages there is such a concept - a day. It's like woven or docked together day and night. Countdown begins exactly in the evening, the legend says that it was at this time a person appeared on the ground, this was the starting point.

We are accustomed to use 24 hours, the standard walk passes two rounds a day. In the Slavic-Aryan measuring system in the day 16 hours. This does not mean that the ancients had a shorter day, or a different biological rhythm, just in the Slavonic hour comes 90, not 60 standard minutes.

The circadian circle

The daily cycle is divided into 4 equal parts, for each time of the day there are 4 hours: evening, night, morning and day. Every hour has its special meaning and name, reflecting its essence:

1. The lunch is the first hour of a new day.
2. Vecir - starry dew is scattered in the heavens.
3. A tie is an odd time of three moons.
4. Polich is the time of full passage of the lunar path.
5. Zautra is a consolation of stellar dew.
6. Zaur - the shining stars.
7. Zaurnice - the completion of the shining starry dew.
8. Nastia is the dawn dawn.
9. Svajor - the ascent of the solar circle.
10. Morning - calming grew.
11. Loss is the way of collecting soothing dew.
12. Dostine is time to get together.
13. Lunch - mass, day meal.
14. Podani - a small holiday from work.
15. Utdaini is the time to complete all the affairs that have remained for today.
16. Poudani - the end of the day.

Slavic watches do not go clockwise, but in the course of the sun, for the uninitiated, it may seem that the time goes in the wrong direction. The arrow in the peak position in the evening, too, may seem strange to those who are accustomed to seeing such a picture at noon or at midnight.

Additional functions

Unlike modern, Slavic-Aryan watches carry a lot of information in addition to simple time counting. In the second circle of the Numbers, runes are assigned, denoting the heavenly palaces. Each rune carries a deep sacral meaning. This was the reason for their widespread use. They decorated clothes, dishes, made amulets for children and at home.

The elements are located deeper. In contrast to the classical teachings, there are not 4 of them, but as many as 9: earth, star, fire, sun, tree, heaven, ocean, moon, god. Even closer to the center are the days of the week, there are also 9 of them. The location in the circle helps to determine not only the day, but also the patron god corresponding to the heavenly palace. This helped to correctly identify the patron in accordance with the date of birth.

The clock helped to choose the right occupation for each day of the week and the time period during the day. The gods-patrons helped to fulfill everything correctly and with the maximum result.

Long cycles

The Slavic year began in September, exactly on the day of the autumn solstice. There were only 3 seasons: winter, spring, autumn. In the usual year even months had 40 days, and odd 41. Each sixteenth year was considered sacred, all its months had 41 days. Unlike modern leap years, the holy year was considered the most successful.

The life cycle of the Slavic calendar consists of 144 years, 16 years for each of 9 elements. Patron of the day of the autumn solstice was considered the patron of the year. Autumn is also not in vain considered the beginning of the year. At this time all the main works are finished, harvest is harvested, stocks for winter are prepared. After the work is completed, you can safely start a new round of life.

At first glance, the system seems complicated and confusing, but if you understand it once, much becomes clear. Today people have completely different rhythms of life, but these watches are perfectly combined with natural biorhythms. They helped to live measuredly, without haste and unnecessary stress.

In the modern world, everyone uses one time account, but in ancient times almost every people had its own system. Slavic watches are ideally suited to the way of life of ancient ancestors. Moreover, they have not only written time, but also religious culture, and cosmogonic ideas about the world.
