Where is the island of Buyan?

This is an amazing island - Buyan: familiar to everyone since childhood and uncharted throughout life, accessible and understandable as a place of action in a variety of literary and folklore works, and mysterious as a real geographic point.

Sometimes it can be found almost at every step: when reading a child Pushkin's fairy tales, with a mystical and esoteric solution to problems with unhappy love, lack of money, an evil boss ("Buian" conspiracies are harmless enough and are intended for an amateur rather than for a professional), and Sometimes you can lose your Buyan in everyday life and hectic, although his eternal propiska remains unchanged - the most hidden and waiting for a miracle corner of the human soul.

Versions. Versions. Versions

Of course, it can not exist if Alexander Sergeevich himself believed in this island and remembered it as a very real place. Only very unusual.

What was it like on the island of Buyan, since there was a sword-kladenets, and a needle with Kashcheev's death, and all the wishes of the heart could be executed quickly? Not without the help of the almighty Alatyr-stone, of course.

One version claims that Bujan is one of the sacral centers of the ancient civilization of Arata (Aryans), living on the territory of modern Ukraine, Belarus and southern Russia. At the same time, Buyan was considered the most important place of power and symbolized the light - Ra. Once upon a time on the island the god of the sun worshiped Svyatovid, according to the ancients, one of the most powerful and most responsive to prayers. On the shore, the place of the sanctuary and the stone "clone" of the amazing god are still preserved.

Versions of real existence of a fairy island in the modern world - a huge amount. And each of them has the right to life, although most simply amaze by the fantastic.

Where only did not seek the island of Buyan, he was covered with the darkness of secrecy, like the mythical Shambhala. And where only they did not find! Both on the Ob and on the Dnieper. How options were considered about. White, which is slightly west of the Ob Bay and just north of the Yamal Peninsula, and about. Khortitsa not far from Zaporozhye, by which it was necessary to swim, heading "into the realm of the glorious Saltan" - the Turkish sultan that is.

There is a version about the geographic involvement of the island to the northern country of Hyperborea, the contemporary of Atlantis, and many more interesting options.

Rügen. He is also Ruyan. It's the same - Buyan

It is almost impossible to believe in it! Our fairy island is a respectable German resort. The sunniest place in Germany, favored by conservative citizens of the country and its guests, with an infrastructure that is equipped according to all modern recreational and entertainment requirements.

One of the most important questions of the descendants of the ancient Slavs falling on Rügen is whether it is possible to recognize the true island of Buyan in all this resort splendor. Where is the famous Lukomorye? In theory, it should be nearby.

So, Rügen-Ruyan-Buyan is located in the Baltic Sea, between Denmark, Germany and Poland. It was inhabited as far back as the Stone Age by the tribe Rugier, who had gone to the mainland (to the territory of modern Germany). He was replaced in the VII century by the Baltic Slavs (ruyan) - people who were gradually engaged in agriculture and piracy, possessed a powerful flotilla and worshiped Svyatovid.

Remains of the ancient Slavic temple can still be seen today.

Why is the version about Rugen the most believable?

In a detailed analysis of this version, the first thing that comes to mind is all the familiar lines from childhood about an oak with a golden chain, about miracles that you will have to believe on a marvelous island, about unseen beasts. In a word, there is no scientific approach, fairytale literature is one.

But do not rush to reproach yourself, study the vegetation on the island of Buyan: Often, and oak and beech groves - all as the poet described. And he wrote not from the ceiling, but carefully modernizing folk tales, heard from the nurse. Folklorists, it is necessary to give them due, at all times adhered to reality and used in their creations the most accurate descriptions.

In addition, the German island, like the very Bujan, supports another legend - the famous Hyperborea. The northern country inhabited by people who owned the technique of levitation, was as close as possible to the modern Rügen. According to legend, a Hyperborean native was also Apollo the Sun. Note: the country is northern, and the solar gods are in abundance.

But this is not the point, but the fact that from Hyperborea we reached the word "buoy", "buoy", widespread in the northern Slavic latitudes, meaning elevation, terrain, an open place suitable for building the temple.

The island in the Baltic Sea-okyans, the country beyond Boreas (the north wind), the often-used word "ruffian" ... The coincidences are too obvious to be accidental.

Historical reference

The people, called ruyanami, belonged to the north-western Slavs and are nowhere mentioned as Hyperboreans, although the possibility of interconnection between these peoples is not excluded. Perhaps the ruins were from Hyperborea.

Having mastered the island of Buyan, they engaged in their usual affairs: farming, cattle breeding and repelling the attacks of enemies. Although many historians suggest that the Baltic Slavs (still refer to this people as such) did not shun piracy and kept the population of Denmark and Norway in fear at the time, charging taxes from them.

The island was prosperous, the population did not live in poverty. On the coast was built the capital and part-time fortress - Arkona. Somewhere in these places was stored the legendary Alatyr-stone, always white.

Alatyr in the modern interpretation increasingly makes sense of the altar. Not surprising and its color: the white chalky rocks of Rügen - the main building with the material that could be used in antiquity.

Bujan Island, where is located (Or was) not one useful artifact, - quite a real historical, eventful place.

Traditions brought from Buyan

And now in many Ukrainian and Belarusian villages guess at Christmas in Buoyan, in a pagan way that is: the owner "hides" for a bowl with pies or a loaf and asks: "Is it okay to see me?", While the whole family should be without a twinge Conscience to convince that it is completely invisible, thus calling for prosperity and well-being for the whole year.

This kind of guessing was known to the ancient ruyan. From the island, he actually spread through the Slavic lands: once a year, performing a ritual in honor of the god Svyatovid, the priest became a ritual honey pie, which was baked in a huge size, almost in human growth. If the priest was not visible behind the "bun," then the year was a success, if you can see, the priest ordered the next year to bake a bigger pie, thereby programming the people for prosperity and faith in a good harvest.

As you can see, it's impossible to "swim" and pass by the island of Buyan, even just having fun with Christmas fortune-telling.

For most of us, this island since childhood has become a symbol of tranquility, escape from everyday life, a point on the map of our souls, where it's nice, where it's warm, where it's cozy.

Remember the first acquaintance

Here - without options. Most of us first learned about the wonderful island thanks to AS Pushkin. Past the island of Buyan with its unique positive effect on the person the classic could not pass.

Such a place must without fail take its place of honor in literature. Approximately so the poet thought and glorified the island to the whole world.

True, describing the island of Buyan, Pushkin did not adhere to strict coordinates, so the only landmarks in his tales are the oaks, no less mysterious Lukomorye, sea-oksiyan and the bay, where from the sea foam come out no goddesses, but a platoon of armed fellows.

That's the essence of the tale: hint that there is a magic land, but do not specify the exact address. This advantage of the genre was enjoyed by the author. On the island of Buyan Pushkin, of course, did not come, but he still twisted the intrigue - he has not yet been unraveled.

What is the place of power?

Mystics and esotericists tirelessly insist that there are such points on our planet that stay in which makes a person stronger physically, opens the "third eye" (in other words, strengthens intuition), gives unprecedented abilities: to be young, levitate, move quickly in space.

According to the version of mystics, Rügen still remains such a point. Geographers, confirming the presence of ancient tectonic faults on the island, indirectly confirm the possibility of focusing here a very strong energy, which an ordinary person can feel both physically and emotionally.

The energy of the earth may have weakened somewhat, but it exists and it acts. They say that the action is felt even from a distance. Therefore, mages of different ranks and directions so actively turn to this particular place of power in their rituals.

Yes, and ordinary rural grandmothers respect him. When they begin to read "on the island of Buyan", the plot, in theory, should automatically normalize life and remove all obstacles on the way to happiness.

What could a new fairy tale be like?

We suggest a little fantasy and assume that it would be if the famous poet was on the modern island of Buyan. Pushkin would be surprised, happy or disappointed?
