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 differently. Slavic watches are forgotten by us along with the ancient faith, but their special account makes us think about the modern way of life.
History
Slavic-Aryan watches came from the legendary times when the Aryans still lived on the mysterious mainland at the North Pole. The Flood and further cooling brought them to Eurasia. They named their new place of residence Rosseniya.
Aryans decided to start life anew and began a new reckoning. Already 111823 years have passed since the great migration. The old system of counting time remained for many centuries, until forced Christianization.
The system was partially preserved by the Old Believers, but after the decree of Peter I, only one calendar, the Gregorian, began to be considered correct. After that, all other number systems began to be eradicated and were no longer mentioned in the documentation.
Time
Slavic clock does not start at midnight, as is customarynow, and in the evening. When everything is done for today, a new day begins. In summer it is 19:00, and in winter it is one hour earlier.
Only in the Slavic group of languages there is such a concept - a day. It is as if day and night are woven or joined together. The countdown begins precisely in the evening, the legend says that it was at this time that a person appeared on earth, and this became the starting point.
We are accustomed to use 24 hours, a standard clock runs two laps a day. In the Slavic-Aryan measuring system, there are 16 hours in a day. This does not mean that the ancients had a shorter day, or a different biological rhythm, just that the Slavic hour includes 90, not 60 standard minutes.
Daily cycle
The daily circle is divided into 4 equal parts, for each time of day there are 4 hours: evening, night, morning and day. Each hour has its own special meaning and a name that reflects its essence:
- Dinner is the first hour of a new day.
- Vechir - star dew falls in the sky.
- Tie - Odd time of three moons.
- Polich - the time of the full passage of the lunar path.
- Tomorrow is the consolation of star dew.
- Zaura - shining stars.
- Zaurnice - the completion of the radiance of star dew.
- Nastya is the morning dawn.
- Svaor - the ascent of the solar circle.
- Utros - calm grew.
- Morning is the way of gathering calm dew.
- Obestin - time to get together.
- Lunch - mass, afternoon meal.
- Giving - a little rest from business.
- Utdayni –time to complete all the remaining tasks for today.
- Poudani - the end of the day.
Slavic clocks do not go clockwise, but in the direction of the sun, for the uninitiated it may seem that time is going in the wrong direction. The arrow in the peak position in the evening may also seem strange to those who are used to seeing such a picture at noon or midnight.
Additional features
Unlike modern ones, Slavic-Aryan clocks carry a lot of information besides a simple counting of time. In the second circle of Numberbog there are runes denoting heavenly halls. Each rune carries a deep sacred meaning. This has led to their widespread use. They decorated clothes, dishes, made amulets for children and at home.
The elements are deeper all around. Unlike classical teachings, there are not 4, 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 chamber. This helped to correctly identify the patron according to the date of birth.
The watch helped me choose the right activity for each day of the week and time period during the day. The patron gods helped to do 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 a normal year, even months had 40 days, and odd ones 41. Every sixteenth year was considered sacred, all its months had 41 days. Unlike modern leap years, the holy year was considered the most fortunate.
The life cycle of the Slavic calendar consists of 144 years, 16 years for each of the 9 elements. The patron of the autumn solstice was considered the patron of the whole year. Autumn is also not in vain considered the beginning of the year. At this time, all the main work ends, the harvest is harvested, stocks are prepared for the winter. After completing the work, you can safely begin a new circle of life.
At first glance, the system seems complex and confusing, but once you figure it out, a lot becomes clear. Today, people have completely different rhythms of life, but these watches are ideally combined with natural biorhythms. They helped to live measuredly, without haste and unnecessary stress.
In the modern world, everyone uses one account of time, but in ancient times, almost every nation had its own system. Slavic watches ideally fit the lifestyle of ancient ancestors. Moreover, not only time, but also religious culture and cosmogonic ideas about the world fit into them.
