The Firebird is a character from the Slavic epic, an incarnation of the god of the sun and thunderstorm. Its radiance blinds the eyes like the sun or lightning. The Firebird is followed by fairy-tale good men, and to the one who masters at least one of its feathers comes great happiness. The bird lives in another world — the Thirtieth Kingdom, in the paradise garden of Iria, and is connected with the netherworld. The Firebird shines brightly, emitting red, orange and yellow light like a bonfire. She eats golden apples, which give eternal youth, beauty and immortality, and drinks water from living springs. And when she sings, she cures diseases and heals the blind. From its open beak the sounds of thunder roll out and brilliant sparks of lightning scatter. Sometimes you can find a feather that has fallen out of the Firebird’s tail. Taken into a dark room, it will replace the strongest lighting. It is impossible to catch the bird with bare hands — you can get burned or burnt. In Slavic folklore, it is both a blessing and a messenger of doom for its captor. The feather that has fallen out can retain the properties of the feather plumage of the Firebird for a long time. It glows and gives warmth. And when the feather is extinguished, it turns into gold. At night, the Firebird flies around the garden, burning like a flame; if she flies somewhere, everything around her lights up at once. One feather of hers is worth more than the whole kingdom, and the Firebird herself has no price at all. The Firebird dies every autumn and is reborn in spring.

From a physical point of view, an ornament is simply some kind of pattern that is aesthetically appealing. But this is only a superficial understanding. Such patterns are a more perfect language, in which you can talk not only with other people, but also with the Universe. Ornaments in the ancient Slavs were used as amulets: it is not just a tradition, it is something that really works. The ancient Slavs knew that with the help of ornaments you can express the very language of Nature, which has never been hostile to people. And by using ornaments, you can attract divine forces for your defence. It was also found out that images and patterns of our ancestors are not just drawings — they are able to deliver information to the oldest part of the brain — the medulla oblongata, where the deepest codes of our memory are stored. Thus, Slavic patterns are able to have a profound positive effect on both the body and consciousness of a person. Ornaments reflect the impact of sound, and therefore such patterns themselves are also capable of structuring water and, therefore, directly influence human health, harmonise all its internal systems with nature. Thus, the clothes of the ancient Slavs, embroidered with sacral ornaments, can not only correct DNA failures, improve health, harmonise consciousness, but also at a deep level to establish harmony between people and nature. Ancient Slavic ornaments are not just patterns, but sacral symbols, which are able to restore a person’s health, harmonise his consciousness, increase awareness and a sense of unity with the Universe.
