*** Kolovrat is a powerful amulet used by the ancient Slavs to bring them a great strength. Kolovrat is a solar talisman, it represents the Slavic sun wheel. This symbol reveals to us the secret of the sun move across the sky, as well as talks about the interaction of Slavic gods Svarog , Dazhdbog and Perun.
Dazbog is the Slavic sun-deity, and like a good many of the other Slavic deities he has the ability to change his form. He usually changes into the form of a large white wolf. White is the colour most associated with the underworld in Slavic myth, which fits with several other aspects of Dazbog. He is considered to be a deity who protects miners and the dead, and so it is fitting that his alternative form takes the colours which are associated with the underworld.
Within the night sky as seen by the Slavic people, there is also a constellation which is known as the Wolf, and their astrology is strongly concerned with the movements of Dazbog – the sun – into and out of this constellation. This helps to explain the overriding power of wolf imagery within the Slavic tribes, in spite of the fact that most of the tribes of Russia identify far more closely with the bear. Having said that, both the wolf and the bear are top predators, and man – no matter where he happens to live – tends to identify with creatures which provide their communities with a threat and the promise of a difficult hunt.
Worn as an amulet, Kolovrat brings strength and power to the wearer.
