The meaning of the letters of the Old Church Slavonic alphabet. Interesting about interesting: The secret of the Slavic alphabet

Somehow I thought about what was built into the ancient Slavic alphabet. I know that the first letters sound something like “Az, Buki, Vedi, Verb, Dobro.” What would translate into modern Russian “I Know the Book, I Speak Good...”. I decided to look on the internet and found quite a lot interesting message at http://forum.kpe.ru/
"...let's read the Message contained in the Proto-Slavic ABC.
Let's look at the first three letters of the alphabet - Az, Buki, Vedi.
Az – “I”.
Buki (beeches) – letters, writing.
Vedi (vede) - “knew”, perfect past tense from “vedi” - to know, to know.
Combining acrophonic names first three letters of the ABC, we get the following phrase:
Az, Buki, Vedi - I know the letters.
All subsequent letters of the ABC are combined into phrases:
A verb is a “word”, and not only spoken, but also written.
Good is “property, acquired wealth.”
Yes (naturally) – 3rd l. units h. from the verb “to be”.
The verb is good: the word is an asset.
Live (instead of the second “and” the letter “yat” was previously written, pronounced live) – imperative mood, plural of “to live” - “to live in work, and not vegetate.”
Zelo (transmitted the combination dz = voiced ts) - “zealously, with zeal.”
Earth – “planet Earth and its inhabitants, earthlings.”
And is the conjunction “and”.
Izhe – “those who, they are the same.”
Kako – “like”, “like”. People are “reasonable beings.”
Live well, earth, and like people: live working hard, earthlings, and as befits people.
Think (written with the letter “yat”, pronounced “think”, just like “live”) - imperative mood, plural. h. from “to think, to comprehend with the mind.”
Nash – “ours” in the usual meaning.
He is “that one” in the meaning of “sole, united.”
The chambers (peace) are “the basis (of the universe).” Wed. “to rest” – “to be based on...”.
Think about our peace: comprehend our universe. Rtsy (rtsi) – imperative mood: “speak, utter, read aloud.” Wed. "speech". The word is “transmitting knowledge.” Firmly – “confidently, confidently.”
Rtsy word is firm - bring knowledge with conviction.
Uk is the basis of knowledge, doctrine. Wed. science, teach, skill, custom.
Fert, f(b)rt – “fertilizes”. The alphabet recorded the difference between the sounds “p” and “f”, as well as their voiced counterparts “b” and “v”. In the Middle Ages, southern Europeans who pronounced “f” instead of “p” were called fryags in Rus' precisely because of the peculiarities of their speech: this, for example, distinguished the southern Franks from the northern Prussians, the Thracians from the Persians, etc.
Kher – “divine, given from above.” Wed. German Negg (lord, God), Greek. “hiero-” (divine), English, hero (hero), and also Russian name God - Horse.
Uk fart Her: knowledge is fertilized by the Almighty, knowledge is the gift of God.
Tsy (qi, tsti) – “sharpen, penetrate, delve, dare.”
Worm (worm) – “he who sharpens, penetrates.”
Ш(т)а (Ш, Ш) – “what” in the meaning “to”.
Ъ, ь (еръ/ерь, ъръ) – are variants of one letter, meaning an indefinite short vowel close to e.
The rolling sound “r” is pronounced with the obligatory initial aspiration (initial “ъ”) and echo (final “ъ”). The word “ar”, apparently, meant the existing, eternal, hidden, space-time, inaccessible to the human mind, a light, the Sun. In all likelihood, “Ъръ” is one of the most ancient words of modern civilization, cf. Egyptian Ra - Sun, God.
The word “time” itself contains the same root, since the initial “v” developed precisely from “ъ”. Many native Russian words contain this root, for example: morning - “from the Sun” (root ut-from there, there); evening (century) - “the age of Ra, the expiring time of the Sun.” In the sense of “space, Universe,” the Russian “frame” comes from the same root. The word “paradise” means: “many Suns” = “the abode of the gods (God Ra).” The self-name of the gypsies “Roma, Roma” - “free”, “God in me”, “I am the Universe”, hence the Indian Rama. In the sense of “light, luminary, source of light”: the cry “hurray!” means “towards the Sun!”, bright means “like sunlight”, “rainbow”, etc. In the ABC, in all likelihood, the word “Ър(а)” is in genitive case with the meaning of “Existence”.
Yus (yus small) – “light, old Russian jar.” In modern Russian, the root “yas” is preserved, for example, in the word “clear”.
Yat (yati) – “to comprehend, to have.” Wed. withdraw, take, etc.
Tsy, cherve, shta ЪRA yus yati! It stands for: “Dare, sharpen, worm, in order to comprehend the light of existence!”
The combination of the above phrases constitutes the ABC Message:

Az beeches vede. The verb is good, live well, earth, and like people, think about our peace. Rtsy’s word is firm - uk f’at dick. Tsy, worm, shta ra yati.

In modern translation it sounds like this:
I know letters: writing is a property. Work hard
earthlings, as befits intelligent people - comprehend the universe!
Carry the word with conviction: knowledge is the gift of God!
Dare, delve deeply in order to comprehend the Light of Being!”

Russian ABC is a Message to the Slavs

Sergei Vladimirovich Filatov published his article again today.
I hasten to congratulate you, my friends, on the Russian Language Holiday
And offer to make a unique discovery...

“LOVE” means “People of God Know”!

Today is the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture.
The Day of Slavic Literature and Culture is celebrated annually on May 24 in all Slavic countries as a sign of gratitude and veneration of two brothers - Cyril and Methodius, the creators of Slavic writing.
Originally a holiday that existed in Bulgaria back in X-XI centuries, was celebrated only by the church. Later in Russia it became a church holiday. The Church canonized Cyril and Methodius as saints.
On May 18, 1863, the Holy Synod adopted a decree proclaiming May 24 (new style) Church holiday Saloon brothers.
At the state level, the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture was solemnly celebrated for the first time in Russian Empire in 1863, in honor of the 1000th anniversary of the creation of the Slavic alphabet by Saints Cyril and Methodius.
In the Soviet Union, the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture was celebrated for the first time in 1986 in Murmansk, and then in Vologda, Novgorod, Kyiv and Minsk.
Since 1987, the holiday has already received wide use in society.
January 30, 1991 by resolution of the Presidium Supreme Council The RSFSR day May 24 was declared the Holiday of Slavic Literature and Culture.
In 1992, a monument to Saints Cyril and Methodius was inaugurated on Slavyanskaya Square in Moscow. The creator of the monument is sculptor V.M. Klykov.
Every year on April 24, a traditional religious procession takes place in Moscow from the Assumption Cathedral of the Kremlin to Slavyanskaya Square to the monument to Saints Cyril and Methodius.

Here is what researchers of the issue write about the Salun brothers:
“It is known that the brothers Cyril and Methodius were Orthodox monks and created the Slavic alphabet in a Greek monastery.
From their biographies we know that Cyril and Methodius are Greeks, born into the family of a Byzantine military leader in the Macedonian city of Thessaloniki.
By assumption, the brothers' mother was Slavic, and it was for this reason that the brothers, from childhood, spoke the Slavic language as well as Greek.
From the Tale of Bygone Years we learn that the Slavic princes Rostislav, Svyatopolk and Kotsel sent ambassadors to the Byzantine Tsar Michael with a request to send a teacher “who would instruct and teach, and explain the holy books.” It is further reported: “...he sent them Constantine the Philosopher, named Cyril, a righteous and true man. And he created 38 letters for them - some according to the model of Greek letters, others according to Slavic speech. He started with the first one in Greek: they are from “alpha”, he is from “az”…”.
The brothers translated into the written language they created. Slavic language– Cyrillic – “Apostle”, “Gospel”, “Psalter”, “Octoechos” and other church books.
With the adoption of Christianity Ancient Rus' switched to the Slavic alphabet, inviting teachers from Bulgaria who continued the work of Cyril and Methodius.
Today there are approximately 60 peoples in the world whose writing was based on the Cyrillic alphabet. And many thanks to the two great brothers for leaving us a legacy that continues to unite the Slavic world!
On May 24, in all countries where the Slavs live, they celebrate the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture.”

The alphabet created by Cyril and Methodius was called “Cyrillic” in honor of Cyril.
Methodius and Cyril reworked the Greek alphabet and significantly modified it in order to perfectly convey the Slavic sound system.
It is amazing that the “Message to the Slavs” is encrypted in this alphabet!
Now we will tell you about it.

Message to the Slavs

The text quoted below was published several years ago. But the amazing topic, unfortunately and surprisingly, was not continued. Therefore, in order to give it a “second wind”, I am publishing excerpts from this excellent article by Yaroslav Kesler. I cite exactly those passages that are of fundamental importance for understanding the Significance of this article -
Opening of the “Message to the Slavs”!
Yes we are let's understand better The significance of the Russian ABC, if we remember the words spoken in an interview with Academician Oleg Nikolaevich Trubachev (1930-2002) - the most prominent Russian Slavist:
“The alphabet is the same symbol of statehood as the Coat of Arms, Anthem, Banner. The alphabet is a shrine of sovereign significance.”

So, read, discover new things and enjoy the great poetry and wisdom of the Russian language!

"I know the letters:
Writing is an asset.
Work hard, people of earth,
Comprehend the universe!
Carry your word with conviction -
Knowledge is a gift from God!
Dare to delve into
Comprehend the existing light!
(“Message to the Slavs”)

Russian ABC - absolutely unique phenomenon among all known methods alphabetic letter.
The Russian ABC differs from other alphabets not only in its almost perfect embodiment of the principle of unambiguous graphic display: one sound - one letter.
In the Russian ABC - and only in it! – there is content.
In it, not even encrypted, but simply formulated in plain text, is the “Message to the Slavs” - to those who, since ancient times, have become the Bearer and Guardian of this Creation.

Here is what Yaroslav Kesler writes:
“...In normal coherent speech, one verb falls on average into three other parts of speech.
In the names of the letters of the Proto-Slavic alphabet, exactly this frequency of the verb is observed, which directly indicates the coherent nature of the alphabetic names. Thus, the Proto-Slavic alphabet is a MESSAGE - a set of coding phrases that allows each sound language system give an unambiguous graphic correspondence, that is, a letter.
Now let’s read the Message contained in the Proto-Slavic alphabet.
Let's start with the first three letters of the alphabet - Az, Buki, Vedi.

Az – “I”.
Buki (beeches) – “letters, writing.”
Vedi (vede) – “knew”, perfect past tense of “vedi” - to know, to know.

Combining the acrophonic names of the first three letters of the alphabet, we get the following phrase: “Az buki vede” - “I know the letters.”

All subsequent letters of the alphabet are combined into phrases:
A verb is a “word”, not only spoken, but also written.
Good - “property, acquired wealth.”
Yes (naturally) – 3rd person singular from the verb "to be".

“The verb is good” - “The word is an asset.”

Live – imperative mood, plural of “live” - “live in labor, and not vegetate.”
Zelo – “zealously, with zeal.”
Earth – “planet Earth and its inhabitants, earthlings.”
And is the conjunction “and”.
Izhe - “those who, they are the same.”
Kako - “like”, “like”.
People are “reasonable beings.”

“Live well, earth, and like people” - “Live, working hard, earthlings, and as befits people.”

Think – imperative mood, plural of “to think, to comprehend with the mind.”
Nash – “ours” in the usual meaning.
On - “that one” in the meaning of “single, united”.
Peace (peace) is “the basis of the universe.” (Compare “to rest” - “to be based on...”).

“Think about our chambers” - “Comprehend our universe.”

Rtsy (rtsi) – imperative mood: “speak, utter.”
The word is “transmitting knowledge.”
Firmly – “confidently, confidently.”

“Say your word firmly” - “Speak knowledge with conviction.”

Uk is the basis of knowledge, doctrine. (Cf. “science”, “teach”, “skill”).
Fert, f(b)ret – “fertilizes.”
Her - “divine, given from above.” “Wed. German "Herr" (lord, God), Greek. “hiero-” (divine), as well as the Russian name of God – Horus).

“Uk fret Kher” - “Knowledge is fertilized by the Almighty” (“Knowledge is the gift of God”).

Tsy (qi, tsti) - “sharpen, penetrate, delve, dare.”
Worm (worm) – “he who sharpens, penetrates.”
Ш(т)а (Ш, Ш) – “what” in the meaning “to”. (Cf. Ukrainian “scho”, Bulgarian “sche”).
Ъ, ь (еръ/ерь, ъръ) – apparently meant “existing”, “eternal”, “light”, “Sun”. “Ъръ” is one of the most ancient words of modern civilization. (Cf. Egyptian Ra - “Sun”, “God”). In the alphabet, in all likelihood, the word “Ър(а)” is in the genitive case with the meaning “Existing.”
Yus (yus small) - “light, old Russian jar.” (In modern Russian, the root “yas” is preserved, for example, in the word “clear”).
Yat (yati) – “to comprehend, to have.” (Cf. “withdraw”, “take”, etc.).

“Tsy, worm, shta I’m afraid!” stands for “Dare, sharpen, worm, in order to comprehend the light of God!”

The combination of the above phrases constitutes the elementary Message:

Az beeches vede.
The verb is good.
Live well, earth, and people like you,
think of our chambers.
Rtsy’s word is firm - uk fret dick.
Tsy, worm, shta ra yati!

And here again - a modern translation of the “Message to the Slavs” encrypted in the Russian ABC:

"I know the letters:
Writing is an asset.
Work hard, people of earth,
As befits reasonable people -
Comprehend the universe!
Carry your word with conviction -
Knowledge is a gift from God!
Dare to delve into
Comprehend the existing light!

This is not fantasy. This is our Mother Language!

And finally from myself.
The word “LOVE” means “People of God Know”!
“LU” – “PEOPLE”,
"BO" - "GOD"
“B” – “KNOW”.

And the name of the city JERUSALEM can be deciphered as follows:
And - “like”
E – “you”
Rus – “Russian”
Alim – “Olympus”

“He who art the Russian Olympus” = JERUSALEM!

Perhaps this version of deciphering the name of the glorious city will cause historians not only a reaction of rejection, but also a desire to study a simple question: could the name of Jerusalem, century after century, “travel” on the map and at one time be on the territory of Rus'-Russia?
In other words, did it not happen that this name was used to call “Jerusalem” in different centuries different cities, and the first was once on Russian soil, where did this name come from? Let's search and find out!

“In days of doubt, in days of painful thoughts about the fate of my Motherland,
You alone are my support and support, oh great, mighty, truthful and free Russian language!..
Without you, how would I not fall into despair at the sight of everything that is happening at home.
But one cannot believe that such a language was not given to a great people!”
(From the prose poem by I. S. Turgenev “Russian Language” (1882)

Key words: Russian language alphabet Message to the Slavs Cyril and Methodius Day of Slavic Literature and Culture

An article dedicated to the mystery of the Slavic alphabet invites you to plunge into the world of our ancestors and get acquainted with the message embedded in the alphabet. Your attitude towards the ancient message may be ambiguous, but we can confidently say that after reading the article you will look at the alphabet with different eyes.

The Old Church Slavonic alphabet got its name from the combination of two letters “az” and “buki”, which designated the first letters of the alphabet A and B. The most interesting fact is that the ancient Slavic alphabet was graffiti, i.e. messages scrawled on the walls. The first Old Slavonic letters appeared on the walls of churches in Pereslavl around the 9th century. And by the 11th century, ancient graffiti appeared in the St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv. It was on these walls that the letters of the alphabet were indicated in several styles, and below was the interpretation of the letter-word.

In 1574 it happened most important event, which contributed to a new round of development of Slavic writing. The first printed “ABC” appeared in Lvov, which was seen by Ivan Fedorov, the man who printed it.

ABC structure

If you look back, you will see that Cyril and Methodius created not just an alphabet, they revealed to the Slavic people new way, leading to the perfection of man on earth and the triumph of a new faith. If you look at historical events, the difference between which is only 125 years, you will understand that in fact the path to establishing Christianity on our land is directly related to the creation of the Slavic alphabet. After all, literally in one century, the Slavic people eradicated archaic cults and adopted a new faith. The connection between the creation of the Cyrillic alphabet and the adoption of Christianity today does not raise any doubts. The Cyrillic alphabet was created in 863, and already in 988, Prince Vladimir officially announced the introduction of Christianity and the overthrow of primitive cults.

Studying the Old Church Slavonic alphabet, many scientists come to the conclusion that in fact the first “ABC” is a secret writing that has a deep religious and philosophical meaning, and most importantly, that it is constructed in such a way that it represents a complex logical-mathematical organism. In addition, by comparing many finds, the researchers came to the conclusion that the first Slavic alphabet was created as a complete invention, and not as a creation that was created in parts by adding new letter forms. It is also interesting that most of the letters of the Old Church Slavonic alphabet are number letters. Moreover, if you look at the entire alphabet, you will see that it can be conditionally divided into two parts, which are fundamentally different from each other. In this case, we will conditionally call the first half of the alphabet the “higher” part, and the second “lower”. The highest part includes the letters from A to F, i.e. from “az” to “fert” and is a list of letter-words that carry a meaning understandable to a Slav. The lower part of the alphabet begins with the letter “sha” and ends with “izhitsa”. Lower part letters Old Church Slavonic alphabet have no numerical value, unlike the letters of the higher part, and carry a negative connotation.

In order to understand the secret writing of the Slavic alphabet, it is necessary not just to skim through it, but to read carefully into each letter-word. After all, each letter-word contains a semantic core that Konstantin put into it.

Literal truth, the highest part of the alphabet

Az is the initial letter of the Slavic alphabet, which denotes the pronoun I. However, its root meaning is the word “initially”, “begin” or “beginning”, although in everyday life the Slavs most often used Az in the context of a pronoun. Nevertheless, in some Old Church Slavonic letters one can find Az, which meant “alone,” for example, “I’ll go to Vladimir.” Or “starting from scratch” meant “starting from the beginning.” Thus, the Slavs denoted with the beginning of the alphabet the entire philosophical meaning of existence, where without beginning there is no end, without darkness there is no light, and without good there is no evil. At the same time, the main emphasis in this is placed on the duality of the structure of the world. Actually, the alphabet itself is built on the principle of duality, where it is conventionally divided into two parts: higher and lower, positive and negative, the part located at the beginning and the part that is at the end. In addition, do not forget that Az has a numerical value, which is expressed by the number 1. Among the ancient Slavs, the number 1 was the beginning of everything beautiful. Today, studying Slavic numerology, we can say that the Slavs, like other peoples, divided all numbers into even and odd. Moreover, odd numbers were the embodiment of everything positive, good and bright. Even numbers, in turn, represented darkness and evil. At the same time, the unit was considered the beginning of all beginnings and was highly revered Slavic tribes. From the point of view of erotic numerology, it is believed that 1 represents the phallic symbol from which procreation begins. This number has several synonyms: 1 is one, 1 is one, 1 is times.

Buki (Buki)- the second letter-word in the alphabet. It has no digital meaning, but has no less deep philosophical meaning than Az. Beeches- means “to be”, “will be” was most often used with revolutions in future form. For example, “boudi” means “let it be,” and “boudous,” as you probably already guessed, means “future, upcoming.” In this word, our ancestors expressed the future as an inevitability, which could be either good and rosy or gloomy and terrible. It is still not known for certain why Bukam Constantine did not give a numerical value, but many scholars suggest that this is due to the duality of this letter. Indeed, by and large, it denotes the future, which every person imagines for himself in a rosy light, but on the other hand, this word also denotes the inevitability of punishment for committed low deeds.

Lead- an interesting letter of the Old Church Slavonic alphabet, which has a numerical value of 2. This letter has several meanings: to know, to know and to own. When Konstantin invested in Lead this meaning, it implied intimate knowledge, knowledge as the highest divine gift. If you fold Az, Beeches And Lead into one phrase, you get a phrase that means “I will know!” Thus, Constantine showed that a person who discovered the alphabet he created would subsequently possess some kind of knowledge. The numerical load of this letter is no less important. After all, 2 - deuce, two, pair were not just numbers among the Slavs, they took an active part in magical rituals and in general were symbols of the duality of everything earthly and heavenly. The number 2 among the Slavs meant the unity of heaven and earth, the duality of human nature, good and evil, etc. In a word, the deuce was a symbol of the confrontation between two sides, heavenly and earthly balance. Moreover, it is worth noting that the Slavs considered two to be a devilish number and attributed to it a lot of negative properties, believing that it was the two that opened number series negative numbers that bring death to a person. That is why the birth of twins in Old Slavic families was considered bad sign who brought illness and misfortune to the family. In addition, the Slavs considered it a bad sign for two people to rock a cradle, for two people to dry themselves with the same towel, and generally to perform any action together. Despite such a negative attitude towards the number 2, the Slavs recognized its magical power. For example, many banishing rituals evil spirits carried out using two identical items or with the participation of twins.

Verb- a letter whose meaning is the performance of some action or the pronunciation of speech. Synonyms of letters and words Verb are: verb, speak, conversation, speech, and in some contexts the word verb was used in the meaning of “write.” For example, the phrase “May the verb give us the word, the thought, and the action” means that “rational speech gives us words, thoughts, and actions.” Verb was always used only in a positive context, and its numerical value was the number 3 - three. Three or triad, as our ancestors often called it, was considered a divine number.

Firstly, the troika is a symbol of spirituality and the unity of the soul with the Holy Trinity.
Secondly, the three/triad was an expression of the unity of heaven, earth and the underworld.
Third, the triad symbolizes the completion of a logical sequence: beginning - middle - end.

Finally, the triad symbolizes the past, present and future.

If you look at most Slavic rituals and magical actions, you will see that they all ended with a three-time repetition of a ritual. The simplest example is triple baptism after prayer.

Good- the fifth letter in the Slavic alphabet, which is a symbol of purity and goodness. The true meaning of this word is “good, virtue.” At the same time, in a letter Good Konstantin invested not only purely human traits character, but also a virtue that all people who love the Heavenly Father must adhere to. Under Good Scientists, first of all, see virtue from the point of view of a person’s maintenance of religious canons, which symbolize the Commandments of the Lord. For example, Old Church Slavonic phrase: “Virtue and true diligence in living” carries the meaning that a person should real life maintain virtue.

Numerical value of the letter Good denoted by the number 4, i.e. four. What did the Slavs put into this number? First of all, the four symbolized the four elements: fire, water, earth and air, the four ends of the holy cross, the four cardinal directions and the four corners of the room. Thus, the four was a symbol of stability and even inviolability. Despite the fact that this even number, the Slavs did not treat it negatively, because it was it, together with the three, that gave the divine number 7.

One of the most multifaceted words of the Old Church Slavonic alphabet is Eat. This word is denoted by words such as “is”, “sufficiency”, “presence”, “essence”, “being”, “nature”, “nature” and other synonyms that express the meaning of these words. Surely, having heard this letter-word, many of us will immediately remember the phrase from the movie “Ivan Vasilyevich is changing his profession,” which has already become popular: “I am the king!” On this clear example It is easy to understand that the person who said this phrase positions himself as a king, that is, the king is his real essence. Number letter puzzle Eat hiding in the top five. Five is one of the most controversial numbers in Slavic numerology. After all, it is both positive and negative number, as, probably, a number that consists of the “divine” triad and the “satanic” two.

If speak about positive aspects five, which is the numerical value of the letter Eat, then, first of all, it should be noted that this number carries great religious potential: in Holy Scripture five is a symbol of grace and mercy. The oil for sacred anointing consisted of 5 parts, which included 5 ingredients, and when performing the “smudging” ritual, 5 different ingredients are also used, such as: incense, stakt, onykh, lebanon and halvan.

Other philosophical thinkers argue that the five is an identification with the five human senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. There are also negative qualities in the top five, which were found by some researchers of Old Church Slavonic culture. In their opinion, among the ancient Slavs, the number five was a symbol of risk and war. A clear indication of this is the conduct of battles by the Slavs mainly on Fridays. Friday among the Slavs was a symbol of the number five. However, there are some contradictions here, as other numerology researchers believe that the Slavs preferred to conduct battles and battles on Fridays solely because they considered five a lucky number and thanks to this they hoped to win the battle.

live- letter-word, which is designated today as a letter AND. The meaning of this letter is quite simple and clear and is expressed by words such as “living”, “life” and “living”. In this letter, the wise Constantine put a word that everyone understood, which denoted the existence of all life on the planet, as well as the creation of new life. In many of his works, Constantine showed that life is a great gift that a person possesses, and this gift should be aimed at doing good deeds. If you combine the meaning of the letter live with the meaning of the previous letters, then you will get the phrase conveyed by Constantine to posterity: “I will know and say that goodness is inherent in all living things...” The letter Livete is not endowed with a numerical characteristic, and this remains another mystery that the great scientist left behind, philosopher, speaker and linguist Konstantin.

Zelo- a letter that is a combination of two sounds [d] and [z]. The main meaning of this letter for the Slavs was the words “strong” and “strong”. The letter itself is a word Zelo was used in Old Slavonic writings as “zelo”, which meant strongly, firmly, very, very, and it could also often be found in a sentence as “green”, i.e. strong, strong or abundant. If we consider this letter in the context of the word “very,” then we can cite as an example the lines of the great Russian poet Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, who wrote: “Now I must deeply apologize to you for the long silence.” In this expression, “apologize very much” can easily be rephrased into the phrase “apologize very much.” Although the expression “to change a lot” would also be appropriate here.

• the sixth paragraph of the Lord's Prayer speaks of sin;
• the sixth commandment speaks about the most terrible sin of man - murder;
• the line of Cain ended with the sixth generation;
• the notorious mythical snake had 6 names;
• The devil's number is presented in all sources as three sixes "666".

The list of unpleasant associations associated with the number 6 among the Slavs goes on. However, we can conclude that in some Old Slavonic sources, philosophers also noticed the mystical appeal of the six. So the love that arises between a man and a woman was also associated with the six, which is a combination of two triads.

Earth- the ninth letter of the Old Church Slavonic alphabet, the meaning of which is represented as “land” or “country”. Sometimes in sentences the letter is a word Earth was used in such meanings as “region”, “country”, “people”, “land”, or this word meant the human body. Why did Konstantin name the letter this way? Everything is very simple! After all, we all live on earth, in our own country, and belong to some nationality. Therefore the word is a letter Earth represents a concept behind which the community of the people is hidden. Moreover, everything starts small and ends with something big and immense. That is, Constantine in this letter embodied the following phenomenon: each person is part of a family, each family belongs to a community, and each community together represents a people who live in a certain territory called their native land. And these patches of land, which we call our native land, are united into a huge country where there is one God. However, apart from deeply philosophical meaning in letter Earth a number is hidden that is directly related to the life of Constantine himself. This number 7 is seven, seven, week. What can modern youth know about the number 7? The only thing is that seven brings good luck. However, for the ancient Slavs and in particular for Constantine, seven was a very significant number.

Firstly, Konstantin was the seventh child in the family.
Secondly, it was at the age of seven that Konstantin dreamed of the Beautiful Sofia. If you delve a little deeper into history, you would like to talk about this dream. Sophia the Wise in the beliefs of the Byzantines was a deity like Athena among the ancient Greeks. Sophia was considered a symbol of Divine Wisdom and was revered as the supreme deity. And then one day seven-year-old Konstantin had a dream in which the Lord turned to him and said: “Choose any girl to be your wife.” At the same time, Konstantin looked at all the girls in the city and saw Sofia, who in his dream appeared as a beautiful pink-cheeked girl. He approached her, took her by the hand and led her to the Lord. Having told this dream to his father in the morning, he heard in response the following words: “Keep, son, the law of your father and do not reject punishment from the hand of your mother, then you will say words of wisdom..." The father gave this parting word to Konstantin, as a young man who was embarking on the righteous path. However, Constantine understood that in life there is not only the righteous or the right way, but also the path that awaits those who do not honor the Divine commandments.

The number seven for the Slavs and Constantine in particular meant the number spiritual perfection, on which God's seal lay. Moreover, we can see the seven almost everywhere in Everyday life: a week consists of seven days, a musical alphabet of seven notes, etc. Religious books and scriptures also cannot do without mentioning the number seven.

Izhe- a letter whose meaning can be expressed by the words “if”, “if” and “when”. The meaning of these words has not changed to this day, it’s just that in everyday life modern Slavs use synonyms Izhe: if and when. Konstantin was more fascinated not by the verbal decoding of this letter-word, but by the numerical one. After all Izhe The number 10 corresponds to ten, ten, decade, as we call this number today. Among the Slavs, the number ten is considered the third number, which denotes divine perfection and orderly completeness. If you look at history and various sources, you will see that the ten has a deep religious and philosophical meaning:

• The 10 commandments are God's completed code, which reveals to us the basic rules of virtue;
• 10 generations represent the complete cycle of a family or nation;
• in the prayer “Our Father!” contains 10 moments that represent a completed cycle of acceptance of God, reverence for the Almighty, a plea for deliverance, and the logical final moment is the recognition of His eternity.

And this is only an incomplete cycle of references to the number 10 in various sources.

Kako- a letter-word of the Slavic alphabet that means “like” or “like.” A simple example of the use of this word “like him” today is simply “like him.” In this word, Constantine tried to express the similarity of man with God. After all, God created man in his own image and likeness. Numerical characteristic This letter corresponds to twenty.

People- a letter of the Slavic alphabet, which speaks for itself about the meaning that is inherent in it. The true meaning of the letter People used to refer to people of any class, gender and gender. From this letter came such expressions as the human race, to live like humans. But perhaps the most famous phrase, which we still use today, is “to go out into the people,” which meant going out into the square for meetings and celebrations. Thus, our ancestors worked for a whole week, and on Sunday, which was the only day off, they dressed up and went out to the square to “look at others and show themselves off.” Letter-word People The number 30 corresponds to thirty.

Myslete- a very important letter-word, the true meaning of which means “to think”, “thinking”, “to think”, “to reflect” or, as our ancestors said, “to think with the mind”. For the Slavs, the word “think” did not just mean sitting and thinking about eternity, this word included spiritual communication with God. Myslete is the letter that corresponds to the number 40 - forty. In Slavic thinking, the number 40 had a special meaning, because when the Slavs said “very much,” they meant 40. Apparently, in ancient times this was the highest number. For example, remember the phrase “forty forty.” She says that the Slavs represented the number 40, as we do today, for example, the number 100 is one hundred. If we turn to the Sacred Writings, then it is worth noting that the Slavs considered 40 to be another divine number, which means certain period the time that the human soul passes from the moment of temptation to the moment of punishment. Hence the tradition of commemorating the deceased on the 40th day after death.

Letter-word Our also speaks for itself. Konstantin the Philosopher put into it two meanings: “our” and “brother”. That is, this word expresses kinship or closeness in spirit. Synonyms for the true meaning of the letter were words such as “our own”, “native”, “close” and “belonging to our family”. Thus, the ancient Slavs divided all people into two castes: “us” and “strangers”. Letter-word Our has its own numerical value, which, as you probably already guessed, is 50 - fifty.

The next word in the alphabet is presented modern letter ABOUT, which in the Old Church Slavonic alphabet is designated by the word He. True meaning This letter is "face". Besides that He denoted a personal pronoun, it was used to designate a person, personality or person. The number that corresponds to this word is 70 - seventy.

Peace- the letter of the spirituality of the Slavic people. True meaning Peace is about peace and quiet. Constantine the Philosopher invested special peace of mind or spiritual harmony in this letter. In various works, he often focused people’s attention on the fact that only by having grace in the soul can one find peace of mind. Agree, he's right! Man committing good deeds He who has pure thoughts and respects the commandments lives in harmony with himself. He doesn't need to pretend to anyone because he is at peace with himself. Number corresponding to letter Peace equals 80 - eighty.

Rtsy- is an ancient Slavic letter that we know today as the letter R. Of course, by asking a simple modern man you are unlikely to hear an answer about whether he knows what this word means. However, the letter-word Rtsy was well known to those who held in their hands or saw the first Slavic alphabet on the walls of churches. True meaning Rtsy consists in words such as “you will utter”, “you will say”, “you will express” and other words that are close in meaning. For example, the expression “talks of wisdom” means “speak wise words.” This word was often used in ancient writings, but today its meaning has lost its significance for modern people. The numerical value of Rtsy is 100 - one hundred.

Word- a letter about which we can say that it gives the name to all our speech. Since man came up with the word, surrounding objects have received their own names, and people have ceased to be a faceless mass and have received names. In the Slavic alphabet Word has many synonyms: legend, speech, sermon. All these synonyms were often used when composing both official letters and writing scholarly treatises. IN colloquial speech this letter is also widely used. Numerical analogue of a letter Word is 200 - two hundred.

The next letter of the alphabet is known to us today as the letter T, however, the ancient Slavs knew it as a letter-word Firmly. As you understand, the true meaning of this letter speaks for itself, and it means “solid” or “true.” It was from this letter that it came famous expression“I stand firm on my word.” This means that a person clearly understands what he is saying and asserts the correctness of his thoughts and words. Such hardness is destiny or very wise people or complete fools. However, the letter Firmly indicated that the person who says something or does something feels right. If we talk about the numerical self-affirmation of the letter Firmly, then it is worth saying that it corresponds to the number 300 - three hundred.

Oak- another letter in the alphabet, which today has been transformed into the letter U. It is, of course, difficult for an ignorant person to understand what this word means, but the Slavs knew it as “law.” Oak often used in the meaning of “decree”, “to fasten”, “lawyer”, “to indicate”, “to fasten”, etc. Most often, this letter was used to denote government decrees, laws adopted by officials and was rarely used in a spiritual context.

Completes the galaxy of “higher” letters of the alphabet Firth. This unusual letter-word means nothing more than glory, pinnacle, top. But this concept is not addressed to human glory, which denotes the fame of a person, but gives glory to eternity. note that Firth is the logical ending of the “higher” part of the alphabet and represents a conditional end. But this end gives us food for thought that there is still eternity that we must glorify. Numeric value Ferta is 500 - five hundred.

Having examined the highest part of the alphabet, we can state the fact that it is secret message Constantine to posterity. “Where is this visible?” - you ask. Now try to read all the letters, knowing their true meaning. If you take several subsequent letters, then edifying phrases are formed:

• Vedi + Verb means “know the teaching”;
• Rtsy + Word + Firmly can be understood as the phrase “speak the true word”;
• Firmly + Oak can be interpreted as “strengthen the law.”

If you look closely at other letters, you can also find the secret writing that Constantine the Philosopher left behind.

Have you ever wondered why the letters in the alphabet are in this particular order and not in any other? The order of the “highest” part of the Cyrillic letters can be considered from two positions.

Firstly, the fact that each letter-word forms a meaningful phrase with the next one may mean a non-random pattern that was invented to quickly memorize the alphabet.

Secondly, the Old Church Slavonic alphabet can be considered from the point of view of numbering. That is, each letter also represents a number. Moreover, all letter-numbers are arranged in ascending order. So, the letter A - “az” corresponds to one, B - 2, G - 3, D - 4, E - 5, and so on up to ten. Tens begin with the letter K, which are listed here similarly to units: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 70, 80 and 100.

In addition, many scientists have noticed that the outlines of the letters of the “higher” part of the alphabet are graphically simple, beautiful and convenient. They were perfect for cursive writing, and a person did not experience any difficulties in depicting these letters. And many philosophers see in the numerical arrangement of the alphabet the principle of the triad and spiritual harmony that a person achieves, striving for good, light and truth.

Literal truth, the “lowest” part of the alphabet

As an educated person who strives for truth, Constantine could not lose sight of the fact that good cannot exist without evil. Therefore, the “lowest” part of the Old Church Slavonic alphabet is the embodiment of everything base and evil that is in man. So, let's get acquainted with the letters of the “lower” part of the alphabet, which do not have a numerical value. By the way, pay attention, there are not many of them, not only 13!

The “lowest” part of the alphabet begins with the letter Sha. The true meaning of this letter can be expressed in words such as “trash”, “nonentity” or “liar”. Often in sentences they were used to indicate the entire baseness of a person who was called shabala, which means a liar and idle talker. Another word derived from the letter Sha, “shabendat”, which means fussing over trifles. And especially vile people were called the word “shaveren”, that is, trash or insignificant person.

Very similar to Sha the letter is the next letter Now. What associations do you have when you hear this letter? But our ancestors used this letter when they talked about vanity or mercy, but it is a root synonym for the letter Now You can only find one word: “mercilessly.” For example, a simple Old Church Slavonic phrase “betray without mercy.” Its modern meaning can be expressed in the phrase “mercilessly betrayed.”

Er. In ancient times, Erami were called thieves, swindlers and rogues. Today we know this letter as Ъ. Er is not endowed with any numerical value, like the other twelve letters of the lower part of the alphabet.

eras- this is a letter that has survived to this day and appears in our alphabet, like Y. As you understand, it also has an unpleasant meaning and means a drunkard, because in ancient times revelers and drunkards who hung around idle were called erigs. In fact, there were people who did not work, but only walked and drank intoxicating drinks. They were in great disfavour among the entire community and were often persecuted with stones.

Er represents b in the modern alphabet, but the meaning of this letter is unknown to many contemporaries. Er had several meanings: “heresy”, “heretic”, “enemy”, “sorcerer” and “renegade”. If this letter meant “renegade,” then the person was called “erik.” In other definitions, a person was called a “heretic.”

This word was perhaps the most terrible of all Slavic insults. After all, we all know very well from history what happened to heretics...

Yat- this is the letter to which the synonym “accept” is most suitable. In Old Church Slavonic texts it was most often used as “imat” and “yatny”. Amazing words, especially for modern people. Although I think that some of the slang words used by our teenagers would not have been understood by the ancient Slavs. “Have” was used in the context of catching or taking. “Yatny” was used in Old Slavonic texts when they talked about something accessible or an easily achievable goal.

YU[y] is the letter of grief and sadness. Its root meaning is a bitter lot and an unhappy fate. The Slavs called vale a bad fate. From the same letter comes the word holy fool, which means an ugly and insane person. Fools in Constantine's alphabet were designated exclusively from a negative point of view, but we should not forget who the holy fools were originally. After all, if you look at history, you will see that wandering monks and companions of Jesus who imitated the Son of God, accepting ridicule and mockery, were called holy fools.

[AND I- a letter that has no name, but it contains a deep and terrifying meaning. The true meaning of this letter is several concepts such as "exile", "outcast" or "torment". Both exile and outcast are synonyms for one concept that has deep ancient Russian roots. Behind this word was an unfortunate man who had fallen out of social environment and doesn't fit into existing society. It's interesting that in ancient Russian state There was such a thing as a “rogue prince.” Rogue princes are people who lost their inheritance due to the premature death of relatives who did not have time to transfer their possessions to them.

[I]E- another letter of the “lower” part of the alphabet, which does not have a name. The ancient Slavs had completely unpleasant associations with this letter, because it meant “torment” and “suffering”. Often this letter was used in the context of eternal torment experienced by sinners who do not recognize the laws of God and do not keep the 10 commandments.

Two more interesting letters of the Old Church Slavonic alphabet Yus small And Yus big. They are very similar in form and meaning. Let's look at what their differences are.

Yus small shaped like tied hands. The most interesting thing is that the root meaning of this letter is “bonds”, “fetters”, “chains”, “knots” and words with similar meanings. Often Yus small was used in texts as a symbol of punishment and was denoted by the following words: bonds and knots.

Yus big was a symbol of a dungeon or prison, as a more severe punishment for atrocities committed by a person. It is interesting that the shape of this letter was similar to a dungeon. Most often in ancient Slavic texts you can find this letter in the form of the word uziliche, which meant a prison or prison. The derivatives of these two letters are the letters Iotov yus small And Iotov yus big. Graphic image Iotova Yusa small in Cyrillic is similar to the image Yusa small, however, in the Glagolitic alphabet these two letters have completely different forms. The same can be said about Iotov Yus the Great and Yus the Great. What is the secret of such a striking difference? After all, the semantic meaning that we know about today is very similar for these letters and represents a logical chain. Let's look at each graphic image of these four letters in the Glagolitic alphabet.

Yus small, denoting bonds or shackles, is depicted in the Glagolitic alphabet as human body, whose hands and feet seem to be wearing shackles. Behind Yus small coming Iotov yus small, which means imprisonment, confinement of a person in a dungeon or prison. This letter in the Glagolitic alphabet is depicted as a certain substance similar to a cell. What happens next? And then it goes Yus big, which is a symbol of a prison and is depicted in Glagolitic as a crooked figure. It's amazing, but Yus big coming Iotov yus big, which means execution, and his graphic image in Glagolitic is nothing more than a gallows. Now let's look separately semantic meanings these four letters and their graphic analogies. Their meaning can be reflected in a simple phrase that indicates a logical sequence: first they put shackles on a person, then they imprison them in prison, and finally the logical conclusion of the punishment is execution. What comes out of this simple example? But it turns out that Constantine, creating the “lower” part of the alphabet, also put into it a certain hidden meaning and ordered all the signs according to a certain logical criterion. If you look at all thirteen letters of the lower row of the alphabet, you will see that they are a conditional edification for the Slavic people. Combining all thirteen letters according to their meaning, we get the following phrase: “Insignificant liars, thieves, swindlers, drunkards and heretics will accept a bitter fate - they will be tortured as outcasts, shackled, thrown into prison and executed!” Thus, Constantine the Philosopher gives the Slavs the admonition that all sinners will be punished.

In addition, graphically all the letters of the “lower” part are much more difficult to reproduce than the letters of the first half of the alphabet, and what immediately catches the eye is that many of them do not have a name or numerical identification.

And finally, about the second half of the Old Church Slavonic alphabet, we can say that most letter-words do not have that a positive start, which is embedded in the letters of the “higher” part. Almost all of them are expressed in hissing syllables. The letters of this part of the alphabet are tongue-tied and lack melody, unlike those located at the beginning of the table.

Divine part of the alphabet

Having studied the true meaning of the two parts of the Old Church Slavonic alphabet, we receive two pieces of advice from the sage. However, don’t think that the ABC secrets end there. After all, we have a few more letters that stand apart from all the others. These signs include letters Her, Omega, Tsy And Worm.

The most interesting thing is that the letters X - Dick And W - Omega stand in the center of the alphabet and are enclosed in a circle, which, you see, expresses their superiority over the other letters of the alphabet. The main features of these two letters are that they migrated into the Old Slavonic alphabet from the Greek alphabet and have a dual meaning. Look at them carefully. The right side of these letters is a reflection of the left side, thus emphasizing their polarity. Perhaps Constantine, not by accident, but deliberately borrowed these letters from the Greeks? Indeed, in the Greek sense, the letter X means the Universe, and even its numerical value 600 - six hundred corresponds to the word “space”. Constantine put in the letter X the unity of God and man.

Considering the letter W, which corresponds to the number 800 - eight hundred, I would like to focus on the fact that it means the word “faith”. Thus, these two letters circled symbolize faith in God and are an image of the fact that somewhere in the Universe there is a cosmic sphere where the Lord lives, who determined the fate of man from beginning to end.

In addition, Konstantin in the letter Her invested a special meaning, which can be reflected by the word “cherub” or “ancestor”. Cherubim were considered the highest angels who were closest to God and surrounded the Throne of the Lord. Slavic words derived from the letter Her, have only positive value: cherub, heroism, which means heroism, heraldry (respectively heraldry), etc.

In its turn, Omega on the contrary, it meant finality, end or death. This word has many derivatives, so “offensive” means eccentric, and disgusting means something very bad.

Thus, Her And Omega, enclosed in a circle, were the symbol of this circle. Look at their meanings: beginning and end. But a circle is a line that has neither beginning nor end. However, at the same time, it is both the beginning and the end.

There are two more letters in this “enchanted” circle, which we know in the Old Church Slavonic alphabet as Tsy And Worm. The most interesting thing is that these letters have a dual meaning in the Old Church Slavonic alphabet.

So positive meaning Tsy can be expressed in the words church, kingdom, king, Caesar, cycle and many more similar words-synonyms of these meanings. In this case the letter Tsy meant both the kingdom of earth and the kingdom of heaven. At the same time, it was used with a negative connotation. For example, “tsits!” - shut up, stop talking; “tsiryukat” - shouting, shouting and “tsyba”, which meant an unstable, thin-legged person and was considered an insult.

Letter Worm also has both positive features, and negative. From this letter came such words as monk, that is, monk; brow, cup, child, man, etc. All the negativity that could be thrown out with this letter can be expressed in words such as worm - a low-lying, reptile creature, womb - belly, devil - offspring and others.

Having studied the alphabet from the very beginning, we can come to the conclusion that Constantine left his descendants the main value - a creation that encourages us to strive for self-improvement, learning, wisdom and love, trampling the dark paths of anger, envy and enmity.

Now, revealing the alphabet, you will know that the creation that was born thanks to the efforts of Constantine the Philosopher is not just a list of letters with which words begin that express our fear and indignation, love and tenderness, respect and delight.

There are two words: alphabet and alphabet. Most people think they are the same thing. Far from it. ABC is a Slavic word, alphabet is Greek. The word “alphabet” consists of the names of its first two letters – az and beeches. The alphabet is made up of the first two Greek letters: alpha and beta. It would seem that there is no difference. And yet the difference is fundamental: in the alphabet the letters are images, in the alphabet they are simply carriers of information. To put it in a not entirely politically incorrect way, the alphabet is a simplified alphabet.

Today no one knows, or even assumes, that the capital letters of the alphabet were based on two symbols... a man and a woman! They were depicted symbolically - with vertical lines. Carved on wooden tablets: the right line symbolized a man, the left - a woman I I. If a man and a woman were drawn to each other and connected at the upper level, in our opinion, by fontanelles, as in this simple drawing

Λ

– it meant... love! The only letter left in the alphabet is “ Λ ", corresponding to a specific sound. I think it is no coincidence that in all European languages ​​“love” begins with the sound “ Λ " Except for French. In French love is amour, which also has secret meaning. The sound combination “MR” in the Indo-European proto-language corresponded to everything connected with death. Sound A is still used in many languages ​​as a contrast. Therefore, “amour” is the opposite of death, that is, life! Love is the main manifestation of life. However, let's return to our native wisdom.

If a man and woman love each other Λ and connected at a lower, everyday level, which means that they built their home Δ

The first post-cave dwellings of people were built in the form of pyramids - plagues, wigwams, huts... In the alphabet, only simple letter“D” does not mean anything other than how it should be pronounced. By the way, this symbol of the house was carved on a wooden plank like a pyramid, which stands on small legs so that the home is ventilated and does not rot. Exactly ours capital letter"D".

I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the correspondence of an image to the first letters of the word that this image denotes exists only in the Slavic alphabet. Here is another great example of this. If a man and woman love each other Λ and connect with bodies, pardon the frankness, at the sexual level A, this means that a child with a primordial sound should come to them from Space A. Our ancestors were sure that children come to us from Space, from the Universe. Therefore the sound A- this is the first sound from which everything begins. That's why the letter A always came first in the alphabet. It was called "az". Translated into modern terms, “the basics” are... the beginning of the beginning!

In general, the word “letter” is interesting. The fact is that long before Cyril and Methodius, the Slavs used writings called devils and cuts. It was not writing as we understand it today. Symbols and signs were carved on wooden planks. Most often - on beech trees. Beech cuts well, as they would now say - a technological material. And if you pour water on a beech board on which something is carved (you can try this yourself), then what is carved appears clearly. These two words: “beech” and “water” merged into the word “letter”.

In English it is shortened to "book". Using the example of this English word, it is interesting to trace how society developed, how new words appeared, or how old ones were given a different meaning. When restaurants that required reservations in advance became popular, people called head waiters and they wrote down the names of customers in a book. This is how a new connotation of the word was born in English: “to book” - to reserve, order seats in advance. The funny thing is that our emigrants, considering this word cool, screwed it into our supposedly uncool native speech. And many today, pretending to be cool, very importantly say: “We should book a table for the evening!” Here is such an ugly reminder from our past about the Slavic initial letter and beech tablets.

Planks with features and cuts selected in a certain order were called initial letters. First, a horizontal line was drawn. Letters were carefully cut out underneath it. They were hung to this line like laundry hanging on a line to dry. Only the line above the letters symbolized the sky. The letters seemed to be supported from above by the heavens - this emphasized their divine meaning. And the letter was called heavenly.

Many years will pass, I would even say centuries, and the letters will move to the lower horizontal line and land. This will mean that a person's life has changed. Life began to develop, it came out on top, and conquered spirituality. And most people no longer cared about heavenly things. The initial letter consisted only of letters, as we now say, capital letters. Ancient feelings and images of love are still reflected at home, not in capital letters. Capital letters are ugly. They appeared when people began to put trade at the forefront of their development. It was necessary to record the quantity of goods sold. And in order to have time to serve the next customer, it was necessary to write in cursive. The original symbols began to change. Capital letters are only a distant reminder of features and cuts, so in themselves they are boring, there is no mystery in them. No wonder the Slavs said “truths,” that is, banal, boring!

Either way, the main ones that have survived and come down to us chapters new signs. Even in their name we see that they are the main ones. Everyone has a secret.

A person stands firmly on the ground with his arms outstretched to the sides - this is the letter “T”. Means "firmament".

The letter "C" is interesting. However, before revealing the secret of this letter, I must warn that in ancient times people treated love without hypocrisy. Many words that we consider today to be foul language were not just commonplace, but even sacred, because main task each person was considered to continue the family line. This means that the reproductive organs had to be loved, respected and glorified, and not cursed with them. Lower-belt jokes were also not welcome, since the topic was not considered taboo, and it did not require false courage.

So the letter “C” is the image of a spermatozoon. Children in penmanship lessons once drew it like this - with a convincing dot at the top. "C" connects two energies for future life. Therefore, it is no coincidence that the word “seed” begins with it. And even the word “meaning” comes from “seed”. It was believed that it was in the seed main meaning human life. Some time passed, and the original meaning was lost, but the connecting role remained. If we combine, for example, “C” and “T” (connection with the firmament), we get a lot of words meaning objects that are motionless, as if connected with the surface of the earth: st ol, st st, st oyak, st ena, st oilo, st oibishche, st olb... Any of you can easily continue this list.

The symbol of male energy is a wedge pointing upward, like the tip of the male reproductive organ; the symbol of female energy is a wedge pointing down, an acute-angled vessel. If you touch them and connect them tightly with a dash-lock, you get “F”. Life! Later, when people began to pay more attention to the everyday side of life, it began to seem to them that the letter “F” symbolizes a beetle that you look at from above. This may be a good image, but it’s still too rustic and down-to-earth for our natural history alphabet. If you sit for a long time in silence in a forest clearing, you will hear how nature sounds - light, almost at the level of a whisper: w-w-w-w... Therefore, with the sound “z” both “life” and “alive” begin...

The letter "B" is a pregnant woman. Funny! But it's not as simple as it seems. The word "pregnant" is derived from the words "God", "Ra" and "matter". This new matter is given by God and light! Therefore, the word “God” begins with the letter “B”. Remember how in the Bible? First there was the Word. And that word was God. The main thing is procreation. This is the main covenant of the Creator.

Any of you can take a closer look at the rest of the letters of our alphabet. I also advise you to read the works of Yaroslav Kesler. You will see that each letter of our alphabet, in addition to the image, corresponds to a word. How do we read the alphabet? A, bae, ve, ge, de... Simple! How did they read the alphabet in the old days and how did they teach it? I Know God and the Verb Good Is Life... If you read it from A to Z in this way, then a certain message will appear to us, our contemporaries, from our ancestors. It is the alphabet that should be learned with childhood, the ancestors tried to warn us that we should not forget in the developing future world of trade, science, war and politics. And so that our creative thinking did not turn into ugly, or even more precisely - into ugly!

After all, if you substitute the corresponding images from our alphabet into the word “love”, then it will reveal: “People of God Know”! Remove the syllable “bo” from the Russian word “love”, which means God, and you get a short “lyub”, almost the English “love”. I once expressed my opinion to an English-speaking person who knew Russian well: English word“love” is our love, but without God. That is sex! That is why in the West it is customary to sign marriage contracts: “I undertake to love you until the grave, if I do not fulfill my promise, I will pay a penalty.” My interlocutor only smiled in response: “The Russians invented love so as not to pay money!” He thought he had insulted me. And I think I praised him. Love and money have always been incompatible in the world of our ancestors, who lived in harmony with nature, like butterflies, bees, and birds. But if our alphabet is finally replaced by the alphabet, I’m afraid that we, like today’s businessmen and officials, will pay even for love.

Of course, you can object to me, they say, where is the evidence that the Slavs had features and cuts, and letters with initial letters? After all official science claims that before Cyril and Methodius, no written language existed... If my opinion is interesting, I will devote the next post to Cyril and Methodius, Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, Lomonosov, Lunacharsky, and how the letter E will someday save us! So, to be continued...

Let's look at the first three letters of the alphabet - Az, Buki, Vedi.
Az - “I”. Buki (beeches) - letters, writing. Vedi (vede) - “knew”, perfect past tense from “vediti” - to know, to know.
Combining the acrophonic names of the first three letters of the ABC, we get the following phrase: Az, Buki, Vedi - I know the letters. All subsequent letters of the ABC are combined into phrases:
A verb is a “word”, and not only spoken, but also written.
Good is “property, acquired wealth.”
Yes (naturally) - 3rd l. units h. from the verb “to be”.
The verb is good: the word is a property.
Live (instead of the second “and” the letter “yat” was previously written, pronounced live) is the imperative mood, the plural of “to live” - “to live in labor, and not vegetate.”
Zelo (transmitted the combination dz = voiced ts) - “zealously, with zeal.”
Earth - “planet Earth and its inhabitants, earthlings.”
And is the conjunction “and”.
Izhe - “those who, they are the same.”
Kako - “like”, “like”. People are “reasonable beings.”
Live well, earth, and like people: live working hard, earthlings, and as befits people.
Think (written with the letter “yat”, pronounced “think”, just like “live”) - imperative mood, plural from “to think, to comprehend with the mind.”
Nash - “our” in the usual meaning.
He is “that one” in the meaning of “single, united”.
Rest (peace) - “the basis (of the universe).” Compare “to rest” - “to be based on...”.
Think about our peace: comprehend our universe. Rtsy (rtsi) - imperative mood: “speak, utter, read aloud.” Compare “speech”. The word is “transmitting knowledge.” Firmly is “confident, convinced.”
Rtsy word is firm - bring knowledge with conviction.
Uk is the basis of knowledge, doctrine. Wed. science, teach, skill, custom.
Fert, f(ъ)рътъ - “fertilizes.” The alphabet recorded the difference between the sounds “p” and “f”, as well as their voiced counterparts “b” and “v”. In the Middle Ages, South Europeans pronounced “f” instead of “ p,” in Rus' they were called fryags precisely because of the peculiarities of speech: this, for example, distinguished the southern Franks from the northern Prussians, the Thracians from the Persians, etc.

Many native Russian words contain this root, for example: morning - “from the Sun” (root ut-from there, there); evening (vek-r) - “the age of Ra, the expiring time of the Sun.” In the sense of “space, Universe”, the Russian “rama” comes from the same root. The word “paradise” means: “many Suns” = “the abode of the gods (God Ra )". The self-name of the gypsies is “rum, roma” - “free”, “God is in me”, “I am the Universe”, hence the Indian Rama. In the sense of “light, luminary, source of light”: the cry “hurray!” means “towards the Sun!”, bright - “like sunlight”, “rainbow”, etc. In the ABC, in all likelihood, the word “Ър(а)” is in the genitive case with the meaning of “Existing”.
