In Slavic mythology, the commandment of GOD SVAROG sounds: "Do not cut your hair, light brown, different hair, but with gray hair, for you will not comprehend the WISDOM of God and you will lose your health."
The Slavs compared the hair with the threads of the goddess Makosh, who ruled the fate of a person. It is not for nothing that in many legends the Slavs compared hair either with the rays of the sun, or with strong ears of wheat.
In such personifications, the belief was displayed that the power of mother earth and father-sun flows through the hair, the power of the gods and ancestors (the power of the clan), capable of protecting from evil and keeping life and energy in the body. Our ancestors believed that hair carries great power to the human body, and the wisdom of the great gods to the head.
This is what served as the main reason that in ancient times the Slavs practically did not cut their hair.
Hair performs several very important functions for humans:
First, the hair is a kind of "antennae" that receive cosmic energy. Hair is indeed a conductor of cosmic energy, but for this their length must be at least 7 cm.
Secondly, the hair acts as a battery. They store energy. A person's personal strength. A person with long hair has a better intuition. The average hair length for a woman is up to the buttocks. A normal one, capable of providing her with the necessary supply of energy - up to her knees.
Thirdly, hair keeps a person's memory. Therefore, often a person who has experienced a very great grief is advised to get a haircut. And for the same reason, in no case should you cut the hair of a child, especially a baby.

At present, the very meaning of the concept of “hair - connection with the Gods” has been lost. It is obvious that the child receives some information from the Gods through the growing hair, something is put into him at the subconscious level, and it is impossible to cut the hair because of the fear of getting the child separated from the Gods.
In babies up to about a year old, thin, soft, almost vellus hairs, which were formed in the womb, continue to grow, and only over time they are gradually replaced by "adult" hair.
It is impossible to deprive children of the vitality given by Nature and the Guardian power that the Patron Gods and Parents give.
Today, parents do not particularly believe in Gods, and therefore "a child separated from the Gods" for the majority is an empty phrase.
Well, it develops poorly, well, spiteful, well, crybaby, well, cruel … But you never know why!
To associate this with hair cutting in six months, or even at 3 months, somehow does not come to mind. And what are the superstitions in our time?
We have new times and new signs now.
A modern sign says that after a haircut, a baby will grow thick, beautiful hair, and otherwise he will remain with a thin infant fluff.
Moreover, this version has a huge number of supporters.
Alas, they will have to disappoint: the number of hair follicles and hair structure are laid down from birth, and a haircut will not help make a thin ponytail with a lush mane, if it is not programmed in the genes.
And shaving your head can aggravate the situation, as there is a risk of damaging the hair follicles. Earlier, during the times of false values of Christianity, the head was shaved mainly for hygienic purposes in order to reduce the "population" of lice that spread the infection.
The longer a person's hair is, the more spiritual strength he receives, for this strength nourishes all his bodies and shells. Today we cut our children before they even speak, and therefore the body develops, but not the mind and not spirituality.
If a child's hair is cut before 1 year old, the development of his speech is suspended. Parents can hardly even think about not cutting the hair of a child up to three years old, but in the Family of magicians and priests, even the ends of the hair were not cut until 12 years old, so as not to cut the mind. For during this period - up to 12 years old, the child comprehends Life, the Laws of the Family and the Universe.
Even just cutting your hair means changing your life, it was well known in the old days. The first cut off curl of the first child (or all the first cut off hair) was kept sometimes until adulthood, and sometimes for the whole life in case of a serious (mortal) illness of one of the family members.
If such a misfortune came to the house, the curl was dipped into a canvas bag, put, like an amulet, on the neck of a sick person. The whole family stood around him and turned to the Gods. And the disease receded.
If a person had a fateful choice, he (at any age) took out his first cut hair and fingered it with his hands.
And the right decision came. And most importantly, your first hair cut will still remember your mother's birthplace. They were born and began to grow in the mother's womb. And therefore they are a talisman for life.
Is it difficult for you? Are you afraid of something? Do you have a difficult road ahead? Get out your first cut hair, go through it with your fingers …
Rod will stand up for you and save you in any dangerous situations.
According to ancient traditions, it was strictly forbidden to cut a haircut for pregnant women, since, having injured the channel of vitality - hair, there was a risk of harming the baby in the womb.
Pregnant women did not cut their hair before giving birth, so as not to accidentally take away the strength from themselves and the baby, and in general not to invade the fragile soul.
The old men gathered their hair, which after combing remained on the comb, filled it with a pillow, which was then placed under their head in a coffin. The hair of a strong-willed man was woven into a shepherd's whip.
Any cattle listened to such a whip, and a person could, three times hitting the ground with the whip, direct the herd along any road.
The gray hair from the head of an elder by blood (grandmothers, grandfathers, great-grandmothers) was carefully kept and worn on the chest. Such hair is a barrier to all enemies, and help to a person in all matters.
The priests believe that hair is the source of our cosmic power, and everything that happens to it changes us.
Even brushing your hair every day is a magical rite.
We must do this thoughtfully, imagining the hair to be strong and healthy - this is how it will be, because it is sensitive to the thoughts of the owner. You only need to comb your hair with your comb, so as not to take on other people's troubles and illnesses.
And by the way, in the old days there were beliefs that from frequent combing the hair, and the person himself, deteriorates. Girls in Russia were braided in braids from baths to baths - once a week.
After cutting and combing, the hair must not be thrown away. There are legends among the people about a bird that finds hair, makes a nest, and a person will have a headache until the bird hatches offspring and the chicks fly out of the nest.
And it was also believed that the unclean picks up the thrown hair, and weaves nets against the human soul. Previously, they simply got rid of these misfortunes - they burned their hair in the stove. Knowledgeable people also say that cut hair is best thrown into running water, even into the sewer.
And if you need to get rid of long cropped hair, for example from a braid or beard, it is recommended to burn them, and throw the ash into the water.
But there are few people who honor tradition today. There are many more who distort traditions. Hence the calls to cut the hair of a child when he is 1 year old, to burn cut baby hair.
Or not to keep the first cut hair, supposedly keeping it makes a person weak-willed or dependent.
There is even a recommendation to bury the first cut hair in the ground. In general, there are many notions. Different and different.
From pagan times, according to tradition, the first hairs of the baby are cut.
The meaning of this rite is to take the child under the invisible protection of the whole family. The trimmed locks were buried under a tree: from the boy's head under a pear tree, so that it grows curly and strong, and girls - under a willow, so that the braid grows long and obedient itself …
Hair used to be called braids, because it is a connection with space. In general, it is an accumulator of energy, both female and male. It was not for nothing that women used to wear braids, and men were bearded and wore elongated haircuts. Witches (the Witch, who does not know, a knowing mother, not an old evil grandmother) have always been shaggy, because they accumulated their strength in their hair. There was not a single witch with a haircut, and there are no modern healers and psychics either.
Hair is an indicator of your physical and mental health.
If you are sick, hair does not fit well and gets dirty quickly.
It has been scientifically proven that hair carries information about a person's DNA, so even by a single hair, forensic scientists can identify the identity of a criminal. And damage can be done through the hair, since they are closely related to the human psyche.
According to Ayurveda, the length of a woman's hair should be slightly below the anahata heart chakra (energy of Love) - to the middle of the shoulder blades, then a woman will be in harmony with herself, with her emotions. But even if you want a haircut, the main thing is to create a harmonious look.
Remember that sometimes a change of image is the first step to change, and sometimes it is a successful completion of inner work on yourself.
It was impossible to wear loose hair, because this is the first thing that gathered negative information from space (therefore it is undesirable to leave the house with loose hair, at home it is quite possible).
In Russia, long braids were worn for a reason - after all, the braid was located strictly along the spine, being a powerful talisman (now we know that the main chakras are located along the spine). Any WEAVING protected from evil and dark forces.
COVERING THE HEAD for women in the temple and in other places of power is necessary to weaken the sensitivity to information from the Universe.
The woman becomes less strong than she could be without covering her head. In contrast, men need more strength to rule the world.
They do not perceive information from space in its pure form, but perceive it already processed in accordance with the religious worldview.
THOSE WHO'S SHAVED ARE EASIER TO GOVERN
This is how the connection with ancestors and free-thinking is broken, awareness is clouded.
Hair carries a special magical energy, using which you can gain strength, fulfill a desire or even change your destiny. In the magical craft of hair, it occupies a fairly significant and significant position. There is the concept of "volta", that is, some part of a person that will not lose contact with him, even being distant (or separated) from its owner.
According to esotericists and magicians, hair is in second place in terms of the strength and effectiveness of magical effects after human blood.
By means of sludge magic, healers removed spoilage and allowed illnesses, dried loved ones and even unraveled the so-called karmic knots.
In particular, Siberian sorcerers had the practice of removing the ancestral curse.
For the ceremony, strands of hair were taken from three generations of the same family.
At the same time, her senior representative was supposed to be dying.
When he died, the strands were woven into a small pigtail, which was then cut into small pieces. Then they were mixed with earth and scattered in the wind.
An experienced magician is able to perform various rituals using the client's hair. Such magic is not necessarily detrimental, as some think. By acting through the hair, a person can be programmed to heal or protect against potential dangers.
Hair works both as a conductor and as an accumulator. Through them there is an opportunity to interact with space, draw energy and then hold the accumulated in oneself for a certain time.
For a long time, different peoples had beliefs that hair is one of the places where the vital force of a person is concentrated.
In ancient times, unmarried women wore their hair loose and long.
The ancient Slavs believed that loose hair gives their owner magical, witchcraft and even witchcraft power.
It is not for nothing that the belief has survived to this day that when a girl wants to attract a man she likes, she needs to loosen her braid with thoughts of him and then appear to the potential groom in all her natural beauty. At the same time, if it was necessary to "catch" his attention, the girl gently twisted a curl on her finger, as if tying the man's thoughts to her consciousness and to herself. In ancient times, only a witch, the keeper of strength, was allowed to walk with long flowing hair.
In the loose hair of the natural sorceress, a connection with the forces of earth and space was read.
In Russia, married women covered their heads with headscarves. It is possible that this was done in order not to harm him with his magical power when entering someone else's house.
Remember how many legends and fairy tales are associated with the power that was stored in the hero's hair.
By the way, a similar theme is present even in the biblical legend of Samson.
In the Bible, SAMSON wore long hair, which had his strength until it was cut off by his insidious lover, Delilah. She cut his seven braids.
Samson: “The razor did not touch my head. If you cut me off, then my strength will depart from me. Enemies defeated him, made him a slave and chained him, but in their carelessness they did not notice how Samson's hair grew back.
And then the hero decided to take cruel revenge on those who had blinded him - he brought down the vaults of the building, under which the enemies were feasting.
But keep in mind: on the one hand, power goes to us through the hair, but at the same time we give energy, as if dissolving it through the hair.
If you are confused in your own thoughts or ideas, you cannot put them in order, you just need to comb it and it will instantly clear up in your head. And if you need to do some serious business at work, solve a difficult problem, but you just can't concentrate, gather your hair in a tight ponytail at the back of your head - and you will feel that you will immediately become ready for any labor feats.
So, for example, the Frankish kings went uncut from childhood, a haircut was tantamount to giving up the right to the throne. When the treacherous brothers Chlothar and Childebert harassed the kingdom of their deceased brother Chlodomer, they cunningly lured two young nephews, the sons of Chlodomer, to themselves. Then they sent to Paris to Queen Clotilde, the grandmother of the children, a messenger with scissors and a drawn sword.
The messenger presented the queen with scissors and a sword and put her before a choice: either to cut the children off and they will live, or death awaits them.
The proud queen replied that if her grandchildren were not destined to wear the crown, she would rather see them dead but not trimmed. So the children fell at the hands of their cruel uncle Chlothar.
And the Indians believed that by cutting off the scalp with HAIR from the enemy, access to the possibility of reincarnation is closed, that is, killing him not only in this incarnation, but also in the next, death for centuries.
Young ancient German warriors did not cut their hair and beards until they killed the first enemy.
When Torajis cut a child's hair to remove parasites, a few curls are left on the crown of the head, serving as a refuge for one of the child's souls. Otherwise, the soul would have lost its home and the child would have been ill.
It was customary among the inhabitants of the Marquesas Islands to leave one long strand of hair (which they leave to curl or tie in a knot), in which the soul could "hide".
They wear such a hairstyle only in those cases when they made a solemn oath, for example, to avenge the death of one of their close relatives, etc. In such cases, this strand is not cut until the promise is fulfilled. In the past, the inhabitants of the Marquesas had a particular fear of witchcraft.
The sorcerer picked up a hair, spit, or anything left over from the person he wanted to hurt, wrapped it all in a green leaf and put the bundle in a bag tied with an intricate knot.
He buried the bundle in compliance with certain rituals, after which his victim died from a debilitating illness that lasted 20 days. The life of such a person could be saved by finding and digging up nails, hair, etc., since after that the magic remedy lost its power.
In ancient Egypt, children were also left with the so-called "baby curl" - a long strand on the temple, which was cut when the child came of age.
Magicians, sorcerers, and also priests do not cut their hair, as long hair is a conductor of subtle energies.
There is a hypothesis that hair has its own memory.
That is why, for example, there is a student omen that prohibits cutting a hair before the exam: this is a failure. Otherwise, all knowledge will be "cut off" along with the hair, and then you will have to learn everything again or wait until the old head of hair grows back.
When taking monastic ordination in Orthodoxy, as well as at baptism, a lock of hair is symbolically cut off.
Shaving the pilgrims' heads to Mecca is evidence of the offering of hair as a sacrifice to Allah.
By the way, in Japan, a shaved head is a symbol of the final decision.
The Manchus, Chinese, Golds, Ainu (front part of the head), Chukchi (only the top of the head) sacrificed hair to God.
Having joined the Buddhist monastic community, he renounced everything, including hair.
The lack of hair, as experiments have shown, helps a person not to get sick and hide information about himself!
Is this not the secret of the shaved heads of Buddhist monks and ancient warriors? Lack of illness during the campaign and less likelihood of injury in battle, as well as a certain guarantee of "closeness" from the enemy magician trying to penetrate your thoughts.
In the ancient world, cutting hair served, on the contrary, as a sign of slavery, that is, acquiring a new status.
The braid among men was an attribute of the pre-Muslim Turks. She also adorned the heads of the Chinese. They were forced to wear a braid as a sign of submission to the Manchu emperor. That is why in 1895 the Chinese revolutionary Sun Yat-sen in the Japanese port of Kobe cut his scythe as a sign of insubordination.
History shows that when in 1902 the founder of Chinese modern literature, Lu Xin, came to Japan and entered the university there, he also cut off the braid, which he considered a symbol of enslavement, which would have cost him his life in his homeland. A small braid - a shikkha - is on the head of modern Hare Krishnaites, "oseledets" - previously a distinctive feature of the Zaporozhye Cossacks.
In Central Asia, it is customary for girls to braid forty braids, and then tie gold coins and pearls to them as amulets.
In other regions, tiaras, wreaths, metal rings, laces, etc. were attached to the hair.
Tibetan women braid their hair in as many as one hundred and eight braids.
Among the Maasai, members of the clan, which is credited with the ability to cause rain, are not allowed to pluck their beards, because, according to local superstition, this would entail the loss of this ability.
The same custom (and for the same reason) is observed by the leader and sorcerers of the Masai: as soon as they pluck out their beards, they would lose their supernatural abilities.
Karobataki are very afraid to scare away the child's soul: when cutting, they always leave an uncut bun of hair, in which the soul can hide from the scissors. Usually this curl is not trimmed throughout life, or at least until maturity.
Hair cutting rituals. When the need to trim hair does arise, steps are taken to minimize the risk associated with this procedure.
The chief of the Namosi tribe on the Fiji island, faced with the need to cut his hair, always ate a man out of caution.
“The obligation to supply the sacrifice lay with a particular clan; at the solemn council, its members made a decision to ward off attack from the leader, and arranged a sacrificial feast."
Maiden braid
Great importance is attached to the female braid. The girl herself was the embodiment of the powers of the Mother Goddess, and from an early age her hair was gathered in a braid for a reason. The braid, classically braided from three torches (three strands), was a symbolic display of the universe, three worlds - Yavi (the explicit world), Navi (a sweat-outside world, sometimes identified as an underground one), Rule (the divine world of the higher law).
Initially, a large braid was plaited, which flowed along the back, and through it divine forces poured into the girl, "raised" and strengthened her body and spirit. And when the girl got married and gave birth to a child, a single braid was divided in two. Two braids were a symbol of the fact that now a young mother needs to draw strength not only for herself, but also for her child.
It was customary to decorate the braids with ropes or ribbons - this action had a magical design. Weaving a ribbon of a certain color into the hair, they enhanced the magical power of a woman's braid in the desired direction.
The most popular was the red ribbon. First of all, this color is strongly associated with something passionate and loving.
But despite this, the main idea of such a tape is not romantic, but protective: red protects against the attack of evil forces.
Other ribbons could also be woven, for example green - a color strongly associated with harmonious interaction with the forces of mother nature.
Does a girl always wear a scythe?
Naturally, we had to unweave it, as if releasing our forces at will.
Unweaving braids was often given even more importance than braiding. This process was unhurried, gentle with respect to the hair.
In female magic, unweaving a braid often begins an action of a magical nature (for example, fortune-telling).
Hair cutting from antiquity to the present day
As already mentioned, the Slavs tried to be very careful with their own hair.
If you already had to cut off a part, then it was at the level of a serious rite performed extremely carefully, because then everyone knew: if he somehow cuts off even a strand, then you can accidentally cut off all your strength.
By the way, when in the 17th century Peter I tried to introduce a forced cutting of the beard and hair of men, many resisted, as they were afraid that they would pay with strength and health for such acts.
Didn't our ancestors cut their hair at all?
No, in fact, they were periodically pruned, but it was supposed to do this only when the child reached a certain age - most often the indication is 16 years old. The hair was not cut much, usually a distance of the length of the nail. A haircut was made to make them grow even better.
It was possible to carry out the procedure only at the very beginning of the growth of the young month and certainly not during the decreasing period, and even more so not at the full moon, so as not to spoil your hair, and even worse - your health.
In ancient times, it was a strict taboo to just throw away trimmed or even fallen individual hairs - so that no one took advantage of it with malicious intent.
Therefore, they were sometimes put in a separate bag and hidden, sometimes under a large stone or tree with a positive potential (for example, under an apple tree, mountain ash): but more often they were burned in order to accurately prevent possible abuse.
At the present time, in a magical sense, a haircut is used to get rid of the burden of difficult memories, as well as ailments, symbolically throwing them away along with their obsolete ends of the hair. Just in the process, you need to imagine how negative energy and heaviness are cut off and disappear. Try it and you will notice how you will feel better almost immediately.
The question arises: how to make the cut hair useless for use in magic?
In fact, this question is relevant both for the representatives of the magical craft themselves, and for ordinary people, because in life anything can happen and you want to play it safe. To avoid danger, you need to perform a simple ritual.
So that no one can harm
Place 3 white triangle-shaped candles on the table in front of you. You will also need 3 of your hairs - one for each candle (you will burn them in the flame). Light one candle, light the first hair on it and say, looking at the flame, these words:
“Let what is not in my body now, but not in my body! My lost hair no longer has a connection with me! No one can harm me, I am protected from any evil!"
Repeat the action alternately with the remaining two candles and two hairs. When done, say the following magic words three times:
“Let what is not on my body have no power over my body! Let it be so!"
As you can see, the ritual is simple, but this does not detract from its magical power and effectiveness. It will help you feel safe.
The magic of mother and child
Let's talk about the magic of hair in the aspect of the mother-child bond.
The tradition has survived to this day to cut off part of the first baby's hair and keep it throughout life. This action is nothing more than establishing a stronger bond between the mother and her child.
On the one hand, there are positive aspects to this.
For example, in a difficult life situation, a mother can support a child by sending a signal through her hair to wish for good and well-being.
But there is another side to this. With the hair of her child, the mother is able to change his fate. This influence can be attributed in strength to the category of manipulative magic. The danger is that if, for some reason, the relationship between mother and child goes the wrong way and she wishes her offspring evil and suffering, this can have fatal consequences. So I want to warn all women to remember the power and authority of the mother's word, especially if they have a lock of their child's hair.
There is also a magical feedback
Mom can help the child at the beginning of his life with her own hair.
According to legend, if a child was born very weak and frail, then the mother should cut off part of her hair, spread it in a circle around the baby (only at a safe distance, of course) and burn it with the words:
“Evil forces, back down! Good forces, protect my child and endow with health! My maternal will, done!"
Hair Knot Magic
Through your hair, you can adjust the channel of recharge from certain places of power or strengthen the connection with the life-giving energy of the earth.
To do this, several hairs can be tied on a tree with a positive charge. In ancient times, girls who wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible or just quickly improve their health, knitted hair on a fruitful tree.
One of the sacred trees, the apple tree, is well suited for such purposes.
In the process of tying a hair, you need to mentally or aloud ask the tree to help you with its strength. Through this energy connection, an additional charge of energy is able to flow into you. You can also, by tying your hair, turn to a tree for help in doing what you want.
Magic for family peace
This magic was performed so that friendship and mutual understanding reigned in the house between all members of the family.
It is necessary to cut off some hair from each household, tie it into a leaf taken from a tree, or into a piece of white silk.
The bundle is tied with the hair of the mother, the main woman in the family.
Alternatively, it can be tied seven times with white or red silk thread. This package should be buried under an oak tree during the waxing moon with the words:
“In a good way! To the world! To your health!"
As you grow your hair, tie it back and tie it so that the ribbon or cloth you are tying falls down to your shoulder blades, prolonging the hair and reestablishing the connection with the Anahata chakra.
One of the best hairstyles is the braided braid.
In a braid, hair grows faster and creates an attractive magic ring around the woman.
The straight parting balances the hemispheres of the brain and is classic for a woman.
When you feel nervous, emotionally shattered, part your hair in a straight part and tie it in a bun at the back. This hairstyle instantly harmonizes the movement of energy in your body.
Parting on the side is best done on the right, and combing the bulk of the hair to the left - on the female side.
Smoothly slicked back hair encourages concentration on the desired target. By combing your hair in a certain way, you channel energy towards solving the necessary tasks.
The harvested hair promotes energy storage.
Loose hair - when you need to have a female influence on someone.
Collect your hair before an important event or after a promising acquaintance.
If you decide to have a haircut, you should remember that the person who cuts you changes your biofield.
Therefore, when you come to a hairdresser, choose an energetic and cheerful master, then your life after a haircut will change for the better. The older the hairdresser, the stronger his influence on your life. If you are an independent person, are used to solving your problems yourself and do not like it when something prevents you from realizing them, choose a master either of the same age as you, or younger than you.
When you are chronically unlucky for some unknown reason, it makes sense to choose a very old and famous master, even if the hairstyle made by him will cost you dearly. But after visiting a hairdresser, your life will change dramatically. And if you still correctly calculate the moment of visiting, then it will not only change, but improve.
It is believed that it is better if you are cut by a person of the same sex.
If you want your hair to grow faster after a haircut, you need to do it with a full moon.
If you want your hair to change its properties a little - for example, you are not satisfied that they are tangled, disobedient - you should go to a hairdresser on the waning moon. But remember that after such a haircut, the hair will grow back for a very long time.
On the waning moon, it is also good to have a haircut if you want to strengthen the hair roots and delay their rapid loss.
In addition, when you are going to the hairdresser, clearly understand to yourself what exactly you want to get rid of, and when the master cuts off the ends of your hair, it will not be superfluous to repeat to yourself:
“Like a hair leaves me, even if the old, bad, evil leaves me. It won't hold me on its hair, it doesn't contain evil for me!"
