This is about Heaven and Yarilo-Sun. I wonder how fairy-tale remakes would portray the red Kolobok? Did you mix blush into the dough?

Let's take the description of the serpent Gorynych.

The image of a snake means round and long, like a snake, gorynych - because it is as tall as a mountain.
In this case, an explicit description tornado. The Serpent Gorynych can be either three-headed (three funnels) or nine-headed.

Other ancient Russian fairy tales that describe the appearance of a snake say that it can fly, its wings are fiery. clawed feet and a long tail with a point - a favorite detail of popular prints in fairy tales, as a rule, is absent. A constant feature of the serpent is its connection with fire: “A strong storm arose, thunder rumbles, the earth trembles, the dense forest bows down: a three-headed serpent flies,” “A fierce serpent flies at him, scorches with fire, threatens with death,” “Then the serpent emitted from itself the flame of fire wants to burn the prince.”

This snake is recognized as the Kundalini serpent - the spiritual power of man. His constant threat: “I will burn your kingdom (i.e., body) with fire and scatter it with ashes.”

In Russians folk tales The serpent is the guardian of the border to the Kingdom of Heaven. The border itself is described as a fiery river called Smorodinka (“mor” - death, “one” - one; that is, one death). A bridge called “viburnum” leads across it (in Sanskrit “kali” - ill-fated), that is, only those whose eggchore (“seed of the devil” - a drop of Causal Matter) has fully manifested themselves can step on this border. The one who kills the snake (yaytsekhore), that is, defeats all his animal elements, will be able to cross the bridge.

When meeting with the serpent, the hero faces the danger of sleep, falling asleep, that is, obsession - trouble: “The prince began to walk along the bridge, tapping with a cane (the main ascending channel of the Kundalini force, running along the center of the human spine), a jug popped up (mystical abilities that manifest themselves as they rise Kundalini) and began to dance in front of him; he stared at it (became carried away by his mystical abilities) and fell into a deep sleep (i.e., “fell into delusion”). An unprepared person falls asleep, a true hero never: “The storm - the hero didn’t give a damn (was not carried away by these abilities), coughed up (brought them into “hara”, balanced) him and broke him into small parts. The serpent is immortal and invincible for the uninitiated, it can only be destroyed by a certain hero: the eggchore can only be defeated by the one in whom it is located - “In the whole world there is no other rival for me except Ivan Tsarevich, and he is still young, even the raven of his bones is here won’t bring it.”

The serpent never tries to kill the hero with weapons, paws, or teeth - he tries to drive the hero into the ground (i.e. into sin) and thus destroy him: “The miracle of Yudo began to overcome him, drove him knee-deep into the damp earth.” In the second battle, he was “hammered waist-deep into damp earth,” that is, with each fight, the dirt (damp earth) of the egg chore begins to appear in the person to an increasing extent. The snake can only be destroyed by cutting off all its heads, that is, by defeating one’s senses. But these heads have a wonderful property - they grow again, that is, the power of feelings increases with their satisfaction: “I cut off nine heads of the miracle juda; Miracle Yudo picked them up, struck them with a fiery finger - the heads grew back.” Only after the fiery finger (lust) is cut off does the hero manage to cut off all the heads.

Knowing the addiction spiritual development from mastering our senses, our ancestors gave us the following instruction:

Where feelings dominate, there is lust,
And where there is lust, there is anger, blindness,
And where is the blindness - the fading of the mind,
Where the mind fades, knowledge perishes,
Where knowledge perishes, let everyone know -
There a human child perishes in the darkness!
And the one who has achieved power over feelings,
Trampled disgust, knows no passions,
Who subjugated them forever to his will -
Achieved enlightenment, freed from pain,
And since then his heart has been immaculate,
And his mind is firmly established.

The third battle is the most terrible. Special condition last fight is that only the hero’s wonderful assistant, his spiritual body, can kill the snake: “The heroic horse rushed into the slaughter and began to gnaw the snake with its teeth and trample with its hooves. ...The stallions came running and kicked the snake out of the saddle. ...The animals rushed at him and tore him to shreds.” “One horse reared up and threw the snake on its shoulders, and the other hit its side with its hooves, the snake fell, and the horses pressed the snake with their feet. Here are the horses!” The battle, of course, ends in victory for the hero. But after the battle, one more thing needs to be done: the snake needs to be completely destroyed, that is, it is necessary to transform human bodies into the Light body (body of Light) - pure virtue: “And the body rolled into the fiery river”; “He picked up all the parts, burned them, and scattered the ashes across the field”; “He lit a fire, burned the snake to ashes and sent it to the wind.”

“In this way, fairy tales prepare children for the search for the Kingdom of Heaven - for achieving complete perfection through acquiring the body of Light.

Remember, Baba Yaga, either a bone or a golden leg. But originally there was Baba Yoga. And it was not for nothing that she got along with Leshiy, the owner of the forest, where her house stood surrounded by a high meadow, hung with skulls. But the skulls were of animals, because they retain the strength and wisdom of their species, creating a protective circle. Again the hut was on chicken legs from which she flew out on aircraft in one evil spirits. But kuryi means smoke, that is, the house stood above the ground and could turn wherever you wanted. Kurile Islands- Do they raise smoking chickens there? Nothing like that! And one more thing: Whoever passes through the smoke will end up in another world. Very clear description of stargate. Haze is a reflection of a changed space. Small on the outside - immense on the inside - this speaks of a changed matrix of perception.

Remember Pushkin - the mermaid was sitting on the branches, and her hair was brown. She was a bird maiden - wise and not tailed.

And now how do they write? Anderson wrote about green-haired maidens, daughters of the merman, and they had nothing to do with mermaids. In Rus' they were called Mavkas.

Do you remember the fairy tale about Snow Maiden? Why are her parents never mentioned in modern versions? So why did she melt?

It is not easy to understand the Ancient Wisdom in its original interpretation, because it must be perceived with the heart, the Soul. This is well said in the fairy tale about the hen Ryaba. She laid a golden egg, which Grandfather beat but didn’t break, Grandmother Biba didn’t break, but the mouse ran, waved its tail, the egg fell and broke. Here the golden egg bears the image of the hidden Ancestral Wisdom, which you cannot take in a swoop, no matter how hard you hit. At the same time, by accidentally touching it, this system can be destroyed, broken into fragments, destroying its integrity.
Therefore, if people have not reached the level that would allow them to understand the innermost, it is enough for them to start simple information in the form of an ordinary egg, because a golden one can blow the roof off.

Fairy tale “Tiny - Khavrocheska”. The girl was left an orphan, but she had a favorite cow. And when the girl needed something, she would get into the cow’s left ear, get out of the right ear, and get what she needed. It would seem like this big girl Can't climb cow ears. But this cow - the Heavenly Cow Zimun or the Little Dipper, as it is also called - is a rectangle and is a cow's ear, and then there is Khara, Dara, where the Kharians, Daariyans come from. But in a fairy tale they won’t write: So the girl passed through the gates of Interworld, aimed at this cow’s ear, and received everything she needed. And mind you, she asked everything from her mother. Mom is like the image of the cow Zimun, the ancestral home of the Ancestors, and Ingard is also not far away. And the girl went through her ear to Dazhdbog of the Sun, to the Land of Ingard, communicated with the Ancestors, and came out through a completely different ear, according to the movement of the stars, in a different place, and made her way home again. That is, she constantly communicated with her Ancestors. At the entrance, one palace of the Svarog circle was used, and after visiting from another palace, she descended to Midgard through another palace. And her stepmother has three daughters: one-eyed, two-eyed and three-eyed, whom she sent to spy on the girl. And the girl, before leaving, sang and lulled herself to sleep: Sleep, little eye. The first sister fell asleep. The stepmother sent her second daughter to keep an eye on the girl. Girl again: Sleep little eye, sleep the other one. This sister also fell asleep. And only the third managed to spy on the girl, because she sang to her: Sleep the little eye, sleep the other, but did not take into account the third eye, which is between the eyebrows, energy vision. As a result, the cow was slaughtered, but the girl did not eat the meat, but collected all the bones, buried them, and grew up in one version of the fairy tale - an apple tree, in another - a birch tree.

And the birch tree is also an image of the family: when a girl was born, they planted a birch tree; when a boy was born, they planted an oak tree. And the children, playing, grew up between the trees, and received strength from these trees. Therefore, let’s say, if a son was wounded in a military campaign, the parents, judging by the condition of the tree – it was drying up, saw that their son was in trouble. And the parents began to care for this tree, feed it, treat it, and as a result, the tree blossomed and the son got better. The daughters did the same with the birch tree.

An ancient fairy tale, when a young man goes to free his bride from Kashchei. A wolf helps him, a bear, who rolled up a tree with a chest, with a safe where Kashchei’s death was kept, a falcon or someone else: after all, when the young man was hungry, he wanted to shoot a bird or an animal, and they turned to him: Don’t touch me, I I'll still be useful to you. Even the pike brought an egg where the needle was kept, and on the tip of that needle was the death of the kashchei. Different variants interpretations. Note that no matter how the Kashchei boasted, they were always defeated. Why? Because our Ancestors clearly defined that Kashchei is a demon and he is always mortal: a mortal demon. But because Previously, they wrote everything together, but over time they began to perceive it as meaning - without mortal. And only then Mr. Lunacharsky started the devilry: he actually introduced the word immortal. Although in the Russian language there were the concepts of “demon mortal”, which means: a demon who will die sooner or later, and “without mortal”, which means eternal. That's the difference.

And note, in any fairy tale, good always wins, and any action always has a complete figurative form. Please note that Kashchei always wore certain armor, that is, protective robes. Evil people have always loved to protect themselves. And a simple weapon, as in fairy tales: even a red-hot arrow does not take it, i.e. tempered, and the sword is tempered on herbs, it does not cut it, but only what kind of sword takes it? Kladinec. How was the Kladinets sword different from a tempered sword? And the fact that it’s not just a sword, but it’s powerful information weapon, Why? But because there was a rune tie running along the sword, i.e. certain spells were cast along the blade. And sometimes even on the handle. And the rune knit also created a kind of special energy structure - the force around the sword. Those. Kladinets is a weapon with a kind of magical effect, or, as they would say, a magic sword. And he still broke through any negative energy protection. Because there is nothing more powerful than Slavic runes.

Very interesting, from an esoteric point of view, is the fabulous Instruction-Lesson, which accompanies more than one Russian folk tale.

Kolobok, ruddy side

The gingerbread man can successfully play the role of a Maslenitsa symbol for kids. After all, its main feature is that it is round. Like Sunny. No wonder there was a riddle among the people:

Blue scarf,
Red bun
Rolling on a scarf
Smiles at people.

V. Dahl's dictionary tells us that in the old days they used the word “kolob”. Any ball was called a kolob - a snow kolob, a cast iron kolob, a clay kolob, a cheese kolob, a dough kolob. The word “kolob” was also used to name a small round loaf of bread. Well, a very small loaf of bread was called a “kolobok”.
Considering that the fabulous Kolobok was “spun in butter,” then it would serve as a perfect treat during Shrovetide week.

New adventures of Kolobok

Leading:

Once upon a time they lived at the edge of the forest
Grandfather and Baba, don’t worry,
They baked pies and pancakes.
And so their days went by.
But one day Grandfather said:

You, old woman, for lunch
I would bake a Kolobok,
Kolobok is a ruddy side.

Woman:

Yes indeed, Grandfather, I’ll go
By the barn's droppings,
I’ll put out the dough,
I won't make you wait.

Leading:

Grandfather didn’t have time to go into the forest
Yes, chop some wood,
Look, Kolobok is ready -
Better than any pies!

Woman:

What a glorious Kolobok!
Lie down a little longer
On an embroidered towel...
There's Grandfather knocking on the door.
You did great!

Leading:

Kolobok became proud.

Kolobok:

I'm worried about fate.
I deserve a better share.
What a joy if Grandfather
Will you eat me here for lunch?
It is unlikely that he will appreciate me...
I’d rather swing in the canopy
Yes, I’ll walk around the world -
I will find out my worth.

Leading:

Kolobok(sings):

I am a ruddy Kolobok!
Sweeter even than pie
Better than shortbread, cheesecake
And, of course, drying is better.
Go around the whole world,
But there is no one tastier than me.

Hare:

Oh, hi! Who are you, my friend?

Kolobok:

I am a ruddy Kolobok.

Hare:

Were you singing about something just now?

Kolobok(important):

Well, I'll repeat it for you.
I am a ruddy Kolobok,
Sweeter even than pie
Better than shortbread, cheesecake
And, of course, drying is better.
Go around the whole world.
But no one tastes better than me!

The hare looks at Kolobok from all sides and sniffs him.

Hare:

Yes, you seem cute.
And the singer is so great.
And the filling (sniffs) Of what?

Kolobok:

Yes, from one test.

Hare (disappointed):

Kolobok (offended and proud):

I won't be lost without you.
I'll swing along the path,
Look, I'll be useful to someone.

He runs and sings his song.

Kolobok:

I am a ruddy Kolobok,
Sweeter even than pie...

Wolf:

Come on, wait a minute, singer!
Your journey is over.
What were you singing about now?

Kolobok:

I will repeat for you:
I am a ruddy Kolobok,
Sweeter even than pie
Better than shortbread, cheesecake
And, of course, drying is better.
Go around the whole world,
But there is no one tastier than me.

The wolf looks at Kolobok and sniffs him.

Wolf:

You sing the song perfectly.
He is rosy-cheeked and handsome.
Tell me the secret quickly:
What kind of filling are you using?

Kolobok:

What's the secret here?!
There is no filling.

Wolf (disappointed):

No? Completely empty?
I'm stuffed with meat
I love koloboks.
Well, what are you worth? Run
Yes, it’s time for me too. For dinner
I don't need you, Kolobok.
(Runs away.)

Kolobok:

Couldn't rate me
The Wolf deserves the same credit.
I'd rather keep on swinging
Look, I'll be useful to someone.

“Rolling”, sings a song.

Bear (out of breath):

Wait, I won't get away!
Ugh, tired. Don't be a coward!
Better sing me a song
Tell me who you are.

Kolobok sang his song.

Kolobok:

I am a ruddy Kolobok,
Sweeter even than pie
Better than shortbread, cheesecake
And, of course, drying is better.
Go around the whole world,
But no one tastes better than me!

Bear:

You sing the song perfectly.
And you yourself are cute.
Tell me your secret:
What kind of filling are you with?!
And then I'll eat you...

Kolobok:

I have no filling at all.

Bear (dreamily):

It's a pity! And I love raspberries
Or honey filling.
I'll look for another dinner,
I don't need you, Kolobok.
(Leaves.)

Kolobok:

Go away, I won't make you sad
I'll look for another one.
He will want to eat me.
You know, there is such a connoisseur.

Leading:

Kolobok rolled
Kolobok is a ruddy side.
Now the sun is setting.
A fox came out of the forest.
He sees Kolobok rolling.

Fox(asks):

Sing to me, my friend,
I'll listen to your song
And then I’ll take it and eat it.

Leading:

The singer climbed onto the stump,
I tried so hard for the Fox!

Kolobok:

I am a ruddy Kolobok,
Sweeter even than pie
Better than shortbread, cheesecake
And, of course, drying is better.
Go around the whole world,
But there is no one tastier than me.

Fox:

How nice it is to listen to you!
And it’s even more enjoyable to eat.
And you yourself are like a picture,
What's your filling?
(Dreamily.)
From chicken giblets
Or nimble cockerels?

Kolobok:

Without filling, I’m simple...

Fox:

So why are you like this to me?
I shouldn't have chatted with you,
I just lost time.
Goodbye, my friend.
(Leaves.)

Leading:

Our Kolobok is depressed.

Kolobok:

Here in the forest I will disappear
Or I'll dry up, unfortunately.
The sun is setting...
Maybe we should return to Grandma?
After all, she baked, tried,
She was proud of me and admired me.
Yes, and Grandfather chopped wood,
I walked to the river by water.
Even though I'm made of simple dough,
Still, he will appreciate the work of another
The one who worked gloriously himself.

Leading:

The bun rolled
On the parent's threshold.
So Kolobok returned.
The fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it,
A lesson to good fellows.
