Magical drawings on the body have been present since ancient people, and all over the world. Modern man only knows that their bodies were painted by the ancient tribes of Africa and South America. But tattooed themselves and the Buddhists and Celts and Slavs. Today the most popular tattoo is the sign of the zodiac. In second place is the subject of the activity:

People of that time carefully chose signs, because any sign on the body changes a person's fate. Some patterns bring good luck, strengthen social ties through which a person receives material benefits. And some images can, on the contrary, deprive a person of everything.

This sign contains the wisdom of the universe, which a mere mortal cannot comprehend. Nevertheless, the power of the universe will help a person, protect him from all the troubles of life.

Pentagram

The pentagram is one of the most mysterious symbols that originated in Mesopotamia 4000 years ago. It represents an image in the form of a five-pointed star. There is an opinion that it is a peculiar scheme of movement of Venus. A pentagram can bring to its owner both positive and negative changes in life. It will depend on how to place the top of the five-pointed star. Today, the pentagram symbolizes leadership, prosperity, excellence, youth, health, spirituality of nature.

The legend of the infinity sign

Magical tattoos and their meaning did not appear by accident. In ancient times, Tibetan monks discovered an image of a self-eating serpent on a rock. They named it Ouroboros. The serpent never managed to eat itself because it was constantly growing. Considering it a good sign, the snake, which took the position of eight, began to put on sacred objects. The sign of eight became a symbol of unity of the beginning with the end.
The depiction of this symbol can also mean that the person seeks to get rid of the restrictions that life and society impose on him. People for whom career comes first, get a tattoo with this sign, laying into it an infinity of opportunities and financial flows. This thoughtform embedded in the tattoo is activated and helps you to achieve heights in your career or your own business. Good for men.

It is possible to change the thoughtform a little and put on this symbol, thinking that the financial independence brings a favorite business, a hobby. For those who are engaged in investments, the sign will bring a good passive income and new opportunities for successful investments.

For people who believe in God, this symbol means the incomprehensibility of God's plan, its perfection, the infinite kingdom of God. For those who believe in the powers of nature, the sign represents its power:

  • gestation,
  • growth,
  • flowering,
  • fruiting,
  • withering,
  • fertilization.

The meaning of magical tattoos is different for each person. For example, introverts - people who love solitude, apply the pattern of the figure eight of infinity. For them, it carries the message that each of us is alone in this world, despite the people around us. We came alone in this world, in loneliness we leave.

Protective and their meaning

The application of magical tattoos is primarily associated with the desire to protect ourselves. Therefore, first of all, let's consider protective symbols and amulets, which came to us from different peoples and cultures.

Our ancestors sought to protect themselves from the evil eye, the dark forces, to obtain the blessing of the gods, their intercession in battle or patronage in life. Time passes, and the desires of mankind do not change much.

Today, the bearers of magical tattoos want the same thing from them: protection, patronage, and good luck in all affairs.

Slavic

The Slavs are a wise people with a rich culture, history and traditions. It is no accident today Slavic tattoos are very popular. Each image is a powerful magical message, so you need to choose it with knowledge.

Runes, ornaments, signs, images of gods - symbolized mostly unity and patronage of higher forces. Only wise men and sorcerers had the right to choose and draw a picture.

Most of the Slavic symbols were divided into male and female. They had a completely different meaning, power and magical purpose. Men wanted primarily strength, luck, endurance, intelligence, victory over enemies, and to keep honor in battle.

Men's signs:

  • Svarog's square;
  • Caroler;
  • Images of gods: Perun, Yarilo, Svarog, Stribog.

Female symbols carried happiness, protection of the family from adversities, protected women in childbirth, gave health and longevity, calmness and prudence.

Women's magical amulets were:

  • Ladinets;
  • Star of Lada;
  • Bereginya.

In addition to purely feminine and masculine symbols, the Slavs accepted to put on the body runes, images of animals, birds and plants. They also protected against evil spirits and evil eye, and attracted good luck. The most famous surviving fern flower protects against the evil eye and spoilage.

Celtic Patterns

Today, Celtic magical patterns are among the most revered in the world. The Celts are a warlike people, fierce to their enemies but honoring the gods. Celtic patterns are not just beautiful and mysterious, they carry a powerful magical impulse.

When applying the Celtic tattoos, you need to draw the symbols very carefully so as not to distort them and not to harm yourself. In order to avoid their distortion and harm yourself, you must draw the symbols very carefully.

Animals and birds can be distinguished in the patterns. Their image also has its own meaning. Celtic patterns contain a powerful protection for their carrier and symbolize the infinity of life.

One of the strongest Celtic amulets is the Celtic cross. It is believed that it bestows wisdom, saves from the influence of the dark forces, and is a sign of Celtic Christianity. Another amulet - trefoil (trexel), has powerful protective forces from evil people, spoilage, the evil eye, brings money and good luck in the endeavors.

Runic amulets

Runes are the ancient writing of the Slavs, Europeans and Scandinavians. Runic signs can be discerned in ancient symbols, amulets. This is no accident, because they themselves carry a huge magical power.

Runes are first and foremost the language of thoughts, magic and spells. The ancient peoples used them for protection against negative influences. In translation from the ancient Scandinavian it means whispering.

Make the right rune can only a professional runologist, who knows all their meanings: both the explicit and the hidden. A misinterpreted symbol will bring misfortune and trouble to the owner of the tattoo.

Mandala symbol

A mandala is a concentric diagram of patterns depicting Buddhist saints. Buddhists consider the mandala a schematic representation of the universe. In Buddhist mythology, this symbol denotes a geometric diagram of the structure of the universe itself. This symbol should not be used by people dealing with occult practices.
If applied to the body, this symbol will take on the meaning of the unity of all living things. The circle inscribed in the square represents integrity. The tattoo can be both monochrome and multicolored. If several colors are used, they should correspond to the design from which the person hopes to receive love, health or material possessions. Therefore, before making such an important decision, it is necessary to calculate and draw an individual mandala, according to your desires.

The multicolored tattoo is quite difficult to perform, because the colors in the mandala must be strictly matched. It is better to spend time looking for a good master, who will not make a mistake in color. It is recommended to choose that tattoo master who specializes in Buddhist symbols.

If the mandala is standard, its background should be red, emerald or gently terracotta. Rarely, but painted white. Along the edges of the circle, images of flowers, fortresses, and gods are painted. Sometimes it can be fires. It all depends on what the customer wishes to express. In shape, the mandala resembles a lotus flower or the Wheel of Peace.

The above symbols are the main magical tattoos and their meaning. Of course, there are many more symbols used by sorcerers, but they are dangerous for the common man. However magicians assert that any drawing can be made magic, the main thing is to put a deep meaning into it.

Oriental and esoteric tattoos

The Eastern tattoos are the separate world in which the person can receive the protection only knowing himself. It combines the knowledge and magic of China, Tibet, India and Japan. Sacred signs, hieroglyphs, plants, mythical and real animals are typical for the oriental tattoos.

But knowing your strengths and weaknesses, you can protect yourself from life's misfortunes, to find the right way out of any situation. It is believed that tattooing protects against disease and illness, unpleasantness, helps to understand their surroundings, to go the right way in life. From the East to us came amulets by the signs of the zodiac and esoteric tattoos.

Choose a tattoo talisman depending on your date of birth - the right position.

Here your amulet will be:

  • Zodiac sign;
  • The symbol of the year of your birth;
  • Flower, tree, stone, the element under which you were born.

How to protect

In order for the amulet to have magical power, you need to choose the drawing carefully and with respect. To do this, it is recommended to consult with esotericists. After application, the symbol binds with the energy of the owner and manifests its properties, which were originally incorporated in it. To get an enhanced effect, it is important to talk the image for good luck or protection from negative energy.

Protection of the amulet is manifested situationally. The owner of the image will notice over time that there are fewer problems, things are going uphill, and troubles are bypassed. If the amulet is not chosen correctly or does not suit the energy of the protagonist, at best, nothing changes in life. At worst, problems and losses are attracted.

Regardless of time or belief, tattoo talismans have always had a protective function. The application of magical drawings is a great responsibility. When choosing a sketch, there is no place for haste and spontaneous choice.

How the symbols affect our health

Indeed, before you apply the signs, you need to think: how do they affect health? Doctors have conducted studies before and after tattooing. It turns out that a person has a decreased immunity. But the worst thing is getting an infection during the procedure itself.

Before you dare to take such a step, remember when you were vaccinated against hepatitis, tetanus and other most dangerous ailments. If the tattooist does not sterilize the needles, it is easy to catch hepatitis and other infections.

Today, many people wonder if it is true that you can get skin cancer? Doctors do not rule out such a possibility. Therefore, as soon as you notice bleeding, excessive redness, increased sensitivity around the made tattoo, the appearance of pus, changes in skin color, do not treat yourself, and immediately consult a doctor.

One more dangerous point: the paint can turn out to be allergenic and toxic for the human organism. Passing through the bloodstream into the liver, it can cause unpredictable changes in this organ. The paints used are not subjected to serious examination, so no one can guarantee for the consequences in the future.

Sak Yant: Where to get a tattoo?

Cara Delevingne also got herself a Sac Yant tattoo

The symbols used to be applied exclusively to men, but now women representatives can also get an amulet. You can get it done in Southeast Asia, mostly in Thailand and Cambodia from Buddhist representatives by appointment. Also you can get a tattoo in any salon, if you want to get from the symbols only aesthetic function and carefully read their meaning. But it is worth noting that in the East such "tribute to fashion" absolutely do not understand, because to this day they believe and follow the ancient teachings.

To apply exactly the magical tattoo have the right only Reishi (Rishi) - monks, who conduct the procedure in temples and monasteries. Rishi will not take money from you, he has no sketches, and you can't tell him what to do and where to do it. They live in renunciation in northern Thailand and Laos.

The second person is Ajahn, former monks. They tattoo for money or donations, many give tattoos to women and can also give you a drawing that has no magical power.

And lastly, the Shamans. Like tattoo artists, exclusively commercial individuals, but what sets them apart is that they apply images to the recitation of prayers and rituals. Whether or not such a tattoo will have power is up to you to decide.
