• Коловрат
  [ka-lav-rat]

🔻The word “Kolovrat” is of Russian origin and is translated from Old Slavic as “rotation of the wheel”, “circle” ('коло' - circle, wheel, ' врат' - gate).

🔻However, the ancient Slavs used the word “коло” also as an epithet of the Sun.

🔻The symbol represents an eight-rayed wheel with rays bent in one direction (there is also a six-rayed and four-rayed one, the latter was used by Hitler☠).

🔻The rays can be bent clockwise or counterclockwise.

🔻Kolovrat was often depicted on the shields of ancient warriors, weapons, houses, and embroidered on clothing.

🔻Eight-rayed Kolovrat, with clockwise movement means the solar energy of life, the victory of Light over Darkness and personal victories.

🔻Four-rayed kolovrat is banned in Russia due to its similarity with Nazi symbols.
