Let the birth of the new Sun kindle your flame, which will shine brightly and warm you on your way. May that flame of yours not only prevent you from getting lost in the darkness, but may it also be a light for your neighbors in the darkness.
May the new Sun and your flame burn away all ailments and diseases, may you have a lot of strength in your body and spirit, so that you may succeed in carrying out your bright intentions in the coming times. May Dažbog and Rod himself bless your actions.
I wish you that your ancestors are close to you, protect you and help you. Let Lada give you love, Mokoš will bless you with plenty. May Veles bless you with a clear mind, Svarog with undying strength and Perun with powerful protection.
You will read a lot about this holiday - THE BIRTH OF THE NEW SUN - about the WINTER SOLSTICE - and about CHRISTMAS, but the important thing is to understand that little litlegod KOLIADA, with its birth, in its essence, defeated Morena itself. That the birth of a new Sun, no matter how we look at it, portends the defeat of death itself and the soon rebirth of everything.
Over time, many different symbols and ceremonies crept into our original traditions of this period, starting with the Christmas tree, but last but not least, culminating in a generous dinner. I wish you to enjoy all the ceremonies and to give you strength for the next CIRCLE (KOLO) of the year.
At this time, like my ancestors in the past, I burn BADIK in the fireplace. Also a sacred log, anointed with honey, sprinkled with nuts and poppies. Praying that such an offering will ignite a flame that will last me for the whole next year. He will guide me on my way, burn diseases and everything bad that I will have to deal with.
So once again:
Let the birth of the new Sun kindle your flame, which will shine brightly and warm you on your way. MANY BLESSED YEARS!
