About special dedications of the seven days of the week: when and to whom to pray. Rules for reading conspiracies and prayers

– Father, please enlighten me, do the days of the week have special dedications?

– The liturgical life of the Orthodox Church is cyclical. There are three liturgical circles: annual, weekly and daily. The annual contains movable and fixed holidays, repeating from year to year; the septenary consists of the days of the week, which are dedicated to the most important events of the earthly life of the Savior and the most revered saints; The daily cycle consists of nine services. They are repeated every day.

Thus, each of the seven days of the week in the Orthodox Church has its own dedication. Some of them, such as Sunday, Wednesday and Friday, were especially revered back in the days of the Ancient Church, and their meaning has not changed over the centuries. So, Monday is dedicated to the Heavenly Powers, Tuesday to John the Baptist, Wednesday is the day of Judas’ betrayal of the Savior, therefore the Cross of Christ is especially revered, Thursday is dedicated to the holy apostles and St. Nicholas, Friday is the day of the Savior’s Sacrifice on the Cross, on Saturday all saints are especially revered, the first among them Mother of God, and also all the departed are remembered. Sunday - Little Easter - the day of the Bright Resurrection of Christ, thanks to which eternal life was granted to all humanity.

– What does it mean: Monday is dedicated to Angels?

– On Monday, the Church especially honors the holy Angels. This veneration is expressed in the prayerful invocation of the ethereal Heavenly Forces. During the Monday service, prayers are heard in which believers ask for help from their Guardian Angels, as well as from other Angels, so that they accompany human life and help save the Christian soul. In the Orthodox Church there is a teaching according to which every Christian has a Guardian Angel, which is given to a person during the Sacrament of Baptism. And all human life is closely connected with the invisible angelic world. Some pious Christians, intensifying their feat, take on the burden of fasting on this day. The same practice exists in some monasteries. Monks imitate the Angels, devoting their lives to serving God and praising His Heavenly Glory, which is why they especially celebrate the day of honoring the ethereal Heavenly Powers.

– How do you understand: Tuesday is dedicated to John the Baptist? How to dedicate this day to him?

– On Tuesday, the Church glorifies all the Old Testament righteous men and prophets who, through their faithfulness to God, made possible the coming of the Savior of the world. Saint John the Baptist is the personification of loyalty to God, righteousness and asceticism. According to the Savior, the Forerunner is “Greater among those born of women.” To dedicate a day to a saint means, first of all, if you are not familiar with his life, then take an interest in the main milestones of the life and deeds of the saint. The basis of the feat of John the Baptist is asceticism and service to God. Studying the life of the Forerunner, every Christian will see a shining example to follow. Therefore, dedicating a day to the saint, analyze your life and identify those virtues that unite us. If there are none, you have a large field for spiritual work before you.

– Wednesday is dedicated to the Cross. How is this day different from others?

– On Wednesday, the Church’s remembrance of the Old Testament ends and the glorification of New Testament events begins. Wednesday and Friday are days of remembrance of the suffering and death of the Savior on the cross. On Wednesday, Judas betrayed the Savior. From this day the suffering of the Savior actually began. In this regard, the Cross is especially revered as an instrument of our salvation. On this day you need to fast throughout the year.

– Thursday is dedicated to the apostles and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. How to behave on this day?

– On Thursday, the Church remembers the holy apostles, through whose labors Christianity was established on earth. On this same day we honor the successor of the apostles, one of the most revered saints of the Orthodox Church - St. Nicholas, Archbishop of Myra, miracle worker. Today, in virtually every Orthodox home there is an icon of this great Pleasant of God. And therefore, reverence for the Saint should be expressed not simply in remembrance, but in living and real prayer.

– On Friday, should we especially remember the Crucifixion of Christ? Are there special prayers held in churches on this day?

– Friday is the day of remembering the passion and death of the Savior on the Cross. Fast day. The Church prayerfully sympathizes and glorifies the redemptive feat of Christ.

– Saturday is dedicated to all saints. How to mark it?

– On Saturday we honor all the saints. The first among them is the Mother of God. In the tradition of the Russian Church, every Christian is given a name in honor of some saint. Thus, on Saturday, honoring all the saints, we resort to the prayerful representation of our saint, as well as other saints close to our hearts, but for whom there is no special day during the week.

On this day, Christians especially pray for the repose of the departed, remembering their relatives, loved ones and everyone who has died from time immemorial. Remembrance can be expressed both in cell prayer and through participation in a memorial service, traditionally performed in churches on this day.

– Sunday is dedicated to the Lord. How to spend this day correctly?

– Sunday is Little Easter. It is dedicated to the Lord and has been revered by Christians since apostolic times. On this day, every believer must visit the temple to participate in the Divine Liturgy. Since the resurrection of Christ is hope for all people, the veneration of this day is special. It is best to spend the day after the service doing good deeds: visiting the sick, helping the needy, visiting the elderly. Also on Sunday you should devote several hours to reading the Holy Scriptures and praying. It would be correct to analyze the events of the past week (what good and bad happened during this period) and try to build a specific plan of action in spiritual life for the next seven days. Thus, the core of spiritual life, which is formed through a person’s participation in worship and moral improvement, will help a person, even in difficult life circumstances, not to stray from the path leading to the Truth.

1. Think again about what you are taking on and how it might turn out. If you’re not sure you need this, don’t do anything so you don’t end up biting your elbows later.

2. Before you begin, put strong protections on yourself and carefully prepare for the ritual itself. Everything must be carried out exactly as described (if you are confident in the correctness and authenticity of the ritual)! If a replacement is possible, this will be stated. If you do not have the opportunity to use some item described in the ritual, it is better to choose another ritual.

3. Do everything alone, unless you need another person for the ceremony. Banish all extraneous thoughts. You should only think about what you want. It’s better not to think, but just to know. (Doubt is collapse).

4. Reading all white magic conspiracies presupposes preliminary reading of the basic prayers “Creed”, “Our Father”, “Hail to the Virgin Mary”, “Jesus Prayer”, you need to memorize these prayers. For spell rituals, the forces of one or all elements of the universe can be called upon: Fire, earth, Water, Air, and also a prayer can be said - an appeal to the angel of a given day of the week.

5. Conspiracies are read - in the morning at dawn, facing east, unless otherwise stated, in the afternoon or at sunset.

6. Draining from a mistress or other lapel rituals should be performed at sunset - facing west, towards the setting sun, when the patroness of the offended and abandoned - the evening dawn - comes into force. At this moment, such conspiracies receive much greater power, a stronger magical effect.

7. In the middle of the day, you should perform all kinds of strengthening rituals aimed at getting rid of quarrels and conflicts between loving people, and strengthening existing feelings. Such prayers and incantations should also be said while facing the sun, at the moment when it is high in the sky, i.e. exactly at noon. Black rituals are performed after sunset, facing west. Such a love spell (including payoffs) must be completed before dawn the next day, or better yet, immediately after the ritual.

8. Conspiracies must be read in a sober state in a whisper, unless the preface to the conspiracy says otherwise (sometimes some conspiracies are read silently to oneself, or very loudly out loud, in a chant). Whispers are spoken in a low voice into the patient's ear, which at the same time must be lightly stroked clockwise with your palm. The patient does not need to hear all the words, but here are the key ones: “Go away the pain,” “Disappear,” “Get lost,” “So be it,” “Truly,” “Amen,” etc. - certainly.

9. If there are no special instructions, then conspiracies should be read for women on women's days - Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, for men - on men's days Monday, Tuesday, Thursday.

10. Before the conspiracy, you cannot eat for three hours, you can only drink clean water. All actions related to magic are performed only on an empty stomach. Because a full stomach dulls the senses necessary to take effect, makes the magician weaker, and therefore reduces the likelihood of a successful result. (Sometimes the post is specified)

11. All words of incantations, spells, etc. must be repeated exactly as written. It is better to learn conspiracies by heart (reading from a sheet of paper written in your own hand is allowed). If you make a mistake when reading the text, it is better to start reading the plot from the very beginning. Or postpone it for another lesson day.

12. Most conspiracies are universal, that is, you can read them for both men and women, changing the words “servant of God (name)” to “servant of God (name).” If a person is baptized with a different name, then the spell reads exactly that name, and not the one written in the passport. Sometimes a worldly name is used.

13. Each conspiracy is read at least three times, and as a rule, at least three days in a row. Until you are strong in magic, read the plot 3, 6, 9, 12, 21, 27, 40 times. In order not to lose count, after each reading, put aside one coin or match, you can sort out the rosary. This does not mean anything magically, but it will help to carry out the ritual correctly. When you see what works well, you can reduce the number of times to three. (There are recommendations to calculate the time so that Saturday does not fall on these days, probably because among our ancestors, “Sobotka” Saturday had a meaning as a free day, free for Mother Earth).

14. No cosmetics on the face are allowed. Your clothes should be plain (or better yet, carry out the rituals in a long shirt of unbleached linen). The main requirement for clothing is its simplicity and the absence of unnecessary details. It is advisable that clothing completely cover the arms and legs (to the toes for women, to the knees for men). Although now both women and men are allowed to wear trousers, the clothes of a person who decides to resort to love spells should not have belts, ties or metal fasteners. Everything is done barefoot; take off not only your shoes or slippers, but also your stockings. There should be no jewelry on the hands or ears. In general, remove any jewelry. You need to let your hair down and not comb it in the morning. A man must have his head uncovered.

15. No bright, catchy designs are allowed on clothing. Black clothing is suitable for performing black rituals. The white color symbolizes the purity of not only a person, but also his intentions, and also personifies all the forces of light. If you are performing a white love spell, then you should perform it in white clothes.

16. If you appeal to the spirits of the deceased, the windows should be closed.

17. If you call your loved one over, open the windows.

18. Rituals aimed at forgetting the past (or aimed at making another person forget the past) must be done at sunrise (or before sunrise). And if your goal is to influence your future, conspiracies should be read at sunset.

19. If you speak against yourself, then before that you need to fast for three days. You can’t eat fast food: meat, milk, eggs. You can eat fish - but only if these days do not fall on Wednesday and Friday. The one who is being spoken against must also keep a fast.

20. Rituals and spells must be done while absolutely healthy. You cannot work during your period. Pregnant women should not read conspiracies (except for those conspiracies with which a mother treats her child or puts a talisman on him). The fact is that the child at this time is still very weak, so he easily takes on all the maternal negativity, and if, after reading this or that conspiracy, you receive a backlash, in this case, with a hundred percent probability, your child will suffer from it. You should remember that an unborn child is very vulnerable and can be seriously harmed by things that an adult may not even notice.

21. Be sure to put up “protection” when performing any ritual. The best methods of protection are: cut off a small strand of hair from your head after performing the ritual and burn it on a church candle; before performing the ritual, go outside, hug the tree that grows closest to your door, and after the ritual, pierce the ring finger on your left hand with a steel pin, return to the same tree and squeeze seven drops of blood under its roots; immediately after performing the ritual, go for a minor poop and pour it into the snow behind the house (this protection only works in winter, when there is snow). Be sure to read the “Our Father” nine times after each ritual.

22. Never tell anyone about what you did and what you achieved with it.

23. Seal any conspiracy with the words “key, lock, tongue”, “key in the sky, castle in the sea”, etc. There are also generic ones.

24. It is mandatory to have several icons in the house: Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Kazan Mother of God, saints in whose honor all family members are named or baptized, St. Panteleimon (healer), St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, Seraphim of Sarov, Spiridonius of Trimifunt (helps with all matters , associated with the house), all saints.

25. There should always be red, yellow and brown church candles, holy water, and silver objects in the house.

26. Have a lunar calendar at hand, because some spells need to be done on certain lunar days.

27. Conspiracies cannot be read on Sunday - this is the time for prayer. I do not read conspiracies on Easter and on the twelfth church holidays: Nativity of the Virgin Mary, Exaltation of the Cross, Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary into the Temple, Nativity of Christ, Epiphany, Presentation, Annunciation, Transfiguration, Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Palm Sunday, Ascension, Trinity. Also, conspiracies are not read during Holy Week, on Forgiveness Sunday. Except for those conspiracies and rituals that are done only on these days.

28. If you make a conspiracy to someone, then be sure to take something from him in payment.

29. After they have made a spell for you, go to church and give generous alms to the poor. If money is short, it is better to give one person, but a lot, than a penny to everyone. Give some amount to the candle box. (Unless otherwise stated).

Words have great power, and magic is proof of this. However, if you carry out a conspiracy at the wrong time, you may not achieve the result. If you choose wisely when to read the plot, then the power of the spoken words will increase significantly. The phase of the moon can have a fatal effect on achieving a goal, and the correctly chosen day of the week will help some desires and will not help at all with others.

Lunar days for conspiracies

First of all, it is worth designating the first and last quarters of the moon as beneficial for magical affairs. Still, a particular phase of the moon is good for certain requests.

• New moon most often used for starting. Women often talk. Men starting their own business can read a conspiracy that guarantees success in it. But the phase cannot be called strong. On the contrary, the influence of the moon at this moment is the least. During this period, it will be beneficial to start something important, then a favorable outcome is more than possible.
• First quarter of the moon otherwise called the growing month. This period is designed to lay the foundation for the success of the business being started. The moon is just gaining momentum, and, consequently, strength. Therefore, you should not expect quick results. Here words must be spoken that can persuade the luminary to help them.
• Second quarter moon noticeably closer to the full moon, which is why conspiracies during this period will be more powerful. Requests for increased welfare would be appropriate here. This is the best time to adjust your character. For example, in order to, you should read a thematic plot precisely in the period before the full moon.
• Full moon- peak of lunar influence. The period is responsible for the consistency of the result. The words spoken in the conspiracy must contain a long-term request.
• Third quarter will provide the requester with deliverance from something bad, intrusive and annoying. The power of the luminary is even greater, so the request must be significant. or a sudden illness - ideal topics for a conspiracy.
• Fourth quarter symbolizes the ending. and - the best use of this lunar period.

What days of the week to read conspiracies

The days of the week have their own magical color. Depending on the day of the week, you can slightly change the practical effect of the conspiracy.

• Monday favors love magic. or - this is what needs to be said on this day. The first day of the week loves water, which is why all the liquid used in the spell will bring you significantly closer to the goal;
• Tuesday aims to win. Based on the fact that the goal is more often prescribed for men, endurance or protection of life will be the most successful;
• Wednesday condones any business related to exchange;
• Thursday will help those who ask;
• Friday respects conspiracies capable of and ;
• Saturday represents fertility. It follows that words aimed at increasing productivity will become justified;
• Sunday encourages to increase the power of positive conspiracies.

If you say the right words on the wrong day, the effect will still be there. But perhaps not as fast or strong as we would like.

Men's and women's days in conspiracies

The division of days of the week by gender is very simple:

• women's days: Wednesday, Friday, Saturday.
• men's days: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday

Is it possible to carry out conspiracies on holidays?

Most practicing magicians argue that it is better not to practice conspiracies, love spells and magic on major church holidays. The exception is special rituals that are performed only on the day of the holiday, for example , or .

Conspiracies on calendar days

According to Dahl, the list of monasticism includes 33 days a year, when they read conspiracies and create magic:

• January 1, 2, 4, 6, 11, 12, 19 and 20;
• February 11, 17, 28;
• March 1, 4, 14 and 24;
• April 3, 17 and 18;
• May 7 and 8;
• June 17;
• July 17 and 21;
• August 20 and 21;
• September 10 and 19;
• October 6;
• November 6 and 8;
• December 6, 11 and 18;

Conclusion

The only recommendation that is inherent in conspiracies on any day of the week and in absolutely every phase of the moon is faith. He who pronounces the words of magic must have unshakable faith that they will work. A burning desire must be in every letter of the plot being read, then the result will break all records.

Conspiracies are the verbal shell of ancient magical actions. When ancient shamans, witches, sorcerers - everyone who knew how to handle cosmic energy and knew its laws, performed one or another ritual, they accompanied their actions with words. These words were imbued with special energy. And then there was no need to take any action: it was enough to say the words of the conspiracy, and the ancient energy began to work.

The conspiracy uses a special language that is not always understandable to modern people. Pronounced correctly under the right conditions, it will certainly have an effect. And although the mechanism of action of the conspiracy is not fully understood, scientists do not deny its healing effect. If a person once (even as a joke, without completing the ritual to the end) read a conspiracy, they say that he “lit up,” that is, he became involved in the tradition to which the ritual belongs.

The effect of the conspiracy comes down to the fact that a person has certain vibrations, and the quality of his life depends on the frequency of these vibrations. They are individual for everyone. But there are also general rules: slow vibrations are a disease, their cessation is death. The faster the vibrations, the more interesting, brighter and richer a person’s life is, the stronger he is in spirit and body. The secret of the influence of a conspiracy, prayer, mantra is that they change the frequency of vibrations of the patient, speeding them up, forcing the body to fight ill health. To do this, the plot must be read quickly and monotonously, so that the sufferer does not understand the content of the spoken text. In a huge number of conspiracies, the content is complete gibberish, but it is precisely this that performs the function of an “accelerator” of vibrations. There are conspiracies that slow down vibrations, depending on who needs what.

You may not believe in the effectiveness of the conspiracy, but when pronouncing it, be extremely respectful of the names listed. Speak them clearly, without swallowing the end of the words. Remember, if you cast a spell related to healing, then present a clear picture of the desired future. For example, if a person has a deep wound, imagine in your mind how it heals and even the scars disappear.

Rules of rituals and conspiracies

1. Do not engage in conspiracies out of curiosity, you can harm both yourself and others. Think carefully before using them. Because by influencing life with the help of conspiracies, you are rebuilding the existing world. Are you ready to accept change and live with it?

2. Do everything alone, unless you need another person for the ritual. Banish all extraneous thoughts. You should only think about what you want.

H. Repeat all words and actions exactly as described. If you do not have the opportunity to use some item described in the ritual, choose another ritual.

4. Clothes should be plain (and it is best to wear a long shirt of unbleached linen). Everything is done barefoot; take off not only your shoes, but also your stockings. No jewelry on hands or ears. The cross also needs to be removed. No makeup. Let your hair down and don’t comb your hair in the morning. There is nothing to eat except bread and water.

5. Rituals aimed at forgetting the past (or for another person to forget the past) must be done at sunrise (or before sunrise). And if your goal is to influence your future, read the sunset plot.

6. Any ritual can be performed only once. If you feel like you did something wrong or said the wrong words, don’t even think about starting over! An error means you don't need to do this ritual.

7. Be sure to put up “protection” when performing any ritual. The best ways to protect yourself: cut off a small strand of hair from your head after performing the ritual and burn it on a church candle. Be sure to read those after the “Our Father” ritual nine times.

8. Never tell anyone what you did and what you achieved with it.

9. You can’t do the ritual during your period.

10. Never experiment with conspiracies, take them seriously, resort to them only in special situations.

Akathist They call a song of praise in honor of the Savior, the Mother of God, saints or any holidays (events).

Any akathist consists of 25 songs (in accordance with the Greek alphabet). Thirteen of them are called kontakia (songs of praise), and twelve are called ikoses (extensive songs), which explain the essence of the festive event. It is because of this that ikos is never read independently, but only after reading the kontakion. All ikos, with rare exceptions, end with the word “Rejoice,” and at the end of kontakia you can always hear “hallelujah,” which means “praise God.” After the reading of the kontakion there is always an ikos, which, as a rule, is divided into two parts. The last kontakion is considered an appeal to the one to whom the akathist is dedicated. By tradition, it is repeated three times in a row. The akathist is always followed by reading a prayer.

Akathists are not a statutory, obligatory liturgical rite. At services in churches, only the Akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos “To the Chosen Voivode...” is necessarily read on the Saturday of Praise of the Most Holy Theotokos, during the fifth week of Great Lent. In modern practice during Great Lent, the Akathist of the Passion of the Lord is also used in the rite of Passion, which is served on Sunday evenings in the 2nd-5th weeks of Great Lent.

Akathists in honor of holidays are sometimes read at Matins of a festive service or at a prayer service on the very day of the holiday. In general, at prayer services they often resort to reading akathists. This is how the order of reading the Paraklisis of the Mother of God developed, where at the prayer service after the sixth song of the canon, an akathist to the Mother of God (or to her icons) is read.

Calling upon the holy saints of God to help with everyday needs, akathists are read to them, to the icons of the Mother of God.

There are no special instructions in the Charter for reading akathists in church and during cell (home) prayer. But from general church practice a rule can be derived: During Great Lent it is not customary to read akathists , except for the Akathist to the Mother of God on the 5th week (on Saturday) and the Akathist to the Passion of Christ. On all other days of the year, reading akathists is permitted.

The akathist itself has a special sequence. So the 13th kontakion is read three times, and immediately after it the first ikos is repeated again, after which the first kontakion is read. At the end of the akathist, a prayer is read.

Reading akathists during the week

The service of each day of the week corresponds to the memory of a particular event or saint. In accordance with this rule, the practice arose of reading akathists throughout the week, imitating the weekly liturgical circle:

The order of reading akathists.

Reading akathists separately from the morning and evening prayer rules.

Through the prayers of the saints, our fathers, Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us. Amen.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us (three times, with the sign of the cross and bows from the waist).

Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us. Lord, cleanse our sins. Master, forgive our iniquities. Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name's sake.

Our Father, who art in heaven. Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done as it is in Heaven and on earth. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors, and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

Psalm 50.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy, and according to the multitude of Your mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Above all, wash me from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my iniquity and bear away my sin before me. I have sinned against You alone, and I have created evil before You, so that You may be justified in Your words and overcome, never judge You. Behold, I was conceived in iniquity, and my mother gave birth to me in sins. Behold, Thou hast loved the truth, Thou hast revealed to me Thy unknown and secret wisdom. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Give joy and gladness to my hearing; humble bones will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins, and cleanse all my iniquities. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit away from me. Reward me with the joy of Your salvation, and strengthen me with the Master’s Spirit. I will teach the wicked Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation; my tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. As if you had wanted sacrifices, you would have given burnt offerings, but you would not have been pleased. The sacrifice to God is a broken spirit, a contrite and humble heart, God will not despise. Bless Zion, O Lord, with Your favor, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then you will be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, the wave offering and the burnt offering, then they will lay the bullock on Your altar.

Symbol of faith

I believe in One God, the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible. And in the One Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only Begotten, Who was born of the Father before all ages; Light from Light, true God from true God, born, uncreated, consubstantial with the Father, to Whom all things were. For our sake, man and our salvation came down from heaven and became incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became human. She was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried. And he rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father. And again the coming one will be judged with glory by the living and the dead, His Kingdom will have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Life-Giving One, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who spoke the prophets. Into one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. I hope for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the next century. Amen.

Upon completion of the reading of the canon - a prayer to the Lord Jesus Christ or the Mother of God, a saint - according to the meaning of the akathist. Then:
