Ancient Slavic dolls-amulets. Without a face, but with meaning Karelian folk dolls

Karelian rvanka is a northern folk rag doll. Ethnographers found such a doll in the village of Kindasovo. Rvanka is a Karelian and Arkhangelsk version of the “nurse doll”. Like any “nurse”, it symbolizes prosperity and fertility. They make it or give it with thoughts and wishes for well-being in the family, health for all household members and prosperity in the house. But Karelian jerky has its own characteristics. Her costume reflects the details of the clothing of the inhabitants of southern Karelia. This rag doll has a vest - traditionally red - and a skirt and apron tied at an angle. Like most folk rag dolls, Karelian rvanka was made without the help of a needle and scissors. You can even hear it in the name - the material was torn, hence the torn.

How to make a folk rag doll Karelian rvanka.

All dimensions are approximate. With these dimensions, the resulting doll is 13cm high.

1. We make the head of the ragged doll. Place padding polyester on a 20x20cm square piece of light-colored fabric and tie it with a thread under the head. It is convenient to mark the center on a rag with a pencil.

2. We make handles for the jerk doll. Fold a rectangular piece of fabric 16x10 cm on the short sides and fold the long edges towards the center.

We tie strings from the ends of the handles to create palms.

3. Place the handles between the pieces of the body.

We tie it with a thread under the handles.

4. Making breasts for the jerk doll. Place padding polyester on two square pieces of fabric 10x10 cm and tie with thread, forming elastic balls. Leave the tying threads long.

5. We tie the breasts to the rag doll using the remaining threads.

6. For the vest, take a piece of fabric 6x15cm. Let's make a T-shaped cut in the middle, moving it slightly towards the back.

We put a vest on our rag doll and tie it under the chest.

7. For a ragged skirt you need a square piece of fabric 15.5x15.5cm. We make a cross-shaped incision in the center of the flap.

We put the skirt on the rag doll using the reverse method and tie it with thread.

We lower the skirt down and straighten it.

8. For the apron you need a square of fabric 5x5cm. Place the braid or string on the corner of the square and bend it.

Our ancestors did not buy dolls - they made toys with their own hands. Every girl was taught this skill from the age of four or five. Both boys and girls played with dolls up to the age of seven. As boys grew up, they took up saws and axes, while girls kept dolls for the rest of their lives. When a girl got married, it was considered absolutely decent to take a chest of dolls with her and bring it to her husband’s house. This chest reminded women of carefree childhood, girlhood, youth and family.

Technologies

Folk dolls are called jerks or twists, based on the method of their assembly. Scissors, needles and other piercing and cutting objects were not used to make dolls: they transfer part of a person’s soul - you cannot stab or cut a doll.

Valentina Yurgaityte, employee of the Kizhi Museum:

“The doll was really treated as a likeness of a person.” This was due to the caring attitude towards them. They believed that if you give a doll a face, the doll can come to life. An evil spirit can move into it, the doll will take on a life of its own and be able to harm household members. Therefore, just in case, they did not draw a face on the dolls; they were wary of its power, thereby recognizing that this power exists.

Sacred meaning

In ancient times, dolls performed many functions: they were toys, amulets, or part of rituals.

— the first doll in a child’s life. The mother made it even before the baby was born. The diaper was placed in the cradle: it was believed that it warmed the cradle and protected the child from evil forces and the evil eye. The diaper is a double of a newborn, and it was believed that evil forces, coming into the house, would move into it, but the child himself would not be touched.

When the girl grew up, at her wedding, at the feast, the diaper lay on the bride’s lap. She attracted maternal strength, the girl got used to the idea that she herself was a future mother.

Baby Naked is the only folk doll that could be changed into clothes. Why is this not a modern bobblehead? Photo: Nikolay Smirnov

When the child grew up a little, his mother made him a Veduchka doll.:

Dolls not only protected the child from evil forces or amused him. They helped young mothers care for their children. Okay, head insomnia dolls filled with soothing herbs: motherwort, valerian, lemon balm. Such a doll was given to a child and they were told: “Insomnia, play with this doll and don’t play with my child.” The baby, inhaling the smells of herbs, gradually calmed down and fell asleep. Was and colic doll. She was kept on the stove. They gave it to a child if his stomach hurt, and the doll’s warmth soothed the pain.

A married woman has a lot of household chores. The doll was also supposed to help her be a good housewife and keep up with everything.

ten pen They gave it to a young woman - a girl who had recently gotten married. According to legend, the patroness of artisans, the goddess Makosh, took pity on one woman who could not keep up with the housework, and gave her two more hands. But even with four hands, the hostess could not keep up with everything - she had so much to do. Makosh gave her two more hands, and so on until the woman had ten hands. When this did not help, Makosh took her extra eight hands and gave her a Ten-Handed doll.

Try to find the differences, where is the girl and where is the woman? Photo: Nikolay Smirnov

The symbol of the beginning of adult life was a shapeshifting doll, one in two faces. It symbolizes the transition from carefree youth to adulthood as a wise woman. The girl personifies beauty, she is a bird that will fly away from her parents’ house, she is carefree and cheerful. And the woman is economical, sedate, she has all the worries about the house and family. She looks more inward and protects her home and child.

For non-family girls, there were also a number of dolls that help arrange their personal lives and get married successfully.

Combines all the qualities of an enviable bride. Its name comes from the word “slavutnost” - female attractiveness. Her doll helped the girl find it. The Slavutnitsa was made with special care - beautiful and well-made. It was also used to judge the skill of the future bride.

U dolls for marriage- a long neck, on which several scarves were worn. For each of them they made wishes for the future husband - what he should be like. The more demands the bride has, the longer the doll's neck. But they did not advise to abuse it - be afraid of your desires. The doll has no hands, because in the family the main worker is the husband, he must be handy. And the wife is the neck, as in that famous saying. The doll for marriage was placed on the window of the hut - this was a sign to the matchmakers that it was time to come.

The ideal of female beauty of our ancestors was embodied in feeding doll. The doll's shape goes back to the pagan cult of the ancestral mother, who was always depicted with a pointedly exaggerated female form. Of course, this is a symbol of fertility, but at the same time the ideal of beauty for a peasant woman, who should be strong, large and hardy, suitable for hard physical work.

The grain doll was also a symbol of fertility. Photo: Nikolay Smirnov

- one of the main dolls in the house, a talisman for satiety and prosperity. It was made from burlap after the harvest. They stuffed it with the best, selected grains and carefully stored it until the next sowing. A new sowing season began with grain from the doll. Sometimes a coin could be placed at the bottom of the doll.

Another doll is a feverish woman. This is a talisman in the form of 12 figures of shaking demons. They fly into a house through a chimney at night and take over people, start shaking them, relaxing their joints and breaking bones. Having exhausted one, the fever spreads to the other. When flying, she kisses her victims, from these kisses the person gets sick. They are named according to the torment that fevers can cause.

The amulet was hung on a red thread above the stove. It was believed that a feverish woman, having flown into the house through the chimney, would see the doll and inhabit it. Therefore, the dolls were made bright so that the feverish woman would immediately notice them. At the end of the year, the amulet was burned so that illnesses would leave the house with the ashes and smoke.

You need to be able to spin feverish games:

Master Class

Some dolls have a rather complex structure, and without skill it is impossible to cope with them. However, there are also examples that are easy to make at home.

For example, if you want warmer days to come sooner, try doing Martinichek.

Martinicheks can be hung on a tree or decorated with clothes. Photo: Nikolay Smirnov

These dolls were used in the ritual of invoking spring. Martinicheks were hung on trees; they symbolized the “blooming” of nature: white for winter, and red for spring.

How to make a diaper

You can also make a diaper at home. The master class was shown to us by an employee of the Kizhi Museum, Kristina Salakhova.

For the diaper we need:
- a long and narrow piece of fabric (white) - for the base of the doll;
- a smaller piece of fabric (blue) - the doll’s bottom scarf;
- two identical colorful square cuts - we swaddle them with them;
- white thread is thin and red thread is thicker.

Ingredients for the diaper. Don't forget that needles and scissors cannot be used! We tear everything by hand. Photo: Nikolay Smirnov

We twist a long piece of fabric into a twist. We tie it with a red (protective color) thread in the center - in the area of ​​the navel of the future doll. Be sure to place the thread crosswise, then the diaper will be more careful.

Carefully place the bottom scarf over the twist. We tie it with white thread.

Diaper. Step 2. Photo: Nikolay Smirnov

On top we put another scarf on the doll, this time a colorful one. And again we tie it with white thread.

Finally, we wrap our diaper with the remaining piece of fabric and tie it crosswise with a beautiful red thread. The diaper is ready.

The thematic exhibition in the museum includes 153 dolls from the collection of Tatyana Yashkova. Each doll has its own story and purpose.

Fevers, aka Fever, aka Shakers, are evil demons of disease in the guise of female sisters. They appear to be evil and ugly virgins, stunted, starved, feeling constant hunger, sometimes even blind and armless. The word “fever” comes from the words “dashingly to please”, that is, to act to someone’s harm, to take care of someone, with malicious intent, with recklessness; other common names: fever, fever (“manya” - ghost, “beckon” - lie, deceive).

Vilena conducts classes on these dolls, the photo on the left is from an invitation to a class on Lichomaniacs from Vilena.

According to legend, fever demons fly into a house through a chimney at night and take possession of people, begin to shake them, relax their joints and break bones. Having exhausted one, the fever spreads to the other. During her flight, she kisses her chosen victims, and from the touch of her lips a person immediately falls ill. Anyone who has a disease on his lips is told about him: “A feverish woman kissed him. »

According to Slavic mythology, the evil Chernobog created Fever from mud, swamp slurry and burdock thorns. In the summer, the hero Perun drives evil fevers into the fiery depths of hell, because at this time they are not dangerous to people. And with the beginning of winter, when Perun falls asleep, Chernobog sends them again to the human race. As the day begins to be shorter than the night, you need to start taking care of them. For example, making protective dolls.

Among the people there are many legends and beliefs about fevers. Sisters can walk the earth, either together or alone. They can fly into the house through a chimney or ventilation window. They can call out to people from the street at night; whoever answers in a dream will get sick. For tabooistic reasons, they are called with affectionate and friendly words: good woman, kumokha, sister, aunt, guest, guest, etc. Cases are mentioned when people managed to kill or catch and suppress a fever. This is probably why the number of demonesses in different places is called differently. Most often, it is said that their number is 9, 12, 13, although there are options for 40, 77.

According to the myths of Christian times, fevers have nine or twelve winged sisters, daughters of King Herod and Queen Zhupela.

The elder sister named Kumoha, the demoness of the spring cold, rules over the fever sisters. The remaining twelve sisters are obedient to her in everything. The people also gave names to all the other sisters. Fevers in their names describe the torment with which each of them torments the patient.

These are the names:

1. Shaking (Tryasavitsa) - from the verb “to shake.”

2. Fire, or Fiery: “Whoever I catch (she says about herself), he will flare up, like a flame in a furnace,” that is, she produces internal heat.

3. Ledeya, or Chill (Znobeya, Znobukha): like ice, the human race shudders, and whoever it torments cannot even warm itself in the oven.

4. Oppression - it lies on a person’s ribs, oppresses his womb, deprives him of appetite and produces vomiting.

5. Breast or Grynusha - lies on the chest, near the heart, and causes hoarseness and coughing.

6. Deafness or Glokhnya - puts pressure on the head, aches it and blocks the ears, causing the patient to become deaf.

7. Lomeya, or Bonecrusher: “Just as a strong storm breaks a tree, it also breaks bones and backs.”

8. Puffy - swelling (swelling) spreads throughout the body.

9. Yellowing, Jaundice - this turns a person yellow, “like a flower in a field.”

10. Korkusha, or Korcheya - brings together the veins of the arms and legs, that is, writhes.

11. Looking - does not allow the patient to sleep (does not allow him to close his eyes, which explains the name given to her); Together with her, demons approach the person and drive him crazy.

12. Neveah (the deadening one), the fire-eater - she is the most damned of all, and if she enters a person, he will no longer escape death. (This is the same dancer, that is, Herodias, for whose sake the head of John the Baptist was cut off)

To protect against the shaking sisters and evil fevers, dolls of the same name were made.

They were made from wood chips wrapped in shreds (required) from worn-out clothes. The dolls were placed on a stove or tied with a cord and hung near the chimney. It was believed that the fever, having flown into the house through the chimney at night, would begin to look around in search of a victim, see a doll, recognize itself in it, and move into it instead of one of the household members. Therefore, the dolls that had served their time were burned in the spring on Saraki or Maundy Thursday or on the Annunciation (in different places in different ways), freeing the house from negativity.

When making fevers, they often read the conspiracy, calling each one by name. The skill was to knit the dolls in the rhythm of the hex, the last knot tied coincided with the last word.

They dressed the feverish ones in brighter, brighter colors, so that the doll would definitely please the disease-demon.

If someone in the house was sick, the hostess persuaded the doll to free the person from the illness, beginning to further decorate her clothes and make offerings. When good persuasion did not help, the hostess could begin to scold her, promising to put her out on the street, where it was cold and hungry, or to scare her that she would throw her in the oven.

They differ: winter on sticks, they are made of finger size (Kumoha is medium, the rest are nameless), and they live in a group, and spring fevers - rag and they spin in a row on a string.

See the following article for MK on winter fever.

In fact, these are thirteen twisted dolls: twelve as wide as a palm, and one twice as large - Kumoha.

For the base, only “dead” wood is used - chips, knots from logs, dried branches long broken from the tree. The length of the sticks is the height of the future doll.

A long strip of the same width as the stick being wrapped is torn from the white fabric. Next, the stick is wrapped and twisted into a flap, just as a bandage is rolled up.

The twist can also be used as a template for other types of dolls. Traditionally, the twist is done “on the knee”. A strip of fabric is laid out on the knees along the leg, a stick is placed on the strip, the stick is rolled over the fabric with the palm of your hand, wrapping the fabric around the stick. The already wound twist can be rolled with your palm over the knee until it is smoothed out, compacted and stops unwinding.

The twist is tied with thread in two places. The first time in the middle (like a belt) and the other time 2/3 of the upper half (the head is separated). The result is a blank doll. This doll's thread never winds crosswise. After all, the cross serves as a talisman against evil demons, and The fever doll's function is distracting and substitutive; on the contrary, it should be attractive to them.

Next, we dress the doll: Tie a scarf. Then, wrap the dress around 2/3 of the body with a piece of colored fabric. Attach an apron. Tie and secure the dress and apron with a belt. The fever is ready. (It is possible to design the dolls when the scarf is put on last, already on top of the dress).

My fevers are in the process of being made.

My Lichomaniacs - together with Kumokha.

My Feverish women again - rear view.

Before giving birth, a woman made 13 small dolls to protect her child and hung them near the chimney in the hut. If the child fell ill, the mother “negotiated” with one of the dolls for help in recovery. If the doll did not help, the woman promised to throw it out of the house and onto the street.

Remember, a properly made doll should be able to stand without support.

Place the Fever near the chimney or hood. The big fever is located in the middle. They can be placed on a shelf or tied with a red cord and hung on the wall.

Elena Antipina
Karelian doll

Story Karelian doll– Antipina Elena Albertovna

Karelia is rich in its history, fairy tales, epics, monuments of wooden architecture. Skilled craftsmen have lived here for a long time. Residents have long owned many crafts Karelia. Some of these crafts, being widespread everywhere, were exclusively domestic. These included weaving, weaving from birch bark, willow vine, wood chips, twisting ropes, knitting nets, embroidery, making wooden utensils and rags. dolls. The secrets of any craft were passed down from generation to generation, from father to son, from mother to daughter.

DOLLS – CHARMS from GRANDMOTHER'S CHEST

In ancient times, dolls had a different purpose: they were protection for people from diseases, misfortunes, and evil spirits. The doll took care of a person, and that’s what they called it: amulet or bereginya. As a rule, the most “security” dolls were those made without needles and scissors. When making dolls, they tried not to cut the fabric, but to tear it (sometimes the dolls were called “torn”). Even before the baby was born, they made a doll and put it in a cradle so that the doll would “warm” it for the future baby. The doll distracted evil spirits, protecting the baby. A rag doll was made with your own hands; the mother gave it to her daughter before the wedding, blessing her for a happy marriage. The amulets were given to a son who was going to serve in the army, to a husband on the road with wishes of good luck and a speedy return. Peasant families had a lot of dolls, they were not scattered, they were treasured, they were taken care of. The peasants believed that the more dolls, the more happiness there was in the family.

A doll is a children's toy in the form of a human figurine. Dolls imitate the world of adults, and through play the child gradually prepares for an independent life. Our ancestors realized the importance of play for the formation of a child’s personality, which is why the methods of folk pedagogy were focused, first of all, on the specifics of the child’s soul: the thirst for imitation, the thirst for work, the desire to rejoice and play.

Doll Karelian "rvanka" was a talisman, but at the same time she was also a play doll. Such a doll was made without the use of a needle or scissors - the shreds necessary for its manufacture were simply torn off from a whole piece of fabric, which is why the name “torn” was assigned to it. Each girl tried to make her doll the best she could, came up with outfits for it, and dressed it up again.
