AllatRa by Anastasia Novykh
This symbol was known to ancient peoples in different times in the form of the above
mentioned symbol, which resembles a “bug”, and also images of ancient goddesses with
raised hands. It’s he same ancient symbol which was recorded by “prehistoric” people as
a petroglyph, indicating that man can reach such a state of spiritual liberation only with
the participation of the creative forces of Allat.
Rigden: Absolutely. So, the image of the Mother of God “Oranta”, who is dressed in
blue garments and stands on a quadrangular base, is positioned against a circle-shaped
golden mosaic background. By the way, in an altered state of consciousness (of
expanded spiritual perception), man, while looking at the Mother of God, can see the
effect of glowing green light radiating from Her. Along the curve of the half-dome over
the arch of this unique niche, an inscription in Greek has been preserved from ascetics of
Mount Athos for the future generations of Kievan Rus: “God is in the midst of her and
will not move: God help her morning by morning”.
In the context of the story about Kievan Rus, I would like to draw your attention to
another equally important page in history. Initially in Kievan Rus, Archangel Gabriel
and Virgin Mary were honoured together, as it should be. And only much later, in the
15th century, people singled out the honouring of Archangel Gabriel from the cult of
Annunciation of the Holy Mother, although this is incorrect. Where the Virgin creates in
a holy way, there is always the Holy Spirit with Her. By the way, in the Slavic beliefs
(before Christianity was adopted), the supreme male and female deity were honoured
together; using our language, in the meaning of the spiritual symbol of the divine Lotos
(plan) and the creative Allat (implementation of the plan).
Anastasia: Yes, this can be traced back to the mythological characters of the Slavic
sacred legends, which have been preserved since ancient times.
Rigden: Regarding Archangel Gabriel and Virgin Mary, on the altar pillars of the main
eastern arch of Sophia’s cathedral in Kiev, where the Mother of God “Oranta” is located,
mosaic images of the Annunciation have still been preserved.
Anastasia: Yes, on one pillar there, there’s a picture of Archangel Gabriel whose
fingers of his right hand are joined in the blessing sign. On the other pillar, there’s the
Mother of God with a spindle in her hand, spinning the spiritual thread of the human life.
