From simple Drawing  to a Symbol (Hieroglyph, Rune) and then into a Letter of the Alphabet - That was the sequence of our communication development with this World, and with God, and with ourselves. It was said:  we are created “Imago Dei” (latin) 

"

              Today we are proud that almost everyone can read and write,

              But unfortunately - this does not increase knowledge and mercy in people. A huge stream of information is pouring on us, and there are only grains of true knowledge in it. They try to reach us though the times in order to protect us from mistakes and diseases. 

              Ornaments do not separate humans into Nationality and Race. There are no social differences between them. They do not have all those false ambitions, people are boasting to fill the emptiness inside themselves.

              Forgetting about the Roots, about Culture, a person plunges himself into the abyss of Chaos and Ignorance, Aggression and Degradation. We can blame society for the imperfection of Modern Education. But who keeps us from the desire to improve and know much more than essential! Indeed, among this huge flow of all available knowledge, WE ARE free to choose. 
"

              Our ancestors conveyed this knowledge - they are in folk songs and dances.

              The Ornament weaves along the Times and keeps away from misfortune of Fate 

              Learn to read and listen again. Finding balance - Open your mind and speak to yourself.

What secrets does the belt from Lielvārde keep?

          A woven belt, the width of a palm, about four meters long, they are wrapped several times around the waist. At first glance - nothing special, just a detail of the Latvian national costume. However, this is not the case.

 

               One of the oldest and most powerful amulets - this belt was named Lielvarde after the name of one place near Riga, Lielvarde, where its most ancient sample was found.

 

              There are traditions of weaving the Lielvard belt, which have been passed down for many centuries, from generation to generation, from one master to another. An ornament is woven from two threads - red and white (moreover, the red thread should be woolen, and the white one - pure linen). About fifty plots are placed on the belt. They consistently flow from simple to more complex, from small to large forms. Among the ornamental elements are branched crosses, zagzags, swastikas, rhombuses.

 

              There is a version that this is not just an ornament, but encoded writings of distant ancestors. There are about 200 thousand points on the belt and contain ancient information about the cosmos, the universe, about life and death. Each belt was woven for a specific person and was completely unique. The master, who owns Knowledge, wove a belt with the name of its future owner on his lips and wove his entire life path against the background of the general universe with an ornament....

               The Lielvard belt is divided into 14 blocks. The first of them is a sign of a fish swimming into the river of life, the next is a sign of a person's familiarization with society, towards the end - a symbol of the transition to spirituality, a symbol of wisdom, and, finally, the final pattern symbolizes the transition of the soul to another world.

 

               The Lielvard belts are woven with some of the most intricate designs in the world.

               At the end of the 19th century, the Latvian researcher, writer, ethnographer Andrei Pumpur was the first to make an attempt to decipher the information contained in the Latvian folklore. His discovery was that sacramental knowledge is hidden in ornaments and legends.

 

                At the end of the 70s of the last century, the Estonian artist Tennis Vints, while doing scientific research in Peru and Mexico, found similar ornamented belts there. It turns out that the ornament of the belts found during excavations in Central and South America absolutely repeats the ornament of the Lilevard belt! A similar pattern is also found among some peoples of Africa. He took the belt to Tibet, where an absolutely stunning discovery awaited him. In one of the monasteries they were able to read fragments of the Lielvard belt pattern. It turns out that Tibetan monks and people who lived on the land of Latvia many centuries ago had a single language in the transfer of sacred knowledge and in-depth information! The Latvian director Ansis Epners (1937-2008) made an amazing film about this event, which is called "The Lielvard Belt".

 

                More than one generation of researchers tried to unravel the riddle of the Lielvard belt. Do not lose hope to decipher the ancient writings, encrypted in the ornament, and modern scientists. Although there is another version. The secret of the Lielvard belt has already been solved, all the letters have been read. But, since humanity is not yet spiritually ready for the information hidden in its patterns, the content of the ornament is kept in deep secrecy. How to know, how to know...

                According to some scientists, the DNA code is located in the Lielvard belt, because it goes in a spiral, and one side of the belt coincides with the other side. It complements both sides.
