Those who have decided to come to faith in the Native Gods often ask how to receive initiation into the pagan faith and whether it is necessary to perform a debaptism ceremony . There are many variants of rituals floating around online: some say that only a Magus can perform it, others tell how to cross yourself. What is debaptism? Let's try to understand this issue.
Was there a ritual of baptism in the old days?
In those days when faith in the Slavic Gods was the only one on the territory of our country, there was no need for baptism, therefore such a ceremony was not performed. Similar rituals are not known in our northern villages, where many Slavic traditions have been preserved - dual faith , when pagan Gods were hidden under the names of Christian saints. It is thanks to dual faith that we managed to preserve many traditions that had already been lost in other regions of the country.
So, if you want to find an authentic baptism ritual familiar to our ancestors, you are unlikely to be able to do it. However, such rituals are still created today, therefore, if necessary, it is still possible to cross yourself.
Is debaptism really necessary?
On the Internet you can find many articles about how the rite of baptism kills a person’s ancestral memory, closes his lakes (the Slavic name for chakras) and makes it impossible to turn to the Native Gods. It's actually not that scary.
The rite of baptism only shows a person’s desire to accept the Christian faith, but does not at all cut him off from all life-giving streams.
Most people who want to be baptized did not go to church every week, did not perform all church rituals, and were not churchgoers. Often such a person was baptized by his parents in early childhood and did not show his will. It is enough for such a person to simply stop wearing a cross (if you still wear it) and begin to turn to the Native Gods in rituals. It is not necessary to undergo any ritual to remove baptism.
If has been a church member for a long time and decides to change his faith, things will be more difficult for him. But the difficulty will not be in the necessary rituals or in the fact that the Christian Church does not let such a person go or blocks his access to the Native Gods. The hardest thing will be to get rid of old habits and accept for yourself that you can start turning to the Slavic Gods right now.
Well, if you want to cleanse your house of evil, then we recommend that you perform a simple ritual.

How to uncross yourself
Debaptism is one of the modern fashionable trends for leaving Christianity. Let's figure out what debaptism is, why it is dangerous, and is it possible to debaptize?
To be unbaptized means to remove baptism through a rite of entry into the Slavic religion (Slavism, Rodnoverie). During baptism, the person who most often calls himself a sorcerer gives the person a name, as a symbol of entry into a new religion. Almost always, Slavicism, also known as Rodnoverie, is not perceived by a person as a religion, and the person being baptized is sure that he has returned from a foreign and bad religion to his native gods.
Slavicism is a religion that actively began its growth in 1980, and is still young and green. In addition, a lot of knowledge in this area has been lost and destroyed. Therefore, the remake grows quickly and easily takes root, since Slavism works on patriotism and craving for nature. Why am I writing this? Having undergone the rite of baptism, a person renounces Christianity and converts to the religion of Slavism, and this is always punishable.
What punishment will a person suffer if he decides to be baptized?
- Losing money.
- Loss of family.
These are the two main points, but in general there are more. Ignorance of the laws of religions and energies does not relieve you of responsibility. Once you enter a religion, you become its hostage forever; moving from religion to religion creates new debts.
Debaptism is a spit, a renunciation of Christianity. And this religion will never forgive you for this.
What to do? Do not run around religions, do not exist in illusion, but return to the beginning - to Life. And the beginning has a Name - Faith!
No, this is not a religion. All religions hold the word Faith as a certain object within themselves, and at the genetic level you began to consider religion a spiritual, moral component of life. Compare two words and how they resonate in your soul. Vera... warm, good. Religion... is something else. Remember, Faith has nothing to do with religion. Don't confuse two completely different concepts.
Faith is the knowledge of Ra. For many, Ra is associated with paganism, which is so hated by religions, and therefore is immediately denied. Ra is the Light emanating from the Sun, passing through all the planets and entering man. Without Ra there is no mind, but only mind. That is, a person acts according to orders and instincts, but cannot think himself. Although he does not notice that he is a puppet, he exists according to the principle “like everyone else.” Paganism is the local religions of different peoples. No worse than today's world religions. So don't be fooled.
Now let's get back to baptism. We have already found out that it is possible to cancel baptism.
So why do so many people want to be baptized? Because baptism is the pledge of your soul and body to the religion of Christianity. Why is it dangerous?
- Loss of health.
- Suffering.
- Instead of your will, now the prosthesis is the religious will.
- Instead of the tribal Spirit, the spirit of religion.
This is the minimum that you most often do not understand. I'll put it more simply. By accepting baptism, you agreed to serve the religion forever, you committed to suffer and get sick, because this is necessary according to the religion of Christianity.
Based on all these dangers, or more precisely, from the destruction of man, a desire appears to somehow unbaptize, and people enter a new religion, put on a slave collar again, but a different one.
Return to Faith is the only thing that gets rid of baptism and all other religious initiations.
Dyeing is a dedication to the Light; a similar ritual was previously performed at the birth of a child in order to illuminate a person’s path. This ritual has nothing to do with religions. And most importantly, we do not punish, since Faith is the basis of life, and religion will not go against it!
The dyeing is carried out by me, Alena Polyn and my daughter, no one else. Dyeing is a return to Faith, not just one, but one for all. The Sun will again begin to give you Light, JOY and MIND will appear.

When is a baptism ritual still needed?
Baptism should be carried out if you feel that the decision alone is not enough for you to feel like a person who has the right to turn to the Slavic Gods.
In this case, perform a ritual that will help you feel that all the burden of the past has been removed from you and now you can enter under the protection of the Native Gods. The best way to do this is to simply go through the naming ceremony. Part of naming is a mandatory cleansing from the past, including from another faith, if there was one. This same ritual is the answer to those who ask how to become a pagan. If you feel that your own decision is not enough for you and you need to strengthen your faith with a ritual, go through naming .
“My life began anew”: How I gave up faith
Vitaly Bormotov
In my case, there was no turning point, no unexpected event - neither when I came to religion, nor when I left it. The first happened in high school. I came across books by a Christian preacher and read them: the first with research interest, and the others avidly, feeling like I agreed with the author. The harmony and depth of Christian teaching, as I saw it, attracted me.
An active religious life began later, when I graduated from school. The intensity of my faith was changing. For some time I seriously wanted to become a celibate priest and devote myself to the church, but I changed my mind. And in the last year of my faith, I did not feel any emotional support from religion and continued religious practices only by force of will. I was a Christian for seven years, four of which I led an active religious life.
I was savvy in the natural sciences, so I did not deny evolution and considered the biblical accounts of the creation of the world and the events of the Old Testament to be allegorical. Instead, I found ways to combine religion with science and come up with solid explanations for my views. I consciously agreed with the Creed, the historicity of the events of the New Testament, I believed that God was involved in our lives and that we could pray to Him. Acceptance of religion is spoken of as a matter of choice and adherence to the decision made, and believers can be heard to say that literally nothing could dissuade them from their faith. This is not a perception of beliefs about reality, but rather of group membership or self-identification. For me at that time, and for many Christians, faith is not so much about God as it is about one’s own image.
I noticed more and more details in church practice and rhetoric that seemed incorrect and incorrect to me, and I attributed more and more things to the “earthly” dimension of the Church as opposed to the “heavenly” one. One day, while reading thoughts about religion on a forum of former Christians, I realized that I did not believe in God. This was not some moment of truth, surprise, trauma or blow; on the contrary, I was surprised by the everydayness of this awareness.
At that time, I had already been interested in thinking and systematizing ways of understanding the world for three years. I had long known and understood everything that would require me to reject the idea of God, but it was as if I forbade myself to do this. If anything freed me from illusions, it was not some stunning scientific argument, but a growing inner understanding that I had nothing to value in religion, and there was nothing terrible and limited in the secular approach. When the feelings felt that it was quite normal not to believe, the mind brought to the surface the thought that he no longer believed.
Having dropped my Christian identity, I felt relieved, but I was afraid of the reaction of others, although I knew that there would be no overt aggression. The fears were not justified, but they showed me how social religion is.
After leaving the faith, I realized the irreversible mortality of people and realized how important it is for us to fight aging and death. And there is no guarantee that humanity will not die out due to some stupid mistake. And the main thing that I saw is that it is not enough just to do good things from some list and not do bad ones for everything to be good in the end; people are responsible for the way their actions make the world, on a global level and in small matters.
Basically, religion is attractive for two things: the sense of basic, ontological meaningfulness of life and the fact that it gathers people around itself, gives a sense of group belonging, and creates a common space. I think both of these things can be replaced without resorting to belief in the illusory. Contrary to the words of preachers, life, pleasure, work and knowledge do not lose meaning in a world where there is no God (although, by abandoning false statements, we will no longer close our eyes to some unpleasant truths). Communities that are able to provide the joy of communication and joint activities, creating a group identity, may not be based on false ideas. Often atheists and skeptics are overly individualistic and fear strong communities: that they will become “sects” and will cultivate conformity and intergroup enmity. These dangers indeed exist, but by rejecting the building of communities with a strong group identity, we deny an important need and lose a lot.
I think it is the growth and development of movements and groups, united within and dedicated to different things (tourism, playing “Mafia”, rationality skills, Chuvash folk dances, charity, urban orientation) that can not only take the place of religion, but work better. Doing something concrete with a verifiable result in the real world is more interesting than talking about the invisible, and safer on the subject of becoming a “sect.”
Another thing that is useful in the struggle for common sense is education and the development of the ability to think, solve problems (and not just memorize material). I am not close to atheist activism, which is often limited to derogatory criticism of religion and only provokes stronger defense of faith. Many atheists make stupid mistakes, such as declaring that if there were no religion, there would be no wars and violence; or that all believers believe that everyone else will go to hell; or that all Christian denominations reject evolution. A prominent part of atheist polemics is beating up the opponent's straw man, and it does not help believers get rid of their mistakes.
Instead, enlightenment and community building offer positive content, which, if you accept it, you will no longer need religion so much. This is not a panacea, and it is only possible in relatively prosperous places where people can get education and do interesting things, they have free time to participate in diverse communities and reflect. But in Russia this can work, especially since the majority of believers here are not distinguished by conviction, have a vague idea of Christian teaching and adhere to a certain religiosity, mostly for reasons of tradition and conformity.
