In Ynglism, ''[[Baba Yaga]]'', whose original name is ''Baba Yoga'', meaning the "[[Yogini]] Mother", is a goddess representing female yujists who initiate orphan children to the Aryan gods through a fire rite, to make them priests and leaders of communities; she would have been demonised by the Christians, who turned her into the old hag who eats children of modern Russian folklore.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Baba-Yoga">{{cite web|title=Баба Йога |trans-title=Baba Yoga |url=https://derzhavarus.ru/baba-joga.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=31 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210118172318/https://derzhavarus.ru/baba-joga.html |archive-date=18 January 2021}}</ref><ref name="Derzhavarus-Baba-Yaga-skete">{{cite web|title=Баба Яга и её скит |trans-title=Baba Yaga and her skete |url=https://derzhavarus.ru/baba-jaga-skit.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=22 May 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210115140708/https://derzhavarus.ru/baba-jaga-skit.html |archive-date=15 January 2021}}</ref>]]
The Ynglist Church is known for its intensive [[proselytism]],{{sfnm|1a1=Aitamurto|1y=2007|1loc=passim|2a1=Kuzmin|2y=2014|2loc=abstract}} carried out through a "massive selling" of books, journals and other media.{{sfn|Aitamurto|2016|p=51}} The Ynglists spread the content of the ''Slavo-Aryan Vedas'', teach "Aryan mathematics" and ancient grammar, and also health techniques.{{sfnm|1a1=Aitamurto|1y=2016|1p=51|2a1=Golovneva|2y=2018|2p=342}} They also spread the use a system of "[[pre-Christian Slavic writing|Slavo-Aryan runes]]" in which the original metallic sheets of the ''Slavo-Aryan Vedas'' were written.{{sfnm|1a1=Aitamurto|1y=2016|1p=120, note 23|2a1=Prokopyuk|2y=2017|2p=32}}

===Clergy, temples and rituals===
The scholar Alexey Gaidukov described Ynglism as having a well-defined hierarchic ecclesiastical structure and worship system.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|pp=33, 42, 141–142}} The Ynglist Church is led by the ''Pater Diy'' ("Divine Father", "Shining Father);{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=141}} from the 1990s throughout the 2020s the ''Pater Diy'' is Aleksandr Khinevich,{{sfnm|1a1=Maltsev|1y=2015|1loc=passim|2a1=Yashin|2y=2016|2p=39|3a1=Shnirelman|3y=2017b|3p=91|4a1=Golovneva|4y=2018|4p=341}} also known as ''[[volkhv]]'' Kolovrat.{{sfn|Prokopyuk|2017|p=40}} The ''Pater Diy'' is the head of the utmost Council of Elders (Совет Старейшин, ''Sovet Stareyshin'') of the church.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=141}} Any priest (жрец, ''zhrets''; священник, ''svyashchennik'') member of the church may be appointed to become the succeeding ''Pater Diy'', but he must not be younger than 21 years old.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=141}} Below the ''Pater Diy'', there are five ranks in the sacerdotal hierarchy of the church:
# ''Ingling-svyashchennik'' (Инглинг-священник, "Yngling priest"), the highest rank of priests below the ''Pater Diy'' whose duty is to perform divine liturgies.
# ''Khramovnik'' (храмовник, "templar"), defining priests who act as temple guardians, performing temple duties except divine liturgies. The ''khramovnik'' also bear a sword and a short dagger with themselves to represent their role as temple guardians. {{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=142}}
#  ''Volkhv'' (волхв, "mage"), defining priests who perform sacraments inside and outside the temples, except divine liturgies and temple duties.
# ''Strannik'' (странник, "wanderer"), defining priests who assist the former two ranks in performing temple duties, sacraments, and also wander as missionaries.
# ''Dukhovnik'' (духовник, "spiritual confessor"), defining priests who perform only rituals of purification and [[initiation]], including baptisms.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=142}} All of them wear white robes, with cloaks and belts of different colours to distinguish the rank they belong to.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=142}}

Such sacerdotal hierarchy, like the organisation of temples (''khram'') and communities, mimicks that of [[Eastern Orthodox Christianity]].{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|pp=126, 142}}

Contrary to other Rodnover traditions which prefer that collective worship is held at shrines consisting of wooden idols (капь, ''kap''') and other ritual elements placed in clearings or natural open holy spaces, Ynglism emphasises that worship should be held inside walled temples.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=140}} The worship of the gods and the ancestors is conducted by the Ynglists through a detailedly elaborated liturgy in which the style of speech and behaviour of the participants are similar to those of Orthodox Christians.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=126}} Also similar is the strict regulation of performance, timing and content of prayers and appeals; the Ynglists conduct rituals and recite prayers at precise times of the day and before or after undertaking certain actions, such as before beginning to work, before going to sleep, and similar others.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=135}} Prayers, speech formulations, are held to be energetic vibrations directed to certain gods, thus going to certain stars and constellations which are the bodies of such gods; Slavo-Aryan prayers are meant to go mainly to the northern celestial pole, ''Svarga''.<ref name="Derzhavarus-prayer">{{cite web|title=Как определить направление молитвы? |trans-title=How to determine the direction of prayer? |url=https://derzhavarus.ru/napravlenie-molitvy.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=26 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210305220336/https://derzhavarus.ru/napravlenie-molitvy.html |archive-date=5 March 2021}}</ref> Yearly gatherings (''veche'') of great numbers of Ynglist believers are held in summer.{{sfn|Aitamurto|2016|p=51}}

All Ynglist believers have to go through three rites of initiation, for entry and confirmation in the communion of the church; three baptisms, respectively in water, fire and spirit: the baptism in water is undergone at the age of 9 and marks the entry into the communion of the church; the baptism in fire is undergone at the age of 24 and confirms the presence of the believer in the communion; the baptism in spirit is undergone at the age of 36, considered the age when a person reaches full adulthood and is sanctified for creating a new family.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=116}} Weddings in Ynglism are usually held in coincidence with the holiday and month of [[Kolyada]] (December).{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=124}} During their divine liturgies, the Ynglists practise a peculiar gesture, the "holy sign" (святое знамение), to "illustrate the holy faith, repeating the holy lightning of Perun which consecrated the life of the ancestors": to do it, the third phalanges of the thumb, the ring finger and the small finger of the right hand are joined together to represent the great ''Triglav'' of Svarog-Perun-Svetovid, as well as conscience, freedom and light, while the index and the middle finger are joined in straight line to represent the heavenly kin (the genealogy) and the mother goddess receiving it; folded in this way, the two straightened fingers first touch the forehead, then the left eye, then the right eye, and endly the mouth.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=134}}

===Yujism===
[[File:Yujist symbolic representation of reality.svg|thumb|upright=1.0|Yujist figurative representation of reality]]
Yujism (юджизм; Ynglist runes: [[File:'Yujism' Ynglist runic.svg|frameless|40px]]; lit. "good life"; also spelled "yudzhism" or "eujism") is the learning and practice of the right view on reality, characteristic of and taught by the "earliest ancestors" with whom the Ynglists identify themselves — the Aryans.<ref name="Derzhavarus-yujism">{{cite web|title=Юджизм – мировосприятие славян |trans-title=Yujism – the worldview of the Slavs|url=http://derzhavarus.ru/judzhizm-mirovospriyatie.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=26 November 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170627211917/http://derzhavarus.ru/judzhizm-mirovospriyatie.html |archive-date=27 June 2017}}</ref> The fundamental requirement for learning yujism is the ability of figurative thought; according to the Ynglists, images convey much more informations than either sounds or gestures, whence the movement's emphasis on runes, which immediately set in motion images in the mind.<ref name="Derzhavarus-yujism"/> The goal of yujism is the perception and understanding of reality as an energetic process; when one becomes conscious of such energetic process, yujism becomes his way of life.<ref name="Derzhavarus-yujism"/>

The first rune, the "image of Yngly" which is the ''[[swastika]]'' symbol, is conceived as well as the representation of ''yuj'' or ''yudzh'' (юдж) itself, which Ynglist sources themselves equate with Indian [[yoga]].<ref name="Derzhavarus-yujism"/> ''Yuj'' is the expansion of human consciousness that is triggered by becoming aware of how the energetic process of reality works by articulating itself into a duality, a positive and a negative stream — or rather celestial creative-innovative and terrestrial conservative-repetitive stream<ref name="Derzhavarus-head-north">{{cite web|title=Спать надо головой на север |trans-title=You need to sleep with your head to the north |url=https://derzhavarus.ru/spat-golovoj-na-sever.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=14 January 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210415024829/https://derzhavarus.ru/spat-golovoj-na-sever.html |archive-date=15 April 2021}}</ref> — of the universal radiation of Yngly, called respectively ''ha'' (ха) and ''tha'' (тха) and represented by the two possible directions of the ''swastika'', respectively rightwise 卍 and leftwise 卐.<ref name="Derzhavarus-yujism"/> The Ynglists claim that ''tha'' and ''ha'' are the ancient Slavic names of the same dual concept that is known in Chinese thought as [[yin and yang|''yin'' and ''yang'']].<ref name="Derzhavarus-yujism"/> The Ynglist author Trekhlebov asserted that Slavo-Aryans are those who make balance between principles of ''yin'' and ''yang'' by living in harmony with the law of the supreme God.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=85}}

The yujist worldview is schematically represented by the figure of a "flat earth sustained by three elephants, themselves sustained by a turtle which swims in an unlimited ocean": the flat earth represents the twofold structure of perception, ''ha'' and ''tha'' — articulating in all dualities, from "yes–no" to "up–down"; the three elephants symbolise the three dimensions of reality — Yav, Nav and Prav — material, ideal (which realises itself in words) and mystical reality, which are also three forms of being; and the turtle is ''yuj'' itself, that is to say the awakened consciousness, which draws information from the ocean, which represents the infinite energy of God (the Ynglia).<ref name="Derzhavarus-cosmography">{{cite web|title=Земля на трёх слонах |trans-title=Earth on three elephants |url=http://derzhavarus.ru/ploskaya-zemlya-3-slona-cherepaha.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=30 November 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170627212004/http://derzhavarus.ru/ploskaya-zemlya-3-slona-cherepaha.html |archive-date=27 June 2017}}</ref>

Before engaging in yujist practices, an Ynglist believer should always recite the following prayer to his ancestors:<ref name="Derzhavarus-yujism"/>

{{Blockquote|Forefather Rod, progenitors of the heavenly kin! Strengthen my heart in the holy faith, grant me the wisdom of my ancestors, your sons and grandsons. Grant happiness and peace to your peoples, now and ever from century to century.}}

====Ninefold energetic system====
[[File:Ynglist nine energetic centres.svg|thumb|upright=1.0|Representation of the nine energetic centres of the human body]]
According to Ynglist yujism, when the universal energy forms the human body it flows along the [[spinal cord]] and coalesces throughout energetic centres or ''[[chakra]]''s, a concept which the Ynglists claim to belong to the worldview of the ancient Slavo-Aryans and which was later adopted and simplified in [[Indian religions]].<ref name="Derzhavarus-7-chakra">{{cite web|title=7 чакр в восточной системе |trans-title=7 chakras in the Eastern system |url=https://derzhavarus.ru/7-chakr-vostochnoj-sistemy.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=14 January 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210305223251/https://derzhavarus.ru/7-chakr-vostochnoj-sistemy.html |archive-date=5 March 2021}}</ref> The spinal cord is a conductor which has a positive pole (+) receiving the celestial energy flow (''ha'' 卍) from the north pole down through the right side of the body, and a negative pole (-) receiving the terrestrial energy flow (''tha'' 卐) from the south pole up through the left side of the body.<ref name="Derzhavarus-head-north"/><ref name="Derzhavarus-7-chakra"/>

In the Ynglist yujist system there are a total of thirty-seven energetic centres in the human body, of which nine are the fundamental ones which receive the universal energy and the other twenty-eight are ancillary ones which settle the energy received by the nine main ones.<ref name="Derzhavarus-9-chakra">{{cite web|title=9 чакр в славянской системе |trans-title=9 chakras in the Slavic system |url=https://derzhavarus.ru/9-chakr-v-slavyanskoj-sisteme.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=20 January 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210930142258/https://derzhavarus.ru/9-chakr-v-slavyanskoj-sisteme.html |archive-date=30 September 2021}}</ref> The nine energetic centres are divided into three lower ''chakra''s responsible for physical development, three middle ''chakra''s responsible for mental development, and three upper ''chakra''s responsible for spiritual development.<ref name="Derzhavarus-9-chakra"/> The nine energetic centres, from the upper to the lower ones and each with the corresponding colour and musical sound frequency, are:
# ''Istok'' (исток) in the [[coccyx]] region, which receives the material watery energy and information ascending from the south pole, whose colour is black and which vibrates at low infrasound frequencies.
# ''Zarod'' (зарод) in the [[pubis (bone)|pubis]] region, which allocates energy to the generation of life, whose colour is red and which vibrates at the note Do..
# ''Zhivot'' (живот) in the [[abdomen]] region, which allocates energy to physical development, whose colour is orange and which vibrates at the note Re.
# ''Persi'' (перси) in the [[thorax]] region, which allocates energy to creativity, whose colour is yellow and which vibrates at the note Mi.
# ''Lada'' (лада) in the right [[shoulder]], which allocates energy to love and goodness, whose colour is green, which vibrates at the note Fa, and which is also known as the "solar breath".
# ''Lelya'' (леля) in the left shoulder, which allocates energy to intuition, whose colour is azure, which vibrates at the note Sol, and which is also known as the "lunar breath".
# ''Usta'' (уста) in the [[throat]] region, which allocates energy to the vocal expression of thought, whose colour is blue and which vibrates at the note La.
# ''Chelo'' (чело) in the [[forehead]] region, which allocates energy to the figurative expression of thought and to vision, whose colour is purple and which vibrates at the note Si.
# ''Rodnik'' (родник), in the [[crown (anatomy)|crown]] region, which receives the spiritual fiery energy and information descending from the north pole, from the gods and the ancestors, whose colour is white and which vibrates at high ultrasound frequencies.<ref name="Derzhavarus-9-chakra"/>

The universal energy flowing through the centres of the human body converges into a point in the region of the [[heart]] where the two polarities of the flux — the rightwise masculine fiery energy of the north pole (''ha'') and the leftwise feminine watery energy of the south pole (''tha'') — become harmonised, and the thus reunified energy unfolds as a spinning cross represented by the Ynglist symbol of the ''svadebnik'' (свадебник, "wedding").<ref name="Derzhavarus-9-chakra"/> The energetic flux and its informations would also be conveyed by channels of the blood system; the different human races — black, red, gray, yellow and white — would have different functions in reality based on different configurations of the energetic channels of their blood — respectively six, nine, ten, twelve and sixteen channels, arranged in different shapes.<ref name="Derzhavarus-blood"/><ref name="Derzhavarus-interaction-peoples">{{cite web|title=Образное взаимодействие между народами |trans-title=Descriptive interaction between peoples |url=https://derzhavarus.ru/obraznoe-vzaimodejstvie-narodov.html|website=Derzhava Rus |date=13 October 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125141717/https://derzhavarus.ru/obraznoe-vzaimodejstvie-narodov.html |archive-date=25 January 2021}}</ref> In gray-generated mixlings there would be a predominance of the feminine watery polarity on the masculine fiery polarity as typical of the gray race, and the energetic channels would be unstable, so that the flux of the universal energy would be disrupted giving rise to degenerative and self-destructive physical and mental flaws.<ref name="Derzhavarus-blood"/><ref name="Derzhavarus-interaction-peoples"/>

====Ninefold bodily system====
According to Ynglist yujism, the human body — created by the nine ''chakra''s conveying the flux of the universal energy — also exists energetically on nine levels, of which one representation is the traditional Russian ''[[matryoshka doll|matryoshka]]'' doll made of nine wooden figures placed one inside the other in decreasing size.<ref name="Derzhavarus-9-bodies">{{cite web|title=Матрёшка — 9 тел человека |trans-title=Matryoshka — 9 human bodies |url=https://derzhavarus.ru/7-chakr-vostochnoj-sistemy.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=14 January 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210305223251/https://derzhavarus.ru/7-chakr-vostochnoj-sistemy.html |archive-date=5 March 2021}}</ref> Of the nine energetic bodies, three are in the Yav physical dimension and together constitute what is commonly referred to as the "body" (тело, ''telo''), three are in the Nav astral-mental dimension and together constitute what is commonly referred to as the "soul" (душа, ''dusha''), and three are in the Prav supra-mental dimension and together constitute what is commonly referred to as the "spirit" (дух, ''dukh'').<ref name="Derzhavarus-9-bodies"/>

The bodies of Yav are:
# The "explicit body" (явное тело, ''yavnoye telo''), which is the densest material body.
# The "protective body" (защитное тело, ''zashchitnoye telo''), which is the thin layer around the material body which protects it.
# The "mensural body" (мерное тело, ''mernoye telo''), which contains the former two functioning like a structural mould.<ref name="Derzhavarus-9-bodies"/>

The bodies of Nav are:
# The "astral body" (астральное тело, ''astral'noye telo''), which is the body that a person has on the plane of the stars to move between them.
# The "mental body" (ментальное тело, ''mental'noye telo''), which is the body that a person makes as an image of thought to move on such plane.
# The "causal body" (каузальное тело, ''kausal'noye telo''), which is the body moulded by contexts and relations in which a person finds itself on such plane.<ref name="Derzhavarus-9-bodies"/>

The bodies of Prav are:
# The "body of the soul" (тело души, ''telo dushi''), which is the highest energetic essence created by Dzhiva present in all the dimensions but especially linking the astral-mental dimension to the spiritual supra-mental dimension.
# The "body of the form" (тело формы, ''telo formy''), which is the highest formal essence imparted by the celestial gods.
# The "body of the spirit" (тело духа, ''telo dukha''), the essence corresponding to the state of identification with the light of the utmost God itself.<ref name="Derzhavarus-soul-cycle"/><ref name="Derzhavarus-9-bodies"/>

====''Krugolet'' and ''kologod''====
Ynglism proposes a unique structure of time which differs from that of other branches of Rodnovery and which Aleksandr Khinevich claimed to be a genuine Slavic calendar.{{sfn|Shnirelman|2007|p=52}} It is used by the Ynglists for organising their life and their divine liturgies.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=127}} It is based on great cycles of 144 years — ''krugolet'' (круголет), literally "circle flight", personified as '''[[Chislobog]]''' —, with each year beginning on 20 September on the autumn equinox, consisting of nine months of forty or forty-one days subdivided in weeks of nine days, with each day consisting of sixteen hours, each hour consisting of 144 minutes, and each minute of further subdivisions.{{sfnm|1a1=Gaidukov|1y=2000|1p=127|2a1=Shnirelman|2y=2007|2p=52}}<ref name="Ynglism-calendar">{{cite web|title=Славянские названия месяцев |trans-title=Slavic names of the months|url=http://derzhavarus.ru/slavyanskie-nazvaniya-mesyacev.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=18 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170621212830/http://derzhavarus.ru/slavyanskie-nazvaniya-mesyacev.html |archive-date=21 June 2017}}</ref> In the ''krugolet'', years are arranged in groups of sixteen, with fifteen of them constiting of 365 days and the sixteenth year consisting of 369 days.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=127}} Each year also has its own name and associated animal (e.g. White Dog, White Goat, and the like).{{sfn|Shnirelman|2007|p=52}}

According to Ynglist teachings, the "cycle of the year" (кологод, ''kologod'') is itself a phenomenon reflecting the order of the supreme God, that is to say its active manifestation, Yngly.<ref name="Ynglism-calendar"/> Each month's name may be written as a compound of two Ynglist runes, of which the first rune is either ''Ay'' (Ай), ''Bey'' (Бэй), ''Gey'' (Гэй), ''Day'' (Дай), ''E'' (Э), ''Vey'' (Вэй), ''Xey'' / ''Khey'' (Хей), or ''Tay'' (Тай), reflecting basic sounds in Indo-European tongues and representing the natural characteristics manifesting in the given month.<ref name="Ynglism-calendar"/> The second rune in the names is always the rune [[File:Ynglist Let rune.svg|20px]] ''Let'' (Летъ), which means "year" as well as "summer", as the months are phases of the year which comes to its full maturity in summer.<ref name="Ynglism-calendar"/> The only exception to this rule is the first month, Ramkhat (Рамхатъ), whose name refers to the beginning of Ra-M-Kha's ordering action, Yngly, represented by the ''swastika''-like first rune and extending as the entire year.<ref name="Ynglism-calendar"/>

====Holidays====
Ynglists respect eight holidays throughout the year.<ref name="Derzhavarus-kologod"/> They are arranged in the cycle of the year, symbolically identified as the ''[[Alatyr (mythology)|Alatyr]]'', and they correspond to the eight gods (laws) of Yngly reflected by the cycle of the Sun.<ref name="Derzhavarus-kologod"/> Holidays are called "thresholds" (порог, ''porog'') and they mark the beginning of the various phases of the year.<ref name="Derzhavarus-kologod"/> The action of each god begins to influence nature two weeks before the entry in each new phase, and in these two weeks of "entrance to the holiday" the Ynglists purify themselves in both mind and body.<ref name="Derzhavarus-kologod"/> There are also overarching phases: the phase between the holidays of Kolyada and Kupalo is that of the blossoming of masculine forces, while the phase between Lelya and Mokosh is that of the blossoming of feminine forces.<ref name="Derzhavarus-kologod"/> The threshold of Perun marks a period of quiescence of all forces, while the subsequent Mara is a phase that is unfavourable for both the polarities of nature.<ref name="Derzhavarus-kologod"/> Each holiday and the period which it opens has appropriate ritual actions to be carried out in order to remain in tune with the cycle of the year.<ref name="Derzhavarus-kologod"/> The Ynglists believe that if one behaves incorrectly, that is to say not in harmony with the rites (ряд, ''ryad'') which follow the natural rhythm of the year, his own biorhythm, connection with the ancestors, and life cycle are disrupted, he becomes unhealthy and gets old quickly.<ref name="Derzhavarus-kologod"/>

|- bgcolor="#F0E0F0"
| '''Lelya''' || Spring equinox. The Lelya threshold marks the beginning of the period when masculine and feminine forces are perfectly aligned, love blossoms and they begin to exchange energies with each other. Men and women dance in circles, the former clockwise and the latter counterclockwise, so to look into the eyes of each other; energy is believed to be transmitted through the eyes and the hands. This is also the phase for putting projects into matter.<ref name="Derzhavarus-kologod"/> || March–April
|- bgcolor="#F0E0F0"
| '''Yarilo''' || The Yarilo threshold marks the phase when powers sprout vehemently, ardently (яриться, ''yaritsya''). In nature, everything starts to grow powerfully. This is the right time for merrymaking, games and feasts, and is a period of great inspiration and creativity.<ref name="Derzhavarus-kologod"/> || May–mid June

| '''Kupalo''' || Summer solstice. This is the threshold when the Sun reaches its brightest stage, and forces, both masculine and feminine, reach their highest strength.

|- bgcolor="#F0FFD0"
| '''Perun''' || This is the threshold that marks the full maturity of males, but also the beginning of the decline of masculine forces, while women are in bloom. On the day of Perun men show their skills with weapons and in crafts, while afterwards they dedicate themselves to contemplation, hunting and fishing. On the same day, boys undergo a ritual of initiation into men.<ref name="Derzhavarus-kologod"/> || August
|- bgcolor="#FFE0F0"
| '''Mokosh''' || Autumn equinox. Mokosh is the goddess of fate. This threshold marks a phase of introspection, as the year is coming to its end. Men examine their actions carried out during the outgoing year, in order to be transformed for the forthcoming year. The day of Mokosh is celebrated with a ritual consisting in taking a handful of soil, reckoning an action, be it good or bad, and giving it back to the Earth forming a raised circle of soil, then lighting a "bonfire of fate" or a candle in such circle which will purify all the year's actions. Another ritual with the same meaning consists of hanging a thread to the branch of a tree and then walking around the tree, men clockwise and women counterclockwise, twisting a spiral while shouting out what happened during the year.<ref name="Derzhavarus-kologod"/> || September–October
|- bgcolor="#F0F0E0"
| '''Mara''' || This threshold marks the death of the Sun and the triumph of the chthonic goddess Marena, the primordial mother. Sensitive people are tendentially depressed in this phase. However, things die only in body, while thought continues to work and concentrates to be reborn in the new year. This makes this phase propitious for study and understanding divine knowledge.<ref name="Derzhavarus-kologod"/> || November

===Symbolism and numerology===
[[File:Oberezhnik coloured.svg|thumb|upright=1.0|The star of Yngly]]
The ''[[swastika]]'' — the hooked cross, whose [[Sanskrit]] name means "well being" — is a very important symbol in Ynglism, with fifty variations in Ynglist symbolism and twelve in Aleksey Trekhlebov's teachings.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=103}} In Ynglism it represents the Ynglia, the fiery radiance enlivening and ordering everything in the universe, personified as Yngly; hence it is also called the "image of Yngly" and it is considered the first written symbol of humanity,<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism"/> as well as the foremost symbol of the Slavo-Aryans, and of the defence of their lands and their faith.{{sfn|Shnirelman|2017b|p=90}} Its many variations symbolise the various forms of life which are generated in accordance with Yngly — the patterns of the gods of planets, earthly weather phenomena, classes of entities, and so on.<ref name="Derzhavarus-symbols">{{cite web|title=Обереги славян |trans-title=Slavic symbols |url=http://derzhavarus.ru/solyarnye-svastichnye-simvoly.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=21 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170621220928/http://derzhavarus.ru/solyarnye-svastichnye-simvoly.html |archive-date=21 June 2017}}</ref>

Besides the ''swastika'', another important symbol in Ynglism is the nine-pointed "star of Yngly" (звезда Инглии, ''zvezda Yngly''), also called ''oberezhnik'' (обережник, symbol of the "guardian") and ''mati-gotka'' (мати-готка, "ready mother") in popular tradition, referring to matter ready to be ordained by the divine force.<ref name="Derzhavarus-symbols"/> The Ynglia itself is often represented at the centre the star as a hooked cross, a thunder (Perun) or as a sword.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism-summary"/> The star of Yngly also represents the harmonised man (Aryan).<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism-summary"/> The three intersecting triangles represent the three worlds of traditional Slavic cosmology (Prav, Yav and Nav), the ''Triglav'' manifestations within each of them, but also spirit, body and soul on the human plane.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism-summary"/> The circle surrounding the triangles represents the Ynglia itself, and also human consciousness awakened by the cognition of Yngly, while the infinite space beyond the circle is God's infinite potentiality.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism-summary"/> The three triangles also represent the elements of earth, water and fire, while the circle represents air and the infinite space beyond it represents the infinite Heaven (''Svarga'').<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism-summary"/>

While Rodnovery generally rejects [[numerology]] and forms of [[Middle Ages|medieval]] [[magic (supernatural)|magic]] if numbers are conceived as abstract and not connected with objects of the real world, it accepts such practices if the numbers are seen in webs of symbolism with objects, as manifesting in objects of the real world.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=97}} Ynglism is one of the denominations of Rodnovery in which numerical symbolism is best systematised.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=97}} Particularly important symbolic numbers in Ynglism are: the number 3, which symbolises the triads of deities, especially the great ''Triglav'' of Svarog-Perun-Svetovid;{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=99}} the number 8, double of 4, which symbolises the four seasons of the year and the four horizontal divisions of space, both with four intermediate stages;{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=101}} the number 33, which is the number of the commandments of the celestial deities;{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=102}} and the number 108, which is the number of all possible sins.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=102}} There are also numbers symbolically associated to the divisions of time: the number 9, which symbolises the nine months of the Ynglist year and the nine days of the Ynglist week;{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=102}} the number 16, which symbolises the sixteen hours of the Ynglist day;{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=102}} the number 40, which symbolises the forty days of each Ynglist even month;{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=102}} the number 144, which is the number of minutes of the Ynglist hour and of years in the great cycles of the Ynglist calendar;{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=102}} and the number 369, which is the number of days in a year.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=102}}
