Amulet Red thread

What is the red thread, and how is it connected to Jerusalem?

The red thread is a strong talisman. The first tie was taken from the coffin wrapped with it, the ancient mother of the Jews - Rachel. She devoted her life to prayer, protecting people and begging the Lord for their sins. But Rachel’s main task was to protect her children from everything evil and bad. She strove to prevent sin and led a righteous life in the name of saving the souls of her children. Until her death, Rachel remained faithful to God's laws and taught people to live in peace following the commandments. After her death, she was awarded the title of saint and her relics are revered as a shrine. A red thread was wrapped around her coffin, and thus this woolen thread gained positive energy. Later the winding was removed and cut into pieces. Today, threads can be bought from the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Naturally, they are no longer removed from the tomb of Saint Rachel, but they say that they also have powerful energy, because they are also applied to the tomb of the ancestress. The red band must be worn on the left hand. Kabbalists believe that it is through the left hand that negativity comes to a person, and by putting a red thread on it, we become protected. The monks say that if you wear a red woolen string tied with seven knots, then:

the person will be protected from the evil eye;
things will go uphill;
helps you find the right path in life;
helps in making the right decisions;
is able to positively influence a person’s behavior and thoughts;
helps a person develop;
helps in the treatment of diseases;
gives success and prosperity.

The red thread can be worn by people of different religions

The red thread can be worn by people of different religions. The main thing, according to Kabbalists, is complete abstinence from negativity and bad thoughts. And so, such a bandage does not impose any obligations on its owner.

How many knots do you need to tie on a red thread according to the beliefs of the Slavic people?

The red woolen thread as a protective amulet and wish-fulfilling talisman existed not only among the Jews. The ancient Slavic peoples also tied it for themselves. Our ancestors used the thread, just like the Kabbalists, for protection. The ancient Slavs tied a red thread on the hands of children in order to ward off evil spirits from them. And adults and children began to tie a red thread on their wrists to make a wish for each of the knots. But not many knew how to tie knots correctly. According to the ancestors, tying knots should have happened in harmony. A good mood was important because not only well-thought-out dreams, but also any thoughts were attached to the knots. Therefore, it is important to concentrate all your attention on desire. In this the ancient Slavs are no different from their contemporaries. In ancient times, mothers tied a thread around the wrist of their child, and with each of the knots, and there were exactly seven knots in total, they were sentenced not to cry, not to get sick, to obey, and many other sentences. Rachel's followers still do this today.

According to one version, the ritual of tying knots on the Red Thread has another explanation. So the ancient Slavs embroidered patterns on clothes with red thread, this was also supposed to get rid of evil spirits. Our ancestors also wove jewelry around the neck, they were called nauz. The thread was hung with knots and beads, plants and roots were woven into it, and knots were knitted, exactly seven pieces. Sciences were knitted for different purposes. Someone could tie knots at random, and others to attract love or to gain wealth, and to gain good health. In some regions, they generally said that everyone would decide for themselves how many knots to tie. But still, it was necessary to know when to stop. The thing is that the manuscripts that contain knowledge about the ancient pantheon of Slavic Gods do not contain information about how many knots need to be tied. But, nevertheless, they say that your desires must be strictly controlled.

Even in ancient times, at the birth of a child, the umbilical cord was tied with a red thread. Most often, the mother made the first tie on the child’s hand; they said that in this way an evil spirit or some other disease would not enter the child.

Now the thread is used for protection

You need to sincerely believe that everything will work out for you, that you will be protected from the evil eye, and that your desires will be fulfilled. A red thread is tied only on the left wrist. This is very important, because the science of energy claims that it is with the left hand that a person receives all the energy, both bad and good. You cannot tie the thread yourself. In this case, it will have no effect. You need to ask a loved one for help. This could be a relative, friend, spouse. It doesn’t matter who exactly will tie the knots on the thread. But this person must sincerely love you and wish you only the best, then the thread will gain its strength.

You need to tie it with seven knots. The tied thread will already act and protect you. But, if you want to make a wish, then this must be done at the moment of tying the thread. They say that you can make as many wishes as there are knots in a thread. It is important, at the moment of making a wish, to imagine it in detail, as if to visualize the desire in your head. Having imagined one desire in detail, proceed to the next. Ask the person tying your knots to take their time and tell them when you are ready to move on to the next wish. The one who ties the thread on your wrist can read a prayer of protection at this moment. This will give the thread strength. After tying the thread, its ends should be cut off and then burned.
