Red woolen thread is a talisman against evil and disease. What is the red thread on the wrist for?

Undoubtedly, many have wondered why celebrities lately tie red threads on themselves left wrist? What is this, an accessory, a talisman, or simply a distinctive sign of a clan of red bracelet lovers?

This is to blame for the religious teaching that has recently quickly gained popularity in the West (in show business, many have taken the example of Madonna) and is gradually taking over Russia - Kabbalah.

To distinguish a true Kabbalist from ordinary person not so easy. Rest assured, 90% of Russians with a red thread on their wrist will not be able to explain to you what it is for. Meanwhile, according to the teachings of Kabbalists, the red thread is a powerful energetic agent, capable of influencing the behavior and fate of a person who has undergone a ritual ceremony, protecting him from negativity and helping him achieve what is destined for him by fate.

A red thread is tied to left hand, since it is believed that negative energy enters us from the left. The left hand receives, the right hand gives, and the red thread is an obstacle to negativity. By the way, as you know, red is the color of danger, this also matters. Kabbalists believe that in order for a thread to begin to act, it must be tied in a certain way: it should be tied by a person with whom you have strong mutual love and whom you completely trust - usually these are parents, grandparents or other people close to you. While the thread is being tied, you should read a prayer or simply ask for compassion, kindness and protection from the evil eye.

The catch is that you can’t buy this thread in a sewing store; you have to go to Israel to get it, to the small southern town of Netivot, where it is obtained by cutting into small pieces the thread that was used to wrap the tomb of one of the ancestors of the Jewish family of Rachel. An easier option is to buy it at Kabbalah centers, which are located in many Russian cities.

In the recent past, threads were believed to be an excellent alternative to healers. They are treated by tying them on the patient’s wrists and ankles. The thread should be wool, red in color - to quickly restore normal blood circulation.

My grandmother, when she was still a little girl, once suffered from malaria. The illness was very difficult, and her mother turned to Nikolai Ugodnik with prayers for help. Nikolai came to her in a dream and told her what needed to be done - take a thread, tie seventy-seven knots on it and perform a certain ritual, while reciting the words of a saving prayer. On the second day, the grandmother felt much better, and soon the illness completely disappeared.

In ancient times, the knot was given magical significance. It was believed that different knots act differently, tying and untying knots is good and evil people brings the opposite results. IN Northern Europe sailors, going out to sea, bought bunches from old witches good winds- cut ropes tied into a knot, over each of which a specific spell is pronounced.

The tradition of wearing chains, which modern ladies love so much, was born in time immemorial. Her likeness was worn by the vanquished - the ruler who recognized himself as dependent on a larger and more powerful one. The new ruler gave the vanquished a chain around his neck as a symbol of his superiority.

To make a chain-amulet, you need to take a strap or rope, visually mark the middle and start tying knots in this place one on top of the other. The shape of the nodes is not important, the main thing is the energy that you transfer to the node, the main thing is what you are thinking about at that time. Thus, you need to tie two knots on top of the first. This amulet can be worn in an inside pocket, on a belt or on the neck.

A thread tied in a knot is the most ancient amulet. Our grandmothers wear it themselves, and they also knit the most ordinary red woolen thread for their children and grandchildren and believe that it can protect against the evil eye no worse than newfangled overseas things.

Some people pin a pin under their outer clothing for the same purpose and also believe. They believe.
