The name “Celtic” was given to those types of knots and stylized designs that served a decorative function among the ancient Celts. Mostly church monuments with manuscripts were painted with Celtic knots. Notable examples include the Book of Kells, the 8th-century Lichfield Gospel and the Lindisfarne Gospel. It was from that time that their spread began across different countries and cultures of the world.
The earliest interlocking patterns first appeared during the Roman Empire. And by the 3-4th century, a special form of art was formed from knotted ornaments, which was soon embodied in the form of decorating mosaic floors. Celtic patterns were very popular in the architecture of Ancient Byzantium, as well as in the art of the Celts, Copts and Islamists.

What do the different Celtic symbols mean?
At the first glance at the mysterious Celtic ornaments, the soul is filled with a very unusual feeling - they attract the eye and simply fascinate. All symbols are not just drawings, but ordinary abstractions, and each symbol has its own meaning.
Below are examples of basic Celtic symbols:
- Cross. The cross, to which a circle is added, has a deep meaning. It symbolizes the harmonious combination of all 4 elements or directions of light. At the bottom, the cross always expands - this indicates the increasing needs of a person. The symbol of the cross also exists in the Christian religion and paganism. In the latter he is personified with the energy of the sun. There is an opinion that the Celtic cross is able to protect against the negative effects of evil spirits and fill its owner with life wisdom.
- Butterfly - personifies the human soul, and also correlates with the theme of rebirth after death and change.
- Tree of Life. In Celtic culture, a tree was depicted as arms that reach towards the sky at the top and resemble roots at the bottom. The ancient Celts always believed in the existence of parallel realities. The Tree of Life symbolizes the unification of ordinary life, life in the higher worlds and the underworld.
- Heart - even the avid Celtic warriors were inherent in romance. So, they have a heart symbol, which is drawn as one continuous line. The heart symbolizes the union of two souls.
- Trefoil (or trixel). It appears very often in Celtic symbolism. The trefoil will indicate the unification of the earth, water and fire elements. It has very strong protective abilities; it will make its owner more successful, lucky and rich.
- Spirals. They are always triple. The spiral signifies eternity, unceasing spiritual growth, as well as harmony between the physical and spiritual.
The Celts were of the opinion that all ornaments are formed by the Threads of Life, and it is unacceptable to change the patterns, because they were given to us by the gods from above. Symbols were carved on stone, also engraved on metal media, and used to decorate books.
At this point in time, Celtic patterns are applied to amulets and amulets. They are also often used in the form of tattoos. Before you decide to settle on one or another Celtic style, it would be a good idea to carefully study the true meaning of the signs. After all, using magical symbols, you inevitably influence your destiny.
History of the symbol
The first mention of Celtic knots dates back to 450 AD, during the early Christian period. Their images can be seen in many surviving pieces of art and ancient manuscripts. But some historians believe that the technique of weaving knots was invented much earlier: similar symbols are found in the design of architectural elements during the Byzantine Empire.
It is generally accepted that the early pre-Christian religion of the Celts was similar to Islam in a number of respects. It was forbidden to depict animals, people and other living creatures: only abstract symbols were allowed to be drawn. From this point of view, Celtic knots arose for the same reason as Arabic calligraphy.
As the Celts spread across Europe and mixed with other peoples, the symbols changed, adapting to the local culture. Images of twisted knots can be found in Ethiopian art, Russian book illustrations of the Middle Ages and Icelandic chronicles. They were used longest in what is now Scotland, where wealthy aristocrats paid generously for jewelry decorated with Celtic knots.
Types of Celtic Knots
Let's look at the most commonly used types of Celtic knots.
Protection node
The ancient Celts decorated their homes with similar amulets in order to protect themselves from any misfortunes. In addition, the sacred sign was used on military weapons: it was applied to shields for battle and to the bodies of the warriors themselves. They believed that the symbol had powerful life-affirming energy.
There was also an opinion that the protective knot removes any illness or evil eye from a person and provides protection from all diseases.
As a rule, protective knots were hung near the front door (so that evil could not enter the home) or above the bed (in this case, the knot provided sweet dreams for the family).
Celtic love knot
It symbolizes the unification of male and female energy, thanks to which the birth of new forms becomes possible, which also “mate” with each other and contribute to the birth of subsequent ones.
The love knot indicates the union of two souls and can help lovers maintain their feelings over many years. If both in a couple have such an amulet, it means that no one can separate them.
There is also a second meaning of the knot of love - the symbol harmoniously combines the mind, body and spirit.
It should be noted that in reality there are no specific shapes that indicate that certain types of knots symbolize love. All this is determined by the human subconscious. For this reason, a heart consciously woven into a trefoil is associated with the manifestation of love in all the highest senses of the word.
Closed nodes in their various manifestations and forms represent infinity, which is clothed in certain qualities of the divine nature. Therefore, they are often used, for example, in black magic, when they want to consolidate some negative qualities, enclosed in a closed knot in an endless series of troubles. To explain this more simply, in practice, the same events begin to repeat in a person’s life, dressed in different external forms.
This article is devoted to the topic of weaving magical knots (nauzs) to attract love. Here you will learn how to ignite passion in a relationship with the help of a love knot - the science of passion. And also, what materials are needed, when to do it, how to weave and how to charge.
“They are tied to each other, their connection, tied together, connected by one goal, intertwining of legs...” - these and similar expressions are a kind of allegory of weaving knots, the magic of which created and maintained strong bonds between lovers. “Knots” connect people in life: in the literal and figurative sense, they always exist. Regardless of whether doing specific ritual actions or performing certain actions in a relationship, a person, one way or another, ties or unties “knots” along his path. In general, everyone achieves what they want in their own way, including by resorting to the help of knot magic...
Knot magic in pre-Christian times was especially often used in matters of love, fulfilling the most secret desires and uniting the destinies of people. Thus, in the poetry of the Ancient East, the story of an Arab girl who fell in love with a certain shepherd was preserved. Wanting to win his love and tie him to her, she tied knots on his whip while her rival, without losing her vigilance, constantly untied them.
The Romans believed that the very first knot was made by Hercules himself. According to historians, they had a wedding custom in which the bride tied her belt with a Herculean knot, which the groom had to untie on the first wedding night. It was believed that if the groom managed to untie the knot easily and quickly, then this was a sign of fate, which foreshadowed the blessing of the newlyweds for love and healthy offspring.
In early English literature, the so-called “faithful lover’s knot” was widespread. It can also be found in the old English ballad “Beautiful Margaret and Handsome William” of the 16th century. After death, the lovers were buried nearby. It so happened that a wonderful rose grew from the chest of a woman in love, and a scarlet rose hip grew from the chest of a man in love. These plants grew high, reaching to the skies, and were intertwined in a “faithful lover’s knot,” which delighted the people who saw it.
In many nations, the union of lovers is identified with a knot. Thus, at present, at a wedding, the tradition of tying the newlyweds’ hands with a special towel has been preserved so that their union is strong. Since there is a certain energetic connection between lovers, using the threads of this connection, you can influence the development of the relationship, attracting attention and creating favorable conditions for happy love. For this there are sciences of love.
Love sciences are used for such needs as: attracting new love into life, preserving and strengthening the love that already exists, for fidelity, for inseparability, for falling in love, for reciprocity, for flirting, for inciting passion, for love spells and love spells.
In this case, we will look at an example of weaving a knot of passion. Such knowledge will be useful not only for that married couple in whose relationship complete calm reigns, and the memories of past passion go far into the years. This knowledge can enhance the passionate attraction and desire between a pair of lovers who recently united their lives into one. If you want to enhance your feelings, add a touch of new, previously unknown feelings to them and simply strengthen your love, then connect yourself and your soul mate with a knot of passion.
Knot of Passion
Example
Material: Two long cords (it is advisable to take those cords that both spouses wore, for example, from shoes, you can make a cord from old clothes), one of which will symbolize you, and the other your loved one.
Day: Friday.
Moon: Waxing (see lunar calendar).
Weaving pattern
1. Make a loop as in the picture:
2. Take the second cord and place it under the loop of the first; place the lower end of the second cord over the first cord (number 1 in the figure)
3. Pass the lower end of the 2nd cord clockwise: 1st time under, 2nd time over, 3rd time under and 4th time over
4. Tighten the cords. As a result, you will end up with a node like this:
Weave a knot with the thought that you are weaving your heart and body and that of your other half into strong love and burning passion. To enhance the effect, the lace can be anointed with ginger essential oil, which attracts love and lust.
After the knot is tied, its long ends are cut off and stored in a secluded place. A tied knot should be worn near your heart for seven days (or more), and then you should give the knot to your loved one or put it with his things. During the entire time that the knot remains with you, every morning and every evening you need to touch it with your hand and say, mentally turning to your soul mate: “When the sun rises, my love will be with me. When it sets, I will be with her .
At the moment when the opportunity arises to give away the knot, mentally say three times: “Know everything - now we have one love for two . A “passion” knot created with your own hands, being next to your loved one, will not only preserve your feelings, but also maintain an emotional connection on a subtle energy level.

Features of use
You cannot brag or talk about wearing an amulet. The purpose of tying knots must also be kept secret.
Features of wearing two hats at the same time
It is allowed to wear several amulets at the same time. Our ancestors put on magical amulets in pairs so that they complemented and enhanced each other's effects. Their properties and ability to combine should be taken into account.
It is prohibited to combine details belonging to different cultures.
Which hand should I wear it on?
There are no specific recommendations for wearing magic knots. They are worn on any honor of the body. Only the owner decides whether to put it on public display. To block the dark channel, the amulet is put on the left hand. To fulfill a cherished desire, it is worn on the right hand. Depending on the purpose, the color of the threads is selected.
Do I need to speak and charge?
Before making the amulet, the threads are charged. To do this, stock up on 4 red or white wax candles and a white cloth. The cloth is spread on the table, candles are placed in the shape of a cross. Place a skein of thread in the middle. Light candles and read the plot 3 times at short intervals. The threads are left between the candles for 30 minutes. The charged ball is wrapped in cloth. They hide it until they start weaving the talisman.
Slavic magic draws its powers from natural elements. Honoring Earth, Water, Air and Fire helps a person cope with troubles. In nature, amulets charge better. A particularly favorable time for replenishing their strength is summer, when the energy of the Sun reaches its highest point.
Our ancestors believed in their strength. Magic knots heal, give success and wealth. They do not like a frivolous, frivolous attitude towards themselves. They help only those who sincerely believe in them.
Slavic sciences - what are they?
The weaving techniques of Slavic nauzs are not very well preserved due to persecution by the Christian church. However, part of the knowledge of our ancestors has reached the modern descendants of the ancient Slavs. An important science of the past is weaving. This technique, if mastered, can preserve health, protect against damage or the evil eye, attract good luck and money, and help in relationships.
Our ancestors wove a wide variety of subjects into sciences. These were metals, figures with their own meanings, symbols of the Gods, plants and minerals. Each of them has its own meaning. If you know the meanings of stones, herbs and other magical components, you can try to compile a set of components for the nauz yourself. By combining them, you can get different meanings of Slavic knot amulets. You can lubricate the nouzs with oils from time to time - this will eliminate the need to weave plants.
You shouldn’t weave too much into the science; two or three types of plants or other components will be enough. A person can have several knotted talismans for all occasions, but it is not advisable to wear them all at once.
To create objects, it is better to choose natural materials. Natural threads contain a piece of nature, which cannot be said about synthetics. You can weave nauzas from ribbons, ropes, threads, bunches of plants and even hair.
From time to time they need to be exposed to the sun or moon rays - it depends on the specifics of the talisman. For example, the Money Tree requires solar energy, and the science of love and female attractiveness requires lunar energy.
It would be a good idea to weave knots in nature or in places of power. Even if you only have a summer cottage within the city, it will be better suited than an apartment. When weaving, nothing should distract. Conspiracies or other words are spoken continuously, from the very beginning of the creation of the node until the work is completed.
