Talismans are made from natural materials: leather, metal, wood. Including colored wool threads. A particularly powerful amulet - made with your own hands. Over time, the original protective role of such a talisman was leveled out and simplified to decoration. But lately there has been a revival of interest in woolen amulets.
What is the essence of the amulet?
The most common amulet made from thread is red woolen thread. It originates in the teachings of Kabbalah. American pop diva Madonna adheres to this teaching and wears such an amulet for many years. In addition, in ancient times, after the birth of a baby, his umbilical cord was cut with a red thread. This indicates that there is a deep meaning hidden in this color.
Later, threads of other colors began to be woven onto the hand. Moreover, each of them has its own unique meaning, which will be discussed below. In addition, the method of tying the amulet on the wrist varies:
- Normal wrap around the hand
- Braided braids
- Thread patterns
- Baubles

Why do you need do-it-yourself amulets using threads? Since ancient times, even among the Slavs, they were called upon to attract good luck, love and, of course, protect their owner. Despite the positive meaning of such a talisman, the church opposes such body jewelry. This is worth considering if you are a deeply religious person.
Technique for making the amulet
How to properly make a talisman from a thread? Firstly, it is worth saying that the thread tied to the wrist must be strong, because it must be worn constantly. There is an opinion that a torn thread indicates that the amulet has fulfilled its purpose and should be disposed of. For this reason, use several folded threads at the same time.
If you follow the classical technique, the loose ends need to be tied with exactly seven knots, this number is considered karmic. In addition, it is better if someone close to you ties the amulet, that is, it is not recommended to do this with your own hands. It is important to say the words of prayer while tying:
I tie the first knot - I talk about myself, with the second I wish happiness, the third I ask for love, on the fourth I talk about health, the fifth knot I tie - I talk about the mind, on the sixth I will not finish, I will ask for strength for myself, and on the seventh I will tie and I will ask for wisdom.
It is important while reading the words to think about how you will feel when all your dreams come true. If thoughts are directed in the right direction, the thread will work.
It is worth saying that excess thread should be thrown away; it has negative energy. Some sorcerers and magicians recommend not just throwing them away, but burning them in a fire.
