The red thread from Jerusalem is a magical attribute that protects a person from the evil eye. It is a legacy of the ancient mystical and philosophical teaching of Kabbalah, which arose in the 12th-13th centuries. It serves as the basis of Judaism. Socio-political and religious movements are based on it, especially Hasidism and Zionism. Sometimes prophetic books are called Kabbalah. In the modern world, mystical and philosophical teachings are very popular. The red thread from Jerusalem has its own backstory and is an integral attribute of the teaching.
The power of the Jerusalem thread
It is worn on the wrist of the left hand by Jews and Kabbalists. It is believed that red woolen threads were used to wrap the coffin of the ancestor of the Jews, Rachel. The tomb has survived to this day and is located in Jerusalem. According to followers of Kabbalah, a red thread that touches a woman’s tomb acquires enormous power and can protect against the evil eye, damage, bad thoughts and other troubles. It improves health and helps a person find the right path in life.
The talisman has become widely popular relatively recently. The fashion for wearing “strange” jewelry was brought about by singers Madonna and Britney Spears. After this, the accessory began to be purchased in many countries around the world, including Russia. Of course, you can make a simple talisman yourself, but it is believed that only thread brought from Jerusalem has magical powers. Such talismans are sold en masse at the Western Wall. Their industrial production has been established in Israel. A high price is being asked for the red thread that touched Rachel's tomb.
In Russia, a talisman can be bought in a specialized store or ordered online. But it’s hard to believe that they all visited the tomb of the ancestor of the Jews. Despite this, the popularity of the Kabbalistic attribute is only increasing.
Red thread from Jerusalem with pendant
Since this talisman is a symbol of goodness, love and light, not all pendants are suitable for it. Pendants symbolizing evil and death are prohibited:
- skulls;
- pentagrams;
- pagan symbols of evil gods and more.
These symbols can not only spoil the amulet, but also bring bad luck, illness and even death to its owner.
You should not place religious symbols on the red thread - this is prohibited by the Holy Scriptures. In this case, the entire effect of both the thread and the sacred symbol is lost.
Of course, there are pendants that are allowed to be worn on a red thread, and with their presence they enhance the effect of the talisman, additionally attracting good luck, prosperity, finances, health and longevity. Such pendants include:
- The sign of infinity is a combination of spiritual and material, a movement that never ends. The combination with the red thread of this pendant pushes you to move forward, does not allow you to despair and give up.
- — The evil eye pin on the amulet is double protection against damage, the evil eye and negative energy.
- The tree of life is an accumulator of natural energy, symbolizing the unity of two elements and giving infinity to life.
- Clover is a symbol of good luck and success, as well as mutual love, if partners wear it together.
- The all-seeing eye allows a person to become insightful and see “through” the people around him.
- The horseshoe is a symbol of human happiness.
- The heart , the source of vitality and energy, promotes self-development and conquering new things.
Why is the thread red and wool?
Firstly, this thread was used to wrap Rachel’s coffin in Israel. She can't be different. Secondly, the material and color have a magical meaning.
The color red is associated with strength, energy, power, and strong fortitude. These properties are endowed by Mars, the patron saint of all warriors. The red color present on the human body gives him confidence in his own strength, increases his energy potential, and makes him outwardly attractive.
Wool is a natural material that can accumulate energy. If you say a certain spell over a thread, it becomes magical. In addition, wool symbolizes warmth, peace, and comfort.
What does the red thread save from?
The main purpose of the red thread is protection against the evil eye and damage. It becomes an effective amulet only when another person ties it. In addition, the ancient amulet is credited with the ability to harmonize life around a person and improve his overall well-being. There is an opinion that when a person wears such an amulet, he may not be afraid of the evil eye. As you know, randomly induced negativity is the cause of serious failures in life. When wearing an ancient amulet, improved health and the absence of obstacles on the way to the goal makes a person successful.
How to tie it correctly
For the talisman to work, you need to tie it correctly. If you decide to wear an original amulet against the evil eye and damage, you should follow all the recommendations. The accessory should be tied on the wrist of the left hand. It is believed that negative energy enters the body through this place. If there is a strong amulet there, no negative effects are scary.
Moreover, the talisman is not just tied in a knot, but is done 7 times. Initially, throw the thread on the wrist of the left hand and make one knot. Then they begin to read certain words 6 times. After each one, a subsequent knot is made. There are 7 in total.
Often on the Internet and in Jerusalem itself they sell bracelets with existing knots. They are tied in such a way that they can be adjusted to any hand. The power of such a talisman can be doubted, since there is no certainty that someone read a prayer with each knot. Consequently, the power of the talisman is reduced by 6 times.
Modern people believe in mysticism and magical influence. In the era of global technology, the population of the planet looks more into the times of paganism, Buddhism, Judaism, etc. Almost every inhabitant of our planet has their own talisman, amulet, and believes in the evil eye and corruption. An “unprepared” person can freely become a victim of negative influences. Particularly vulnerable are people who are often physically and psychologically ill. Every bad word, look and even thought clings to a weakened protective shell.

The evil eye most often occurs unconsciously, that is, someone was jealous of the happiness and luck of another person. It is believed that only a mother cannot put the evil eye on her child, and he cannot put the evil eye on her; everyone else can do it. Damage is a purposeful magical ritual. It is much stronger and more difficult to prevent. For protection, a strong amulet is required and a spell or prayer said over it is required. If you tie a red thread on your wrist in compliance with all the rules, you don’t have to fear for your safety.
To fulfill a wish
In fact, few people wear a special talisman for these purposes. Most likely, the fulfillment of a cherished desire becomes a consequence of the protection of the amulet, that is, no one interferes with the fulfillment of the dream. A person confidently moves towards the desired result. Moreover, a red thread from Jerusalem adds self-confidence, enhances energy potential, and directs thoughts in the right direction.
The meaning of the amulet
The red thread is not a harmless fashion accessory; it is characterized as a powerful amulet that carries a Jewish origin.
The attitude of the Orthodox Church towards the talisman is sharply negative
The left hand, according to the teachings of Kabbalah, symbolizes the side of the soul and body that receives and does not give. Therefore, according to Kabbalah, the red thread should be worn on the left wrist so that the person receives maximum energy from the talisman. In this case, the amulet symbolizes the protection of the soul from the negative influence of dark forces.

Is it possible to tie a thread yourself?
It is believed that a loved one should tie a magical attribute. It is not at all necessary that it be a relative. The main thing is to have a feeling of trust in him. The ideal option is if the child is given birth by the mother. Often a wife puts a bracelet on her husband, and he puts it on her. As for whether it is possible to tie a talisman yourself, the answer is generally positive. If there is no one to do this, you are allowed to do it yourself. Moreover, it is not the thread itself that is important, but the words spoken over it. If a person has magical abilities, he is allowed to perform the ritual himself.
Prayers when tying
Since we are talking about the red thread from Jerusalem, and it is an integral attribute of Kabbalah, you need to read a special prayer Ben Porat. A Russian-speaking person will not read it in the original. For such cases there is a translation.
Another option:
The words are simple, the text is small. You can learn a spell and say it every time you tie a knot.
Where to buy a talisman
The red thread serves not only as a reliable amulet against the evil eye. The attribute is an interesting decorative decoration. You can buy it today in different ways.
Order through the online store
Most often, the amulet is ordered from online stores. You can buy original products from Jerusalem there. This means that the amulet will have increased protective properties, since it has undergone the necessary ritual action.
In a temple, church
You cannot purchase an amulet in a Christian temple or church. Church shops do not offer products associated with idolatry. Moreover, if you enter the temple with a red thread, the priest will ask you to remove it.
On the Holy Land
The greatest power is possessed by amulets acquired independently in the Holy Land. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford such a trip.
How and how much to wear
There are no time restrictions. You are allowed to wear it as much as necessary. The desire to make a talisman for yourself, a child or a loved one does not just appear. People begin to feel the influence of magic, negative energy, and want to protect themselves. When this feeling disappears, you can safely remove the accessory without fear of consequences. Only here one interesting point arises. After the talisman has been removed from the hand, the person becomes uneasy. He feels his weakness, defenselessness, vulnerability. You need to tie a new thread in this place or come up with another amulet.
If the amulet was removed and lay in the box for more than a month, when putting it on again, you should read the prayer again.
Who can wear the amulet?
Wearing talismans is not contraindicated for anyone. This is allowed for men and women of different ages, as well as children. Additionally, you can wear bracelets, watches and other jewelry.
On a child's wrist
Children are extremely vulnerable under 7 years of age. Babies suffer from someone else's glance, thought, word. In Orthodoxy, a kind of protection is the baptism of the baby. After the priest performs a certain ritual, the baby can be shown to strangers. In this case, it is not at all necessary to put a cross on the baby’s neck. The fact of baptism itself is important. The red thread on the wrist serves as additional protection and is also necessary for those who, for one reason or another, refuse to have an infant baptized.
A child can wear an amulet at any age. Usually mothers do this when they see that the child is often sick, has envious people, and ill-wishers. In addition, the following can be tied to an amulet:
- grandmother;
- grandfather;
- father;
- aunts, uncles;
- godparents.

Is it possible for Orthodox
In our time, there is not a single person who diligently reveres all the canons of Orthodoxy. Everyone has the right to believe what they want. By definition they call themselves Orthodox, but in reality they are not. We can discuss this topic endlessly. The rules prohibit Orthodox Christians from wearing attributes that are symbols of another faith, in this case Kabbalah. Christianity is full of its various amulets and talismans. But if a person wants to put on the Jerusalem thread and feels that it will help him, no one forbids it.
If you look at the origins of Christianity, the Israelis were considered God's people. Jesus Christ was born from an Israeli woman. Jews actively wear this talisman and distribute it throughout the world. Orthodoxy is a combination of Christianity and pagan religion.
Who is most recommended?
There is a group of people for whom wearing a strong talisman is vital. Those who:
- gets sick often;
- suffers from chronic illness;
- feels other people's gazes on him;
- constantly faces failure;
- cannot arrange his personal life;
- has no friends;
- suffers from nervous disorders;
- experiences poverty.
Children and emotionally weak people especially need protection. It is believed that firstborns are the most resistant to the evil eye, damage and any magical effects, but additional protection will not hurt.
How to make a talisman with your own hands
You can make a talisman with a red thread with your own hands. It is very important to use natural materials and follow the rules during the manufacturing process.
Bracelet made of red wool thread
A bracelet made of red wool thread, according to many, allows you to make your own desire come true. To make the bracelet strong and not break, it is recommended to use red floss threads when making it. You need to weave prepared red wool thread into them. You are allowed to show your imagination and make a bracelet using original artistic weaving methods.
Thin silk thread for good luck with pendant
As a decorative decoration that attracts good luck to life, you can make a bracelet from a thin silk thread with a pendant. It has increased strength, so it will not tear, so it will be worn for a long time. The pendant should be a pebble suitable for the person’s horoscope. If it is a bead, then it is simply threaded through a thread, in other cases it is woven into a braid.
The thread has become unusable
Wool thread is constantly subject to friction. Sooner or later it will wear out. There is nothing surprising. They burn it, and if necessary, tie a new one on the arm. It’s another matter if the thread suddenly breaks or comes undone. What does this mean, what is the best way to proceed?
Loose and untied
Wool thread is actively used in knitting and crocheting. This is a material from which knots are freely knitted. If you tighten them too much, it will be very difficult to untie them, even with maximum effort. When it keeps coming undone, it means one of two things:
- A person is exposed to strong magical effects. We need to think about one more talisman.
- Low quality accessory.
In the first case, the ritual should be repeated with tying knots and reading a prayer. Secondly, throw away the decoration. It won't do any good.
Torn
The situation is similar. The accessory breaks due to age, magical influence, or poor quality. If the amulet has outlived its usefulness, it is burned. Whether to buy a new thread or not is up to everyone to decide for themselves. Perhaps he will like another talisman.
Knot magic for making wishes come true
How to tie a red thread correctly? In order for a wish-fulfilling thread on your wrist to bring the desired effect, familiarize yourself with all the principles and details of its creation.
You need to create your personal amulet in high spirits and with good thoughts. Never try to put negative energy into the talisman - it will definitely turn in your direction. And a mountain of misfortune will fall on your head.
The knots should be strong, but you should not tighten them too much so as not to block the energy flows. Make them so that you can untie them with your own hands without using scissors or a knife.
The magic of the knots attracts what you need most and repels everything that currently bothers you.
If you want to attract something, and your desire consists of several stages, untie one knot after moving to each subsequent level.
If you are getting rid of something, you should not wear such a talisman. After the ceremony, it is either burned or buried deep underground - the main thing is to hide everything securely so that no one finds the used artifact. The nodes are kept intact.
On January 4, Christians celebrate the holiday of Anastasia the Pattern Maker, the patroness of knot magic. Amulets are especially strong and effective at this time. With their help you can get rid of the most powerful evil eye.
There is no specific place where you can weave a bracelet. For some, a secluded corner of nature suits them, others choose their own room, and some specifically go to the temple to make their own protective amulet there. The main thing is that during the process of creating it you feel comfortable and calm.
Where to buy and how to distinguish from a fake
The original is considered to be a red woolen thread that touched Rachel's tomb. Outwardly, she is no different from others. You can be sure of the originality of the amulet if you visit the tomb yourself. The bracelet purchased in Jerusalem is a little more trustworthy. But it is not a fact that it was sold by respectable people.
In most cases, our compatriots buy products via the Internet. In this case, it is impossible to distinguish a fake from the original. But you can calm down, since the main thing that matters is who put on the bracelet, how he did it, and whether he cast the spell. If it is not possible to buy products in Israel, you can safely purchase them on websites on the Internet or in specialized stores. The main attention should be paid to the quality of the material, otherwise the amulet will quickly tear, become untied or lose its appearance.
If you believe the reviews, the red thread works even for those who did not buy it in Jerusalem and tied it themselves. But the talisman has no power if it is not charged, so the right words, attitude and faith are important.
Prayer in Hebrew
To activate a piece of woolen thread and give it powerful force, you need to use certain rules that were described above. If you tie knots on a bracelet in a bad mood and in complete silence, the talisman will have no power. You should definitely read the spell, which usually comes with the amulet.
Above each node you need to pronounce certain words. Israelis are convinced that the most powerful prayer is the prayer in Hebrew. This is what should be said:
- “Ana Bakoa Hdulag Yaminha Tatir Tsura. Kabol Renat Askha Sagven Taaren Nora. Well Gibor Darshey Yehudha Kebevat Shomre. Burhem Tarem Rohomey Sidkedha Talid Galem. Gasin Kadosh Beruv Tolha Nael Oduteha. Yahid Gehe Lemha Pyune Zahray Shateha. Shavtane Kabol Umsha Tsakaten Yodza Talamut.”
Important! Each line of the prayer corresponds to tying a specific knot; you need to pronounce the words in full, and then begin tying a new knot.
When the amulet is completely ready, you should say:
- “Baruch shum gvod malakuto lelam vaed.”
