Many people wear red thread. Stars, businessmen, ordinary people. It is believed that it protects from the evil eye, brings good luck and prosperity. According to folk medicine, woolen thread improves blood circulation, helps to cope with headache attacks.
But is it worth it to wear, you will learn from the article.
What teaching is used?
The thread is one of the attributes of Kabbalistic teaching. His followers claim that she protects against damage and the evil eye. Woolen thread is worn on the left hand. Through this hand passes the energy that charges a person’s aura. The wearer of such a charm is reliably protected from various troubles. This is what the followers of Kabbalah say.
Why wear?
Woolen thread on the wrist is worn to attract good luck. Put on the left hand, it attracts stability, prosperity and happiness to a person's life. The amulet is tied to itself and to children.
When a person becomes ill, he ties a thread on his right hand. If the left draws energy into the body, then the right gives it away. And the thread helps to "stretch" all the bad, to destroy the disease.
On the Internet you can find information that the amulet contributes to the fulfillment of desires. When he is tied to his hand, it is necessary to think about the most intimate, and it will surely be fulfilled.
Some features
There is a certain ritual associated with wearing a woolen thread. It can not be bought in a regular store. The amulet must be brought from a sacred place. An ideal option would be a thread from Israel.
Putting on your own is not recommended. The amulet is useless when a person ties it himself. This should be done by a close relative, soulmate, best friend or clergyman.
Tying ritual
How to tie a woolen thread on your wrist?
The amulet is tied at seven knots. In this case, a special spell is cast. Usually it comes with a thread. The spell is cast so that there is one knot per line.
If the thread is too long, cut off its ends. You can’t throw them away, you need to save. You can put it in a small bag or envelope and hide in a secluded place, away from prying eyes.
The remains of the thread can be burned: at this moment you need to think about something good.
How long to wear?
There is no term. Woolen amulet, as a rule, is worn constantly. If its owner finds that the thread has frayed or disappeared, this is considered a good sign. This means that the amulet took everything bad, nourished the aura of the owner to the maximum, protected him from troubles.
Use in traditional medicine
Woolen thread is used in folk medicine. It is tied to the arm for headaches, to heal scratches, wounds and improve blood circulation. What is the reason for this?
Wool is the purest material. Its structure allows the skin to breathe. Our ancestors knew about this property, as well as about the healing properties of sheep wool.
Fibers of wool sheared from live sheep are coated with special wax. It is called lanolin. The substance is rapidly absorbed into the skin, has a softening effect. Lanolin dissolves at the temperature of the human body and quickly penetrates the vessels and muscles, helping to stimulate blood circulation.
Why red?
This omen has nothing to do with traditional medicine. The thread can be of any color, the emphasis is on its material: only wool is permissible.
It all started in the 18th century. The leadership of the English navy ordered to weave the red thread into the ropes. And to extract it, it was necessary to destroy the entire rope. Even if a very small piece was cut off, the rope of the navy was easily recognized in it. That's why they started talking about the red thread as a constant sign.
Orthodoxy and the Red Thread
Is it possible to wear a woolen thread to a Christian? If you analyze everything that is said above, then the answer is negative. Kabbalistic teaching is contrary to Christian. The church rejects it, considering it diabolical.
The followers of Kabbalah recommend contacting the priest so that he would tie a thread to the man’s wrist. If you come to the temple with such a request, he is unlikely to fulfill it. This is a mockery of God: a baptized person voluntarily makes contact with the adversary of Christ. And he is trying to draw a priest into it.
The second point is the spell. According to Christian doctrine, they are used by sorcerers. And the latter serve the enemy of the human race. Yes, and referring to magicians is prohibited. A person who has come to psychics is in contact with evil spirits.
From all that has been said, it can be concluded: a Christian should not chase fashion by tying a red thread on his hand.
Conclusion
So, the red thread, so popular today, is prohibited by Orthodoxy. A person who considers himself a Christian will never put on his hand a woolen thread-amulet.
As for the rest of the people baptized in the Orthodox faith, we advise against this. Contact with evil spirits will not lead to good. The enemy of the human race will not help us. He doesn't need that at all. The sole purpose of the unclean is to lure the Christian soul into its nets.
