The amulet is tied with seven knots. In this case, a special spell is read. It usually comes with thread. The spell is recited so that there is one knot per line.
If the thread is too long, cut the ends. You can't throw them away, you have to save them. You can put it in a small bag or envelope and hide it in a secluded place, away from prying eyes.

Folk usemedicine
Wool thread is used in traditional medicine. It is tied around the arm for headaches, to heal scratches, wounds and improve blood circulation. What is it about?
- 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's wool.
-
The fibers of wool sheared from a live sheep are coated with a special wax. It's called lanolin. The substance is quickly absorbed into the skin, has a softening effect. Lanolin dissolves at the temperature of the human body and quickly penetrates into the vessels and muscles, helping to stimulate blood circulation.
Why red?
This sign has nothing to do with folk medicine. The thread can be any color, the emphasis is on its material: only wool is allowed.
It all started in the 18th century. The leadership of the English navy ordered a red thread to be woven 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 is why they began to talk about the red thread as a permanent sign.
Orthodoxy and the red thread
Can a Christian wear woolen thread? If we analyze everything that is described above, then the answer is negative. Kabbalistic teaching contradicts Christian. The church rejects him as diabolical.
Followers of Kabbalah recommend contacting a priest forfor him to tie a thread around a man's wrist. If you come to the temple with such a request to the priest, he is unlikely to fulfill it. This is a mockery of God: a baptized person voluntarily comes into contact with the enemy of Christ. And he tries to involve the priest in this.
The second moment is a spell. According to Christian teaching, they are used by sorcerers. And the latter serve the enemy of the human race. Yes, magicians are not allowed. A person who comes to a psychic comes into contact with an evil spirit.
From all that has been said, we can conclude: a Christian should not chase fashion by tying a red thread on his hand.
Conclusion
So, the red thread, so popular now, is forbidden by Orthodoxy. A person who considers himself a Christian will never put a woolen thread-amulet on his hand.
As for the rest of the people baptized in the Orthodox faith, we advise against it. Contact with evil spirits will not lead to good. The enemy of the human race will not help us. He doesn't need it at all. The sole purpose of the unclean is to lure the Christian soul into their nets.
