Red thread (kabbalah) is an amulet made of ordinary red woolen thread, which is tied around the wrist of the left hand. Kabbalah is a peculiar part of Judaism. This esoteric trend arose in the Middle Ages, and over time it gained extraordinary popularity, which still takes place today.
The Legend of Lilith
According to the teachings of Kabbalah, the red thread is designed to protect the one on whose hand it is from envy, illness, evil spirits. Its use as an amulet is explained in the legend of Lilith. Adam's first wife, whose name was Lilith, turned into an evil demon and left her husband. When she was flying over the Red Sea, she was overtaken by angels sent by the Almighty: Sansenoy, Seine and Samangelof. They failed to return Lilith, but they managed to take from her a promise not to kill children, on which there will be the names of these three angels or her personal names. And since one of the names of Lilith was Odem - “redness” in Hebrew, then the adherents of the teachings of Kabbalah began to consider it - the red thread is able to protect againstdemons.
Features of the teachings of Kabbalah
A loved one should tie a red thread on the wrist. You need to tie seven knots. In addition, the thread must be purchased, and not woven by yourself. In principle, Kabbalah does not imply any restrictions or prohibitions. It is only about energy, positive or negative. Therefore, in the teachings of Kabbalah, the red thread is interpreted not just as a talisman against all evil. This is a whole protective system based on the fact that negative energy comes from the eyes.
According to researcher Laitman, Kabbalah teaches that the negative energy of the evil eye can affect not only well-being, but also a person's life. It can prevent us from achieving the goals assigned by fate, and even deprive us of what we have already achieved. But in the teachings of Kabbalah, the red thread serves as a protection against such negativity.
Using red thread
Wool thread acts like a vaccine when vaccinated, that is, it enhances our spiritual immunity. It is necessary to tie a protective thread exactly on the left hand, because negative energy enters us from this side.
It is worth noting that the red thread is used as a talisman not only in Kabbalah. For example, the Bulgarians stuck a needle with a red thread into a white handkerchief at the threshold of the house in which the deceased was, as they believed that in this way they help the soul to go to heaven.
Newborn babies were tied with a red thread to the umbilical cord to protect their body from the penetration of evil demons, the evil eye and diseases. ATIn some cultures, a red thread is still worn around the baby's wrist to protect the child from skin diseases.
Adults tie red woolen threads on their arms and legs for joint diseases or sprains. Previously, warts were treated with the help of a red thread. It was tied when reading a prayer, it had as many knots on it as a person has warts. Then they burned her. So not only was the red thread used in the Jewish Kabbalah, other cultures also perceived it as a protective amulet. It is impossible to say for sure that the thread on the left wrist will save you from diseases and the evil eye, but that it will not harm you is guaranteed.
