The existence of damage and the evil eye now knowalmost everything, and even official science argues on these topics not with such primeval zeal as a couple of decades ago. As for the folk tradition, the problem of protection from energy impacts has always been relevant not only in Russia. You did not pay attention that many Western celebrities have a red thread around their wrist? It would seem, why would people with enormous capital wear such strange cheap jewelry?
This mysterious Kabbalah
In the West, recently began to recruitPopularity is an ancient teaching that is one of the currents in Judaism, called Kabbalah. It originated in the XII century and during its existence has undergone many changes, which, as a result, led to the emergence of various currents within the teachings. Now there are two main directions: mystical and scientific. For the “mystics,” Kabbalah is an ancient secret knowledge that has the goal of understanding the Creator, its role and goals. For adherents of the second direction, Kabbalah is the science of the universe and the meaning of the existence of man in it. It is the second direction that has recently become widespread in Europe and America, gradually penetrating into Russia. The red thread on the wrist is a peculiar symbol of belonging to this teaching, which has a sacred meaning.
Red thread kabbalah
The tradition of tying the red thread originated afterthe death of Rachel - the great great mother in Judaism, a symbol of the hope of the Jewish people to return to their ancestral lands. The place of her burial became a place of pilgrimage, in connection with which a ritual appeared to wrap Rachel’s tomb with a red thread, which as a result acquired properties of a charm, helped people who wore it in many difficult situations and in search of their place in life.
After the ritual, the thread is cut intoparts and tied to the hands of the closest and favorite people under reading prayers. The thread was supposed to be tied to seven knots, which is also part of the tradition, closing its owner from the evil eye, evil spells and helping him on the path of life. Why is the thread red? Kabbalah claims that red allows you to distract a detractor looking at you and dispel negative impact. The thread is worn only on the left hand, since the left side of the body attracts energy, and the thread, thus, is a kind of filter that cuts off the negative impact. That is why the red thread on the wrist is so important for every Kabbalist.
Kabbalah in modern life
К сожалению, современное общество очень subject to the influence of authorities: political leaders, pop stars and movies. We often copy other people's traditions without even bothering to understand their essence. Most of those who have a red thread tied at the wrist are not even aware of its purpose. This was the reason for the appearance of costume jewelry, made in the style of this ancient shrine. We wear brilliant trinkets, pinning our hopes on them and looking for protection, without sometimes thinking that the best talisman in any situation would be a positive outlook on life and “armor” from a good mood. We ourselves must become a “red thread” for ourselves and our relatives.
