Red string worn to ward off misfortune

Wearing a thin scarlet or a crimson string (Hebrew: חוט השני, khutt hashani) as a type of talisman is a Jewish folk custom which is practiced as a way to ward off misfortune which is brought about by the "evil eye" (Hebrew: עין הרע). The tradition is popularly thought to be associated with Kabbalah and religious forms of Judaism. The red string itself is usually made from thin scarlet wool thread. It is worn as a bracelet or band on the left wrist of the wearer (understood in some Kabbalistic theory as the receiving side of the spiritual body), knotted seven times. The person has to knot it seven times while saying the kabbalah bracelet prayer.

In relation to traditional beliefs [ edit ]

Red strings around the wrist are common in many folk beliefs;[1] for example the kalava is a Hindu version. There is no written mention in the Torah, Halacha, or Kabbala about tying a red string around the wrist. It seems to be a custom that has been around since at least the early 1900s.[1]

Biblical history [ edit ]

A scarlet thread, tied about the wrist, is mentioned in Genesis 38. Tamar becomes pregnant by her father-in-law, Judah, and gives birth to twin boys. The following verses about this event are taken from the King James Bible:

Genesis, chapter 38:

27 – And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb. 28 – And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first. 29 – And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez. 30 – And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.[2]

Modern trend [ edit ]

Today in Israel, it is common to see elderly women peddling scarlet thread for pilgrims and tourists, especially in the Old City of Jerusalem.[3][4] Outside of Israel in the late 1990s the red string became popular with many celebrities, including many non-Jews including Madonna and her children, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Michael Jackson, and later by Ariana Grande.[5][6][7][8] The wider popularity is often linked to Philip Berg's Kabbalah Centre.[9][10] It also gained a surge in sales for Madonna according to editors of Changing Fashion: A Critical Introduction to Trend Analysis and Cultural Meaning (2007).[11]

What do thread colors mean?

Red Thread: true love. Orange thread: true friendship. Yellow thread: family love. Blue thread: people who love each other, care for each other, but aren't soulmates. White thread: mothers' love for their children.

wattpad.com - Destiny - Color guide of the threads - Wattpad

As I am updating only during the weekends and I have been told that it is confusing, here is a list of the threads and the meaning of their colors:

Red Thread: true love

Orange thread: true friendship

Yellow thread: family love

Blue thread : people who love each other, care for each other, but aren't soulmates

White thread : mothers' love for their children

Green thread: sick love, maybe a blue thread that became obsession or abuse.

Violet thread: true love that is about to die.

Brown thread: fake love, there is no true love or concern for the other person

Black thread: forced love

Those are the colors that have appeared so far, I will update this chapter if another color appear, like the color of Forth and Beam's thread for example. 😏

I thought this was accurate to the story so far
