Most people don't know the meaning of the red thread on their wrists

A deep spiritual meaning

It's not just a fashionable accessory. The red bracelet is loaded with symbols. In the Kabbalistic tradition, it is more than a good luck: it is a true spiritual tool. This yarn, usually made of wool or cotton, must be knotted according to a very precise ritual: with seven knots.

These knots each represent a spiritual dimension of the human being. They could be compared to symbolic barriers, designed to block negativity and strengthen our positive intentions. It's this combination -- color, position, number of knots -- that makes it such a special amulet.

A golden rule: never put it on your own

According to tradition, this bracelet must never be bought for itself or knotted by its own care. It must be offered and attached by a person who wants you good: a close relative, a faithful friend, a loving spouse. This gesture strengthens the bond between the two people, and it is this benevolent intention that loads the bracelet with protective energy.
